There can be little doubt that people touched by chronic illnesses want to do something positive to help themselves or a loved one.
However, these people face a challenge or two.
Firstly, talented scientists discover interesting factors that can directly impinge on illnesses, yet after a brief mention of their work and even peer group praise, if it doesn’t yield a drug, all too often the discovery seems to be forgotten and unused. And newcomers to the illness remain blissfully unaware of something that could have dramatic benefits to their health. This is especially true in treatments not funded, developed or patentable by Pharmaceutical companies.
A second problem is that many websites, including some of the biggest, have been shown to be inaccurate in their commentary when subject to the vagueries of non-scientists or amateur editors. For example, 2013/4 American research showed the widely used Wikipedia to be inaccurate in nine out of ten health categories.
Our website simply aims to help. And to provide evidence that can be checked for accuracy by anyone. On this website, we publish a short summary of research we think could help you make smarter health choices today. We give you the reference; so you can run down the headings of a particular illness and read the latest information for yourself, and check it out.
All in one place. 100% accurate.
Nothing could be simpler.

Ken asked me to give you a little on my story, here you go. I have stage 4 aggressive, ductal, triple negative breast cancer with mets to my lungs and liver, I was diagnosed In March of 20 14. Prior to this diagnosis, I miscarried almost all my life since 19 when I only had one viable live birth. My eating habits and patterns where the worst, I was addicted to meats, sugars and white foods such as potatoes, rice and breads.
I didn’t eat many fresh vegetables or fruits it was mostly junk food and processed foods. I am obese an have been most of my life, mostly because I just didn’t get food and how it worked. At 40 I suffered a TIA or small stroke, I always had dense breasts with fibroids so it was difficult for me to find any tumor or changes or lumps since it always felt the same to me.
In 2013, I am from Canada and moved across the country and had to find a new doc. Going through new investigative tests for her. She asked me to do a mammogram which I usually refused knowing it wasn’t safe for me and knowing it would be an embarrassing and painful event as it had been in the past, I did it anyways and it was since I have large breast which required two pics to get the full picture.
That’s when it was found and when I was called back my head went ‘Great, it’s cancer?’ Why else would you get called back. My heart sunk…. then I went into my normal frantic mode. What should I do and how ?? I had a friend who was an RN…. who put me on to Dr. Lorraine Day.
I listened to what she had to say, I made up my mind I would not go conventional as it holds nothing for me especially after my needle biopsy which I never recommend to any women to do the damage from the procedures was long lasting, over a month of a completely bruised black and blue breast, ( never again would they do that to me).
So I met with the oncologist almost immediately and a general surgeon who tried a biopsy prior to the needle one and missed the tumor all together yet she offered to take it out ! I had no confidence in her so left with nothing being done. Had a good long talk with the oncologist who had to work really hard with me to convince me to do chemo?
After telling me that it wouldn’t be responsive to the chemotherapy but they would like to try to shrink it? I though why try if it’s not responsive? And if so…. how do they think they could shrink it? Nothing she said, made any sense. I had already talked to cannabis oil people and started using it. Not an easy process and very pricey.
So I Told her about it as she laughed at me and that was enough to tell me I was in the wrong place. Told me if her mother or sisters had what I had she would never tell them not to use chemo? I felt her lying to me… so I walked asked for time to think it out and never went back. Thereby, began my journey looking for and trying to find ways to help myself to get well. I began slowly with changing my diet, juicing kale and ginger making what I called the mean green drink…. with kale spinach, asparagus, lemon, green apple and so on…..
I learned to let go of sugars and processed food not an easy task but never got too upset with me for my slips just jumped back on the bus immediately after and finally keeping a calendar of how long between eating meats etc. I developed ways to measure my food and cutting things up getting them ready to go on a moment’s notice. I checked around on the Gerson diet. However, didn’t feel good about limiting anything to my body. Since I know I lived that way before and it needed all the help it could get.
