Cancer Diagnosis
Turned Nancy more Holistic, not Ballistic: Information for Episode 34 JesusRx
Prescription for Life Podcast.
I interviewed a friend, named Nancy, for episode 34 on the JesusRx Prescription for Life Podcast. You can listen to the interview. She wanted to share her story in hopes it would help at least one person!
You will hear her say, “I had to fight” to get what I wanted. Oncologists disagreed with me. She also admits she never blamed God for her cancer. She takes full responsibility for not taking care of her body and giving it what it needed to stay healthy. You can look at studies and see the significant impact stress has on illness. She recalls a very traumatic time in her life that she says no doubt contributed to cancer. Stress is a cancer….it spreads and grows into cancer if not managed.
Nancy also says she has heard others say, and it sounds strange, that their cancer was a blessing. She understands that now and even says that very same thing as she is now healthier than before the cancer diagnosis. She says she is a cancer THRIVER, not just a survivor.
Nancy goes over many books on the podcast that may help you or a loved one if diagnosed with cancer. She can’t say enough good things about the organization BELIEVE BIG. You can get more information on them at www.BelieveBig.org
I will put their vision and mission here and how it came to be:
Believe Bigs Vision is to see cancer patients and their families discover their pathway to healing and their mission is to help families face, fight, and overcome cancer. It is a non-profit Christian organization founded by Ivelisse and Jimmy Page after her battle with Stage IV colon cancer. It was established in 2011. Believe Big helps cancer patients move through the overwhelming process of treatment by bridging the gap between conventional and complementary medicine to heal in all aspects of life. Not just physical, but emotionally and spiritually as well.
Nancy talks about a few friends she tried to help battle cancer, adding the holistic approach, and they couldn’t think outside of the traditional medical community, and, well, listen to the podcast to see what happened. I had to remind her not to push, but it’s hard when you see friends and loved ones suffering through chemo and radiation when you know other ways that could help. How much can it hurt when they are already suffering so badly? We talked about the quality of life and how awful it is to be so sick from treatments in your last year of life. Nancy’s words, “you die of the treatments, and die with cancer”.
The bottom line is we are all unique due to our lifestyles, and what works for one person may not be suitable for another. Nancy knows this and stresses Do what you know in your heart to do… after consulting THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. “He will lead you to what you need,” she said.
She said she has two insurances, but most of her holistic approach was not covered by those insurances. Again, listen to the podcast to see about costs and how she stressed, God knows what is “needed” and provides if he is leading you a certain way.
I’ve put pictures up so you will have the information on the books Nancy went over.
Nancy also mentioned the D’ADAMO INSTITUTE for the advancement of Natural Therapies, founded by Dr. James L. D’Adamo. For more information, see www.Dadamoinstitute.com
I’m very excited to interview Nancy’s son, John Moro, who is a practicing pharmacist. He has a PharmD degree and an MBA. He is the president and owner of The Herbal Path, A Natural Pharmacy in Dover and Portsmouth, NH. You will be able to find that interview on the podcast soon.
It’s exciting when you can take your health back. It’s even better if you have doctors who will listen to you when wanting to go more holistic and work with you and your naturopath or functional medicine doctors.
No matter your diagnosis, know God is in control. Ask for the Great Physician to lead you, and continue to Dream Big, and as Dream Big says, Face It. Fight It. Overcome It.
