Two and a half months ago, my medical doctor found a lump in my left breast. My initial reaction was that it was probably just a cyst, as I have no history of any cancers in my family. But my optimism did not have any bearing on the actual diagnosis. A follow-up mammogram confirmed a suspicious tumor and a biopsy was done. The lump was malignant. I was told I had an aggressive form of breast cancer and that I needed to have the lump removed, followed by chemotherapy and radiation as soon as possible. I remember the fear that I felt. It flooded my body and I felt paralyzed. All I could think about was my two children. How would I tell them? Would I live to see them grow?I have always been a naturalist. When my children were born, I made a decision not to vaccinate them. I nursed them and always treated them naturally for their colds, coughs, fevers, aches and pains using homeopathic, essential oils and herbs to support them. They are healthy girls to this day. Could I not do the same for myself? I began on a journey to read and research everything could get my hands on to support me on the is quest.
I began eliminating all dairy, sugar and caffeine. As healthy as I thought my diet was, I was enjoying my daily coffee and sugar consumption (my weakness). I learned that cancers feed off the sugar, so I made a decision to starve the cancer. Within a few weeks of eliminating these three items, I immediately felt a difference in the size of my tumor. My doctor was not encouraged and felt the decrease was very minor. She insisted that the cancer was aggressive and that I should be thinking of my children and begin treatment immediately. I left her office frightened and discouraged. For me, the option of chemotherapy and radiation was more frightening than the cancer itself. But the next morning I awoke again with an inner conviction to continue reading and researching and continuing on a path I knew in my heart to be true. I counteracted her response by finding more uplifting positive testimonials (and there are many). Their stories gave me the hope, determination and positive energy to continue on a path of healing I needed. Shortly after this situation with my doctor, I was given a CD on health to listen to. This health talk helped me understand the human body and healing in way that was simple, yet profound.
(I would bde happy to share this with you)Following some very basic and easy steps, the tumor began to decrease significantly. I transitioned to a vegetarian diet, eliminating all meat and fish. I began juicing fresh vegetable juices, wheat grass, preparing raw meals with lots of sprouts (very easy to do yourself) ,nuts, some grains, and hydrating with water to which I add a supergreen powder along with ph drops. This had a powerfully alkalizing effect on my body, and I began to feel more dramatic results. Only two and a half months later and the tumor is almost undetectable. My energy levels are increasing and there is a clarity in my thinking that I have gained. In this process too, I lost many unwanted pounds (I am back in the jean size I wore before I had children) that easily came off with this healthy lifestyle.
We have choices about how we will choose to deal with cancer or any illness. Allow yourself the opportunity to learn more rather than putting your trust in your doctors who, as wonderful as they can be, do not have all the answers.Please feel free to email with any questions or comments you may have…..Blessings,Iris
