Celina couple makes surprise stop on way to birthing center
By Erin Gardner
CELINA – On one of the coldest days of December, a Celina woman gave birth to her third son in the back of a van on the side of U.S. Route 30, just where it crosses into Indiana. Newborn Elijah Clutter takes a nap. His arrival was a little earlier than anticipated – he was born in the back of the family’s van.
Her husband caught their son while her mother and mother-in-law watched from the back seat – and a sheriff’s deputy and highway patrolman gave them all a rare police escort to the intended birthing center.
It’s quite a story Staci and Adam Clutter recounted to The Daily Standard. Their son, Elijah, was born at 6:50 a.m. Dec. 14, weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces and measuring 20 inches.
“He was trying to come prematurely anyway from 23 weeks on,” Staci said. “We were able, with bed rest and everything, to keep him in until 37 weeks and 4 days, which I thought was pretty incredible.”
When her water broke at 4:45 a.m. Dec. 14, she thought she had time to shower before making the more than an hour drive to Holy Family Birth Center in Fort Wayne. Her due date was Dec. 31. Now, she knows she was in active labor, and the contractions were very real.
“We were driving along, and I am feeling really rough,” Staci said. “I’ve had two kids before, but this feels intense. All of a sudden, my body started to actually push him out. It’s not like I’m feeling the urge to push, I’m actively pushing.”
“I told my husband, ‘Pull over, we’re gonna have this baby.’ He opens the side door … and has to yank my pants down. I’m on all fours, and I’m like, ‘He’s coming.’ (Adam said), ‘I don’t see the head. Oh my gosh, there’s the head.’ He was leaning in the car, and on the second push, he caught our son.”

The weather was dangerously cold on Dec. 14. With a low of 1 degree and a high of 15, the wind chill made the air feel like -16 degrees.
After Elijah made his dramatic entrance, Staci, who is a physician assistant at Mercer Health’s urgent care, bundled him up in blankets and, after hearing him cry, put her mouth over his nose to suction any fluid from his airways.
An Indiana highway patrolman luckily arrived on scene after he saw a car stopped with the hazards on.
The patrolman “was very young and definitely didn’t have any kids; he was traumatized,” Staci said and laughed.
When the patrolman made sure everyone was OK, he advised the couple to wait for the ambulance, which was coming from Fort Wayne and was about 30 minutes away. They declined, and the patrolman gave them an escort until the ambulance was closer. After stopping again to have the EMTs check on Staci and Elijah, the couple decided to drive the rest of the way. The patrolman was in front of the Clutters, and a sheriff’s deputy was behind.
“They had lights and sirens going the whole way,” Staci said. “The sheriff in front of us told my husband, ‘You go as fast as you’re comfortable with. I’ll set the pace. At one point, we’re driving 90, and he (the sheriff) had to be driving 100 because he was way ahead of us and had to figure out how to get back to us.”
“She basically rode on the floor in the back of our van, holding Elijah as we’re flying down the highway with our police escort,” Adam said, recounting the day. “We get about 4 minutes away, and our provider calls. Stacy’s yelling, ‘I’m about ready to give birth to the placenta!’ They (say), ‘Tell her to keep it in. Tell her not to deliver it.’ She’s like, ‘I don’t know if I can stop it.'”
Thankfully, Staci delivered the placenta inside the center.
However, getting out of the car and into the center was also difficult.
“Actually getting there was even funnier because we get there and I can’t get out of the van,” Staci said. “I can’t figure out how to get out. My placenta is still inside of me. The umbilical cord is still attached to the baby, and I’m between the back seat and the middle seat, and I can’t get out. They eventually put down the back seat and the midwife and my husband pulled me out the back of the van. I was butt naked with blankets and towels all over me, getting into the wheelchair. Thankfully, both the sheriff and the highway patrolman just conveniently happened to look up as I was coming out.”
When they arrived at the center, birthing personnel told the couple Elijah looked like a normal baby, saying, “He does not look like a baby who was born in the car. He’s completely fine. He’s absolutely normal.’ They let us go home six hours later,” Staci said.

When they came home, the couple’s other two sons – aged 11 and 5 1/2 years old – thought their baby brother was pretty cool.
“They both were very excited about the lights and sirens that we got,” Staci said.
“It was almost too much to really process all of it,” Adam said. “It was just, ‘do’. We’ve got to get this completed and make sure everybody’s good. There wasn’t a lot of time to think through everything.”
Now that everyone is healthy, safe and warm, Staci and Adam both laughed while retelling the unusual birth story to a reporter. Staci is enjoying her time at home with her youngest son, who will turn 3 weeks on Sunday.
“You came under incredible circumstances,” Staci said to Elijah, who could be heard cooing in the background. He will no doubt hear the story many times.

Food pyramid faces scrutiny as Ben Carson reveals why Americans don’t have to eat meat and says Americans have ‘deviated’ from original 1980s nutrition goals by ‘rubber-stamping’ processed foods
The national nutrition advisor speaks with Fox News Digital about the HHS’ recent food pyramid flip, as health officials now prioritize meat and dairy over processed foods and whole grains.
The new food pyramid has been flipped on its head, with HHS officials releasing guidance that prioritizes meat, dairy and vegetables and pushes whole grains to the bottom.
Dr. Ben Carson, USDA’s national advisor for nutrition, health and housing, told Fox News Digital in an interview that dietary guidelines were first proposed in 1980 to inform Americans about healthy eating.
“[The purpose] was to educate the populace about nutrient-rich foods … the things that are helpful to you, the things that are harmful to you. Over the course of time, [we] deviated from those goals,” Carson said. “And [we] started rubber-stamping all of these highly processed foods, these quick things. It has not been good for us.”
“You are what you eat,” Carson said, sharing that Americans should think of their bodies as high-performance vehicles.
“You’re going to put premium gasoline in it, because you want premium performance,” he said. “If you decide to dilute it, it’s not going to go as far or as fast.”
Carson also used the car-fueling example to address those who claim that eating healthy foods is too expensive.
“Maybe the premium gasoline costs a little bit more, but how much does it cost down the road when you have to replace the engine, when you haven’t put the right things into it?” he said. “So we’re really trying to bring some logic and common sense back.”
About 16 to 20 million people, or 4% to 6% of Americans, identify as vegetarians and vegans who eat only plant-based foods, according to the Vegetarian Resource Group.
Carson admitted that he “seldom” eats meat himself and believes he is “reasonably healthy.”
For those concerned the new guidance might lead Americans to eat too much red meat, Carson said, “Instead of thinking about it as too much red meat, let’s look at the overall recommendation — and that is that you eat 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. Now, how you get that protein doesn’t matter. If it’s drinking milk, if it’s eating cheese — as long as you maintain high-performance fuel for your engine.”
The nutrition advisor pointed to “blue zones,” the regions with exceptionally long-lived populations known for a focus on plant-based diets.
“Some people say, you see these skinny people because they’re vegetarians. Have you ever seen a skinny elephant? You know they’re vegetarian,” said Carson.

