Today was a long day, and sometimes I feel like it is all starting to run together. I have to stop and remind myself that I am doing this to survive this nasty disease called cancer!! Sometimes I want to be like Thor Ramsey and say "Eat a twinkie....see God!" It would be a sweet way to go, of course pun intended!! LOL!! But back to the healthy side of life.

I got on Swanson's website this morning and found some Himalayan salt that I can have!! It isn't processed and when digested creates an alkaline base instead of acidic. It is actually good for you!! What good news for those of us who can't do salt for what ever reason. Swanson's is a great resource for pursuing healthy remedies and they always have good sales. They have Kyo-Green that I need for my juicing recipe and flaxseed oil as well. I have heard about a daily supplement that is supposed to be great for the immune system. I am going to research it and tell you what I find. If it works like I have heard, it will be incredible and great for making your immune system recognize cancer cells and kill them. That sounds good to me!

I had a great visit today with several people I have never met before. One of the ladies, Crystal, was in the exact situation I am in right now. Actually hers was worse than mine and she sought out for herself some "self" remedies. We realized that I am doing what she discovered worked for her. And she is cancer free!! How awesome is that!! Just another confirmation that I am doing the right thing.

In the midst of our conversation we were talking about all that we went through and the steps of the process and it brought something up that I wanted to share. I am increasingly irritated with the MD process that they put you through when it is discovered that someone has cancer. As soon as something is found they want to biopsy, x-ray, MRI, etc.... This only makes it worse!! Cancer has a membrane around the mass and when you biopsy it you literally "let it out" and it will spread because of it. And mammograms, MRI, etc. is radiating it!! Yeah, let's make it grow really fast!! But we as the normal, ignorant populace just follows along because they are the ones with degrees not us. It is a crazy catch 22!! And I fell into it as well!! I had a biopsy, mammogram, MRI, PET scan (where they inject radioactive fluid straight into my veins and they warn you not to be around babies for 6hrs!!!)....how can that be good for you?! I have done that several times since my whole experience started!!

Okay, I am off my soap box. I just feel so frustrated that we aren't told what is really going on!!

But, on a happier note, it gets easier every day to be around my, used to be, favorite foods. Kind of like a recovering alcoholic. I know I can't go back or it will be destruction and death. It definitely makes the decision a whole lot easier!! :)

I feel like I need to clarify about how much my treatments are and what my doctors are like. My naturalist doctors are twin brothers that run a clinic out of their fellowship hall at their church. They both have their degrees and have been in high demand else where but feel the Lord wants them here helping as many misinformed patients as possible. They have hearts as big as Texas and will love you to death and pray for you every single day. They give till it hurts because they love to help those in need and they feel God has given them the knowledge to do just that. They normally charge $100.00 per hyperbaric dive but they knew me circumstances and only charged me half price. They are also eating the price of my herbal perscription because of our financial situation. They give to so many because they have needs, they want to live and they want to help them live. I find myself praying that the Lord will bless their ministry because there are so many in need!!

They have a younger brother who developed Lymphoma and his liver was covered with tumors. He chose to follow his brothers direction and treatments and the cancer has been gone for 7yrs. I feel stronger than ever that I am doing what God wants me to do, and I hope I can encourage others to see them as well and change the lifestyle that is slowly eating them alive.

On to other subjects, I had some friends come in this weekend to see us and it was so good to see them!! We have known them for twenty years and it felt like a homecoming or family reunion!! God has blessed them and they have blessed us!! Sometimes the joy comes in showers and other times in floods!! They took us to a mexican restaurant for lunch and I had a guacamole salad for lunch, no cheese just lettuce, tomatoes, and guacamole. It was heavenly!! After just veggie juice and lentils for three weeks!!

Brenda, Matt, Sissy and Alissa.....I pray the Lord will bless you as you have blessed me!!! Love you guys!!

I have been going to three weeks of hyperbaric treatment.... I am feeling really great!! And yes, I am also doing coffee enema's. They will clean out the liver and keep it in tip top condition so the cancer will not settle there. I had never even heard of such a thing but my naturalists gave me info on them and had me order coffee from Canada expressly for that purpose. I have had friends taking me for my treatments so I have enjoyed the conversations but it is nice as well for them to see where I am going and to know what all I am learning.

Food: I forgot to mention breads yesterday. They turn to sugar in your system but if you are eating store bought bread, the nutrients are gone by the time you get them. If you can grind your own wheat then immediately make the bread you will receive all the nutrients. As for the flour you buy, there are no nutrients left. It needs to be freshly ground. The Health Master can be used as a mill as well to grind your wheat to flour. Very cool!

I found a website yesterday that talked about the ph of food. It said that people assume that citrus fruit is acidic. But it actually causes alkaline to be produced in your stomach. Very good news for when I can have fruit back in my diet. I love orange juice!! One of the highest acid producers is lobster and scallops... :( that makes me very sad!!

