Today is New Years Day, 2014. On this day ten years ago, I was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery with a 4-inch vertical incision straight through my belly button, and a third of my large intestine removed. That was the lowest point of my life... A few months ago, while rummaging through some old stuff, I found a video clip of me in the hospital, shot immediately after I came out of surgery. I was in recovery, barely conscious, waiting to be taken to a room. But somehow I managed to film myself for a few moments. I'm glad I did.

Here are four video clips of my talk at the 2013 Hungry 4 Health Organic Festival in Branson, MO.

A major ally in my quest to heal cancer naturally was Clinical Nutritionist / Master Herbalist John Smothers at Integrative Wellness & Research Center in Memphis, TN. He was the first person to tell me I was doing the right thing by rejecting chemo and radically changing my diet and lifestyle. Words cannot explain how exciting that was for me... Along with a strict anti-cancer diet he recommended a lot of different supplements to support healing in my body. As you can imagine, the question about supplements comes up a lot. "What did you you take, what brands, how much, how often?" I've been hesitant to get into those details because some of the supplements I took were specific to my body's needs and may not be beneficial for every person with cancer. So recently I sat down with John and asked him to put together an updated cancer supplement protocol that I could share with you. These are the fundamental supplements that he recommends for all his clients with cancer (including me), along with strict diet modification.

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.

I whipped up this little video to show you how I make my salads and salad dressing. Enjoy!

Ok so after several requests I decided to shoot a quick video on the raw vegan coconut fruit smoothie I drank everyday as part of my anti-cancer diet.

Another key component in my cancer fight was drinking copious amounts of herbal teas. Specifically the ones with high anti-oxidant and immune boosting properties. Most days I would have a hot cup in the morning, iced herbal tea with meals, and a hot cup before bed. I highly recommend you get these super healthy teas into your body, pronto!

I am not a doctor or a scientist.  I am a self-educated chemo-free cancer survivor and I often have people contact me who want to know more. In this post I explain in the simplest terms what I have come to understand and believe to be true about chemotherapy and why I did not do it.

We've all heard that most people need 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but you may need much more, like 9-10.  Not getting enough sleep night after night leads to a "sleep deficit" that keeps growing.  And with that sleep deficit comes a gradual degradation of your health. A major key to health is figuring out how much sleep you need, then getting it.

If you're eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you're putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.

The Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute recommend you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day, but 10 servings per day is optimal. Let's face it, that's tough to do! Most folks I know don't even average 1 serving per day. Our bodies are starving for nutrients and juicing is the best way to extract massive amounts of nutrients from vegetables; without having to sit down and eat several pounds of vegetables per day. Knowing what to juice and what not to juice is critical.

These cancer-fighting spices have powerful health benefits and were part of my daily regimen to heal cancer without chemo.

This recipe was given to me as part of my Anti-Cancer Diet by my Naturopath and I drank it nearly everyday, usually as an afternoon snack. Surgeon Generals Warning: Highly Addictive Deliciousness.

Before I get into the details of the raw vegan diet, it’s important to understand that our bodies are complex biological machines, and the food we eat is the fuel. Our bodies are brilliantly designed by God to convert all types of food substances into fuel and energy to sustain life. When you eat, you […]

To strengthen your body's ability to fight cancer, you need to eat what I ate: The biggest baddest healthiest salad on the planet! It consists of raw organic vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts and homemade dressing. This salad is super healthy, delicious and will fill you up without zapping your energy.