While the updated dietary guidelines emphasize whole, nutrient-dense foods, Carson cautioned against relying solely on GLP-1s like Ozempic for weight loss.
“All these artificial methods don’t last a very long time. You have to keep taking them, and they’re expensive,” he said.
About one in eight American adults, roughly 12%, have used GLP-1 drugs for obesity and diabetes, with around 6% currently taking them as they rise in popularity, as Fox News Digital previously reported.
A nuanced look at Professor Thomas Seyfried’s metabolic theory
I’m often asked whether a ketogenic diet is appropriate for stage 4 cancer with metastasis, especially in light of Professor Thomas Seyfried’s influential work on cancer as a metabolic disease.
The honest answer is more complex than most social media posts suggest.
What Seyfried gets right
Professor Seyfried has made an important contribution by showing that many cancers rely heavily on fermentation (the Warburg effect) due to dysfunctional mitochondria.
In certain cancers particularly some brain tumours strict therapeutic ketosis can:
Lower glucose
Reduce insulin/IGF-1 signalling
Stress highly glycolytic tumour cells
In those specific contexts, keto can slow tumour growth.
That matters.
Where the story becomes incomplete
Not all cancers behave the same especially in advanced or metastatic disease.
Many late-stage cancers:
• Retain functional mitochondria
• Are OXPHOS-dominant, not glycolysis-dominant
• Can use fatty acids and ketones as fuel
• Exhibit the Reverse Warburg Effect (tumour cells feeding off surrounding stromal cells)
In these cases, ketones may feed the cancer rather than starve it.
Metastatic cancer is metabolically flexible
By stage 4, cancer is often highly adaptable:
• It can switch fuel sources
• It thrives under stress
• It adapts to glucose restriction
• It may become more aggressive when pushed too hard
This is why some patients initially respond to keto and then progress.
The real-world risks of strict keto in stage 4
Worsening weight loss & muscle wasting
Reduced immune resilience
Increased fatigue
Possible tumour adaptation to fat/ketone metabolism
There is no strong clinical evidence that keto alone improves survival in advanced solid tumours.
Even Seyfried acknowledges keto works best as part of a broader metabolic strategy, not as a standalone solution.
As someone who follows only a plant-based diet, I make sure to prioritise protein, especially important when dealing with advanced cancer. I focus on beans, lentils, pulses, soy, seitan, and other plant proteins to maintain muscle mass, support the immune system, and help my body cope with stress. Even while keeping carbs moderate and avoiding excessive sugars, adequate protein is key and it’s completely possible on a plant-based approach.
Noel Watson I try to get enough protein too. Mostly from foods but occasionally from a protein powder drink. Barilla pasta makers have pasta with added protein. Just something to consider once in a while.
I find this to be very accurate. Cancer uses so many things for fuel. Traditional keto cuts off carbohydrates, but at the expense of a lot of fat and protein and methionine, which all can fuel cancer. Veg and fruit are the perfect anti-cancer diet. The loads of phytonutrients compounds, the lower methionine, fat, and even refined carbs is a winning approach.
JoAnne Johnson Evangelista Cancer is incredibly flexible when it comes to fuel glucose, ketones, fats, protein, even methionine so cutting just one source isn’t enough. That’s why a well-planned plant-based approach, rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and phytonutrients, is so powerful.
It naturally limits methionine, saturated fat, and refined carbs, while giving the body antioxidants and immune support all without stressing the patient’s metabolism. This is the kind of metabolic strategy that respects biology rather than following one-size-fits-all rules.
Thomas Seyfried stresses adequate proteins too so I am not sure that would be different. However he also says not more proteins than necessary since the liver converts it to glucose. He also says Keto alone will not work, you also need to add glutamine inhibitors and intermittent fasting. I have a 3c cervix cancer and started on Low GI when I got the diagnosis, however I did not tolerate conventional therapy well.
I noticed the pain from my metastasis disappeared after the first dose when I was also given Keytruda. But I got a full body rash and had to remove it. After the second dose I got the pain back from the metastasis. I then went Keto to lower the inflammatory response, within 24 hrs. the pain had disappeared.
I got in a bad state from my dose 2 chemo, so I had to stop eating twice a day, strict intermittent fasting that TS says is an integral part, I totally agree with you regarding nourishment for the healthy body triumphing starving the cancer when feeling unwell.
After a week of small portions of veggie heavy keto, I plan to start adding back my supplements and intermittent fasting soon. It is a jungle out there of contradicting recommendations, I think all we can do is to cautiously observe our body’s reactions and try to make healthy choices that give the most life energy.
High fiber is often best for cancer patients. Plant fiber, whole grains, beans, nuts. Fermented foods. Avoiding animal products as much as possible, although I actually do consume a lot of low fat or no fat dairy personally (namely 2 percent milk and greek yogurt). I went from “there’s no more we can do for you, you’re times up” stage 4 to “this is a miracle, the cancer is gone” in 8 weeks.
Interesting, Maybe this is better for those who don’t have leaky gut, where the gut is compromised. Plant nutrients are less bio available. Beans have more nutrients than steak but most beans can’t be absorbed by the human gut but all can be that are at stake. In this case the SCD diet – Search may be a better path.
Gut health matters a lot when it comes to absorbing nutrients from plants. Some plant compounds, like lectins or phytates, can reduce absorption if the gut lining is compromised, which is why diets like SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) or GAPS can help “reset” the gut for some people.
That said, there are ways to improve plant nutrient absorption even with a sensitive gut: fermentation, soaking, sprouting, or cooking can break down anti-nutrients and make vitamins and minerals much more bioavailable.
At the end of the day, we all have to try to work out what’s best for ourselves specifically and I have great respect for all the research you have done personally over the last 40 years.
Noel Watson Thank you Noel, anything that breaks down into sugars is a problem for me.
Cooked veg just blocked me up and no matter how much food I ate I still felt I hadn’t eaten anything at all bar a full stomach.
I still have problems with dairy products so I ferment them.
This is the first time my health has improved and I have been able to stay on the diet for 2 years.
I usually only last at best 4 months before all my symptoms come back but on carnivore it’s just continued healing.
I tried to add fruit back and raw unfermented milk back in but that just didn’t work for me.
Some people just need to stop eating high processed denatured foods to gain their health but people with fungal issues and dysbiosis and probably autoimmune disease need to be really strict.
I’m only 105 days since my last carb so it’s still early but I can see the healing taking place slowly. Yes you are right, it’s finding out what works best for you and sticking with it.
It’s sad that money is being made of people suffering from cancer and that we even get it in the first place due to the modern lifestyle shaped by big corporations.
As Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil. Not money, but the love of it.
Loving ourselves, loving others, and loving the planet we live on is the key.
Love means to value and if we all valued others as we do ourselves then we could nearly erritacate disease altogether.
The agricultural system would run according to natural law, loving the planet. The food industry would not produce food that is slowly poisoning us and big pharma would actually be motivated to curing illness rather than managing it for profit.
You are an example of love as you reach out to help others, keep up the great work.
Candace Riegel yes. I know this. Usually comes down to stage and what Dr.s suggest with their treatment plan. What isn’t usually said is how many calories to try to hit and macro breakdown daily. That’s why I mentioned eating the most anti-inflammatory way possible The other day to start.
Mark Allen some people do a plant based keto as well. I’m stage 4 as well and trying to figure out where do I head, I’m doing low carbs, no sugars, been told to do keto, others say better to do more Mediterranean, then you have meats vs veggies or something in between, takes time to see what your body responds well to, not easy
Roy Gutierrez With stage 4 breast cancer, I was on a keto vegan diet for 4 years. Then for the last 8 years I’ve been on a similar diet, but not so strict (more berries than keto, occasional organic eggs, etc). I’ve now survived stage 4 for more than 11.5 years. I give more credit to my IV vitamin C and hyperbaric oxygen treatments than my diet, but I believe my diet has helped.

