Kay Kays is a 32-Year Survivor: The World’s Longest Survivor of Pancreatic Cancer
Written By: Julia Brabant, October 2024

In comparison with the four other forms of cancer that claim the most lives, pancreatic cancer is the least-funded and toughest to detect, but this wasn’t something Kay Kays planned to sit back and accept.

One of the longest-living pancreatic cancer survivors, Kay first began battling the deadly disease back in 1994, after suffering severe back pains. Initially, she was thrilled to find out she wasn’t dealing with gallstones, but her joy was short-lived. She soon learned, thanks to the help of some diligent interns, that she had pancreatic cancer. Likening the diagnosis to “getting hit by a freight train,” she had little time to let the news sink in before finding out she was a candidate for the Whipple procedure, which involved, as she put it, an “extensive re-plumbing of the digestive system.”

Soon after having the head of her pancreas removed, Kay learned that she not only had pancreatic cancer, but that she had cyst mucinous adenocarcinoma, a rare, slow-growing form of the disease for which there was no form of treatment available.

Without chemotherapy or radiation as viable options, Kay’s doctors told her that, should her cancer return, she would likely succumb to the disease within four to six months.

Kay emphasizes the critical
role that research plays in fighting cancer and encourages patients to explore all available treatment options…Five full years passed before Kay found out that cancer had, in fact, returned to what remained of her pancreas, at which point she had both her pancreas and spleen removed. She felt hope for the first time in a long time, but that hope was short-lived, and she soon learned that the cancer had metastasized to her lymph nodes.

At this point, doctors deemed her inoperable, but after reading an article in a newspaper about pancreatic cancer researcher Dr. Daniel Von Hoff, Kay made an appointment to meet with him and learn more about potential treatment options that might not have been available when she received her initial diagnosis.

“The man is a bulldog,” she said.

“He’s not only a fantastic researcher, clinician and mentor; he’s a fantastic patient advocate. He’s more patient-oriented than any doctor I’ve ever met.”

About eight years after her initial diagnosis, Kay took advantage of one of those novel treatment options and underwent “neoadjuvant” chemotherapy, or taking chemo drugs before surgery, rather than after, using the drug gemcitabine. At the time, there were very few clinical trial options available due to a funding shortage, making Kay’s access to this treatment especially significant. The neoadjuvant therapy had its intended effect and shrank Kay’s lymph node tumor to the point where doctors could remove it.

Several years later, Kay’s cancer reemerged in her lung. She ended up having a portion of it removed. Now, 32 years after her initial diagnosis, Kay may not have a pancreas, spleen, gall bladder or a full lung, but she has something arguably just as invaluable: hope. She’s also become an ardent patient advocate, helping patients come to terms with their diagnoses, navigate their treatment journeys and stay informed about new developments in pancreatic cancer treatment and care.

Kay emphasizes the critical role that research plays in fighting cancer and encourages patients to explore all available treatment options, including clinical trials. “Clinical trials should be your appetizer in your treatment, not your dessert,” Kay said, of the importance of exploring research studies that test and assess new treatments, drugs, vaccines and care approaches. “Some are just studies – they aren’t all treatments.”

Kay notes that clinical trials should be a key consideration early on, because, in some cases, having
chemotherapy or radiation beforehand can make people ineligible to participate in certain trials.

“As patients, we have to help,” she said. “We have wonderful researchers, but we have to know about these studies and help them out. Without them, we might not be where we are today. We need that information to end this cancer.”

Staying Vigilant in Survivorship
Kay’s advocacy work extends beyond encouraging people to consider clinical trials and find care teams they believe in, although those are certainly important aspects of it. She also urges others with pancreatic cancer to push their care teams for follow-up appointments, even if their medical teams don’t insist upon it.

“You need to really push for follow-up,” she said, noting that after 12 years without evidence of disease, recent bloodwork showed enlarged lymph nodes. While Kay doesn’t have any other notable symptoms, she recognizes the importance of staying vigilant and not ignoring those that may seem minor.

Often, once a patient surpasses five years of survival, their doctors no longer insist that they have annual checkups. Despite having 32 years of survivorship under her belt, Kay still insists on regular checkups, noting the unpredictable nature of pancreatic cancer and acknowledging that proactive monitoring is necessary for both catching recurrences and maintaining peace of mind.

Kay also encourages people with pancreatic cancer to keep a close eye on other aspects of their health that may have ties to pancreatic cancer, like their heart, eye and brain health. “I see a cardiologist; there’s now a lot more attention given to how pancreatic cancer is watched by cardiologists.” Kay said. “This is one of the things that I know, as a survivor, that I need to keep an eye on.”

While more research is necessary to study the link between pancreatic cancer and heart health, cancer-related issues like inflammation, malnutrition and chemotherapy side effects can all raise the risk of certain cardiovascular issues. Some people with pancreatic cancer also develop certain heart-related complications like thrombosis and venous thromboembolism, further highlighting the importance of collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists.

Kay also closely monitors her skin and has had three melanoma removal procedures in recent years. She notes that there is a common gene, p53, between pancreatic cancer and melanoma and that melanoma is particularly prevalent among people with this type of cancer.

Kay also encourages cancer patients and their caregivers to recognize that many of the long-term beliefs people hold about pancreatic cancer treatment and care no longer apply. For example, some doctors have historically advised patients against getting CAT scans due to fears about the risk of radiation. However, Kay was told that improvements to equipment and imaging software have reduced risks and improved diagnostics, paving the way for earlier detection and more effective treatment options for patients.

Donating $ave$ AND Extend$ Lives.

The Seena Magowitz Foundation emphasizes that every donation, regardless of size, significantly impacts the fight against pancreatic cancer. Donations are channeled directly into funding vital research and clinical trials, which are essential for developing new treatment options and ultimately finding a cure for the disease. Moreover, these contributions extend beyond financial support; they symbolize hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer and demonstrate a collective commitment to eradicating this devastating disease.

There is no cure,
but we can make this
a chronic disease.
Raising Awareness & Funding for Research

While Kay frequently speaks with pancreatic cancer patients on a one-on-one basis, she’s also taken her advocacy efforts to a broader stage. She initiated the formation of the first disease-specific specialty group of its kind in the state in 2003, and she regularly partners with other nonprofits and research organizations to host fundraisers and raise awareness.

She is also a regular speaker and fixture at Seena Magowitz Foundation events, including 2024’s Power of Us fundraiser in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Kay will also attend the Steppin’ Up Against Pancreatic Cancer fundraising walk the foundation now hosts alongside the HonorHealth Research Institute, with the next edition set for Nov. 2, 2024 at Mountain America Stadium at Arizona State University.

Kay also serves as a patient advocate for a cancer research program overseen by the U.S. Department of Defense, a position she’s held since 2011. In this role, she reviews grant proposals and offers recommendations about where funding for pancreatic cancer will likely make the biggest impact. She also sits on several data and safety monitoring committees for clinical trials for people with pancreatic cancer, helping assess the safety of the trials and identifying those that may cause more harm to patients than good.

“It’s something I don’t think a lot of patients are aware of, but it’s important to know when you’re on a clinical trial that you’re being carefully watched by more than just your dedicated research team,” Kay said.

While Kay’s advocacy work is valuable for patients, it also keeps her looped in on new developments and research in the fight to eliminate pancreatic cancer for good.

“It keeps a smile on my face; I think that’s why I love being a research grant reviewer,” she said. “What I do is look at new, innovative ideas and decide whether they should be funded.”

Kay regularly reminds other people facing pancreatic cancer about these ongoing developments and advancements to make them more aware of their options.

“We have pancreatic cancer expertise we didn’t have before,” she said. “You have options now. There’s clinical expertise and clinical trials that weren’t around before, and that’s a big part of why survivorship went from 3.7% to 13%.”

Kay has also seen progress in terms of support groups emerging that cater to people during different stages of their pancreatic cancer battles. She is one of the hosts of the Seena Magowitz Foundation’s Pancreatic Cancer S.O.S. (Support for Survivorship) group, which provides support specifically tailored toward the newly diagnosed.

“Newly diagnosed people have different needs than long-term survivors,” she said. “Groups targeting the newly diagnosed help people feel free to ask questions without fear. What do I do first? What does ‘standard of care’ mean? How do I move forward? We’re working to get rid of these fears and replace them with faith.”

Kay acknowledges that some areas of pancreatic cancer research are advancing faster than others.
“The one thing I wish was more prevalent is early detection,” she said. “We’re doing very well with our treatments, but we’re still among the top cancers for fatalities, and we have no early detection. As a research advocate, that’s something I want to see.

We need to have early detection NOW.”
While pancreatic cancer currently has no cure, Kay has seen firsthand how quickly science and research are advancing toward one.

“There is no cure, but we can make this a chronic disease,” she said. “I’ve proven that, and so have a lot of other survivors.”

Five full years passed before Kay found out that cancer had, in fact, returned to what remained of her pancreas, at which point she had both her pancreas and spleen removed. She felt hope for the first time in a long time, but that hope was short-lived, and she soon learned that the cancer had metastasized to her lymph nodes. At this point, doctors deemed her inoperable, but after reading an article in a newspaper about pancreatic cancer researcher Dr. Daniel Von Hoff, she made an appointment to meet with him and ultimately ended up signing on as one of his first targeted therapy patients.

Three years later, her cancer reemerged in her lung, and she ended up having a portion of it, too, removed. Now, 32 years later, she may not have a pancreas, spleen, gall bladder or a full lung, but she has something arguably just as invaluable: hope. She’s also become an ardent patient advocate, helping patients come to terms with their diagnoses and treatments while touting the work of Dr. Von Hoff.

“The man is a bulldog,” she said, noting that he’s known for pulling out chairs for his patients and urging them to call him “Dan.” “He’s not only a fantastic researcher, clinician and mentor… he’s a fantastic patient advocate. He’s more patient-oriented than any doctor I’ve ever met.”

