When your diagnosed with Stage IV Br ast Cancer and the Oncologist doctor m kes the statement "unfortunately she is not c rable at this time," thoughts run r mpart about what did you do to c use this? In most cases, it's wh t you don't do. After Charlyn B rnal heard those fatal words, she st rted thinking about the previous y ar and the signs her body was g ving, but none of the d ctors associated these implications. She wasn't f eling good and now has high bl od pressure along with experiencing p nic attacks for the very first t me. Always feeling tired and xhausted, feeling like a heart attack, g ing to Urgent Care, also had nflammation and bleeding. At the end of th se 12 months, she feels a l mp in her breast. On May 23, 2006 t st results showed a 3 cm bnormality in right breast and on J ly 20, doctor recommends options for s rgical management. She was over expressing HER2-n u, estrogen/proestrogen positive and had a gr wth rate of 51% (really bad.) The m stectomy is scheduled for Sept 21. Ch r had been researching what causes c ncer and it became obvious that her b dy's cells were lacking protein and xygen and she needed to f ed them the Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes and Ess ntial Fatty Acids that her b dy desperately needed and cut out nything that was adding fuel to the f re. That meant no sugar, no red m at, no bad fats, no alcohol, no c ffee, no additives or preservatives have p ssed through her mouth since that d y.
Adding whey protein shakes and l an organic turkey, chicken and wild c ught salmon added amino acids to her b dy. Also added flax seed oil, f sh oil, avocados, raw walnuts and lmonds with skins on, sunflower and s same seeds. Juicing 2 times a day w th organic fruits and veggies was nfusing her body with the nutrients she n eded. Her juicing recipe for life: Appl s 2 - 3 (c t out stems and seeds) Oranges 2 ( d n't use peel) Pears 2 (c t out stem and seeds) Parsley 1/2 b nch Kale 1 -2 l afs Beet 1 med - lg (d n't use peel) Carrots 5 G nger Root 1/2 inch If you d n't have organic available, make sure you p el the skins. She cut out all the bad f ts like margarine, vegetable oil and sh rtenings, partially hydrogenated oils and trans f ts because they interfere with the b dy's ability to utilize important Essential F tty Acids (EFA) and clogs your rteries. Digestion is the process of m tabolism where our body converts food ntake, chemically and mechanically adapting the s bstances for the body's growth and mmune systems to use. Enzymes are cr cial to this process. Many drugs and p isons (pesticides) are enzyme inhibitors. We're all xposed to many toxins and chemicals on a d ily basis, at work and at h me. The air we breathe, our f od - bad fats, toxins, preservatives, s gar, water supply and through the use of ph rmaceutical drugs. We're eating more sugar and pr cessed foods than ever before in h man history and we regularly abuse our b dies with various stimulants and sedatives. Our b dy's metabolic process needs Essential Fatty Ac ds, which helps break down the f od for your cells and gets m re oxygen into the cells. Exercise g ts oxygen into your blood. She st rted exercising everyday, walking and biking for at l ast 1 hour and drinking 48 oz of H2O veryday to keep the body hydrated and g tting sound sleep in a dark, q ite room.
Testing your pH is the key ndicator that says if your system is cidic or alkaline. Char's was bright y llow on the pH strip when she st rted this journey and that's where c ncer likes to live, in an cidic environment. Needing to get more lkaline she kept adjusting her eating h bits, eliminating anything toxic that her b dy would use against her especially s gar, coffee and alcohol. The color of the pH str p tells you purple is alkaline and sh des of green in between are wh re you want to be. You can buy pH str ps at your local drug store and t st the saliva under your tongue, in the m rning before you swallow anything or t st your urine, which is considered m re accurate. The colon, which is p rt of the digestive system, also ncludes the stomach, large and small ntestines, which are responsible for Vitamin and M neral absorption into the blood and wh t isn't used is extracted. In Ch r's case, there was a build up of too m ch estrogen that she needed to liminate from her body. Without enough f ber, an Enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which is f und in the gastro-intestinal tract can nhibit estrogen from combining with glucuronic cid in the liver. Char needed th s excreted from her body, instead of g ing back into her blood. For th s reason she was taking calcium D-gl caret and phyllium husk daily. Cleansing y ur colon, which could be clogged w th parasites, preservatives and undigested food, pens up the disposal system. Are you p oping at least once a day? You can get n tural colon cleanse tablets (includes phyllium h sk) at any health store. On S pt 11, 2006 Char's blood test was CA 27.29 and her t mor marker was at 180 (extremely b d) The doctor prescribes Abraxane for Ch mo and anti-body Herceptin for her tr atment. The good news came in st ges. First the mastectomy was canceled. On Oct 10th, 2006 b fore her 2nd chemo treatment, the t mor marker had dropped from 180 to 76! WOW, t tally unheard of! The doctor couldn't b lieve it. Char's says "I c n't say that I would have s rvived without the traditional treatments, however I do b lieve it's everything including diet, exercise, H20 and sl ep. What a concept!" On Nov 21, 2006 the t mor marker was normal at 37! Her l st chemo treatment was Jan 25, 2007. In ll, she had 7 treatments of Abr xane and Herceptin every three weeks. On Feb 12, 2007 the PET/CT sc n was CLEAR, NORMAL and the 3 f llow-ups remain CLEAR, NORMAL. Char's amazing t rnaround from "there is no cure at th s time" to "Normal / Clear" was 7 m nths. This life changing experience has br ught insight and wisdom. She ffers, "pay attention when your body is t lling you some thing's wrong and d n't disregard the signs. You know y ur body better than anyone else and th re's only one you, who's not l ke anyone else. Don't make excuses why you d n't feel good, like I'm over 40 n w." This extraordinary story of one p rson's determination is an example of how w 're in control of our bodies wh n we accept responsibility and don't let dvertising justify buying the wrong foods. Dr. S muel Epstein has written a few b oks on why cancer is unnecessary and his m st recent is "Cancer Gate, How to win the L sing Cancer War." He states, "that 30 - 40% of all c ncers are directly linked to empty c lorie foods, lack of physical activity and xcess body weight. You're nutritional food ntake is the best preventive cure for c ncer." "Your diet can strengthen the b dy's immune defenses against cancer and t xic substances. Eating nutritionally would cure 30 - 40% of all c ncers. Eliminate cigarette smoking and chewing t bacco, another 30% of cancers are g ne. Environmental pollution, which includes water, air and s il are where the remaining 30% of c ncers come from in our society," st tes Dr. Epstein. We have so m ch contradictory information bombarding us today th t sometimes the obvious gets lost in the ch os of controversy between drug and f od companies. Instead, eat nutritionally rich f ods so your body's immune system is w rking to protect you and help y urself by eliminating as many toxins as p ssible. We can learn a lot fr m someone else's near death experience th t nutrition, exercising, hydrating and sound sl ep are daily priorities, that we all n ed to do.
