I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in July 2020. For two years before the diagnosis, I had been feeling progressively bad. As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I was trying to treat myself—I thought I had IBS, Crohn’s disease, gluten sensitivity, etc. I didn’t like going to Western medical doctors and I didn’t have health insurance, which delayed diagnosis.

By the time I was finally diagnosed, I felt like I was dying. I stopped drinking alcohol at that point because I knew it was contributing to the cancer, and it just felt like I was drinking poison at that point. (I had been drinking five or more drinks a day.)

I started taking anti-oxidants including green tea extract, and many other supplements, as well as doing green tea enemas. I also didn’t get the jab, though I was strongly encouraged to do so. However, my efforts were too little, too late—so I proceeded with chemo, then radiation, and in March 2022 I had surgery to remove any remaining cancer. This resulted in having a colostomy and urostomy.

I got my last CT scan in September 2023—and I am cancer-free!!!

I currently take vitamins C and D, NAC, zinc with copper, and quercitin daily. I also take ivermectin occasionally. I do periodic fasting, including three-day fasts two to three times a year, eat 90 percent organic food, and have cut down on sugar as I had huge sugar cravings when I quit drinking.

I attribute my success to many different factors. Quitting alcohol was a major factor. Other contributions to my recovery were the supplements I started taking. These included resveratrol, NAC, quercetin, bio-curcumin, vitamin D, green tea, magnesium, and a mushroom combo including turkey tail, chaga, and reishi. Also, the daily green tea extract enemas and hyperbaric oxygen therapy about once per week.

I believe now that if I had stuck to this routine and included ivermectin, completely quit sugar, had intravenous vitamin C, and did some fasting, I could have healed myself. This would’ve taken a lot of willpower and support from family and friends.

Another aspect of my healing was the financial and psychological support I received from a few friends!

The third aspect of my success was the chemo, radiation, and surgery I had. This absolutely put me over the top and the cancer had no chance. I felt bad and weak through chemo, but it was tolerable. I had the luxury of staying home, not worrying about money, and watching movies. I also think my healthier lifestyle allowed me to be more resilient and not be as susceptible to the side effects of chemo. Radiation hardly affected me at all! I wonder if I really needed the surgery, but the “experts” in the field were all telling me that this was a great opportunity to finally rid myself of the cancer.

The bottom line is that I feel great now, have a lot of energy, and sleep well. I exercise three to four times a week as I work on a new homestead. I eat locally grown meats and vegetables, and almost everything is organic—soon we’ll be eating our own home-grown foods. I have no cravings for alcohol, but I do enjoy drinking non-alcoholic beer.

I’m interested in getting my biomarkers checked including cholesterol levels—I’ve never had those checked. I take no other medications. I’m an acupuncturist and herbalist and make pain relief creams from my own Chinese herbal formulas.
