Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Yes to Life gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

For those that don’t know me that well or are not familiar with the situation I feel I should explain a bit of my history that has led me to this point.

It started in 98’out of the blue I suddenly lost my balance and was extremely unwell. After 3 months of seeing my wonderful GP!!!??! I was diagnosed with a brain tumour I was 23 feeling ruff and didn’t really understand the seriousness of the situation so had brain surgery to remove the tumour and 6 weeks of intensive radiotherapy it took a good year to recover from the treatment but I reacted well and was on the road with a new lease of life I felt GREAT!.

Nine years later 2007, 3 days before I was about to get married, I decided to move my appointment forward as I had a slight pain in my neck which I was sure was because of a bad cough.. The appointment was all good and my consultant offered me a scan for peace of mind! My scan unbelievably got mixed up and was told I was fine, so went on my way to be bought back to hear I had only a little time left to live, as I had an aggressive reoccurring tumour in the same area. Because this had not spread to my spine they offered me hope and gave me more brain surgery to remove most of the tumour.

I felt really ill from this and felt I had gone from feeling great to awful because of the surgery. I couldn’t walk and had to be wheeled around. I was eventually taken to a nicer hospital and had intensive chemotherapy 3 times and was in hospital for another 2-3 months. I also had radiotherapy again and was able to recover at home but needed constant care.

Over that year I recovered quickly got married and went on honeymoon and felt good!! I had routine check ups every 3 months and routine scans every 6 months all was going well.

I had lost some hearing in both ears 1 more than the other and had lost all my strength due to the chemotherapy and felt like it had killed every good thing in my body.

On the second scan a year later I was told that they had found 3-4 lesions in my head within the same area that were cancerous and I had from 2 months to 2 years to live and that there was nothing they could offer me through the NHS other than more chemotherapy in a pill form that would sustain my life but not cure me.

 

I was devastated and didn’t know what to do or where to go after hearing I had such little time left.

I eventually found the strength and positivity to look past the medical world that offered me no hope and started reading and researching everywhere and every possibility.

I started doing so many natural healings, yoga, gym, reiki, having lots of minerals, vitamins and changing my diet GREENS, GREENS, GREENS!!!!!! Raw might I add!!!!  

Through reading, healers and research I found a natural therapy called B17 Metabolic therapy. B17 is found in apricot kernels and the treatment involves having high doses of intravenous Vitamin C everyday for 21 days from 25g – 75g along side lots of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, specific diet, 40 apricot kernels, B17, special oils & teas, dodgy things like coffee enemas!! Don’t even ask!!! and lots more everyday.

To explain it as simple as I can cancerous cells have a barrier around the cell, the enzymes I am taking break this barrier down so the B17 can attack the cancer cell.

B17 contains cyanide which only attacks cancerous cells and does not attack healthy cells the vitamin c also does this and also oxygenates the body. Cancer can not live in an oxygenated body. At the same time I am putting good nutrients in to my body and doing other strategies to release the bad toxins.

This is not something we have just stumbled over we have read so much and have really thought about this. My belief and positivity is so strong and know this is the way to go!!! I can’t thank you enough with anything you may decide to help with I am for ever indebted to you.