So I ate all fresh organic foods juiced and kept eating salads and learning how to make alkaline food more fun for me. A whole new world began to open up and my health was improving but my stressors were not fading. All the while I was going through my own battle my partner, developed some health issues, and finally culminating in him having esophageal cancer.
So we turned to looking after him as he was being stomach tube fed from January on after losing more than half his body weight from November to January. He’s now doing very well after having surgery to remove the tumor…. which was found completely dead. Nothing but scar tissue verified by the lab and after having removed 17 lymph nodes only one had a live cell.
So the oil and the supplements had done it’s job on him as he was getting all I could get in him prior to surgery, by November I had added Transfer factor for both of us and super charged his immune with 5 caps of TF 3 times a day. I stayed on the cancer dose of 3 times 3 per day. Helped him and I with more energy and felt full of live while feeling lots of stabs and pinching around the tumor site in my breast so I just kept going.
I was left to my own devices by my docs who I think were watching for me to get worse, which I didn’t . I got better and felt healthier while I lost weight, lost my diabetic meds in the process and my A1 C1 has been great ever since with no issues at all. I even kept going even with all the stress. I couldn’t meditate yet…. too much in my head and no real peace but I finally began in February to find some peace and it slowly came when I took the time to meditate.
Since March I’ve done way much more cannabis oil than the 60 grams in a few months. And I’m still on it. Not willing to leave any stone unturned and using what I learned from empower your health Facebook groups and Solitarius.org and many others. I used mainly the Mari protocol, but not correctly, until lately when I switched from the pill forms of the protocol to more liquid forms of it. It then made a huge change for me in my body.
I was starting to get pain from planters fasciitis in my heel and my hips and lower back was hurting, when I changed to liquid magnesium 1000 twice a day no pain no nothing in less than a week!! Am I done tweaking my protocol, no but I know it’s working cause of my investigation while considering a lumpectomy to jump start my healing faster. They found the main tumor is dying in the middle showing narcosis on the CT and MRI scans done.
But we discovered it had spread to also my lungs and liver. So no surgery or lumpectomy. IT’s natural all the way or not at all. I believe in the power of our bodies to heal themselves when given the proper ingredients in the right doses for us. I believe my immune is my key to my health so I search for all immune boosters such as TF and soul ‘s rain and core if it’s good enough for athlete’s it’s good enough for me.
I learned to lose sugars and processed foods and embrace organics when I at first didn’t. I do now whole heartedly. I’ve had to learn to live, love and find my laughter again through all this. I live in the day I’m in and make sure I get out in it wind rain, sun or snow. I’m out walking our little Yorkshire pup, a few times a day.
Do I like it?? Nope!! Snow can be flipping cold !! No one I know loves ice and snow ! lol I run up and down the building stairs inside my condo and walk down every hall way great work out. At first getting up two flights of stairs just about killed me. Now I can run up all 10 flights and then I break a sweat. Has this been easy? Nope! Will I give in to this cancer? Nope!!
My feeling is I’m trusting my process and tweaking it always to keep my aggressive cancer wondering what it will hit with next! However, more than anything. I have accepted and found my peace, I’m not afraid anymore, I have moments. But they never last very long then they pass. I love music it soothes my soul and connects me to many things inside me.
I have taken the time to grieve over the loses of all my babies…. over the years. And now understanding it was my own diet that did it to them and to me. So only I can change what happens next. I believe God is there…. he loves me perfectly and if He thinks I should stay I will if not then nothing I will do will change it. It’s his will not mine now… and I’m really okay with the idea of it as my desire is to get as many years as my mom who is 83 now and I’m 57 so I have some living left to do I’m determined to do it!
If what I’m doing is helpful to me it may be helpful to you so I share what little I know. Thank you for listening but listen to your body more than anyone. Learn what it’s telling you as you get messages all the time. Just need to open your ears to them. I’m not healed yet. However, I am healthier now than ever before in my life I started tis at an unhealthy 273 pounds and now sit at a healthier 225 pounds. My weight today is still coming down a little every week because I made serious changes and still am.
