Many of you have asked me about my recent revelation with respect to breast cancer so I’ve decided to share my journey with you thru this blog.
If you’ve seen the positive changes in me and in my life over the past few months and you want to know “what am I doing?” here are the answers to whatever it is you need to know for your own personal journey. Scroll down to the bottom where my first entry begins...
Healing Depression and Bipolar Disorder without Drugs. Gracelyn will speak at our next Monavie Meeting this Tuesday. She is quite an inspiration for those looking for alternatives no matter what the illness. Please join us for a book signing and more valuable information about detoxification and healing.
Read the inside story: Food As Pharma. I've been telling everyone to watch Food Matters...Hippocrates made it to the cover of TIME (finally some respect!)
If it were not for the reasearch of this man, there would not have been Acai available in this country! I'm so grateful to Dr. Shauss and more healthy today because of his discoveries. Thank you for my autographed copy!
This book I recommend to those who wish to learn more about the science behind Monavie. Acai:
If you havn't already seen this amazing film, view the trailer online or go to website for local screenings. Don't miss it here in Mystic CT onSunday July 19th at 11:30am accompanied by a taste of MonaVie - 19 organic & wild fruits in a bottle. Proceeds will go to the Cancer Project- an organization dedicated to nutrional education for the purpose of disease prevention & healing.
Based on the principals of what I learned about diet this past year. This movie is a must see for anyone seeking the truth about plant based diets versus animal protein based diets and how we are impacting the environment with our food choices. Can consuming dairy be bad for us? Find out how this further impacts our life and very existance on this planet. Please watch this link and support the work of http://www.cancerproject.org/ I plan to show this movie in my home theater and in my town in order to support the efforts of great men like T. Colin Campbell and Neil Barnard. *MonaVie is a plant based nutritional beverage that is organic, non processed and enviromentally freindly. For more information, see http://www.realhealthanswers.com/
On stage in NYC at the Marriott Marquis, I was asked by Dallin Larsen CEO, how Monavie has blessed my life......This was what I had to say to 45,000 viewers all over the world.
FOOD MATTERS was the message that I had to learn last year, Monavie was just a catalyst or "fast fruit in a bottle" that helped me on my way to recovery.

Yes, it's been one year since my diagnosis and I'm doing great. NO drugs, No chemo. No radiation. No more medical procedures other than a blood test now and then. Cancer FREE.
I owe it all to The China Study by T.Colin Campbell, my doctors Harris Brody and Karl Goldkamp and the changes I've made in my diet this year. If you havn't seen the show THE DOCTORS featured on Jan 7,09 you must go to this link:http://www.realhealthanswers.com/
We had a very successful Cancer Project party on Dec 12th 08. It made the press here in Mystic and I plan to do this every quarter. Our guest Speaker, Neal Barnard, who was also featured on the ELLEN SHOW will be back again this quarter.
I also had the great pleasure of meeing Dr. Buttar at his last lecture in Orlando on New Years. What a way to welcome in 2009- surrounded with people who know about better health.
And if you havn't read this book yet: Harnessing the Healing Power of Fruit by Roger Rinn, you are missing the point about better health. Dr. Rinn was also at the Orlando event and I'm shown with him here. I told him that I was living proof that his book is true.
If you havn't been reading this blog, you may not know that I've been passing along free informatoin to those willing to learn about healing. This is the kind of information one pays dearly for. I find the word "alternative" an oxymoron. With FOOD being my medicine, the alternative to this would be more surgery, drugs and radiaiton. Interestingly, these treatments are covered- my food and suppliments are not. This movie is not yet released but you can view the trailer. The Beautiful Truth Movie
Don't stop there...read The China Studyif you think you knew about healthy eating..read again. This is a national best seller. You can think of this as the owner's manual to the human body.
We beleive this should be mandatory reading for anyone entering the health field and required reading for grade school students, teachers and cafeteria program directors.
For more informatoin: go to http://www.cancerproject.org/ This site offers a free download of the Cancer Survivors Handbook.
