I also created a coaching program for cancer patients and anyone who is serious about prevention called SQUARE ONE. It contains the step-by-step strategies used by myself and many others who have healed cancer with a holistic approach using nutrition and natural non-toxic therapies.

Hi Chris.
Another inspiring and informative interview. Thank you for helping others through your work. May God continue to give you wisdom as you do what He bid us to do: service and love to others. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you so much Chris!
It is so nice to meet Karla! I’ve learned a lot from her.
Thanks!
Thank you Chris for all your breast cancer information this month! I was first diagnosed with bc in ‘09 and like your guest did some of the typical interventions out of fear. After my 5 yr free and clear check up, I was done with drs and just lived my life happy go lucky or so I thought until ‘23 when I got the dreaded news that my bc was now metastasized in my bones. I never even knew that others had healed their cancers with diet and lifestyle changes (who would have thunk it) so started down the oncology path but really it wasn’t helping but made me worse. I did however do some unconventional supplements and that led me to finding you on a podcast. Wow what a contrast of thinking and it truly gave me hope. Thank you thank you thank you! I feel better than I have since I was a kid. I am trying to spread the news but conventional medicine has such a foothold in people’s minds. I do get that fear is a real debilitating thing and I know of some that have passed (using conventional medicine). Keep up the good work.
Kirsten, I’d love to connect. I have the same diagnosis. I am very holistic minded but currently meeting with traditional medicine docs. I’m overwhelmed and scared.
Would be happy to connect. Not sure how.
I like following you, but when you say it’s dangerous you can die and only a few can do it! Becomes detrimental. There so many an educated lot who have healed their Cancer in a very simple straight forward protocols. This people will never be known by the masses . My point is it is doable again and again
You took a lot of time talking about yourself. You can see she tried to talk but you continued with your own story. Especially on forgiveness. Your experience is valuable but I want to hear other survivor’s steps taken too.
