believe we all know someone who is either battling cancer, is in remission, or has passed away from cancer. It’s mind-boggling to all of us: what works, what doesn’t work, and the stress of not knowing the answer adds to the disease. We have to really listen to our bodies, work with naturopathic doctors who focus on prevention, and customize what foods and modalities work for our individual needs. Being a person who loves and cares for the ocean Connecting with long and the marine life, I recently watched a Netflix docuterm ocean loving friend is a sure way to good health mentary called Chasing Coral. As I put this letter together, I would call it the cancer of coral. Both beauty and death in vast quantities are portrayed all over the world’s coral reefs. I feel like cancer is another man-made environmental crisis that we have created. Hidden under the ocean, it’s out of sight and mind for most of us. Like mental health, it’s the last thing we look at because it’s hidden deep inside and we don’t take action until it attacks our physical health, much like dying coral affects our entire eco system. I finally enrolled in Julie Chippendale’s Mindfulness Class after promoting her and her class for seven years. My main goal is to enhance my meditation skills and learn to live in the moment. While working on my inner growth, I’m also working on Natural Awakenings’ growth and rethinking how I distribute and promote my publication to San Diego. I am vastly increasing my distribution and lowering my advertising costs. My investment and time is ignited with my passion to spread the word of natural prevention and remedies that exist and to attract more community partners to participate in my publication. It takes a village to raise a publication and health awareness. I urge my readers, practitioners, healers and others of like-mind to join us in the crusade to save our loved ones and our planet.

newsbriefs Sound Vibration and Herbal Medicine Combine to Create Unique CBD Pain Relief Salve

ife-long musician Marc Malin, bodyworker, sound healer and founder of Sound Touch Therapy in Solana Beach, believes that sound is the future of medicine. That is why it is no surprise that this vibrational medicine healer has created a new product which infuses sound therapy into a holistic pain relief salve for maximum healing benefits. “The principal behind using sound infusion is the same as the principals behind homeopathy. It creates an energetic signature,” shares Malin. Sound Touch Therapeutic CBD Pain Relief Salve is infused with sound healing vibes at 528 hertz, which according to vibrational energy theory, is the vibration of love, healing and miracles. The salve helps relieve inflammation; muscle aches, pains and spasms; and joint and nerve pain. This energy medicine contains CBD oil, castor oil, arnica oil, Saint John’s Wort oil, kukui nut oil, non-GMO hemp seed oil, organic coconut oil, beeswax, and an essential oil blend with warming oils like ginger and frankincense that give the salve a wonderful scent. Each jar has a guaranteed potency of 100 milligrams of CBD per container, and it does not contain THC–therefore legal in all states. “It feels great, it smells great, and above all, it works great,” adds Malin. To celebrate the launch of his new product, for a limited time, Malin is offering free shipping in the contiguous U.S. for both the one ounce and two ounce sizes. Cost: One-ounce jar $35; two-ounce jar $45. To order, visit MarcSoundTouch. com. Sound Touch is located in Global Heart Sanctuary, 731 South Hwy. 101, in Solana Beach. Call 505-469-0758.

eventspotlights 12-week Sistership Circle

ocal empowerment coach Caroline Andrews is excited to announce that she is starting a 12-week Sistership Circle on August 7. “Have you been looking for a place that provides safety to create, love, dance, laugh, cry or just be? A place where your authentic self is always celebrated? A place you can open up to share desires, thoughts and feelings?” she asks. “Then join me for this fun experience to build sisterhood, meditate, laugh and connect.” According to Andrews, those who participate in sistership circle sharing, activities and meditations will leave feeling grounded, connected, rejuvenated, loved and present. “We are rising, Sisters,” she explains. “It’s our time to rise into visibility, express our voice and contribute our gifts to shape the future of our world.” Andrews has dedicated over 15 years to studying spirituality, relationships, yoga and personal development and has found the keys to pleasure, health and relationships for women—especially those over 40. She spends her life teaching, instructing and coaching women to take full ownership of their lives, create amazing relationships with themselves and others, and use pleasure to power all aspects of who they are and what they want with her signature programs. “The great secret about feminine power that I’ve discovered is that it’s not something we can unlock by ourselves. To create a world where women can rise, we need to create a culture between women that celebrates and amplifies each other’s power. We need to be mirrored, supported, challenged and championed by each other to come to unleash our brilliance,” explains Andrews. “Are you with me?” Time: Potluck will be held at 6:30 p.m. followed by circle from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information and to sign up, visit SistershipCircle.com/caroline-circle.

