My All Time FAVORITE Alternative/Holistic Cancer Resource- and it’s FREE! (but you need to sign up now!)

Seven years ago, when my husband and I began our research to heal my body naturally from cancer, we had to scour the internet for information on all of the different supplements, detox protocols, and dietary changes I would need to implement. Combined, we read over a dozen books, referenced countless others, poured over scores of medical studies and research articles, met survivors, attended a 12 day full service detox and living foods program, prayed incessantly, and more! – all to learn what we needed to know in order to confidently and intelligently stand up to our doctors, families, and friends for what we believed would be my ideal, God-given way to heal.

If only we would have had THIS…

The Truth About Cancer: A Global Quest- in all its glorious easy, DVD, digital format!

The Quest For the Cures Series Airing Again for FREE!

Banner for Free Live 11-day Docu-series Event March 30th - April 9th

I’ve gotten emails from several of you about when the “Quest for the Cures” will air again and the answer is VERY SOON! And the best part again- IT’S FREE!

The 11-part series will begin March 30th and air one episode each night until April 9th. Each episode will be available to stream for 24 hours after they originally air. After that, they will be available for purchase for a special promotional sale price through the link in this email.

I wrote a blog post last summer about Ty Bollinger traveling to Atlanta to interview me for the episode that included many other natural/ holistic cancer survivors other than myself (you can see me in Episode 11.) He compiled the entire series of interviews into 11 parts:

Episode 1 – Modern Medicine & The Cancer Pandemic
Episode 2 – Your First Line Of Defense
Episode 3 – Eliminate These “Dirty Dozen” To Prevent Cancer
Episode 4 – Your Secret Fountain Of Youth
Episode 5 – Nature’s Pharmacy
Episode 6 – Clean Foods & The Cancer Diet
Episode 7 – Diagnostic “Do’s & Dont’s” – Proven Treatment Protocols Part 1
Episode 8 – Proven Treatment Protocols Part 2
Episode 9 – Proven Treatment Protocols Part 3
Episode 10 – Doctor’s Orders
Episode 11 – How To Survive & Thrive

All you have to do is sign up by clicking THIS LINK and the information on how to view the series will be sent to your email.

There is nothing else like the Quest for the Cures out there. I wish all of this information (interviews with 28 doctors, 10 scientists, and 9 natural survivors,) would have been all in one resource like this when I was diagnosed almost 7 years ago. It would of saved us a ton of time and stress trying to find reputable sources for WHY and HOW alternative and natural cancer treatment works. It would also have been great to show my concerned family and friends!

I hope you’ll SIGN UP and share with your loved ones. You never know how it could change someone’s viewpoint or even save someone’s life.

The Quest for the Cures, Episode 7:
Survivors & Thrivers

ttac_interview

Hey everyone!  Last night was the last episode of The Quest for the Cures.  Fittingly, it featured Survivors and Thrivers on what was National Cancer Survivor Day in America.

I hope you have been watching, as each episode has been chock-full of invaluable information.  Last night’s episode also included my cancer story along with quite a few others.  I was really amazed at the severity of some of the other interviewee’s cancers, and inspired at how they have recovered using simple but very effective non-toxic methods.

New Look for Green Drink Diaries. Yay!

GreenDrink Diaries - New Look!

I’ve been waiting (and gently hinting to my wonderful husband, Kevin) to update and improve the functionality of my blog for a while now. Who knew this would require a whole new WordPress theme and lots of work tweaking old blog posts, correcting old links to work with the new theme, and resizing pictures to not look super tiny, etc, etc?

Yay for this new change! Please be patient with us (mainly my awesome hubs) as we take a big step into the new world of non-FREE blog themes. 🙂

And look forward to NEW super helpful and inspiring posts in the near future!  ~As a matter of fact, I have an exciting announcement starting next week!

Stay tuned! 🙂

A DIFFERENT Kind of Cancer Charity

Several times each year I am approached by a friend or family member with sweet intentions to raise money for a popular cancer charity. Whether they are running for the cure, relaying for life, or marathoning for lymphoma research, all of these charities have one thing in common:

THEY IGNORE NON-TOXIC, HOLISTIC CANCER THERAPIES.

I happen to have an affinity for alternative, nutrition-based approaches to cancer, seeing that I am alive today and thriving because of them. 

Each and every single day I am SO GRATEFUL to look at my two daughters and know that following a natural route to healing enabled me to have them. My husband and my decision was prayerful and well-researched for my particular case, but as the past 5 years have gone by I have met many other cancer survivors who have also chosen non-toxic therapies and are thriving.

Recently, along with several of these survivors, we have helped found Healing Strong. Our first endeavor will be the Healing Strong: Conference and Retreat in September of this year in Atlanta. This faith-based event will share information about non-toxic healing methods with others and provide support, so that they too can make prayerful and purposeful decisions in their cancer care. We also stress the importance of proper nutrition in nourishing the body, no matter what treatment plan you choose.

The reality is- there are BILLIONS of dollars donated to large, corporate-like cancer charities that primarily fund pharmaceutical research and turn a blind eye to the truth about non-toxic healing.

Healing Strong is 100% volunteer-run (primarily from our living rooms and home offices!) and WE NEED YOUR HELP. We can’t get the word out about natural, nutrition-based cancer therapies if we sit back and just hope something changes.

March on Monsanto: ATLANTA and the “GMO” Debate

“What do we want, LA-BELS! When do want’em? NOW!”

 

This was the chant of the crowd as the Atlanta “March on Monsanto” started off from Piedmont Park on May 30th . This was part of a worldwide protest against food mega-corporation, Monsanto, creator of genetically-modified seeds that are tainting our food supply in this country and around the world.

Rather than write an entire article about why GMO’s, or genetically modified organisms make us into a BIG SCIENCE EXPERIMENT, watch my favorite video on the topic. If you want to sound intelligent when discussing GMO’s at your next lunch outing or date, this is a great video to give you the basics in an entertaining way.

I totally get what GMO-proponents say about the premise and possibility of a food shortage (Grow Food, Not Lawns!), but I personally prefer to buy organic vegetables and fruits and base the vast majority of my diet on plant-based nutrition for now. I also think it is incredibly important for many of us to slowly begin to understand how to grow our own organic food.

Cup of Joy Ministries Health Talk with Sandra Stanley

This morning I was so honored to be asked by my friend Sandra Stanley to give a health talk and smoothie demonstration for Atlanta-based, Cup of Joy Ministries. What a WONDERFUL group of women with a heart for Jesus and for leading others in relationship with Him. I couldn’t help but relate how honoring our bodies by eating mostly plant-based, unadulterated food could only bring us closer in relationship to the One who created us!

I shared this, along with my cancer story there, but also a whole bunch of tips and resources, a few of which I wanted to go head and place here on the blog. Here they go…

Healing Strong Conference and Retreat: Atlanta September 13-15, 2013

This past Fall I received an email from Suzy Griswold, a holistic thyroid cancer survivor also living here in Atlanta. I was so excited to meet someone in-person with the same background/experience in cancer treatment I had! We met up over green tea in December when she shared with me her God-given desire to create a cancer retreat that would support/educate people about non-toxic therapies with all glory given to God.

I couldn’t have been more on board or excited at the prospect of bringing people together to learn about cancer therapies that would RESTORE and HEAL the body, all while praising the one who HEALS us!
