MINDSET
There’s no denying that hearing the words — you have cancer — is quite
possibly one of the scariest sentences we will ever hear. And what follows
is a myriad of emotions, worry, stress, fear, and shock.

However, it is more important than ever, that during that moment we

remember to take a deep breath and not let go of your power. Cancer is
not an inevitable death sentence—it took a long time to develop… and we
still have time to reflect on the most appropriate treatment.

Here’s the thing, more often than not the oncologist wants to get us into
therapy right away. But we need to remember that we actually have
more healthy cells than cancerous ones. And it’s not necessary to spend
all of your energy being strictly cancer-focused… you should really be
focusing on your health instead.

Because by nourishing the mind and body, you can create an anti-
cancerous environment. Your body follows your beliefs, thoughts,
desires, and mental patterns.

Health starts with your mind — so does cancer.

PA G E 03
Stress creates an inflammatory environment that drives cancer.

Our immune cells have receptors for our neural transmitters, and feelings
such as joy, fear, or anxiety triggers the release of neurotransmitters that
have the ability to activate or suppress the function of immune cells.

Again, whenever we receive a cancer diagnosis, it’s easy to become

overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation.

And because of the seriousness of the situation, feeling the need to resolve it
quickly, and assuming someone else knows better than we do, we often try
to shift the responsibility to someone else, such as a doctor.

But in reality, this is the time for reflection. It’s the time to ask the most
pressing questions about who you are, what your purpose is, what your
passion is, and how you relate to the people you surround yourself with and
your environment.

By doing this, we are able to truly acknowledge that we are much more than
just life; if we die, we still exist in our pursuit of wholeness and joy.

There’s a lot of evidence on the strong connection between stress and the
immune system. When we become more stressed, more anxious, more
worried, or find ourselves going through difficult life events, our immune
system and its ability to function properly will be significantly lowered.

And having a strong immune system is vital to prevent cancer—but also

being able to defeat cancer if you have been diagnosed.
There are two things that are critically
important when it comes to mindset:

1 | How we respond to having

cancer itself.

How we respond to having cancer itself.

This is important because inevitably the
biggest fear for many people, by a
landslide, is the fear of death. And we
know that when someone has a cancer
diagnosis, the first reaction is, How long
will I live? A cancer diagnosis has this
ability to create complete turmoil in the
mind, making it an understandable first
reaction.
And remember—this can happen to
At the same time, if we allow our mind to anyone, even people who are generally
run wild and free with its imagination in a quite positive on the surface. However,
negative way, we are really not doing being a positive person doesn’t negate
ourselves any favors. This mentality of the fact that our unconscious brain can
“I’m not going to survive” just allows all get stuck in these negative downward
of that stress and anxiety to deplete the spirals and cycles. So this really has

which cascades into an even worse the natural inevitable consequence of
mindset that leads us into the vicious having a diagnosis.
cycle of negativity about our current
condition. So that’s why the first aspect of brain
retraining (mindset) is to lower fear and
unconscious reaction to the condition
and the diagnosis itself.

PA G E 05
2 | How we respond to stress.

The stress in relation to our

interpersonal relationships, our work,
and our life events. All of these factors
and how we react and respond to them
can also negatively impact and lower the
immune system, making it KEY to be
aware of the impact being made and
reducing that stress.

Let’s be honest, nobody will ever be able But it’s not about that.
to live completely stress-free. People
often have this unrealistic expectation It’s about effectively becoming more
that they’re going to be able to go resilient to the inevitable ups and downs
through some magical program to that life throws your way. Starting with
destress and end up living in complete relaxing the nervous system through
bliss through every moment and never breathing exercises, meditation, an anti-

exposure to sunlight, etc.

And then it’s implementing the mindset

aspect of retraining the brain. You need
to train your brain out of these habitual
stress responses that have become so
second nature in our life that we don’t
even recognize it’s happening anymore,
yet it is! And it’s creating stress.

Instead, it should be about reengaging

with joy.

PA G E 06
It seems that during trying times in our life, when we’re ill or have a condition
like cancer, we feel like we’re not allowed to be happy or experience joy—we
forget how to uplift ourselves. And it is vital to your well-being, during these
experiences, to truly connect with our inner joy and bring more laughter and
happiness into our lives. Which, by the way, directly boosts your immune
system and gets it laser focused.