PUBLISHER'S PICK Women’s Wisdom

n this month’s letter from the publisher, I mentioned that I’m adding more distribution locations. I am also adding more time for attending network meetings and events. Natural Awakenings has sponsored Women’s Wisdom since I first started my publication and it keeps on getting better. I felt the passion and dedication of Women’s Wisdom visionary founder, Judy Foster, from the get go. Her company’s motto is “women empowering women in friendship and business”—and boy does it succeed at that! The momentum of empowered women keeps growing. The speakers, venue and members, along with a really good lunch menu to choose from, makes for a successful event. Men, too, are welcomed and embraced. They are outnumbered which means they get that much more attention. So men, come on in and join us, too. Women’s Wisdom offers more than just monthly meetings. It’s an amazing blend of friendship, education, mastermind groups, inspiration, synchronicity, professional success and lifelong connections. Attend a meeting and see for yourself. Hope to see you there! For more information, visit WomensWisdom.net.

Know your CBDs by Robbin Lynn

t’s been nearly a decade since our company introduced one of the first Cannabidiol (CBD) rich strains grown by Lawrence Ringo to San Diego County. Back then, we couldn’t give it away. People would buy it and then call us a day or two later telling us it didn’t do anything for them. That’s because they were expecting the usual “high” effect that cannabis rich in THC will induce. As time went on, more and more people found the lingering effects of CBD use had decreased their pain, inflammation and anxiety. They reported an overall sense of calm, focus and wellness. In addition, those who tended toward paranoia with THC, found that it tempered the effects and made their cannabis use more enjoyable. Fast forward to 2013 when Dr. Sanjay Gupta announced that he was wrong about cannabis and the societal stigma which surrounds it. This was quickly followed by the media coverage of little Charlotte Figi and her seizures and the cannabis strain, Charlotte’s Web, that was named for her. These events launched the CBD discussion, and its merits began to be noticed and take hold—namely that CBD was undoubtedly a powerful analgesic, antiinflammatory and anti-anxiety remedy, without intoxicating effects. Today, people are seeing mail and advertisements in all forms touting the benefits of CBD oils. The trouble is that not all CBD is equal and many people are spending hard-earned money on

San Diego Edition

products with little medicinal value. Ultimately, as with anything we put into our bodies—and especially with products being marketed as CBD oil— it’s vital to know what exactly we are buying, where it’s coming from, and what’s in it. To fully understand the benefits of CBD, it’s necessary to first recognize the difference between hemp oil, hemp and cannabis. As a society, we use the terms interchangeably, thinking they are one in the same. While they may look similar when growing, hemp and cannabis plants are quite different in their phytochemical composition. Hemp oil is derived from seeds and/or stalks of the hemp plant. Hemp or Cannabis ruderalis, is ideal for making clothing, textiles, paper, biofuel and more. While it does contain CBD, it lacks the additional compounds found in cannabis. Cannabis, or Cannabis sativa/Cannabis indica, is rich in cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes; CBD being just one of the naturally occurring compounds. Hemp seed does not contain any of the compounds found in the hemp or cannabis plant. However, the seeds are very rich in omegas and proteins. From a nutritional perspective, studies have shown hemp seed to have outstanding value for our bodies. Molecule for molecule, Cannabidiol (CBD) derived from hemp or cannabis is exactly the same. What’s important to consider when looking to use CBD for medicinal purposes, are NA-SD.com

