How I treated my Appendix Cancer – Bing images
H o w ~I ~t r e a t e d ~m y ~A p p e n d i x ~C a n c e r!!!
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long ~
And I was. I was learning to praise Jesus through my pain, my weaknesses, my diagnosis and prognosis. My heart’s desire is that my story will bring praises and glory to the One who loves me so much and was and is holding me so very closely. When I first learned of my cancer, I cried to the Lord, “If you save me, I will tell anyone you want me to just how real you are.” My hope is, that beyond this information of healing cancer, that you will see that we all need a Savior and His name is Jesus Christ. He is our hope.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

God Created Our Bodies To Heal!!!
A couple significant factual statistics I found (Cancer, Step Outside The Box by Ty Bollinger) are these…
…A true cure rate of 90% or more can easily be achieved by cancer patients avoiding orthodox medicine, go with alternative medicine first, and do their homework.
…The true cure rate of orthodox medicine is 3% or less.
So I learned to do my homework. God led me here, and now I had a lot to learn. This was new for me and I was ready. I am not an expert by any means, I’m far from a doctor, but I have found there is … so much information at our fingertips. The key is to research outside of the (cancer) box, and to look at things that are completely contrary to what we have known for so long in treating cancers and many other diseases. There are cures, and they the cures are so much easier on the body and more effective than modern medicine. The resources are endless.
Here are a few things that I have learned….
*1 out of 2 men and one out of 3 women… will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This is a staggering statistic, one that we should all be concerned about. “I knew the rates were high, but I didn’t know they were this high.” Even if you don’t have cancer yet, there are many things you can do to help prevent it from happening to you or your loved ones.
*Maintaining a healthy immune system is the key to staying healthy and fighting cancer and all other degenerative disease. If your immune system is functioning properly, your body has no other choice but to stay healthy. That’s the way God made our bodies. It’s only when the immune system is compromised we succumb to sickness and disease. — See More At: http://www.cancertruth.net/the-immune- sytem-our-first-line-of-defense/#sthash.V6fguIIo.dpuf) We build up our immune system through healthy eating and doing away with stress. Stress is a killer.
*The average person will get cancer several times in their lifetime and not even know it. Their healthy immune systems will kick in and destroy the cancer cells before they take over. When I read this from several different sources, I was amazed! This is why it is so important to work on keeping your immune system healthy, which is done through an organic plant-food based diet, exercise, sun (vitamin D) and rest, and little or no stress. And most importantly, faith!
*Diet matters, and more than we could imagine! The Standard American Diet (SAD) is truly sad and getting off of it can be a lifesaver. It is killing us! I don’t eat processed foods any longer, and I won’t touch refined sugars. It is my weakness, kind of like an alcoholic…one drink will do you in. For me, just a little bit will can lead to more and more, and it is not worth it.
*Cancer survivors whose diet is heavy in sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods are far more likely to have a recurrence of the disease …. than are patients who eat a better balance of plant foods. (National Cancer Institute) Which is why I will always eat a mainly plant-food based diet, and I am completely satisfied! I love how I eat now and I feel great.
*High sugar levels leads to cell proliferation (cancer)…changing diet is one of the easiest strategies that can potentially save a lot of suffering and money. (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos) I grew up eating sugary cereals for breakfast, cookies at lunch, and candy every night after dinner. It is no wonder I have always had a huge sweet tooth! I can now honestly say, “that sugar does not tempt me in the least anymore.” I have found healthy alternatives using pure maple syrup, coconut crystals or dates. I’ll be sure and share my favorite recipes at some point!
*“Chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a second cancer by 100 times.” – Dr. Samuel S. Epstein, Congressional Record, Sept., 9, 1987 This happened to my dad. He was cancer free for 10 years before it came back after having chemotherapy treatments for his initial colon cancer. When it came back, it spread to other organs. Of course, the treatment was more chemotherapy. He never changed his poor diet. He died within a few short months. I knew I could not do this to my children! I thank God for showing me a better way, His way. God created our bodies to heal …. when we feed it with proper nutrition, and for cancer patients, in heavy doses.
*Research suggests that only five percent of cancers are hereditary. That means the non-inherited causes of cancer — the lifestyle choices we make, the foods we eat, and physical activity levels — have a direct impact on our overall cancer risk. (See more at: http://preventcancer.org) Food and lifestyle matter!
I was learning an abundance of information on cancer, and I continue to. And I feel greatly compelled to share what I have learned, hoping it will help even just one person. God had been so very good to me to lead me on this path, and I believe it wouldn’t be right if I kept this to myself!
Let’s face it. Cancer is a scary thing. Nobody wants to be told they have cancer. We usually equate it with death, especially stage 4 cancer. I know I always have. Yes, I do have people in my life who have had chemotherapy and are living healthy productive lives. But there are countless others who are not. Cancer is not something we should take lightly. And my heart breaks and goes out to each and every person I know who is suffering a cancer diagnosis.
Most of us tend to go along with what is familiar, myself included, so for me to go against what I have always known in treating cancer, this was truly an act of God. I am amazed that I went down this road without hesitation. God had clearly directed each and every step. He taught me how to trust Him. I had no doubt that God led me specifically in how to treat my cancer. There is so much to read on the internet, it can be quite overwhelming.
Most people would say, myself included is that before I have learned what I do now know, is that nutrition is much too easy, much to simple, to cure cancer. However, now I know without a doubt that God created our bodies to heal. And we are bombarded with so much in our environment like never before. Our bodies can take a lot, but there is a breaking point. And then illnesses of many different kinds can set in, cancer being one of them.