So it’s not only the idea of ridding yourself of stress, it’s about uplifting
yourself emotionally as well, which has a powerful impact on the immune
system that encourages healing.

Sure, most medicine interventions enable our body to become more

effective at keeping well, but if we ourselves, through our mindset shifts, can
make our nervous system and immune system more effective and efficient,
then that means that we have paved the way for the best possible chance to
fight off illnesses.

This is the optimal healing state—if we can get our bodies tuned and refined,
the body will be its own best detoxifier, fighter of infection, and well-being
creator.

Again, in regard to the biggest fear—death—the issue is that if you’re holding

that negative energy, it becomes an attractor, it starts pulling you in that
negative direction. So being able to shift your body and mindset and retrain
your brain into living, having happiness, having laughter, then suddenly your
body feels a reason for being here and will program itself and create changes
internally to fulfill that outcome.

This happens to be something that is often overlooked in medicine—the

spiritual power of acceptance and surrender. And I’m not talking about a
religious belief but rather a belief in the power of love, this grandiose idea
that love is a powerful force in the universe, no matter your belief system.
The ability to accept what is happening for you right now.

PA G E 07
Of course, we are taught to fight cancer and illness. And in some ways, in that
sense, it means to have a strong resilient mindset. Because fighting in the
sense of resistance, fear, and anger is simply not going to help during this
battle. That’s where the deep acceptance of what is going on and
surrendering to what is going on, it’s the “I let go” moment. Trying to control
the outcome will take away your power. Being present in the moment is
something that you have control of here and it will increase your power and
you will become more cancer resistance. Cancer is a loss of identity.

And that’s essentially what we’re talking about here, a subtle shift in mindset.

It doesn’t mean that you are throwing the towel in or that you’re not wanting
to live. It means that you’re giving up to cancer, it’s accepting and then
focusing on a different outcome rather than focusing on the disease itself.

Acceptance means that while it’s not okay, you are! That’s the big difference.
It’s understanding that the cancer is already in your body. It’s allowing
yourself to say, “I accept that it is here and I’m not going to emotionally drain
myself with worry, fear and anger. Instead I will accept what is happening,
and my reserved energy can be used to boost my immune system and power
forward to fight this condition.”

Each time we become aware of our unconscious fear responses, the brain
retraining enables us to focus on positive outcomes. This is not an overnight
process, it’s repetition, commitment and self-love.

Think about it, as kids, we always resist brushing our teeth, right? But
eventually you do it and you know it’s good for you. You might not know why
it’s good for you, but you know it’s good. Eventually, it becomes a habit—it
becomes part of who you are—and then it has its long-term effects that you
don’t see right away.

In the same way, we’re shifting and training our brain away from processing
the situation from a sense of fear and dread to a state of acceptance, hope,
and a sense of positivity. “I’m going to do my best. I have no control over the
situation, but I will do my best.”

PA G E 08
 02
NUTRITION
Did you know that you can use food to battle cancer? It’s true. Far too often we
tend to think that in order to be able to beat cancer, we need to use these strong
pharmaceutical drugs—but what we don’t recognize is that 3 times a day we are
ingesting things that can either promote or fight cancer!

Here’s an interesting fact about cancer: Everybody has it. That’s because we, as
humans, are made up of upwards of 40 trillion cells. And not only do we have
these 40 trillion cells, they’re also dividing all the time.

And in case you are unfamiliar with cell division - it’s the reason why we are still
around tomorrow, because the cells of today kind of copy and paste themselves.
They’re copying the genetic equation of a cell, if you will.

And much like copying and pasting words in a document, it seems pretty cut and
dry, right? Well sure, if it was 10 words or 100 words we would likely have zero-to-
minimal mistakes…

But imagine if it were 40 trillion words—chances are, we are going to have some
issues, we’re going to make mistakes. And the same is true for the body when it
tries to copy 40 trillion cells, they can make mistakes, and these mistakes actually
cause a mutation.

And mutations are what causes cancer.

PA G E 09
Cancer is a cell stuck in survival mode.

Cells that are not adequately nourished try to

compensate until they reach a desperate point
where they are left to figure out another way to
survive. And nutrition is KEY to preventing this
process. The body depends on us to feed the
building blocks it comprises.

