The motivation for me to set up this site came from a recent life experience which caused me to spend months researching natural therapies, as well as, organic eating habits.
My husband of 28 years had been diagnosed with a recurrence of Colon Cancer ( he had it exactly 5 years prior, had resection surgery to remove the tumor and did every single follow up check or test that his Oncologist recommended…yet it returned…this time with a vengeance.) When the cancer was discovered the second time it had already metastasized to his lungs, liver and bones. The Oncologist’s words to us were that there was no cure and he could only try to prolong my husband’s life. I decided that I didn’t like that verdict so went on a mission to try to find natural therapies that might be able to cure him if the disease had not already progressed too far along. He went through 14 months of extreme pain, did chemotherapy and radiation yet sadly lost the battle on September 11,2007. What my family and friends have told me is that they feel that, despite the fact that I was not able, with the natural therapies that I gave him, to save his life, they are convinced that he had a better quality of life in his last months than he would have had without the natural treatments. At the very least, he lived with a lot more hope than the Oncologist was giving him.
During his illness, however, I was his caregiver so basically put my career on hold and looked after his every need. He was a fantastic patient and I am so happy that I was able to be there for him at all times. When he was temporarily out of pain and sleeping, I used the time to do research on alternative therapies in an effort to help his body heal itself and protect itself from the attacks of the chemotherapy and radiation, and, of course, the cancer itself.
My hope is that I can share what I’ve learnt from that research with you all and perhaps you can also share any knowledge you may have. I will continuously look for natural alternatives to benefit my health and well-being and will share what I find here on my blog.
It is my firm belief that nature provides us with everything we need to maintain good health as well as to heal ourselves once the balance of health is shaken within our systems and we become ill.
I hope you get a lot out of this site and visit with me often.
Sincerely,
Chris