Chances are you are now intrigued and asking, “What did you do? What was your diet like?” At first I was so afraid to put anything into my mouth because was learning of GMOs and how they are terrible for us, pesticides—was I ingesting them?, and so much more. Then God graciously reminded me that He led me here, and He would continue. Don’t be afraid.
Here are a few of my favorite resources:
The Truth About Cancer series convinced me to not do chemotherapy. You can find many of the episodes on YouTube. I am forever grateful for this work. (However, if you have or are doing chemo, diet still matters and can greatly help you.)
My favorite website for great encouragement and help in finding the correct diet is http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com I adopted his diet plan and was elated to see the many interviews he has on his website of all sorts of cancer survivors who cured their cancers naturally. This is a goldmine of information for cancer patients!
I also came across A World Without Cancer on YouTube which describes how B17 attacks and kills cancer cells. I highly suggest: any cancer patient watch this. Also, we take B17 as prevention for our family members (in much lower doses than what I take). This would become a big part of my cancer — killing arsenol. A wonderful source of information for Vitamin B17 http://www.beatcancerwithb17.blogspot.com. This is Very encouraging.
By the wonderful grace of God, He led me to a little blog about cancer survivors who juiced carrots, and lots of them, to cure their cancers. This is where I decided to juice 5 lbs. of organic carrot juice per day, (and as my skin turned a nice bronze glow!) — http://www.cancerisover.blogspot.com
I have had many people ask me, “What did you specifically eat?” (and I do still eat, just a little more variety now. In the beginning and for a few months, I kept my diet quite basic). Here is what I ate:
Breakfast:
When I wake up I have a tall glass of water with juice from 1/2 lemon. It helps alkalize the body. Juice from 2 1/2 lbs organic carrots, one organic green apple, half a lemon (skin included) and about five celery stalks (I use and Omega Juicer). If I’m still hungry I have 1/2 cup organic oats cooked with chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, coconut oil (healthy fat) and a dash of maple syrup. Or a half a sweet potato.
Snacks:
Apples, berries or veggies, nuts, or a piece of Ezekiel sprouted grain bread with coconut oil (stay away from all dairy)
Lunch:
A large salad…kale, swiss chard, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, bell peppers, sprouts, avocado, walnuts…the more color the better. I make my own dressing with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon, lots of garlic, turmeric (a great cancer fighter), basil, oregano, salt and pepper. This fills me up for a long time.
Dinner:
Another juice and another salad.
My diet is mostly raw foods, mostly vegetables, some fruit. I avoid all processed sugars and processed foods.
My supplements:
B17 — 500mg am, 500mg pm — (http://www.amazon.com/BodyMe-Organic-Capsules-Association-Certified/dp/B00GA3SLOS/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1443472827&sr=1-1&keywords=vitamin+b17+500+mg)
If you can tolerate the taste of the apricot kernels, this is a great source — (http://www.amazon.com/Bitter-Raw-Apricot-Seeds-32oz/dp/B00IITWU58/ref=sr_1_7?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1443472912&sr=1-7&keywords=apricot+kernels) As a precaution, take on a full stomach. They are powerful and can cause headaches and nausea. Start with two per hour and work up to approximately 30 per day.

I am in no way saying this will work for everyone, but it has worked for me. I was in touch with a naturopath who guided me in my supplements and diet. I also added a few supplements by reading what others were taking, a common thread. I could add more if it were in my budget, and I have read where cancer patients take less. One of my favorite testimonies is Ruth Heidrich (look for her story on http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com and be amazed!). She changed her diet to a raw food diet and added only B12.
She was stage 4 breast cancer and it had metastasized into her bones. Forty years later, she is extremely strong and healthy. She is one of many!
The Verdict Is In….
If you remember from my previous blog posts, I had evident cancer on my liver and diaphragm and spots elsewhere in my abdomen. I started my diet in December 2014. I had monthly blood tests, all of which were very good, and in April 2015 I had my first CT scan. My cancer on my diaphragm was gone completely! The liver spot was inconclusive, as from the imaging it looked like it very well could be scar tissue, and all the other spots were gone! My oncologist told me, “Your scan looks good!” And every test since then has been in my favor. I am scheduled to have my next CT scan October 16, and I expect very good results again.
I feel great, I have more energy than I have had in a long time, and I have no doubt that our diet plays a huge roll in healing our bodies. I believe I am eating the way God meant us to eat — whole, healthy non-toxic foods. I don’t miss a thing I used to eat. I thought I ate ‘healthy’ before, but now I am on a whole new level of eating healthy.
Please don’t think that food has become my god. I have heard that said of people who choose to eat healthy and do away with processed sugary foods. I think in America we have eaten so poorly for so long we forget what it is…. to eat truly healthy whole foods. I agree it is very difficult to make this change. For me, however, it is a life and death situation. I am very aware that my cancer could come back. I have read many stories of people who cured their cancer like I have and then they fell back into their old habits, and their cancer returned. This is enough to keep me on track, and I am more than fine with that. It is not a fear-driven choice, but a life-driven choice.
And it is A Good LIFE, Very Good Indeed!!! 🙂
And I personally had to learn to cast all my burdens upon the LORD, for He cares for me. Stress was my main issue. It no longer holds me captive. God now carries all my troubles. He is much more able than me, I praise His Holy Name Jesus Christ My Savior.
I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth.
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
and will trust in the LORD.
Psalm 40:1-3
Amen!