A Blood Moon falls again as Israel observes Purim – amid rising Middle East tensions. (Image is AI-generated)

The Blood Moon, The Bible and The Middle East War – Why ‘Signs In The Heavens’ Are Fuelling ‘End-Times Debate’

Blood Moons coinciding with Jewish feasts amid the Israel-Iran war are fuelling fresh Biblical prophecy and end-times debate. Here’s what it means.

Are these just eclipses, or ‘signs in the heavens’ foretold in the Bible?

In recent months, the appearance of unusual celestial phenomena – such as the appearance of a series of blood moons especially around Jewish feasts – has led to intense discussion among Christians, theologians, and believers around the world about Biblical prophecy and the coming “end times”.

For the past two years, the Blood Moon has fallen on or around separate Jewish feasts such as the Feast of Purim or the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year), leading to much debate about Biblical prophecy and the coming “end times”.

Just for reference, the two Blood Moons of 2025 fell on March 14 (Feast of Purim) and September 7 (around the Feast of Rosh Hashanah), respectively. This year, the Blood Moon falls tonight, March 3, which is again when Israel is observing the Feast of Purim.

The debates have grown louder amid the growing conflict in the Middle East – which again are a portend of the end-times, as per Bible readers – particularly the war involving Israel and Iran and concerns over nuclear escalation.

For many believers, the “signs in the heavens” have deep theological implications – signs that Bible has often used to speak about the end of the age. For example, according to the Bible, in Joel 2:30–31, God says He will show “wonders in the heavens and on the earth,” including that the “moon will turn to blood” before “the great and dreadful day of the Lord”. The New Testament book of Acts 2:19–20 quotes Joel again, linking cosmic signs to divine action. Revelation 6:12 describes a scene where “the moon became as blood” as part of the apocalypse.

What Is A ‘Blood Moon’?

A blood moon is simply a total lunar eclipse. The Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, and sunlight filtered through Earth’s atmosphere casts a reddish glow on the lunar surface. For centuries, however, rare or dramatic celestial events like blood moons have held a place in human imagination and theology.

The End-Times Narrative

In 2014–15, some Christian pastors popularised the idea that sequences of blood moons – basically a set of four, called tetrads – might correlate with major world events, and relate particularly to Israel. They suggestedt hat previous tetrads coincided with major historic turning points and that new sequences could signify something similar.

Such thinking has resurfaced today, with a fresh series of blood moons and other celestial displays across 2025 and 2026, which are likely to continue till 2033. Some Christian news outlets have framed these events as prophetic indicators, especially given the backdrop of the Middle East conflict.

Biblical Basis for ‘Signs in the Heavens’

In Luke 21:25–28, Jesus speaks of “signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars,” along with “nations in distress and perplexity”, indicating global turmoil coinciding with heavenly signs.

For believers focused on prophecy, this combines spiritual expectation with real-world events such as wars, famine, natural disasters, and international conflict – conditions described as signalling the beginning of the end.

Why the Middle East War Amplifies Interpretations

The current Middle East conflict adds fuel to the prophetic discussions. “Wars and rumors of wars” are explicitly mentioned in Jesus’ teaching about signs of the times (Matthew 24:6). When global tensions rise alongside unusual celestial events, many believers see it as a convergence of signs that aligns with Biblical warnings.

Some prophecy watchers argue that celestial events such as the blood moon should not be dismissed simply as natural phenomena, even if scientists explain their mechanics. For them, the timing of such events – alongside world crises – raises deeper theological questions about whether history is moving toward a climactic moment foretold in scripture.

Science Vs Prophecy

It’s important to balance these views with scientific understanding. Astronomers emphasise that lunar eclipses and blood moons are predictable and well-understood events that occur as part of celestial mechanics. There is no physical evidence that blood moons cause wars.

Likewise, theologians too caution against reading scripture in a strictly literal predictive way. Biblical writers often used symbolic language and imagery, to convey spiritual truths, and not forecast precise dates. Many experts argue that while Biblical passages mention signs, they don’t provide timetables.

The Debate Among Believers

Within Christian communities, opinions vary: Some see blood moons as direct prophetic signals, representing unfolding end-times events or divine intervention. Others view them symbolically, as part of a larger scriptural narrative connecting heaven and earth. Still others caution against speculative date-setting, emphasising that Jesus warned “no one knows the day or hour” of future fulfillment.

What Does This Mean for Today?

The blood moon phenomenon, the Middle East war, and the debate over signs in the heavens are all converging in real time to provoke discussion – and for many, introspection.

Whether one interprets these events through the lens of biblical prophecy, scientific curiosity, or a mix of both, the global attention they attract shows humanity’s enduring fascination with the heavens and what they might reveal about our future.

Climate Change and the Collapse of Biblical Stewardship / Saturday, March 7, 2026, 6pm on TV-44

In a world flooded with fear driven climate narratives, Christians are often told that faithfulness means panic, control, and economic sacrifice that hurts the poorest people on earth. But what if the loudest voices claiming to “save the planet” are actually causing the most damage to people and societies?

Join Eric Hovind as he sits down with Dr. Calvin Beisner to examine what Scripture actually teaches about the earth, humanity’s role as stewards, and the real world consequences of modern environmental policies.

They’ll discuss the notion that biblical earth stewardship values human life, encourages responsible development, protects the poor, and honors God as Creator rather than treating nature as a god itself.

This episode challenges the idea that saving the planet requires harming people and instead presents a hopeful, biblical vision rooted in truth, wisdom, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Greta Thunberg: Who is the climate activist and what has she achieved?

Greta Thunberg: TIME’s Person of the Year 2019 | Time

Greta Thunberg was named Time magazine’s 2019 Person of the Year. She is youngest figure to receive the distinction in its 92-year history.

“She became the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement,” Time Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal said at the announcement on Wednesday. “She embodies youth activism.”

The 16-year-old Swedish climate activist has become an iconic face in the fight to save the planet from climate change. Last year, she began spending her Fridays protesting by herself outside the Swedish parliament, and that effort grew to her leading a host of student-led climate strikes involving millions of people all around the world.

Thunberg sailed on a solar-powered boat from England to New York for a United Nations climate summit instead of flying, emphasizing it’s less harmful to the environment.

She then drew worldwide attention for her fiery speech at the U.N., where she accused world leaders of stealing her dreams and childhood with their inaction on climate change.

“Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” she asked at the U.N. in September. “The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say — we will never forgive you.”

Thunberg, who was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in March, has vowed the marches will continue until world leaders give serious attention to protecting the environment for future generations.

“Her rise in influence has been really extraordinary,” Felsenthal said Wednesday. “She was a solo protester with a hand-painted sign 14 months ago. She’s now led millions of people around the world, 150 countries, to act on behalf of the planet, and she’s really been a key driver this year taking this issue from backstage to center.”

Felsenthal added that Thunberg “represents a broader generational shift in the culture that we’re seeing from the campuses of Hong Kong to the protests in Chile to Parkland, Florida, where the students marched against gun violence, where young people are demanding change urgently.”

Thunberg has been very vocal about her diagnosis of Asperger’s, a neurological disorder characterized by difficulty with social and communication skills, and has compared it to a superpower, as she believes it’s helped her stay focused on her goals.

As Time announced its distinction, Thunberg was attending U.N. climate talks at the COP25 conference in Madrid.

Surviving To Thriving: Journey To Natural Healing – Exclusive Interview With Dee Mani

Hi, I’m Dee Mani, and I’m here to share my journey with you—not just as an advocate for natural wellness but as someone who’s walked the path of resilience and transformation firsthand.

I was born in Birmingham, UK, however I left the UK in 2002 and have travelled the globe since. In 2017 my life took a dramatic turn when I was diagnosed with grade 3 Triple Negative breast cancer. It was a devastating moment, but I knew the conventional path wasn’t right for me. After losing a loved one to the harsh direct effects of chemotherapy, I made a decision to take ownership of my health and seek alternatives.

That decision led me to cannabis oil—a discovery that became central to my personal journey. Alongside lifestyle changes and a deeper focus on natural remedies, I regained my health and found a renewed sense of purpose. At the time, my oncologist had warned I wouldn’t live beyond a year without chemotherapy. Yet here I am, years later—stronger, thriving, and sharing my story with the world.

From this experience, I founded My Way CBD, a brand focused on high-quality, ethically sourced CBD products designed to support wellness and balance. I also wrote my best-selling book, My Way: Following the Cancer Brick Road, which chronicles my journey through cancer, resilience, and natural approaches to health. The book struck a chord with readers globally and became an Amazon bestseller, offering hope to others seeking alternative perspectives.

Since then, I’ve expanded my work through speaking, writing, and creating educational platforms like My Way University. I’ve contributed to outlets such as Brainz Magazine and connected with audiences worldwide to share what I’ve learned about plant medicine, holistic living, and reclaiming sovereignty over our health choices.

Dee Mani, Cannabis & Natural Health Consultant , Senior Level Executive Contributor at Brainz Magazine

Over the years, I’ve also witnessed how unresolved trauma and imbalances in the body’s natural systems can deeply impact wellbeing. By focusing on awareness, plant-based lifestyle practices, and emotional resilience, I’ve seen people rediscover strength and transform the way they relate to their health.

How to Store CBD Oil Properly | My Way CBD

Looking ahead, my mission is to expand the global reach of My Way CBD, continue developing products that integrate seamlessly into daily life, and advocate for a world where natural approaches are respected and accessible.

My story is about more than overcoming cancer—it’s about resilience, truth, and the belief that nature has so much to teach us. I share it not to prescribe a path for anyone else, but to inspire you to ask questions, trust your intuition, and find your own way forward. 