These building blocks come from natural,

unaltered food that is close to nature. So we’re
not just talking about supplying the body with
vitamins and minerals in supplement form but
also with complex nutrients that introduce
intelligence to the cells. The intellect that will
support the life force within you.

For instance, when we eat a carrot, we are not

only benefiting from the specific micro and
macronutrients it provides, we are also benefiting
from how these specific nutrients are structured
and connected.

The bonds between these nutrients and the way

they are structured contain energy and
intelligence which are released when we ingest
them. While we may look and feel physical, it’s
important to remember that we are genuinely
energetic beings. We consist mainly of space and
vibrational patterns.

PA G E 10
Physics has shown us that both matter and vibration
are the same. We not only supply the specific
building blocks for building healthy tissue, we also
introduce harmonizing frequencies. And the exciting
thing about fruits, vegetables, and berries is that they
contain a vast array of nutrients yet to be identified
and understood that are highly beneficial to your
overall well-being.

When it comes to cancer, there are also many diets

to choose from that can be substantially beneficial,
which can be very confusing to know which one
would be the most helpful for your specific type of
cancer. Making it essential to come with a mindset of
eliminating foods that are toxic and void of nutrients
will certainly take you far on your journey.

But here’s what you need to know—food can either

feed your cancer or support your body’s ability to
fight it.

So go ahead and clean out your pantry and

refrigerator, throw away all of the toxic, cancer-
causing foods, and replace them with vibrant, life-
giving food instead. Fresh, whole plant based foods,
fruits and vegetables with dietary fiber, berries, nuts,
seeds and legumes from every aspect of the
spectrum.

Remember: Each color has unique phytonutrients,

and we need them ALL for optimal health.

PA G E 11
 03
EXERCISE
Movement is LIFE.

To be blunt, the moment we stop moving, we start dying. The body is

designed in a very specific way in order to preserve resources and will
actually shut down the areas not being used.

In fact, many studies show that people who exercise and keep moving
increase their chance of beating cancer by more than 30%. That’s more
effective than any drug on the market!

When we move we continually cleanse the fluid around our cells, which
leads to the cells being bathed in a nutrient-rich, toxic-free fluid.

Much like the water of a stagnant pond versus a continually flowing

river; where there is stagnation, toxins begin to build up, pathogens
proliferate, and the nutritional resources are quickly used.

The same can be said for the body. And a cell living in that type of
environment simply cannot remain healthy.

PA G E 12
Exercise is not only physical
either, it also supports our
emotional and mental well-being,
and plays a critical role in our
ability to have a successful
outcome when battling cancer.

In fact, studies have shown that

neurochemicals are released as
we exercise, resulting in a happier,
more uplifting mood. Which as
you know by now, mindset and
outlook is very important during
your cancer journey.

So the key here is to do whatever you can to stay active and keep moving. If simply
walking to the bathroom is as far as you can walk, try to make an additional trip just
for the extra exercise.

All of this means that being happy supports and strengthens our immune system.
And as mentioned previously, everybody has cancer cells floating around our
bodies every single day, and it’s our immune system that is patrolling the body to
identify and eliminate them. So we seriously need to do the most we possibly can to
help keep our immune system functioning the way that it needs to…

And exercising stimulates the proliferation and activity of the various components
of the immune system.

So again, do the most you can to stay as active as possible. Make that extra trip to
the bathroom if that’s as far as you’re able to walk. Or if you can’t get to the
bathroom, keep trying to make it there a little bit differently next time.

PA G E 13
 04
ADDRESSING THE
ROOT CAUSES
Cancer does not appear without a cause.

In every cancer situation, there is always a driver that is initiating the

process. And in some cases there are multiple circumstances that are
pushing the body into a survival state and creating dysfunctional
genetic patterns.

In fact, cancer is only a symptom; you will only cover up the expression
of the symptom momentarily when you are focusing on tumor
reduction.

After the tumor is removed through surgery, radiation, or

chemotherapy, if the root causes are left unaddressed, the chances of
tumors appearing in other locations is extremely high.

PA G E 14
When it comes to addressing the root causes, it’s crucial to understand
that they all add up to a level where the body is incapable of
compensating any longer, resulting in cancer.

