why all natural? ….. my story

Five surgeries and 15 years of conventional, toxic treatments wouldn't cure the persistent cancer in my neck.

Imagine, to my surprise, heading into my Mayo Clinic appointment in 2013 only for them to tell me "we can't find it, the blood markers are undetectable". At that moment I was in a weird kind of fog, excited to hear what I was hearing but unsure of what I just heard.

It was when I called my mom and attempted to recount my doctor visit that my ability to talk simply stopped. Hearing myself say for the very first time that I was in "physical and biochemical remission" was nearly impossible.

Living with cancer, for as long as I did with all pain it caused and dreams it snuffed had become my identity.

Nothing happened between the last few visits. No surgeries. No changes in meds. No nothing! Or so I thought.

Perhaps, though, there was something. I changed my diet and quit drinking.

After getting over the shock that I was potentially cancer free came the equally shocking reason to the question: how? The valuable lesson I learned was that something so simple can produce profound results.

Sometimes nature comes in the form of the surgeons talented hands, the chemists proficient compounding, the radiologists astute eye and the biologists natural ability to identify, but we should never disregard the power of nature itself and it’s skill in healing.

I know now that I didn’t give plants enough credit.