Thank's to Jayne and her book, Crack the Cancer Code, Greg and I were able to meet a person first hand that has healed herself 12 yrs ago with food and a great mindset. Jayne stayed with us this past week and even though she's British and doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving...we have much to be thankful for. Her message saved my life and continues to inspire others.
Diamond Executive Scott Falany of Jacksonville FL aslo paid us a visit during this time. Our home was filled with over 60 guests all interested in the Monavie Opportunity. In these tough times, Greg and I were happy to help create over 100 new job positions in our company. Jayne spoke about Antioxidants at our "tasting party" and also counselled a few of my patients at the practice about diet and healing cancer.
Friday, December 12th at 4pm, we are hosting a Party For Life to support the Cancer Project. For more information, go to http://www.cancerproject.org/ Unfortunately, Jayne had to leave for the UK but she left behind some very healthy minded people who are willing to share what we've learned with all those who attend. Her book will be offered at a discount during the event.
For a few long months this year, my life was "hijacked" by cancer and the fear of unknown. Several months had passed before I had the courage to embark on this quest. What I'm about to give to you, the reader, not only cost me thousands of dollars and a right breast, it set me free. You see, I needed to find the "answer to cancer" or at the very least, the truth about why this is such an epidemic and "why me".
I knew you couldn't find a solution until you knew what the proplem was. So my journey began. I began to ask questions, read, interview, travel, watch DVD's and get 2nd,k 3rd and 4th opinions. I recommend you do all the same.
In 2 months, I absorbed more data than some people have the opportunity to view in a lifetime. I rapidly learned that at 44 yrs old, most of the information given to me was either incorrect or incomplete. We've all heard the phrase, "the truth shall set you free". It's true. I'm here- alive today to tell you...always seek the truth. Fear is darkness. Knowledge is light. Just as light puts out darkness, knowledge conqueres fear. Syncronicity put people in my life at this juncture who helped me find that knowledge, quell my fear and give me the couragae to look within.
The enlightenment I experienced from this journey amazing. There were many experts telling me what to do. After the reasearch I put in, I chose the expert inside of me- my conscious. How empowering is that! Its quite a realization when you actually trust yourself to listen to yourself. To do this, one requires knowledge. Beleiving in yourself and that knowledge is what sets you free....it can also heal!
There are no coincindences. The people I've met on my journey were meant to come into my life at these exact moments. The only way that I could have found these truths was to collide with the knowlege of these individuals. If you've seen the movie, The Secret, you know what I mean.
The first person I met was Jayne Harvey, England. Jayne had puplished a download of her book, Crack The Cancer Code . In my desperate search for an "alternative" cure, I found Jaynes book, read it and began following it until one day she emailed me. Her message saved me emotionally. I learned that there other people out there who didn't use conventional medicine to health themselves and I could do it too! We began a wonderful friendship online. I plan to host her visit to the USA and assist with putting this work of art on DVD.
While this was going on, my neighbor Angie told be about wheat grass. Her mother, Joanne, had gone thru this many years ago and felt it was an excellent thing to read about. I quickly contacted an online source and spoke to Katherine about ordering a juicer and some harvested grass that she sends FedEx fresh from Fl. This was my introduction to Sampson 6 in 1 juicers and the Wheatgrass book. I learned some eye openning stuff from this book which led me to the next step...alternative medicine.
As I juiced grass, Dr. Chris Deveau learned about my situation and brought over a case of Monavie. This is a high antioxidant puree derived from 19 fruits including the acai berry from Brazil. Chris informed me that it helps to reduce inflammation and protect the immune system. I needed that so I began 3 oz in the am and pm every day. Greg did the same. What followed was amazing...
I called my freinds Lauren and Dana to tell them what was up. They sent me a Life Extension article about CoQ10 and cancer. I learned quickly that I was lacking a few vitamins and minerals even thought I pride myself on taking my daily suppliments. My OBGN told me to have my Vit D levels checked. Dr. David Schwindt, my MD told me about the need for Melatonin and exercise. Everyone involved became part of the "make Jackie well again team". I was surrounded by great energy and fantastic minds.
