Linda’s Survivor Story: Root Canals and Cancer

My name is Linda, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June of 2010 at age 47.
I had the surgery and unfortunately I did the chemo. A few months into the chemo I started reading books and changed a lot of things. I finished all but one treatment – I did stop early though because of the things I had learned while reading and researching.

I changed my diet to completely vegan, with juicing, I started doing the flax oil and cottage cheese (Budwig Protocol), drinking Essiac Tea, and began seeing a naturopathic doctor who also has medical doctors at his clinic who deal with cancer, and changed my supplements to the best I could buy.

But the thing that I think saved my life was having all of my root canals removed…

Why I Don’t Race for the Cure

Here’s a quick video I shot to explain why I don’t “Race for the Cure”, wear a Livestrong bracelet, grow a moustache for Movember, and generally oppose most cancer charities.

Curing Cancer Pain with Nasal Spray?
Dr. Emanuel Revici, Capsaicin, and Sinus Buster.
My Interview with Natural Survivor/Author Kelly Eidem

Today’s post is a video interview I did this week with Kelley Eidem, author of

The Doctor Who Cures Cancer: The Story of Dr. Emanuel Revici, MD .

Kelley and I discuss:

-Dr Revici’s relatively unknown work and natural cancer treatment approach
-How to determine whether your body is in an anabolic or catabolic state
-What that means and how it should determine your specific anti-cancer diet
-What types of foods relieve cancer pain naturally
-How Kelly used what he learned from Dr. Revici to heal his own cancer naturally

And the strange and remarkable pain relief some cancer patients are getting from an all natural homeopathic nasal spray.

The Best Exercise For Your Immune System:
Rebounding!

Back in 2004 when I first started to research natural therapies I read every natural cancer survival testimony I could find. I found many common threads and one of them was jumping on a mini trampoline, aka Rebounding. I figured since so many natural survivors and health practitioners were doing it there must be something to it…

Here’s a video I made about rebounding along with a detailed blog post about the science behind rebounding.

Study Shows How Chemotherapy Backfires and Boosts Cancer Growth

Chemotherapy can cause damage to healthy cells which triggers them to secrete a protein that sustains tumour growth and resistance to further treatment, from a study published in Nature Medicine.

Researchers in the United States made the “completely unexpected” finding while seeking to explain why cancer cells are so resilient inside the human body when they are easy to kill in the lab.

Interview with Raw Vegan Bodybuilder
Wade Lightheart!

In what I think is a perfect follow up to my Orthorexia post…

Here’s a video interview I did with raw vegan bodybuilder Wade Lightheart.
Wade is an excellent example of how some people can thrive on a raw diet.
We talk about diet, training, fasting, enzymes, and more.
He’s an incredible resource of health knowledge so get your notepad ready!

Enjoy!

Steve: Melanoma Survivor Since 2003

Hi Chris, Thanks so much for sharing and helping others who need encouragement, hope and faith! You have a beautiful family and I’m sure they are glad you’re still here and well.

Ironically, I was diagnosed in the same year as you, in 2003, with melanoma. I totally related to your description of the “emotions” I was feeling.
Like you Chris, my interest in natural cures and remedies started after I had surgery and was facing the strong arm of the doctors, to start chemotherapy…

Orthorexia: An Unhealthy Obsession With Health Food

So is it possible to have an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating?
Sounds a bit ridiculous right?

We live in a toxic world. We’re bombarded with toxins every day from external sources and in the processed junk food we eat. This is why so many of us are sick. Simply put, food provides is the fuel for every cell in our bodies and the best fuel comes from clean organic whole food sources.

So yes, healthy eating is extremely important, heck that’s what this blog is all about!

But it is possible to become so obsessive over your health to a degree that you actually become unhealthy.

Watch this movie: Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

This movie has been out for awhile and it just occurred to me that I have’t said anything about it on the blog. So today I am!

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is a documentary about Joe Cross, an overweight pill-popping Australian man with a rare chronic disease who decides to go on a 60-day juice fast while road-tripping across the U.S.

There some really amazing serendipitous events that happen along the way which I won’t divulge, but I will tell you that his health transformation is incredible…

My TV Debut (and my Mom’s!)

Fox 13 Memphis aired this feature news story about my decision to fight cancer with nutrition and natural therapies.
I was a bit apprehensive about how it would turn out…

But it was really great!

And I think my mom got more camera time than me LOL!
But it’s cool, cause she’s awesome.

Big thanks to reporter Lauren Johnson for doing such a terrific job with this.