Oh, Good News!!! I talked to my oncologist and asked if he would monitor my blood tests to see if what I am doing is helping and he said he would and that I can get tested every three months. That is a huge answer to prayer!! He was really determined to have me do chemo again. I told him yesterday that I didn't want to do chemo and wanted to pursue all natural remedies and he said he would do what ever I wanted and would support my decision!! That is just incredible!! So, in ten weeks I go in for a ct scan and bone scan. I can't wait to see what they find...or what they don't find!! :)

Thank-you all for the comments and support!! I will try to add to this every day. At least so you will know what is going on in my life and what I am facing.

I don't think I have shared the financial side of this just some large figures. I have to drive one hour to the clinic five days a week and it is $50.00 a day. We have already purchased one piece of equipment which was $2500.00. The doctors are discussing different treatments that they may pursue, and I am looking at continuing the hyperbarics for months. I know I am in for a large financial adventure but I have had some friends and family volunteer to help raise money.

I am trying to find a job as well to see if I can help make ends meet that way as well. I'm not sure how any of this will work out but I know that I am pursuing the right direction and I know God will provide a way. "I feel it in my bones" LOL!!

I must say that starting a blog was not something I had considered, but the more I learn the more I felt the need to share. I am overwhelmed by the vast amount of knowledge that is out there on how to fight cancer and how to prevent cancer.

So, I guess I need to start with a little history. I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in February of 2009. I had an 8cm mass in my right breast that had already entered my lymph nodes and possibly was in my right hip. (They could not confirm my hip just that it looked suspicious.) I went through four months of aggressive chemotherapy and then had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstructive surgery. I went through two months of stretching my muscles to prepare for implants and then started radiation therapy five days a week for six weeks. After a sufficient amount of healing time I was able to finish the reconstructive surgery and have my implants inserted. After having a PET scan in December I was diagnosed as "cancer free". But in June of 2010 I received another PET scan and was told my cancer was back and in multiple spots in my bones. My oncologist told me there was nothing I could do and that this time it would take my life. I DON'T THINK SO!!!

My battle to live begins with a quest for knowledge!! We had three different people in one day recommend two naturalist doctors in Nashville so we called and made an appointment to go see them the very next day. They told us three main things that had to change immediately.

1. My oxygen levels must increase at an absurd level

2. My acidity level must lower and become more alkaline

3. My body must be filled with only raw vegatables

We went home immediately and got on the internet and found crazy amounts of info explaining why these three things are so important. I will try to explain and not jump around too much!! LOL!!

First.... Cancer cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment.

I have found a clinic that I can have hyperbaric treatments. This means I get into a huge duffle bag and they zip me in and raise the pressure while I am breathing 95% pure oxygen. The pressure forces the oxygen down to the cellular level. My naturalist doctors have informed me that I will need to do this for a while since it is in my bones.

Second... Cancer needs acidity to multiply and grow. It thrives in an acidic environment.

I am drinking alkaline water that I get from the clinic. A filter that does this is expensive, but someday I hope to afford it. It is totally worth it for the whole family to consume this water. Also I am taking corral calcium which works to make me more alkaline as well. But the best kind of corral calcium to use is the one from the Okinawan Sea. I found some at GNC.

Thirdly... Cancer is fed by so many things but veggies fight it. I have found that veggies have enzymes that attack the cell walls of cancer. Now I am on a strict diet of juicing, and that is because the juice is full of enzymes (which must be drunk as soon as juiced since the enzymes die quickly) and they go straight into your system and start attacking the cancer cells.

I can't have meat. It is very acidic and it will pull enzymes out of my bloodstream to help digest it.

No sugar either. Of any kind! Cancer feeds on sugar!! It's like its chocolate!!!

No dairy, it creates mucus which the cancer feeds on as well.

Even fruit is only in very, very small amounts because of the natural sugar.

My cancer is driven by estrogen, so I can't eat soy or soy products because it helps to make estrogen. Estrogen is like the engine.

So, in the midst of all of this we had some friends who got me a Health Master. It is like the Superman of blenders!!! LOL!! I highly recommend getting one!! It is awesome for emulsifying veggies and I get to eat the whole veggie not just the juice! It comes with six recipe books...really yummy!!

Before the Health Master, I was juicing around 25 lbs of carrots a week!!! Yeah, that's a truck load of carrots!! The recipe that the doctors gave me calls for carrots, beet, celery, apple, tomato, romaine lettuce, red bell pepper, kyogreen, flaxseed oil, and cayenne pepper. It is actually rather tastey and you can add other spices like ginger or garlic if you want to spice it up. I'll have to post the exact recipe for everyone.

The website where we go to find out what is best to eat and how good it is for you, is... WHfoods.com. It stands for the worlds healtiest foods. It is an awesome wealth of information when you need to know what you can and can't eat.

The other is Hallelujah Acres.com. It has awesome recipes for all natural diets.

80% of your diet should be raw veggies and 20% cooked. Makes for a perfect attack on cancer cells.
