Many of you know that my mother has been quite ill, and we’ve been fighting hard to restore her health and independence. One day I’ll sit down and write about the full experience, but today I’ll keep it brief.
When I pulled my mother off all her medications on Thursday, September 5, 2019, the first to go were the antibiotics. Her condition had been spiraling downward, and by that point, the doctors had exhausted all options. That weekend was rough—very rough. It didn’t look like she was going to make it. As Dr. Thomas Cowan puts it, she was experiencing an intense “therapeutic cleansing response.”
She survived—and her condition improved considerably. In fact, we were able to bring her home from the hospital and begin several alternative therapies, one of which Dr. Cowan calls “arguably the most effective natural cancer medicine ever created.”
My mother is by no means out of the woods, but she’s still with us—and she doesn’t intend to leave anytime soon.
I urge you to watch this talk by Dr. Cowan. It’s lengthy, but well worth your time.
P.S. This is what I believe triggered my mother’s condition:

P.P.S. And this is how we dealt with it initially:
