What I know about Surviving Cancer

Too young to have to face this, but it is my reality. I am only 48, but have had to face cancer personally on 3 occasions already. Health care is so costly and I could not afford Health Insurance, yet I knew my body had been put through a lot and I was heading into trouble if I didn't find out how to change my health. The best for me was to find out what nature had to offer and how to implement that into my life.

The first kind of cancer I had to face was cervical. I was lucky that I had annual exams and it was found and removed quickly. That was when I began to change my diet toward a more vegetable based one and try to eventually move away from the meat and dairy diet I was raised with being a farmer's daughter. My grandfather was the owner of a large dairy in his time and we were naturally byproducts of that lifestyle.

When I was 19 years old, I had a severe sunburn that I was warned could turn into Malignant Melanoma by the Fireman who looked at it. I was at a large Centennial event and exposed to the direct sunlight for more than 8 hours and the firemen were part of the event. He warned me that I needed to keep an eye on one of my blisters and forever to take note of it for changes. Sure enough about 5 years later I noticed a smear on my back. For 23 years I carried it and tried to get doctors to remove it and examine it, but they kept telling me I needed therapy since I was somehow seeking attention. Finally after 23 years, I actually had to beg/FORCE a doctor to scrap it and biopsy it. It came back as Malignant Melanoma just as the fireman had warned me to be cautious of and informed me of the signs that were present. I was lucky as mine was beginning to itch and burn, while many do not.

My faith in doctors, I must admit has reduced over the years. That is exactly why I am so careful in selecting the right doctor for my health now. I do the interviewing before the examining begins these days.

After my mother died of brain tumors and the beginnings of lung cancer, I began my mission to find out even more than what I was already practicing to improve my health. Natural remedies and Alternative Medicines are what I believe in since they are nature, vegetable or food based for the most part.

Some of the most valuable herbs I use regularly are based on scientific theory and research, yet still not recognized by the FDA. There is a whole political structure to the reasoning behind that, which ultimately results in the factor of money.

This is what I know and experienced for myself. After being diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma, without medical coverage, it became imperative that I find a way to rid myself of the cancer and not allow it to spread. After much research and fighting to get to people who knew the secrets to help me, but were too afraid of the FDA, I found Curaderm. There is no support and only a brief video on the product so you must use it according to the brief instructional.

However, it began to reduce the cancer and bring it to the surface. That was when I found my new doctor, whom I trusted greatly, to remove the surface level lesion after a dermatologist removed a mole and freckle and ignored the cancerous lesion even though it was clearly pointed out to him. So I have three scars now, though only one should exist.

Small and shallow was the incision my doctor made, instead of what the first referred surgeon wanted to do. The first doctor whom I had to make do the biopsy, referred me to a surgeon who wanted to remove a 5 inch by 10 inch down to the muscle chuck of tissue from my body. Can you imagine the disfigurement and loss of mobility I would have suffered at my young age?

With finding the new doctor I trusted, I agreed to be examined more fully. I had not had a pap smear examination for a few years due to the fear of not being able to trusting doctors. Much to my sorrow, I was told I had "C" cells present again on my cervix.

They told me to prepare for a biopsy that would require me being awake and feeling the pain. They said to take over-the-counter pain medication and of course I took my homeopathic Arnica Montana 6x, which didn't allow much blood loss. The doctor was amazed that I didn't lose much blood and continued to mutilate me in efforts of gathering more tissue as she didn't feel she was getting enough due to the small amount of bleeding.

They told me they would do the biopsy and call me with the results. The next day they called me and told me the results came back with little to no conclusive results. They said we should recheck in 3-4 months. I guaranteed them that by that time, they would not find any more "C" cells (cancer) as I was going to begin a regimen of Alkaline and other supporting herbs to eradicate the cells from my body.

I begin taking pH Plus to change my acid level to more alkaline, Mega Chlorophyll 100 mg 2x daily to clean my blood, Yucca to help rid free radicals, Artichoke to keep the cholesterol moving, Magnesium to remove organ swelling and Calcium Citrate to build my healthy values of calcium.

I also consciously drank more than 15 8-ounce servings of water per day, while removing all animal products from my diet as best as possible. I juiced with carrots and apples as well to boost my immune system. I took additional Beta Carotene supplements and added Acai Berry to my daily supplements as well.

My state of mind was that I would not have to face more cutting and that I was already cured. Each day I prayed and was thankful for my healing and my good health. I tired to keep my stress levels to a minimum and keep hopeful that I would be found clear.

The exam day came. I was positive and hopeful. My male doctor was the one to examine me this time and he too believed in me and asked what I had been doing to prepare for the exam. I shared with him and he took notes. We did the exam and I left knowing I would be getting the results by phone. Usually they called the next day, but not this time.

I waited for the call, but it didn't come for a couple days this time. That began to make me rethink my efforts. Then it came. The nurse asked how I was doing and I admitted that I was a little scared. She took a deep breath and said, "Your results came back......she paused for a few seconds......negative! There are no signs of cancer cells to report."

Eureka!!! I was ecstatic. The third time to be diagnosed with cancer and now I was told I was truly cancer free for the moment. Well I intend on staying that way!!!

One of the best books to read about the effects of acid on your body is Alakalize or Die, by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody.
