My mother's cancer, twice — and the decision that changed our family.
When Josh was a teenager his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through conventional treatment and survived — but the treatment left her depleted, and for the next ten years she battled serious health problems, including chronic fatigue, depression and a weakened immune system.
Then, twelve years after her first diagnosis, the cancer came back. In 2006, during the final year of his medical training in functional medicine and chiropractic care, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and given a 40% chance to live. This time she made a different decision: she forwent conventional treatment and went all-natural — a protocol built on nutrient-dense foods, vegetable juicing, herbs, and prayer. Within months her scans showed the tumors shrinking, and she went on to be declared cancer-free — living with more energy and joy than she had known in decades. Watching her transformation set the course of his life.
