Print out the “I Will Have No Fear” prayer and scripture cards found on the resource page and post around your home. “In countless studies, researchers have shown that fear keeps the body stuck in fight or flight mode, which means the body cannot switch over to rest and repair mode. Fear literally shuts down the immune system” (Dr. Kelly Turner). Focus on the capability of God instead of the challenge of cancer. Nothing is impossible with Him!

by Dr. Nasha Winters ND FABNO and Jess Higgins Kelley, MNT
The Optimal Terrain Ten Protocol to Reboot Cellular Health
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, cancer rates have increased exponentially―now affecting almost 50 percent of the American population.

Naturopathic, integrative oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters and nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley have identified the ten key elements of a person’s “terrain” (think of it as a topographical map of our body) that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. Each of the terrain ten elements―including epigenetics, the microbiome, the immune system, toxin exposures, and blood sugar balance―is illuminated as it relates to the cancer process, then given a heavily researched and tested, non-toxic and metabolic, focused nutrition prescription

3. Set up appointments with at least three different oncologists for your type of cancer. Your selection of an oncologist is important because they will be involved in your care for many years. Print “Key Questions to Ask Oncologists” for each appointment to select an oncologist. This form can be found on the resource page of our website under Articles & Forms.
4. Create a notebook to stay organized. Use this notebook to keep lab results, notes on treatment, and interviews with doctors in one place. In addition to a notebook or instead of a notebook, you may choose to use your phone to record meetings with your oncologist so you can focus on what is shared instead of trying to write down everything during the visit.
5. Have a whole approach to your wellness. Find a allopathic doctor of medicine (MD), osteopathic doctor (DO), or a naturopathic doctor of medicine (ND) near you who can work with you and your immune system to change your internal environment to fight the cancer. They will be able to guide you in considering the best diet and supplementation that will prevent chronic inflammation, stimulate your body’s natural defense system, promote a healthy digestive and immune system, effectively remove free radicals and toxins from your system and recommend the best integrative therapies. To find a MD/DO/ND in your state contact one of our patient advocates at: BelieveBig.org/patient-
6. Be your own advocate. Conventional physicians want to help and care for you, but their knowledge of nutritional therapy and complementary therapies is limited. Sadly, less than one third of medical schools in the United States teach nutrition in their programs. We have a standard of care (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) that conventional physicians must follow and prescribe. It is vital hat you ask the right questions, be your own advocate, research, and bathe the whole process in prayer before deciding on a protocol for your care.

Statistics help us make the right decisions about treatment, but these numbers do NOT determine our outcome. On paper, the statistical prognosis of my stage IV cancer meant I had a less than 8% survival rate, and yet, years later I continue to be cancer free! You cannot let the numbers and statistics discourage you. Focus on healing and believing we serve a great God who can do the impossible.