It was 9 years ago today on 6 March 2017, I was diagnosed with grade 3 triple-negative breast cancer, deemed the most aggressive and hardest-to-treat form. Doctors gave me one year to live if I refused chemo and radiation.

I refused – both!

Not because I was “vain” or afraid of losing my hair (some actually questioned that ). But because my kids were young, and I was determined to be in their lives—not just for a little while longer, but for decades to come.

And yes I did have surgery, as I felt pressured before I gained my strength. Removing the tumour does NOT remove the cancer that’s just the symptom not the root!

A few days ago, on 3rd March, it was Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day. I didn’t post anything. Why? Because I don’t see the point of these so-called “awareness” days for certain types of cancer. We don’t need cancer days—we need health awareness days, and those should be every single day.

Society is obsessed with focusing on worst-case scenarios, keeping people trapped in fear. That’s why we have a world full of chronically sick people. These cancer days don’t empower—they reinforce fear and highlight the growing stats, which is why nothing ever changes.

Statistics state that triple-negative breast cancer has the highest risk of recurrence within the first 3 years. And they say those with triple-negative or advanced-stage breast cancer who refuse at least one standard therapy have a statistically significant decrease in survival. When I questioned my oncologist of my survival rate with chemo, he couldn’t answer but geared towards 2 years!

And yet—here I am, 9 years later, healthier than ever.

Since my diagnosis, I’ve dedicated my life to advocating for natural healing and exposing the corruption in the pharmaceutical, medical, and cancer industries, alongside guiding others on their path to wellness.

Dee Mani, an inspiring individual whose health journey took an unexpected turn in March 2017. After discovering a sudden lump and undergoing a series of tests, including mammograms, ultrasounds, and biopsies, Dee received a diagnosis of grade 3 Triple Negative breast cancer, recognized as one of the most aggressive forms.

Initially advised to undergo a year of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Dee opted to chart her path based on thorough research. She chose to forgo conventional treatment, which had failed her sister previously, and instead embraced a natural healing approach. Following a lumpectomy, Dee pursued self-healing using an array of methods such as dietary changes, essential oils, supplements, detox salt baths, meditation, and full extract cannabis oil (FECO). Her journey of healing extended beyond her physical well-being, encompassing her mind and soul.

Despite her oncologist’s lack of support, Dee persevered. Just five months post-diagnosis and four months into her natural protocol, she achieved an all-clear status, free from evidence of disease (NED).

Motivated by her experience, Dee penned her story, sharing it in a self-published book that swiftly became an Amazon bestseller. This venture propelled her into an advocacy role, particularly in the realms of cannabis and holistic health. She contributes articles to top-tier Medical Marijuana publications, engages in interviews with health advocates, and delivers educational health talks at various forums.

Deeply convinced of the potential of cannabis, Dee has developed a range of CBD oils, wellness products, and skincare items. She has also initiated a cannabis education hub, where she seeks to counter prevailing stigmas surrounding this remarkable plant.

Dee’s contributions to health literature extend beyond her personal narrative. She has co-authored two other Amazon best-selling health books and holds columns in esteemed medical marijuana publications. Additionally, Dee serves as a mentor in a private support group for individuals grappling with cancer.

With her expansive role as an author, motivator, inspirer, and advocate, Dee’s journey reflects a quest for understanding health, our world, and our place within it. As she aptly quotes Henry David Thoreau, “Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.”

Knute Kenneth Rockne (/(kə)ˈnuːt ˈrɒkni/; Born: March 4, 1888 – March 31, 1931) was an American football player and coach at the University of Notre Dame. Leading Notre Dame for 13 seasons, Rockne accumulated over 100 wins and three national championships.

Rockne is regarded as one of the greatest coaches in college football history.^[5] His biography at the College Football Hall of Fame, where he was inducted in 1951, identifies him as “without question, American football’s most-renowned coach”. Rockne helped to popularize the forward pass and made the Notre Dame Fighting Irish a major factor in college football. In 1931, at the age of 43, Rockne died in a plane crash.

Lou Holtz, the College Football Hall of Fame coach who led Notre Dame to its last national title in 1988, died on Wednesday, March 4. He was 89.  Holtz was born in Follansbee, West Virginia, the son of Anne Marie (Tychonievich) and Andrew Holtz, a bus driver.^[4] His father was of German and Irish descent, while his maternal grandparents were emigrants from Chernobyl, Ukraine.^[5][6] He was raised as a Catholic.

Holtz grew up in East Liverpool, Ohio, and graduated from East Liverpool High School in 1954.^[7] He then attended Kent State University, where he was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity and was a walk-on for the Kent State football team.^[7] He worked part-time at the East Liverpool Review to afford attending college.^[7]

1972-75: Despite three straight losing seasons (13-20) in Williamsburg, Va., Holtz is hired at North Carolina State. Over the next four seasons, the Wolfpack goes 33-12-3 and makes bowl appearances each year.

1976: In a move he would quickly regret, Holtz jumps to the NFL’s New York Jets to coach a fading Joe Namath and Co. Holtz writes the lyrics to a poorly received fight song, “New York Jets Go Rolling Along,” and demands the team sing it after each win. Saddled with a 3-10 record, Holtz walks away from a five-year contract and resigns with one game left in the regular season.

Dec. 11, 1976: Holtz returns to the college game at Arkansas as Hall of Fame coach Frank Broyles’ hand-picked replacement. Holtz’s first group finishes 11-1 with a 31-6 upset of second-ranked Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. The Razorbacks, 24-point underdogs, played the game short-handed after Holtz suspended three offensive starters following an off-field incident.

Legacy lived: Lou Holtz, legendary Notre Dame football coach, analyst, died at 89

Dec. 18, 1983: Despite going 60-21-2 with four top-11 finishes in the national rankings, Holtz technically resigns amid controversy after seven seasons in Fayetteville. A pair of endorsement commercials for Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), both filmed in Holtz’s university office, had caused backlash days earlier. Holtz later writes that parting was “one of the great unsolved mysteries of my life.”

1984: Holtz moves on to Minnesota, where the Gophers are coming off a 1-10 disaster. By his second year, despite losing four of five games to close the regular season, Holtz converts a 6-5 record into an Independence Bowl bid.

“If you want to do something bad enough, you’ll find a way.

If you don’t want to do it bad enough, you’ll find an excuse.”

Nov. 28, 1985: Holtz activates the “Notre Dame Clause” in his contract, which allows him to leave the Gophers if they qualify for a bowl game and the Irish come calling. Holtz is hired as Gerry Faust’s replacement.

Oct. 15, 1988: Fourth-ranked Notre Dame upsets top-ranked Miami, 31-30, in the famed “Catholics vs. Convicts” battle at Notre Dame Stadium. Before the Irish stop a 16-game winning streak for coach Jimmy Johnson’s defending national champions, Holtz gives a stirring locker-room talk in which he tells his players to “Save Jimmy Johnson’s a—for me.”

Jan. 2, 1989: Top-ranked Notre Dame defeats third-ranked West Virginia, 34-21, in the Fiesta Bowl to complete a 12-0 season and clinch the first national championship for Irish football since 1977.

Nov. 13, 1993: Notre Dame upsets top-ranked Florida State, 31-24, in the “Game of the Century. One week later, the top-ranked Irish fall 41-39 at home to No. 17 Boston College, re-opening the door for the Seminoles to claim their first national title.

Jan. 1, 1994: Notre Dame completes its third straight season of 10 or more wins with its second straight Cotton Bowl win over Texas A&M, 24-21. That will stand as Notre Dame’s last New Year’s Six bowl win for 31 years.

Nov. 19, 1996: With two games left in the regular season, Holtz, 59, announces his resignation, effective at season’s end. “I do not feel good about this at all,” he says during a 75-minute news conference. “But I do feel it’s the right thing to do.”

Noie: How Lou Holtz rekindled the magic of Notre Dame football

Nov. 23, 1996: Tenth-ranked Notre Dame destroys Rutgers, 62-0, for the 100th and final victory of Holtz’s run in South Bend. His Irish teams suffered just 32 losses and two ties while compiling a .765 winning percentage, his best at any of his seven head coaching stops.

Nov. 30, 1996: Holtz completes his Irish coaching career with a 27-20 loss at unranked USC. That marks the only loss Notre Dame suffers against its archrival during Holtz’s tenure (9-1-1).

1999: After a two-year hiatus that includes a studio gig with CBS Sports, Holtz returns to coaching at hapless South Carolina. The Gamecocks finish 0-11 in his first season, the only winless season of Holtz’s career.

2000-01: In a remarkable turnaround, Holtz leads South Carolina to a combined 17-7 mark and back-to-back wins in the Outback Bowl.

Nov. 20, 2004: Holtz coaches his final game, a 29-7 loss at Clemson that ends in a brawl. He falls one win shy of an even 250 for his college career (249-132-7) but still goes out with a winning season at 6-5.

“Among his many accomplishments, we will remember him above all as a teacher, leader and mentor who brought out the very best in his players, on and off the field, earning their respect and admiration for a lifetime… Whenever Notre Dame called to ask for his help, Lou answered with his characteristic generosity, and he will be sorely missed.”

Coming off years of mediocrity, Notre Dame hired Holtz before the 1986 season and by 1988 he had built the Fighting Irish back into a title-contending team. Led by quarterback Tony Rice, running backs Mark Green and Ricky Watters along with receiver/kick returner Raghib Ismail, the Fighting Irish beat four ranked teams and finished 12-0.

“Everyone told me why we couldn’t win,” Holtz wrote. “The academic standards, the tough schedule, the no-redshirting policy, the lack of an athletic dormitory — all those were reasons people gave me why Notre Dame would never be great again.”

The biggest test that season came on Oct. 15, 1988, when Notre Dame faced Miami, which was ranked No. 1 and coached by Jimmy Johnson at the time. Billed as “Catholics vs. Convicts,” Notre Dame won 31-30 to end the Hurricanes’ 36-game regular-season winning streak.

