Cancer-Free-Story
82
Cancer Background
In September of 1995, my boss's wife was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors put her on chemotherapy; she died in April, 1996.
In June, 1996, my uncle was diagnosed with liver cancer and he died in August, 1996.
In June, 1996, my neighbor was diagnosed with cancer and doing chemotherapy. She died in August, 1996.
In September, 1996, my husband's best friend was diagnosed with cancer and was only given a few months to live. He was taking one herb and continued with chemotherapy. He died in December, 1996.
Cancer Research
Through all of these events, I prayed and searched for information on natural alternatives to cancer. I knew there had to be other choices. I knew if I were to ever have cancer, I would want to know what my options were, as well as all of the facts that go along with them. Just as important, I wanted to know what the survival rate was for each alternative.
Cancer Analyzed
In September, 1999, I began to experience severe abdominal pain. My family doctor checked my cancer blood level through a blood test called the CA-125 blood test and ordered a pelvic ultrasound. The normal cancer count for the CA-125 blood test is 0 to 35. My test results were 164, which were very high. My family doctor immediately sent me to an OBGYN.
In October, 1999, the OBGYN performed another pelvic ultra sound. She felt I needed a complete hysterectomy within the next two weeks. She made the statement, "Ovarian cancer is an ugly thing." I was faced with the very good possibility that I had ovarian cancer. Fortunately, I had done my homework and knew the alternatives. I had a wealth of information on how to slow down and/or even put the cancer into remission with nutrition.
I then scheduled an appointment with a second OBGYN but couldn't get the appointment until December, 1999.
At the same time I scheduled a second appointment for November, 1999 with a Medical Doctor who specialized in nutrition for a second opinion.
In November, 1999; when I went to the Nutritional Medical Doctor Specialist, he repeated the first test and performed a second research type test which he believed to be more accurate for detecting cancer. Unfortunately, the results again tested positive and He said I had cancer. He suggested working on building the immune system with nutrition first, then, if it was still necessary, to go ahead and have the hysterectomy.
In December, 1999 I went to the second OBGYN for a third opinion. This OBGYN concurred with the first OBGYN that I needed an immediate hysterectomy and possible chemotherapy. I expressed reluctance for having surgery and I had already gotten another opinion from a MD who specialized in nutrition. At this point in time the OBGYN expressed extreme concern for my life and said he would always be concerned about me.
DISCLAIMER: By law at this time a regular MD could not diagnose a person having cancer without having a biopsy. On the other hand the nutritional doctor was allowed to confirm that I had caner because it was considered research. The biopsy would consist of removing my ovary. After three opinions I was certain I had cancer and I did not want them cutting on me.
By this time I had already started to work on building my immune system through natural means instead of doing the traditional hysterectomy surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Through the monitoring and coaching of the Nutritional Medial Doctor, I used many of the products of the Company I represent to work on cleansing and nourishing my body as well as starving the cancer. I chose this Company's products because I liked the scientific research that goes into each and every product, the quality, purity, integrity, human testing only, and because I had proven to myself that this Company's products really work.
Cancer Gone
In September of 1999 my CA-125 was 164. In December, 2001, the CA-125 is 6.1. The blood work showed 100% cancer free.
In July, 2002, the pelvic ultra sound showed the ovarian cysts decreased in size to almost normal and the blood work again tested 100% cancer free! Based on these test results, my doctor felt there was no need for a hysterectomy so I did not have a hysterectomy. I did not have to go through hysterectomy surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.
Through prayer, diet, exercise, and nutrition my cancer was put into remission. It is currently April, 2009 and I am still cancer free.

Eddie Lee,
I am hoping my cancer story will be an inspiration and helpful to many. Thank you for supporting me through the cancer battle and for all your encouragement in getting my story published.
I Love You, Barbie Doll
I sure wish that my friend Barbie had been as fortunate as you. I am very happy for you and Eddie upon hearing about your story. It is so good that you put this story out there because you will never know when this will save a life. Thank you so very much! ~Dottie~
Barbie-Perkins,
Thanks for your personal story. I do believe in the right nutritiion. My mother was very much into nutrition. She was hospitalized once and that was for shingles. From the age of eighty onwards, she did not see any doctor until she died at the age of 88 years old. She would write in her beautiful writing verses from the Bible and also from Vitamins books, one of which is called Vitamin Bible by Earl Mindel. She even presented the same book to her daughter-in-law. Her daughters also each have the book.
