The “C” word…I hate it. I cringe every time I hear someone declared to have cancer. When many people hear the word “cancer” they automatically think “death.”  But think again!  We personally know many people who have seen complete victories over cancer by making some life-altering changes (diet, nutrition, supplements, water, etc.).  No person is the same, nor is any one situation the same.  But it is amazing to see how God created our body’s to heal themselves when given the right nutrients. It is a powerful thing! I would love to hear your thoughts and stories if you have had similar testimonies come your way!  We hear so much bad news on the local news every night!  Let’s share some good news!!!

A good friend of mine, Rachel Brewer, shared this amazing story of her father-in-law’s miraculous recovery from cancer. His story and plan are below. Rachel has a passion to see people’s lives changed and health restored on all levels. She is an amazing mom and her website is awesome! (thanks to her studly, amazing husband who builds websites for a living!)   Check it out if you have time today!

Cancer Testimony by Roscoe Brewer

March 10, 2010

In November of 2008, I had surgery to remove 60% of my liver and cancer there.  Afterwards, I went for a quarterly cat scan and blood work to see if the cancer returned and it didn’t for one year.  But, in November of 2010, a check up showed that there were three cancerous growths on my pancreas.  The doctor stated that they were not operable and that most people with this kind of cancer only had six to twelve months to live.  He also did not recommend chemo therapy since the chances for curing the disease were slim.

Without options and at the coaching of my family, I decided to try a nutritional based, immuno-therapy program recommended by a Shaklee rep.  It consisted of juicing fruits and vegetables, Shaklee supplements, alkaline water, and eating only vegetables and whole grains.  The basic position of this program is that the body can heal itself if given a chance.  The average person has cancer cells in their body but their immune system is strong enough to reject them.  My immune system was obviously not strong enough to resist the cancer.

After three months, I went for another cat scan and blood test.  My doctor reported to me that the cancerous growths had shrunk significantly.  His words were, “I don’t know what you are doing, but keep it up because you are going to lick this.”  I am continuing the program and plan, upon defeating this cancer, to make most of these practices a life style.

Please know that all the information listed below is how I am fighting my cancer.  But I quickly want to add that hundreds of people have been praying for me.  I know that God is going to heal me and I celebrate this.  But in my heart of hearts, I know that it is God that is doing this and not just my holistic nutritional program.

**Please know this post is not saying results would be the same for every body.  But there are many wonderful testimonies just like his, and strong evidence that shows that our bodies can use the right nutrients and processes to heal itself!  It’s a beautiful story of faith and commitment.

Immune-Therapy Program Used to fight cancer by Roscoe Brewer

February 1, 2010

Several friends have asked for an explanation of the immune-therapy program I have used in my fight against cancer.  Here is a list and explanation of the various processes I have implemented the past three months.   They are based upon the concept that the body can heal itself if given the chance.  Our Western lifestyle and diet stresses our immune system to the point that it is not able to withstand disease like cancer.  This program is designed to strengthen the immune system and decrease the acid in your body.  It is a compilation of several items.  I hope it will be helpful to you.

————————————————————————-

Fresh Juices:

8 to 10 ounces glass – seven a day  (alternate between yellow and green)

• start the day with fresh fruit juice – one glass – oranges, grapefruit, melon, cantaloupe, mangos, pineapple, Granny Smith green apple, and papaya
• drink a glass of yellow or green juice six times a day – about every one to two hours.  I try for two in the morning, two in the afternoon, and two in the evening.
  • Yellow juice consists of: carrots, cauliflower, yellow peppers, yellow squash, green cabbage, beets (beets should always be mixed with carrots), egg plant, and red cabbage.  I make the base for this drink mostly carrots juice.
  • Green juice consists of: celery, asparagus, red, green, and orange peppers, peas, spinach, cucumbers, broccoli, turnip greens, Brussels sprouts, string beans, kale, and beet greens.  I make the base for this drink mostly celery.