the additional compounds found in cannabis. It is the combination of all compounds such as CBG, THC, CBC and terpenes like beta-caryophyllene that work synergistically to activate our body’s natural endocannabinoid system. This process is commonly referred to as the entourage effect. Here’s a quick checklist to use when selecting products labelled as CBD oil: Is the main ingredient hemp seed oil or hemp oil? If yes, the product is a nutritional supplement and won’t necessarily help with your medical complaints. Recently a friend showed me a product she purchased online. The ingredients stated it contained 375 milligrams of hemp oil and 15 milligrams of CBD. While the CBD was hemp derived, there is nothing else in the capsules to fully activate the 15 milligrams of CBD. Is the main ingredient Cannabidiol (CBD)? If yes, is it derived from hemp or cannabis? A challenge for consumers today is lack of transparency as to the origins of the hemp-derived CBD. Where and how the hemp is cultivated is critical. Hemp is used for phytoremediation because it absorbs contaminants and toxins from the soil. While this is fantastic for the planet, it’s not such a good thing when looking to put a derivative of the plant into your body. For the safest and healthiest product, look for CBD that is organically grown in the U.S. If the CBD is cannabis derived, it will most likely have small levels of THC, terpenes or other cannabinoids listed on the label. You will need a medical marijuana recommendation to purchase these products due to Cannabis’s classification as a Schedule I substance. Again, look for products derived from organically grown cannabis. What other ingredients are in the oil? Do you really need vegetable glycerin, sugars, polysorbates, sodium benzoate or other chemical ingredients if you are taking CBD to feel better or combat disease? Finally, don’t confuse Cannabidiol with cannabinoids. All cannabis plants produce cannabinoids, Cannabidiol

PLANT MEDICINE (CBD) being one of them. Many people say they want the medicinal kind of marijuana, not the kind that gets you high. All cannabis is medicinal; it is simply the levels of cannabinoids, how it is consumed and how much of it is consumed that will dictate the level of â&#x20AC;&#x153;highâ&#x20AC;? you may experience. As you begin your CBD journey, read the labels, ask the tough questions, and be aware of what is in it and how it makes you feel. Whether it's hemp or cannabis derived CBD, when you find the product in the right ratio for you, the natural relief can be extraordinary. Robbin Lynn, certified cannabis consultant, is the co-founder of RX-C, offering the highest quality selection of organically cultivated products in a professional setting.

Go on a Journey of Self-discovery with CBD Life by Erin Lehn Floresca

hen Alexandra (Alex) and Dave RoehrGittleson, owners of CBD Life in Carlsbad, hit their early thirties, they experienced an awakening. “We just didn’t feel good. Dave had been dealing with an autoimmune disorder since he was a child and was on at least six medications. I was experiencing emotional issues including anxiety and panic attacks. We both had problems with our energy levels. Sometimes just getting off the couch was a chore,” recalls Alex. “Although the aches and pains of getting older were culturally accepted, neither of us was willing to settle. To us, the natural process of aging didn’t have to mean that our bodies needed to deteriorate.” In addition to feeling physically “off”, the pair also found themselves in unfulfilling careers. “Our jobs were secure, but they just didn’t feed us on a soul level,” says Alex. “We both wanted something more meaningful and that we could be passionate about—we just didn’t know what that was.” So the couple, no longer fine with “fine”, embarked on a quest to overhaul their lifestyle. With a healthy dose of enthusiasm, they quit their jobs, got engaged, and made a pact to be vibrantly healthy by the time they walked down the aisle. “We gave ourselves a year and a half to plan the wedding so we’d have enough time to achieve our goals. We had no idea that it would eventually lead to a future business prospect.” Over the course of the next 18 months, the pair went on a journey of self-discovery. From learning what

diets worked best for their bodies, to incorporating more exercise and metaphysical tools to encourage greater emotional health, the duo began to thrive. “Dave was able to eliminate his medications and I dropped the anxiety and panic attacks,” affirms Alex. Their self-healing journey led them to realize many aspects about their selves and how they wanted to live their life. During this time, cannabis wasn’t on their radar. However, when Dave got a minor spinal injury from a car accident, his doctor wanted to prescribe pharmaceuticals. But Dave opted for more natural ways to manage the pain. “He didn’t want to go back on the meds so he asked his doctor if he could try medical cannabis,” explains Alex. “Not only did it relieve pain, we found out that cannabis had many other healing properties as well.” This discovery ultimately led them to their first entrepreneurial venture—a medical marijuana delivery service. According to Alex, becoming business partners was a life-changing experience. “Working together was amazing. We found out that we really trusted and believed in each other and that we could make an even bigger impact when we worked together,” says Alex. Medical cannabis was such an ideal complement to their new healthier lifestyle, that soon CBD Life, their holistic retail store, was born. “We wanted to expand and create an even bigger business that helped others on their own journeys of self-discovery for any physical, spiritual or emotional ailment they may have,” says Alex. CBD Life, established in 2016,