I think it is a miracle that she did not see any doctor at all. Thank God for that. She was a smart lady and won a prize for submitting the name for a new toothpaste in the whole of Malaysia. She was also the first person in our family to become a Christian when she vowed she would become a Christian if God healed her first son who was diagnosed with diptheria. My grandmother was the first Christian in the family. She brought a number of Indian members to pray for my brother who was healed and she kept her promise and became a Christian followed by our family members. My brother was 11 months old at that time.
Praise and thank the Lord for His mercy on the family. Now our family has 5 generations of Christians. Praise and thank the Lord for His mercy and grace in choosing the family to be Christians.
Dottie,
It saddens me to hear your friend Barbie didn't do well. I'm so sorry Dottie.
It is so important to be informed of alternatives to health conditions. It is important to go to your doctor and get a diagnosis and to get other doctors opinions. That way a person can make an informed decision on what to do.
It just pierces my heart when I hear someone has cancer. I hope my story could help encourage someone to explore the alternatives so they would be able to make an informed decision that might save their life and/or give them a better quality life.
Thanks for sharing Dottie, ~ Barbie
Einron,
Thanks for reading my story. Your mother must have been very wise and informed in nutrition. She must have acted upon her wisdom and did everything she could to stay healthy and keep her family healthy. Earl Mindel’s Vitamin Bible Book must have been a great source of health information to your mom.
She was also very blessed of God. Not many people now days can stay out of the hospital for as many years as your mother did. You are truly blessed to be in a family of five generations of Christians. May your circle be unbroken.
I hope my story will encourage people to become informed on how to maintain their health and on finding alternatives for health concerns that come along.
Thank you Einron for sharing, ~ Barbie
Hi Barbie, This story has so many highs and lows and im so happy to hear you are free of this disease! I am personaly experincing some of the symptoms you mentioend and have had quite a lot of tests and has a CT scan dayb4 yesterday and i never even thought of it being cancer! it cannot happen to me! which i know we all say! I have bookmarked your website! it will be needed!
Keep Strong!

Hi Compu-smart,
Thanks for reading. I hope my cancer free story has been helpful. In 1997 my doctor told me I had ovarian cysts, but at that time he didn't seemed concerned.
All my life I have had excruciatingly painful menstrual cycles. I passed out several times from the pain. About a year prior to my having the CA-125 cancer blood test done, the pain of my monthly cycles became so bad that I would take 6 Tylenol, then a half hour later take another 6 Tylenol, and then a half hour after that I would take 6 more Tylenol and then I finally got some pain relief.
In the summer of 1999 I read an article where a woman was having severe abdominal pain. Her doctor had done some tests including a CA-125 blood test and found out she had ovarian cancer.
Because of the severe abdominal pain I was experiencing and knowing I had ovarian cysts, I decided it was time to make a Dr. appointment and have some tests done.
Please keep me informed of your test results. Eddie and I will keep you in prayer.
Thank you for sharing. ~ Barbie
Excellent Barbie. Attraction marketing at its best. I just had to click on your article link out of curiosity. I believe that was your MWR, was it not?
Reggie Auzenne
Barbie – thanks for sharing your story. I had hodgskyns disease back in the mid-70s. At that time I knew nothing about natural, herbal products so I had surgery and radiation therapy. I've been in remission ever since, but I know how powerful proper nutrition is.
Today I'm also with a company that sells great nutritional products and I can also attest to how much better I feel being on these products and also knowing that my body is getting the proper nutrition it needs every day.
Again thanks for sharing your experience.
David
Barbie,
Great hub! Health, wellness & nutrition is a passion with me also. We can do so much to keep ourselves healthy without prescription drugs which is just a way to manage illness and has little to do with wellness. Nutrition is so important. You are truly a part of the real health care industry and not the sickness management industry that medical professionals find themselves in. Thanks for sharing your personal story.
Sandy Kern
Hi Reggie,
Thanks for checking out my article. I'm not familiar with the term MWR. My husband Eddie is my guide and he's not familiar with MWR either.
