I liked the book so much I interviewed Jacquie on the blog.<\/p>\n
If you are interesting in how to avoid getting cancer and\/or how to treat it, you\u2019ll want to read this interview, share it with your friends, and get the book.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n
What provoked you to write the book?<\/strong><\/p>\n When I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, I needed this book desperately. Available literature was piecemeal, and I had no time to chase down rabbit trails\u2014I needed solid consensus factually (science) and truthfully (God\u2019s Word).<\/p>\n Doctors admitted they had nothing for me.\u00a0 A physician friend told me \u201cIf you get through this, you will have to be your own doctor.\u201d\u00a0 My faith had been latent for many years.\u00a0 There was much to learn and time was of the essence.\u00a0 My story illustrates the blessing of \u201cseek and you shall find.\u201d<\/p>\n This book shares what I learned and weaves together science, Scripture and my own interactive miracle.\u00a0 Soon, I found myself praying I might live and become an encourager to others being bullied by cancer. Once my scans consistently read, \u201cNo evidence of recurrent or residual disease,\u201d\u00a0 I began a simple blog, which surprised me by reaching many thousands worldwide.\u00a0 Thus, I realized there was value in organizing the information to share in book form. God nudged me to write the book for quite a while before I obeyed.\u00a0 Once I began writing, it flowed with almost daily \u201cdownloads\u201d and good people seemed to \u201chappen\u201d into my life at just the right time for editing, formatting, and encouraging.<\/p>\n It\u2019s really not my book, but I\u2019m blessed beyond measure through writing it down, and I pray it is an encouraging instrument for a growing \u201cBody of Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n Why are so many more people today having cancer than 50 years ago?<\/strong><\/p>\n I could mention increased toxins in environment and food or the stressful pace of modern society; however, I believe there is something more insidious to consider and it is two-fold\u2013fear and lack of knowledge:<\/p>\n Fear:\u00a0\u00a0 Job said, \u201cFor the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me, and that of which I am afraid befalls me.\u00a0 Job was describing the natural \u201cLaw of Attraction.\u201d Quantum mechanics teaches the same lesson explaining that energy flows where we pay attention and what we intend creates the end result.\u00a0 Statistics tell us that fear of cancer is pervasive and intensive worldwide. \u00a0I personally believe that \u201ccancer awareness\u201d publicity campaigns rather than \u201chealth awareness\u201d initiatives focus a staggering amount of energy on fear-fueled issues. Believers know the enemy of our souls craves attention and color-coded \u201cbranding\u201d of his work feeds his craving. Fear separates us from God. I wrote this book to undermine fear of cancer.<\/p>\n Lack of Knowledge<\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Isaiah and Hosea point to God\u2019s people going into captivity or perishing \u201cfor lack of knowledge.\u201d I was forced to do a lot of research.\u00a0 However, the knowledge that unfolded to me would have meant little had not the Lord woven \u201cscience\u201d (facts) together with His Word (truth). \u00a0\u00a0I learned that neither cancer (indeed disease) nor healing is a random occurrence, which is the first layer of powerful knowledge. The book unpeels other critical layers.<\/p>\n How did God heal you of cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n My healing has been an adventure with God leading the way, and any believer can have such a personal journey. Mine began with a \u201cfoxhole prayer\u201d during a CT scan and it will never end because, ultimately, the substance of healing is falling in love with the Healer, Christ, at every level of our being. \u00a0My lack of medical options helped me escape the trap of a hurried, fear-based \u201ctreatment decision\u201d so commonly followed by a desperate prayer list scramble hoping to convince God to make our decision work.<\/p>\n As rusty as my faith was, monologue prayer quickly became dialogue, and He provided me a \u201cconnect the dots\u201d interactive healing miracle with body, soul, and spirit \u201cdots.\u201d<\/p>\n I was led to declare with certainty that \u201cI would learn how to make my body a place cancer could not live, period!\u201d\u00a0 Along the way, I came to understand that health is part of God\u2019s identity. He moves through the matter He\u2019s created such as air, water and food, as well as through the rhythms of life (sleeping, breathing, laughing, working, etc.). \u00a0As I developed a voracious appetite for God\u2019s Word, I learned that vibrant health is untold energy.\u00a0 It\u2019s like the \u201csword of the Spirit\u201d which pierces through our body and soul into our spirit (His Spirit) allowing it to leak God\u2019s own energy back into our souls.