Julie McFadden who has dedicated her life to caring for terminal cancer patients. She has worked in hospice care for nearly a decade and has been involved in educating and comforting patients and their families about the end-of-life journey. McFadden’s work has been recognized, and she is known for her book, “Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully,” which addresses the emotional aspects of dying and provides practical advice for both patients and caregivers. Her dedication to hospice nursing and her efforts to shift the conversation around end-of-life care have made a significant impact on the field. Sent Home to Die — ProPublica
She documented patients given 3-6 mos to live & defied their prognosis according to a pattern oncologists refused to acknowledge. Patients who lived 10+ yrs after their terminal diagnosis all did the same thing.
They stopped.
Stopped chemo. Stopped radiation. Left the hospital. Chose different therapy and worked to heal their systems.
The ones who followed docs orders = died on schedule.
It was undeniable. Those who followed through with aggressive treatment died in their predicted timeline. Those who quit, changed nothing medically – they just lived. There were spontaneous remission rates 40 times higher. Oncologists dismissed improvements & labeled them “unexplained” statistical anomalies. The nurse concluded that treatment clearly didn’t extend life, it guaranteed a race to death.
Immunology research uncovered the variables: chemotherapy obliterates the immune system, the thing that fights cancer. The drugs kill cancer cells but also squashes your body’s ability to kill future cancer cells (reoccurrence). It’s a tradeoff of short term (possible) tumor reduction for long term immuno collapse. When you hear stories of the cancer coming back with a vengeance, this is ‘part’ of the reason why. The other part is that chemo doesn’t kill cancer stem cells. The tumor load may be eliminated, but there are still cancerous cells lurking, waiting to set up again.
If you don’t do the same kind of research I do, I’ll tell you that the cancer industry profits $200 BILLION annually. Hospitals, oncologists, pharma – entire careers depend on patients in treatment. The ones who quit & survive cannot be studied but the system carries on and keeps selling poison as the cure (& only option).
Now, we have a divide & expect people to take sides: conventional & natural (the medical establishment needs one silenced & the people need them to be integrated). One side trusts doctors completely & follows every protocol because “trust the science” & “doctors know best”. They die on schedule wondering why treatment didn’t work.
The other questions how detonating your immunity to kill cancer makes sense. One group spends their final months in hospitals, away from those they love, getting weaker. The other walks away & sometimes lives with a better quality of life. Both had terminal diagnosis. The difference = one stopped fighting their very own body & let it fend off the disease.
We all have the choice; we’re just not all properly equipped to make informed decisions.
*of course, chemo and radiation are appropriate in some circumstances, but with a supportive plan to regenerate health. Without getting to the root cause and improving healing conditions, the body cannot fully overcome the disease burden. An upgraded approach to cancer is desperately needed. Especially now that the system has created turbo cancers from the jabs they forced on the world.
Carlos Charlie M. Gonzalez We always have choices. Choose to live or die. Choose to take this path of healing or that one of destroying the body’s immune system. Choose to think positively or negatively. Choose to eat this or that… the ONLY thing we have to do in this world is make Choices. Better Choices Better Outcomes.
Victoria L Morales My late husband did “preventative chemo” at first. The cancer came back 5 years later. He refused chemo/radiation this time and only wanted herbs. They gave him 4 months. I kept him around for 4 more years with herbal medicine. But in the end cancer won the battle. I couldn’t afford the fancier “alternative medicine” treatments. But I used every natural protocol I could. He was stubborn and refused to change his diet. Kept eating sugar and fried foods etc. But I have no regrets. I did my best. It was what he wanted.
Author Stephanie Offman McKeith Victoria L Morales it’s certainly not the only solution, but you just can’t go wrong in any situation when you fuel your body and mind appropriately – whether it prolongs life or not – it definitely improves it. Good for you, I remember how much effort you gave
Lisa Brache I wish the alternative hospitals were more clear about treatment, more accessible and affordable. We spent over $80,000 to go to Mexico for my mom. I did see healing take place there in the 3 weeks but, unfortunately, no one who I met there made it. You come back to the US and you’re doomed. Something needs to change. I think there is a lot of corruption when it comes to cancer treatments. Even on the alternative side of things. Taking advantage of desperate people. 💔
Megan Hall-Frump I love this…!! I have a cousin right now, younger than me, who is a very healthy guy, diagnosed with stage 4 colon… he’s opting for all the medical stuff and it’s killing me. He had his port put in on Monday this week… 💔😭 I’m praying God will turn this around- that he will see the corruption before it’s too late!! It’s so incredibly hard to sit back and watch those we love go down a path we can’t support!! I’ve tried getting him to reach out to you.
Others have tried talking to him. He’s dead 😓 set on this, and it’s breaking my heart! He’s so smart too! We have had conversations in the past about a lot…!! I WISH he’d had a wake up… 😭 5 kids, a wife… a lot of life before him!! He’s only going to be 46 in July!!

If you’re one of the 60,000 people who live in Greenland, walking your dogs on the beach in winter is a very specific experience. From May until late July, Greenland experiences 24 hours of daylight. In spite of that, there is so much about the world’s largest island that remains a mystery.
And despite the fact that 80 percent of Greenland is under a 1.6-mile-deep icecap, the place is currently hot. Since his return to office in 2025, President Trump has made it very clear he wants the vast frozen land to become part of the US.
So eager is Trump to take it over that, according to the White House this week, “utilizing the US military [is] an option.” But given that almost the entirety of the frozen island is uninhabitable, why?
“Greenland is key for technology, security and space exploration,” Tom Dans, who served as commissioner for the United States Arctic Research Commission during the first Trump administration, told The Post.
“Trump has a long-term perspective on this region.”
The only problem is that the island — which has a population of just 60,000, a quarter of whom live in the capital city, Nuuk — is already taken.

Both Denmark and EU members have been firm in saying the land is not for sale, and they wouldn’t react too well to a military invasion — although what they would potentially do about it remains a question mark.
The US already has one military base in Greenland, but Trump wants it all. Although he initially floated military action, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has downplayed that, saying the US would prefer to work through diplomacy with Denmark and Greenland and buy out the land.
As Trump himself put it aboard Air Force One, “Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.”

Justina Budginaite-Froehly, a nonresident senior fellow of the Atlantic Council, explained that the island’s location is “strategic,” particularly for monitoring adversaries such as China and Russia.
“If you are controlling the territory, you can, with new technology, build sensors there; Greenland is a huge platform for observing,” said Budginaite-Froehly.
“You can build infrastructure to establish situational awareness of that area and project further power.

Speaking on Air Force One, President Trump declared, “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.” Pool
Budginaite-Froehly also noted the “Greenland, Iceland and UK gap,” two vast expanses of sea between the three countries, through which Russia can launch, via its northernmost ports, nuclear submarines into the waters off Europe or the US.
“The submarines can enter the Atlantic. That’s a huge danger for the US, for NATO and for Europe,” she warned.
Greenland is also important for monitoring threats from the air. US military stronghold Pituffik Space Base (originally known as Thule Air Base) has been in Greenland since the Cold War, constructed during the summers of 1951 and 1952.
Justina Budginaite-Froehly, nonresident senior fellow of the Atlantic Council, said, “Most importantly, [there] is the strategic location of the island. [Trump] has signaled that he wants to improve the national security of the United States,”
It serves three purposes: missile warning, missile defense and space surveillance. Radar systems there operate 24/7, according to Space.com.
That is for good reason: According to Otto Svendsen, as reported on CNBC, the speediest path for a Russian ballistic missile to hit the US would be to send it over the North Pole and Greenland.
“Security — both surface and subsea, space, communications — [presents] any number of addressable needs,” said Dans. He added that Greenland is “a true middle ground between Earth and space.”

Aside from defense, Greenland is thought of as a top-notch place for power-hungry data centers, which require lots of cooling — making icy terrain a perfect place for them.
“Greenland is white space for American-led tech innovation, literally and figuratively,” claimed Dans.
Greenland is “literally the best place in the world for data centers,” Drew Horn, formerly a Trump official who focused on energy, agreed. He told Fox News, “It’s just a huge success story waiting to happen.
“I think we have tons of investment that’s going to build it up in the next few years.”
On Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, Donald Trump’s famous private jet, a Boeing 757-200 that has been designated as Trump Force One, landed at Nuuk International Airport (GOH) in Nuuk, Greenland.

Donald Trump Jr. was promised a large crowd of Greenlanders when he landed at the Nuuk airport Tuesday. Instead, he got, at best, a handful of fans for his unofficial visit.
While aboard “Trump Force One” to visit Greenland, Sergio Gor, a Trump ally and the incoming director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, told Trump Jr. a significant number of people would show up.
“The whole town is showing up, I think, at the airport,” Gor said in a teaser clip of Art of the Surge, an Apple TV docu series on Donald Trump’s resurgence and presidential victory.
Hours later, upon arriving in Greenland, it appeared just a few locals showed up to greet Trump Jr. and his team.
A clip of the group arriving showed a small gathering of people outside of the Nuuk airport, waving to Trump Jr. One video, taken from a nearby road, showed a few locals getting out of their vehicles to take photos of “Trump Force One” landing.

A video taken inside the airport showed 20 or so Greenlanders waiting at the terminal for the U.S. president’s eldest son. By the time Trump Jr. and his team departed from the terminal, it appeared more locals had joined the welcome crowd, but it had remained relatively reserved.
On Tuesday, the president-elect said he would not rule out using the U.S. military to take the country. Greenland Premier Mute Egede and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have repeatedly said the island is “not for sale.”
“Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom,” Egede said in December.
Trump Jr.’s short trip was considered a personal visit, not official business. Greenland representatives said they would not meet with him. The president-elect’s son said the purpose of the trip was to “talk to people and see what they think about America.”
Local news outlets noted there were “several” supporters who showed up wearing MAGA merchandise but most were “curious citizens” who wanted to witness the fascinating moment.
A source familiar with the trip told The Hill that Trump Jr.’s visit was “to shoot some fun video content for podcasting.”

