The Light Within - Ali’s Healing Story

When I first was diagnosed with cancer, I remember saying “This is not my story - cancer is not going to change me!”  That’s a pretty strong position of defiance towards a disease that just rocked my world.  I quickly realized it was the wrong position to take. Refusing to change, was refusing to take responsibility for the situation I had landed myself in. That’s a dangerous and somewhat powerless mindset to have. I’m here to tell you, like it or not, that cancer Will change you…..embrace it, accept it, let it change you for the better.  Let cancer (or any illness/disease) be the wake up call to change your whole life - to surrender to and get right with God, to slow down, to simplify, to reprioritize, to let go of things that don’t serve you, to break bad habits, to face down and conquer your fears, to take care of yourself like you never have before, to love and forgive the people who’ve hurt you, to be thankful for every day you are alive and to become the very best...

This is going to be a doozy of a post so please bear with me.  I know a lot of you will think I’m nuts but that’s ok….I’ve been called worse 😝.  Healing holistically requires stepping out of the boundary of our comfort zone and doing things we might not ever image doing or even knew existed.   When I first found the Chris Beat Cancer: Heal With Nutrition & Natural Therapies protocol it prompted me to research other people who have healed themselves with similar treatments.  My research lead me to Dr. Max Gerson and the Gerson Therapy.  Dr. Gerson was a German born American physician who believed that disease was caused by built up toxins in the body.  He believed that eating a vegetarian diet along with fresh juices was key in treating and curing diseases….(sound familiar)?  In 1928 Gerson started using this method to treat his patients successfully.  After his passing, Dr. Gerson’s family wanted to carry on his great work and started th...

As part of my healing journey I’ve learned that we are what we eat, but also what we wear.   Since our skin is our largest organ, it makes sense that anything we put on our body that is filled with harmful toxic chemicals would be absorbed deep down inside of us and contributes to sickness and disease.   When I first started my Chris Beat Cancer: Heal With Nutrition & Natural Therapies journey I learned about a group called the Environmental Working Group (EWG).  This group tests thousands and thousands of household products, body care products and food for toxic unhealthy chemicals. You can learn more about this group, their mission, and even look up products that you currently use to see how they rate!  Their website is   https://www.ewg.org So my life saving transformation has not only been my diet but also products that I use in our house and on our body. Some changes that we’ve made so far, include shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste and ...

I have always been a Christian and a firm believer in God, but today I am a born again Christian and I know with absolute certainty that all of His promises are “Yes and Amen”, including healing! Here’s a little background on my Christian upbringing.  I was born and raised a Christian.  From a young age my family and I went to Sunday school and church every Sunday.  I participated in the church’s youth group, I went to vacation bible school in the summer and I was confirmed and baptized.  As I aged I still felt like I was searching for something but I had no idea what I was missing.  I thought what I was doing was the only way, the right way but there was always an empty place in my heart.  Eventually, in the mid 90’s, I walked away from church but not God, never did I lose faith in Him.  Over the past few decades I remained a believer in God and always leaned on my faith.  My faith has never wavered even during the tragedy of losing my nephew in ...
