INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the second edition of From Cancer to Wellness: the forgotten secrets.

Apart from the extensive research I have done over the years, which I followed, and has contributed to my own good health and wellbeing, I have had the pleasure of successfully guiding and working with so many wonderful people ever since and not just those with a cancer diagnosis. Many other chronic illnesses can be overcome by using sensible healthy steps as explained in this handbook.

You yourself have been led to this self-help handbook for a real and exciting purpose: to change your life and the outcome of your diagnosis.

Most of us are searching for better health, happiness and longevity, but it often takes a ‘wake-up call’ to set us on the right track to achieve these goals. This book is an answer to such a wake-up call. It is a call to change your direction in life, to avoid an early death, and start enjoying vibrant health and wellbeing, leaving the fear of cancer behind you.

I know you will be able to implement these simple principles daily as you move forward into a better quality of life. Along the way you will meet some amazing people who have overcome the same prognosis as yourself simply by following the guidelines in this handbook.

Most people think the human body has to feel ill to get cancer. This is not true. Healthy and fit people develop malignant cancers without any warning at all. Many of them end up thankful for the journey which led them into unknown territory that turned out to be valuable to their personal growth and development; I am one of these people myself.

I am not a medical doctor, nor am I a qualified naturopath. I am not here to give you medical advice. I am someone, just like you, who has experienced the fear and reality of being told they have cancer. I was told to ‘get my affairs in order’ and ‘inform my relatives’ and ‘wind down and get ready to die’. A terrible thing to say to anyone.

I believe that telling someone they are going to die is extremely unethical. It takes away ‘faith,’ faith in our own body to heal given the right tools.

I personally refused to lie down and die just because an oncologist said I should. I know so many people need to know how to put into practice what I did, no matter what the cancer, because the conventional treatment of cancer cannot be cured by toxic chemicals such as chemotherapy and/or radiation.

Look at the statistics at a glance:

‘Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2012, there were 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. The number of new cancer cases will rise to 22 million within the next two decades.’

National Cancer Institute – https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/statistics.

My frustration is that, most of the population, even with these statistics out there, remain totally convinced that polluting the body with these toxic chemicals is going to save their life. We have been, for so long now, blind-sided by the medical industry that is supposed to protect us.

In 1938, Dr E.H. Ruddock wrote in his book Vitalogy: ‘In the preparation of this book over ten years of labor and great expense have been devoted to the collection, both in this and foreign countries, of Food and Harmless home remedies for all disease, which neither injure health nor destroy life.’

Hippocrates Oath is an oath historically taken by physicians: ‘First, do no harm.’ Doctors today are still challenged to hold to this moral principle. We give our hearts and souls to medical practitioners because they hold a university degree. Most doctors have not been trained in functional medicine. They can intimidate you and make you feel like you must follow their protocols or else! They insist you take their drugs.

They themselves are brain-washed academics who know absolutely nothing about the benefits of using ‘Food as medicine’, gut health, exercise, and the power of the mind.

You just have to go into our hospitals to observe the type of food that is served to patients in their care. Disgusting! I would not even put this rubbish in my compost let alone in my body at any time.

I have witnessed so many people die due to the result of surgery, medications, chemotherapy and/or radiation. Pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars each year because we believe the rubbish that is drummed into us. What is scary is the fact that the majority of the medical fraternity believe wholeheartedly in what the pharmaceutical companies tell them. Most of the community live in fear instead of Faith and support a healthcare system that often kills them.

Then there are those who state their pill, potion or miracle lotion is going to heal your body. No wonder the so-called alternative health industry gets a bad name. Mind you, why do the oncologists still remain God to many? Beats me!

‘The answer to conquer and prevent cancer is nutrition. Very few people are aware of this. Nutrition needs to be provided at the soul, spirit, emotional and physical level. This means we need to nourish our soul, mind and spirit and body with good quality nutrition. Kristine Matheson has made a very significant contribution to preventing and conquering cancer by spreading the word through her book about the importance of nutrition in keeping a healthy body and in restoring harmony into people’s lives by means of daily nutrition.’

Dr Carlos Orozco, BCs, MSc, ND, PhD, Adv Dip Nutr.

Since my first edition was published in 2009, thousands of people around the world have successfully put into practice the information incorporated in this handbook. It is as a result of my success and the success of others that has prompted me to write a second edition. I want to help even more people to come to understand cancer and its effect on people, and for them to safely navigate their way around it.

By putting the information from this book into practice, you can take control of your life, and improve your health. Please treat it as your personal coaching manual.

Although there are many books on cancer, its causes and cures, I found for myself when diagnosed with cancer that there was absolutely nothing that gave me a step-by-step guide to help me overcome my health issues. I know the program I have developed during years of study and experience will become an easy one for you to follow. It does not have to be overwhelming. All you have to do is just sit quietly, let go of fear (because fear is one of our biggest enemies) and take in the information provided. Take it slow and feel as though I am holding your hand. Remember, I did the program as written. Use it as your Bible, and please do not skip a protocol. Success is in the full application. If you are buying and reading this for a loved one, then it might be wonderful for you to also use this program as a preventative practice. Not enough of us work on prevention. We seem to think we are invincible; we maintain our cars and homes better than we look after our body. Our body is our vehicle, so we must maintain it and service it to create our own good health and wellbeing.

In addition to cancer, I have experienced chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia through having Epstein Barr Virus, anxiety attacks, business stress, the loss of financial stability and sadly the loss of a child. I am happy to share with you what I have learnt and how I took power over these conditions and situations, and what’s more, how I beat terminal stage IV metastasized melanoma cancer in a few months.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was ‘lucky’. I had already been told I was going to die and there was nothing they could do for me. Because of this, I was not pressured to submit my already ailing body to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. I hear tragic stories all the time about the intimidation people undergo to use these methods on their body when told they have cancer. It does sadden me listening to these stories. It is not the cancer that will kill you, it is the effects of chemotherapy, radiation and other medical procedures that have such terrible side effects that will take a life.

Mind you, if you do not get your body back into balance that may also result in an early death.

I personally turned to what I knew, and added to my knowledge in order to find a cure for my condition without medical intervention. I used my intuition most of all and I truly believe that if we all did this instead of running in the darkness filled with fear, we would all know to nourish the body, not destroy it.

I now pass on this accumulated knowledge to you with love and compassion.

I understand the journey you are taking, and I can assure you that there is an answer that can complement the functional medical profession. Medical practitioners do not address, as I do, the underlying causes of disease. I have touched briefly on the way most medical practitioners are not what we are led to believe. However, I will not dwell on this negative aspect, or how ‘the powers that be’ have outlawed natural cancer cures and promoted pharmaceutical company interests. There is a great deal of scientific evidence that can be found to support natural cancer therapies, not to mention some dynamic crusaders out there educating the public with the truth about cancer.

Please give yourself time to read this handbook to the end before making your personal plan for self-renewal, together with a new plan for the remainder of your life.

You need a plan that will not only save your life, but also help you enjoy every day in your new lifestyle.

My passion is to see everyone gain power over their own life by enhancing not only their immune system, but also building up self-esteem in order to gain empowerment.

I wish you good health on your personal journey. Please keep in touch if you need further information. My email is: [e-mail], or register for my newsletter for recipe updates via my website: www.cancertowellness.com.

Embrace the journey you are about to take and most importantly:

Believe in yourself.

IN HEALTH THERE IS FREEDOM!

CHAPTER 1

CAUSE AND EFFECT

The causes of disease are many and varied. The most obvious, from my point of view and after years of research, are:

•lack of good nutrition

•stress

•viruses

•lack of exercise

•pollution

•destructive thoughts

•use of tobacco and alcohol abuse.

Billions of dollars are spent on cancer research yearly, without finding a reliable cure. With cell research, microbiological information, nanotechnology, genomic testing, and experience from the past, one would have thought a cure for cancer would have been found by now. The lack of results leads one to ask, ‘Will they ever find a cure?’ and, ‘If not, why not?’ I don’t believe they will–not unless some other disease arises to replace cancer and enable research funds to continue to flow into the pharmaceutical industry. They do not see a cure as viable as improving their profitability.

Interestingly, according to the medical industry’s own findings, the cause of 95 per cent of disease is still a mystery. This raises the question: How can the medical profession treat a disease if they do not know the
