Chemo Didn't Work for Her, But Nutrition Helped Her Overcome Cancer

There is no way to sugarcoat this; being diagnosed with some types of cancer can feel like a death sentence. This is especially true when cancers are discovered at the latter development stages.

Evita Ramparte went in for a checkup because she was feeling pain constantly. Instead, she was diagnosed with a serious case of ovarian cancer. Can you imagine her fear as her doctors suggested the terrible cures they had in store for her?

As you may have already guessed, her suggested treatments were that terrifying triple threat of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and invasive surgery to remove the tumors.

Faced with cures that could be far worse than the actual disease, Evita gauged her options and opted to try a natural treatment focusing on making healthy changes to her diet and lifestyle.

Before you think Evita made a misinformed choice, you need to be aware how truly dangerous these types of cancer treatments can be. And remember, these treatments are not guaranteed to cure cancer; you’ll always have the threat of recurrence looming over your shoulder.

Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery are serious health hazards. Here’s why:

Chemotherapy Health Risks

This is the most common form of treatment given in the US. However, because the chemicals cannot distinguish healthy cells from cancerous cells, it is indiscriminate in the damage it causes to your body. It will kill everything.

Common side effects of chemotherapy are hair loss, nausea, frequent vomiting, and constipation.

Due to its high toxicity levels, chemotherapy also causes long-term damage in the shape of infertility for both genders, nerve damage, and even an increased risk for developing heart disease.

Danger of Radiation Therapy

This treatment is almost as horrifying as chemotherapy; it can cause nausea, hair loss, loss of libido, sore mouth, chronic coughing, and prolonged shortness of breath. Just like chemotherapy, radiation therapy is completely indiscriminate when it comes to destroying cells.

It will destroy everything and in some rare cases, it might even cause a secondary form to appear as it destroys the first.

Surgery

Although it’s practiced by the well trained hands of surgeon who can distinguish healthy cells from cancerous, surgeries to remove cancer can either be relatively safe (imagine a cancerous mole) or very intrusive (like extracting breast cancer).

If it’s treating something invasive, side effects can include long lasting pain as your recover, higher risks of infections, and even organ function loss.

Seeing these horrifying risks certainly shines another light on Evita’s choice, right?

How did she treat her cancer?

Evita decided to focus her treatment on improving her overall nutrition and drastically changing her lifestyle to try to cure her cancer naturally.

She consulted an alternative health professional to design a juicing diet to boost her immune system. Her diet was based on the Gerson juicing treatment that has been known to help cure cancers.

The other key aspect of her story is that she paired this drastic change in her diet with an active lifestyle (as much her health permitted).

By taking her health in her own hands and committing herself to make the necessary actions, she was able to beat her ovarian cancer.

I must clarify that cancer treatments vary from person to person. It’s up to the patient herself to determine what is the best course of action and what can be tolerated in the name of treatment.