This is My Journey and I am sticking to it no matter what. SO Here’s to Wishing you all the best in your journeys, just never give up. As that’s most likely when things will turn for you. So hold on and enjoy the ride and learn all you need to achieve in your goals of good health.

Cancer is a modern plague: while plagues of the past killed a few million. In 2008 – 2009, cancer deaths reached 7.5 million globally. A 2011 U.S. National Cancer Institute report found that 45 percent of U.S. men and 38 percent of U.S. women will develop cancer in their lifetime. About one in five will die from cancer.
The most prevalent cancers — include those of the breast, prostate, colon, bladder, melanoma and lymphoma. According to the C.D.C., nearly 20 million people have been diagnosed with cancer — 8.5 percent of the U.S. population. Doctors and researchers have been struggling to get a grip on cancer for decades. Cancer rates are spiraling out of control.
That’s because cancer is not a communicable disease. People do not catch cancer — rather cancer is a genetic anomaly. A cell in the body becomes a cellular abnormality, deranged and turns against the body. Even a small rearrangement can have vast implications. Just a small change in DNA will trip up the cells operation.
The cell begins to act abnormally, for example: a deranged fat cell, instead of producing glycogen and accumulating simple fat. Might start accumulating brown fat, toxins and protein from neighboring tissues. Cells communicate, therefore, just one demented cell may not be dangerous are cells are designed to regenerate themselves.
Thereby, deranged cells can cause countless unhinged copies. As these copies multiply they develop a sort of tissue structure — a tumor. In fact, most derangements of DNA become tied to the cell’s survival instinct. Which means they clump together becoming arranged for their own survival. These smart cancer cells send out carriers to help them take over. This is called:m e t a s t a s i z i n g!!!
In todays world our environment, foods, houses will live in, water we drink and air we breath creates a toxic overload that compromises our immune system. They also contain numerous poisons in the form of synthetic and unnatural compounds. Even the medicine we get to get better contain toxins that poison the body and damage the liver.
Most of these compounds must be broken down and removed from the body in order for us to stay alive. Our bodies can accumulate some toxins to a certain degree. But at some put, toxic build up within the body will stop metabolism. Also toxic build can damage the vital organs (liver, kidney, gallbladder.) And these organs along with the immune system helps mobilize and break down and flush each of these compounds out of the body in order to keep these organs and cells operating effectively.
In todays world our bodies are being inundated with toxins. The immune system, liver, kidneys and gallbladder are overworked trying to break down and remove these toxins. Most immune systems are suppressed. This allows toxins to overwhelm cells and derange the DNA. This derangement can also produce a type of protein that inhibits the cell’s last resort self destruct switch — the p53 gene to become ineffective.
The p53 gene typically causes the cell to self destruct — when it becomes irreversibly polluted. Please note: cancer is cancer, however, it’s where the cell that is deranged is located that dictates what type of cancer it becomes. Many types of cancer but cancer still is cancer. Thereby, it’s a daily activity of year after year inundating your immune system that produces a vicious cycle that produces cancer to develop.
Other measure one can take is maintain a healthy weight. Obesity severely depresses the immune system. Sunshine is important with vitamin D produced from the sun stimulating immunity. While eating a plant based — anti cancer agent diet aids the immune system. Its the phytonutrients in these plants that protect the plant from our environment that protects us from cancer.
Practically every plant food is anti carcinogenic, gallic acid, catechins, procyanidins, tannins, luteolins, polyphenols, chlorophyll and many others have exhibited and ability, not only, to neutralize toxins, but also, stimulate the immune system to clear out cells before they become cancerous cells. Also various spices turmeric, ginger, garlic, basil and rosemary. Along with medicinal mushroom (chaga, reishi, maitake and shittake) showing significant anti cancer properties in research.
While fermented foods and probiotics can help stimulate and support immunity. Which can also strengthen probiotic colonies that constitutes the body’s over all capacity to combat and remove toxins. It’s also important to note a genetic component to developing cancer, children do get cancer and they haven’t lived long enough to accumulate toxins.