Greenland is also rich in rare earth minerals, which are key for manufacturing goods in the high-tech world we live in. They are essential components for cellphones, TVs, computers, radar, sonar, jet engines, X-ray tubes, lasers, military guidance systems and high-strength magnets.
Large deposits of those rare earth minerals are in China, which has previously tightened access to them as leverage in its 2025 tariff fight with the US. The US would clearly benefit from not needing access to them anymore.
“Trump is a real estate guy,” Clayton Allen, head of practice at Eurasia Group, which focuses on political risk, told CNBC.
“Greenland is sitting on some of the most valuable real estate in terms of economic advantage and strategic defense for the next three to five decades.”

Global warming is also making ice less of an issue, as Greenland becomes increasingly valuable as a site for digging up the critical minerals — as well as capitalizing on the expected, but not yet viable, Transpolar Sea Route, a future shipping route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, via the center of the Arctic Ocean.
“Russia is very interested in building the Sea Route,” said Budginaite-Froehly. “And China is participating in this. It would shorten the shipping time between Europe and Asia.
“Russia is, of course, only talking about civil shipping and trade. But there is no doubt that it is also about more. Very quickly, it can become military.”
It’s also worth noting that Trump is not the only president to put Greenland on his wish list. During World War II, when Nazi Germany occupied Demark, the US military actually occupied Greenland. Remnants of America’s presence are still evident in the island’s infrastructure.
After the war, in 1946, President Harry Truman put in a secret bid to buy Greenland for $100 million in gold and a piece of Alaska. The deal, which was rationalized with the hope of protecting America from the Soviet Union’s strategic bombers, never came together.
This photo was taken in a season where my body was under attack, but my faith was being refined. I had lost my hair, my certainty, and so much control — but I never lost God’s hand holding mine through it all.
Cancer tested my strength, but it also deepened my trust. On the days I felt weak, God was strong. On the days fear whispered lies, faith reminded me who was truly in control. This smile isn’t denial of the battle — it’s evidence of God’s grace carrying me through it.
Scripture says, “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.”
That became my prayer, my posture, and my promise.
If you’re facing a diagnosis, heartbreak, or a season you don’t understand, know this: God is still writing your story. He is near to the brokenhearted, faithful in the fire, and present in every step forward — even the hard ones.
Hold on. Trust Him. Keep the faith.
Your miracle may look different than you imagined — but God is still good.
I have chosen this year to share my story because I want to give those HOPE and to offer up a mighty prayer. If you are going thru something please place a and I will join you in prayer! I will sit with you in silence and pour my heart out to the good Lord with you!
Interesting you started your blog in 2011 the same year I was diagnosed.
I don’t believe in coincidence. I look for signs.
Yep I did all the things the “Drs told me to do” chemo/radiation and the cancer was still there afterwards so I called my home teacher and said I need a healing blessing and that was the day I was cancer free! God is so good and in Jesus name and my faith I was healed.
When my cancer treatments started Nov 1st 2021 my aunt came to me and swore about this water (kangen) and told me to drink as much of it as I could and I did. I know it helped with my immune system and years prior (2008) I had read the water study by Masaru Emoto and what the bleep down the rabbit hole of quantum physics, however it was the healing blessing in Jesus name that removed every cancer cell in my body. https://www.facebook.com/reel/564394426171932
My Testimony — Faith Was My Choice
This is my story—but it is not the only way God moves.
From the moment I was diagnosed with cancer, God was with me.
Before I ever entered the ER, He had already gone before me. As a classmate drove me that day, he prayed over me—and the words he spoke came directly from my patriarchal blessing. Things he could not have known. God was speaking to me personally in that moment, reminding me that I was seen, known, and held.
Throughout my journey, God continued to speak—to my heart, through prayer, through quiet reminders of His promises.
One moment I will never forget was the day I lost my hair. My eldest daughter was shaving what little remained, and as each strand fell, I heard the Lord gently remind me:
“I know every hair on your head.”
Just as He cares for the birds of the air, He was caring for me.
Even in loss, I was not forgotten.
When I reached the final stage of treatment, the doctors told me the cancer had shrunk—but it was still there. I knew I could not endure treatment again. So I asked for a healing blessing. And in the name of Jesus Christ, my cancer was removed.
There was no residue.
No remaining tissue.
It was gone.
A miracle.
You truly shine from the inside out! This photo captures your radiant energy beautifully.
I share this not to say this is how your story must look, but to say: God is still God in every story.
What carried me through my hardest days—alongside God’s presence—was my attitude.
I believe deeply that we are given a choice. Even when God is walking with us, we choose whether we will hear Him, trust Him, and believe His promises.
I had moments where fear tried to take over—but I chose faith.
I chose to believe that God’s word was true.
I chose hope when fear was easier.
My desire to live was greater than my desire to die.
I wanted to see my three children grow up—but even then, I surrendered the outcome to God. I placed my life fully in His hands and trusted His will for me, whatever that might be.
Today, I walk cancer-free by the power of prayer and the authority in the name of Jesus Christ. And that same Jesus walks with me every single day.
If your story looks different than mine, please know this:
You are not lost.
You are not alone.
You are not incomplete.
Your story is YOURS
When you pray and ask with a humble heart you shall receive abundantly! My cup runneth over, I have more than enough to meet my needs and because my cup is continuously filled and overflowing I too can share with others.
How do we know when our cups are overflowing?
When all of your needs have been met and more is still coming and we share with others the flow keeps flowing as God knows you are doing well with His abundant blessings, more will come to you as you have a grateful, humble, and charitable heart. It is so!
I drank from this cup and received the blessing of abundance with an open heart, knowing that I share with others abundantly and when I go to take another drink from this ever flowing cup it will be overflowing again. This is know!
I trust God’s timing and blessings in all forms.
I recall many times in my life when I was struggling financially as a single mother raising 3 children and in college. More money was going out than I could produce on my own. Then I met another single mother with 2 smaller children and went to her apartment and saw that they literally had nothing, no beds to sleep on, no kitchen table to eat on, they had bags of clothing and some food and a roof over their heads.
Some may say that was enough, but my heart was not satisfied with what I saw. I went home and I looked at what my children and I had…. We had 2 kitchen tables, 3 living room sets, each person had their own beds, we had food in the fridge and a garage full of even more items. It was then that I realized the abundance in my own life and it touched my heart so deeply that I went back over to this single mother of 2 and told her please come to my home with a truck and I will give you what you need because I have been given much more than my own family needs…. I too shall give.
I learned something so powerful from this. My thoughts were on the lack of money alone and yes abundance comes in the form of money but it also comes in the form of so much more. I have abundant health, wealth, friends, family, material items, kindness, knowledge, resources, love and so much more. Even when we think we have little, if we look a bit deeper we realize we have already been blessed with so much and we lack nothing! Mei-lan | Streaming Source Energy | Sound Healing
A journey from decades of unexplained illness to healing and helping others
Early Years: A Tick Bite and 20 Years Without Answers
Search results show that Dr. Christine Arseneau was bitten by a tick in her youth, but she did not receive a Lyme diagnosis until 20 years later. During those two decades, she struggled with a long list of unexplained symptoms that didn’t fit neatly into conventional medical explanations.
She describes this period as filled with confusion and frustration—mysterious health issues that persisted without a clear cause.
The Turning Point: Finally Getting a Diagnosis
Receiving a Lyme diagnosis was a major revelation. It connected the dots between years of pain, fatigue, and other chronic symptoms that had disrupted her life.
Once diagnosed, she made healing her “full‑time job,” diving into gut health, functional medicine, and mindfulness practices to rebuild her health.
The Long Road: Progress, Setbacks, and Mind‑Body Work
Even after years of effort, she still faced persistent pain, exhaustion, and mental fatigue. She describes feeling disempowered and wondering whether her life would always be defined by Lyme disease.
This led her to explore deeper healing modalities, including:
Mind‑body medicine
Subconscious mindset work
Functional medicine approaches
Lifestyle changes focused on sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and gut health
Her story emphasizes that healing from chronic Lyme is rarely linear.
Transformation: From Too Fatigued to Walk Her Dog → Running Multiple Businesses
Another source highlights how severe her symptoms once were—she was too fatigued to walk her dog around the block. Over time, she rebuilt her health to the point where she now runs multiple businesses, including Lyme Support, founded in 2019.
Her programs help people with chronic Lyme reduce overwhelm, improve energy, and regain control of their health.
Her Mission Today
Dr. Arseneau now works as:
A mindset mentor
A functional medicine certified health coach
A pharmacist (Pharm.D.)
A chronic illness advocate
She focuses on helping others navigate the complex, often overwhelming world of chronic Lyme disease, offering structured programs and mind‑body tools to support healing.

