My Mum died of cancer this year and in the hospital half the food they served was full of sugar. I hate our public health system.
-
I had stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2020. I am in remission and I am sticking with Keto and Intermittent fasting for the rest of my life.
-
Why is YouTube better for my health than every doctor I’ve ever seen?
-
Words cant express my gratitude for igrotum. Its providing relief and healing during a challenging time.
-
I was diagnosed with cancer but none of my doctors had ever said to me not to eat sugar. Wtf!?
-
I had brain cancer this past year (Sep 2020) and went on the Keto diet, which doesn't allow for any sugar or carbs in my diet. It's been difficult but I'm used to it now and things have gone great.
-
It's a shame that all this research has been done over the years but yet cancer is still so prevalent and deadly. I tend to think the medical establishment doesn't want to cure it because treating it is so much more profitable.
-
I lost my grandson as well 2020, and my daughter and I couldn’t believe the amount of sugar that was in his diet while he was hospitalized!
-
I am a nurse. I have had 3 patients who happened to have cancer and their cancer was stage 4 and all went to other countries to do a special fasting with a doctor at a clinic that does this treatment to treat cancer. They all were cured. I was in aw. I saw 2 of them that was before and after going and went to Mexico. The other patient who had gone to Europe years ago. Fasting can treat cancer even stage 4 cancer!!!!

I was a sugarholic - diagnosed w/colon cancer/ tumor. I was cured thru operation - no more sugar in my diet. Not one doctor warned me about sugar.
-
Fast food restaurants on every corner, nonstop pharmaceutical commercials on TV, sugar in every thing bottled and packaged 🤔hmmm
-
One of the most clear, articulate, positive, powerful speakers I've seen!!
-
I love how you were positive as you went about the diagnosis. I am a 10-year survivor of CLL. I was diagnosed in 2012. Today I remain positive like you and I claim my healing. I would like to use my story to encourage others. You are doing a great job.

This comment section is golden , salute to you guys stay safe everybody 😊

My friend had stage 3 colon cancer. After much much prayer, surgery to remove the tumor, and a complete diet change (she removed all refined sugars) she is now cancer free 10yrs. She didn’t do chemo. Chemo causes cancer. Look up the side effects.
-
My friend's wife was told she had three months to live and the doctors said it was a waste to do chemo. So my friend went to Tijuana and picked up some laetrile for her. She changed her diet. Ten years later, she was alive and well.
-
I stopped ALL sugar intake 5 weeks ago........I CANNOT UNDERSTATE what my body feels like.......SUGAR IS FOR SURVIVAL IN LIFE THREATENING PERIODS ONLY. Excellent speech.
-
So proud speaker and what she is doing for humanity. Best wishes.

I told my Dr. that I stopped feeding my sugar, Sugar. Ske was wondering how my bad blood work corrected itself in 3 months, now that was just for Pre-diabetes. I’m on the right track I think. I’m a Vietnam veteran and 74 with no cancer ‘yet’ maybe fasting is cleaning the junk out of by systems and not putting any sugar in ,is helping.
