Why I’m Sharing This Healing Testimony
This post is not a promise of a miracle cure. It is not medical advice. And it is not a perfectly executed protocol.
What it is—is a faith-based healing testimony rooted in lived experience, prayer, and supporting the body the way God designed it to function.
Healing, in my experience, is not instant. It is a process—one that requires consistency, humility, obedience, and trust in God.
“I am the Lord who heals you.” — Exodus 15:26
Stage 3 Liver Cancer Diagnosis: When Everything Changed
My ex-fiancé was diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer, with a ping-pong–sized tumor. After three years of chemotherapy, the cancer continued to progress.
Doctors eventually removed half of his liver, leaving him ineligible for a transplant. That moment marked a turning point. He lost faith in Big Pharma and began seeking a different path—one rooted in faith, nutrition, and the body’s God-given design.
Turning to Natural Healing, Prayer, and God’s Design
Four months after he began intermittent ivermectin use, we met. As someone who has long believed in natural healing, I became determined to support the body instead of attacking it—to create an internal environment where healing could occur.
Everything we did was paired with prayer and discernment.
We were not perfect. We were not rigid. But we were consistent where it mattered most.
What Actually Stayed Consistent (The Healing Foundations)
Before listing everything we used, this matters:
The three most consistent healing practices were:
- Daily fresh juicing
- Intermittent fasting
- Prayer
Everything else supported these foundations.
In just 10 months, his cancer and tumor were completely gone.
All glory goes to God! Praise the Lord, Yahweh!
Juicing for Cancer Support: The One Non-Negotiable
Juicing was the only protocol he stayed consistent with—and I believe this consistency was critical.
Why it worked:
I made large batches every two weeks
He simply drank one 18oz bottle per day
Our Daily Routine
First meal: lunch
Second meal: dinner
No food again until lunch the next day
Every morning during the fasting window:
- 18 oz fresh juice
- Yogurt for gut support
Fasting, Prayer, and Biblical Healing
“This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” — Matthew 17:21
I believe fasting gives the body time to repair and detox while prayer invites God into the healing process. Healing often unfolds gradually—but fasting creates the conditions for restoration.
Juicing Ingredients for Healing & Detox
- 1 huge bag carrots
- 2 heads broccoli
- 3 large beets
- 2 pineapples
- 1 bag apples
- 1 bag oranges
- 1 bag lemons
- ½ large chunk ginger
- 2 bags celery
- 1 bag spinach or kale
- 1 bunch cilantro and/or parsley
- Sometimes grapefruit
- In summer: ½ watermelon
Bare minimum: carrots, broccoli, beets, celery, pineapple. (Pineapple helps sweeten everything…plus its a huge immune booster!)
👉 Cold-press juicers matter. Consistency is much easier with quality equipment.
👉 Pro Tip: I stored juice in airtight glass bottles, and ours lasted up to two weeks refrigerated. If you don’t have airtight bottles, freeze some or make smaller batches.
👉 Research! I highly encourage you to research Pinterest for foods that heal whatever your medical diagnosis or ailment is! Find the foods that heal that particular body part or ailment and eat them a LOT and include them into your juicing routine. This will thoroughly maximize your results! You can find my other blog posts on my Pinterest page and start your search from there.
Supplements & Natural Support Tools We Used
👉 Pro Tip: Grind the bitter apricot seeds in a coffee grinder and put them into capsules using a capsule filling tray. Do this with the black seed oil as well. Both the apricot seeds and black seed oil do not taste good on its own but I recommend doing it fresh rather than premade into capsules already (in my opinion).
Ivermectin (Personal Experience Only)
He used ivermectin intermittently, not continuously:
2 weeks on / 2 weeks off
Or 1 month on / 1 month off
⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. This is personal experience only. Always use discernment and consult a qualified natropathic professional. We found from our own personal research that it is beneficial to not continually use Ivermectin, but to give the body a break between uses.
Castor Oil Packs: A Powerful Healing Tool
Castor oil packs were used nightly or as often as possible. I believe castor oil, juicing, fasting, and prayer together made the greatest impact.
Castor oil has been traditionally used for:
- Tumors & cysts
- Liver detox
- Gut repair
- Wound healing
- Bone spurs
- Skin health
👉 Use organic, hexane-free or cold-pressed castor oil in a brown glass bottle. I use the Goodbye Company daily and have good results.
Nightly Tea Ritual for Liver Support
Each night before bed:
This became part of our nightly liver-support routine. We often added naturally flavored herbal teas for taste and relaxation. We love True Honey Teas for that!
Diet Adjustments: Listening to the Body
We didn’t overhaul his entire diet—but we paid attention.
What We Avoided:
- Fried foods
- Sugar (sugar feeds cancer)
- Anything that caused pain
Red meat caused him severe pain—four days of bed rest after one meal. His body simply could not process it after losing half his liver. He is now able to eat red meat since his tumor is gone, but it was horrible on him at the time.
Lesson learned: If something causes pain—remove it immediately.
I learned this firsthand during my fibromyalgia elimination diet (AKA Spectrum Protocol Diet), where healing didn’t truly show up until two months in.
Hydration & Gut Health Support
Adequate water intake was essential
Yogurt supported gut health
👉 Glass water bottles are preferred over plastic to reduce toxic exposure.

Tools That Made This Healing Journey Possible
These tools were instrumental for consistency and success:
Cold-press juicer – preserves nutrients and makes daily juicing sustainable
Glass juice bottles (airtight) – keeps juice fresh and reduces oxidation
Coffee grinder – used to grind bitter apricot seeds
Capsule filling tray + refillable capsules – made supplements easier to take
Organic castor oil – cold-pressed or hexane-free
Castor oil packs – enhanced absorption overnight
Frankincense essential oil – traditionally used for healing and inflammation
Myrrh essential oil – historically and biblically associated with healing
These tools removed friction, improved consistency, and supported long-term healing.
The 60-Day Healing Reset (Start Here)
I don’t ask you to believe me blindly. I invite you to try this for 60 days.
When I healed from fibromyalgia, two months was the turning point.
The Reset:
For 60 days:
- Drink fresh juice daily
- Practice intermittent fasting
- Put castro oil on as body & face lotion, use castro oil packs nightly
- Remove foods that cause pain
- Hydrate deeply
- Support liver and gut health
- Pray daily for guidance and healing
You don’t need perfection. You need consistency.
Final Thoughts on Faith & Healing
This journey included fear, setbacks, and inconsistency—but also faith, perseverance, and hope.
I believe healing could have happened sooner with full consistency. Even so, God healed him in 10 months—what chemotherapy could not do in three years.
Why am I sharing this?
For those who feel stuck.
For those told there are no options left.
For those quietly seeking truth.
You are allowed to ask questions.
You are allowed to research.
You are allowed to seek God in your healing.
All glory goes to God. He is our ultimate healer. 🤍