Long‑Form Narrative
Christine (“Tina”) Arseneau’s story begins long before she ever heard the words Lyme disease.
As a young person, she was bitten by a tick, but no one recognized the significance.
Over the next 20 years, she lived with a growing constellation of symptoms—fatigue that felt bone‑deep, pain that moves unpredictably through her body, and cognitive fog that made even simple tasks feel monumental. Doctors offered explanations, but none of them fit. She learned to push through, to excel academically, to build a career as a pharmacist, all while carrying an invisible burden.
When she finally received a Lyme diagnosis two decades after the tick bite, it was both a relief and a reckoning. She finally had a name for what she had been fighting, but she also realized how much healing lay ahead. She threw herself into recovery with the same determination that had carried her through years of uncertainty. She worked on her gut health, explored functional medicine, practiced mindfulness, and made lifestyle changes that touched every part of her daily routine.
But healing wasn’t linear. Even after years of effort, she still faced exhaustion so profound she couldn’t walk her dog around the block. She felt discouraged, even defeated at times, wondering whether this was simply her new reality. Her turning point came when she began integrating mind‑body medicine and subconscious mindset work.
She realized that healing wasn’t just physical—it required addressing the emotional and neurological patterns shaped by years of illness. As she shifted her internal landscape, her body followed. Her energy returned. Her resilience grew. Her identity expanded beyond “patient.”
In 2019, she founded Lyme Support, transforming her personal journey into a mission. Today, she helps others navigate the overwhelming world of chronic Lyme, offering tools, structure, and hope. Her story is not just about surviving illness—it’s about reclaiming a life and using that hard‑won wisdom to lift others.

