You'll be inspired by the story in the below video. Since my Mom's recent cancer diagnosis I've become even more of a freak about real food. Of course I know there are no guarantees no matter how we eat, but Dr. Jill has been healthy with no signs of cancer or Crohn's disease for over 12 years now.
I'd say that living clean is worth a good shot, wouldn't you?
Especially when it's not like it's a hardship. Cooking meals isn't that difficult, and our own real food tastes so much better anyway! Find simple real foodie recipes here. Think your sweet tooth is too strong? Try these tips. Think you don't have the money or the time? Try these tips:

Now watch Dr. Jill's story:
(p.s. I thought the background music was a little annoying in this video. Not the violin, but the way the volume stays too high the whole time she's talking.)

In addition to celiac disease, researchers now believe that glyphosate may be linked to this list of diseases mentioned, including Autoimmunity, Autism, Infertility + more. https://www.jillcarnahan.com/2015/11/22/glyphosate-toxicity/

Awesome, Leah Ayers! Thank you for sharing that new post–I look forward to reading it.

I didn’t know this about her. I just started following her FB page. She has other GREAT posts about Mold Biotoxin Illness. She also has the Mold Gene that I was just diagnosed with. This causes us to accumulate Mold unlike people without mold genes, we cannot make antibodies against mold and Mold toxins flood our bodies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_8UOUsM_rY

My husband and I are big fans of Dr. Carnahan. We became familiar with her through her lectures given in his functional medicine certification program. She is an extremely knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate practitioner. I’ve been looking forward to hearing her all week!

The worst, is a husband that “refuses to believe”, that ther are other ways to get the body well, he doesn’t even help me research so I have to research when he’s not around.
He doesn’t tell me when he’s travelling except…a few minutes before a flight and leaving me alone. He stresses me so much…he knows it is not good but continues…
I’m stuck…
My reply to her: “My heart goes out to you… Just keep praying and loving him anyway.

Thanks for sharing, I needed to hear this story today! Sometimes you can feel alone or (mostly) “weird” when you’re fighting to stay healthy and no one around you “gets it”!!

I want to add in here a couple books that also affirm the power of integrative medicine and natural therapies in fighting cancer, both of which have been very encouraging and useful for my beautiful, amazing sister in law, who is fighting cancer now (and has surprised her oncologist with how well she’s done). Like Dr. Jill, she is using both conventional and naturopathic approaches.

I was wondering if you have ever seen the DVD by Jerry Brunnetti on cancer and nutrition? He had been diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma in the 1990’s and did not do the conventional treatment. He was told he had 6 months to live if he did not do the intensive chemo. His talks are still on some youtube videos.
KitchenKop says
I have seen them but it’s been a while, I’ve met him in person too, so thanks for the reminder to go look those up again. 🙂
