Celebrating Success!

Cancer Success Stories
Cancer is a chronic disease process. Once you have it, you have it and must manage it like any other chronic illness to prevent symptoms (tumors) or worsening of tumors (metastasis). It can absolutely be managed, there are millions of 'cancer thrivers' out there living their best lives despite having cancer.
You also have more control than you think you do. By optimizing your terrain (the soil in which the cancer is growing) through strategic nutrition, environment, and lifestyle design, you can create an inhospitable environment making cancer more vulnerable to your chosen treatment plan and reducing your chances of a recurrence.
Check out these incredible success stories of people using therapeutic ketogenic diets and tools from both toolboxes (conventional and alternative) to manage their cancering process and live their lives on their terms. I am doing it myself with vulvar cancer.
