Now what I started.............

Finding some help
and being my own ADVOCATE!

I read somewhere if you were going to use a holistic Dr. you should look for someone older, who really had some experience behind him/her. Well in my rural area and limited funds, the options weren't plentiful. Believe it or not with those odds against me I found the neatest holistic care center with an older than "older" Doctor. In fact he had retired and by force of customer demand had to re-open his practice. New customers were by referral only so I called him up without one and told him my story and begged! He reluctantly took me in! I was a bit skeptical, as he is hard of hearing and seems to be a little too "OLD". But its true, his knowledge cannot be challenged.

My first visit, he sat me down and said to my Husband and I "I Don't Cure Cancer" "If it happens to be cured while you are under my care, well that will be a plus for you" I was a bit skeptical, I wanted to hear, "I can fix you right up"!

Well holistic medicine doesn't work like conventional medicine. I was learning this slowly. It took a long time for my body to get in this condition and a reverse was going to take a while. One great thing about our bodies is they put up with a lot, and respond quickly to natural healing.

Well anyway with the help of this good Doc. I started my treatments. Not only did he have his treatment, I had mine, which he did not like. Plastered all over his office were little signs stating just that! "your success would depend on who was the Doctor" etc. Well I am a bit hard headed and go by feelings and felt like I needed more than what he had to offer. So I brought in my own protocol.

Diet to me is a huge factor to everything that ails us. He didn't disagree but he didn't think diet could cure me. Well I don't either! I think diet is a part of your healing journey or your prevention. I stumbled on a website that sold nutritional products, it was a compelling site. It had a page that said contact us, so I did and told the man about my problem. He had advice, it was sincere and not just trying to sell his products. He told me about the Budwig Diet, Joanna Budwig a German physicist won 7 Nobel Prizes for her work. I liked what I heard so I implemented it. Some of her protocols I didn't care for and didn't use, but I love the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese mix. When mixed it oxygenates and forces oxygen through out your body and CANCER DOESN'T LIKE OXYGEN!

So now in my first few months of diagnosis, I was slowly making changes to my diet. I learned the importance of being alkaline, I was horribly acidic. "CANCER DOESN'T LIKE ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT Eating foods off the akaline food chart, (just Google it and you can find one) really helps. I also used special drops to alkaline my water. Lemons work well too or you can use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). I spent hours in the local health food store marveling over everything and learning as much as I could.

I started to learn the benefits of a raw food diet, eating as many fruits and veggies raw as I could. This I guess is the hardest for me, because I have always loved to COOK! I love food all food so eating my veggies isn't hard. Finding time to prepare them was the problem.

My journey and reason for my blog! 1st post!

Hello and Welcome to my blog!
If you have CANCER, Don't want CANCER or any other HEALTH ISSUSE
PLEASE follow my blog and read my posts!
I really hope it will change your life like mine has changed!
I hate to put this in here BUT I have to! Please read my disclaimer. It is on my blog page!

I created this blog to share my adventures of a new lifestyle for both me, my family and my pets. I would love to inspire someone to follow this wonderful journey I have found. Good health is something we all need and it so easy to have with the right wisdom!

I stumbled on this adventure just a few years ago! It is working, and after the good results this trial has brought, I have decided to share it. I wish I had this knowledge years ago! I may have been able to save my family...........

My family has a genetic stream of bad health from the big C (Cancer) to autoimmune diseases. Starting with my Grandfather, he died at 52 with a brain tumor. My Uncle (Dad's side) died at 55 with colon cancer. My Uncle (Mom's side) died at 49 with colon cancer. My mother died at 62 with lung cancer, but had MS they thought for several years! By the time they diagnosed her with cancer she died 9 days later with it spread all through out her body. My father died at 70, went for knee surgery and had a million mini strokes, he never woke up! The list goes on with the cancer stuff! We all suffer from allergies too, (weak immune systems to start)!!

Well my story.........
I am 47 years old, I have raised 2 boys and a girl, 2 of them married and have kids, one still at home at 22 yrs old trying to make a living and find his wings! Tuff in today's economy! My husband and I own the Horseshoe Ranch and Arena In Oklahoma, an equine stable. I have never really been over weight, maybe 30 lbs in my worst! I have always considered myself healthy, active and living right! WELL I WAS WRONG!

