My Story

I am brand new and have loved reading other's blogs but have never created my own. A lot of my friends have encouraged me to start one and so here I am. Funny thing-I only have a few minutes to write at this time and will add more as I go along. 

This blog will be my life story and how I have survived cancer, other surgeries and completely reversed Type II Diabetes and got off insulin in 10 days! Yes, after coming home from the hospital with Blood Sugar nearing 700, they put me on Metformin twice a day and Levimer insulin 4 times a day. I said "No way am I going to do that to my body" so I decided to try eliminating certain foods, learning more about nutrition, health and wellness and how to reverse disease. 

I was so successful, my doctor refers some of his patients to me as a source of information, encouragement and guidance. I am humbled by this and try very hard to help anyone who is interested in learning how I did it and how I have stayed off OTC and Pres. medicine for over 5 years!

I will share meal ideas, snacks, recipes, pictures and other helps as we go on this journey together. Welcome to my blog and share with others so they can find me and we can travel on this journey together!

Did you know that there are a lot of foods that are highly acidic and cause over 100 diseases? I was eating all of them and enjoyed the taste and preparation every day. But I wasn't aware that I was slowly killing my body, one cell at a time. I was also making my filtering organs very sluggish and sick day by day. 

I think the first time I realized this was when it took me 7 years to get pregnant with our second child. But I did not know what I do now and would not have changed my behavior because I was young and in denial. I got pregnant with our first child the next month after stopping birth control and we were so happy. He came within 3 hours after labor began and I only had hard labor for about 30 minutes. He weighed 9 lb. 9 oz. and was healthy-but he should not have weighed that much! I wish I had known to not gain as much weight-50 pounds- and eaten less carbohydrates the 3rd trimester. But he is 48 now and a joy to us!

I had Endometriosis and difficulty getting pregnant for another baby. I also had a tipped uterus and that made it even more difficult. But miracles do happen and with much prayer we had a baby girl 7 years later in 1974! She came in less than 3 hours also and weighed 9 lbs 7oz. She is now 41 and the mother of our 7 grand children, soon to be 8! 

I had to have a hysterectomy in 1988 and didn't know there were alternatives to this drastic choice. I also took Premarin, at the advice of my doctor and in 1996 discovered I had breast cancer! What a coincidence! I share with everyone, do not take synthetic drugs if at all possible. They have side effects and can be avoided many times. I refused all drugs after 6 treatments of chemo and I am a 20 year survivor!

Please educate yourself when a problem arises. There are alternatives with nutrition, exercise, weight loss and essential oils. I prefer the certified pure ones and will give my email if you have questions.

Let me share a chart I like that will begin to educate you about food. 


When I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes I was in the hospital with blood sugar rising close to 700! I could have been in a coma and died. I was thirsty and had cotton mouth, was sleeping a lot and drinking water every 30 minutes. 

I was eating the foods brought to me and noticing they were not healthy and low carbohydrates. I asked my doctor to let me order my own food. That is when my BS began coming down to the upper 200's. I said no canned fruit, no bread, pasta, potatoes or rice. No juice or diet foods. Just grilled chicken or fish, steamed vegetables and a fresh, raw salad with a lot of greens. Raw fruit and water-no coffee or tea. I got to go home on the 5th day. But he had me on Metformin, 500mg twice a day and insulin, Levimer 4 times a day. I began by completely eliminating these foods from my daily habits.

Red meat
White foods-pasta, rice, bread and potatoes, flour, processed foods, etc.
SUGAR of any kind
Sodas and never diet soda
Coffee and tea with caffeine and acid

In 10 days my BS was between 75-120 every time I tested, which was 4 times a day! I was off insulin, never to need it again and that has been 5 years! I also lost 85 pounds in less than 9 months and weaned myself off Metformin in 1 year! I am not on any medication for Diabetes and got off 7 other Pres. drugs within 1 year. At present time, I only take a small Blood Pressure medication and I am working at getting off of that also!
