I was contemplating what to do with all of the sweet potato vines over running my garden, herb beds and up the fence and out into the field. Turns out they're exactly what my body needs- highly loaded with anticancer compounds. Nice, - thank you!

"4.1. Anti-Cancer Activity
Leaves of sweet potato have been recognized as a potent anti-cancer food source against various cancer cells, including HCT-116 colon cancer [103], HeLa cancer [103], MCF-7 breast cancer [15], prostate cancer [16], colorectal cancer [104], and lung cancer [102] cells due to high content of anthocyanins [44,45], and polyphenols [7]. Methanol extracts of SPL inhibit proliferation of all human prostate cancer cells (PC-3, C4-2B, C4-2, DU145, and LNCaP) with IC50 values of 145–315 μg/mL due to modulations of cell cycle, inductions of apoptosis, and reductions of clonogenic survival [79]. The anti-prostate cancer activity of SPL is attributed to the presence of 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, quinic acid, isochlorogenic acids, caffeic acid, and ester chlorogenic acid [16]. Chen et al. [42] showed that polyphenols in purple SPL depressed proliferation, migration, and tube formation of vascular endothelial growth factor-treated human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Chlorogenic acid was reported as a strong and selective inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 [42] and matrix metalloproteinase-9 [105], which are angiogenic enzymes responsible for tumor metastasis and invasion, so that it can demonstrate several desirable anti-carcinogenic properties including inhibitory activity against A549 human lung cancer cells [102]. Caffeoylquinic acid derivatives also have potential for cancer prevention through apoptosis induction by increasing caspase-3 activity and expression of c-Jun (apoptosis-related gene) [7]. Among these compounds, 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid effectively inhibits the development of human colon cancer DLD-1 cells, promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, and stomach Kato III cancer cells, whereas caffeic acid demonstrates higher inhibitory activity against HL-60 cells than other di- and tri-O-caffeoylquinic acids [7]. Recently, a 16-amino-acid peptide, named the peptide Ipomoea batatas anti-cancer peptide (IbACP) from SPL, showed the inhibition of pancreatic cancer line [68]. Several studies have also been performed to evaluate the in vivo anti-cancer activity of SPL [6,16]. Gundala et al. [16] reported that the daily consumption of polyphenol-rich SPL extract (400 mg/kg) inhibited the growth and induced the apoptosis in both human prostate cancer cell and in vivo prostate cancer xenograft models. Similarly, the consumption of Okinawan SPL extract (200 ppm and 1000 ppm) for 12 weeks potentially inhibited the progression and development of neoplasms in mouse colon carcinogenesis model [6]."

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is one of the most important food crops worldwide and its leaves provide a dietary source of nutrients and various bioactive compounds. These constituents of sweet potato leaves (SPL) vary among varieties and play important ...

Thank you all for the outpouring of love and concern. Follow up- Ultrasound today shows tumor growth with hyper vascularity. In other words. It is growing. I have a plan with my naturopathic oncologist. I will not be doing any conventional treatment at this time. My plan includes b17 and chemogenic sub-q mistletoe. I caught this well before the standard oncology docs who would have cleared me at this last appointment if I didn't insist on further investigation. I knew something was happening. Which only affirms-trust your gut! YOU are your best doctor. We may begin raising money for me to go to Idaho to the alternative cancer center if necessary. For now we feel we can treat at home. Focus on it disappearing, see me in your mind as happy, vibrant and well. I refuse to see otherwise. This is a blip. A setback on the journey. I've already beat the odds. I AM here now. I AM well. I AM victorious. I love you and am grateful for every way you all touch my life. We are ripples in the pond. Namaste

The Universe will keep sending the message. Sometimes it shows up as a difficult relationship, sometimes it's a repeated experience, sometimes it's an illness sometimes it's a feeling. The knock gets louder and louder until finally you have to acknowledge it one way or another. From now on may I have the grace to receive it, transmute it, move forward.

My public drinking water contains more than 10 cancer causing chemicals at very high concentrations. Look up your water by zip code here.

Look up your local water system to find out which pollutants might be of concern, and find suggestions on the best kinds of home filters to remove those chemicals.

Kicking Cancer's Ass: It’s official- I am in remission, completely cancer free. Pet scan this week shows no traces. My standard medical doctors are dumbfounded and can’t understand how it happened without high dose radiation, immunotherapy drugs and surgery. 6 months from diagnosis Stage 3C with metastasis to lymph nodes, GONE! I used the best of what they had to offer, low dose chemo and low dose radiation to debulk a very large tumor combined with naturopathic medicine, off label low toxicity drugs, a metabolic approach and spiritual/emotional healers. Straight up this last year has been a living hell, I’ve had my entire life pulled out from under me and now I have to rebuild it. I WILL rebuild it. In the midst of excruciating pain I have seen the most intense beauty, the true amazing grace of our Creator and just how strong I really can be. I am so grateful for my husband who went above and beyond, every step of the way. He carried me, he pushed me in a wheelchair for 3 months, he cried with me, he was strong when I was not. The depths of his love and devotion were and are apparent every single day. His patience and diligence were unending. I am so grateful for my beautiful family who carried the things I could not. Thank you to my mom and dad and my sisters for taking over mothering my youngest son, taking care of my dog, and they swooped in to organize my home, appointments, medications, supplements etc when I was unable. They set up my living space to support me when I could not walk or sit without excruciating pain. They loved me, cried with me and prayed for me every day. They did everything I asked and didn’t ask. And to every friend, cousin, aunt, uncle, client and every single one of you that reached out with cards, love, loving texts, and prayers and thoughts. You ALL made the difference and helped me get through. Now begins the work to rebuild my body from the damage. Healing the scars both physical, and emotional. I know I was spared from death to serve a higher calling. I am meant to help others overcome this. I believed before and now I know. You CAN beat late stage cancer. There are many ways and they are less toxic and more effective than the standard of care that is offered. I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m saying it’s possible. This picture was taken two weeks ago on. I title it “Kicking Cancer’s Ass!”

To all of my loved ones, clients, friends, colleagues, it is with sadness but a hopeful heart that I will be closing my practice temporarily due to medical reasons. The next 8 weeks are critical and I welcome your prayers, healing thoughts and focused attention on removing this softball size invader from my body. Thank you for the outpouring of love and support already received. All things are possible when in a frequency of love and gratitude. So Be It

It's about listening, hearing and taking action. It's about how you feed, clothe, put yourself to bed, filter what comes into your surroundings. Thoughts, images, people. Love and honor yourself with the best you have access to

Is there a particular health issue that you have in your home that you wish you had the information and knowledge to confidently deal with at home with natural remedies instead of toxic over the counter stuff or having to run you or your children into the doctors office, urgent care or emergency room? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Keep things movin! My favorite constipation and immunity boost cocktails. Tastes great and no sugar. If you suffer from hypothyroidism or adrenal/hormonal issues constipation may be a real issue for you. This is a nice little boost. Great for stress, muscle aches and headaches also.

Every cell of your body needs thyroid hormone. Endocrine disruptors keep that hormone from going in to your cells. Chlorine is a BIG endocrine disruptor. This is why I tell everyone in my practice. Step 1. clean up your water. Before you invest in supplements, testing, all that stuff. Clean up your water first, your food second. The two filters I recommend if you can't do whole house filtration are a zero water filter and berkey. Only counter filters I know of that actually remove the chemical of chlorine, not just the taste and smell, fluoride, many pesticides and herbicides, hormones and pharmaceuticals. Yes, all that junk is in your municipal water. Start here.