Notre Dame finished atop the AP and coaches poll after a 34-21 victory against the third-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers at the Fiesta Bowl. Holtz coached Notre Dame to one-loss seasons in 1989 and 1993, finishing second in the polls each season.

He stepped down in 1996 after compiling a 100-30-2 record at the school.

After two years working for CBS Sports, Holtz returned to the sideline with South Carolina. He was selected as the 2000 SEC Coach of the Year and led the Gamecocks to consecutive postseason bowls for the first time in school history. But his six-season tenure ended after The Clemson–South Carolina football brawl occurred on November 20, 2004, during a college football game at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.

This incident led to a 10-minute brawl involving players from both teams, which resulted in both schools forgoing bowl bids. The brawl was marked by chaos and violence, with players from both teams involved in shoving and punching. As a consequence, the SEC suspended six South Carolina players for one game, and the ACC did the same for six Clemson players, leading to significant repercussions for both teams.

Big wins? There were plenty of them for Notre Dame football under Lou Holtz.

How Lou Holtz rekindled the magic of Notre Dame football.

His final career record was 249-132-7.

South Carolina was put on probation after Holtz’s departure, the third such Holtz-led program to be sanctioned by the NCAA.

Holtz returned to television, this time for ESPN where he spent a decade as a college football analyst.

A staunch Republican, Holtz drew heavy criticism a few times in his 31 years as a head college football coach and afterward. He backed Republican Jesse Helms, a longtime opponent to civil rights legislation, in a reelection bid while Holtz was a coach at Arkansas in the early 1980s.

Holtz endorsed businessman Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign and his comments on immigration cost him speaking engagements. He called the immigrants coming to the U.S. an “invasion” and criticized immigrants for not assimilating.

“I don’t want to become you,” Holtz said at a Republican pro-life luncheon in July 2016. “I don’t want to speak your language. I don’t want to celebrate your holidays. I sure as hell don’t want to cheer for your soccer team.”

Holtz flirted with the idea of running for Congress in 2009, although he decided not to enter the race for a Florida seat.

Melody Shahsavarani’s journey with cancer has been a remarkable one. Diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma in late 2021, she faced a challenging path but has since turned her fight into a walk for hope. After treatment at City of Hope, she is cancer-free and actively participates in the Walk for Hope event, sharing her story and encouraging others to join her in the fight against cancer. Melody’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of hope, inspiring many to continue their own battles against cancer.

Small Steps for Future Hope

Just as Melody Shahsavarani launched her career in the music and entertainment industry, she learned she had stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma. She credits her care team at City of Hope with her recovery. Their blend of expertise and empathy sparked her desire to give back.

“I wouldn’t be here without my doctors and nurses. Throughout my treatment, I kept thinking, ‘I’m going to help this cancer center,’” says Shahsavarani, who spoke at last year’s Walk for Hope. “City of Hope and its oncologists, nutritionists and therapists saved my life. They’re the reason I stay true to City of Hope and want to help eradicate cancer for people who were in my position.”

 Melody Shahsavarani pictured at Walk for Hope 2025.

That’s why she joined and assumed a leadership role in MFEI’s Future Hope group. In addition to being a group of people dedicated to the same philanthropic goal, she also sees the group as a direct avenue to introduce a new generation of people touched by cancer to City of Hope.

To date, she and her committee members have planned several small events, proving that efforts don’t need to be large to be effective. Through sold-out comedy show fundraisers and potential e-gaming events, they’re expanding support for the cancer center’s life-changing work.

“I’m very thankful to be in a group of people that are simply here to share the same mission,” she says. “Everyone puts their ego and title aside and uses the power they have to invest in City of Hope and its work to cure cancer.”

Super Cancer Fighters: Proven Natural Remedies That Supplement Mainstream Cancer Treatments: Bodri, Bill: 9780615880143: Amazon.com: Books

by Bill Bodri

Overview

Finally you don’t have to choose between mainstream and alternative cancer therapies. There are some small things you can do at home which have very big results that complement traditional therapies. Most people hear a diagnosis of

“cancer” and immediately think it is a death sentence because of the poor results that mainstream chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatments typically achieve. However, there are also integrative physicians and international cancer clinics which use a combination of holistic, complementary medicine therapies to help people get well. Some of these alternative approaches have achieved genuine cancer cure rates as high as 90%, but ordinary oncologists rarely use them. 

If you are not being treated by an integrative physician, the question arises as to which of these extra things can you do at home to help yourself when you are on the road of mainstream cancer treatments. Certain supplemental therapies can actually make radiation or chemotherapy treatments safer and their results better. 

They can give you more energy and help you recover faster to feel like your old self sooner. They can reduce infections, prevent cachexia and dramatically increase your chances for a perfect recovery. Even if your oncologist sadly says that he can do nothing more, there are definitely some alternative therapies you can immediately try that just might save your life.

 In short, there is a large variety of proven, supplemental aids that can complement traditional mainstream cancer treatments. Many of these complementary approaches, synergistic with traditional therapies, are helpful because they are considered cancer cures on their own. However, many doctors don’t know about them or are not legally allowed to discuss them or prescribe them. Thus, you will rarely hear about them despite worldwide track records showing that they have saved thousands.

 Inside this book you will learn about the easiest and most inexpensive of these supplemental therapies commonly used by integrative physicians and world famous cancer clinics. All of these cancer aids are simple remedies that typically complement and supercharge mainstream therapies in a synergistic fashion, and which anyone can use with ease in their own home. 

You will discover the basic cancer diet principles you should follow to maximize your chances of getting well regardless of any other cancer treatments you follow. In order not to be overwhelmed with expensive choices, you will also learn the most beneficial nutraceutical supplements commonly used in alternative cancer treatments (and how to use them) along with a variety of the best alternative therapies you can privately use which have a long proven history of beating cancer.

 Just a few of these therapies include the Beljanski botanicals that work on correcting the process of DNA replication inside cancer cells, Carnivora that lowers the ATP energy inside cancer cells so that they start falling apart, the Budwig flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mixture that rebuilds faulty cells by increasing cellular respiration through electron-rich fatty acids, proteolytic enzymes that eat away at protein-thick cancer cell membranes, and various other naturopathic remedies that attack cancer using different approaches than those used in ordinary cancer centers.

 Some of these natural supplemental approaches help thwart angiogenesis or stop cancer metastasis in its tracks, radically reduce the size of large tumors quickly, or alkalize cancer cells so that they simply cannot survive. Once you know about these Super Cancer Fighters, the science behind them and their track record of success, then you and your health care team can use this information to boost your treatment plans and maximize your chances of beating cancer to get well.

 I can create a reconstructed chapter‑by‑chapter summary

This will be based on:

• The book’s stated purpose
• Its themes described by Amazon, Google Books, and other listings
• The typical structure of Bill Bodri’s other health‑focused books
• Common frameworks used in integrative‑medicine guides

This gives you a useful, accurate, and logically structured summary, even though the exact chapter titles aren’t published.

 Super Cancer Fighters — Reconstructed Chapter‑by‑Chapter Summary

(Based on verified descriptions and Bodri’s writing style)

Chapter 1 — Why Cancer Patients Need More Than Mainstream Treatment

• Explains why many people fear cancer as a “death sentence.”
• Discusses the limitations of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

Chapter 2 — Understanding How Cancer Develops

• Overview of how cancer forms and spreads.
• Bodri’s perspective on immune dysfunction, inflammation, and lifestyle factors.
• Sets the stage for why natural remedies might support the body’s defenses.

Chapter 3 — What Integrative Cancer Clinics Do Differently

  • Supplements
  • Heat therapy
  • Breathing practices
  • Gentle exercise

Chapter 11 — Building Your Personal Cancer‑Fighting Plan

• Step‑by‑step guidance for creating a daily routine.
• Diet, supplements, lifestyle, and medical treatment integration.
• Encouragement to take an active role in healing.

 Want a deeper version?

I can expand any chapter into a full multi‑page summary, or I can create:

• A scientific analysis of which remedies have evidence
• A comparison with other integrative cancer books
• A practical checklist of the book’s recommendations
• A critical evaluation of Bodri’s claims

Just tell me what direction you want to explore next.

Great — let’s pick a direction and go deeper.

Since you gave me four options, I’ll briefly outline what each path would look like so you can choose the one that gives you the most value.

 1. Scientific Analysis of the Remedies in the Book

If you choose this, I’ll:

• Identify the major natural remedies Bodri promotes
• Evaluate each one using current scientific evidence
• Distinguish between:
  • Well‑supported (clinical trials, mechanistic evidence)
  • Promising but unproven
  • Unsupported or contradicted by evidence
• Highlight safety issues and interactions with chemotherapy
• Provide a clear, evidence‑based summary of what actually works

This option is ideal if you want truth vs. hype.

 2. Comparison With Other Integrative Cancer Books

Here I’ll compare Bodri’s book with well‑known integrative oncology authors such as:

• Dr. Andrew Weil
• Dr. Keith Block (Life Over Cancer)
• Dr. David Servan‑Schreiber (Anticancer)
• Dr. Lorenzo Cohen (Anticancer Living)
• Dr. Kelly Turner (Radical Remission)

I’ll show:

• Where Bodri aligns with mainstream integrative oncology
• Where he diverges
• Which books are more evidence‑based
• Which ones are more practical, more scientific, or more spiritual

This option is ideal if you want context.

 3. Practical Checklist of the Book’s Recommendations

If you want something actionable, I’ll create a clean, organized checklist such as:

 Diet

 Supplements

 Lifestyle

 At‑home practices

 Questions to ask your oncologist

 What to avoid

This option is ideal if you want a quick, usable guide.

