Показать описание

In this episode, you will learn about Annette Davidson's journey as a long-time raw vegan who initially healed from Crohn's disease through a strict raw food diet, only to later face a life-threatening challenge: spleen cancer. Despite her adherence to the raw vegan lifestyle, Annette's health declined, and in 2019, doctors discovered an aggressive form of cancer on her spleen. This led to the difficult decision to undergo chemotherapy, which ultimately saved her life and forced her to reconsider the limitations of her diet.

Annette's story serves as a powerful reminder that while raw veganism can offer health benefits, it is not a cure-all. Her experience challenges the dogmatic beliefs often held within the raw vegan community and highlights the importance of a more balanced and flexible approach to diet. By incorporating some cooked foods, Annette was able to regain her strength and health, emphasizing the need to remain open to different approaches when dealing with severe health issues and to prioritize overall well-being.

I’m a colon hydrotherapist for the last 30 years. I’ve seen so many clients try juicing, cleansing, raw etc. I have seen certain personality types that end up with cancer and in my opinion, it’s related. I’ve seen it countless times. Repressing toxic emotions, fear, perfectionism, type A non stop vibe, not enough rest, balance. Anyway, just my observation. Once the cancer is established changing the diet and colonics rarely helps heal it. We’re energy beings. Healing is more than diet, although a balanced diet is very important. I wish he had asked her what her more about her state of being.

These types of interviews are worthless without more details.
Saying "I did this and I did that and it didn't work" without ALL of the details only adds to the confusion!

Something about those biopsies are sketchy asf. My cat had this tiny soft bump could hardly tell unless you really felt her stomach. Was like that for years, took her for an examination & the vet said could be scar tissue from her surgery. But suggested to do a biopsy.. she did. And it’s like she activated a bomb. That tiny bump, forget it. It grew, and grew and got so big eventually took her life. my great grandmother mentioned it something about the air getting into the tumor and it basically activates it.

So sorry for her pains. She should have consulted Dr Robert Morse. Sounds like she had a healing episode and didn’t understand her bodies signs. The doctors had no idea what was wrong with her until she had the scan. Oh look, a node on her spleen. How does a node on your spleen make you feel bad?

Since she had so many years in ill health, she could have had dozens of nodes/tumors that had previously been healed from her raw vegan lifestyle leaving just one last node/tumor to go.

Health is an optimal state of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Many years ago, I followed the Macrobiotic Diet, which was based on specific proportions of brown rice, seaweed, root vegetables, fermented and completely sugar-free.

It was based on zen Buddhist principles of yin-yang balance and eating only foods grown in your environment.

So, most fruits were eliminated unless you lived in a tropical climate.

Thus, there wasn’t even a place for a conversation about juicing.

It was introduced in America by a Japanese couple, Michio and Adeline Kushi.

They had a large group of American followers who ran the Kushi Institute in Brookline, MA.

The system was promoted as an “ anti-cancer diet; and I personally knew people who were cured of various types of cancer as a result of following the macrobiotic regimen.

The irony of it all was that BOTH of the Kushis died of cancer.

Now, re-read my FIRST sentence.

FOOD ALONE IS ONLY PART OF THE SOLUTION. WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A PHYSICAL BODY. 🙏🏾❤️😇

In traditional Chinese medicine, too much sweetness can injure the spleen. I heard her say that eating fruit all day until dinner was torture for her. She tortured herself until she developed spleen cancer. This is the most shocking example of TCM theory.
Ann Osborne loves loves loves fruit and it's not torture but paradise for her to eat fruit all day. A person has to face their body's feedback about their diet and do what works for them. This is why the majority of vegans are not raw and eat cooked beans and plants.

This title is very misleading, and leads people away from the optimal solution. Astringent fruit feasting decongests lymphatic elimination channels, which resolves the root cause of cancer. This woman never even tried it. So far she's survived 3 years after chemo, and that's really not a great success story. She should learn about 100% grape feasting if she wants to be around for a 6 year update.

Chemo temporarily buried her symptoms, but it damaged her and the underlying problem is still there. Conventional medicine usually uses 5 year survival rates because that's when it reemerges, but much worse such that their methods are no longer effective.

I've spent decades as a research scientist, then went through the medical school curriculum. They make several flawed assumptions, and students do not have the experience nor incentive to question this training. It's almost entirely memorization, and it forms the fundamental basis for why they're so terrible at handling cancer and chronic diseases. Do not mistake this bureaucratic system for science. They avoid the scientific method whenever it really matters, and that should be obvious based on their ignorance about diet.

