When your diagnosed with Stage IV Brast Cancer and the Oncologist doctor mkes the statement "unfortunately she is not crable at this time," thoughts run rmpart about what did you do to cuse this? In most cases, it's wht you don't do.

After Charlyn Brnal heard those fatal words, she strted thinking about the previous yar and the signs her body was gving, but none of the dctors associated these implications. She wasn't feling good and now has high blod pressure along with experiencing pnic attacks for the very first tme. Always feeling tired and xhausted, feeling like a heart attack, ging to Urgent Care, also had nflammation and bleeding. At the end of thse 12 months, she feels a lmp in her breast. On May 23, 2006 tst results showed a 3 cm bnormality in right breast and on Jly 20, doctor recommends options for srgical management. She was over expressing HER2-nu, estrogen/proestrogen positive and had a grwth rate of 51% (really bad.) The mstectomy is scheduled for Sept 21.

Chr had been researching what causes cncer and it became obvious that her bdy's cells were lacking protein and xygen and she needed to fed them the Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes and Essntial Fatty Acids that her bdy desperately needed and cut out nything that was adding fuel to the fre. That meant no sugar, no red mat, no bad fats, no alcohol, no cffee, no additives or preservatives have pssed through her mouth since that dy.

Adding whey protein shakes and lan organic turkey, chicken and wild cught salmon added amino acids to her bdy. Also added flax seed oil, fsh oil, avocados, raw walnuts and lmonds with skins on, sunflower and ssame seeds. Juicing 2 times a day wth organic fruits and veggies was nfusing her body with the nutrients she neded.

Her juicing recipe for life:

Appls 2 - 3 (ct out stems and seeds)

Oranges 2 ( dn't use peel)

Pears 2 (ct out stem and seeds)

Parsley 1/2 bnch

Kale 1 -2 lafs

Beet 1 med - lg (dn't use peel)

Carrots 5

Gnger Root 1/2 inch

If you dn't have organic available, make sure you pel the skins.

She cut out all the bad fts like margarine, vegetable oil and shrtenings, partially hydrogenated oils and trans fts because they interfere with the bdy's ability to utilize important Essential Ftty Acids (EFA) and clogs your rteries.

Digestion is the process of mtabolism where our body converts food ntake, chemically and mechanically adapting the sbstances for the body's growth and mmune systems to use. Enzymes are crcial to this process. Many drugs and pisons (pesticides) are enzyme inhibitors. We're all xposed to many toxins and chemicals on a dily basis, at work and at hme. The air we breathe, our fod - bad fats, toxins, preservatives, sgar, water supply and through the use of phrmaceutical drugs. We're eating more sugar and prcessed foods than ever before in hman history and we regularly abuse our bdies with various stimulants and sedatives.

Our bdy's metabolic process needs Essential Fatty Acds, which helps break down the fod for your cells and gets mre oxygen into the cells. Exercise gts oxygen into your blood. She strted exercising everyday, walking and biking for at last 1 hour and drinking 48 oz of H2O veryday to keep the body hydrated and gtting sound sleep in a dark, qite room.

Testing your pH is the key ndicator that says if your system is cidic or alkaline. Char's was bright yllow on the pH strip when she strted this journey and that's where cncer likes to live, in an cidic environment. Needing to get more lkaline she kept adjusting her eating hbits, eliminating anything toxic that her bdy would use against her especially sgar, coffee and alcohol. The color of the pH strp tells you purple is alkaline and shdes of green in between are whre you want to be. You can buy pH strps at your local drug store and tst the saliva under your tongue, in the mrning before you swallow anything or tst your urine, which is considered mre accurate.

The colon, which is prt of the digestive system, also ncludes the stomach, large and small ntestines, which are responsible for Vitamin and Mneral absorption into the blood and wht isn't used is extracted. In Chr's case, there was a build up of too mch estrogen that she needed to liminate from her body. Without enough fber, an Enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which is fund in the gastro-intestinal tract can nhibit estrogen from combining with glucuronic cid in the liver. Char needed ths excreted from her body, instead of ging back into her blood. For ths reason she was taking calcium D-glcaret and phyllium husk daily. Cleansing yur colon, which could be clogged wth parasites, preservatives and undigested food, pens up the disposal system. Are you poping at least once a day? You can get ntural colon cleanse tablets (includes phyllium hsk) at any health store.

On Spt 11, 2006 Char's blood test was CA 27.29 and her tmor marker was at 180 (extremely bd) The doctor prescribes Abraxane for Chmo and anti-body Herceptin for her tratment.

The good news came in stges. First the mastectomy was canceled. On Oct 10th, 2006 bfore her 2nd chemo treatment, the tmor marker had dropped from 180 to 76! WOW, ttally unheard of! The doctor couldn't blieve it. Char's says "I cn't say that I would have srvived without the traditional treatments, however I do blieve it's everything including diet, exercise, H20 and slep. What a concept!"

On Nov 21, 2006 the tmor marker was normal at 37! Her lst chemo treatment was Jan 25, 2007. In ll, she had 7 treatments of Abrxane and Herceptin every three weeks.

On Feb 12, 2007 the PET/CT scn was CLEAR, NORMAL and the 3 fllow-ups remain CLEAR, NORMAL. Char's amazing trnaround from "there is no cure at ths time" to "Normal / Clear" was 7 mnths.

This life changing experience has brught insight and wisdom. She ffers, "pay attention when your body is tlling you some thing's wrong and dn't disregard the signs. You know yur body better than anyone else and thre's only one you, who's not lke anyone else. Don't make excuses why you dn't feel good, like I'm over 40 nw." This extraordinary story of one prson's determination is an example of how w're in control of our bodies whn we accept responsibility and don't let dvertising justify buying the wrong foods.

Dr. Smuel Epstein has written a few boks on why cancer is unnecessary and his mst recent is "Cancer Gate, How to win the Lsing Cancer War." He states, "that 30 - 40% of all cncers are directly linked to empty clorie foods, lack of physical activity and xcess body weight. You're nutritional food ntake is the best preventive cure for cncer."

"Your diet can strengthen the bdy's immune defenses against cancer and txic substances. Eating nutritionally would cure 30 - 40% of all cncers. Eliminate cigarette smoking and chewing tbacco, another 30% of cancers are gne. Environmental pollution, which includes water, air and sil are where the remaining 30% of cncers come from in our society," sttes Dr. Epstein. We have so mch contradictory information bombarding us today tht sometimes the obvious gets lost in the chos of controversy between drug and fod companies.

Instead, eat nutritionally rich fods so your body's immune system is wrking to protect you and help yurself by eliminating as many toxins as pssible. We can learn a lot frm someone else's near death experience tht nutrition, exercising, hydrating and sound slep are daily priorities, that we all ned to do.