<\/p>\n The tipping point of my healing was ridding my soul of bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness. \u00a0Learning to \u201ctake every thought captive to the obedience of Christ\u201d was divine chemotherapy because the connection of body and soul (mind, will, emotions) is, in fact, biochemical.<\/p>\n What are the most important things to know regarding harnessing one\u2019s emotional power to receive healing?<\/strong><\/p>\n In the book I\u00a0 describe a \u201cdeal\u201d made between a leading scientist (Descartes) and the pope of his day in which the soul essentially became a step-child of both.\u00a0 This issue persists today despite its conflict with both science and Scripture. King David knew better! In Ps 41, he asks God to heal his soul at a time when he was physically sick in bed. David says he needs this soul healing because of his sin.<\/p>\n Sin gives the enemy a legal landing strip on our soul. It can be our own sin or bitterness from sin against us.\u00a0 Our souls become chronically wounded and these wounds must be healed so our bodies can heal.\u00a0 I believe it is less \u201charnessing emotions\u201d than honestly and prayerfully dealing with them.\u00a0 The acts of repenting or forgiving initiate healing to a soul wound that is blocking physical healing.<\/p>\n Jesus teaches us the importance of forgiveness.\u00a0 Mark 11: 23-26 shows Jesus teaching that unforgiveness is not an option.<\/p>\n How exactly does the body heal itself of cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n Healing happens through creation rather than destruction.\u00a0 God creates.\u00a0 The enemy destroys. Cancer is the ultimate result of inflammation (meant to be the immune system\u2019s temporary<\/em> first responder) becoming persistently sustained as a result of repeated insult (stress or trauma) which keeps inflammatory chemicals churning through blood vessels until a cascade of events occur in body tissue (at the weakest location for some reason). \u00a0Those events are\u00a0 listed in Appendix 5 of the book.\u00a0 The result is that body cells have oxygen and nutrient supply compromised and toxins can\u2019t be carried off. The area stagnates and cells desperately try to survive by tricking the body to grow more blood vessels to the tumorous cells while they live on fermented sugar (which is acid forming) rather than their normal function.<\/p>\n Removing the cause of the inflammatory persistence (toxins, insults); supporting the lymphatic system in evacuating inflammatory by-products; supplying body cells with essential nutrients, oxygen, and water; and ceasing the assault on the DNA give our \u201cfearfully and wonderfully made bodies\u201d the terrain in which they can heal. Damaged cells can be killed off and new cells produced.\u00a0 Pain is relieved as oxygen is supplied.\u00a0 Balance is restored and energy is again generated.\u00a0 Life at every level is a creative process. We are more than chemical beings.\u00a0 We are electrical and vibrational beings as well.\u00a0 Only our Creator can synchronize all this and He always<\/em> wants to do it because He IS love\u2014creative love. Love is \u201chow\u201d He is.<\/p>\n Give us a list of foods to stay away from in order to prevent cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n My purpose is for the reader to see restoration of their health as rooted in opportunity rather than denial.\u00a0 I avoid lists of \u201cdon\u2019ts\u201d; however there are some \u201cno brainers\u201d which include avoiding: sugar, caffeine, alcohol, refined and processed foods, soft drinks and sports or energy drinks (including the pink ones), and white table salt.\u00a0 Sugar is \u201ccancer fertilizer\u201d and a principle component or by-product in most of the other items on this list.<\/p>\n The substances I\u2019ve mentioned are not actually foods but rather factory made materials the body \u201creads\u201d as \u201cforeign toxic matter\u201d and inflammation is a response to such material.\u00a0 Meat and dairy can inflame as well.<\/p>\n Are diet sodas harmful?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The book includes a specific explanation of the various common artificial sweeteners used in \u201cdiet sodas\u201d citing well-credentialed \u201cexperts.\u201d All such sweeteners are \u201cread\u201d by our bodies as poison and the impact is cumulatively negative.<\/p>\n What are the best vegetables and fruits to eat to prevent cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n The book and website have several very useful appendices grouping vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices according to specific health supporting molecules they contain particularly regarding cancer.<\/p>\n Colorful organic vegetables and fruits including berries, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage family), large stone fruits, leafy greens, and whole or sprouted grains are essential. Pure water is critical.\u00a0 A balance of essential fatty acids is critical.\u00a0 Any meat or dairy absolutely needs to be from animals fed a plant-based diet.