Veronica's Story
Written and submitted by Veronica Ivonne.
I refused chemotherapy after I was told I had less than two weeks to live. I was told chemotherapy would only give me an additional two years of life. I said "No thank you." Instead, I went on the Hippocrates Diet. My cancer cleared within a year, and I've been cancer-free since 2012.
In 2011, I went to the emergency room because my bladder was blocked. There I learned the reason - I had a large tumor the size of a cantaloupe! After clearing my bladder, the doctors did several tests. They told me I had uterine cancer, needed a hysterectomy and chemotherapy. However, I was also told that a hysterectomy and chemotherapy would only extend my life by 1-2 years, and I would also need to take hormones. I told the doctors that they could remove only part of my tumor without touching any of my organs, including my uterus. They responded that I was crazy. They shook their heads and frowned. They called in a psychiatrist to evaluate me. I passed the evaluation. Then they called in another psychiatrist, and I passed the second evaluation. I told the doctors I would sue if I left the hospital without any of my organs. They wanted me to sign forms, but I refused to sign anything. I gave them verbal permission to remove only PART of my tumor and nothing else, which they did.
After I left the hospital I went to the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida for two months. There I followed the Hippocrates Diet, drank 16 oz. of green juice 6-8x per day and did water and wheatgrass enemas. When I returned to New York City two months later, I went to see an oncologist and gynecologist. They told me that my cancer was almost cleared. I continued following the Hippocrates regimen. When I returned to the oncologist five months after being diagnosed with uterine cancer, I was told my cancer was cleared and there was NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE!
In order to cure my cancer, I had to stop eating meat, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt and all other forms of animal fat/protein.
My current diet remains:
50% raw fruits
50% raw veggies (roots and leafy greens)
I eat cooked food only occasionally in the winter.
I do NOT eat anything from a can, bottle, or box.
The key to ridding my cancer and staying healthy was being on a 100% raw plant diet. In 2016 I started eating organic meat. After a few months back on meat, I could tell something didn't feel right, so I stopped.
Five years after I healed, I also started following Dr. Robert Morse videos on YouTube, which I have found extremely informational and helpful for my overall health and well-being. I recommend these videos to anyone who reads my story.
