In 2017 I looked strictly to medicine to rid me of Cancer. Research I left to the medical providers (insert eye roll here) turned a blind eye to any natural/herbal remedies that could rid me of the parasite that turned my life up-side down as a mother of 6. Yes, I am a mother of 6, previously married I have 3 children now 23 (girl), 20 (girl), and 17 (boy), remarried in 2017 acquired a set of now 22-year-old twin girls and then in 2015 we solidified our family with yes, a 5th girl who today is 9.
Having cancer in 2017 put a lot of strain on my family as my eldest who was a Jr. at the time really stepped up and took the mom roll on with taking her siblings to school, work and at times sports practices and games. I still worked a full-time job (call me crazy) part-time or brief disability was not an option. All 6 children lived with us full-time and as many of you with kids may know they aren't cheap. We had to keep their lives as normal as possible. I even worked from my hospital bed during my 6 hospital stints, my boss was very understanding and supportive.
Fast forward almost 5 months from my initial diagnosis on May 31, 2017, I was free of cancer. That just solidified my choice to "listen to the science". I have my life back I can return to my busy, very involved mom stage. Yeah!
Now let's fast forward to July 2023 when my life forever changed AGAIN! Post COVID Plandemic, forced to take a vaccine I NEVER wanted to take, but I work for a hospital, so I had NO choice. I didn't matter that I was now and forever be a remote worker I still had to take the poison shot not once but twice!
The tumor was back in the exact same spot that it was in 2017, how can that be I had the DIEP Flap surgery with a +PCR, there should be ZERO breast tissue so how the hell did I get a tumor back in the exact same place on the exact same side - my right breast? I was so angry, sad, scared and now have extreme doubt in big pharma, but I still have complete trust in my Oncologist. My daughter's are now older, my 20-year-old daughter Madison is a health nut, aka Gym Rat and began researching herbal and Holistica options for battling cancer. My Aunt Peggy is my researcher anything I need her to research she and my cousin Cara are on it and get me all the information that I need showing how the herbal and supplemental side of holistic medicine will begin to help me heal my body from in-side out. My Aunt Carol checks on me all the time allows me to vent and also provides additional Holistica knowledge and information.
My entire perspective has changed when taking on this new fight. For those who know me, know I absolutely hate (yes, I said the bad word) popping pills. I currently take one prescribed medication; gabapentin for the neuropathy I have sustained from the chemo, B17 (apricot seed powder 500mg) follow the link to find out more Anticancer Effect of Amygdalin (Vitamin B-17) on Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Line (HepG2) in the Presence and Absence of Zinc - PubMed (nih.gov), Black See Oil 1250mg (talk about a horse pill, my lord) follow the link to find out more Black Seed Oil: Benefits, Uses, Side Effects, and More (health.com), and Soursop otherwise known as Graviola 4000mg daily you can find more information about it by clicking here Graviola Treatment for Cancer: Does It Work? (webmd.com)
I am about to embark on a journey to battle this parasite that currently resides in me when I move to using Nootropics which are believed to support healthy cognitive function, mental clarity and overall brain health. This product is formulated with a blend of seven different organic mushrooms, B vitamins, amino acids and green coffee bean extract. I am so extremely excited to eliminate most of my pill. When healing your body you need to do it from the inside out! Stay tuned for the product launch as this is not just to heal me from cancer but to heal all of me to be able to possibly "live" with cancer!