Thanks for sharing, ~ Barbie
Hi David, - Thanks for reading my story. I am so happy for you to have put Hodgkin’s Disease in remission for 30 to 35 years. What a blessing! Keeping your immune system built with proper nutrition has been truly a blessing to your well being.
Thanks for sharing David. I hope your story will be of help to others also. ~ Barbie
Hi Sandy - Thanks for reading my story. Isn’t it wonderful to be able to share what nutrition has done for your health and then pass it on to others. Keeping people informed of alternatives to many prescription drugs is powerful. I’m so glad that there are some medical professionals that are using nutrition and wellness in their practices.
Thanks for sharing your health, wellness, and nutrition passion Sandy, and for your encouragement to me and to others. ~ Barbie
Barbie, you offer hope and inspiration as well as encouragement to other people to do their own research. I love that you taught yourself what the alternatives are before having the need for them.
I think when we are not desperate for answers they come in ways we can recognize them.
Theresa
Theresa, thank you for reading and commenting on my article. I agree, it is so much better to be informed beforehand. I’ve noticed that when people are taken by surprise by a health concern they usually go in the traditional direction, and I’ve seen many loved ones pass on, maybe way sooner than their time by lack of knowledge of alternatives.
Thanks for your encouragement Theresa, ~ Barbie
What an amazing story! I am a firm believer in natural medicine. Your story is another story to add to my collection to help others see the truth!
Thanks and God Bless!
Hi Embracing The Truth - Thank you for visiting and for your kind words of encouragement. I hope my story will be of help to many people to seek natural alternatives.
God Bless! ~ Barbie
Hi Barbie, What a role model and blessing you are, you did your homework and was full prepared and with the hands of God as well you are cancer free!!! It is amazing what he can do, if we all just listen and learn. God Bless!!
Barbie. Way to go! Keep fighting the good fight. You are blessed
Great story Barbie and great to see you beat this cancer. I have been there myself almost 5 years ago with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Cancer is not a good thing but the products we both used are the thing that really gave us the edge to fight back. We were both blessed!
Bob Andolina
Thankyou Barbie!, I have had a CT scan and am waiting for the results which will accompany my colonoscopy as i am and have severe stomach cramps and pains! which is not normal!..very hard to function and no rest-bite! I hate to whinge but its so relieving sometimes to write things down!:)
Thanks for and Eddie for your prayers as anything right now is helpful and ill let you know the results!
:)
Well, I can tell you, I read every word, Barbie. As a cancer survivor myself, I had tears of joy while reading. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow, especially when healing comes from Him simply through nutrition!! :) Love this Hub!
Terri
Thank you Barbie for the excellent Hub. I am so happy for you and thankful that you didn't give up. My father recently passed with cancer and as his was very far on we continued to try many things. But there was one in his stage that also helped and the was acupuncture. It kept him off the huge doses of morphine. This way he was able to communicate with us. That was special to us. The drugs given are just horrible. I feel that nutrition or lack of gets us into some of these problems and nutrition and faith will get us out.
Angela James
Hi AEvans, Thanks for visiting and commenting. I asked and did what I could do and God blessed. We truly have an awesome God!
May God Richly Bless you, ~ Barbie
Coffeesnob, Thanks for visiting and reading my story. Your kind words of encouragement are welcomed.
Blessings! ~ Barbie
Bob, Thanks for commenting and sharing your story about overcoming stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I praise God for leading both of us to the products we both needed and used to help build our immune systems to give us a fighting chance against cancer.
Thanks Bob. You are truly a blessing. ~ Barbie
Compu-smart,
Pain is real. It is almost impossible to function when in excruciating pain. I think it was about two or three months after totally changing my eating habits and taking large amounts of natural food supplements that my pain finally totally stopped. Keep in touch. Eddie and I are continuing to keep you in prayer.
God Bless! ~ Barbie
Terri,
Thanks for visiting and reading. Praise God Terri for your being cancer free also! Our God is an awesome God! He is always there. All we have to do is call upon the Name of the Lord. Thanks for your encouragement.
God Bless! ~ Barbie
Angela, Thanks for visiting and commenting. I am so glad you found a way to be able to communicate with your dad and keep him off high doses of morphine just before he passed on. What a blessing for those extra treasured memories and moments with him.
