February 3, 1998: Cancer Survivor - Dr. Lorraine Day
Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description
Art Bell interviews Dr. Lorraine Day, a former associate professor and vice chairman of orthopedic surgery at the University of California San Francisco, about her personal battle with cancer and the natural methods she used to overcome it. Dr. Day describes how a small tumor on her chest grew to the size of a grapefruit in just ten days after her immune system collapsed from years of overwork, sleep deprivation, and chronic stress.
After refusing chemotherapy and radiation, which she argues destroy the very immune system needed for healing, Dr. Day adopted a rigorous natural protocol. Her plan included eight glasses of fresh carrot juice daily, four glasses of green vegetable juice, eliminating meat and sugar, drinking sixteen to twenty glasses of water, getting adequate sunlight, and most critically, removing the emotional stress from her life through prayer and lifestyle changes. She reports being cancer-free within ten months.
Dr. Day challenges conventional medical thinking on multiple fronts, arguing that genetics account for less than five percent of cancers and that the real culprits are malnutrition, dehydration, and chronic stress. She shares the story of her 85-year-old mother recovering from a severe autoimmune disease on the same program, and callers contribute their own experiences with alternative healing approaches.