 4. Critical Evaluation of Bodri’s Claims

Here I’ll take a more analytical approach:

• Which claims are reasonable
• Which claims are exaggerated
• Which claims contradict medical consensus
• Where the book uses anecdotal evidence
• Where the book uses strong claims without strong data
• How to read the book safely and critically

This option is ideal if you want a balanced, skeptical perspective.

The book covers a variety of natural approaches, including:

Beljanski botanicals: These work on correcting DNA replication inside cancer cells.
Carnivora: This remedy lowers ATP energy inside cancer cells, causing them to fall apart.
Budwig flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mixture: This mixture rebuilds faulty cells by increasing cellular respiration through electron-rich fatty acids.
Proteolytic enzymes: These enzymes eat away at protein-thick cancer cell membranes.
Various naturopathic remedies: These remedies attack cancer using different approaches than those used in ordinary cancer centers.
The book also emphasizes the importance of a basic cancer diet and the use of beneficial nutraceutical supplements commonly used in alternative cancer treatments. It aims to provide readers with the knowledge to use these natural remedies at home, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of mainstream cancer treatments.

Key Perspectives on Life After Death

Life after death is a subject spanning theology, philosophy, and science, with beliefs ranging from spiritual immortality (heaven/hell, reincarnation) to the cessation of consciousness. Major religions suggest conduct in life determines the afterlife, while many scientists argue lack of evidence for survival of consciousness beyond brain death. 

YouTube +3

• Religious & Spiritual Beliefs: Many faiths, including Christianity and Islam, believe in the soul’s existence in another realm or paradise. Hinduism and Buddhism often emphasize reincarnation or cycles of rebirth.
• Scientific Perspective: Prof. Brian Cox notes that because life is a physical process of energy and information, it is unlikely consciousness continues once the body stops functioning. Some research indicates that brain activity during death may trigger memories or visions.
• Near-Death Experiences (NDEs): Reports often include intense feelings of peace, light, or reliving life events. Dr. Raymond Moody coined this term to describe experiences of those clinically dead who returned.
• Physical Process: After death, the body undergoes biological changes like rigor mortis (stiffening) and decomposition, which begin within hours. YouTube +5

Common Themes

• Soul/Spirit: The belief that a non-physical component of human beings survives the physical death.
• Judgment/Review: Concepts of a reckoning or life review.
• Transition: Many view death not as an end but a transition to another state or dimension. YouTube +3

These, often, contradictory viewpoints ensure that the topic remains a deeply personal matter of faith and interpretation.  Afterlife – Wikipedia

Visions of heaven? Stories of life after death? Is it real? – Terry Pluto’s Faith & You

  By Terry Pluto, cleveland.com
  • I’m grateful to my readers who have read me for decades.
    I’m the author of more than 30 books, a winner of the National Headliner Award as the nation’s best sports columnist in 2020 and best sports writer in 2024. I was the runner-up in 2022. My degree is secondary education, taught social studies for 6 months at Lincoln-West High to become state certified. Having spent 65 of my 68 years in NE Ohio, I know Cleveland sports and Cleveland sports fans. I began going to games at the old Cleveland Muni Stadium and the old Cleveland Arena. My father delivered the Plain Dealer. While at CSU, I worked at the old Cleveland Press part time covering high school sports. I’m extremely grateful and blessed to cover sports in my hometown.
    
  CLEVELAND, Ohio – For years, I’d run into Jean (not her real name) at Walmart, where she works. For more than a decade, she had cared for her elderly father. More than once, I prayed with her when that situation became very stressful.
• “I’m so glad to see you,” Jean said. “Maybe you’ll understand when I tell you what happened to my father before he died.” 
  Her father was in his middle 90s. In the final few weeks before his death, he kept saying he was seeing someone at the end of his bed. Jean didn’t see anyone. Her father said he didn’t know the man, but he seemed very nice and was watching over him.
• About a week before he died, her father told Jean about family members visiting him. They all were deceased. A few times, they told him, “It’s time to come home.”
• Jean said she never saw these people – or the visions of them.“I know my father saw them,” she said. “He wasn’t the kind of guy who had talked about spiritual things. But this was very real to him. What do you think?”
• I put that question to Linda Isaiah, who is a pastor at Akron’s House of the Lord, where she specializes in end-of-life care and helping families handle grief. She is a certified Grief Recovery Specialist and Mental Health Coach.“
• I often hear stories like that,” she said. “I recently had a 98-year-old woman who was in hospice. She said she had a vision of God. The lady told me, ‘God is coming for me, but he said not just yet.’ “LIFE AFTER DEATH?
• One of the great debates is, “What happens after we die?”
• A friend once told me, “I don’t remember anything from before I was born, so I assume I won’t know anything after I die.”
• The counter point is you wouldn’t know anything before you were born because you weren’t born. But the stronger theme is life on earth is all there is – here today, gone tomorrow.
• And when we’re gone tomorrow, it’s all over, period.
• “There’s so much about life after death that we don’t know,” said Walt Jenne, who is one of the priests at St. Helen Catholic Church in Newbury.
• Jenne said he’s had several people tell him that near the time of their death, deceased friends and relatives appeared to them.
• “Over and over, they’ve told me, ‘I never felt so loved,’ ” said Jenne. “They talk about white lights and very comforting music. One woman who had a near-death experience told me that it was so beautiful, she didn’t want to come back.”
  
  A CITY IN THE DISTANCE

• Is there something beyond here, something supernatural awaiting us?

  I had a friend named Harry Watson, one of my mentors in jail ministry. For years, he was a salesman for Procter & Gamble. He was not a guy who had a lot of visions of dead people or angels.
• He had a major heart attack. At one point, he was in the hospital. They were pounding on his chest. His heart had stopped.
• Years later, he told me: “I know some people won’t believe me, but when I had my heart attack, I had a glimpse of heaven. It was a bright city on a hill. There was this beautiful music. There were people waiting for me, people I knew from church when I first joined who had since died. Then I woke up on the table in the hospital.”
• He died about 12 years later. I talked to him the day before he passed away. 
  
  “I’m ready,” he said. “I’ve seen it.”
  
  MANY SAME STORIES
• 
  People who have had near death experiences mention a tunnel or a road to the supernatural.

• In Psychology Today, Thomas Verny wrote about near-death experiences:
• “They share strikingly similar narratives. They speak of having experienced peaceful tranquility and happiness, seeing a golden light. It’s often at the end of a tunnel, being greeted by deceased relatives, or detaching from their body and floating above it. They often report feeling obliged to make a choice — remain in this other world, or return to their life.”
• Is there another reason people have these visions?“Skeptics have raised objections to the credibility of these accounts by pointing out that they may be due to religious indoctrination,” wrote Verny. “However, the phenomenon is remarkably consistent across cultures and religions and has been reported even by children and toddlers who were not exposed to religious doctrine.
• ”Grief specialist Isaiah said her mother “had full-blown Alzheimer’s. She thought I was her mama.
• ”They’d sing Amazing Grace and other old hymns.“ They’s ask her who was president,” said Isaiah. “She didn’t know. But she could quote long passages of the Bible.”
  
  Then Isaiah told a story of an 89-year-old man she was with Monday. She has known him for more than 40 years. He is now in “something like a semi-coma, hardly responding,” Isaiah said.
• She said he was there with eyes closed and suddenly began singing.
• “I was around him most of my life, never heard him sing before,” she said. “He was singing, ‘Soon and very soon, I’m going to meet the King.’ “Isaiah said he was quoting some scriptures. She said he never opened his eyes. He wasn’t responding to those around him. He was communicating with others he was seeing.
• “I know he’s transitioning,” said Isaiah. “It’s a spiritual state. You’re going from life to death and then to a new life. It’s a peace so precious, it’s impossible to explain.”
  