Thank you for sharing🙏🏻💗 I was eating high raw and getting better but after a year I started to get sicker and sicker and when I incorporated cooked food again I began to heal. I was so confused because I thought raw diet was the highest diet of all for me😅oeps I totally did not listen to my body… now my body speaks to me and it tells me it wants to eat 50 % raw and 50 % cooked. I have never been more happier because I feel grounded for the first time in my life and much calmer. When I was high raw I could not focused because I was so exited all the time and flying ski high in the clouds of love😂. Even my natural kundalini’s were gone on high raw and when I started to eat steamed potatoes it came back 😊. Every body needs something else. So thank you for sharing, because I was doubting myself. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It didn't happen because of her diet. It happened because of her emotional state of being. I highly recommend the book "Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing" - by Anita Moorjani. It explains everything.

I don't know why people make ot a big deal when someone supposedly gets sick as if food is all we need to be healthy. Environment, stress levels...etc what was she going through emotionally before she got the cancer? And if she was sick before, that could have contributed to her getting sick again, she wasn't fully healed. If ypur body is healed, it's healed, you cannot get sick. Fruit doesnt cause any disease.

As a raw vegan for 12 years, I ate one tablesppon of spirulina algae for two years. I ended up getting a tumor in my chest. The tumor grew so large that it was literally suffocating me to death. In June, I was in the hospital and did one cycle (one week) of chemotherapy to shrink the tumor enough to allow me to breathe. I was released from the hospital, and I was supposed to do about two more cycles of chemotherapy. But I did my research and decided to discontinue the chemodrug due to the risk of causing more health problems. So I'm eating nothing but green foods to detoxify my body, taking alternative medicine, natural remedies, and supplements to boost my immune system to dissolve this tumor naturally. It's all about clearing the body through detoxification. When you fix the cells, you get well.
I'm not doing Algaes anymore. It doesn't belong in the body.

Diet is huge but that can’t be the only thing. Sleep, exercise, emotional health and environmental toxins

Did she take the vaxx?
Also pesticides, GMO's, fluoridated water, chemtrails, EMF radiation from cell phones and cell phone towers...

Dr. Batmanghelidj proved that most cancer is a symptom of chronic dehydration. You can see in her skin especially her throat area that her skin is very dry and wrinkly, it looks dehydrated. Even if she water fasted, if she didn't get the right salt/sodium balance during the water fast, it might not have hydrated her properly, because the water/sodium/salt level has to be balanced for optimum hydration. Fruits and juices can be somewhat hydrating, but by the looks and sounds of things she needed to drink more water and to maybe add in some salt in order to balance and optimize her hydration.

Fruit, is not the issue in the sense of being “too much sugar”. Human cells need an abundant amount of fruit sugar. With that said, produce isn’t grown or picked in the most optimal conditions in many places. And while fruit is absolutely needed to detoxify the cells, it won’t fully restore your health to vibrant health, or prevent you from developing health conditions if you aren’t healing and feeding your entire self holistically. You can have the most perfect diet but if you have unresolved trauma, stress, are living out alignment, or are shooting up toxic substances such as the c o v i d shots, then your perfect diet will only get you so far. Food isn’t the end all be all to vibrant health.

Stress is the number 1 killer, Diet only helps. I learned that when I had got diagnosed for my thyroid when I was raw. I didn’t understand how that can happen after research it comes down to how you cope with day to day situations. Stay out of fight or flight mode!

Write interview and thank you for sharing! However, a biopsy disturbs the tumor and that is that how they're finding the cancer spreads so that biopsy could have been the cause of what changed because she said after the biopsy is when everything changed changed. You're not supposed to cut cancer cells apart that's how they spread.

Here's my perspective on this, and take it with a grain of salt:

1) If you're constantly looking for something, you'll eventually find it. The mind is powerful.

2) Lots of raw or "high" raw vegans under-eat and this really messes with the homeostasis in your body. Doing it for short-term might not cause issues but if you continue to do it for years, it will eventually catch up to you. How do I know? I was one of those people.

3) Lots of vegans are dehydrated. They think because they're eating so much fruit they don't need water. Not true. And then on top of that they drink plain water. I am one of those people that can't absorb plain water. I need to add salt or electrolytes.

3) Doing extended fasts, whether that's water fast or juice fast is unnecessary. Again, messes with the homeostasis in your body. Short-term 1-3 day fast once in a while probably no issue. But what's up with all these long fasts that are unnecessary? "Unless" you're extremely overweight or have a disease? Most vegans just become really obsessed with being "clean" and overdo it.

Again, this is based on my perspective and experience. Perhaps she did everything right and still got cancer. There's many others factors that come into play like other comments on here have said. Stress being really high up there in importance along with diet.
