I Used to Have Cancer: How I Found My Own Way Back to Health

I Used To Have Cancer.jpeg

By all standards of success, James Templeton seemed to have it all. He was a highly successful businessman, had a beautiful wife and daughter, and, only in his early 30s, had his whole life in front of him. To avoid the same fate as his father and grandfather, who both died of heart attacks at a young age, James became an avid runner - a passion that he believed helped him stay fit and healthy. 

Imagine his shock when, during a routine physical, his doctor noticed a mole on his body that turned out to be a melanoma - a dangerous form of skin cancer. The mole was removed immediately and James, who was diligent in his follow-up exams, appeared to be cancer-free - but only for a short while. 

When the cancer reappeared and had spread, on the advice of his doctor, James followed the conventional medical protocol, which included surgery and chemotherapy. He was also involved in a clinical trial. When he learned that the treatments weren't working, James was obviously devastated. He had reached a new low point in his life, and as he lay in the hospital bed, he prayed fervently for help. As if by some miracle, help came to James in the form of three different visitors who would change the course of his life - and help direct him on a path back to health.

10 Things I Do Every Day To Stay Cancer Free

It’s been more than 30 years now since I received that devastating diagnosis of Stage IV Melanoma Cancer - and fought my way naturally to a clean bill of health. Being cancer-free for more than 3 decades, the first question I’m often asked is, “What do you do to keep the cancer from coming back?”

Even after you fight that initial fight for your life and find exactly what your body needs to overcome the cancer, you’re not off the hook. You may be out of the woods but you still have to stay on top of your game. I believe that once you overcome cancer, you can pretty much do anything you set your mind to, and the good news is it’s much less complicated – and less stressful – to maintain your health and stay cancer-free for the long haul.

Cancer statistics show a third of all cancers are preventable, but I honestly believe that number is much higher. When you take into account all you’re being bombarded with in your food, water, and air, it’s easy to see how your immune system can get bogged down and let cancer cells grow unchecked. But when you remove as much of that burden as you can and nourish your body, it’s like fixing the plumbing leak that’s flooding the house and it goes a long way toward a healthy, cancer-proof body.

Being diagnosed with cancer changes your life, whether you want it to or not. And it’s never just a “one and done” situation. Even if you had an isolated tumor and surgery got it all, you still need to address the root causes that allowed the cancer to develop in the first place.

You can’t go back to the lifestyle that made you vulnerable to the cancer from the get go. No matter how you choose to heal from your cancer, you need to have a game plan for how to live the rest of your life. And that’s why I wrote this for you.
