My Journey So Far.......



If you’re reading this then someone has shared a bit about my cancer journey with you.  I love sharing this with anyone who is open minded to other ways of healing our bodies.  Society is so indoctrinated to conventional western medicine and often so afraid to look outside of that box.  I do believe there is a place for it but it doesn’t have to be the only way or even the first choice. 


Here is a breakdown of my cancer diagnosis, the program I followed and the tests I’ve had done. 


Surgery: 7/14/2023

Robot Assisted Sigmoid Colectomy

-7 inches of my colon was removed along with a tumor the size of a peach

-34 lymph nodes taken

-No ileostomy or colostomy bag


Diagnosis: 7/27/2023

Adenocarcinoma - Stage 3B Colon Cancer

-1 lymph node came back positive


Oncology treatment plan: 8/3/2023

FOLFOX 6 (fluorouracil (5FU) + leucovorin + oxaliplatin)

-12 treatments (every 2 weeks) -Each treatment would take approximately 3 hours and I would come home with a pump for 46 hours that was administered through my port catheter.

I went through 2 rounds of chemo before I decided it wasn’t the healing path I wanted to be on, first was 8/21/2023 second was 9/11/2023.


9/15/2023 my Keith found the holistic program that I follow called “Chris Beat Cancer” www.chrisbeatcancer.com which consists of:

-Whole Food Plant Based diet

-64 ounces of fresh juice a day (6 pounds of carrots

-Supplements

-Exercise

-Rest


9/22/2023 we told my oncologist that I didn’t want to do chemo anymore.  He agreed to stay with me and order blood work/scans


10/1/2023 I started the holistic plan, this is what it consists of:

-100% Whole Food/Plant Based foods (all organic)

-first 90 days was 100% RAW.

-I drank a  “morning green light” drink each morning

-64oz of juice (I bought a high-quality cold press juicer, the Nama J2) that I make each morning and drink throughout the day

-2 BIG salads. 

My morning green light drink recipe:

-20oz of Jason Winters tea

-1/2 of a lemon squeezed

-1TBSP ACV

-Moringa Powder

-Alma Powder

-Cranberry Powder

-Spirulina Powder

-D-mannose Powder

These are all organic cancer fighting power houses


64oz of juice recipe (all organic):

-6 pounds of carrots

-2-3 whole beets

-5 granny smith apples

-2 lemons

-5-6 ribs of celery. 

-1-2 knuckles of turmeric

-1-2 knuckles of ginger

-1-2 cloves of garlic. 

-4-6 ounces of Aloe Vera Juice

I also added the supplements in the morning green light drink to my juice.

There are other recipes I rotated in after my 90 days


Why so many carrots?  Here is a great explanation! https://adventureswithjodi.com/is-there-anything-a-carrot-cant-do/


My 2 BIG salads a day consist of:

-Greens blend

-organic cruciferous veggie

- more veggies and fruit (whatever I had on hand)

-1-2 tablespoons of organic sauerkraut (an awesome probiotic)

-raw/organic sunflower seeds

-A blend of cancer fighting spices such as rosemary, oregano, tarragon, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if I want to add some spice), garlic powder, onion powder, really any organic seasoning that I like.

As long as it was from a plant and raw I ate it!

Daily Supplements:

-Beta Glucan 500mg - 2 capsules 1x a day(in the morning)

-Curcumin Extra Strength - 1 1000mg capsule 2x a day (1 morning/1bedtime)

-IP6 Gold - 12-16 capsules throughout the day

-Black Seed Oil - 1 tsp 3x a day

-Vitamin D + K2 - 20,000 iu in the morning

-Quercetin- 500mg 2 capsule 3x a day

-Apricot Kernels - 20-30 kernels a day.


Lastly I started doing coffee enemas around the same time I started the Chris Beat Cancer program.  There is another holistic healing method called the Gerson Therapy, created by Dr. Max Gerson.  People who follow this therapy do 5 coffee enemas per day. I don’t have that kind of time but I strive to do 2 per day.  There is a lot of evidence out there that back up the liver detox benefits of coffee enemas especially for cancer patients.  I attribute a lot of my healing success to this step of daily protocol.  There is a reason it was in the Merck Manual once upon a time then removed in 1972.


Since starting this program I’ve done the following:

-Bloodwork - 9 times/all clear results

-Colonoscopy 4/29/2024

all clear (no polyps, no biopsy, no recurrence). GI doctor recommends follow up in 2 years.

- CT scan with and without contrast 5/6/2024

No evidence of metastasis

-Chest

-Abdomen

-Pelvis

Oncologist recommends another scan in 6 months.


On 5/20/2024 my oncologist moved me from active cancer status to remission.


I’m happy to share with you any of my test results if you are interested in reviewing them.  Please email me @aliluvslife@gmail.com


Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more details.


I absolutely know that all of this was possible because of God!  He is my Jehovah Rapha…my healer. I praise His name continuously ✝️🙏🏼. Here is my post with more details about my walk with Christ.

I’d like to close this post out with a Bible verse that God put on my heart early in my journey and walk with Him.  I’ve meditated on these verses every day since. 


Proverbs 3:5-8(NKJV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones

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 ...

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...

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...