Nevertheless an effective detox/ cleanse of the bodily systems and organs working together to neutralize and eliminate toxins from the body is important. This bodily process involves the liver, kidney’s, lungs, intestines, skin, lymphatic and circulatory systems working in unison effectively. First we need to release the stored toxins then neutralize them through the blood in the kidneys and finally released through the urine.
To initiate this process one should also eliminate all foods that are acid producing, like processed foods, red meats, dairy, sugar, eggs, grains, coffee, and alcohol. Starting and ending each day with at least 16 ounces of filtered water which will assist in flushing waste from the body. The best way of accomplishing a detox/ cleanse is by consuming a juice blend of alkaline fruits and vegetables, eating 51% raw foods, some soups, cold water fish and chicken.
Bottomline: Environmental toxins from chemicals to heavy metals to radiation [from many sources] can also create a damaging effect on weakening cells, thereby, causing inflammation; the cancer then grows exponentially as we feed it. All the things we do to eliminate the toxins and the diet we do to lower the intake of refined sugars helps slow the progression down.
Thereby, certainly using more toxins in the way of chemo and radiation that are both carcinogenic to kill cancer is not the answer, it is quite the opposite. Bringing down inflammation in cancer can help slow it down and for many that will buy time. Killing the damaged cells and bringing about death to the cancer stem cells has to occur before the body will overcome the disease. Cancer indeed is complex but it is not incurable.
The Cancer Cascade: Some people say its the weakening of the immune system or it comes from the central nervous system is the reason some people get cancer. While having others say, But Ken I never catch a cold and I have cancer and my mother she’s a nervous wreck and a worry wart and she doesn’t have cancer. While other say cancer derives from chronic inflammation.
So lets take a look at that third proposal: Scientists have discovered that internal chronic inflammation prevents the body from optim…ally metabolizing iron — a key nutrient that plays a critical role in the production of thyroid hormones. When the body has the iron is needs it stores any excess for future use.
Chronic inflammation hinders this process — which then keeps hepcidin levels elevated. Trapping iron in cells so the body can’t metabolize it. When hepcidin levels are elevated, the body decreases its absorption of iron from food. Therefore, a thyroid starved of iron becomes sluggish and metabolism slows to a creeping weight gain.
Thereby, when people are over weight… inflammatory markers and hepcidin levels can increase 8 fold. Since iron is needed to produce hemoglobin. A protein that helps deliver oxygen throughout the body… this imbalance ….can manifest itself as a general malaise. Patients with low iron and hypothyroidism sometimes can’t manage to make lifestyle changes.
The logical first step to this turn around must be to start an iron repletion and anti – inflammatory diet. When one does this they feel more energized within a week or two. When you become accustomed to running around with oxygen depletion to your brain and organs you often notice a difference rapidly.
Food pairings are best to rev up metabolism: enjoying iron rich fare with a source of vitamin C doubles iron metabolism. While also dialing down inflammation to swiftly revitalize the thyroid. Some examples would be: red pepper slices dipped in hummus, or 3 tbs. of cashews or almonds and a handful of strawberries.
Some interesting comments from the Facebook GroupPage. I never get sick but developed cancer and recently discovered parasites after doing a cleanse.. So I agree with you Anita.. I have had debilitating GI issues for over 10 years now and have had just about every test under the sun… Someone mentioned SIBO on here… I had never heard of it so I started researching.. I took a specimen in to my GI to send to parasitology and I’m getting tested for SIBO. Not one doctor… all this time has ever or even suggested I be checked for parasites.. If surgeons discover parasites during surgery why wouldn’t they say something to the patient? I’ve got the creeps from this, however, I’m glad to be getting answers to my chronic gut issue I just hope there hasn’t been too much nerve damage… This topic seems to be a trend with cancer I believe that chronic inflammation is what lead to my decline in health and cancer.
I also agree on the detoxing the body first because of the blockages, you can take all the supplements you want but if there’s a blockage you’re just wasting your money. Great info!