My evolution of disease is so clear now, but they say hind sight is always 20/20. I'll start at the year 2000, I got a divorce and started out on my own raising 3 almost teenagers. Worked three jobs and didn't have time for eating healthy. Cappuccino's and donuts in the morning, Mc Donalds at lunch and frozen something for dinner! I bought fruit for the kids snacks, but pre-packaged convenience foods were easy! This lifestyle went on for quite some time, I also worked my fingers to the bone, bar-tending at night in heavy smoke filled rooms, up at dawn to work all day and even worked graveyards to stock a grocery store. I had No time to sleep or eat.
Finally I married again and quit a job! Lol! I was able to start back up with my real profession, a riding instructor! My husband is a cowboy, born and raised that way. His Southwest Oklahoma diet is a lot of chicken fries and fried potatoes. No veggies! He loves sweets and fast foods too. So my diet still suffered!

Well my allergies which I have had all my life, to everything, especially horses (and yes I have always had horses and my career......A RIDING INSTRUCTOR)! I was worse than ever. I had gained a lot of weight, for me. I am usually about 120 lbs and I was topping the scale at around 155 lbs. I was tired all the time, 4:00 slump came everyday! I ached everywhere. I took tons of allergy tablets, sinus meds and headache pills. I thought this was from hard work and age creeping up! Maybe even stress of watching my family all die of cancer right in front of me, one right after the other. WELL I WAS WRONG!

In the year 2008 I was very ill on a daily basis. Our business was under a lot of stress we had added a new venture to it "TEAM ROPING EVENTS" very stressful! Lots of mental fast paced work, with lots of customer service issues! I blamed a lot of my sickness on stress. My head was always clogged and cloudy, I made a lot of mistakes, more than usual for a blond. Lol! I could feel something wasn't right inside me. I noticed a small cyst growing quickly on my leg and a few spots that look like age spots. I just figured I was growing barnacles from age! UNTIL, I started to feel pressure behind my left eye, at first I thought it was sinus pressure, so I blew it off and took more meds! UNTIL, I noticed in a producer picture that my left eye looked different (smaller and lower) than my right. The more I stared into the mirror the more I realized my left eye was being pushed out and down! I was becoming officially hideous!

SO.........I made that dreaded appointment to the optometrist, he could clearly see the difference and ordered a MRI, well from there I was diagnosed with two large tumors behind my left eye in my sinus cavity. I already knew it so it wasn't a big shocker to me, I could feel it and see it!

OFF we went to a specialist in OKC, after reading MRIs and CAT scans, they said I was too bad for what they had to offer. "I need a team of specialist" It had grown into bone and I needed a cranial flap surgery, with reconstruction surgery, chemo and radiation! But that was only the good news, bad news was.........this kind of CANCER is tuff to get rid of. Even after all that it will come back and need to be attacked again and again! "PROGNOSIS IS POOR" the Doctor said.
I asked him "what if I do nothing, how long would I last"? He said in my opinion 1 year. He took my husbands hand and said I will pray for you and they did! I am so thankful, because that prayer worked! From that day forward my life had changed, my eyes were opened!

I left the building, and threw up in their bushes! Which I did quite often anyway! My husband wanted to start making arrangements in Houston to set up a team of specialist. I sat quietly thinking of my options. Knowing what my family went through with all the same treatments, was not too appealing. I wasn't really scared, I was excited! I wanted to get home quickly to GOOGLE my best friend! I wanted to research and I did. I researched so much information, it was unreal. I stayed up at night on my computer until 4 and 5 in the morning. I Completely immersed myself into NATURAL REMEDIES. The info was over whelming but I stayed focused and if it didn't feel right I didn't listen!

I had trouble finding specific info on my exact kind of cancer (Inverting Papiloma "SINUS") but the more I read scientific papers on the evolution of cancer, the more I came to understand I wasn't looking for a single bullet to cure my aliment.

SO I was off putting together my protocol all by myself!

Next post will continue my saga...................
