55-year-old former model battles breast cancer with diet changes; refuses chemo and surgery
(NaturalNews) The story of former model Jessica Richards' battle with
cancer is a remarkable one, especially because it has defected from the
use of conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.
In her book
The Topic of Cancer, Richards explains how following
a strict metabolic diet and receiving high-dose intravenous injections
of vitamin C has helped successfully reverse the progression of her
breast cancer, to the shock of many conventional doctors.
It is a
story you will likely never hear from the mainstream media, at least
not from the perspective of being taken seriously, and yet it is one
that people desperately need to hear. Rather than follow in the
footsteps of the millions of others who have lost their lives as a
result of all the cutting, burning, and poisoning, Richards made the
personal, informed decision to naturally fight breast cancer by feeding
her body a plethora of cancer-fighting nutrients, and cutting out a host
of cancer-causing foods and substances.
After learning that she
had an unusually large tumor in one of her breasts, Richards was told by
her doctors that she would need to begin an aggressive treatment
protocol that involved removing the breast, having it reconstructed, and
undergoing an intense series of radiation and hormone treatments to
keep it at bay. Knowing a bit about the toll this would take on her
body, Richards decided to take a different route.
"The cancer
consultant who'd done my ultrasound scans said my tumor was so large I'd
need accelerated chemotherapy for several months," writes Richards
about her initial diagnosis. "He said I would almost certainly need a
mastectomy or at least a large lumpectomy with significant
reconstruction, my lymph nodes removed, radiotherapy and five years of
hormone-altering drugs after that."
After researching alternative options, Richards decided to eliminate all dairy and sugar from her
diet,
including most fruits, and instead eat lots of vegetables and take high
doses of vitamin C intravenously. After just three weeks of starting
this regimen, which many said she was crazy to undertake at the expense
of conventional treatments, scans showed that Richards' tumor had
essentially "gone to sleep," and was in the process of regressing.
Almost immediately after beginning the protocol, in fact, Richards began
to see drastic improvements.
"I switched from a generally
healthy diet to a metabolic one, focusing on alkaline over acid foods
and cutting out all sugars," adds Richards. "I also cut out all grains
and most fruit, which are broken down into sugars. Instead, I
concentrated on leafy green vegetables, short grain rice, quinoa and
linseeds, and cut out all dairy, which is pumped with artificial
hormones. I also had regular high-dose infusions of vitamin C, a natural
form of chemotherapy."
With the help of alternative cancer specialists, Richards has all but completely cured her cancerAfter
several months of adhering to her strict diet, which she admits has not
always been easy, Richards was told by her consultant radiologist that
her tumor was effectively breaking down in the same way as it would with
intensive chemotherapy, except without all the organ damage and other
deadly side effects. A little over a year after first being diagnosed
with cancer, Richards was able to stop her intravenous vitamin C
injections -- and not long after that was told that she was completely
healthy, and would not have to return for a checkup for another year.
Today,
Richards is healthier than ever, and has never once had to be blasted
with radiation, poisoned with chemicals, or had a knife cut her skin.