My theory is cancer is a result of injury to the body resulting in a cascading effect as toxins, stress, et cetera change the way the body tries to recover from an injury; cancer begins as the accumulation of the catalysts change the cells from normal to out of control mutated mode. This gives reason to understand why there are types of cancer and why these cells will migrate as the proliferation increases. Addressing how to stop the proliferation, killing the injured cells and telling the body to repair itself is paramount in curing. Yes! Parasites need to be addressed always! I think the way anyone should begin healing anything, is beginning with cleansing the colon, enemas, and/or colonics, and parasite elimination.
“Cancer is a myth?” cancer doesnt exist..In my understanding of how the body works. The entire body works in unison and when we have any type imbalance could that lead to cancer ? I believe most “diseases” are a result of obstructions, usually from inflammation. Toxins, or acids lead to inflammation, which lead to obstructions. It’s the kidney’s job to filter the waste from the lymphatic system. If it isn’t filtering, then the lymph becomes clogged, then cancer could develop in the area. There really isn’t different cancers, like brain cancer, liver cancer, they are all the same thing, all acidic cells.
Achieving Alkalinity: Changing Your pH Balance.
The human must maintain its own perfect pH level in order for its systems to function properly, and this includes keeping these rogue cells from becoming metastatic disease, translating into cancerous tumors in multiple organs. Our ancestors didn’t eat in a way that upset this delicate balance in our bodies.
Anti-inflammatory diet, mostly fruit, cells in our body need fruit sugar to cleanse, and regenerate….meditation, light exercise, deep breathing, eliminate all acidic foods, thoughts, emotions…situations. Attitude plays a huge part! People must believe they will heal. The mind tells the body what to do. It seems people are wanting to take supplements, and all kinds of other things…so I didn’t think a more simple approach would be listened to this…
Adjusting your diet is perhaps the single most important home remedy to relieve the symptoms of acidity. Certain foods are known triggers for acid reflux and with others it may not bother other people.
Common food triggers include:
•citrus fruits and juices
•tomatoes, marinara sauce, and tomato juice
•fried or greasy foods
•fatty foods
•milk chocolate
•onions and garlic
•carbonated soft drinks and water
•caffeinated beverages (even decaf coffee)
•peppermint
•alcohol
Keep a food journal to record what you eat and when, and any accompanying GERD symptoms such as heartburn, difficult swallowing, chest pain, or sore throat. Your journal can help you pinpoint specific triggers and may be useful in determining appropriate mealtimes. Eating smaller meals throughout the day can curb symptoms. Large meals put excess pressure on your stomach, which can weaken your lower esophageal sphincter.
You can also treat acid reflux by adding certain foods to your diet. Antioxidant-rich fruits, such as blackberries, blueberries, and cherries may ease your symptoms. Foods containing vitamin B-6 may be beneficial as well. For example:
•almonds
•spinach
•kale
•beans
•whole grains
Intermittent Fasting, is healing, short term fasts, with an alkaline, mucus-free diet, which is mostly fruits, combined with salads, and some steamed veggies. two Great books are Rational Fasting, and also the Mucus-less Diet Healing System, both by Arnold Ehret. You could include ideas for healing meditations, seeing the cells at work, repairing themselves, and a body full of healing light. Body rolling alsohelps to move stagnant lymph, there are videos on line, you could include a link in your blog…bouncing on a rebounder to move lymph, only 5 min a day is needed.. essential oils in a diffuser (Angel speaks of those in her testimonial)
I introduced you to Candice-Marie Fox, a woman who used the NORI Protocol to heal stage 4 thyroid cancer after surgery and radiation failed her. In this interview you’ll meet Mark Simon, the man who helped her get well. Mark’s background is in neuroscience and biomedical engineering, and he has been studying nutritional science for the last three decades. He is the founder of the Nutritional Oncology Research Institute, developer of the NORI Protocol, a nutritional strategy centered built around starving cancer cells with a methionine-restricted diet. Fun Fact: Cancer cells are dependent on the amino acid methionine to survive.