Story Told in Her Voice
If I had known that one tick bite would shape the next 20 years of my life, I would have paid attention. But I didn’t. I just knew that something felt “off,” and no one could tell me why.
I pushed through the fatigue, the pain, the fog. I built a career. I tried to live normally. But inside, I felt like I was slowly unraveling.
When I finally got a Lyme diagnosis—20 years after that bite—it was like someone finally turned on the lights. I wasn’t imagining it. I wasn’t weak. I was sick.
Healing became my full‑time job. I worked on my gut, my sleep, my stress, my mindset. I tried everything. And still, some days I couldn’t even walk my dog around the block.
The real shift happened when I started working with my mind and nervous system. Mind‑body medicine changed everything. I stopped fighting my body and started listening to it.
Today, I’m healthier, stronger, and more grounded than I ever imagined. And I’ve turned my journey into my mission. Through Lyme Support, I help others find clarity, confidence, and hope—because no one should have to navigate this alone.
Here’s a polished, ready‑to‑record script for a video or podcast episode about Dr. Christine (Tina) Arseneau’s Lyme journey. It’s written in a warm, narrative style that works for audio or on‑camera delivery.
If you want a shorter, punchier, or more dramatic version, I can shape it any way you like.
SCRIPT: “The Long Road Back — Dr. Christine Arseneau’s Lyme Story”
[Opening — gentle music fades in]
Host: Today’s story begins with something small. A tick bite. A moment so ordinary, so forgettable, that it didn’t seem worth thinking about.
But for Dr. Christine — Tina — Arseneau, that tiny moment would shape the next twenty years of her life.
[Segment 1: The Unseen Beginning]
Host: As a young person, Tina was active, ambitious, and full of plans. But slowly, quietly, her body began to change.
Fatigue crept in first — not the kind you sleep off, but the kind that settles deep into your bones. Then came the pain. The brain fog. The sense that something was wrong, even when every test said she was “fine.”
For two decades, she lived in that space: symptoms without answers, effort without relief.
[Segment 2: The Diagnosis]
Host: Twenty years after that tick bite, Tina finally received a name for what she’d been fighting: Lyme disease.
The diagnosis was a turning point — not because it fixed everything, but because it finally made sense of everything.
She threw herself into healing with the determination of someone who had waited far too long to be understood.
Gut health. Functional medicine. Mindfulness. Lifestyle changes. She tried it all.
But healing wasn’t linear. Some days, she was too exhausted to walk her dog around the block.
[Segment 3: The Shift]
Host: The real transformation began when Tina discovered mind‑body medicine and subconscious mindset work.
She realized that healing wasn’t just physical — it was emotional, neurological, and deeply personal.
As she rewired her relationship with stress, fear, and her own body, something shifted. Her energy returned. Her resilience grew. Her identity expanded beyond “patient.”
She wasn’t just surviving anymore. She was rebuilding.
[Segment 4: Turning Pain Into Purpose]
Host: In 2019, Tina founded Lyme Support — a space for people who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or lost in the maze of chronic Lyme.
She became a pharmacist, a functional medicine certified health coach, and a mentor for people who need more than a prescription — they need guidance, clarity, and hope.
Today, she runs multiple businesses and supports clients around the world. Her mission is simple: No one should have to navigate chronic Lyme alone.
[Closing]
Host: Tina’s story is a reminder that healing is rarely a straight line. It’s messy. It’s frustrating. It’s slow. But it’s possible.
From twenty years of unanswered symptoms to exhaustion so deep she could barely walk her dog to becoming a guide for others on the same path…
Her journey proves that even in the darkest chapters, transformation is still possible.
Host: Thank you for listening. If Tina’s story resonated with you, share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that healing is not only possible — it’s worth fighting for.
[Music fades out]
If you want, I can also create:
a short 30‑second trailer version,
a TikTok/Reels script,
a more emotional or more clinical tone,
or a script written as if Tina herself is narrating.
Because you understand the why’s, how’s, and will probably get good and angry by the time you’re done. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone going through cancer, or even their family members (would hit a lot of nerves you may not want to touch during times of emotional stress), but when you’re loved ones are healthy and you feel like putting up a good fight, this will certainly give you something to go by.
I try to read books with an open mind, especially those pertaining to my industry. I feel this was a balanced, fair representation of what is going on in our health care industry, especially as relates to cancer. In and of itself, cancer is scary. Combined with the health industry, you want to bury your head.
The “war on cancer” is being lost and this book gives the primary reasons why. The current treatments – mainly chemotherapy and radiation – are largely ineffective and so toxic people often die from their treatment rather than their disease. There’s been nothing new from the research community in decades, and the number of cancer victims keeps rising.
Ralph W. Moss worked at one of the most prestigious cancer research and treatment facilities in the US – Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York. He quit when that institution deliberately misled the press and public about test results for a promising treatment. That treatment was the much-maligned laetrile (vitamin B-17) that was finally banned by the FDA and its proponents forced underground.
Kanematsu Sugiura (1890 – October 21, 1979 in White Plains, New York) was a cancer researcher who spent his career at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. A pioneer in cancer research”,[1] he completed over 250 papers before his death. Sugiura received a number of awards and prizes throughout his life, and retired from the center in 1962.[2]
Interestingly, Moss reports that Sloan-Kettering’s most respected researcher, Kanematsu Sugiura, stood by the efficacy of laetrile until his death. The Cancer Industry – Search Videos with the with a bias toward those methods that are the favorites of their financial backers, even to the point of disregarding their own researchers, as they did with Dr. Sugiura.
He is perhaps best known for his work on laetrile, a controversial alternative cancer treatment, which he was convinced had a palliative effect on certain mice tumors. The report that was released by Sugiura of his findings of the experiment are as follows: The results clearly show that Amygdalin (Laetrile) significantly inhibits the appearance of lung metastasis in mice bearing spontaneous mammary tumors and increases significantly the inhibition of the growth of the primary tumors…. Laetrile also seemed to slightly prevent the appearance of new tumors…. The improvement of health and appearance of the treated animals in comparison to controls is always a common observation…. Dr. Sugiura has never observed complete regression of these tumors in all his cosmic experience with other chemotherapeutic agents.[1]
Laetrile controversy
In 1972, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center board member Benno Schmidt convinced the hospital to test laetrile in order to assert its ineffectiveness “with some conviction”.[3] Sugiura found that laetrile inhibited secondary tumors in mice, without destroying the primary tumor, but in a blind test was unable to conclude that laetrile had anticancer activity.
The initial positive results were not published because, in the words of Chester Stock, Sugiura’s supervisor, “it would have caused all kind of havoc.” Nevertheless, they were leaked in 1973, causing a stir. Consequently laetrile was tested on 14 tumor systems, and a Sloan-Kettering press release concluded that laetrile showed no beneficial effects.[3]
Three other researchers were unable to confirm Sugiura’s results. Mistakes in the Sloan-Kettering press release were highlighted by a group of laetrile proponents, led by Ralph W. Moss, former public affairs official of Sloan-Kettering hospital, who was fired when he announced his membership in the group. These mistakes were considered inconsequential, but Nicholas Wade in Science noted that, “even the appearance of a departure from strict objectivity is unfortunate.”[3]
Dr. Francisco Contreras serves as director, president and chairman of the Oasis of Hope Hospital. A distinguished oncologist and surgeon, Contreras is renowned for combining conventional and alternative medical treatments with emotional and spiritual support to provide patients with the most positive treatment experience possible.
Contreras in a past interview with (Dr Carl O. Helvie) – Cancer Compass An Alternate Route told him that in his Mexican Clinic. Laetrile is one of his most beneficial for stage 4 cancer. Although Carl told me in the past that he would recommend 3000 mg of Laetrile until the cancer goes dormant then for maintenance consume the bitter apricot seeds.
The results of all of the studies were published together in the Journal of Surgical Oncology.[4] The medical staff at Sloan-Kettering had a bias toward chemotherapy, since their Board of Directors included corporate bigwigs whose business interests benefited from chemo profits, which are enormous.
Another promising treatment, Hydrazine sulfate, suffered the same fate as laetrile, even though its backers had considerable success with it. Unlike chemo, which generally makes the patient sicker, hydrazine sulfate works by building the patient’s strength.
It was the result of a logical deduction, arising from the fact that cancer patients often die of “cachexia,” a term that literally means “wasting away.” Hydrazine sulfate is an anti-cachexia agent. It works with the patient’s own resistance to restore health. What really doomed these two approaches to cancer treatment is that both are natural substances and their use in cancer treatment is part of a nutritional approach.
Drug companies cannot patent anything natural or profit from nutritional therapy as they can from chemical substances which they alone control through patents. Laetrile is a naturally-occurring substance found in many foods, including apricots. Hydrazine sulfate is a very cheap substance that is readily available. Moss also examines in detail the treatment of William Coley (Coley’s Toxin) Dr. Lawrence Burton, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, Linus Pauling and vitamin C, and Virginia Livingston with her germ theory.
All of these people achieved some success, but their methods were rejected by the orthodox cancer establishment. Moss does not suggest that there is a formal conspiracy to suppress alternate treatments, but he does suggest that the organizations that control the direction of cancer treatment, whether government agencies, private companies, or research and treatment centers,
Ralph Moss does an excellent job documenting the fraud and deception that has been going on in healthcare for years. This is a must read for cancer patients and anyone looking to educate themselves about the truth concerning the “business with disease!” Millions of people are dying needlessly due to the war on information going on in this country.
There are a number of alternative healing therapies that work so well and cost so little when compared to conventional treatment, that Organized Medicine, the Food & Drug Administration, and their overlords in the Pharmaceutical Industry (The Big Three) would rather the public not know about them.
The reason is obvious: alternative, non-toxic therapies represent a potential loss of billions of dollars to allopathic medicine and drug companies. The Big Three have collectively engaged in a medical collusion for over 70 years to influence legislative bodies at both the federal and state levels.
The ultimate objective of which has been, and still is, to produce regulations that encourage the use of drug medicine while simultaneously creating restrictive, controlling mechanisms (licensing, government approval, etc.) also designed to limit and stifle the availability of non-drug, alternative modalities. If your goal is to empower yourself with life-saving knowledge, “The Cancer Industry” is for you.
Blending cutting-edge scientific research with useful messages about personal responsibility and prosperity, Cracking the Cancer Code is a groundbreaking handbook which will help you understand and apply the principles of abundant health.
Dr. Matthew J. Loop provides a brief overview of the nature and causes of cancer while discussing its common treatments, then elaborates on the various external and environmental factors that contribute to its development.
He emphasizes the tenets of proper nutrition, and investigates the environmental hazards that people unwittingly expose themselves to on a daily basis. Dr. Loop also examines internal factors-thoughts, feelings, and disposition-and the role they ultimately play in physical health.
Shattering commonly held beliefs about the nature and causes of cancer, Dr. Loop’s Cracking the Cancer Code – Search Videos gives back what many facing the disease feel they have lost: a sense of their own power.
Prosperity and abundance, in the form of health, manifests itself from the inside out. Cracking the Cancer Code is an easy-to-understand and comprehensive reference guide that will help anyone diagnosed with cancer discover the path to empowerment and optimal health.
Was a former bank loan officer turned champion bodybuilder when cancer changed her life in 2017.
Michelle Mecca, Stage 4 cancer patient; battling for 8 years with grit. Mother, wife, daughter. Michelle Mecca was given 12 to 18 months to live in 2021 when breast cancer spread to her brain.
“When I did my last competition, my last show — I had breast cancer and didn’t know it,” Mecca said. “I learned not only did I have breast cancer, but an aggressive form. It went from my breast to my lymph nodes in a matter of weeks.”
By the time I was diagnosed, I was stage 3.
Mecca had been keeping up with annual mammograms and living a healthy lifestyle with no risk factors.
“I was up on my mammograms. I did everything I was supposed to do. But I’m living proof that cancer does not discriminate,” she said.
Chemotherapy stripped away her strength and hair over four months, followed by radiation in a year-long treatment process.
After a year and a half of treatment, Mecca received another diagnosis in 2021.
“They told me the cancer had spread to my brain. They gave me twelve to eighteen months to live,” she said.
Four years have passed since that terminal diagnosis.
Mecca continues movement and exercise even during chemotherapy treatments.
“Any sort of movement helps you process chemo more efficiently. Sometimes you’ve got to try to outrun it — so that’s how I do it. I outrun the chemo… and I laugh,” she said.
She spends time outdoors in what she calls her meditation sanctuary and emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy.
“You’ve got to be your own advocate.
“One of the biggest reasons I’m still here is because I pushed. I asked questions. I didn’t settle for easy answers,” Mecca said.
Mecca visits her oncologist every three weeks and takes dozens of medications. Her husband serves as her caregiver.
“My husband is my caregiver… my biggest cheerleader, my biggest fan, my biggest source of support and humor,” she said.
When given the terminal diagnosis, Mecca said she realized there was more love she wanted to give.
“You cling to the people who love you, and you love them back. You take nothing for granted,” she said.
Mecca said her refusal to believe the cancer will return or kill her keeps her going.
“I will not die from cancer,” she said.
Michelle Mecca, married Scranton native Daniel Mecca in Jacksonville Beach, Florida in 2021.
Michelle was a successful commercial loan officer in Tallahassee, Florida when she was diagnosed with breast cancer eight years ago at the age of 42. Her specific cancer, Stage 3 HER 2 positive, is a very aggressive form of breast cancer. Four years ago the cancer spread to her brain and she is now considered to be at Stage 4.
Dan Mecca is a 1986 graduate of Bishop Hannan High School and a 1990 graduate of Marywood University. He worked for FOX56 in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre DMA Ironically Michelle had taken excellent care of her health for all of her and for their parent company for 20 years before continuing his broadcast career in Tallahassee. When he met Michelle in Florida she was cancer free for a year and half. Six months after the couple’s engagement, her breast cancer metastasized to her brain. Four days later they married in a private ceremony in Jacksonville Beach.
Ironically Michelle had taken excellent care of her health for all of her life. She was a bodybuilder, and had each of her mammograms on time. The only connection was a paternal grandmother who had breast cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, her sons were ages 11 and 15 and her stepson was age 10.
Michelle had experienced blood coming from her nipple and then, two weeks later, discovered a lump in her breast. She also had a golf ball size lump in her armpit, a sign that the cancer had spread very quickly to her lymph nodes.
By the time she had a surgical biopsy, the cancer had spread rapidly.
Michelle’s treatments included a double mastectomy, a skull biopsy (which turned out to be negative) , six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy which caused her to lose her hair. She also had an additional chemo for Her2 + cancer.
As her cancer had spread, a significant tumor in her brain was found. Her next set of procedures included a Gamma Knife treatment to her brain, more chemotherapy (four + years of the same chemo since re-diagnosis), Infusion Chemotherapy every three weeks, an awake craniotomy to diagnosis the swelling in her brain, more Gamma Knife radiation and physical therapy to learn how to walk again.
One fact Michelle wishes she knew before having cancer is how much fear is involved when facing treatment. “It is all so hard on the body,” she said. “I also had a big realization or discovery of the fact that you never know what someone is really, truly, going through.
Now being at Stage 4, I face fear of dying every day.
I was told four years ago that I would have only 12-18 more months.
I am now told it will come back–it is just a matter of time. Every day is different.
I used to be a bodybuilder so I was in the best shape of my life when I was initially diagnosed.
I have never stopped working out, even when going through chemo, with no hair, and even after a craniotomy. I am in the gym six days a week. My family is a huge support, but especially my husband Dan who is there every single moment to help me get through the horrible, scary moments that I frequently have.
My children also help to keep me positive because they fuel me with determination to continue fighting to stay alive. I joined a breast cancer support group that was amazing and gave me lots of care that I needed including transportation, emotional support and meals during recovery.
I would advise anyone who is diagnosed to not quit moving.
Walk or go to the gym; movement is so good to help with the chemo. Ask for help, talk to people who have been through it. Try not to be afraid. Most cancers can be treated and put in remission. Listen to your doctors, do everything they tell you to do. Do not substitute alternative care for medical care.
I would advise well-meaning friends and family to not mention terrifying stories or accounts of people who have died of cancer. Do not say ‘let me know if you need anything.’ Of course we need things, but we will not ask! You can clean their house, bring them flowers, make them laugh, send them gifts or give them rides. Give them things that will be useful or hopeful. Don’t wait for them to ask for it,” she advised.
Remember to get your mammograms.
The biggest piece of advice I can offer is to advocate for yourself! Do not be afraid to ask questions, push for quicker results and answers and seek second opinions. It is your body, and you are the only one responsible for it. Always fight for your health, and not just for life but for a good life.
Today, the couple lives in Chapin, South Carolina. Before each of her scans they visit the same chapel to pray.
Stories of Spiritual Healing: Becoming Well is a collection of 41 vignettes about different types of spiritual healing. The author, Kwang-hee Park, is a chaplain, counselor, adjunct professor, and Oriental medicine care provider who shares some of her own experiences as well as incidents people have shared with her (changing the names of the storytellers). Each vignette is preceded by a Bible verse and followed by queries to direct discussion or personal contemplation, ending with a short prayer.
Park and her husband are members of Orange Grove Meeting in Pasadena, Calif., and are also both certified spiritual directors through Stillpoint Center for Christian Spirituality. In the book, she defines healing as “the process of recovering from wounds” and “experiencing the energy of life again.” She notes that healing leads to compassion.
The tales cover a wide range of topics, from loss of direction in life to dealing with the challenges of infertility, overwork, and aging. Each story presents a different perspective on spiritual healing, while highlighting the importance of prayer in the healing process. The stories are plain, uncluttered, and at first may seem simplistic but, in fact, act as valuable springboards to generate thought and contemplation.
In the story “Caroline Discerns How to Prioritize Her Work,” Park employs a mystery narrative to explore the moment in life when one needs to adjust priorities and rediscover one’s life path. In a more everyday story, “How Can I Find Something That is Very Dear to Me Again?” Steven loses a bag with valuable notes for a class he is taking. His seeking of these illustrates the power of prayer and perseverance as he recovers his lost notes through divine guidance. Moving to the end of life, “The Common Plot” offers a poignant moment when a non-Quaker is deeply moved by a Quaker burial service, witnessing the laying to rest of a feminist and activist friend’s ashes in a common plot. This story invites readers to move beyond ego as they ponder their own death and burial.
The power of these stories comes from the queries at the end, as well as the persistent conviction that a spiritual life and practice can heal brokenness. This book would be best used for a group study or as an impetus for journaling: the point is to reach beyond the vignettes to search for spiritual guidance in one’s own life. Overall, Stories of Spiritual Healing: Becoming Well is a thought-provoking collection that highlights the importance of going beyond the secular in the quest for healing.
This book tells forty-one stories of ordinary people and how Divine guidance and their own inner wisdom helped them towards healing in their lives. Each story concludes with questions and a prayer that will take you further on your own journey towards healing. You will find wisdom within yourself. You will feel at peace, connected with God, whole and holy.
God is understood as being involved, present in every person and being, living, suffering, and rejoicing with creation, and with whom we co-create. Some of the stories are delightful and energizing. Others may be painful, depressing, or even disturbing.
Two sample stories are publicly available on the author’s website, and they give a good sense of the tone and purpose of Stories of Spiritual Healing: Becoming Well.
A distilled summary of each follow:
Sample Story 1 — A Moment of Deep Listening
This story centers on someone carrying emotional pain that they can’t quite name. During a session with the author, the person is guided into silence and gentle awareness. In that quiet space, they begin to sense a compassionate presence—something they describe as God meeting them exactly where they are.
That moment captures the heart of the author’s approach: healing that arises not from doing more, but from becoming still enough to notice what’s already present.
In the story, the silence isn’t empty. It’s spacious. The author guides the person into a kind of inner settling—breath softening, thoughts loosening their grip, the nervous system shifting out of vigilance. When the noise quiets, something deeper becomes perceptible. The person begins to sense a presence that feels warm, attentive, and profoundly accepting. They describe it as God meeting them without judgment, without demands, simply being with them.
What’s powerful is that nothing dramatic happens externally. The healing is relational and interior. The person realizes they don’t have to climb toward God or perform their way into worthiness. Instead, they feel met exactly in their fear, confusion, or pain. That recognition becomes the turning point: a sense of being held rather than having to hold everything alone.
Silence and divine presence are two of the deepest threads running through Stories of Spiritual Healing: Becoming Well. They aren’t just techniques or theological ideas—they’re the atmosphere in which healing becomes possible. The book treats them almost like companions that enter the room with the author and the person seeking help.
Below is a deeper look at each theme:
Silence as a Healing Tool
Silence in the book isn’t passive or empty. It’s active, attentive, and relational.
The author uses silence in several distinct ways:
1. Silence as a doorway to inner awareness
Many people in the stories arrive overwhelmed—by grief, fear, confusion, or shame. Silence slows the inner noise enough for them to notice what’s happening beneath the surface.
Breath deepens
Muscles soften
Thoughts lose their urgency
In that softened state, buried emotions or long-ignored truths begin to rise gently.
2. Silence as a safe container
The author doesn’t rush to interpret, fix, or advise. Her quiet presence communicates:
You’re not alone.
You don’t have to perform.
You’re safe to feel what you feel.
This kind of silence is protective. It creates a boundary around the person’s experience so they can explore it without fear of judgment.
3. Silence as a spiritual practice
The stories often show silence functioning like contemplative prayer. It’s a space where the person becomes receptive—open to something beyond their own thoughts.
Silence becomes a way of listening for God:
How the Author Understands God’s Presence
The book consistently portrays God not as distant or controlling, but as intimate, responsive, and deeply relational. Several patterns emerge:
1. God meets people where they are
In the stories, people don’t have to “rise up” to reach God. Instead, God is described as coming toward them—into their fear, grief, confusion, or numbness.
The presence is gentle, never forceful:
2. God’s presence is often subtle
The encounters aren’t dramatic miracles. They’re quiet shifts:
A sense of warmth
A sudden clarity
A feeling of being held
Tears that come without fear
The author treats these subtle movements as sacred:
3. God co‑creates healing with the person
This is a key theme. Healing isn’t something God does to someone. It’s something God does with them.
The person participates by:
Becoming aware
Opening emotionally
Listening inwardly
Trusting the process
God participates by offering presence, compassion, and guidance.
4. God’s presence is mediated through relationship
The author’s own posture—her listening, gentleness, and non‑judgment—often becomes the channel through which people sense God.
It’s not that she replaces God. Rather, her presence helps people recognize the divine presence already near them.
Why These Two Themes Work Together
Silence creates the inner stillness needed to perceive God’s presence. God’s presence gives meaning and safety to the silence.
Together, they form a healing environment where:
Emotions can surface without overwhelm
Old wounds can be revisited with compassion
People feel accompanied rather than abandoned
Spiritual insight arises naturally
The stories show that healing is less about dramatic intervention and more about gentle revelation.
Key themes
Healing begins when someone feels truly heard.
Divine presence is experienced not as a dramatic miracle but as a subtle, steady warmth.
The person leaves with a renewed sense of inner peace and clarity.
Sample Story 2 — A Song That Opens the Heart
In this story, a person struggling with grief finds unexpected healing through music. The author invites them to listen to a simple spiritual song (the website even links to the author singing it). As the melody unfolds, the person feels their grief soften. Memories arise—not to overwhelm them, but to be held with compassion.
The way the author uses the song isn’t about performance or technique. It’s more like opening a small window so the person can breathe again. The melody becomes a gentle container—simple enough not to demand attention, steady enough to make the person feel safe. In that softened space, memories that were too sharp to touch begin to surface in a way that feels manageable, even tender.
What’s striking is how the story frames grief: not as something to conquer, but as something that can be held with compassion when the right conditions are created. The song is just the doorway; the real healing comes from the sense of being accompanied, not alone.
If you’d like, I can expand this into a fuller thematic analysis, connect it to other stories in the book, or help you explore why this particular moment resonates with you.
The search results point directly to the answer: the song is the one linked in Story 8 on the author’s official website, where it says:
“Listen to Kwang-hee sing the song mentioned in story 8 here on YouTube.”
The website doesn’t print the lyrics, but it does confirm that:
The song is sung by Kwang‑hee Park herself
It is a simple spiritual song used in one of the healing encounters
It is available as a YouTube recording linked from the book’s site
Because the lyrics are copyrighted, they aren’t reproduced publicly—but the recording is meant to be heard rather than read anyway. The author uses it as a gentle, contemplative piece that opens emotional space for the person in the story.
If you want, I can describe the role the song plays in the story, the emotional tone it creates, or how it fits into the book’s broader approach to spiritual healing.
Key themes
Music becomes a doorway to emotional release.
Grief is not “fixed” but gently transformed.
The experience helps the person reconnect with God and with their own resilience.
What These Stories Reveal About the Book
Healing is portrayed as relational, not mechanical.
God is understood as present, co‑creating, and deeply involved in human experience.
Each story ends with reflection questions and a prayer, encouraging the reader to enter their own healing journey.

