Woman treats cancer with juice detox and coffee enemas and vegan diet
Known as the ‘Wellness Warrior’ to her thousands of social media followers, Jessica was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called epithelioid sarcoma at age 22.

The cancer spread through her entire left arm and shoulder even after chemotherapy, and doctors told her the best chance of beating of the disease was to have her arm amputated. But she refused

Jessica declined all further conventional medical treatment to follow the Gerson therapy of ‘radical detoxification’.

“They were unimpressed,” she told The Australian in 2012. “They said I would die, basically. They used the phrase ‘nail in your coffin’.”

Instead of chemotherapy, Jessica followed the Gerson regimen of drinking 10 raw juices and undergoing five coffee enemas daily, as well as mineral supplements and sticking to a strict vegan diet.

“I didn’t chop off my arm. I didn’t go into aggressive, full-body chemotherapy. I didn’t accept that my doctor’s ‘solution’ was the only course of action,” Jessica wrote on her blog.

“I decided that I would do everything in my power to thrive in life, despite the looming expiration date I’d been given. I learned how to treat myself with absolute kindness & self-respect.

“I radicalised my diet. I systematically detoxified my body — and mind. I discovered that wellness isn’t a destination, but a loving (and unconditionally forgiving) relationship with your own body.”

They wanted to chop off her arm and shoulder, I think I'd rather take a chance on other methods, then die. It would be a hard life, she'd be seen as freakish, if you've seen people who've lost the shoulder and arm. I respect her choice.

Read that again.
"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

how are they healthier if they are turning away from normal medical treatment for juice detoxes, coffee enemas, and a vegan diet? surely getting the proper treatment would be healthier?

I dont think all of her followers have cancer. Some just changed their way of eating because of her. Living a healthier life.

however, there is no evidence that juice detoxes, coffee enemas, a vegan diet, is healthier!

it's not healthier just because some hippies say so!

hippies can be wrong just as easily as doctors!

It Pisses The Medical Quacks Off When People Prefer To Die Rather Than Take Their Treatments. The Medical Profession Is Filled With Mutilators And Torturers. She Had Seven Good Years And They Still Insist It Would Have Been Better To Shop Her Arm And Shoulder Off. That's A Sick Way To Think.

Re: Woman treats cancer with juice detox and coffee enemas and vegan diet
So what kind of magical toxin free juice was she drinking? AFAIK all common juices (orange, apple, grape, grapefruit) are poisoned, same orchards being sprayed with pesticides/herbicides/artificially fertilized for decades, it all goes right into the fruit you eat.

Sounds like more disinfo BS to me, to encourage people to kill themselves instead of seeking serious cancer treatment.

use organic fruit and veg. Its not just that it detoxes, the juice diet uses none of the bodies energy to digest as normal food does, all the energy can go into healing itself.

This was my take on this whole story.
She defied odds by living seven more years which probably did piss them off.