is celebrating a grand re-opening this month. The store offers all natural products and services for whole body healing and spiritual health including offering hemp-based, full-spectrum CBD products, all natural beauty and oral care products, tools for meditation, energy services, and a variety of classes and workshops. The Roehr-Gittleson’s couldn’t be more thrilled about their business endeavor. “It’s such a great honor to help people discover their balance. Knowing that we are helping to create a movement that inspires others to discover that they have the ability to heal themselves and live the life they want is so rewarding, so empowering,” shares Alex, who notes that owning CBD Life has helped her to feel empowered as well. “It’s given me great clarity. I quickly had to decide what type of business owner I wanted to be. Was I going to be a business owner that was constantly stressed out, worrying about money, the business, etc., or was I going to be a business owner that loved what she does...someone who is driven by passion, intuition, confidence, love and happiness. Of course, I chose the latter.” Alex and Dave are excited about future offerings at the store. “While all of our products will always be available a la carte, soon customers will also have the opportunity to join one of our three monthly membership tiers that include a mix of products and services. We’re also excited to be adding herbs and supplements and nutrition assistance to our offerings,” says Alex, who shares that their ultimate goal is to have multiple centers around the U.S. Alex adds that because she and Dave can often be found traveling to further their education on products and services to offer the community, it’s a good idea to call or visit their website to check store hours before visiting. “Of course, online ordering is always available,” she says.

Aside from cooking oils, we get free radical exposure being near car exhaust and factories.

Only a high-phytochemical diet can give you effective protection from radical oxidation in your body. Humans can run marathons looking for a cancer cure, yet by avoiding fried oils and eating superfoods humans reverse cancer. Our food protocol for cancer has been used by hundreds of Qigong students with success since 2005. There’s an emphasis on foods to detoxify, but the real effects come from rebuilding blood and reversing oxidation with electron-dense pigments.

Food Healing to Conquer ANY Disease by Qigong Practitioner Jeff Primack

eff Primack has taught Qigong for 20 years to over 50k people at Qi Revolution conferences. He is the author of Conquering Any Disease, a science-supported medical textbook endorsed by doctors that gives food functions and protocols to help people reverse epidemic diseases of today.

What if Clogged Arteries and Parkinson’s were caused by the same oxidative force?

FREE RADICALS in food are the real villain and lack an electron, thus robbing electrons from healthy cells causing cholesterol to crystalize and brain to form plaque. Oxidation is the death mechanism. What turns an apple brown is the same force hardening brain in dementia and Parkinson’s. Luckily, God has a plan for our healing with food as medicine.

ELIMINATING FRIED FOOD is more important than being organic. 16

San Diego Edition

Top scientists of “International HNE Club” published their latest findings that cholesterol hardens when oxidized by free radicals. French fries in America were found to possess extreme levels of free radicals, HydroxyNonEnal (HNE). In addition to causing cholesterol hardening, HNE radicals high in all fried foods, cause DNA oxidation, which leads to replication of cancer cells instead of healthy cells. 2017 science on fats makes it clear the importance of cutting out fried foods, akin to smoking cigarettes.

Butter, coconut and olive oil produce less free radicals when heated.

These oils are made of saturated and monounsaturated fats that don’t oxidize easily. Canola and soybean oils have more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are unstable oxidizing faster. In the Conquering Any Disease book, I provide evidence for returning to a high saturated fat diet and avoiding processed oils. NA-SD.com

Pigments are colorful due to having DOUBLE BONDS, which contain four electrons that can be used to “quench radicals”.

Neutralization of free radicals by electrons in food pigments is the best way to avoid disease. America is on a low pigment diet! Black sesame seeds contain Melanin, a pigment stored by the Substantia Nigra in the brain where dopamine is made. Colorful pigments in hair signal fertility and many foods are proven by science to regrow hair, such as red onions and red apples.

Carotenoids have the BRIGHTEST COLOR of all pigments and no other molecule is more healing.

Eye health, vision and fertility are restored by eating them and they protect against sunburns. Egg yolks have 1 milligramof lutein per yolk to give it that vivid yellow. Spinach has 10 times more lutein than egg yolks by weight; however recent science shows the egg was far more bioavailable. This is because carotenoids are fat soluble and made more bioavailable in the presence of oil. Cooked carrots are shown to have greater blood plasma absorption of betacarotene than raw in humans. I suggest both raw and cooked to obtain maximum benefits.

RED carotenoids neutralize free radicals two times faster than Orange and four times faster than Yellow!