Can you guess which foods don’t contain methionine? Fruit! Also Many cancer patients I have encounter are afraid to eat fruit because they heard that “sugar feeds cancer.” This interview will provide you with clarity about that misunderstood idea, and details on this healing strategy (see the show notes).
Issueswhentakingthe “Oil” byJakeSamuel: I thought it was worthwhile to discuss and share thoughts on why some people have severe physical issues when they take “the oil.” This is not talked about elsewhere because everyone seems to want to paint a lovely picture of using cannabis oil for healing and give the impression that it’s all about rainbows and lollipops. The science of marijuana is not that.
This medicine is not just physically challenging at times, it’s also emotionally and, yes, spiritually challenging. Anyone who tries to sell you on the idea that it’s a “cake walk,” has either never used the oil or had oil that was potent-less. So, why is the oil giving you symptoms like vomiting, nausea, no appetite and runny stools?
Here’s a handful of possibilities I’ve come up with from real world examples:
1. You THINK you have FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) but you really don’t. Yep. Some oil makers lie. They’ll tell you whatever you want to hear and flat out lie to you, telling you they are making your oil with grain alcohol when they are really dowsing the bud/leaf in naphtha, ISO or nail polish remover. So, you think you’re getting FECO and you’re really getting something that hasn’t been purged correctly and that is water soluble which holds bacteria . Yep. That’ll make you sick. Guaranteed.
2. You have FECO but it was made from a strong Sativa strain or a bunch of Sativa strains. [Your oil should only be made with calming Indicas.] If you want to feel as if you’re heading to the moon and back on a roller coaster that the Devil is steering, take a 1/2 gram of a Sativa oil. Go on. You’ll be grasping the closest thing or person you can find and holding on for dear life. As your tumor grows, becomes sore and hopefully dies!!
Sativa are great to smoke or vape. But using them in oil or edibles is not a great idea if you are the least bit sensitive to cannabis and the psychoactive punch it produces.
3. You took too high a dose from the start. There’s a reason why you need to start with “one rice grain size dose” and move up from there. Even if you are a seasoned cannabis user, this oil is a whole different ballgame. I know long time cannabis smokers who take a couple “drops” of the oil and become terrified from the intensity of the experience.
I realize that some patients need to take high doses more quickly because of their health conditions but it really does pay (even in those dire cases) to start SLOWLY and move up from there. It makes NO sense to shove a gram or more into someone who is already very sick and debilitated and make them vomit all day long. Who does that help?
The stress and trauma from this approach is like swinging a baseball bat at a flea trying to kill it. Start with that single rice grain dose or maybe two and see how that sets with the patient. If that’s no big deal, increase the dose accordingly.
4. You are smack dab in the middle of a “healing crisis” and need to pull back a bit. In the alternative medical world, we know all about “the healing crisis.” Not so much in the conventional medical world. They don’t seem to have any understanding of how the body detoxifies when it’s sick. They seem to forget that all those toxins have to go somewhere. They either are released via the skin, the bowel, the urine, or in extreme cases, vomiting. VOMITING IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE STRIVING FOR.
This is NOT about “purging yourself to better health.” But if you are really sick and toxic, then vomiting is probably going to happen. The more relief you can give your body at this time, the better. When you’re in a healing crisis, hold off on heavy red meat consumption (yes, GRASS FED red meat is fine in moderation when you are healing….don’t buy into all the bogus info on red meat) and get more raw juices with all those healing enzymes into you.
Lots of alkaline water is critical at this stage too, in order to release all that toxic waste from the body. Far infrared saunas or wet saunas are also highly recommended during this stage since that will pull more from the skin, therefore taking the “load” off the bowel.
5. You are taking a drug that is antagonist to the cannabis oil. Boy, is this something to be aware of! Being in the alternative medical world as I am, I forget that *most* people are taking an array of Big Pharma drugs. And I’m quickly learning that a lot of those drugs do NOT compete well with cannabis.
