Sharon Latson's Triumph Over Breast Cancer

When I met Sharon about four years ago, I asked her if she was going

to

join her husband Ed, one of my clients, on the road to health. She

replied that she was already healthy --- she never got sick --- and

it

wasn't necessary to change her diet because she was doing just fine.

Sharon never had any major illnesses other than a bout with

hepatitis as

a child. And, she was never hospitalized except when giving birth to

her

two children. Her diet consisted of just about anything she wanted

and

she didn't experience any negative affects from her eating habits --

she

usually felt fine. She was about 35 pounds overweight - but she felt

it

was " normal. " Weight gain was something that happens with age.

Right?! After all, most people her age, 52, looked and felt worse

than

she did.

 

Two years before her menopause began, Sharon's family doctor put her

on

estrogen. Why? She didn't know. He just told her it would be a good

idea, and she followed his advice. The estrogen made her feel

terrible

and anxious, so after two years, she stopped. Soon after she stopped

the

estrogen, she started menopause. She experienced frequent " hot

flashes "

- six to ten times a day - and heavy night sweats. These night

sweats

were so bad she had to get up to change her soaked sheets. Mood

swings

tormented her daily, and she usually felt anxious. In addition to

the

menopause symptoms, she developed pains in both of her shoulders.

The

doctors weren't sure whether the pain was arthritis or bursitis.

Sharon

couldn't reach above her head without hurting and her grip strength

was

weak, at best.

 

Sharon resigned herself to the fact that all women eventually had to

go

through menopause and have these problems -- they were " normal. "

And,

most of her friends had more aches and pains then she did, so she

felt

relatively lucky, and assumed her shoulder problems were " normal, "

too.

Sharon believed, as most women do, that aches, pains, and menopause

symptoms were part of the " normal " aging process and there wasn't

anything she could do about it - except take drugs to ease the

discomfort. For her shoulder pain she took several types of

over-the-counter medications, which gave her minimal temporary

relief.

 

Even though her husband, Ed, was looking and feeling great - was

healthy

for the first time in his life, and had incredible energy - this did

not

sway Sharon. She did not believe she could stop the " signs of

aging, "

and she was not motivated to make any changes.

 

In March, 1997, Sharon had a complete physical examination that

included

a mammogram. The day following the exam her doctor called to say

that

they had seen something " suspicious " in the mammogram, and that

surgery

was required to determine exactly what it was.

 

Sharon went into a hospital the following week for a lumpectomy. Two

days following the surgery Sharon was told she had breast cancer.

She

and Ed were shocked. They consulted with a cancer specialist who

confirmed the diagnosis. She was told that her cancer was localized,

and

there was no indication that the cancer had spread to any

surrounding

tissue or to her lymph system. Three separate doctors recommended

additional surgery to either " clean out " the area, or to remove the

breast completely. A daily six week course of radiation treatment

was

also recommended.

 

Sharon and Ed nearly caved in under the threat of cancer, but they

called me to see what I had to say. I explained to them that cancer

was

an indication of a failing immune system. Lumps show up locally, but

the

problem is systemic - indicating a very toxic body. If the symptoms

are

treated or removed but the underlying problem is not solved, the

symptoms will simply pop up again somewhere else in the body. This

is

why women, in as little as six months after surgery - after they

were

told that their doctors had " got it all " - show up with symptoms in

other parts of their bodies. I told them about my friend Lucianna.

She

was told that her cancer was localized. Lucianna was filled with

fear

and opted to have her breast removed - the symptom removed - and

then to

undergo the radiation treatment. Her doctors said they " got it all " -

 

two years later the cancer " spread, " and there was nothing they

could

then do, except once again try to treat the symptoms. She died. I

also

explained to Sharon and Ed that cancer cells are nothing more than

abnormal cells. We all get them. But a healthy immune system cleans

them

up before they get out of control. Cancer is never a " localized "

disease. The conventional treatment for it is unnatural

and totally illogical, and that's why it fails.

 

Sharon's immune system was compromised. Her " never getting sick "

actually meant that her body was never cleaning house. It was

storing

poisons and not eliminating them. After years and years of poisoning

her

body, her immune system gave out, and she got hit all at once.

Sharon

and Ed began to consider various alternative ways of confronting the

cancer. Of course, they were bombarded by their family and friends,

who

spoke up out of genuine concern and love, but also out of ignorance.

Finally, after long talks and much consideration, Sharon decided not

to

have the surgery or the radiation treatments. She opted instead to

strengthen her immune system and allow her own body to rid itself of

the

cancer cells. Under my guidance, Sharon began a strict juice

cleansing

diet, drinking only freshly squeezed (never bottled) organic citrus

fruits - oranges, grapefruits, tangelos, and also some juiced

tomatoes.

She drank as much as she wanted, whenever she wanted - usually about

96

ounces a day. This continued for 50 days.

 

About the second week into the cleanse, Sharon realized that her

menopause symptoms had completely vanished. The night sweats and hot

flashes had stopped, and her mood swings had ceased. Sharon noted an

" improved sense of well being. " Three weeks into the fast, Sharon's

shoulder pain had completely stopped, and her grip strength had

returned. She also noticed that her energy level was much higher

than

before - higher then she could ever remember.

 

Sharon's lifestyle has completely changed as a result of her cancer

scare. She still drinks a lot of fresh, organic juices, and she eats

fruits and some veggies - all organic and raw. Sharon vows that she

will

never return to her old eating habits. She loves her new body -

she's

slim and fit with lots of energy. And, now without the menopause

symptoms and the shoulder pain, she has renewed sexual energy. She

and

Ed are finally enjoying their lives together.

 

Sharon knows that her immune system is working. She and Ed know that

the

cancer is gone but I asked her to go back to the doctor for another

mammogram so the rest of the world (including the doctors, her

family,

and her friends) can have medical proof. So, on July 1, 1997, Sharon

returned for a medical opinion. After examining Sharon and talking

with

her, the doctor said, " Don't tell my other patients what you're

doing -

it will put me out of business. "

 

On July 29, 1997, Sharon's mammogram was negative - no sign of

cancer.
