My heart is so full 💗

 

Hi! It’s been a while. Too long actually.  I didn’t really mean to take this much time between blog posts but I got busy.  That’s definitely not a very good excuse but I’m hoping that I can jump back in and find my groove again 🤪! 


I have a few updates to share so hopefully I can do it in a way that makes sense to y’all.  Please bear with me through this blog post.  


It’s been 121 days since I started on the Square 1 (www.chrisbeatcancer.com) holistic healing program that includes a 100% raw Whole Food Plant Based diet, including 40 to 64 ounces of fresh juice that I make/drink each day.  It was a radical lifestyle change, but honestly it’s one I wish I would’ve made sooner…..I feel fantastic!!!  The changes were definitely radical and difficult the first few days.  I went from being a sugar and candy 🍬 eating, Diet Coke and coffee ☕️ drinking, meat 🥩 eating addict, 😂 to only eating raw organic fruits and vegetables 🥕🍎🥦🥬!  For the first 90 days I literally drank 40 to 64 ounces of vegetable juice daily (I juice 6 pounds of carrots a day) and ate two giant salads daily….that’s it.  There is a lot of evidence out there that shows and proves that flooding your body with nutrient dense foods can, and will heal the body….so that’s what I did.  


The first part of the square one program was 90 days, 100% raw organic fruits and vegetables only .  What happens after 90 days?  For me nothing changed. I continued on with the raw organic fruits and vegetables and juice every single day. Now, post 90 days, I have allowed myself a few meals, maybe 4 total, to have something warm.  Something like oatmeal with blueberries or one day I wasn’t feeling well and I made a nice  vegetable soup, using  all organic fresh vegetables. It was a great treat and I loved it. It was so delicious!  But,  then I went right back to my salads and right back to my juice.


I’m here to testify that this is working….this program is working!  I believe that Jesus healed my body from cancer, (that’s an entirely different blog post) and I think this eating program is getting my body healthy so that I will never get sick again! 


Yesterday on January 29, 2024 we went to an appointment with my oncologist.  On October 10th when I told him that I was going to stop chemotherapy and I was going to beat this cancer holistically he didn’t necessarily agree with my decision but he was supportive of it.  So, to say that he was shocked with my blood test results that I had done on Friday, January 26, 2024 was an understatement.  He was shocked, he couldn’t believe it!!  All of my cancer markers were perfect as was the rest of my blood test!  I mean it was all Perfect!  And when he did the physical exam and was feeling around and pushing at my lymph nodes, he was shocked, and actually said “I can’t believe this”.  He couldn’t believe that he didn’t find even one swollen lymph node.  Our next move is to do a CT scan which I have scheduled for February 26th and then I see my oncologist again on April 1st.  


To say that Keith and I left that appointment ecstatic would be an understatement…..we are thrilled!!  My heart ❤️ is so full!  We definitely give all of our glory and praise to God, our Jehovah Rapha!!  Without Him I don’t think I would have had the courage and strength to do any of this!  The timing of when He came back into our lives was definitely not a coincidence.  


Our lives have changed so drastically since July 2023…for the better.  I’m definitely not the same person I was before my cancer diagnosis, I’ve completely changed….body, soul and spirit!  You’ve probably never heard someone say that getting cancer was a blessing but it was.  Sure it was scary, terrifying actually but it showed me the way back to Jesus and showed me the kind of life I wanted to live vs the life I had been living.  I want to be a blessing to others, I want to help others, I want to show them how merciful God is and how great He is.  I want anyone who is newly diagnosed with cancer or any disease or illness to know you’re not in this alone.  Turn to God and He will guide you and will put the right people in your life, just like He did for me ✝️🙏🏼


With that, I’m excited to say that I’ll be holding the first Las Vegas 🍏Healing Strong🍏https://healingstrong.orgsupport group gathering (see previous blog post for details) on the second Sunday in March and then we will continue to meet monthly on the second Sunday of each month.  I’m super excited about this organization and I’m excited to be part of it.  It has helped so many people over the past 10 years and I know there are many more who will be led to the newest group in Las Vegas!  


That’s all for now, thanks for reading. 


I’ll close this post with a verse that God placed on my heart while I was typing this. 


Isaiah 12:2 KJV

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.”


Until next time….keep joy in your mind and in your heart!


Much love and many blessings,

Ali

Ain’t Life Grand….living life on the right side of cancer 💕

Greetings from beautiful Wyoming! Hidden Falls - Jenny Lake / Grand Teton National Park  A quick update before I get into it - I moved all my blogs to a new platform and it’s so much better now (at least for me).  Please let me know your thoughts, I appreciate your feedback 🩷.  Ok, here we go!!  Some of you may be following along on our journey via facebook but for those of you who aren’t, here’s a quick update.   We kicked off our nomadic journey on March 11, 2025 (after living full-time in the RV since September 2024) and this has quite literally been the best thing we have ever done.    Keith and I keep asking each other why we didn’t do this sooner.    It all comes back to - it just wasn’t our time yet.    But here we are now and we are absolutely living our best life!  Workamping is a real thing - real companies do in fact hire people who live full-time in their RV for seasonal work.    We landed an awesome job ...

One year ago today I started the life saving journey that I never imagined I would be going on.  I made what some might consider crazy radical changes, but I did it because I wanted to live.  Now here we are, one year later, making more radical life changes.  Sometimes life brings in twists and turns that take us in a completely different direction.  It happened to Keith and I last year (with my cancer diagnosis) and it’s happening again with our latest adventures.  If you haven’t heard yet, we sold our house and basically everything in it.  We bought a new truck and a RV and we’re hitting the road, living full time in the RV.  We went from a 1600 sq ft house to a 32 ft travel trailer…talk about radical changes 😳🤣 2024 Grand Design Imagine - Our new home! Here are a few things I’ve learned so far over the past year and especially these past few months.  We don’t always see these twists and turns coming but they always cause us to leave behind on...

Merry Christmas!

Luke 2:11 (NKJV) For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord I have so much to be thankful for this year.  I give all of my love and glory to Jesus every day but especially today, on His birthday!  He poured His blessings over me this year, He was true and faithful and never abandoned me.  I was shown first hand that all of God’s promises truly are “Yes” and “Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20) At the start of this year I was just finishing up the first 90 days of my holistic healing program.  I was determined to beat the cancer and I had it set in my heart to do it holistically.  With God’s strength and His grace I was motivated and determined to stay on course.  I was thankful to be over that first 90 day hurdle but I was still facing so much uncertainty. I kept myself centered and focused on the goal….I kept my mind on Christ and He showed me the way!  Every decision or change I made was done so with prayer and wit...
