Jessica Richards was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2007. Her doctors told her she needed chemo, mastectomy, breast reconstruction, six weeks of radiotherapy and five years of hormone blockers, but she decided she wanted to beat breast cancer holistically.
Nine years later she is completely well. She no longer has breast cancer and she did no medical treatment!
Jessica and I connected on facebook a few years ago and finally met in person when I spoke in London this summer. I pulled her aside and we shot an interview, in which she tells the remarkable story of how she beat breast cancer.
Jessica is a beautiful, tough, wise and inspirational woman. Enjoy!

Kinda wish I had this type of feedback before I got panicked into making decisions that I wouldn’t have. I had thyroid cancer 25 years ago. That gland was removed and I’ve been on a fake hormone since and been a life long patient. Then fast forward 25 yrs to me getting breast cancer. No one could tell me if the 2 were linked. I had both breasts removed in the hope that I wouldn’t ever get it again. Now they are saying that that wont help. Also I sliced and diced my body to make a new set BUT that just scarred up and traumatized the other body parts that were ok and “calm”. The cancer was in the left side. I had chemo damage to my salivary glands so I’m sitting on 3 teeth that need work, bone spurs, 1/3 of my hair grew back but lost volume. Cancer has made me broke though I have insurance. I’m doing everything I can to get off this medical train as they have no answers to why I got either cancer, the drugs cause so much side effects that I take more drugs. I should have a bumper sticker that says my money goes to cancer treatment. Can you imagine going to a car shop and asking what’s wrong with my car and he says “hey you need a brake job”. That’ll be $600. BUT my brakes are fixed that just what he checked into. So I go into the oncologist and she says we don’t know what caused the cancer that will be $600 at the door. Nothing is fixed but hey I’m out $600. The US medical system is broke in the same way the educational system is or the justice system. The internet has too many ideas on what causes cancer from the gmo’s , chem trails, pollution, fungus, metabolic syndrome etc. There are over 250K people killed each year in the US on bad medical mistakes BUT the press doesn’t cover it cause they are reporting terrorism or cops killing unarmed people. Yes those are news worthy but the medical establishment is killing higher numbers and the other 2 combined. Sorry for all this commentary…

I am a “cancer survivor” and went through the surgery,chemo,radiation, and started the pills.Under pressure of the Drs. I went in too fast. When I got to the pills and they were having bad effects (like a blood clot in my leg),I finally got the courage to ask if they were needed. The answer was “they think it might help”. I stopped them and other medicines that I was taking because of side effects.After all the tests I had, I was never given a reason why I had cancer. I now have advanced arthritis and don’t know what to do.I went to a hip surgeon and his answer was one of the most ridiculous things I have heard.I am also afraid of replacement because of the recalls and law suites. I am at the point of, was this all worth it? I am 68 and look worse than my mother did at 98.I don’t believe the Drs. and all the pills that are advertised don’t seem to do anything.
Yes , I can really get your message and you are solo right . They don’t want to think about what they are doing to people while they are getting a six figure salary . There is a radiation oncologist who also tries to change things but is angry that his lower damage radiation protocol for breast treatment is ignored by oncologists. He has extensive information and also food, acupuncture, supplements and online appointments. Dr Lawenda in CA., also another compassionate Dr – Dr Eliaz has a regular meditation, healing retreat for less than $200 in CA. He also meditates and does traditional Chinese and Ayuvadic medicine. He has an extensive website. There is also Practical Keto diet site. She is Irish and just published another book thats become a best seller … she is getting a lot of backlash from the cancer industry.
Do not be sorry for your well experienced observations! Thank you for them!
I too am a Cancer survivor (bladder and kidney). One year ago I changed my diet to an all Whole food diet and cut out all sugar and starches. Cancer feeds off sugar. All people who have cancer or had it in the past MUST stop eating sugar (which includes starches and alcohol). I stopped eating all processed foods, all red meats and have limited my animal protein to poultry and fish. Most of the food I eat is organic. Cancer can be beaten. And it starts with our diets. Up your vitamin D intake to at least 10,000 IUs (I take 15,000 a day).
Foods heal. Drugs kill!
Thank you for your work, Chris. And thanks for your candid story, Jessica!
Absolute terrific story and strong woman. I understand perfectly that asking questions makes you STOP and THINK. I had a lumpectomy but couldn’t allow any other conventional treatment. I was rushed into it, and sadly didn’t think first. Even more sadly 18 lymph nodes (ALL negative) were removed and I developed lymphedema. But years of self-care keeps me well. This started in Jan 1993. I founded nonprofit Annie Appleseed Project providing information to help others make those MUCH more informed decisions. There is SO MUCH in the natural world that serves us well. Thanks Chris, thanks Jessica for all you do.
Anne,
Is there anywhere you recommend where I could read about solutions to the lymphedema problem? My mother, who is still very sick but trying to heal herself with holistic methods, is suffering from horrible pain because of this. I know that they are massages that can help the lymph, but the doctors think it might help the cancer to move forward, and that we should wait for her to recover from cancer before taking care of the lymphedema. The problem is that the pain is making her very tired, and I think it’s difficult to heal under those curcomstances…(she doesn’t sleep at night, we even tried morphin, even though we are trying to stay away from drugs, but she turned out to be allergic…)Did you find a solution for your arm? Thank you very much for your time!
Another great one Chris ……..Many Thanks ! Best Wishes, Dermot (Cork,Ireland)
Any chance of you coming to Ireland next time you are in Europe?
Thank you Chris for sharing her story.I am also a BC survivor
What an inspiring woman!
My wife battle with Breast cancer started 2 years ago, after so many Chemo, Radiation and other natural therapy treatment that i took just to cure my Breast cancer, it all did not work for my condition. I have been treating this disease for the past 2 years, but today i am here telling the world about my final victory over Breast cancer with the help of cannabis oil medication. This is a breakthrough in my family with so much Joy in our life today, i do really appreciate all the help and contribution from every member of my family for all they did for me. And if you have any kind of cancer diseases, there is no need to waste money on Chemo or Radiation, go get cannabis oil from Rick Simpson cancer research centre( ri***********@***il.com ),this is a medication that totally kill cancer cells.
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and she was at the point of death, with cancer of the Breast in it final stage is now back alive and she is so healthy now. Thanks to Rick simpson cannabis oil that we bought at: ri***********@***il.com, the Hemp oil was successfully used in curing my mother breast cancer within 3 months as stated in phoenix tear.