The drugs in question range from anti-anxiety drugs, bipolar meds, anti-psychotic meds, even drugs like Chantix (stop smoking drug) can be a really bad mix with cannabis oil. I hate to say this but my experience is proving out that if a patient is on any of these drugs, it’s best to use the cannabis oil in SMALL dose to wean the patient off the meds and THEN commence EVENTUALLY with the heavier program of 1/2 to full grams or more daily. These types of drugs do nothing to help one get better.
In fact, they usually halt the progress of the oil or subdue it greatly. Besides, cannabis CAN REPLACE most if not all anti-anxiety, depression meds. When you get into psychosis and “bi-polar” (which is still not clearly defined, BTW), it gets murkier. But a lot of these “mental” disorders can be reversed with a hardcore, deeply nutritional diet. Yes, REVERSED, I’ve seen it, it’s not a fantasy, folks.
You can change your mental health by RADICALLY changing your diet. These are five real world examples I’ve dealt with in regard to this question and concern. That’s what I was looking for the healing crisis from cannabis oil. So What is this reaction? Also known as the “Herxheimer Reaction.”
This reaction occurs when the body tries to eliminate toxins at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. The more toxic one’s bodily systems are, the more severe the detoxification, or healing crisis. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process which may be mild or severe.
You may feel worse and therefore conclude that the treatment is not working. But these reactions are instead signs that the treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances. Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one’s condition. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best.
Such reactions are temporary and can occur immediately — or within several days, or even several weeks, of a detox. Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself.
Most people feel somewhat ill during the first few days of a cleanse because it is at that point that your body dumps toxins into the blood stream for elimination. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. In any case, a cleansing & purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state.
SoWhatCausesThisReaction: The healing crisis is the result of every body-system, in concert, working to eliminate waste products through all elimination channels and set the stage for regeneration. Theendresult: old tissues are replaced with new ones. When any treatment or cleansing program causes a large scale die-off of bacteria, a significant amount of endotoxins (toxins within the bacteria itself) are released into the body.
The more bacteria present, and the stronger their endotoxins, the stronger the cleansing reaction. When any treatment or detox causes the organs of the body (particularly the liver, which is a storehouse of drug and poison residues) to release their stored poisons and toxins, a cleansing reaction may occur. Any program, such as fasting, which causes a rapid breakdown of fat cells (which are a storehouse for toxins), can cause a healing crisis as toxins previously lodged in the fat cells are released into the blood stream.
Symptoms: The healing crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling at that time. People often forget the diseases or injuries they have had in the past, but are usually reminded during the crisis.
There are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during a healing crisis, the most common are: Increased joint or muscle pain Diarrhea Extreme fatigue and/or its opposite, restlessness Cramps Headache (believed to be caused by buildup of toxins in the blood) Aches, Pains Arthritic flair up Insomnia Nausea Sinus congestion Fever (usually low grade) and/or chills Frequent urination and/or urinary tract discharges Drop in blood pressure Skin eruptions, including: boils, hives, and rashes.
Also Cold or flu-like symptoms Strong emotions: anger, despair, sadness, fear, etc. Suppressed memories arise Anxiety Mood swings New phobias develop Easing Your Way Through the Healing Crisis: Drink plenty of fresh water (especially water), juices, and herbal teas to flush the body of toxins. Some professionals recommend distilled water as the best. Drink from 2 to 4 quarts(liters) per day. This will help flush the toxins out of your system and speed along the detoxification.
Cannabis purges..toxins come out in four ways… pee…poo… sweat…puke.Pimples usually on the area of the thin skin on your head …. under arm… behind the leg
If you are feeling fatigued, or sleepy, your body is talking to you, and telling you to rest. Be kind to yourself, and get the rest that you need. Symptoms frequently disappear immediately after a good bowel movement, use an enema to provide relief. Forothersymptoms: meditation, EFT, acupuncture or a good massage might be helpful to speed up the healing process, and reduce the discomfort. And, on rare occasions, a reduction of the dosage or temporary cessation may be required.