There is a hierarchy and RED is best. Lutein (yellow pigment) has 10 double bonds in its chromophore. Betacarotene (orange) has 11 double bonds and Lycopene (pink) has 13 double bonds. Does it surprise that pink with 13 double bonds is a more effective electron donor than orange with 11? RED FOODS are the most profound evolution to the human diet. When Italy began making tomato paste it, spawned great thinkers and strong men. Only peppers (cousin of tomato) evolved the deep red carotenoid called, CAPSANTHIN. I think pepper’s carotenoids being the reddest are the most healing.

Since learning the importance of RED carotenoids, I’ve made Pepper Paste hundreds of times! I have a pepper problem…

We give fresh “Primack Pepper Paste” samples to every person who attends Qi Revolution. Unfortunately, people can’t buy it yet, but we show everyone how to make it. Tomato paste, sauce and ketchup are next best sources. Claudia Gabrielle MD, Ivy League educated doctor, says she learned more on Food-Healing at the Qi Revolution than in medical school! We invite you, the seekers of truth, to be educated and learn Food as Medicine.

LIVE CANCER-FREE Natural Ways to Keep or Regain Your Health by Linda Sechrist

ictorious warriors against cancer are speaking to other patients about their journeys of recovery and healing. Two who regularly speak to physicians, as well, are Glenn Sabin, author of n of 1: One Man’s Harvarddocumented Remission of Incurable Cancer Using Only Natural Methods, and Kathy Mydlach-Bero, author of EAT: An Unconventional Decade in the Life of a Cancer Patient. Their stories demonstrate the healing effectiveness of healthy lifestyle measures still widely categorized as prevention.

Whole Life Triumphs

Determined to become free of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia that had defined his life for 20 years, Sabin, who lives near Washington, D.C., appointed himself the subject of his own research experiment. He subsequently became a poster child for the remedial synergy of biological individuality, a whole systems approach to integrative oncology and self-induced healing through lifestyle and supplement interventions. 18

San Diego Edition

Sabin now dedicates his business development firm, FON Consulting, to advancing integrative medicine as the new standard of care. His mission is to open minds to the idea that knowledge, empowerment and self-efficacy are our best allies against a life-limiting diagnosis, and we can do much to help the healing process. Writing to Joe Biden regarding the vice president’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, he candidly describes America’s present cancer-friendly environment. “The public has become conditioned to existing in a broken food chain that remains in disrepair due to misguided farming subsidies [and] untested or otherwise questionable chemicals (many of which are banned in other countries) that are present in the water we drink, the air we breathe, food we consume and products we use. Current therapies or those in the drug pipeline won’t improve the 50/50 odds of developing cancer. What will have the greatest impact are consumer education toward powerful lifestyle changes and access NA-SD.com

to the building blocks of basic health.” Mydlach-Bero made her remarkable recovery from rare and unrelated aggressive Stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer and a high-grade tumor in her head and neck. To tell her story, the resident of Delafield, Wisconsin, relied on her 18 journals as a surrogate memory to chronicle a 10-year journey of courageous exploration, self-evolution, self-advocacy and self-transformation that connected her with her healing potential. Then the mother of two young daughters, Mydlach-Bero rejected a 21-month prognosis in 2005, along with the notion that disease and medicine would determine her fate. Defying the odds, she applied what she learned from research regarding Avastin, a pharmaceutical created to combat harmful growth of new blood cells, and the benefits of growing and eating foods containing angiogenesisinhibiting compounds that oppose such growth and so work to prevent, improve and avert recurrences of chronic disease. “Cancer hijacks the angiogenesis process triggered by inflammation and keeps it permanently activated to ensure that cancerous cells receive a dedicated, uninterrupted blood supply,” explains Mydlach-Bero. For three years, she largely consumed only items from the list of angiogenesis-inhibiting foods now posted at KathyMydlachBero.com/food-research. These include green tea, strawberries, blackberries, red tart cherries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, grapefruit, lemons, tomatoes, cinnamon, purple potatoes, kale, grape seed oil and pomegranate. In 2008, she completely replaced both the drugs to combat the side effects of chemo and radiation and a long-term medication for preventing recurrence with healthful foods. Her physicians were admittedly uncomfortable with her decision to combine chemotherapy and radiation treatments with “food as medicine”, reiki, prayer, meditation, mindfulness and supplement intervention. But that didn’t deter her. To awaken others to the practicality of food as medicine, she founded NuGenesis Farm, in Pewaukee, a nonprofit modeled after her home practice.