Wow such courage and determination. Women rock!! And so do you Chris. I was really moved by Carla’s story and many others you’ve posted as well. I was diagnosed with Ovarion Cancer in Nov last year. (The primary was actually in the Fallopian tube matastisized to the appendix and omentum.) I had surgery and chemo as I was rushed into it but also surrendered knowing I could take myself on naturally after that. I have been following you, Chris and Ty Bollinger and etc and caring for myself with Organics, juices and supplements plus exercise. But… always wondering if I’m doing enough. There seems to be so much that I could do if I had the finances ( working on that) I have found meditation and visualization, breathing aliveness through my body all works too. Thank you for your inspiration and generous sharing to help the thousands of people going through this challenging illness. Gabriella Armondo -Australia
hi chris
it would be good if u interviewed john rose ! :)
Life bounce back
I want to specially thank Rick Simpson for saving my friend’s life with his healing oil. some years back my friend Rose was diagonized with a deadly disease cancer of the lungs, we try all medication all to no avail, we also try to do the oil our selves but we were doing more harm than worse, we became frustrated.
One day, I saw a post on facebook on how the cannabis oil had cured a cancer patient, I quickly emailed the mail: ri***************@***il.com from that very moment we to give it a trier, instantly we got a reply from him asking us what the exact cancer problem my friend Rose has, we explained every details of it to him and he told us, that his oil will heal my friend cancer problem only if we can order for it as soon as possible which we did.
He calculated the dosage for us to buy the dosage he calculated was 60grams of the medication oil which we ordered plus 30grams maintenance free and also with a body lotion and soap. He told us that if we order it online now by the next 48hours the medication will get to our door step through the delivery services, we decided to give it a try and hold on to his words, behold when we did, in exactly 48hours of ordering the medication, the medication came to our door step through the delivery agent and deliver it to us.
Why doesn’t this interview involve a detailed part on what she took, when she took it, what diet? What foods? What supplements? Why? Do I have to pay for this information ?
I recently talked with a beautiful young woman in Indonesia. She had 3 tumours that doubled in 6 months. She had become very skinny – 35 kg. She was about to have surgery and cancelled that day and flew back to her village in Flores. She saw a traditional herbalist. His prescription was , crush red shallots with same amount sugar and use as poltice at night. 3 -4 drops of euphorbia juice in water x3 times a day – less if you feel sick. Danced for an hour a day to her favourite music. In 2 months her tumours had decreased – 15 years latter she is healthy and happy studying accountancy and working. She met other woman whose cancer was open wound and they also healed. The euphorbia is Euphorbia Tirucalli L, many euphorbia are medicinal but make you sick in high doses. There is also a lot of research on Allium family – garlic and onions – they have strong antibiotic and anti cancer uses.
My name is Judy Conway. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through the chemotherapy, mastectomy, and radiotherapy, and am going through the 5 year plan of hormone blockers. I went to my primary care physician and asked for a CA125. The test came back the the number 74. I don’t plan to go back to the cancer center. I had that test when I had my last visit with my OB/GYM several years ago and had the results of 38. I am looking for a plan to abolish the cancer. I know that the next doctor will tell me to go back to the cancer center in Gilbert. I know that the next pcp will tell me to go back to the cancer center. I am 67 and want to live long enough to see grandchildren. Both of my children are not married and have no children themselves. I have to do something more than what I am doing now. I have no one to follow me with the results. My pcp has already left this area to another office. Her partners don’t use the health plan that I have. I don’t know which way to go to find an honest doctor.
Hello, I am helping someone find alternatives to tamoxifen. Any comments are welcome.