Imagine each and every factor being added to a bucket. The body is only
able to compensate until the bucket becomes so full that it begins to
overflow. But as you begin investigating what may be behind your
cancer, each factor that is addressed begins to reduce the level in the
bucket, eventually getting to the point where your body is able to re-
establish healthy patterns.

Potential Factors to Consider When Dealing With Cancer:

Toxin Buildup (such as heavy metals and chemicals)
Pathogens (mold, parasites, fungus, bacteria, and viruses)
Trauma
And nutritional deficiencies

These factors are also considered epigenetic factors.

Genetics also plays a minor role as genes can become turned on or off
depending on epigenetic factors.
 05
DETOXIFICATION
There is a reason that we have four pathways of elimination and just one way
for the introduction of food substances.

Detoxification is vital for the well-being of the body.

Our cells, which make up all of our tissues, simply cannot thrive in an
environment riddled with toxins. Much like a fish depends on quality water in
a fishbowl, the cells will die if the fluid surrounding them is harmful and
unable to sustain life.

Proper detoxification needs to consider that the pathways of elimination are

open, these pathways include the bowel, kidney, skin, and lungs.

There seems to be a bit of a gray area when we look at science and medicine,
often we tend to think that there’s a disease, so there is a treatment—there is
one cure. For example, with diabetes you just assume “I’ll be on insulin, so I’ll
be fine, right?” But it’s not really the case.

With cancer, in particular, there are multiple factors that should be

addressed. One of these is detox. It’s getting rid of everything inside of the
tumor cell that helped cause the tumor cell to begin with.

PA G E 16
We are bombarded by both emotional and
physical toxins every single day. Everywhere
from stress raising your Cortisol levels and
lowering your immune system to the harmful
toxins contaminating our water and
environment, and in our foods — things like
heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, and more.

All of these things are in the tumor, and they’re

altering the frequencies inside of the tumor as
well as altering the structured water in tumors.
Structured water is a hexagonal form of water,
it’s the purest form of water there is.

So these tumors are acting as these survival

mechanisms where we gather all the toxins and
pathogens, making clearing out these toxins
the key to dissolving tumors to keep that tumor
from fulfilling that role any longer.

And if you don’t get the heavy metals,

chemicals, pathogens, viruses, etc. out of those
tumors, they’re either going to come back—or
you’ll never be able to get rid of that tumor at
all. Which is why starting a detox before simply
trying to dissolve the tumor is the wisest thing
to do.

PA G E 17
Now, when it comes to a proper, safe detox, it
is essential to consider the toxins being
addressed in a detoxification program.

Think of it like the freeway in a metropolitan

area during rush hour and all exit ramps are
blocked off. The result = total gridlock.

This is how vital the eliminatory pathways are.

When they are open and flowing appropriately,
we can accelerate the liver’s ability to process
toxins, as well as lymphatic drainage and
intracellular detoxification.

Signs that the pathways are not open include:

Constipation
Eczema or other skin issues
Asthma or other respiratory concerns
And urine that is almost completely clear,
even when drinking only a modest amount
of water

Again, it is crucial to consider the toxins being

addressed in a detoxification program. If it is
something like lead or mercury, include the
appropriate binder and detoxification agent
that can handle these heavy metals. Whereas if
it is something like glyphosate, another
detoxifying agent would be more suitable.

PA G E 18
 06
INFLAMMATION
Cancer is an inflammatory disease.

And truthfully, no cancer can exist without inflammation occurring first.

Cancer and the surrounding stromal and inflammatory cells combine
efforts to create an inflammatory tumor environment.

Cancer-causing inflammation blocks the immune system's ability to kill

cancer and supports tumor-promoting signals.

PA G E 19
So what is inflammation?

Inflammation is an immune
response that happens when
something unwanted in the body is
detected. This can be a certain
food, pathogen, toxin, or even
emotion. Chronic inflammation in
any specific body area happens
because the inflammatory factor
persists, or the body simply does
not have the resources necessary to
heal the area thoroughly.

Here’s the thing, chronic inflammation has been linked to various steps in
tumor initiation, including cellular transformation, promotion, survival,
proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis.

