The Body Can Heal Itself
In November of 2008, I had surgery to remove 60% of my liver and cancer there. Afterwards, I went for a quarterly cat scan and blood work to see if the cancer returned and it didn’t for one year. But, in November of 2010, a check up showed that there were three cancerous growths on my pancreas. The doctor stated that they were not operable and that most people with this kind of cancer only had six to twelve months to live. He also did not recommend chemo therapy since the chances for curing the disease were slim.
Without options and at the coaching of my family, I decided to try a nutritional based, immuno-therapy program recommended by a Shaklee rep. It consisted of juicing fruits and vegetables, Shaklee supplements, alkaline water, and eating only vegetables and whole grains. The basic position of this program is that the body can heal itself if given a chance. The average person has cancer cells in their body but their immune system is strong enough to reject them. My immune system was obviously not strong enough to resist the cancer.
After three months, I went for another cat scan and blood test. My doctor reported to me that the cancerous growths had shrunk significantly. His words were, “I don’t know what you are doing, but keep it up because you are going to lick this.” I am continuing the program and plan, upon defeating this cancer, to make most of these practices a life style.
Please know that all the information listed below is how I am fighting my cancer. But I quickly want to add that hundreds of people have been praying for me. I know that God is going to heal me and I celebrate this. But in my heart of hearts, I know that it is God that is doing this and not just my holistic nutritional program.
Please know this post is not saying results would be the same for every body. But there are many wonderful testimonies just like his, and strong evidence that shows that our bodies can use the right nutrients and processes to heal itself! It’s a beautiful story of faith and commitment.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the cancer has returned, but Roscoe is focused intently on this regimen and has seen many improvements when he is consistent and careful with what he puts in his body. He has definitely defied the medical community’s assumptions of his length of life. We are so thankful for his life of love and ministry. As his family, we appreciate his devotion to keeping his body from growing the cancer any further.
