As I write this article, I am sitting deep in the woods laying in a magical meadow. All around me are the mystical sounds of nature. I can hear a myriad of birds singing their love songs to each other. The chipmunk, squirrels, and little creatures on chirping. I can hear the wind as it curses through the pines and leaves. As I breathe in, I am encompassed and enveloped with the wonderful scents that have helped to heal me over the past seven years.
There is enormous healing power and energy in nature. Much more than most people realize. It is a shame that there has been a significant rift between conventional medicine and the so called alternative/holistic field. Both sides offer enormous benefits to patients worldwide.
I would personally like to speer-head a truce between the two sides. A marriage (of sorts) of these two parties is way overdue. My very survival was largely dependent upon realizing and actualizing both sides.
The majority of major medical centers across the country that I visited told me to stay away from natural medicine. Many told me that these supplements would decrease my survival time and increase my demise. I was very saddened by their response. After I left each facility, I reassessed my nutritional and natural protocols. Moreover, I researched everything that I did. Then I came up with new plans to complement the conventional treatments that I was receiving. I took supplements including wheatgrass, vitamin D, fish oil, quercitin, bromelain, and others. My research led me to starting a strict alkaline diet and juicing.
Kathleen and I would often take treks towards the ocean and woods during my medical journeys. We would meditate, pray, hug trees, and let nature heal and renew us. God put the good earth and all of the power within it for a reason. It's high time that we accept and utilize this wonderful, precious and sacred resource. The patients I talk to and counsel are starving for their souls to be fed. Moreover, their immune systems are craving precious nutrients. The latest cutting edge/integrative advances will be coming here soon on my new website: www.cancerstrategies.org and www.cancer-central.net. Please also, don't forget these words that saved my life: "It's possible. There is a way. Never give up."