In order to be truly successful after being diagnosed with cancer, you must
identify and eliminate inflammatory factors, while also incorporating anti-
inflammatory agents.

When you think about it, cancer can be considered a wound that never heals or,
in other words, a chronic inflammatory response that is left unaddressed.

But don’t lose hope, there are many tests that can help evaluate the level of
inflammation in the body and identify the triggers that are causing the immune
system to promote inflammation.

PA G E 20
 07
GUT HEALTH
Hippocrates said it best, “All disease begins in the gut.”

And it’s true - health and disease genuinely start in the gut.

In fact, 80 - 90% of your immune system exists along the gut and more than
30 different neurotransmitters are produced in the gut.

And because of the 100 million neurons in the gut, the gut is frequently
referred to as the “second brain”. However, it could be argued that the gut
should even be considered as the first brain, namely because 95% of our
body’s serotonin is produced in the gut. (Serotonin is known as our happy
neurochemical.)

Not to mention the direct connection between the gut and the brain through
the vagus nerve!

Additionally, more and more information continues to come out about the
incredible health benefits of beneficial bacteria supporting digestion and
overall absorption of essential nutrients. And there are hundreds of
beneficial bacteria residing in the gut, each with thousands of subspecies.

PA G E 21
Let’s face it, the complexity of the functionality of
our gut microbiome is absolutely astounding!

One of the most important functions of the gut is

breaking down food substances that are required
for proper cellular function, and when this
function is disturbed, the rest of the body suffers.

Food that doesn’t get properly digested in the gut

starts to ferment, creating disease-causing by-
products, endotoxins, which over time, will trigger
inflammation along the gut lining, and the result is
that it becomes leaky.

When this happens, it initiates a vicious cycle of

dysbiosis where poor digestion triggers
undigested food to irritate the intestinal lining,
causing inflammation and histamine release
which leads to gaps forming between the mucosal
cells of the gut lining.

As a result, the absorption of digested nutrients

becomes impaired, allowing larger, undigested
particles to pass through the gut lining and into
the bloodstream.

Then the immune system begins to react to these

food particles which leads to more inflammation
and histamine production.

PA G E 22
To top it off, these undigested food particles actually
nourish the harmful bacteria and yeast in the intestines,
and as a result, these disease-causing pathogens will
start to thrive and spread throughout the intestinal tract.
This overgrowth creates a barrier along the intestinal
lining, preventing appropriate absorption.

The metabolic toxins of these pathogens cause even

more inflammation along the gut lining which allows
even more food to pass into the bloodstream, and
ultimately causes even more stress on the immune
system.

Over time, the toxins released from these unfriendly gut

pathogens will overload the liver and reduce its ability
to detoxify chemicals and heavy metals that we are
exposed to on a daily basis.

So as you can see, the health of the gut is ground zero

for:
The well-being of our mind
Energy production within our cells
Availability of building materials to repair tissue
Control of inflammation throughout the entire body
Ability to detoxify successfully
The health and efficacy of our immune system

Therefore, while navigating through your cancer journey,

the gut should most certainly be a high priority.

And keep in mind that chemotherapy is known for

destroying the gut, thus impacting all of the areas
mentioned above.

PA G E #
 08
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Your immune system is your body’s army, continuously fighting off
pathogens and cancer, constantly surveying the body for abnormal cells—
and when it encounters them, it immediately goes into attack and destroy
mode.

It is a well-known fact that surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy will never

be able to get rid of cancer entirely… It is the immune system’s responsibility
to finish the elimination of any remaining cancer cells.

But herein lies the issue, chemotherapy is very detrimental to the immune
system. This puts an individual in an exceptionally vulnerable place, allowing
the remaining cancer to go unchecked due to a crippled immune system.
Another thing to consider is, surgery in itself is very immunosuppressive. This
can also enable the cancer to metastasize.

A leading Naturopathic Doctor, who has worked with cancer patients for over
three decades, mentioned that surgery actually increases the likelihood of
metastasis by 40%.

So, as you can see, it is absolutely essential to utilize immune boosting

strategies both pre-and post-surgery and throughout any type of
chemotherapy.

PA G E 24
 09
MITOCHONDRIA
Cancer is a metabolic disease.