Curious, how does the tumor fall out of the skin after the black sauve treatment?
Any tips for Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
Chris have you ever talked to anybody that has has AML Leukemia and had a bone marrow transplant and went through chemo and stopped it and went the natural route. I’m done watching my mother suffer, I just want to take her home now and start doing an all raw diet 100% of the time. The Doctor told me not to be juicing her because it will harm her and interfere with her medications they are giving her. I’m like there’s no way good nutriton could hurt, they feed her junk in there that I won’t even feed my kids!! What should I do?? I feel helpless!
Many have stopped conventional treatment and healed with nutrition.
I wish that you had a written version of the interview.
I don’t watch on-line videos.

ME AND MY CANCER
Hi, My name’s Gloria, I’m 43 years old. In August 2013, I had a heart attack and subsequently had a double bypass. As a result of the heart surgery, for 4 year plus, I have been plagued with chronic debilitating pain from a maligned sternum and post sternotomy neuralgia/syndrome. I was ingesting copious amounts of various pain killers 24/7, They barely touched the pain.
I spent my days in agony, waiting for evening so I could try to sleep. I took sleeping pills nightly in a futile attempt to escape the hell I was going through and failed miserably. Within 2 hours of taking the pills, I would be awake in agony.
Fast forward to May 2017. Already coping with 2 spots of skin cancer on my collar bone, I was stunned when I was diagnosed with Anal Canal Cancer. (This is the same cancer that took Farrah Fawcett’s life.) Following 2 surgeries, the doctor told me they did not get all the cancer and I would have to endure a regime of radiation treatments. I started researching what this would entail, and attended an intake meeting at the Cancer Clinic. I was informed that “this is the worst area of the body to radiate”, the radiation beam would hit both my coccyx and pubic bone potentially causing permanent damage.” They would try not to hit my spine.
Additionally, I would suffer 2nd and 3rd degree burns vaginally, rectally, across my buttocks, as well as my entire “nether regions”, and there was a “good possibility” both my vagina and rectum would fuse shut from the burns and subsequent scaring and long term side effects was endless and horrendous. I told the doctor, I needed time to think about it. His response was hostile, as he told me I had 4-6 months, possibly 8. He murmured something about a “death wish” and walked out. One day a friend sent me a
Video, It took me days to get around to watching it, but when I did I was blown away.
There was this man talking about Dr Musa and the amazing results he had seen with in himself and other people taking Dr Musa’s herbal medicine and Cannabis oil gotten from him and curing themselves of a myriad of diseases and viruses including end stage cancers.
After watching the video and the testimonials, i was feeling some hope for the first time. For 2 weeks I did nothing but research cannabis oil as a medicine. I was stunned by the sheer number of studies on Pub Med indicating that cannabis oil indeed has the capacity to heal. I contacted Dr Musa using the email i got from the video and assured me that i am going to be healed of all my sickness, with the high hope of getting a cure and assurance given to me by Dr Musa, I got the medications and started using I had huge hopes to cure my cancer, and embarked on my fight to live.
As i was ingesting the cannabis oil and taking the herbal medicine, I tipically applied the herbal medicine to the 2 spots of skin cancer on my collar bone. Within 48 hours, there were visible changes, In just a week, the 2 spots were completely gone. Elated, I continued ingesting the oil and using the herbal medicine in hopes it would work on the other cancer attacking my body. Nothing prepared me for what happened next. About 2 weeks of using Dr Musa herbal medicine, the pain in my sternum, as well as the nerve pain had become non existent.
You have to understand, I had resigned myself to a life sentence of pain and agony. It had been 4 years of pain that was with me 24/7 and never, in my wildest dreams, did I imagine I would be pain free ever again. I was able to stand up straight, the jolting pain so intense that it would cause me to cry out, ceased completely. I started to sleep through the night and stopped taking sleeping pills.
I saw one of my doctors a couple of weeks ago and was thrilled to hear he believes there is a decrease in both the size and number of tumors. I know in my heart it is only a matter of time before I will be completely cured.
Before I started using Dr Musa’s herbal medicine, I typically took 10-15 Tylenol 3 a day, along with a smorgasbord of other drugs. Now, i have done away with them, Not only has Dr Musa herbal medicine changed my life, it is SAVING my life.
On September 20, 2017, I saw my specialist/surgeon, whom I had not seen for a long time. He examined me once, then a second time, and then a third time. My heart was pounding so loudly I could hear the whooshing in my ears. And then the news I had only dared to hope for. “It’s gone! I can’t find anything at all. If it wasn’t for the scar tissue I would never have known you ever had cancer.” I was shaking, looking at him in disbelief. Tears streaming down my face, I hugged him mumbling, “thank you, thank you.” He looked at me, “No, Thank YOU! You’re the one that did this. You DID it Gloria! You pulled it off, you pulled it off! No doctor, Dr Musa herbal medicine and I pulled it off!.
If you are in such a situation never loose hope and dont give up as it does no good to you, if you feel you have done all your best and there is nothing to relly on, Dr Musa is there to listen to your story and give a permanent solution to your problems.
You can contact him on his email address at: dr.musatradomedicalcentre@ gmailcom