Chris suggested I see Dr. Karl GoldKamp so I did. We did blood tests and determined what suppliments I needed to boost my immunity and rescue my body from the state it was in. I learned so much about myself. I had a heavy metals urine test, a spectrocell test for coQ10, natural killer cell tests and lots of education on how to eat right. Karl suggested that I take my daily dose of Monavie PULSE (just released Sept 08) since it has ingredients proven to fight cancer cells.
Karl also suggested I pursue colon hydrotherapy. Yup, that's the one thing I said I'd never do. But when you are trying to detox and clean out years of meat and dairy byproducts, you've got to do this. He referred Linda Zitka, RN, ACH, CHT who made another amazing difference in my life. She offers many therapies including the "Susan Somers" Ondamed laser treatment.
Meanwhile, my neighbor Angie, introduced me to her mom. Joanne had suggested I take a trip to PA to meet her doctor from 13 yrs ago. She was so vibrant and glad to help so I said I'd go. Sadly, this didn't happen until after my surgery but I eventually got around to it. It seemed kind of far, I was pressured by getting this surgery over with and I was getting pretty down on "alternatives" after looking into a few other options. I had a right mastectomy in May of 2008.
By Mid June, I called for an appointment with Joanne's doctor. Rene Scally answered the phone. That was pretty wild since I was childhood freinds with Patty Scally (Rene's sister in law). My parents had just return from a trip to PA in which they told me they "ran into" Rene. Somthing in the stars were lined up here- I know I had to make this appointment with Dr. Harris Brody H.M.D., N.M.D, CN. Little did I know that this was Rene's father. He would be the one who would change my life forever. He told me about Raw Food and how my body was infected by a yeast called Candida. Dr Brody discussed the healing power of RAW CHOCOLATE and turned me onto David Wolfe, worlds authority on Superfoods- (He's also into planting treesand promoting chocolate for health- my kind of guy!). My friend Connie accompanied me to this visit since I was 1 month postop. We were both amazed how food could heal the body of this condition and much more!
I returned with the feeling that this would just not fly with Greg. Afterall, we were big carnivores. We even were signed up to get "meat in the mail" by Allen Bros and Omeha Steaks! At first we were both a bit reluctant. Weviewd the DVD Healing Cancer together after my return from PA. We were each motivated to not live another day in poor health. We learned about the "mis"information handed to Americans by the food and drug companies, big corporations, government and media. We read the book, The China Study-Human beings were not meant to eat animal products. We learned it, we accepted it and we started doing it. In June of this year, we began eating raw!
Cold Turkey- that's what it was. No coffee, no sugar, no meat, no dairy, no wheat, nothing processed. No animal protein- not even fish!
I called Linda Norris, RN to do a Barbara Brennan healing with me to lift my spirits after my mastectomy. Linda knew about raw food and turned me onto http://www.oneluckyduck.com/ She was surprised to find me in excellent health and pretty upbeat considering what I had just been thru. I don't know what actually happened that day but this is when my mission began. I had a real spiritual breakthrough. I thought the Secret was a great movie- well I was living it. Other healers like David Farkas and Maggie Landman (from Australia) and my friend Indigo Nat came to visit me. Everywhere I turned, I ran into someone else who knew just what to do and say. The "make jackie well again team" was growing- I couldn't help but feel better with all this great energy swirling around me. I was attracting people into my life that I never knew I could.
I had heard about the BioMat through a friend. I scheduled a session without knowing that the BioMat Clinic was next door to my surgeon's office! (talk about synchronicity) After feeling the soothing effects of the BioMat, I was ready to have one shipped to my home ASAP. The BioMat's light technology speeds up cell renewal, providing detoxification and deep relaxation to assist the body in balancing itself. You lay on this amethyst crystal mat feeling the warmth from the Far Infrared rays penetrating several inches into your body. Negative ions being the third component allow for (optimal cell functioning & health, especially the removal of cellular wastes).... When I went for my 2 week check-up following the surgery, my surgeon was amazed at how quickly my incision had healed AND there was no bruising of the skin typical for manipulation of the area. I sleep on my BioMat as much as I can. Greg had an amazing reaction to it..we both felt the clarity of mind, detox effects, weight loss and basic higher energy level. Our attitudes began to change for the positive- no more stress! For additional information, contact Independent International BioMat Distributor Jocelyne Colombe at 860.830.1115 or http://www.universalbiomat.com/ Turns out, Jocelyn is Egyptian and is a spiritual healer too. I was just following a lead to get a gizmo for my health and I found another individual who would be instrumental in helping me in my mission. Did you ever notice the synchronicities in life? They become stronger as you get closer to following your mission. If you are not in tune with your mission, you miss these opportunities. Being "in tune" is what was turning Greg and I on. We lived for the next big "coincidence". Boy did they keep comming....
