It all started in 2016 when I was diagnosed with ER positive, HER2 negative, left breast ductal cancer which was tackled with some deep breaths, a lumpectomy and holistic healing.

Over four years later, and eighteen months after the sudden death of my amazing father, things reignited. The previous scar tissue became another lump, and I was thrown back into the NHS, a system I felt highly uncomfortable in.

Having been in the system for more than eight years, I know how demoralising, disarming and unfair it is. Good news only came if you followed all the rules and took on the usual three treatments offered: chemo, radiation, pills, and surgery. What happened when you wanted to take something but not everything? You were not well received.

In my bid for wholeness, I began throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at it. I say “wholeness” because, of course, we are deemed ill when given such diagnoses, and I did not feel this way, as I am sure many others do not. This judgment did not sit well, and I found the terminology at times, extremely damaging.

I worked hard on my daily healing with many things such as: nutrition, herbalism, meditation, castor oil packs, coffee enemas, and anything and everything I had read about in books or on alternative cancer sites. However, nothing was taming the lump this time. Instead, it was taking on its own journey.

At this time, I reconnected with an acquaintance on the subject of “The Biological Laws of Nature from German New Medicine.” The timing was perfect and as luck would have it, this changed my course of events.

Modern oncology makes me feel disempowered, I have not found it to be a consistent or particularly logical science, and this starts with the germ theory and finishes with the metastasis theory.

Following The Biological Laws of Nature, something that the whole plant and animal kingdom also experience, provided a reference point and a comfort blanket. I refused to see myself as malfunctioning and sick, and with the help of the biological laws, I saw myself as healing from the emotional trauma that began in the psyche.

I have found The Biological Laws to be consistent and help us understand our bodies and minds from a distinct perspective. Which is that they are not malfunctioning or dubious inherited DNA.

I went through the five laws and the phases of healing, which included lumps, swelling, water retention, pain, water draining out, hot sweats due to microbial activity, ducts shrinking, and lots of pulling of the tissues.

New conflicts, which are what oncology terms "metastasis,” often happen when you have been given such shocking diagnoses. I developed skin, lymph, and liver issues, all pertaining to different conflicts. German New Medicine says if we heal our conflicts, we heal our bodies.

I believe we should have a choice. I took hormonal medications on my journey at a time when my skin wounds were messy and painful, and this took me out of an intense healing that I could not close off.

In German New Medicine, skin conflicts come about due to disfigurement, and this is how I felt daily. I did not believe I could heal this one without some intervention to take me out of the intense healing I could not quite fathom. I always honed into my inner self and took each decision at my own pace.

As a naturopathic nutritionist, I also trained in psychology and paid attention to my thoughts and how energy can lock itself in our bodies through our pasts. I researched energy healing and made sure I worked on moving energy through my body daily by using spiritual counseling, journaling, meditation, gong baths, reiki, and exercising, including daily dog walks.

Time spent connecting with nature is moving meditation; I could be aware of my thoughts and then release them. I worked on staying grounded. I hooked up with the German New Medicine community and collaborated with a German New Medicine practitioner to understand my conflicts in a bid to heal them. They were able to remind me of the program I was completing and that it was all a very natural process, which gave validity and genuine hope, something I aim to provide my clients, in addition
to nutritional and body healing practices.

I am now eight years on from this initial diagnosis and there are still days where I have had to dig deeper due to the deformity I am left with. However, my war wounds remind me that I traveled a journey, one of physical and spiritual healing, trauma release, acceptance, and discovery.

We all need a mentor or two in life when the going gets tough. There is not one way to do anything, but I do believe that we can ride the waves without degrading our health.

I saw “Cancer” as my teacher to guide me to become a better therapist so I could share this knowledge with others in need. Remember, with a little guidance and understanding of Mother Nature, we can weather the storms. Storms make people stronger, and they do not last forever. (Archive, Danny Carroll)