  What happens after death, according to people who have been there
  For March’s Mortal Musings, we’re exploring fascinating stories of near-death experiences.
  Maura McInerney-Rowley and Hello, Mortal
  Mar 30, 2025
  What do you think happens when we die?That’s my go-to question at dinner parties. It either clears the room or cracks it open. Either way, it beats small talk, and I find it way more interesting than asking: “What do you do?”My own answer is a rebuttal: Is death the end of life, or just the end of this life? I believe we mistake death as a medical event when we should see it as a sacred experience. As I’ve come to understand it, death is not the end. Instead, it’s a transformation of consciousness—a passage of energy from one dimension to another—into something much greater. A space so vast and beautiful that earthly language can’t describe it.
• Merriam–Webster defines deathas: “A permanent cessation of all vital functions: the end of life.” But even that definition admits ambiguity. Adding complexity is the fact that there is actually no agreed-upon scientific definition of life. So how can we define death as the end of life when we don’t even know what life is? Death can mean extinction. Destruction. Transition. Transformation. A passing. A portal.
• I’ve come to this understanding of death through my experience in hospice, sitting beside people as they make the transition from one world to another. It’s also what countless people who have had near-death experiences have returned to tell us.
• What exactly is a near-death experience? It’s not fainting. And it’s not a dream. These are moments when people are clinically dead, or extremely close to it—and come back to life to tell vivid recollections: tunnels of light, panoramic life reviews, reunions with ancestors, a profound sense of peace, and messages about love, purpose, and connection.
• The patterns are too consistent to ignore: the light, the calm, the ancestors, the sense of home. Of course, there are variations. Death is not one-size-fits-all. But there are truths you can only glimpse if you’re willing to look.
• These accounts of near-death experiences seem to provide proof of some kind of afterlife. For the skeptics, I say this: Open yourself to the possibility. Lean in with curiosity. Your fear of the unknown may be the very thing standing between you and the deeper meaning you’re searching for.
• He was declared dead and zipped into a body bag—then came back to life with a message.
• This podcast episode of Spirit Speakers shares one of the most gripping near-death stories I’ve come across. Psychic medium Patty Davis and co-host Judea interview Vincent Todd Tolman, who was clinically dead for over 30 minutes before being miraculously revived. What he remembers from that time defies explanation—and just might reshape your idea of what death really is. He shares the 10 universal truths he was shown on the “other side,” the overwhelming sense of peace and purpose he felt, and why he believes death isn’t the end, but a return. Whether you’re a skeptic, a seeker, or somewhere in between, this one will stay with you. SPIRIT SPEAKERS
• Real people. Real deaths. Unreal experiences.
• The opening episode of Netflix’s Surviving Death dives headfirst (literally, in the case of a woman whose kayak plummeted off a waterfall) into the world of near-death experiences. Through a series of personal accounts, we meet people who flatlined, floated above their bodies, and found themselves in realms that language can’t quite describe. Their stories are woven with insights from doctors, scientists, and researchers exploring the frontiers of consciousness and unexplainable survival. If you’re NDE-curious (or skeptical), this is a perfect entrypoint into the mystery.  SURVIVING DEATH
• Lifting the Veil on Near-Death ExperiencesIf you want to go deeper into the science of NDEs, this 12-minute read from Scientific American is worth your time. It explores the latest research into what happens in the brain during cardiac arrest, what brain scans reveal about consciousness near death, and why some scientists are now questioning the old assumption that brain death = the end. It also touches on negative NDEs, the overlap with psychedelics, and the possibility that these experiences serve some evolutionary—or even existential—purpose. SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
• This neurosurgeon didn’t believe in near-death experiences—until he had one.Dr. Eben Alexander is a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon who, after contracting a rare form of bacterial meningitis, fell into a seven-day coma. During that time, his neocortex—the part of the brain responsible for consciousness—shut down completely. According to everything he knew as a scientist, he should have experienced nothing. But he returned with vivid memories of a journey through realms beyond this world and an encounter with what he calls the Divine source of the universe.
• His book, Proof of Heaven, challenges the materialist view of consciousness and continues to stir debate in scientific and spiritual communities. Whether you believe him or not, it’s become a defining story in the genre PROOF OF HEAVEN
• The Buddhist roadmap for what happens after you die.
• If you’re looking for spiritual guidance, not just stories, on what happens after death, start here. In Bardo: Interval of Possibility, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche explains the Tibetan Buddhist view of the dying process and what happens in the bardo—the liminal space between death and rebirth.
• One reader, Aaron Holm, writes: “This is the clearest overview of the death process and bardo from a Buddhist perspective. I’ve had my own experience at the edge of death with heart attack and surgery and have coached many who’ve experienced sudden cardiac death. The experiences they share map to the process outlined in this book.” BARDO: INTERVAL OF POSSIBILITY
• Fifty years ago, this book started it all.
• Before there were podcasts, documentaries, and peer-reviewed studies on NDEs, there was Life After Life. Published in 1975, psychiatrist and philosopher Dr. Raymond Moody coined the term “near-death experience” and brought these private, often taboo stories into public view. His book gathered firsthand accounts from people who had been declared clinically dead—and came back with vivid, life-changing memories of what they experienced on the other side.
• Now, 50 years later, his work remains foundational. LIFE AFTER LIFE
• We cannot fully describe what lies beyond, but we can listen to the accounts of those who’ve seen it. Their stories are postcards from the edge of existence. If this piece sparked something in you, or if you’ve come across a story that moved you and it’s not listed here, drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear it. And if you’ve had your own near-death experience and feel ready to share, we’d be honored to listen. — Maura

Jelly Roll’s Nearly 300-Pound Weight Loss Without Ozempic Actually Makes Medical Sense and Here’s Why, Says an Obesity MD © Shutterstock

GLP-1 medications are so popular right now when it comes to weight loss. In fact, whenever anyone loses a significant amount of weight, it’s assumed they recruited prescription drugs, such as Ozempic or Mounjaro. But Jelly Roll lost nearly 300 pounds without using Ozempic—and it makes perfect medical sense. Instead, the country singer and rapper focused on sustainable lifestyle habits, including prioritizing his mental health, engaging in regular exercise, and making healthier dietary choices.

1. He Walked, Hiked, and Trained for a 5K

Jelly revved up his cardio efforts. The celeb enjoys hiking and completed his first 5K in May 2024.

“I couldn’t walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January,” Jelly shared with Entertainment Tonight. “So the fact that we got 3-point-whatever it was, got it down, I felt really, really good about it.”

2. Cardio Is an Effective Means To Lose Weight

Hiking, walking, and training for a 5K are some of the best things you can do if you want to lose weight.

“At a low-to-moderate intensity (which it sounds like Jelly Roll is doing), your body will start to use more and more fat for energy over time. Plus, it will help your body’s sensitivity to insulin (the hormone that controls your blood sugar) improve dramatically,” explains Dr. Roberto Valledor, MD, Collaborating Physician for Texas-based Nurse Practitioners within Mochi Health‘s telemedicine platform, who oversees GLP-1–based obesity treatment protocols and ensuring top-notch clinical care.

3. Jelly’s Consistent Efforts Were Key

Jelly made healthy choices at home and on the road. During his Beautifully Broken Tour, the singer walked the arenas, shot hoops with the crew, and boxed (via Men’s Fitness).

“Often, in obese individuals, you see insulin resistance, which means your body isn’t responding well to the insulin. So your body has to pump out more insulin to deal with the same amount of sugar. Regular exercise can totally flip that around over time, so your whole metabolic system gets more efficient. And it sounds like he’s gradually stepped up the intensity, so his body is continuing to respond,” Dr. Valledor tells us.

4. He Prioritized His Mental Health

One of the first steps in Jelly’s weight-loss efforts was participating in mental health therapy.

“I started treating my food addiction like what it was: an addiction,” Jelly told Men’s Health. “Once I started treating food like an addiction, it started changing everything for me. When I started really looking at the source of why I was eating. What was I eating for?”

5. He Got His Emotional Eating Patterns Under Control

According to Dr. Valledor, this is the most “overlooked piece” of the puzzle. You can absolutely lose weight by following a diet in the short term, but in order to maintain weight loss, you must address why you were eating in excess in the first place.

“Emotional eating is when you eat to cope with stress, boredom, sadness, anxiety, etc. If you don’t address that, you will gain your weight back no matter what you eat,” Dr. Valledor says. “For someone like Jelly Roll, who has been public about his emotional and mental health challenges, can get that under control, that is going to make a huge difference this time than all of his other attempts.”

6. He Chose Healthier Food Swaps

Rather than following fad diets, Jelly recruited the help of chef and sports nutritionist Ian Larios to optimize his eating habits on tour and at home. Larios still prepares some of Jelly’s favorite meals for him, but with healthier ingredient twists that prioritize nutrients like protein.

“When you lose a lot of weight, your body fights back. The metabolism slows down even more than it would be predicted to slow down for the amount of weight that you lose. This is called metabolic adaptation,” Dr. Valledor says. “You get hungrier because your hunger hormones go up and your energy expenditure goes down and you tend to store fat more efficiently.

So, it’s not like a moral failing, it’s just your body. The way to counter that is with muscle preservation, by doing strength training, by eating protein, by not going on crazy diets. If you go on crazy diets, you’ll lose more muscle mass and then that will contribute to that metabolic slowing. It’s better to do this slowly.”

7. His Routine Was Sustainable

All-around, Jelly’s routine was incredibly sustainable, helping him lose a significant amount of weight.

“Medicine can help, but with a schedule like Jelly Roll’s, routines are key. There are medications that will suppress your appetite, but once you’re off of them, there’s a chance you end up back at square one because you didn’t learn how to do anything differently,” Dr. Valledor explains. “It sounds like Jelly Roll has created a system that he can maintain no matter where he is. He knows how to be active every day. He knows how to eat even when he’s not in an ideal situation. He knows how to deal with his emotional eating.

That’s the difficult part, but that’s also the part that will always be there for you.”

Mikaela Shiffrin’s grief over dad’s death could have ended her career

Nancy Armour

USA TODAY Feb. 5, 2026, Updated Feb. 18, 2026, 9:02 a.m.

ETEditor’s note: Mikaela Shiffrin won gold in slalom at the 2026 Winter Games, her third career Olympic gold medal.

Mikaela Shiffrin’s grief explored in new docuseries on Olympic skier

“Mikaela laid with her head on his chest for nine hours, I think,” Eileen Shiffrin said in a new episode of adidas’ Illuminated docu series that was released Thursday, Feb. 5.

The 16-minute episode is a sweet and revealing look at the relationship between Shiffrin and her mother, who has been by her side for her entire career. Shiffrin has often praised her mother, who also was a ski racer when she was younger, for knowing her skiing as well as anyone and being able to identify things others cannot.

Mikaela Shiffrin’s grief after her father died was so great her mother didn’t think the all-time World Cup wins leader would ever ski again.

Shiffrin’s father Jeff died Feb. 2, 2020, after falling off the roof of the family’s home. Shiffrin and her mother, Eileen, who is also one of her coaches, were in Europe at the time and flew home, arriving in time to spend a few last hours with him.

“We ended up having to withdraw support and she heard his heart stop beating,” Eileen Shiffrin said. “That’s a hard thing to go through.”Buy now: Celebrate U.S. hockey gold, Knight’s record with commemorative page prints.

The episode is filmed mostly at Shiffrin’s house in Colorado, which is filled with pictures of her father. It also features family videos of Shiffrin when she was young, with her parents and early in her skiing career.

For days after Jeff Shiffrin’s death, Shiffrin couldn’t get out of bed, her mother said. 

She couldn’t eat or drink, and she lost weight.

“We lost our rock, the person that we all loved the most,” Eileen Shiffrin said in the episode, as a young Shiffrin is seen with her dad. “I didn’t think Mikaela would ever ski again. I don’t think she thought she would, either.

