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!
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…
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.
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…
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.
Ann E. Fonfa, Jan 1993 breast cancer, age 44
Describe your experience with conventional doctors and treatments:
Was suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity and ill often from exposures – usually had to stay in bed for days at a time.
Had an amazingly (I thought) unsympathetic oncologist who suggested chemo and told me it didn’t matter when I explained my problems with reactions to smells, and chemicals.
I walked out and did not return. Refused radiation, then hormonal treatment. But I consented to lots of small surgeries as I had five years of local recurrence (even after mastectomy)…
Here’s a new video interview I did on Barbell Shrugged, a health and fitness podcast.
I tell the long version of my story and we discuss nutrition, fitness, faith, mental attitude, the will to live, etc.
Warning: The dialogue gets a bit salty from time to time.
Hi, my name is Audree Lee and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980, 6 months after my mother died of cancer.
My father died 2-1/2 years before her.
They both chose Chemo and Radiation.
I was given those options, but I decided to take my health in my own hands and started by changing my diet…
This may be the most important post I’ll ever write…
In 1991 two researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine discovered a way to disable every virus, bacteria, and pathogen on the planet; including the AIDS virus.
This is arguably the most remarkable discovery in medicine in the last 100 years. It was quickly suppressed.
What they didn’t count on was that a retired inventor and physicist named Bob Beck would hack their research, build a device with parts from radio shack, and give his research and instructions to build this powerful healing device away for free.