Explore the theological ideas behind the author’s approach
The stories show that each person has their own resources and channels towards healing. Divine wisdom for healing lies within each person, whatever their background may be. “This is definitely not just another self-help book, but one that will open the door to insights and prayer.”—Margot Hover, Association for Clinical Pastoral Education/Catholic Chaplains
“Filled with compassionate openness, deep listening, and just the quietness of God working in ways that always suit the situation—even ‘dramatic’ things (like Jesus visiting from the chapel at night) are ‘ordinary’ in the telling. Throughout, love shines through.”—Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki, Claremont School of Theology
“These stories open the heart to the possibilities of spiritual recovery and transformation.”—Rev. Bert Newton, Subversive Wisdom—Sociopolitical Dimensions of John’s Gospel .
“Each morning I linger in bed, listening with an open heart as I seek instruction for the work I am called to do. This book encourages me to listen more deeply and boldly.”—Jill Shook, Making Housing and Community Happen
“Our Divine true self emerges from our experiences, telling our stories, and being heard. Here is a very helpful invitation to your own journey of spiritual healing.”—Christopher McCauley, Stillpoint Center for Christian Spirituality, A Monk in the World
“Kwang-hee Park writes clearly and engagingly, with skilled listening and sensitivity for the Spirit’s creativity in life.”—Rev. William Moremen, Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation
“The elusive term ‘spirituality’ is presented in various ways within stories which show how people were able to heal emotionally, explore the transformative power of prayer, and find new ways with God or Jesus.”—Michael Klessmann, School of Jewish Theology at University of Potsdam

