Life changed significantly for us when my wife was given a diagnosis for C in May, 2025 (roughly a year prior to this writing). The following weeks and months would see us exploring alternative healing methods which would open our eyes, hearts, and minds to a vast world of healing experiences far exceeding what is pushed as the only option from a conventional point of view.
It was a quiet evening in April, 2025 when my wife, Y, discovered a lump. We responded to this situation in the usual way with a Doctor's appointment and the recommend necessary tests and screenings.
The in and out process of tests, appointments, and follow ups was an exhausting routine that we slowly and initially accepted as being par for the course. We went to all the appointments, got all the tests, and initially we accepted this at face value.
However as we learned more about the conventional methods that were being offered we couldn't help but ask ourselves if there was another way.
Different ideas were presented to us from our network of alternative-thinking friends and the idea of making Radical Changes to our lifestyle (addressing root causes rather than symptoms) resonated with us.
We started to read and learn more about this approach, and learned about something called the 10 Key Factors of Radical Healing, documented in great detail by Dr. Kelly A. Turner, PhD, in her book Radical Remission, in which she devoted years of her life to study hundreds or even thousands of "spontaneous remission" cases documented in medical journals around the world (it is part of a Doctor's Oath to document any healing that occurs in their patients whether or not the healing came about through conventional or alternative means. If the Doctor can not fully understand what is behind the healing they label it simply as a spontaneous remission).
It was in Dr. Turner's book that I learned about a healing Centre here in BC that offers a 10-day detox retreat and I was inexplicably drawn to find out more about it.
I contacted the head Nurse Practitioner and met her on my way through Osoyoos. I got a warm and safe feeling in her presence and decided that we needed to do this. I shared all the details I'd collected with my wife when I got back home to the West Coast and to my great joy she agreed that she wanted to go for it and the registration went very quickly and smoothly and we were accepted into the next program just two weeks later.
The retreat was much more than we had dreamed of and the experience of being there opened our eyes to a whole world of possibilities and I do believe that the experience had been ordained and divinely guided.
Some time after returning home from the retreat we were making plans for an integrative treatment protocol with an Oncologist we had been referred to. The protocol was very impressive and made a strong impression on us yet my wife (as she would later tell me) was having misgivings about it. At this same time she was consulting online with a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner (I'll call her K-san) in Japan and they both were discussing a wish to be able to work together in person rather than virtually.
Some days later we received a call from K-san that an opportunity had come up and if Y wished, she could come to Japan and work together hands-on, not only with K-san but also with her mentor, a renowned healer from China (I'll call him T-sensei).
So we called up our Integrative Oncologist and politely asked to cancel the entire treatment and three days later Y was on a plane to Japan (she is Japanese and an only child, so the prospect of being close to her parents was actually the best outcome possible which again felt divinely guided).
Y's being away naturally meant that I would have to adapt into a single-parent situation at home (as of this writing we have two daughters aged 10 and 12 [I'll call them A and S, respectively]).
With the help of some strong friends (I will go into that in another post) I have been blessed with a strong foundation and spiritual support required to remain steadfast and approach this situation with a calm and open heart.
Likewise Y is in the best and most supportive circumstances at home with her parents in Japan and in the care of a powerful healer.
The situation is forcing both of us out of our comfort zones where the greatest spiritual growth is able to take place.
Despite the challenges we feel blessed to have this opportunity to attune our souls higher and higher as we navigate our way through this situation which is truly a soul-enriching test from the all-knowing, all-loving God above 🙏