My 87 year old dad passed on Dec 28, 2006 of prostate cancer which had spread to the bone. I wasn’t aware of acupuncture to relieve that kind of pain. We were able to communicate with him up until the last three days when I had to give him the high doses of morphine. Nutrition and His faith in the Lord kept him around many years longer than we anticipated and we praise God for that extra time with dad.
Thanks Angela for sharing about your dad and for your encouragement. ~ Barbie
He does work miracles. I understand how you felt. A dear friend of the family was diagnosed with liver cancer and died 6 months later. 2 weeks after she was diagnosed my father was diagnosed with liver cancer and died 9 months later. 2 weeks before his death I was facing possibly thyroid cancer. It wasn't but it was scary. Three months later my husband was thought to have colon cancer - thankfully wrong. At the same time one grandmother was discovered to have stomach cancer and another with lymphoma. It always seems to hit at one time.
Thank you for a beautiful story of triumph.
RGraf, It seams like almost everyone I talk to has been affected by cancer in some way. Many of your loved ones certainly have been. I am so grateful God had prepared me for my cancer. What a Mighty God we serve!
Thank you RGraf for your comments and encouragement.
~ Barbie
Thanks Barbie. It is inspiration and uplifting.
Writer Rider, Hopefully my cancer free story will inspire many to seek out information on alternatives and be prepared ahead of time on how to deal with a future health concern.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. ~ Barbie
Hi again and thankyou Barbie,
It was hard to find my comments bcos of my change of avatar!
i have and live with severe pain for about 10 years now due to Ankylosing Spondylitis but this new pain is not just pain, its the worry that it could be something not associated with my A.S and the stress is killing me more than anything!
I have tried everything in the world thats been recommended to me from foods, medicines, alternative therapys and if i could have cured my problem with any one of these things then i would be rich! its a disease and it won long time ago although i did and have tried to fight it but i except and try to embrace it and thank the lord for this disease i have one,. I know there are many many other problems-illness-diseases i could have had!... my illness is not life threatening or contagious and is invisable!
I really poped by for some more prayers!:)
ps..spel checker was unavalable!:)
Hi Barbie,
I'm so glad you are sharing your story. I do believe that so many people would be alive today if they took an alternative course in their treatment. I know you hope, like I do, that people will begin to pay attention to the natural treatments we already have around us that can heal. You are such an inspiration!
Sincerely, Becky Joubert
Compu-Smart,
My heart goes out to you Compu-Smart. You are in our prayers.
Dear Heavenly Father, We place Compu-Smart in your loving arms to hold her tight, love her and let her know you are here for her. Please give her relief from the physical pain she is experiencing and please relieve her stress about the new pain she is experiencing and give her the grace to trust in you Lord with all her heart and lean not unto her own understanding and in all her ways acknowledge You and You shall direct her path. Encourage her to not give up the fight. In Jesus Precious Name we pray.
If you have an interest in asking for prayer on the Hub, My husband Eddie Perkins has started a new hub called Bible-Prayer. Keep in touch.
God Bless You Compu-Smart. ~ Barbie
Hi Becky,
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my cancer free story. My heart has ached as I have seen so many loved ones suffer and pass on with cancer and other health concerns. If they had previous knowledge of nutrition and other alternatives they may have chosen the natural way and may have had a better quality of life and may still be around today.
My desire is to inform people that they do have a choice about how to deal with their health challenges and that they can and need to take responsibility for their own health. There is Hope!
Thanks for your encouragement Becky, Barbie
Thnaks Barbie, I (he:) am very thankful!:)
Ill check out Eddies Bible-Prayer hub:)
Barbie,
I left a comment on the squidoo page also that you linked to in this article. I have been experiencing some personal trials within my own family and your article was an inspiration to me. Eddie has taught you well. Thank you for sharing your personal insight. I believe health and nutrition when done properly, can be life changing for many. I am so glad to hear you overcame your struggles. YOu and Eddie are incredible role models in showing how to overcome adversity and move forward in life. Thanks again.
Anita,
Thank you for commenting and visiting my hub on my cancer free story here and on squidoo. I hope it will be of help to you and your family. My desire is that my story may encourage someone to explore the alternatives in order to make an informed decision that might save their life and/or give them a better quality life.
Thank you Anita for your kind words of encouragement. ~ Barbie
Hi Barbie,
Two weeks ago I left you a comment about losing my friend Barbie and you extended your kindness in concern. I just want you to know, that same day I forwarded this link to both of my friend Barbie's daughters. Within the past 2 days I received very nice emails from them thanking me for this link. So Barbie, I thank you in turn. God Bless!
