It was 14 years ago. Stephanie called to tell me she was going to her “Look Good, Feel Better” appointment. I asked what that was, never having heard the phrase before. She told me she was going to be fitted for a couple of wigs, as her hair was falling out in bunches, and she would soon be totally bald.
I stood there, quite floored.
All that shining hair gone? How did that happen? It was then I first learned that it was what chemo did to you. Not exactly the most exciting prospect for any woman. And although Steph was quite upbeat about it, talking about the different hairstyles she could design anytime she wanted, I knew it was a wrench for her. She was always so well turned out—lovely classic styles with a Montreal flair, perfectly matched earrings and shining shoulder-length blond tresses that swayed elegantly when she walked.
Steph had cancer first in the psoas muscle. Then it migrated to her kidneys, then it accompanied her to the memorial service.
Didn’t have to be that way.
Had I been able to offer her what I can now, Steph might still be dressing up in her famous Halloween costumes as the most elegant witch you ever saw, a scullery-maid with mop and bucket, or a slender bunny rabbit with giant sunglasses.
Had she known that cancer was not the tumour, that it was really a candida problem, that it could have been taken care of by natural means, in the same or less time than it took for her to undergo all those devastating treatments but without the side effects, she might still have been with us now, as are many who have gone the non-drug route.
Yes, it is good to get to the real source. If you have a cancer diagnosis there’s hope outside the box. Real hope. The hope that gets you back on your feet again, going about your daily affairs and living cancer-free. Not pottering around with just her wee doggie for company when her husband was away on his numerous business trips.
We have modern ways of dealing with the real sources of cancer−candida, parasites and injuries. They include treating the person, not the cancer alone. We are not a mere organism, we are a spirit, a body and mind all rolled into one. Any successful approach has to address all three. I’ve been working with one such approach, which I’ll tell you more about in future posts.
Do you know someone who is trying to live cancer-free? Tell me the story in the comment section: it could be a family member, a friend or a child you know. How did it affect them? Tell me.
Say cancer-free, OK?

No, Not me! I’m cancer-free!
Jacquelyn Johnston, M.Ed. RCRT
I sincerely hope so.
But you’ve been told you’re not exactly cancer-free you have a world of choice before you. No need to rush into anything. In most cases the cancer took a decade to develop. Stay brave. Think with me.
Now how does anyone stay cancer-free? In the absolute sense no one can say they know. But all things being equal, we can if we know how.
Do the twin prongs of nutrition and air come to mind? It seems most people get fortified this way. I know I do. What’s on a typical menu for you? And how often do you get outside for some exercise? Takes a bit more than that, I know, and don’t worry, we’ll get to it.
My friend Marshall tells me there’s no cancer in his family, so he’s safe. However, we all have cancer cells in the body. They don’t show up in tests until they’re in the billions. When your doctor tells you there are no cancer cells it simply means they can’t be detected in tests because there aren’t enough of them.
Did you know? Many of us get cancer once a week. When that happens and we’ve been eating and breathing properly the cancer is beaten. Many of us beat it about seven times in a lifetime, often without a diagnosis. Given the right nutrients, the body rises to the occasion.
You must be super-saturated with all the information out there about environmental toxins. Our food supply has been compromised by early harvesting, genetic modification and soil overuse. In the Middle Ages they used to let the soil rest every seven years. Today we think we’re super smart with fertilizers and just keep ploughing them into the soil to artificially enrich it. But Mother Nature needs a holiday too.
Have you been out in the city streets in rush hour and inhaled the pungent fumes? Fumes you might not have noticed include the ones given off silently by carpet glue, detergents, dishwashing fluid, and other cleaners. Have you ever noticed the smell of the fumes coming out of the dishwasher once the powder gets heated up?
We were never meant to inhale all this chemical output, and are ill-equipped to deal with the toxins that accompany it. Nor can we remove them from the body fast enough. Guess what all the dead cells do! If we are overweight, we have two strikes against us: fat cells wrap themselves round the toxins and keep a disproportionate number of them in the body. One fine day, the body protests—that’s when cancer takes over.
Stay tuned: we’re going to show those unwanted lodgers the door!
Know of any other lodgers? Leave me a comment!

Weigh Bigger Than You Think
Jacquelyn Johnston, M.Ed. RCRT
Yesterday there was a major parade going down the streets in downtown Vancouver. There were huge banners announcing the name of the float, or the band, or a community group. Well the same thing happens when cancer declares itself. There are announcements that say it’s coming.
One of the clearest trumpet-calls is weight. Too much of it. Now if you’ve been reading my blogs on diabesity you know that it’s the forerunner of many bad things.
One of them is cancer.
If you’re overweight you are laying out the red carpet for diabetes, and an even redder one for cancer. In fact, one of the best ways to remain cancer-free is to be the right weight. And how do you know you’re in the right range?
Well, will you try something, please? Get a tape measure. A flexible one, not one of those you get from the hardware store that spring right back into the case.
Step 1. Stand against a wall in your bare feet and make the tiniest pencil mark on the wall where the top of your head is. Done? Good. (Make it a light mark, please. You’re going to erase it later).
Next, measure your height in inches, or in centimeters, if you’re in Canada. Write down the number. Done? Good. Now divide the number by 2. Use a calculator if you like. Got the answer? Please write it down.
OK, step 2 now. Measure your waist. Don’t stretch the tape. Let it circle your waist, on your bare skin, nice and easy, and get the measurement. In inches if you used inches for your height, in centimeters if you’re in Canada. And yes, please write it down. Done? Good.
Math class isn’t over yet. Is the number in Step 2 bigger than the number in Step 1?
If it is, you might want to get to work straight away. It means you’re overweight. It means you’re paving the way to cancer, diabetes, diabesity, heart disease, LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, COPD, and many other chronic conditions. Incidentally, every one of these likes company. You buy one, you get one free.
Right now, the one I’d like to focus on cancer. Why? Fat cells hold toxins. Lots of them, and keep them in the body. Too many toxins and you’re headed in the cancerous direction. Maybe not tomorrow morning, but then the red carpet’s unraveling.
You may choose to do nothing, and say it won’t kill you.
On the other hand, you can hit the gym, or, better still, you can call me for a free consultation. We’ll have a lot to talk about. Real soon. And a lot to do to keep you healthy and, for that matter, alive. It’s a weighty matter.
You’ve got a lot of living to do. People you love are waiting for you.
See you cancer-free tomorrow, I hope.