<\/p>\n Eating God-made food in the form closest to the way He created it is a sure way of taking in essential complete molecules in the exact combinations body cells need them.\u00a0 We have thousands of chemical, electrical, and vibrational actions and reactions going on in our bodies all the time so that ONLY the Creator of both the body and the food could make them able to constantly adjust to ever-changing needs. Synthetic nutrients are incomplete and cannot adjust.<\/p>\n Give us a list of full meals for\u00a0breakfast that are safe to prevent cancer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Suggestions\u2014God may have others just for you:<\/p>\n -A lot of fresh homemade vegetable juice.<\/p>\n -Sprouted & whole grain cereals with almond or coconut milk, nuts, berries, good cinnamon, and pure stevia.<\/p>\n -Sprouted grain toast, organic coconut oil as butter or fresh ground raw almond butter (not hydrogenated). Good cinnamon and maybe a tiny bit of raw honey or fresh berries spread on top.<\/p>\n -Fresh smoothies with frozen organic berries and\/or large stone fruit like peach or mango, avocado, a little spinach, coconut milk or water and stevia. (Breakfast or Lunch)<\/p>\n I name an amazing coffee substitute in the book that can be drip brewed like coffee or used from a \u201ctea bag\u201d\u2014plain or flavored.\u00a0 I like it with stevia and coconut milk.\u00a0 It made me give up coffee \u201ccold turkey.\u201d \u00a0 Herbal teas are good too.\u00a0 I love fresh squeezed lemonade made with filtered water and stevia hot or cold.<\/p>\n Give us a list of full meals for\u00a0lunch that are safe to prevent cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n -Salads with dressings like a brand of Healthy Vinaigrette I name in the book (not refrigerated so portable). Herb sprinkles, nuts, all kinds of vegetable combinations the more colorful the better. Slaw is good \u2013skip the mayo and use other dressings like one I give the recipe for in the book.<\/p>\n -Sandwiches with sprouted grain bread and various vegetable combinations, hummus spread, guacamole spread, occasionally organic cheese, sprouts.\u00a0 Olive oil and herbs are good sprinkled on \u2013 no mayo.\u00a0 Chopped salads are quick to prepare in a food processor and quick to eat.<\/p>\n Soups such as fresh gazpacho in summer and,<\/span> any season go with healthy minestrone, various vegetable soups, bean, onion, tomato, vegetarian chili, etc. \u00a0There are excellent vegetable recipes online and many good vegan cookbooks.<\/p>\n -Smoothies eaten with crackers or nuts because chewing aids digestion.<\/p>\n Give us a list of full meals for\u00a0dinner that are safe to prevent cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n -Again, salads of various vegetable combinations and textures and slaws using cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) are filling and actively anti-cancer (and many other diseases).<\/p>\n -Stir-fry dishes using various vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, (tofu) are great. Use only grape, olive or coconut oil and even a little filtered water to steam\/stir fry.\u00a0 Olives, capers, infused olive oils can jazz up these dishes.<\/p>\n -Steamed vegetables seasoned with herbs or coconut oil with herbs\/spices.<\/p>\n -Whole or sprouted grain pastas with tomatoes and other vegetables, herbs.\u00a0 (<\/span>Sprouted grains still have their enzymes and good protein)<\/span>.\u00a0 However, white flour pastas and breads convert quickly to sugar in digestion.<\/p>\n -I\u2019m learning to cook vegan Indian recipes using spices with potent anti-cancer molecules like turmeric. This is very interesting food and many recipes come from areas of the world where cancer is hardly ever seen.<\/p>\n -Tacos and wraps using sprouted or whole grain soft shells and wild caught salmon and vegetables.<\/p>\n -Homegrown vegetables like green beans, new potatoes, sliced tomatoes, squash, corn, etc.<\/p>\n -Spaghetti squash with fresh marinara, mushroom, or other sauce is excellent.<\/p>\n -Mashed potatoes and cauliflower with herbs and soy sour cream.<\/p>\n Vegetables are very filling and satisfy for a long time between meals.<\/p>\n I love to munch on raw vegetables like cauliflower, which is loaded with good molecules.<\/p>\n Finally, what are the essential things that you eat every day to prevent cancer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I eat what I\u2019ve listed in answers to earlier questions plus I make sure to get organic flax oil mixed with high sulfur protein such as cottage cheese or yogurt once a day.\u00a0 And the importance of this combination is explained in the book.\u00a0 I keep my body chemistry slightly alkaline because cancer simply cannot live in an alkaline internal environment<\/p>\n I might eat 2 ounces of meat a month and a little bit of organic cheese without hormones or antibiotics. I eat some wild caught salmon occasionally.\u00a0 In the book I explain the importance of salmon being wild-caught.<\/p>\n Every day, I drink at least a pint of fresh vegetable juice I make from carrots, celery, cucumbers, and sometimes bell peppers.