LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS: How Integrative Treatments Can Help Heal Cancer

By Marion M. Pyle−

In 2012, our lives were turned upside down in the blink of an eye when my husband was diagnosed with a vicious form of bladder cancer. To make matters worse, we were informed that his type of malignancy would not even respond to chemotherapy or radiation. Having lived a pretty healthy lifestyle up until that point, we knew little about cancer treatments except that that chemo and radiation were standard protocols. Deprived of those options, we felt not only condemned, but lost. But, as we were to learn, when God’s in charge, nothing is ever hopeless.

Our lack of conventional options thrust us into a race against time to find alternatives. What we discovered was so life-changing—and life-saving—that, contrary to conventional medical predictions, my husband was completely healed in ten months!

When we first begun our research, we knew nothing about integrative oncology. This type of integrative medicine combines the best of traditional approaches with alternative therapies. It seeks to repair the immune system so it can help expose and recognize malignant cells in order to destroy them. Cancer cells hide under several layers of protein coating thus deceiving the immune system into believing they are a friendly presence. With the use of alternative therapies, this coating is eaten away, exposing the cancer for the enemy that it is and allowing our body’s immune system to go on the attack.

But alternative oncology also offers a host of other non invasive, non toxic, painless therapies that fight alongside the immune system. Some of these can include the use of intravenous vitamin C, oxygen or ozone therapy, pulsated electromagnetic therapy, nutrition therapy, systematic detoxification, and dozens more (you can read more about these at http://www.healedhealthyandwhole.com). Our particular protocol combined eight treatments which all worked together over a period of months to destroy the cancer and nurse my husband back to health.

When we began our journey in March 2102, our conventional oncologist said there was a 95 percent chance that my husband would have to have his bladder removed, followed by removal of the prostate gland, to save his life. Even then, the doctor gave him only 5 years to live—and a compromised quality of life, at that. But, by following these alternative protocols instead, on January 13, 2013, my husband was declared cancer-free. To this day, he remains radiantly healed, healthy and whole.

Going through this experience was excructiating and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But the American Cancer Society tells us that 1-3 women and 1 –in 2 men will get cancer in their lifetimes. That’s half the U.S. population! What is going on?! Only God has all the answers, but we know he sends us trials to build our character and spiritual muscles so that we may then turn around and help others who are fighting these same heartwrenching battles.

It is in that spirit of service that I wrote my book “Healed, Healthy and Whole, How We Beat Cancer with Integrative Therapies and Essential Healing Strategies.” (http://www.healedhealthyandwhole.com). It tells our story in a relatable way and includes the spiritual, medical, physical, and relational strategies that we used when the odds were stacked against and we were so desperately lost, confused, heartbroken, and afraid. Our free newsletter also offers a host of resources, as do several other assets that helped give us the strength and faith to fight fiercely through all the ups and downs. We pray that our experience may bring you the comfort, guidance and wisdom that we received during our hour of deepest need (2 Corinthians 1:4). To God be the glory!