Greg was the very first person I attracted into my life 6 yrs ago. Without him, none of this would have been possible. He stood by me thru 4 different biopsies, many opinions and appointments, tears, fears and lots of self doubt and ultimately a right mastectomy. He always supported that my gut feelings were correct- no matter how many conflicing opinons we were given. I trusted him to help me make these decisions because he is one of the greatest decison makers of all time. We agreed that I needed the surgery inorder to label myself "cured". We both knew that removing a breast or nuking my system wasn't going to "cure" me of cancer. The tumors were just "warning" signs of the condition my body was in (just like an idiot light on the dashboard). I was being told by a force from within that "It's time to clean up my act". We both knew it had to come from a change in diet, a change in thinking and a change in how we lived. This was a paradigm shift for our entire family and the best thing we ever did. Change is good- beleive me.
Greg was the last person on earth I thought would embrace a raw food diet. He did it because he not only loved me and wanted to support my health; he learned the truth by watching Healing Cancer and that's what set us both free. Not only did we each loose 15 lbs but emotional baggage and negativity slipped away. How nice to feel alive from eating LIVE FOOD. (I knew radiation and drug therapy wouldn't have done that for me!) Happy feelings emerged, more energy, no more aches and pains, dry skin, acne or allergies. We were convinced we'd live forever feeling this good. We had the "glow". Knowing we were on the right path, we began to tell others about what we've experienced.
Now EVERYONE was noticing us. "What where they doing?" Didn't she just have surgery? How can they be this happy after just being diagnosed with cancer? What is going on? Are they really eating RAW FOOD? This is where the story gets really good. ..there is just too much to tell in a blog.
This video was fimed over 1 year ago (5 months before my diagnosis). The show featured on the top right of this blog was filled DURING my biopsies and pre-surgical consults. Even though the fear was there, I was determined to be the person I was pre-cancer. Thanks to the events that brought all these terrific people to my side, I emerged even brighter than ever!
Vitamix: The number one item on our list. We never heard of it before unitl Tim Bishop sent me one for my birthday. To this day, it's the singlmost item responsible for quick starting my raw food lifestyle. I probably would not have purchased a $450 item for myself that seemed to be just another kitchen gadget but that was before I knew about Raw Food.
It's a turbo blender that can cook soup and make ice cream all in one. There is a great DVD that comes with the purchase so its "out of the box" easy to use and easy to clean. Best smoothies we've ever had- we take our on trips all the time. I use mine 3 times a day! They are made in USA by a family in Ohio. If you use this code, you will get free shipping: 06-003490. Get the 5200 model. Ask me for a brochure.
Samson 6 in 1 Juicer: Even though it's not the first on my list, this was the very first peice of equipment I purchased. It juices wheat grass with ease. I recently ordered a portable manual plastic model which you can find on the website.
Saladaco: Helps to spiralize veggies to make "pasta" and fun decorative salads
Mandolin: Benriner makes it easy to slice thin sections. I use this for raw raviolies (turnip)
Dehydrator: Excalibur 5 or 9 tray unit- you'll need this for those coconut Macaroons!
Banana holder: Organic bananas are great to freeze when they are ripe (remove the skins)
The BioMat Essential for healing, far infared energy from within an amathyst crystal mat that detoxifies cells and puts the mind into a theta state of healing.
Use the saladaco to spiral the zucchini. Sauce in the blender
