My name is Christine Ki and I am a naturopath who works in nutritional medicine and I do quite a lot of work with Dr Sandra Cabot. I have done a lot of research into mind body medicine over many years and yet I did not see this playing out in my own life until I was diagnosed with cancer of the skin in my upper right back above the shoulder blade (scapula) in late February 2007.

It was not just any old cancer – it was one of the worst types – malignant melanoma and it was grade 4. After the diagnosis I was in a state of shock and thought why me? I don’t smoke, drink or sunbake excessively. Then it hit me, I had just come out of a toxic relationship where I had been suppressed by fear. I consulted a surgeon who told me I needed to have a wide excision of the lesion and he wanted to remove the lymph nodes in my right armpit.

I decided to think about it and in the meantime I started to do raw juicing using many types of organic vegetables and I also began a supplement program of the following-

Livatone Plus 1 teaspoon daily, which I added into my vegetable juice
Selenomune Energy Capsules 1 tsp daily in juice.  This was excellent for giving me more energy and helping to strengthen my immune system.
Liquid fish oil 1 tablespoon daily. The omega 3 fats in fish oil are anti-inflammatory and this is very beneficial for the immune system.
Vitamin D  3000 units daily.  Most people do not have optimum levels of vitamin D in their bloodstream.
MSM Plus vitamin C powder 1 tsp daily.  The natural sulfur in MSM is excellent for improving liver detoxification.

I also meditated and prayed that my immune system would kill the cancer.
I decided to have the wide excision of the skin lesion in May of 2007 but I did not agree to have my lymph nodes removed, as I knew they were an important part of my immune system. Well maybe I was lucky or maybe the supplements and the juicing worked because the pathology testing of the tissue excised was completely free of melanoma; in other words I was proclaimed cancer free!  My surgeon was amazed with my results and I told him that I believed the juicing and supplements had saved my life; the surgeon agreed and said "ma'am, keep doing what you are doing".

Just to be sure, the surgeon ordered a total body PET scan and this was clear of cancer. A follow up PET scan 18 months later showed that I remained clear of cancer. I continue the raw juicing daily and the supplement program and I really believe this has saved my life. Today there are so many people diagnosed with cancer and this is not surprising as our environment has become so polluted with petrochemicals and heavy metals. If only people knew how to detoxify their bodies we could reverse this alarming trend.

The liver is the protector of our immune system and our liver needs to be in top shape to help our immune system in its task of protecting our cells from noxious chemicals. The liver has to detoxify our bodies of these chemicals and it needs help to do this. I urge you to take extra care of your liver in this toxic world today. Make sure you are not low in vitamin D and selenium as they are vital for a strong immune system. I also have witnessed the deleterious effects of stress upon my own immune system and I urge you to avoid prolonged and unnecessary stress.
