I Gave Myself Cancer, I Can Take It Away!

Chapter 1
Do You Want to Live or Do You Want to Die?
The purpose of this book is to create an awareness of alternative methods of caring for your body and your health. This isn’t another diet or recipe book. It’s a lifestyle book focused on how the choices you make on a daily basis can turn your health around in a flash, the blink of an eye. There are many alternative options available to choose from and more than what I will mention here. You don’t have to use only the methods offered by the mainstream medical community.
I create this awareness by sharing with you a very personal, intimate, and detailed breast cancer recovery story on my own return to health using only alternative options, after an initial lumpectomy that diagnosed the cancer. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of these alternatives are not available from the menu of options offered by mainstream medicine. So here I am blessed with this incredible opportunity to spread the word. You do have choices. There are many alternative methods available should you find yourself in a compromised state of health and looking for information outside mainstream medicine. You just have to do your research on the Internet, talk to friends and family, talk to organic farmers, go to the bookstore and look into natural healing magazines to find out what they are, where they’re offered, and how you can benefit from them.
Do you want to live or do you want to die? You may think that’s a really crazy question. Doesn’t everyone want to live? How you live and how healthy you are while here on this earth is the real question. Everyone is going to die at some point, right? But how you go down at the end is a direct result of the choices you make along the way. Many elderly people housed in nursing homes as halfway houses on their way to knocking on death’s door may really want to die, embrace it, and are anxious for its arrival. They are burdened with Alzheimer’s and other diseases; they don’t recognize their friends and family and are wasting away both physically and mentally. Have they given up on life? Have they decided now is their time to die? Or have the consequences of their choices put them in this compromised state of health much earlier than if different set of choices were made? Could they have made better diet and lifestyle choices that would have not only extended their lives but extended them in such a way as to make them vibrant, fit, strong, and vigorous right up until the time they decided it was time to die? In my opinion the answer is totally, utterly, and absolutely, YES!
Are you going to have to make changes to your diet and lifestyle if you want to live longer, happier and healthier? Yes, of course you are. What are those choices worth to you? Will you have to totally sacrifice fast food, processed food, meat, dairy, wheat products, and alcohol that you currently consume on a daily basis? You can eat a healthier diet and consume some of those things occasionally as a treat. But if you want to live a happier healthier life with lots of desire, energy, and vitality your diet and lifestyle must change. Only if you want to be around to see your children grow up, get married, and have your grandchildren. Only if you want to retire and still have enough glorious energy to go dancing, kayaking, skiing, hiking, biking, take long loving walks on the beach with your significant other, watch the sunset, and keep up with your grandchildren. Not possible you say? I say it’s not only possible, I’m living proof you can do it. Thousands of other people are also proof, and you can do it too. I’m the evidence you can see, feel, and hear. You can change your life by changing how you look at things, and the first of those things is the food choices you make because that’s where life begins. It begins with POP, the power of plants, in the produce section of your grocery store, the local farmers market down the street, your local food cooperative, or, if you have the land and inclination, your own garden. And now there are hydroponics and raised-bed gardens you can utilize right in your own back yard that are really easy to care for if you don’t have the land or ground space. The volume of produce you can generate for a family of four from just one of these hydroponic or raised-bed planters makes the investment pay for itself in just a few short months.
Do you want to live vibrantly, take control of your life and the choices you make and flourish? Or do you want to follow someone else’s design plan for how you’ll live and wither away sooner than necessary? If you’re making regular trips to the doctor for this ailment or that ailment, this disease and that disease, only to have the doctor give you one prescription after another with deadly side effects that can snowball into other malfunctions in your body, you’re living someone else’s design plan. This path can be slow, painful, and endless. I’ve seen it happen, with friends and family members. I’ve also seen what other people like me have done to re-create their health from near-death stage four terminal cancers and other terminal diseases, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and others. We’ve been resurrected! Yes, we’ve been resurrected from those stages of near-death experiences to live and tell our stories. Can you do it? Absolutely, positively, the answer is YES.
We’ve been programmed to think that our ancestry or family history determines that we will succumb to certain diseases. Science has told us so, right? WRONG! Notice I use the word programmed, because I believe what we think gives birth to what happens to us, in health as well as in life. If we believe the programming of our health is something we have no control over, then we certainly will succumb to whatever disease or condition is part of our family history. This health impairment, this abnormal functioning of our body becomes an expected part of our aging, so we look for it, even plan for it. You can avoid old family programming by changing what you eat, how you eat it, the kind of lifestyle you live, and your belief system.
You don’t need to have a prize fighter’s body with hard muscle mass and work out at the gym several hours a day, seven days a week, to be healthy and live long. However, you do need to move your body in gentle, loving ways every day. If you want an ocean of health, this book will show you how to get started!
So I ask you again, do you want to live or do you want to die? If you answered, “Yes, I want to live,” let’s get going. We have a lot to talk about. If not, you can start planning for the alternative.