<\/p>\n I drink lots of water that I either distill or filter (more in book on this). I keep fresh squeezed organic lemon juice in fridge all the time and make good lemonade sweetened with stevia, which is my important anti-cancer\u00a0\u00a0 source of vitamin C. I use coconut or almond milk rather than animal dairy.\u00a0 I try to eat 75% of my food raw to keep enzymes working in food. \u00a0I eat a little dark chocolate (85% cocoa) sweetened with stevia. I keep homegrown broccoli sprouts and toss them into all kinds of dishes because they are packed with good anti-cancer molecules and very tasty.\u00a0 They are very inexpensive food and easy to grow in a glass jar.<\/p>\n I\u2019m 71 years old and have more energy than ever in my life. Once I got healthy, I no longer \u201cneeded\u201d two prescription medicines I\u2019d been on for decades. There is NOTHING like feeling really good.<\/p>\n Enjoying food is a wonderful thing but using food for entertainment is not.\u00a0 Approaching a meal considering the creative elements within the food means asking, \u201cwhat \u2018raw material\u2019 does my body need me to send in so the cells can efficiently create my health?\u201d\u00a0 Our cells are little factories awaiting our \u201cjust in time\u201d delivery of the only<\/em> useful molecules.\u00a0 They are as dependent on us as fish in an aquarium are on their caretaker.<\/p>\n Why do you think so many Christians who have cancer today pray earnestly but don\u2019t receive healing from God?<\/strong><\/p>\n The answer to this question pervades the entire book, I hope, with constructive insight. And, in my seminars, I really focus on changing several perceptions that I\u2019m convinced contribute to this issue; the first is that the miracle of healing must be an event.\u00a0 I have seen such miracles and each is wonderful.\u00a0 Yet such healing can be lost if root issues aren\u2019t dealt with. I believe Christians can benefit from learning to co-labor with God in their healing process beginning before<\/em> treatment decisions are made.<\/p>\n Another damaging perspective is that cancer (disease) is a random<\/em> act of violence against our bodies or, worse, that God might have somehow allowed or caused the disease and we don\u2019t deserve to be healed.\u00a0 It is impossible to ask God to do something we doubt He wants to do.\u00a0 These perceptions render us \u201chelpless\u201d in our souls; even scientific studies indicate that feeling helpless is a common emotion among patients who lose their battle to cancer.\u00a0 There is always a root cause that must be reversed.<\/p>\n Just as we repent and walk out our spiritual salvation\u00a0 ( i.e. spiritual healing), we do the same in our physical health.\u00a0 There is neither future nor power in killing off or cutting out cancer and\u00a0 returning to the same life that led to its arising.\u00a0 I know this truth from experience which I share in the book. Remission failure is too common and unnecessary!<\/p>\n The perception that a certain \u201ckind\u201d of cancer (like pancreatic) is an absolute death sentence actually makes it a death sentence in most cases.\u00a0 Our bodies believe every word they hear and obey them even if they know the source is dubious. Words heal or kill\u2014all of them count!<\/p>\n Another perception that sabotages healing is that cancer is a purely physical disease in which some \u201calien other\u201d has mysteriously invaded the body.\u00a0 This perception is common in the medical culture also. Jesus always healed both body and soul, which is observed in the book.<\/p>\n Our prayer must be more dialogue than monologue so that we can participate in our own healing, and health will be the result rather than merely remission. Additionally, I believe we need to be careful who we enlist to pray for us because quantum science and Scripture both demonstrate the power of intent and we absolutely want ONLY those praying for us who believe we will return to health.\u00a0 Hope against hope prayers can actually undermine healing. \u00a0This may be the most important topic in the book.<\/p>\n Where can people buy your book?<\/strong><\/p>\n On my website,\u00a0www.slamthedooroncancer.com<\/a>, it is available in paperback format individually or discounted in bundles of 5 copies (because I am finding that readers like to gift it to others.)\u00a0\u00a0 Paperbacks purchased on the website include a free bonus CD from a recent seminar and free shipping in USA.\u00a0 It is also available as a PDF\u00a0download on the website for $5.<\/p>\n The Kindle and paperback versions are listed with Amazon.com\u00a0worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n I just want to say that, during my \u201cintense searching,\u201d Frank\u2019s books were very important to me.\u00a0 I recall listening to From Eternity to Here<\/a> during the 3+ \u00a0hour journey home from having routine follow up CT scans (which I don\u2019t have any more).<\/p>\n![\"SlamtheDoorBannerforPTMIN\"](\"https:\/\/frankviola.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/SlamtheDoorBannerforPTMIN.jpg\")
