came across this video during research. officially diagnosed with b c on 3/24/23. at first, everything was so overwhelming, frustrating, disappointing, etc. but i pulled my pants up, and have been discussing the best treatment options for my type of b c. am i still nervous, you bet, but i know that with God, all things are possible, if i believe. my diet wasn’t bad but could definitely be better. watching the video gave me more and better food options to include. i will beat this and be better than ever afterwards. best wishes to all! 💓🎀

[robertmorgan]

Thank you thank you thank you. I’ve been cancer free. For almost 20 years two flareups the last one eight years ago. I did a 21 day water fast and the cancer disappeared whenever I feel like there is a problem or doctor recommends that I see a surgeon, I begin to immediately do a short term fast cut out all oil, sugar and salt. I was raw vegan for 10 years. Now I eat cooked vegetables, raw fruits, only and still stay salt, oil and sugar-free. Thank you for having this wonderful lady on. God bless you all.

Thanks Lauren for sharing the five most peventive foods, but can i mention a view things you forgot to mention?
# 1 Raw Garlic, after crushing should sit for at least 10 minutes in order for the allicin to be produced, which is the power of raw garlic.
# 2 Turmeric needs to be taken with black pepper for the body to digest it properly.
# 3 I know berries are very healthy, but commercial blue berries and straw berries and grapes are loaded with pesticides, organic is the only safe way.
Sorry, just trying to be helpful.

I am at the 11th year of surviving terminal Prostate cancer. I chose the plant based diet rather than chemo & radiation. My recent PSA is still at 0.03.

[yvonneyoung]

This sounds almost identical to what happened to me. We could have written this word for word and the same decision making process. After all was said and done, I also did not do chemo or radiation. This was in late 2013. They monitored me for a little over a year. I just became tired of the scans because I realized that this chemical can also bring about cancer. I just stopped everything. Put all of my faith, trust in the word of God. I am still here and feeling great. If anything is up, I am fighting it everyday. Trying to strengthen my system all of the time. Year 10!! They called it lung cancer!! All praise to God!!

[normatolentino]

Thank you I am a breast cancer for 20 years I really believe food Is the best medicine and I am 78 years we have to inform people

[chrismyers]

Cranberries / Bone broth / Lemon / Pomegranate / Watercress / Chaga Mushroom / Leeks / Moringa / Broccoli Sprouts / Green Onions - been studying this subject for twenty years. 1000's of hours of investigation. This list is for real. Best wishes to all.

[Dreamysunshine]

Not only does food play a part of health but it's also stress and environment so no one should be ashamed in getting sick... there's a reason why she's still here to be able to tell her story

[carolwong]

What an inspiration Lauren is. So glad she is clear of cancer. Prayers.

[promillakandhari]

67year old cancer survivor, all the three steps were done... Lord Jesus blessed me with good oncologist, surgeon and radiologist. It is by the grace of God that medicines work so well on me.
During my chemo, I too depended on lemon water. Veggies and garlic have become my favourite unknowingly. Thanks beautiful young Lauren for info.

[k.h.]

1) cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, kale, radishes, brussels sprouts etc), preferably raw, add mustard powder.
2) garlic
3) berries (any, but esp. blackberries, amla)
4) mushrooms (any)
5) turmeric (get curry powder, which includes black pepper, which increases the benefit)
BONUS: soy (yes, really)

I just need to state this: YOU DON"T NEED THE PERMISSION OF ANY MD/ONCOLOGIS TO REFUSE CONVENTIONAL/CHEMO PATH. This is YOUR LIFE and you get to decide all the final decisions of your treatment. NEVER allow any doctor to bully you or use the infamous fear tactics to coerce you into doing any treatment you don't believe in or do not want to do. There are holistic things you can do. DO YOU DUE DILIGENCE!

[divinetiming]

Fasting and no sugar. Vitamin D is always important. A patient spoke that he fasted 5 days a month as to also fasted before and after his chemo for lung cancer. Ate alot of salads too he ate all through his treatments, he beat a rare lung cancer. He also said he was under alot of stress prior diagnosis. That eliminating stress is very important. Blessings to everyone 🙏 Great informative video.
Thank you!

[michellejones]
