Deryn Blackwell: The Boy in 7 Billion. Did Cannabis Save His Life? Part 1
Join us in this week's episode featuring the incredible Deryn Blackwell, otherwise known as The “Boy in 7 Billion”, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010 at just 10 years old and was later diagnosed with Langerhans cell sarcoma in 2012. This rare cancer only affects one in 7bn people, and Deryn was the only person in the world to have been diagnosed with this form of cancer after having initially had leukaemia.
We had his mother, Callie Blackwell on the show in 2023 to bare all on what it was like navigating the reality of her son dying before her eyes and the strength and courage it took to take matters into her own hands using medicinal cannabis, but today we get to hear it directly from the boy who experienced it all.
Deryn's incredible story is a testament to the strength it takes to stand up to a medical system that chooses to profit from sickness and an example of the miraculous healing that can take place when we work with Mother Earth.
Highlights from the episode:
His traumatic early childhood and growing up feeling different from his peers
Finding out he had Leukemia and the memory of seeing a dying baby fighting cancer, which completely changed his perspective
The traumatic treatment process
His next diagnosis with Langerhans cell sarcoma
Developing an addiction to cyclizine which was given to him during the course of his treatment and end-of-life care
His experience with cannabis that miraculously eradicated his addiction
There was so much to unpack from Deryn's story that we decided to have him back on the show for Part 2 to discuss his experience with medicinal cannabis in more depth, so keep an eye out for next week!
This episode is NOT one to miss!

Podcast updates, shocking news and more!
Yes, it's me again on my own this week as the team and I are hard at work making sure everything is for the release of our special episode with Barbara next week as well as the recording of Barbara's lecture which ended up being hours and hours of footage to get through!
I also had the privilege of recording a podcast with the amazing Natural Health Doctor Nyjon Eccles who did a thermogram with some completely unexpected results! Between Barbara, Dr. Eccles and all of my other wonderful podcast guests, it is so important we get this information out to as many people as possible.
As you might be aware, my work has been self-funded for as long as I could manage and I am reaching the end of that road. So your support is needed now more than ever.
So please buy my books, check out my FasterClass, share my podcast, sign up to my newsletter or keep an eye out for details on my membership launching in Autumn. We can do this!

Starting Your Journey Down The Wellness Way
VIVOBAREFOOT are the proud sponsors of today’s episode.
To reconnect with Earth by wearing REAL shoes, it’s PJL15 for 20% off your first order.

You’re welcome!
Starting Your Journey Down The Wellness Way, it’s Time To Start Your Journey With Me!
This week on The Wellness Way podcast, we have another special episode by yours truly, because we have an important announcement to make: I am officially launching a membership!
Throughout my time sharing this important work, and especially after the incredible event with Barbara O’Neill, I have received so many messages from people desperately needing help and advice about healing themselves naturally.
After war, the biggest money-spinner for politicians is the pharmaceutical industry. It is a medical model designed to milk you of money! But the good news is, there is something we can do to change this.
Now of course, I am not a doctor, so I cannot offer medical advice. But what I can do is share what I have learnt over the years on what has helped me, as well as all of the information I have gathered from my own research and my phenomenal podcast guests.
But there is an important caveat: what exactly this membership is going to look like, is completely up to you. All I know is that this is going to be an incredible community, where we can learn from each other and empower ourselves with knowledge. You are not alone.
I will be hosting these Zoom meetings every Thursday from now until this community is set up and ready to go! More details will be announced in due course, but for now, I shall leave you with a particularly apt episode from my Natural Wellness FasterClass series: Your Journey. Because this is YOUR journey, and it will require not just physical healing, but mental healing, too.
In this short episode, we introduce the tools that you can utilise to start your journey.

The Wellness Way's 2nd Anniversary: The Doctor of YOUR Future is YOU

The Wellness Way's 2nd Anniversary: The Doctor of YOUR Future is YOU
Change of schedule. To mark The Wellness Way's 2nd anniversary, on June 20th, we are moving the podcast and newsletter to Thursdays! In celebration of this incredible milestone, today, we will take you right back to the beginning of why, when and how I started all this.
For the newcomers to the podcast and my work, I am your host, author of The Natural Wellness Journal and The Wellness Way: Your Natural Health Systems interactive ebook. An EFT/Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner and Soma Breathwork Meditation Coach. But most importantly, I am a survivor of a near-death medical procedure, years of PTSD, and addiction to opioids and alcohol whilst 'coping' with grief, resulting in a range of chronic illnesses including a tumour in my throat. I then discovered personalised natural medicine, the associated miracles of the body and power of the mind.
Since then, I have worked tirelessly to teach people all of the things that I learnt about the body's ability to heal itself naturally.
Against all odds, distraught at what I was seeing in the world, I wrote and published The Natural Wellness Journal with Balboa Press in December 2020 after just 2.5 months of writing day and night.
In June 2022, I launched The Wellness Way with Philly J Lay podcast with no knowledge or experience. But despite this, the podcast has had 14 x #1 on Apple Podcast Charts and catapulted into the top 2% globally.
I have been privileged to interview some of my health heroes in natural health on the show, from Zach Bush MD, Dr. Bruce Lipton, and of course, the incredible Barbara O'Neill whom I hosted for my first-ever LIVE in London event on June 11th 2024. More of this next week.
In this nostalgic episode, we go through some of the most popular interviews on the podcast and take a look back at my story from The Wellness Way Fasterclass series.