Ionized Water: – 10 to 20 ounces a day

• I purchased a water machine that is connected to our kitchen faucet and it produced water with a high pH.  The pH must be above 7 and closer to 10.  This will move your body from an acidic state to an alkaline state.  Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline state.  Cancer cells die at 8.5 pH.  The process is to break down large molecules of water into multiple smaller molecules so our body absorbs them quicker.
• The name of the machine is:  Alkazone BHL 2100.  It is manufactured by Better Health Labs in Summerset, NJ and cost about $1,500 to $2,000 with the best filter.  Their phone is 1-800-810-1888 and their website is:  www.alkazone.com.  For an article that explains the pH balance of Acid and Alkaline please visit:   www.i-amperfectlyhealthy.com/pHBalance.html

Supplements:

Here is a list of supplements that I take daily with the dosage.  I divide these evenly so I take some in the morning, some with lunch, and the rest at dinner.   Most of them are produced by the Shaklee Company but can be purchased from other places. The Shaklee products are listed in red and can all be found here.

• Vitalizer with Iron -  there are six pills in a pack – take one pack a day; foundational nutrition
• Energyzing Soy Protein – 2 servings a day; Shaklee’s Protein has all 23 amino acids, is water washed, non GMO, and has been proven in laboratory studies to fight cancer cells.
• Alfalfa – 15 tablets daily; cleanses
• Nutriferon – four a day – two twice daily; build natural interferon in the body, thus boosting the immune system
• Liver DTX – three daily; a liver detoxifier
• Vitamin C – 1,000 mg – five a day; Shaklee’s C is amazing! It is sustained release–like eating 1.5 oranges every hour for 6 hours
• OmegaGuard – three daily; fish oil reduces inflammation and more; Shaklee’s is from an ultra pure source with no mercury
• Lethicin –  four daily; essential fatty acid
• GLA Complex – three daily; essential fatty acid; Omega 6′s
• Herb Lax – six to eight each day – this is a colon cleanser that flushes out toxins in the colon; your stools are to be soft through this process
• Optiflora Pre-Biotic Powder – this is digestive enzyme I mix with a Soy Protein Powder and Almond Milk – I include Flax Seed in this drink -  drink once a day… an be twice if needed.   It is for the purpose of protein intake. The Pro-Biotic (live bacteria) comes in the Vitalizer strip listed above!

• B Complex -  4 a day – 2 morning and evening
• Vivix – one teaspoon daily; Shaklee’s most revolutionary product; reverses damage at the cellular level!

Other Supplements:

• Natural Cellular Defense -  this is drops made from Lava ashes. I take ten drops of this about six times a day.  These that are manufactured by the Waiora Company – this is multi-level marketing company and these drops are expensive.  I am using less of them than Waiora recommends but it is the dose my coach has suggested.
• Agari Gold with H1X1 – this is made from mushrooms in Brazil. I take three to four drops of the H1X1 about six times a day.  It is also manufactured by the Waiora Company.  Their website is: https://shop.waiora.com/pls/ngsipsp/ngs_instore.home.

You can find a lot of information on YouTube about these.  There are several videos that are very informative.

Food:

My diet is basically vegetables and whole grains.  It takes a major commitment to follow this diet but it is worth it.  I find that the Protein Drink(s) I take each day help my energy level to be maintained.  Certain foods help in the process, so I will list the ones that I have been eating:

• Broccoli
• Lettuce
• Asparagus
• Tomatoes
• Zucchini
• Mashrooms
• Green Beans
• Snow Peas
• Onions
• Garlic
• Beets
• Pinto Beans
• Black Beans
• Sweet Potatoes
• Yellow Squash
• Spinach
• Cabbage
• Turnip Greens
• Okra
• Bell Peppers
• Egg Plant
• Brown Rice
• Millet
• Steel-cut Oats
• Figs
• Dates
• Raw Almonds
• Walnuts
• Almond Butter
• Salads –  ORGANIC lettuce/celery/romaine/butter lettuce/spring mix/onions with virgin olive oil and vinegar

Suggestions:

All vegetables and fruits should be Organic if possible, washed in Basic H (from Shaklee) or some food wash purchased at the grocery store.  Basic H can wash veggies (because it is non-toxic) and it can also clean your house! Getting chemicals out of your home is also important!  The idea is cleanse and feed your body.  The lesser amount of preservative in the food, the better it is for you and the more it helps get rid of the acid in your body.

When I go to a restaurant, I have found that stir-fried or steamed vegetables are normally available and I asked for them to use vegetable or olive oil rather than butter.  Of course, many times I just eat a salad with vinegar and oil.  Many places have beans and/or brown rice.  It is very common for restaurants to have a vegetable plate.