Dottie,
Thanks for forwarding my link to your friend Barbie’s daughters. My heart goes out to them. The loss of their mother must be so painful.
Thanks for sharing Barbie’s daughters responses with me. I hope my story has been helpful to them. Dottie, you are truly a blessing!
Thank you ~ Barbie
It's great to see someone overcome the deadly, yes, Prayers can do wonders, but before that the most important thing is you got to believe that you will certainly come out of the disease, you had the strong will and decided to give a fight you won the race, God is always there for those who jump into action rather than simply pray. Eddie and you both are so great Barbie, i feel blessed to read your hubs.
Shower your blessings, because i believe you both are blessed for others especially Compusmart and barbies daughters. I wish you good luck Compusmart and God bless Barbie's daughters.
What a powerful and personal Hub. Thanks for writing this and sharing such detail. Cancer is a monster, although some things can be gained from the battle, and I hope I can learn a lot from what you've gone through. Good for you and Eddie!
Eswar,
The cancer battle was intense. I knew I would have a better chance of survival and a better quality of life using quality nutrition instead of going along with the traditional treatment.
I was truly blessed to have God and Eddie holding my hand and walking with me through it. I hope others will be inspired to look into alternatives before a health challenge comes along.
Thanks for your kind comments and words of encouragement. . God Bless! ~ Barbie
Glassvisage,
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my hub. I have held back on sharing my cancer free story for years for one reason or another. Eddie encouraged me and helped me to post my cancer free story to this hub.
Cancer is a monster and monsters can be battled and even put down with prayer, seeking and finding knowledge and using the available tools. I would hope to inspire others to check out nutritional alternatives and be prepared before the monster or other health challenges appear.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. God Bless! ~ Barbie
Great testimony, I admire your bravery. It is one thing to have faith that something will work for someone, its another thing altogether when that someone becomes you. To see the truth through all the lies, is a blessing. I myself have never faced cancer, but have lost several loved ones to it. My losses have lead me to seek the truth as well. The fact that there are more people making a living researching cures for cancer, than there are dying from it says to me that "medical science" has no intent of finding or supporting a cure. Could you imagine how much money would be lost if a cure got out. This to me says a lot about why real cures are not supported by the FDA and such. But It warms my heart to know that your story was one of victory. Isn't YAHWEH great!!! He shines a light on all darkness, and revealsthe truth to those who seek it. You are truly blessed, and a blessing to others. Buy the way, in your studies, did you find any truth to vitamin b17 found in apricot seeds and other places being very beneficial inbeating cancer. I highly recommend the book WORLD WITHOUT CANCER The Story Of Vitamin B17 by G. Edward Griffin.
Hi Jesus Saves!
Wow! Jesus Saves is near and dear to my heart!
Thanks for visiting and your kind words. Years ago I had a pre cancerous irregular shaped mole that reduced from the size of a quarter to the size of a dime after I changed my eathing habits for the better and started taking natural food supplements.
After that experience, God gave me a passion for helping myself and others have better health through good nutrition. When I found out I had cancer, I knew cancer could be slowed down and even put into remission through good nutriton. The Lord held my hand through the whole journey. This was in 1999 and now in 2009 I am still cancer free.
I think Dr. Francisco Contreras M.D. of Oasis of Hope Hospital In Tiajuana, Mexico, used B Latreal for his cancer patients many years ago. Dr. Contreras begins his program by praying for and with his patients, and he teaches them how to change their eating habits, and exercise ect. I think B Latreal is from apricot seeds.
I praise God for giving us so many natural ways to slow down and even reverse cancer.
God Bless you and your family. ~ Barbie
It's good to hear that you are cancer free now. Maybe you still have a purpose in this earth that's why God has given you another chance. Just stay healthy.
Ladyvenus,
Thank you for commenting and your kind words. God is Good all the time. Our Heavenly Father has given me a purpose and a passion to help others and I'll hang in there as long as it suites His purpose.
Thank you ladyvenus. May God richly bless you!

I am so proud of you.
This is the first article you’ve done 100% by yourself.
Your real passion is coming through now and I know that you will have more valuable information to share in your next articles.