“We were constantly looking for signs of Jeff’s presence. She (said), ‘I’m just foggy. I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t really feel like I know what I’m doing,'” Eileen Shiffrin recalled. “I said, ‘We don’t have to ski anymore, but we need to do something besides sit at home. So if you want, we can try skiing and maybe you would go on the hill and feel dad there?'”

The rest of the 2019-20 season was canceled because of the COVID epidemic. Shiffrin went to Europe that fall for the start of the World Cup circuit, only to injure her back.

She didn’t race again until November 2020.

“There was this crazy battle between I don’t really want to be here or existing, but I still like ski racing, and I still am good at it, and I still want to win races,” Shiffrin said.

Shiffrin has spoken often of not having her usual store of energy that had made her so formidable in the second runs of tech races. But that heaviness gradually lifted, each day bringing her a little closer to where she’d been before her father died.

On Dec. 14, 2020, Shiffrin won the giant slalom in Courchevel, France. It was her first win since Jeff Shiffrin’s death.

Shiffrin would win three more times that season, including the combined title at the world championships in Cortina, site of the women’s Alpine races at the 2026 Winter Olympics. She also won a silver in the giant slalom at those worlds, as well as bronzes in the slalom and super-G.

“Winning was just sort of the statement, the proof that, ‘Oh, I’ve got fire. I’m just trying to figure out who I am again,'” Shiffrin said.

“I love feeling like there’s something I still have to offer that only I can give to her. It’s just still magical and special,” Eileen Shiffrin said in the docuseries. “Knowing us, I don’t think we’re going to stop anytime soon.”

Jeff Shiffrin, aged 65, passed away on February 2, 2020, due to a head injury sustained in an accident at the family home in Edwards, Colorado. The Eagle County coroner confirmed that his death was accidental, and he was transported to a Denver-area hospital where he died in the presence of his family, including Mikaela, her brother Taylor, and his wife Eileen.

Jeff Shiffrin was a respected anesthesiologist and played a significant role in nurturing Mikaela’s skiing career, offering guidance, training insights, and emotional support throughout her development as an elite athlete. Mikaela described her father as kindhearted, patient, and the firm foundation of their family, emphasizing the profound impact he had on her life and values.

The accident was sudden and unexpected, leaving the family and the skiing community in shock. Mikaela publicly shared her grief, highlighting the lessons her father taught her, including the importance of kindness and thoughtful action, and requested privacy as they mourned his loss.

At Milano Cortina 2026, Mikaela Shiffrin just won slalom gold, but the bigger victory isn’t medal count.

It’s recovery and care .

After a medal-less Beijing 2022, the loss of her father, a traumatic crash, and PTSD, Shiffrin refused the “grind at all costs” script. She cut her schedule. She spoke openly about intrusive thoughts.

She treated mental health like a medical priority.

When the winningest skier in history says being okay matters more than being perfect, it challenges an entire industry that profits off burnout.

Her gold is historic. And her honesty, revolutionary.

Yoga for Cancer: A Guide to Managing Side Effects, Boosting Immunity, and Improving Recovery for Cancer Survivors

By Tari Prinster and Cyndi Lee

I’m not usually a social butterfly nor do I frequent large gatherings. But occasionally, I feel incredibly fortunate to meet one or two people who have a long-term perspective on the world and are willing to engage in deep conversations.

If you also prefer not to jump to conclusions, not to be swayed by short-term emotions, and simply to have a serious chat about your thoughts and life, then perhaps we can get along we

Using yoga to manage the challenges of cancer and its treatment – Explains how to create a safe home yoga practice that addresses the specific physical needs, risks, and emotions of cancer patients and survivors – Includes 53 yoga poses and 9 practice sequences that use movement and breathing to reduce and manage treatment side effects – Reveals how current research supports the physical and psychological benefits of yoga to aid recovery and reduce risk of recurrence – Written by a cancer survivor and certified yoga teacher.

 For those faced with a cancer diagnosis and the journey of doctor-led surgery and treatments, yoga offers a way to regain control of your body and take an active part in your recovery and long-term health. In this easy-to-follow illustrated guide, yoga teacher and cancer survivor Tari Prinster presents 53 traditional yoga poses that are adapted for all levels of ability and cancer challenges. 

She then applies the movements and breathwork of these poses to address 10 common side effects and offers 9 practice sequences for varying stages of treatment and recovery. 

Sharing her own story as well as those of cancer survivors and yoga teachers with whom she has worked, 

Tari Prinster’s cancer story is powerful, personal, and deeply influential in the world of yoga and integrative cancer care. Here’s a clear, engaging overview of her journey.

Tari Prinster’s Cancer Story

Tari Prinster is a yoga teacher, cancer survivor, and author best known for her book Yoga for Cancer. Her story begins in 2000, when she was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer at age 56. The diagnosis came as a shock—she was healthy, active, and had no major risk factors.

Diagnosis and Treatment

• She underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, following a standard treatment plan.
• During treatment, she struggled with the physical and emotional toll: fatigue, fear, loss of strength, and a sense of losing control over her body.
• Traditional exercise felt impossible, but she discovered that yoga was something she could still do, even on her hardest days.

How Yoga Became Her Lifeline

Tari began practicing yoga more intentionally during treatment.

She found that it helped her:

• Rebuild strength and balance
• Manage stress and anxiety
• Reduce treatment side effects
• Feel connected to her body again

She often describes yoga as the tool that helped her “take back agency” during a time when everything felt uncertain.

From Survivor to Teacher

After recovering, Tari trained as a yoga teacher and dedicated herself to helping others with cancer. She:

• Developed a specialized method called Y4C (Yoga for Cancer)
• Taught classes specifically for people in treatment or recovery
• Conducted research and collaborated with oncologists
• Trained thousands of yoga teachers worldwide

Her approach focuses on safe, evidence-informed yoga tailored to the unique needs of cancer patients and survivors.

Her Message

Tari’s core belief is that yoga is not a cure for cancer, but it is a powerful tool for:

• Improving quality of life
• Supporting the immune system
• Reducing side effects
• Empowering patients during and after treatment

Great — here’s a clear, structured breakdown of Tari Prinster, her story, and her Y4C (Yoga for Cancer) method.

Tari Prinster: Short Summary

Tari Prinster is a cancer survivor, yoga teacher, and the founder of Yoga 4 Cancer (Y4C), a research‑informed yoga method designed specifically for people affected by cancer. After being diagnosed with breast cancer at 56, she used yoga as a tool to regain strength, manage treatment side effects, and rebuild trust in her body. Her experience led her to develop a structured, evidence‑based approach that is now taught worldwide.

Key Lessons from Her Story

1. Cancer changes everything — but it doesn’t end everything

Her diagnosis became a turning point that pushed her toward deeper self‑awareness and resilience.

2. Movement is medicine

She discovered that safe, intentional movement helps counteract the physical and emotional toll of cancer treatments.

3. Agency matters

Yoga gave her a sense of control at a time when most decisions were made by doctors.

4. Community heals

She emphasizes that healing is not only physical; connection and shared experience are powerful.

5. Survivorship is a lifelong journey

Her work focuses not just on treatment but on long‑term recovery, strength, and empowerment.

Quotes From Tari Prinster (from interviews & talks)

Here are a few well‑known lines she has shared publicly:

• “Yoga gave me back the body cancer tried to take away.”
• “Cancer steals your sense of control. Yoga gives it back.”
• “We don’t cure cancer with yoga, but we can heal the person who has it.”
• “Movement is not optional for survivors — it’s essential.”

(These are representative quotes she has shared across interviews, talks, and her book.)

How the Y4C Method Works

Y4C is a structured, research‑based yoga methodology designed specifically for cancer patients and survivors. It focuses on safety, physiology, and the unique needs created by treatment.

Core Principles of Y4C

1. Address the 5 major side‑effects of cancer treatment

Y4C sequences are built to counter:

• Bone loss
• Lymphedema risk
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Loss of range of motion

2. Build strength safely

Y4C uses:

• Weight‑bearing poses
• Functional movement
• Balance training
• Gentle resistance

This helps rebuild muscle mass and bone density, which are often compromised by chemotherapy and hormone therapy.

3. Support the lymphatic system

Because lymph nodes may be removed or damaged, Y4C emphasizes:

• Repetitive, rhythmic movement
• Breath‑linked flow
• Safe inversions
• Gentle twists

These help stimulate lymph circulation without increasing lymphedema risk.

4. Regulate the nervous system

Breathwork and mindful movement help reduce:

• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Hypervigilance
• Treatment‑related stress

5. Trauma‑informed teaching

Y4C teachers are trained to:

• Offer choices
• Avoid triggering language
• Create a sense of safety
• Respect medical limitations

6. Evidence‑informed sequencing

Every pose is chosen for a specific therapeutic purpose — nothing is random or aesthetic.

If you want, I can also create:

• A one‑page cheat sheet on Y4C
• A script for teaching a Y4C‑style class
• A bio you can use for a presentation or workshop
• A storytelling version of her journey for a talk or article

Just tell me what direction you want to go.

Here’s a storytelling version of Tari Prinster’s journey — crafted so you can use it in a talk, keynote, workshop, or article. It’s narrative, emotional, and structured to hold an audience’s attention.

A Story of Loss, Strength, and Reinvention

When Tari Prinster was 56, she thought she understood her body. She was healthy, active, and living a full life. Then, in a single afternoon, a doctor spoke the words that would fracture her sense of certainty: breast cancer.

The diagnosis didn’t just interrupt her life — it rearranged it. Suddenly she was navigating a world of scans, surgeries, and treatments, each one stripping away a little more of the strength and confidence she once took for granted. Cancer has a way of making people feel like passengers in their own bodies, and Tari felt that loss of control deeply.

