ACTION for Healing


SisterGoddess Jessica and ME

I met this woman a few months ago at a women's circle.  

She sat there with a baby in her arms and her mother by her side.  Her magnetism (high enerchi) and big eyes radiated peace.  As she shared her story, I felt something inside me breaking and softening.  I was so intrigued by this young woman - a SisterGoddess who is healing herself holistically from breast cancer.  

At the end of our meeting, I went right over to her and made her baby smile and laugh.  I met this brave and courageous soul and her Mom and invited them to join me for Laughter Yoga.  I was so OMazed by her strength of spirit.  She shared her yummy delicious kelp noodle salad with me.  She had my heart forever.


And then she came to Thursday night Laughter Yoga.  She brought her two boys (ages 4 and 9) and an 8 month GIRL (Goddess In Real Life) Mia - she brought her family to laugh.  As we gibberished, GIRL Mia listened - understanding and marveling that we were talking her language.  And when we raised our immune systems with our finger dancing, her fingers were dancing too.   I am so inspired by SisterGoddess Jessica, as a woman, a mother, and a human bean -that I needed to share her with my HAHA community and help her in any way we can.

This is her story:  This Aquarius Goddess who just turned 36, was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, 2011.   At the time she was working two jobs and a Mom of two young boys, her health was deteriorating rapidly.  With no health insurance and confirmation a week before that she was pregnant, life got very hectic for SisterGoddess Jessica.   

The lump started growing and became painful.  Her husband got a new job with health insurance and her first ultrasound showed 3 masses in her breast.  A needle biopsy confirmed she was Stage 4. 

Scared and unsure, with doctors advising chemotherapy and radical masectomy (removal of whole breast and lymph nodes), this Goddess did the only thing she could do - think of the baby growing inside of her and look for another way to deal with what life handed her.

She was already a vegan and aware of raw foods.  She turned to her family and they pitched in to help.  A tour of the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach gave her a wave of peace and knowing and she canceled her breast surgery. She stayed at Hippocrates for 3 weeks - making OMazing friendships with women, meditating, attending group therapy to remind her of the self love she needed and how to make herself a priority again.   She also learned to grow her own sprouts and wheatgrass.

As her diet changed, she lost weight and the inflammation in her breast went away.  The last ultrasound before the birth of the baby showed that the lump was shifting and turning - the tumor was at 5 cm.

Due to her raw food diet, she gained no weight during her pregnancy.  Right at the end, for the baby, she added some cooked foods and gained a little weight.  She had a successful home birth and Mia was born completely healthy.

1 month after baby Mia was born, another ultrasound showed that the tumor in her breast and lymph nodes had changed shape and reduced in size.  
SisterGoddess Jessica has not succumbed to the pressures of our society for conventional treatment of her breast cancer.  She cannot as she is still breastfeeding Mia.

So she researches and tries new methods - a blood and urine analysis for cancer profile, laughter yoga, more raw foods.

She is about to stop breastfeeding and do more to obliterate this cancer from her life.  She is ready to share what has worked for her and what research and remedies she has found to date.

She needs help to do so. - help to continue treatment, help to take some time off and write and rest and relax so she can best take care of her beautiful family.

I call you to ACT this week and help SisterGoddess Jessica.  You can do so by clicking HERE and helping in any way you can so this remarkable woman can heal herself and help other women find alternative ways to deal with breast cancer.
