Out of hiding

Hi everyone,

I've always said that I only like to post blogs when I have positive things to say. These past several months have been extremely difficult and stressful for me, but I am finally beginning to feel empowered again and ready to catch you up on this crazy journey of mine. I have gone through alot of changes physically, mentally and emotionally as of late. I truly feel however, that I am now on the right path. I apologize for distancing myself to friends and family, but I am the type of person that will go into hiding until I have everything figured out in my head and can emerge with renewed focus, power, and strength. My goal is writing these blogs is to help empower other people on their journeys, and I can only do that when I am well in body, mind, and spirit.

Since November 2008, I have been on a very strict healing/alkaline protocol. I was doing extremely well with it. My blood counts were improving, my energy and vitality was returning and I was feeling good. Somewhere along the line, I got a bit cocky. Because I was feeling good, I started slacking on the program. Eventually, I started noticing my energy decreasing and new pain happening in my body. In my mind, I figured that my body was still transitioning, and I was out of shape from not dancing as often. Because I was fatigued, I was not exercising much. One day after a hike, my back was really aching. The next morning, I was bent over cleaning, I sneezed and severly threw my back out. I was in bed the next three days. I had many visits with my chiropractor and got alot of help and advice from my uncle who is a chiropractor too. We all concluded that I was out of shape and getting older, so I would be more prone to these issues. I did not connect the fact that my slacking on the program had anything to do with this. The more time went on, the more pain I felt in different areas. I was getting injured right and left but I wasn't doing anything strenuous to warrant these injuries. I knew I'd lost quite a bit of muscle in my body, but I couldn't be THIS out of shape, I thought. This didn't make sense. Also, my hair began shedding more than usual and I was getting very depressed. Must be some nutritional deficiency, I thought. Or stress? I was very stressed over finances, my husband and I had not been getting along, I just felt miserable and so confused!

In June 2009, I figured I better check in with my oncologist, get a petscan and see where I'm at. It had been 9 months since my last scan, so it was time. Because of all these issues I'd been having, I was quite terrified to get my results. As I knew in my heart, but didn't want to believe to be true, it WAS more cancer. The petscan showed numerous bone lesions on my upper and lower spine, hips, and left posterior femoral shaft. (thigh bone) The great news is that it's not in any of my organs, it is no longer in my sternum, and it is moving slowly.

Ok...so I've just got more work to do! Let's go! I planned to meet with Dr. Young again to formulate a more intensive, stricter, healing protocol. I've got to go 100% if I wanna start reversing this crap. I met with Dr. Young's collegue, Dr. Matea who is just amazing. After reviewing my petscan, and looking at my live and dried blood, the plan for me is this.... 12 weeks on a liquid and pureed food diet, sodium bicarbonate iv drips 5 days a week, (to hyperalkalize the body) colonics, lymphatic massage, far-infared sauna treatments, and exercise on a regular basis. I now have 3 wonderful holistic doctors coaching me and working with me to help reverse this condition for good. I also will be monitoring my progress with my oncologist through bloodwork and scans on a regular basis.

I am NOT messing around anymore. I am on a mission and I am determined to kick cancer's ass for good! Its been about 5 weeks on the cleanse now, and 3 weeks with the rest of the treatment. The pain in my lower spine has already significantly decreased, but the pain in my left posterial femoral shaft is still quite intense and causes me to limp. I am taking pain medication regularly so I can function, but I really want to try and stop that asap. I began swimming as my main source of exercise, which has been amazing. It really helps to get the toxins moving out of my body and I notice a significant decrease in pain every time I swim. I've also lost 15 pounds as an added bonus! :) And my energy is through the roof!

I know that this is the right path for me. I am feeling focused, empowered, strong, determined, and I'm not letting anything stand in my way! Its all up to me! I have the power to turn this thing around and I refuse to give up. I have once again been given a renewed sense of joy and gratitude in life. Changes are happening all around me and I continue to be blessed. The challenges I continue to face have made me a better person, and I am very proud of who I am at this moment.

Many blessings to all of you today. Know that God is good, miracles happen, and the world is full of endless possibilities. Good journey friends!