Because it is a dysfunction of how energy is produced within the cell. At

the core of the cellular energy production is the mitochondria, the cell’s
energy factory, where fuels such as sugars, fats, and protein amino acids
are burned with oxygen in order to make energy.

The mitochondria not only control genetic repair, they also hold the cell
death switch.

Adults have upwards of 10 trillion mitochondria, comprising up to 10%

of body weight and generating the entire body weight of energy
molecules (ATP) daily.

PA G E 25
When a cell becomes too
dysfunctional, the cell death
switch is triggered and the cell
gets destroyed. However, a cancer
cell bypasses that mechanism by
alternately producing energy
through fermentation.

And this is a very inefficient way

to generate energy, it is a survival
mechanism being forced upon the
cell when the mitochondria
become dysfunctional and the
cell is hypoxic, lacking oxygen.

Although fermentation is an inefficient way to produce energy, the cancer cell itself
actually prefers its benefits.

This fermentation process generates chemicals, such as lactic acid, that support:
The growth of a tumor
Metastasis
Conversion of healthy cells to cancerous in the tumor’s microenvironment
And the development of blood vessels to support the nutritional need of cancer

Including strategies to activate the mitochondria becomes critical in eliminating

cancerous cells successfully as it will activate apoptosis, the death cell switch.

Shifting the energy production away from fermentation will reduce the production
of lactic acid…

Additionally, healthy functioning mitochondria will improve genetic repair and

reduce mutations that can drive the cell to become cancerous.

PA G E 26
 10
CANCER DRIVERS
The way that cancer is able to survive is dependent on certain cancer drivers,
oncogenes, which are necessary for supporting the function that allows
cancer to thrive. And there are multiple genes that actually function as cancer
drivers…

For instance, triple-negative breast cancer will have different drivers than
pancreatic cancer. This is because several genes have driver roles in two or
more cancer types.

The genetic mutation associated with most types of cancer is P53, followed
by KRAS and PTEN.

P53 is considered the guardian of the DNA because it assesses for DNA
damage and attempts to repair it, and when it is unable to repair it, it initiates
cell suicide.

The good news is, there are effective strategies to minimize the impact of
these cancer driver genes and reduce the level of cancer-causing mutations.

PA G E 27
Additional factors that need to be addressed are growth factors such as IGF1
along with the factors promoting the production of blood vessels to the
tumor, such as VEGF.

Because cancer is so very inefficient in using nutritional resources, shutting

down the drivers that are supporting the transport of nutrients to cancer,
such as VEGF, becomes an incredibly powerful strategy to starve and kill
cancer.

Other factors that are frequently upregulated in cancer include NFkB, cMYC
oncogene, Bcl-2, mTOR, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

As you evaluate what type of cancer and the associated cancer driver genes,
you can then begin to decipher which nutritional strategies should be
implemented to block the effect of these drivers.
 11
CANCER STEM CELLS
Cancer stem cells (CSCc) are a small subpopulation of self-renewing
malignant and oncogenic cells that drive tumor initiation and progression.
CSCs play pivotal roles in tumor initiation, progression, cell death resistance,
therapy resistance, and tumor recurrence following treatment and remission.

While traditional cancer strategies, such as chemo and radiation therapy, are
quite effective in shrinking tumors, they are actually very ineffective in
impacting cancer stem cells.

The cancer stem cells in tumors are not only therapy-resistant but can
actually be stimulated by chemo and radiation.

In fact, cancer may increase aggression following therapeutic intervention

due to this subpopulation of cancer stem cells with resistance properties,
which are subsequently capable of re-initiating the tumor, causing tumor
relapse.

PA G E 29
Cancer stem cells are able to move freely
around the body, and a cluster of a hundred
cancer stem cells are capable of forming a new
tumor in a new location. They are also capable
of renewing themselves.

Not only that but they are 100 times more

aggressive than normal cancer cells.

Thankfully, many natural agents show great

promise in modulating these cancer stem cells.
The key being to keep them silent while
clearing our abnormal cancer growth
throughout the body.

For example, suppose a person chooses to

undergo traditional cancer care. In that
particular case, it is important to include
natural therapies to reduce the activation of
the cancer stem cells to minimize the risk of
cancer becoming more aggressive after the
conclusion of cancer therapy.
