A Healing Journey: Defying the Odds and Embracing Holistic Wellness
Introduction:
In June, we received a devastating diagnosis of ovarian and colon cancer, accompanied by a mere 5% chance of survival until 2023. Faced with this challenging prognosis, Brian, Joziah and myself made a brave decision to forego conventional radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Instead, we embarked on a transformative journey of holistic healing, leaving behind our home in California and moving to Cape Town, South Africa. This blog chronicles our remarkable healing journey, filled with determination, alternative therapies, and a profound belief in the innate healing power of our bodies.
Discovering Life Shine Wellness Center:
My quest for holistic healing led us to Stellenbosch, where I found the Life Shine Wellness Center. This sanctuary became my haven, offering a range of innovative treatments and therapies designed to support my body's natural healing abilities. From super oxygen therapy to rice therapy, molecular hydrogen therapy, trauma release exercises, and more, each treatment played a vital role in my healing journey.
Exploring Alternative Healing Modalities:
At the Life Shine Wellness Center, I explored various alternative healing modalities that complemented my holistic approach. These included TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), Access Consciousness with 32 bars, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Body Code and Emotion Code, PEMF mats, and a plant-based diet. Each modality contributed to my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, fostering a harmonious balance within me.
Embracing Detoxification and Cleansing:
A significant aspect of my healing journey involved detoxification and cleansing practices. I incorporated lymphatic massages, reflexology, ion foot baths, and saunas into my routine, allowing my body to release toxins and restore its natural equilibrium. Additionally, I undertook a transformative 21-day water fasting experience, which further supported my body's ability to heal and rejuvenate.
The Triumph of Cancer-Free Living:
Against all odds, by the end of 2023, I received the incredible news that I was cancer-free. This monumental milestone validated my belief in the healing potential of our bodies and reinforced my commitment to a holistic approach. With renewed hope and determination, I now embark on a new chapter of my healing journey – healing my colon and reversing the colostomy that was necessary in August 2023.
Overcoming Deafness and Rediscovering the Joy of Dance:
During my season of healing, I faced yet another challenge – the loss of hearing in my left ear. The hair cells in my inner ear had died, leaving me with what they call a "dead ear." This deafness affected not only my social life but also my emotional well-being and passion for dance. However, I refuse to let this setback define me. My healing journey now encompasses the restoration of my hearing, reclaiming the joy of dance, and reconnecting with the world around me.
Conclusion:
My healing journey has been a testament to the extraordinary power within us to heal. By choosing a path less traveled and embracing holistic wellness, I defied the odds and triumphed over cancer. Through alternative therapies, detoxification practices, and unwavering belief in the power of healing in Jesus’ name, I have witnessed the resilience and remarkable potential of the human body. As I continue on this path, I invite you to join me in celebrating the incredible healing capacity we all possess. Together, we can inspire hope, ignite transformation, and embrace the beauty of our healing journeys.
the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