Important: Always ensure your health by having a thorough medical check up: don’t assume that if you have any of the above symptoms that you are in a healing crisis: you may not be in a healing process, you may have a medical health problem. Does THC feed estrogen + cancer? Yes just like flaxseed..or flax seed oil it promotes growth…. so use a one to one ratio CBD to THC.
…All cancer you want 100% indica….breast cancer anything hormone driven…1 to 1… ratio and weight control..appetite suppressant plants high in THCV…(malawi gold….100% sativa)… don’t use lemon kush or citrus strains to make suppositories … it burns the tissues!!!
A cancer free life style is tough.. I have had doubt also…but every thing I read and learned..says this will be the outcome.. so I kept at it by increasing dosage and achieved the desired outcome. Many people can not commit completely…it is an everyday struggle to eat healthy..no sugar no red meat no fish no chicken … no alcohol … and no dairy… because it causes inflammation & mucus … and a whole lot of other side effects. Also be positive mentally spiritually and physically because what happens … it opens the door to the mind … a door otherwised closed to new possibilities? Thanks Jack Kungel for your wisdom 🙂
In 1999, I was diagnosed with a 10cm malignant tumor on my pancreas. The Doctors gave me three months to live without any hope of survival. I was so ill and in so much pain I didn’t think I would make it to three months.
The Doctors offered me Chemo and Radiation, even though they said it wouldn’t lengthen my life. Since both my parents died from these treatments, that was not an option for me. I did some research to find alternative treatments and discovered a natural healing center called “The Hippocrates Health Institute”. Even though, I was weak and had no hope of survival, I managed to find enough strength to get to West Palm Beach, Florida to the Centre.
When I arrived, Drs. Brian & Anna Maria Clement said that, “If you followed this program to the letter, your body will actually heal from this deadly cancer”. They immediately started me on treatments with the “Hot House” and Far Infrared Technology, and explained how it accelerates the healing process. They also introduced me to the healing power of a lifestyle change, that includes raw vegan plant food and wheat grass juice.
I surprised everyone, especially myself, when I started to get better, as only 3% of people diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer survive more than a year. But, I am still here over 12 years later. And I know that the “Hot House”is a major part of the reason why.
“Our bodies are amazing healing machines. We just need to create the right healing environment and allow it to do its job.”
Traditional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery have been employed in the treatment of sarcomas. It is true that in part, these therapies have in the past helped to reduce the presence of the disease, but by in large, conventional therapies have fallen short of providing the same type of outcomes for sarcomas that have been possible for other forms of cancer.
Sarcomas have high rates of recurrence, suggesting that conventional therapies have been unable to change the ultimate course of the disease. The result is limited survival for many of those diagnosed with different forms of sarcoma. It is also certain in our understanding, categorization, and subsequent treatment of sarcoma is still in its early stages, however, our hope is that as we learn more about sarcoma cancers and how they behave, we may also find better and more effective ways to treat these complex and seemingly resilient diseases.
Many patients and clinicians have begun to explore adjunctive (“complementary”) therapies to assist more conventional treatments in the battle against sarcoma. It is suggested if they are to be considered, adjunctive therapies should be utilized only after careful research has been conducted to ensure such therapies do not interfere with those prescribed by treating oncologists.
Uterine Leiomyosarcoma can be treated using an integrated approach to healing in which multiple modalities are employed to support and activate the immune system. Traditional approaches by themselves have not proven effective for this rare type of cancer, but a comprehensive alternative approach will activate the immune system, improve well–being, and sustain quality of life as the body does what it is designed to do – go after and destroy cancer cells and prevent recurrence of the disease.

The founder of this group, William “Bill” Peeples began his research into this subject late 1996, when his wife, was diagnosed with endometrial stromal sarcoma, stage IV. Bill’s wife was told that her cancer was inoperable and other treatments…. would be ineffective.
Bill began to research what other therapies might be available. After initiation of an alternative therapy, Bill’s wife’s cancer seemed to go into remission in early 1997. Since then, his wife has remained healthy; however, Bill has continued his research in an effort to assist other cancer patients including those with sarcomas. To find other therapies that can assist them in achieving long-term survival.