Gail Lynn – Author, Inventor, Filmmaker was first exposed to sound and light healing while working in the film industry as an executive producer for a movie about Elvis Presley called Protecting the King. When Gail’s doctor diagnosed her with severe cardiovascular stress at the young age of 37, caused by an accumulation of stress from two challenging relationships and three successive and extremely competitive careers in the automotive and telecommunications industries, and then as a Hollywood producer, she knew that she had to find a radical solution to her health issues.
Here’s a clear, grounded explanation of Gail Lynn’s personal healing journey, based on the information surfaced from the web.
Gail Lynn’s Personal Healing Journey
Gail Lynn’s path into sound and light healing began with serious health challenges that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. Her journey is central to her work and to her book Unlocking the Ancient Secrets to Healing.
1. A Life Under Intense Stress
Before entering the wellness world, Gail worked in corporate America and Hollywood, environments she described as high-pressure and draining. Over time, this stress contributed to:
Chronic migraines
Insomnia
Autoimmune-like symptoms
Cardiovascular strain
These issues accumulated until her health reached a breaking point.
2. Conventional Medicine Didn’t Have Answers
Gail sought help through traditional medical routes, but the treatments she tried didn’t resolve her symptoms. This pushed her to explore alternative healing modalities.
3. A Transformative Encounter With Sound & Light
Her turning point came when she experienced sound and light therapy—a modality she initially approached with skepticism. But the session had a profound effect on her:
Her stress levels dropped
Her sleep improved
Her symptoms began to ease
This experience convinced her that frequency-based therapies had untapped potential.
4. From Patient to Innovator
Driven by curiosity and a desire to heal herself and others, Gail began studying:
Vibrational medicine
Ancient healing traditions
Sacred geometry
Light and sound frequencies
This research eventually led her to invent the Harmonic Egg, a sound-and-light chamber designed to support physical, emotional, and energetic healing.
Extensive research led her into the world of frequency
Medicine and light and sound technologies.
After just a weekend of sessions with a non-invasive sound and light chamber, her Heart Rate
A Variable medical test showed the stress on her heart had significantly decreased. Unable to believe it could have been that easy, she continued sessions periodically for three years, during which a lifelong condition of chronic asthma disappeared, along with severe migraines that had been plaguing her for 23 years.
Determined to help others and open her own healing Center in Denver, Colorado, Gail simultaneously set out to uncover the ancient history and the modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies. Following a series of extraordinary synchronicities, which guided her to combine light and sound technologies with sacred geometry and Tesla mathematics, she developed a revolutionary immersive, resonance healing chamber called the Harmonic Egg, which is advancing frequency healing to an unimagined level. To find out more visit: www.harmonicegg.com
Here’s a clear, grounded explanation of Sound Vibration Healing, based directly on the information surfaced from the web.
What Is Sound Vibration Healing?
Sound vibration healing—often called sound healing, sound therapy, or sound frequency healing—is a holistic practice that uses vibration, resonance, and specific sound frequencies to support physical, emotional, and mental well‑being.
Across cultures and centuries, people have used sound—chants, drums, singing bowls, tuning forks—to influence mood, reduce stress, and promote healing. Modern science is now exploring why these ancient practices work.
How It Works (Based on Web Sources)
1. Everything in the body vibrates
Sound healing is based on the idea that every cell, organ, and system has a natural frequency. When stress, trauma, or illness occurs, these frequencies can become “out of tune.” Sources describe this principle as foundational to vibrational medicine.
2. Sound waves influence the body
Sound waves can travel through the body—especially because the body is largely water, which conducts vibration extremely well. These waves can:
Slow the heart rate
Calm the nervous system
Reduce muscle tension
Shift brainwave states (e.g., into relaxation or meditation)
3. Resonance and entrainment
Sound healing often uses resonance (matching frequencies) and entrainment (synchronizing rhythms). For example, a steady tone can help the brain shift into a calmer state, similar to how a lullaby soothes a child.
4. Deep relaxation and stress reduction
Modern wellness sources emphasize that sound healing is especially effective for:
Reducing anxiety
Improving sleep
Easing emotional tension
Supporting meditation
Verywell Mind notes that sound baths and similar practices can help regulate the nervous system and promote deep relaxation.
5. Ancient roots, modern revival
Sound healing dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece, India, and other cultures that used chants, mantras, and instruments for spiritual and physical healing. Today, it’s experiencing a resurgence as people seek non‑invasive, restorative therapies.
🎶 Sound‑Healing Tools Explained
These instruments are widely used in sound‑vibration healing practices. The search results show that they are core tools offered by professional sound‑healing suppliers such as Sunreed Instruments, The Sound Therapy Shop, and Sound Healing Lab, and they are highlighted in beginner guides to sound healingmantrayogameditation.org.