Juicer or VitaMix:

We had to purchase a second one because there is a difference in these machines.  The one that we found that worked best pulverizes the fruit and vegetables rather that the centrifugal force type.  This pulverizing allows the enzymes to stay in the fruit and vegetables more and provides juice that is better for you.  It is manufactured by the Omega Juicers Company.  The model is:  VRT330 and it cost about $350.00.  Their phone is:  717-561-1105.  Their website is:  www.omegajuicersdirect.com.  See below for other options.

I need to add that some nutritionist have told me that my juicing program does not include the pulp of the vegetables and fruit.  It divides the juice and the pulp.  Some say I am therefore losing the value of the enzymes.  I think they are right and the skin and peelings of the fruits and vegetables need to be included if possible.  There are machines that do this (Vita Mix is one).

Coach:

I have had a nutritional biologist coach who has provided a computer generated program that caused my brain to send signals to various organs and causes them to function.   She has more than 30 years of experience and a victim of lupus over 25 years ago.  Her coaching gave me balance to the supplements, juicing, drops and water.  She is available for phone consultation at:

Dr. Elaine Reedy

(770) 925-8473

Dr. Reedy uses a software program and gives me treatments that cause my brain to focus on an organ in my body.  The program tells the organ to function properly.  I take these treatments now every two weeks.  Since my cancer is around the pancreas, the treatments have focused more on this organ than any other.  I have discovered other nutritionist and chiropractors who use this same program.

Please know that all the information listed above is how I am fighting my cancer.  But I quickly want to add that hundred of people have been praying for me.  I know that God is going to heal me and I celebrate this.  But in my heart of hearts, I know that it is God that is doing this and not my holistic nutritional program.

Fish oil PCB levels subject of lawsuit:

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2, 2010 (UPI) — Makers and sellers of fish oil supplements were sued in California for not including labeling about PCB contamination, a plaintiff’s attorney said Tuesday.

“Consumers who want the health benefits of fish oil shouldn’t also have to take the health risks of an extremely toxic man-made chemical,” attorney David Roe said in a release. “And they don’t have to, since preliminary test results show that some fish oil brands have only 1/70th as much PCB contamination in them as others.”

The lawsuit contends the eight makers and sellers of fish oil, shark oil, fish liver oil and shark liver oil peddled as supplements have polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination above the “safe-harbor” limits set for human PCB consumption under California’s Proposition 65, which requires a warning label for consumers.

“The industry knows very well about the PCB problem in fish oils and widely markets its supplements as already treated for PCB contamination,” said Benson Chiles, a plaintiff in the case. “They have no excuse for what we’ve been finding.”

The defendants are CVS Pharmacy Inc., General Nutrition Corp., Now Health Group Inc., Omega Protein Inc.. Pharmavite LLC, Rite Aid Corp., Solgar Inc. and TwinLab Corp.

THE SHAKLEE DIFFERENCE — OmegaGuard

There was a lawsuit filed against a number of brands (not Shaklee) that raised some concerns, brands that used cod liver oil. There are NO safety issues with Shaklee’s OmegaGuard.

We use pharmaceutical grade fish oil, we use a molecular distillation process to remove contaminants like dioxins, mercury and PCB’s. Here’s the rest of the scoop.

Shaklee’s fish oil comes from highly purified whole fish –not from the liver of cod or shark (which the brands in the lawsuit used) which tend to accumulate these harmful compounds.

Shaklee helped create a monograph to establish the standard for quality and purity, including defining the limits for contaminants including dioxin, PCB’s, lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium.

SHAKLEE”S OMEGA GUARD – THE NEW STANDARD IN PURITY AND FULL-SPECTRUM POTENCY

Ultrapure and Pharmaceutical Grade:

OmegaGuard is made with a proprietary, triple molecular distillation process that concentrates the natural beneficial omega-3 fatty acids while removing harmful compounds like mercury and lead that are found in many types of fish.

World’s Finest Fish Oil:

Contains a full spectrum of seven naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids: EPA, DHA, ALA, and more. EPA benefits your heart and joints, while DHA is critical for brain development and function.*

* Helps reduce the risk of heart disease†
* Ultra pure, pharmaceutical grade, triple molecular distillation
* World’s finest fish oil with full spectrum potency of seven omega-3s
