Father-of-two reveals: he was cured  stage 4 cancer after switching  to a VEGAN diet and refusing other treatment

The couple got engaged when Rob was diagnosed: 'I think I had a catheter in... it really wasn't very romantic but we didn't have time for the whole "down on one knee thing", I was weak'

During my standard treatment of a round of chemo and radiation I began to research and implement a plant based diet with a emphasis on maintaining a low pH and low 2 mid range alkaline diet accompanied with a daily regiment of 1-3 coffee enemas.

Step 11: Make yourself comfortable on the floor using a towel.
Laying on your right hip gently insert the tube a inch or so
until the holes at the end are in the rectum.
Step 12: Release the clip to begin flow of coffee. If your body rejects or you begin to
cramp, clip off flow and remain in position until it passes.
Step 13: Intake as much as you can and try to hold for at least 3 minutes, no more than
15 minutes. It will take some practice so be patient.
Step 14: Trust your body. If you get air in your colon lay on your left hip to let gravity
help work it back out.

During and after my standard treatments used to combat colorectal cancer by the health care industry, I began to see and feel immediate results from my vegan diet and holistic practices. Whoever if you are thinking about adopting these practices should research, weigh, and evaluate if this is right for you.
.
I firmly believe my change to a plant based diet void of all meat, dairy, and manufactured products will greatly increase ones chances of maintaining a healthier life, combat many diseases, and in some cases fight and hopefully beat cancer. This worked for me. I still practice this diet to this day.  Amanda, who was always vegetarian, supported Rob as he tried his own vegan detox since he couldn’t afford any alternative treatments. I hope this works for you!!! 🙂

The couple got engaged when Rob was diagnosed: ‘I think I had a catheter in… it really wasn’t very romantic but we didn’t have time for the whole “down on one knee thing”,        I was weak’

  • Rob Mooberry, now 43, was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer         in 2012
  • He’d had a healthy diet and exercised when he was hospitalized with            a perforated colon
  • The Las Vegas bartender underwent surgery, chemo and radiation therapy, and was downgraded to stage 3A
  • But he decided to take a break before his next bout to ‘detox’ with a raw vegan diet similar to Tom Brady’s alkaline diet
  • By the time of his next scan in early 2013, his cancer had reduced 80%
  • He declined further treatment and is now celebrating five years cancer-free 

A father-of-two who was given weeks to live has revealed he beat stage 4 colorectal cancer after switching to a vegan diet.

Rob Mooberry, now 43, told Daily Mail Online he was hospitalized with a perforated colon in July 2012, and scans revealed he had cancer which had spread to his bowels, lymph nodes and liver.

Doctors said the Las Vegas bartender would need a colostomy bag put in, followed by an ileostomy, then two bouts of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

However, after the surgeries and the first round, with his cancer downgraded to stage 3A, he said he couldn’t take it any more and needed some time to detox his body of the chemicals before starting more treatment.

In November 2012, he started a plant-based diet, alkaline diet – akin to that of Tom Brady – with his vegetarian wife Amanda, now 39, following research that showed sugars and processed foods fueled tumors.

When it came to his next scan in early 2013, the cancer had shrunk by almost 80 percent.

  Now he is celebrating five years cancer-free, raising 20-month-old twins, and running a small cancer charity on the side of his bar-tending with wife Amanda, 39 (pictured)

Rob Mooberry, now 43, was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in 2012 in Las Vegas, where he is a bartender.

sufferers afford pipe dreams – and his story has gone viral, after it was tweeted by country star Tim McGraw.

Speaking to Daily Mail Online, Rob admitted he was slightly overwhelmed at being tipped as a vegan advocate. ‘I’m not standing on my soap box saying everyone needs to go plant-based and vegan,’ he insisted. ‘But if you’re going to ask me what worked for me, I’ll tell you: this diet beat my cancer.’

When Rob was diagnosed he was shocked, having no family history of cancer and already living a healthy lifestyle of running and a lean protein diet.

‘I couldn’t believe it,’ he told Daily Mail Online. ‘I was always a healthy person, I didn’t expect it.’

He had been experiencing some symptoms for about a year, such as bloating and blood in his stool and a change in bowel movements, but he assumed it was IBS or something he had eaten, and without health insurance, he had decided to put it off.

It was not until July 2012 that he was hospitalized with searing pain in his abdomen. It turned out to be a micro-perforation of his colon, which meant nothing could pass by his colon.

‘It was very very painful,’ he said. ‘I went into the ER and that’s when I became an in-patient: they found it spread all around.’

Determined to fight the disease, Rob began the grueling regime of operations and chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

‘It was horrible,’ he said. ‘I had to take time off work, I had no energy, I felt sick. That kind of medicine puts so many chemicals in your body.’

At the time, Rob, who had moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles a year before, was in the early stages of a new relationship with his now-wife Amanda, a cocktail waitress who worked at the same bar as his, the Cosmopolitan. They had been together for about nine months.

‘She came into the hospital, the doctor took her to one side and said basically that there was about eight percent chance I would live,’ Rob explained.

‘She was so upset, my family was so upset. The doctors weren’t really telling me all of this but I knew it was serious, I thought I was going to die.

‘But Amanda just stuck with me. She could have left me, but she stayed. That’s when you know love is true.’

The couple got engaged there and then (‘I think I had a catheter in… it really wasn’t very romantic but we didn’t have time for the whole “down on one knee thing”, I was weak’).

Then, two days after his operations, they got married, just before he embarked on chemo and radiation therapy.

From the moment of his diagnosis, he was eating as clean as he could because ‘I just wanted to be as healthy as possible’, which was made easy by the fact that Amanda has always been a vegetarian.

After finishing his first load of treatments in November 2012, he decided to take it a step further and go vegan.

‘At first I wasn’t all raw and vegan, it was just vegetarian,’ he told Daily Mail Online.

‘To be honest, it was easier for us to just cook one meal rather than two, so being plant-based was straight-forward.

‘But when I finished chemo, the oncologists were saying I would need to do more      straight away and I really didn’t want to. I needed to heal. That’s when I knew I needed    to do anything to beat this cancer.  I was really willing. . .to try anything to save my life. That’s when I went hard-core raw, vegan, superfoods.’

It started with Rob looking up some alternative therapies he could try, including                  a treatment center in Tijuana, Mexico, which has been popular among American          colon cancer patients.

However, it costs thousands of dollars in travel and medical fees.

Instead, he researched their detox to see if he could try it at home. It consisted                    of cutting out all acidity and sugars from his diet, including red meat and dairy.

‘I went back in for my CT scan in early 2013, and everything had changed,’ Rob explains. His cancer had shrunk   by 80 percent.  Asked if he wanted to continue with treatments,  he declined. By 2014, there was no trace of it.

Now, Rob and Amanda are new parents to one-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, having undergone IVF (‘because the treatment affects your swimmers a bit’).

He said he hopes other patients do not take this as a blanket endorsement for veganism but rather urges people to educate themselves about all their options, and to consider the healthiness of their lifestyle.

Rob’s story comes amid a surge in the rate of young people being diagnosed with colorectal cancers in the United States, while rates drop in the Mediterranean. Some reports have suggested this could be down to the Western diet, which is rich in processed meats, sugars and saturated fats.
