Something to talk about

I have to say, I have been very lucky in my life. I grew up with very loving family and had a chance to travel around the world, I married the man I love, and have two amazing kids.

On May 20^th 2005 I gave birth to my son Antonio Jacob Lepori- If you’re a mom and you are reading this blog, you know it’s the best thing in the world; holding what we created as a couple, this beautiful tiny boy in my arm, life was perfect.  Well 18 month passed by and I went through the same miracle again.  My beautiful strong minded daughter named Racquel Marry Lepori was born on December 29^th 2006.  Unfortunately, this amazing moment did not last for long – few days after birth, Racquel was rushed to the hospital for open heart surgery and 4 other follow.  As parents I cannot tell you the stress that came with that.  Thanks to technology and amazing doctors, she’s fine.  Well, she will always have a heart problem, but nothing that can’t be fixed by a surgery; which we hope will go well every time.

After a few years and 4 surgeries later, we thought the worst was over and the kids were healthy.  On September30^th 2010 we took Antonio to the doctor for stomach pain, and found out he had cancer: non hodgkin's lymphoma stage 4.  At that moment I was thinking that he wouldn’t survive; its cancer and all I could wonder was, how? Why? I could not understand how it’s possible that both of my kids experienced serious health issues. We’re not talking cold or some type of infection; we’re talking life and death.

The doctors offered to start chemo and of course I did not know any other option, so I said yes; I wanted my son to live, no matter what.  My husband Alfred, at one point asked the doctors if there are other options.  Like unnatural way, or nutrition perhaps?  Since chemo kills everything in body and has long term affects even after the treatment is over. Well, the doctors looked at him like he was crazy and an over worried dad.  They said there is no other way, and its either chemo or he’s going to die!!  So we went forward with the chemo.  Six months of hell later, the light at the end of the tunnel finally got brighter. Today Antonio is still in remission, and will be for the next five years.

After seeing both of my kids experience these terminal illnesses, I decided to do my own research and find out more about cancer and heart disease.  To see if it’s systematic or anything else.  Well, after one year of educating myself and my family, I learned about organic food and the connection between food, cancer and so many other diseases.  I came across a documentary called Forks Over Knifes- how a truck driver was cured from his diabetes and psoriasis and lost over 100lbs just by juicing fruits and veggies and was able to play with his 9 year old again. I got inspired!!! I followed his method and have lost over 10lbs, my skin looks better, and I have a lot more energy.

2 months later I heard about Gerson Therapy.  I learned how people with terminal cancer that been sent home to die were cured with a diet involving juicing, coffee enema, and nutritional supplements (we will have a long discussion in the blog about this).  With many success stories behind his treatment, Gerson went to the FDA for approval, and his case and was denied!!  The only reason is because it would shut down pharmaceutical companies, which we all know control the FDA.  More than 50% of American’s are on some type of medication, and are obese, have cancer, heart disease, or some type of skin illness.  

My blog is not to put anyone out of business (well, I would like to see less drugs). It’s to educate you on how to improve your health, to avoid all chemical medications, and how to look at labels in supermarkets to give your body what it really needs!!!

People always ask how to shop Organic without emptying your bank account – it’s possible. How to make your kids eat more veggies, and drink fresh juice instead soda.  We don’t have to be sick to do something about this; we can use the juicing method as preventative medicine and a better life style.  This is not a diet!!! This is to educate yourself and do something for the ones you love the most - YOUR CHILDREN!!!!