Prevention is Paramount

Pioneering physicians and researchers agree with Sabin and Myldach-Bero that comprehensive prevention, the key to solving the cancer epidemic, is missing from conventional medicine. Leading voices include Dr. Andrew Weil, founder and director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the College of Medicine, University of Arizona (AzCIM), in Tucson; Dr. Carlos M. Garcia, founder of Utopia Wellness, near Tampa, Florida; advocate Susan Silberstein, Ph.D., founder of BeatCancer.org, in Richboro, Pennsylvania; and Ajay Goel, Ph.D., director of the Center for Epigenetics, Cancer Prevention and Cancer Genomics at Baylor University Medical Center’s Research Institute, in Dallas. Weil pioneered the earliest efforts to develop a comprehensive curriculum in evidence-based integrative medicine and the field of integrative oncology. “We’ve known for nearly 15 years that inflammation is the root cause of many chronic diseases. Since 2012 scientific evidence has proven that a healthy lifestyle and an anti-inflammatory diet can influence various cancers,” says Weil. His curriculum for health professionals and the general public was the first to cite the role of a nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet in cancer prevention and treatment. “Health professionals graduate armed with a better understanding of the complex interactions between cancer, gut microbiome and nutrition,” advises Weil, whose paradigm inspires his chain of True Food Kitchen restaurants. It includes lots of fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of whole or cracked grains, al dente pasta, healthy fats and plant-based proteins from legumes, nuts and seafood as well as poultry and lean, antibioticfree grass-fed meats, cheese and eggs. Plus, he likes white, green and oolong teas, fresh herbs and spices, up to two glasses of red wine a day (less for women; possibly none for those at high-risk for breast cancer), and dark chocolate for antioxidant polyphenols.

integrative oncologist, is mandatory reading for AzCIM students that learn to use complementary interventions in prevention and conventional cancer care. Subjects such as antioxidants, cannabinoids, energy medicine, mindbody medicine, music and expressive art therapies are covered, as well as naturopathic oncology, plus the roles that community and spirituality play in prevention and treatment. Goel’s 20-year career in cancer prevention research has produced a wealth of related articles. Among his findings, he advises, “Curcumin, a yellow compound extracted from turmeric, has become a gold standard for prevention and the natural treatment of many chronic health conditions, including colon cancer. It targets cancer stem cells, disrupts cancer cell communication, triggers cancer cell death and helps to prevent cancerous mutations to cells. It’s also been shown to improve the efficacy of conventional treatments including fewer adverse effects.” He recommends only taking turmeric products with BCM-95 percent active curcuminoids.

Customized Protocols

Considering each individual’s biological individuality as a Petri dish, Garcia’s studies help achieve an anti-cancer life. He advises, “There is no ‘one size fits all’ medical protocol box for cancer treatment. Customized modifications to lifestyle and diet are required because food nutrients directly impact the mechanisms by which cancer cells grow and spread. The right nutrition can reverse a compromised immune system, which research shows is a major contributor to the development of cancer.” Whether for improvement or prevention, Garcia’s patient protocols always begin with a comprehensive evaluation appointment to learn about the individual he is treating. For cancer patients, his two-phase, eight-week program involves immune-enhancing therapies followed by immunotherapy aimed to de-cloak the camouflaged protein coating of wily cancer cells so the body’s immune system can identify and destroy them.

Mind/Body Detox

To maintain good health, Judy Seeger, a doctor of naturopathy near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, recommends a regular detoxification regimen to cleanse environmental and product toxins and toxic emotions. Through experience, she has learned that individuals living with cancer need to substantially support their abnormally functioning elimination system to rid it of dead proteins from destroyed cancer cells and chemotherapy drugs that are overtaxing the immune system. “Clearing out toxic, stressful emotions that produce acid, weaken the immune system and create an environment for cancer to propagate is essential,” says Seeger. “Fulfilling the body’s requirement for an ongoing healthy nutritional plan that maintains a healing alkaline environment reduces both the risk of a cancer as well as recurrence.” She has observed that when an individual’s healing process has stalled despite their doing all the right things to improve their biochemistry, it’s frequently because they haven’t done an emotional detox and lack feeling a spiritual connection to something larger than themselves. Silberstein categorizes cancer as epidemic. She speaks regularly regarding preventing cancer and its recurrence at medical and nursing schools, continuing oncology nursing education programs and universities. “What is needed more than new treatment research is public education regarding the true causes of cancer and continuing education credits in lifestyle training for medical professionals,” she says. Silberstein’s nonprofit organization provides online holistic cancer coach training for health professionals as well as research-based education and counseling on how to prevent, cope with and beat cancer through immune-boosting holistic approaches. The list of books authored by cancer survivors continues to grow, offering helpful insight into how individuals are negotiating the challenges of their healing journey. Two recent books, Surviving the Storm: A Workbook for Telling Your Cancer Story,