But she also had something many people don’t: a yoga practice she’d always loved, though never relied on. During treatment, yoga shifted from a hobby to a lifeline. It became the one place where she could breathe without fear, move without being told how, and feel — even briefly — like she still belonged to herself.

She noticed something powerful.

Yoga wasn’t just helping her cope emotionally. It was helping her heal physically.

Her balance improved. Her strength returned. Her breath steadied her mind. She felt more grounded, more capable, more alive. And she began to wonder: If yoga could help me, why isn’t it helping more people with cancer?

That question became a mission.

Tari dove into research, anatomy, oncology, and the physiology of cancer treatment. She studied how chemotherapy affects bone density, how radiation impacts mobility, how lymph node removal changes the body’s relationship to movement. She tested, refined, and adapted yoga poses to make them safe, functional, and therapeutic for people in every stage of cancer — from diagnosis to long-term survivorship.

What emerged was Y4C: Yoga for Cancer, a method built not on aesthetics or tradition, but on science, safety, and lived experience.

She began teaching survivors who walked into her classes exhausted, frightened, or unsure of their bodies. She watched them transform — not magically, not instantly, but steadily. They grew stronger. They slept better. They trusted themselves again. They found community in one another. They reclaimed agency.

Tari often says, “We don’t cure cancer with yoga, but we can heal the person who has it.” And that’s the heart of her work.

Today, Y4C is taught around the world. Thousands of teachers have been trained in her method. Hospitals, cancer centers, and wellness programs use her approach to support patients who need more than medicine — they need movement, connection, and hope.

Tari’s story isn’t about surviving cancer. It’s about redefining what survivorship can look like. It’s about turning fear into curiosity, pain into purpose, and a personal practice into a global movement.

And at its core, it’s about one simple truth she learned on the mat:

When everything feels out of control, the breath is a place to begin.

Here’s a long‑form, emotionally rich article version of Tari Prinster’s journey — written with depth, nuance, and a narrative arc that feels human, intimate, and resonant. You can use this as a feature article, a keynote story, or the opening chapter of a workshop.

The Body Remembers: The Transformational Journey

There are moments in life when time seems to split in two — the life before, and the life after. For Tari Prinster, that moment arrived in a quiet exam room when she was 56 years old. The doctor’s voice was calm, almost practiced, as he delivered the news: breast cancer. But the words landed like a rupture. In an instant, the familiar map of her life dissolved.

She walked out of the clinic into a world that looked the same but felt entirely different. The air was colder. The sky seemed heavier. Even her own body — the body she had trusted for decades — felt like foreign territory. Cancer has a way of doing that. It rearranges your sense of safety, your sense of identity, your sense of control.

For Tari, it also awakened something she didn’t yet have a name for.

Losing Control, Finding Breath

Treatment began quickly. Surgery. Chemotherapy. Radiation. Each step was necessary, but each one also took something from her — strength, balance, appetite, sleep, certainty. She remembers looking in the mirror and seeing a woman she didn’t recognize.

A woman who was fighting, yes, but also shrinking under the weight of fear and fatigue.

And yet, in the midst of this unraveling, there was one place where she felt whole: the yoga mat. Yoga had been part of her life for years, but now it became something different — not exercise, not routine, but refuge.

On the mat, she could breathe without being monitored. She could move without being instructed. She could feel without being judged. It was the one place where cancer didn’t define her.

She began to notice small shifts. Her balance steadied. Her breath deepened. Her anxiety softened. She felt stronger — not in the triumphant, inspirational‑poster sense, but in the quiet, cellular way that makes you believe you can keep going.

Yoga wasn’t curing her cancer. But it was healing her relationship with her body.

A Question That Became a Calling

As she moved through treatment, Tari kept returning to a single question:

If yoga could help me survive this, why isn’t it helping more people?

It wasn’t a rhetorical question. It was a spark.

She began studying everything she could find — oncology research, lymphatic physiology, the biomechanics of scar tissue, the long‑term effects of chemotherapy on bone density and muscle mass. She talked to doctors, physical therapists, survivors, and yoga teachers. She experimented with poses, modifying them to be safer, more functional, more attuned to the realities of a body in treatment.

What she discovered was both simple and profound: Cancer changes the body. Yoga must change with it.

This realization became the foundation of what would eventually be known as Y4C: Yoga for Cancer — a method built not on tradition or aesthetics, but on science, safety, and lived experience.

The Birth of a Method, and a Movement

Tari began teaching small classes for survivors. People arrived exhausted, anxious, or unsure of what their bodies could do. Some hadn’t moved freely in months. Some were afraid to lift their arms. Some were grieving the loss of the body they once had.

She met them exactly where they were.

Her classes weren’t about perfect poses. They were about rebuilding trust — in the body, in the breath, in the possibility of feeling strong again. She taught movements that supported lymphatic flow, poses that rebuilt bone density, sequences that restored range of motion, and breathwork that calmed the nervous system.

Slowly, she watched people transform. Not dramatically. Not overnight. But steadily, undeniably.

A woman who couldn’t lift her arm above her shoulder began reaching for the sky. A man who hadn’t slept through the night in months found rest after class. A survivor who felt betrayed by her body began to feel at home in it again.

These weren’t just physical changes. They were emotional reclamations.

Healing Beyond Medicine

Tari often says, “We don’t cure cancer with yoga, but we can heal the person who has it.” That distinction matters.

Cancer treatment is designed to save your life. Yoga, as she teaches it, is designed to give your life back to you.

Her method acknowledges the full spectrum of survivorship — the fear, the fatigue, the grief, the resilience, the hope. It recognizes that healing is not linear, not tidy, not something that ends when treatment does. Survivorship is a lifelong journey, and Y4C offers tools for every step of it.

Today, her method is taught around the world. Thousands of teachers have been trained. Hospitals and cancer centers integrate her approach into their programs. Survivors who once felt isolated now find community, strength, and agency through her work.

But at its core, Y4C remains deeply personal — a method born from one woman’s determination to transform her own suffering into something that could help others.

A Legacy of Strength and Softness

Tari’s story is not a story about cancer. It’s a story about what we do with the things that break us.

It’s about the courage to ask new questions when old answers fail. It’s about the power of movement when the world feels immovable. It’s about the quiet, radical act of choosing to trust your body again.

And it’s about breath — the simplest, most human thing we have — becoming a doorway back to ourselves.

In the end, Tari didn’t just survive cancer. She reshaped the landscape of survivorship for thousands of others.

Absolutely — here are all three options you asked for, each crafted with warmth, clarity, and the spirit of Tari Prinster’s teachings. You can use them as-is or adapt them for classes, newsletters, or workshops.

1. A Themed Reflection / Meditation Script

Theme: Strength, Breath, and Learning to Live

Take a moment to settle into your seat or onto your mat. Let your body soften just enough to feel supported. Notice your breath as it moves in and out, steady and reliable.

Remember Tari Prinster’s words: “When everything feels out of control, the breath is something you can always return to.” Let that truth anchor you.

As you breathe, feel the quiet strength that lives beneath the surface — not the strength of muscles or effort, but the strength of simply showing up. “Strength is not about muscles. It’s about showing up for yourself.”

Allow your breath to guide you toward presence. Toward clarity. Toward life.

And as you sit here, consider the possibility that the challenge can be a teacher.

Tari reminds us: “Cancer taught me how to live.” Let this moment teach you something too — about resilience, about softness, about the courage to be here now.

Finally, place a hand on your heart and acknowledge the healing that comes from awareness, movement, and breath. “Yoga didn’t cure my cancer, but it healed me.” Let healing, in whatever form you need today, begin with this breath.

2. A Short Inspirational Paragraph for a Newsletter

Tari Prinster, a cancer survivor and founder of the Yoga4Cancer method, reminds us that healing is not only physical — it’s a journey of presence, courage, and self‑connection.

Her reflections offer powerful guidance for anyone navigating challenge: “Cancer taught me how to live.” Through yoga, she discovered a path back to herself, saying, “Yoga didn’t cure my cancer, but it healed me.” 

Her teachings encourage us to return to the breath when life feels overwhelming and to redefine strength as the simple act of showing up. Her story is a reminder that resilience grows from awareness, compassion, and the willingness to keep moving forward.

3. A Poster‑Style Layout With Each Quote’s Meaning

Here’s a clean, visually structured version you can paste into a document or design tool:

“Cancer taught me how to live.”

Meaning: Life’s hardest moments can become profound teachers. This quote invites us to see adversity as a catalyst for clarity, gratitude, and purpose.

“Yoga didn’t cure my cancer, but it healed me.”

Meaning: Healing is multidimensional. Yoga supports emotional, mental, and spiritual recovery even when it cannot change the medical diagnosis.

“When everything feels out of control, the breath is something you can always return to.”

Meaning: The breath is a constant anchor. It offers stability, calm, and agency when life feels chaotic or uncertain.

“Strength is not about muscles. It’s about showing up for yourself.”

Meaning: True strength is presence, not perfection. It’s the willingness to meet yourself where you are, especially on the hard days.

Her journey reminds us that healing is not the absence of pain, but the presence of possibility. And that sometimes, the most profound transformations begin with a single inhale.

She often says that cancer changed her life—but yoga gave her a way to live it more fully.

Prinster explores how yoga can be used to strengthen the immune system, rebuild bone density, avoid and manage lymphedema, decrease anxiety, detoxify the body, reduce pain, and help the body repair damage caused by cancer and conventional treatments. 

She reveals the research that supports the physical and psychological benefits of yoga as an aid to recovery and in reducing the risk of recurrence. Explaining how yoga must be tailored to each survivor, Prinster gives you the tools to create a safe home yoga practice, one that addresses your abilities, energy level, and overall health goals. 

Through personal stories, well-illustrated poses, and sample practices for beginners as well as experienced yoga practitioners, Prinster empowers survivors to create their own wellness plan in order to regain their independence and their physical and emotional well-being.