IMMUNOTHERAPY A New Approach to Reversing Cancer submitted by Rubio Cancer Center

by Psychotherapist Cheryl Krauter, and Cancer Survivorship Coping Tools: We’ll Get You Through This, by Barbara Tako, are particularly helpful regarding the onslaught of toxic feelings and emotions that stress the mind and body—fear, anger, isolation, anxiety, depression and uncertainty, as well as loss and grief. Emphasizing the need for individuals diagnosed with cancer to tell their stories, the authors encourage keeping a journal. The act of getting thoughts and experiences out of the mind and onto paper supports emotional cleansing. “It’s important to share the real story of the emotional storm that is cancer, as well as the ravages of its treatments and invisible, but lingering side effects; to tell the tale of the cancer survivor who is moving from patient to person; and to explore and discover who you are after having faced down your mortality,” Krauter counsels.

Changed Paradigm

Results of the Human Genome Project, as well as the work of Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., stem cell biologist and author of The Biology of Belief, and other epigenetic researchers support the point that “environmental signals” that directly affect our DNA expression include our thoughts, emotions, belief system, exposure to sunlight, exercise and everything we put into our body. Such new science shatters the idea that we are victims of our genes and environment. It shines light on the fact that we have tremendous power to shape and direct our own physical health. Our entire lifestyle is pivotal. Linda Sechrist is a senior staff writer for Natural Awakenings. Connect at ItsAllAboutWe.com.

ow do you respond when life throws you a crisis like cancer; are you poised and prepared or do you feel like you just woke up in your worst nightmare? There is so much fear swirling around a cancer diagnosis when patients need to make informed decisions deciding what medical expert to work with as their treatment begins. With the advent of technology and so many advances in medicine, it is clear that cancer treatments have advanced, too. Immunotherapy is an important new approach to cancer because it is saving lives. Immunotherapy is the Star Wars approach to cancer treatment, using the T cells and natural killer cells of the immune system and ‘Awaking the Force Within’—aka, the patient’s own immune system. These targeted therapies are gaining widespread approval in the United States as research hospitals are adding them to their offerings. For over 30 years Rubio Cancer Center in La Mesa, Mexico, has been creating and administering customized cancer vaccines to ‘wake up’ the immune system and destroy cancer. Significant preparations are given to help the vaccines work including enzyme IVs that weaken the protective protein and detoxification protocols to strengthen the efficacy as well. The center’s Medical and Research Director, Geronimo Rubio, MD, has a unique approach which also includes low dose chemotherapy and radiation, to expedite each patient’s healing. His hospital is certified by the Mexican government to create both cancer vaccines and adult stem cells.

Dr. Rubio’s first patient was Dan, a young man in his late twenties with a glioblastoma brain tumor who was given a couple months to live. Dr. Rubio successfully healed him and Dan went on to father and raise two more children after the treatment was completed. These customized cancer vaccines can reverse advanced stage cancers anywhere in the body, as long as the immune system ignites properly. As a patient advocate at Rubio Cancer Center, Carolyn Gross has had the opportunity to witness many of these healings after she was healed in 2003 from stage 3 breast cancer. With a family history of breast cancer, she chose to keep her breast and work exclusively with Dr. Rubio’s approach. Gross successfully healed 14 years ago and wrote two books: Treatable and Beatable: Healing Cancer Without Surgery and she co-authored with Dr. Rubio Breaking the Cancer Code published in 2015. Breaking the Cancer Code provides detailed information on cancer vaccines to equip patients with the tools to reverse cancer with Immunotherapy. Since 1985, Geronimo Rubio, MD, has been specializing in Immunotherapy and Adult Stem Cells. His hospital is certified by the government of Mexico to create and administer customized cancer vaccines.
