    #7 of the Top Ten Tour: Detoxification, Immune Therapies & Environmental Toxins in Rising Young Adult Cancer | Dr. Tony Jimenez

    Dr. Jimenez cites a 2024 Lancet study reporting a 79% rise in cancer among young adults globally between 1990 and 2019, with a 28% increase in deaths, across 17 cancer types. He attributes this to environmental toxins, obesity, diet, and early-life exposures, and names three top toxicities he targets in treatment: aluminum, glyphosate, and EMF radiation.  He walks through daily detox practices (coffee enemas, shilajit, hydrogen water) and practical EMF-reduction steps (Wi-Fi off at night, phone away from the bed, grounding sheets).  He explains when Hope4Cancer still uses chemo, radiation, or surgery — low-dose IPT chemo for tumor debulking, targeted "spot radiation" for pain control, and stents for obstructions — despite the clinic's non-toxic-first philosophy.  He then details the clinic's "seven key principles," spending the most time on emotional/spiritual health (his upcoming book, Emotions and Cancer, out March 2025) and introduces Davida, a new five-part bioimmunotherapy meant to upregulate the immune system without targeting specific cancer-cell receptors (unlike checkpoint inhibitors such as Opdivo/Keytruda).  Host Jim, a stage IV melanoma survivor, shares his own remission story, and Dr. Jimenez recommends he ask his oncologist about the Signatera circulating-tumor-cell test for ongoing monitoring.

    #8 of the Top Ten Tour: Confronting Stage Four Prostate Cancer Through Faith & Holistic Healing | David & Kathi Peters

    Part of the Top 10 Tour: 100K Strong When David Peters was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer, he and his wife Kathi made an immediate decision: go all-natural. As professional filmmakers, they're now documenting their own healing journey — including treatment at Hope4Cancer in Mexico, biological dentistry to remove mercury amalgams, and the RGCC ("Greek") test that pinpoints which supplements are actually working. Recorded live at Healing Strong's 10th anniversary conference in Houston, this conversation covers the fear of going against an oncologist's orders, the emotional toll (and unexpected gift) of a diagnosis, why community is essential on a healing journey, and what it means to choose to heal rather than fight. David and Kathi also share how their upcoming documentary aims to answer the three questions every newly diagnosed person asks: Can I do it? How do I do it? Will it help me? This episode originally aired as part of our regular series and is being re-shared as one of the most-loved conversations from the I Am Healing Strong podcast archive.

    #9 of the Top Ten Tour: Healing Advanced Cancer Through Holistic Approaches | Dr. Francisco Contreras, Oasis of Hope Clinic

    What if healing depends as much on your mindset and spirit as it does on your treatment plan? In this episode, host Jim Mann sits down with Dr. Francisco Contreras, who is the director, president, and chairman of Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. He talks about his new book, The Art and Science of Undermining Cancer.  Dr. Contreras shares the philosophical foundations his father built the hospital on 60 years ago, explains where chemotherapy and immunotherapy each earn their place in treatment, and dives into cutting-edge developments like dendritic cell vaccines and CAR T-cell therapy. But the heart of this conversation is bigger than protocols: it's about fear, faith, and why Dr. Contreras believes every improved outcome, big or small, is a miracle that has to be maintained. Jim also shares more of his own stage-four melanoma journey and how his mindset shifted after diagnosis. HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

    #10 of the Top Ten Tour: Stage 4 Prostate Cancer & the Unexpected Blessings | Brad and Becky Corley

    Summary: Brad Corley was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer (Gleason 9) on December 10, 2021 — one day after retiring from a 38-year career. After bone scans and consultation with a New Orleans oncologist, the cancer was deemed metastatic and incurable but treatable; doctors gave him a 3-7 year outlook. Brad and his wife Becky had already begun shifting toward healthier living before the diagnosis, and immediately doubled down — adopting a raw, plant-based diet and daily carrot juicing (inspired by Chris Beat Cancer/Square One) starting just two days after the diagnosis. Brad underwent hormone therapy and surgery through an MD Anderson clinical trial. Over two and a half years, he dropped from about 240 to about 170 pounds, regained energy, and his oncologist reportedly told him he shows no evidence of disease. The couple credits their faith, gratitude practice, and community support — they started a Healing Strong group in Mobile, Alabama, with around 12-15 regular members, many of whom don't have cancer but joined proactively. The episode closes with their message to newly diagnosed listeners: lean on faith, build a supportive community, and pursue lifestyle changes alongside medical treatment. HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

    142: The Lymphatic System: Your Body's Hidden Healing Network | Dr. Jennifer Gramith

    Naturopathic doctor Jennifer Gramith joins Jim to demystify the lymphatic system — a network most people only associate with cancer surgery and lymph node removal. She explains how the lymphatic system serves as the body's primary filtration and immune defense, why a "congested" lymph system contributes to fatigue, allergies, and chronic illness, and how assisted lymphatic therapy works to clear blockages and calm the nervous system. The conversation also covers her own background moving from conventional nursing to naturopathic practice, real patient stories involving lymphedema and cancer recovery, and her perspective on addressing emotional trauma as part of the healing process. HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

    141: When the Doctor Runs Out of Options, You Find New Ones. Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer | Melissa Rausch

    Melissa Rausch of Simi Valley, California, was diagnosed in 2019 with triple-positive breast cancer, one of the more aggressive types, and did everything her doctors told her to do.  She endured 16 weeks of hard chemo, hospitalizations, a lumpectomy with unclear margins, and radiation with severe side effects. Then in November 2020, the cancer spread to her bones and her oncologist said the word she wasn't ready to accept: terminal.  Instead of giving up, Melissa said "with all due respect" and started knocking on other doors. She dove into books, found holistic practitioners, overhauled her diet overnight, and eventually connected with Chris Wark's Square One program and the Healing Strong community.  Through a dual path of faith, integrative care, and persistent self-advocacy, including fighting her own oncologist to return to a treatment that had actually worked. Melissa is now in complete remission. She co-founded and now leads the HealingStrong group in Simi Valley, praying for each member by name daily.

    140: I Would Rather Fall Into God's Hands,Triple-negative breast cancer | Jutta Thorsness

    Jutta Thorsness, a German-born Idaho resident and Healing Strong group leader, shares the winding journey that led to her triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis It began with sleepless nights caring for her ailing mother overseas, a mysterious lump on her ribcage, and a German healthcare system that wanted her in chemo before she could ask a question. Jutta shares how she declined all three oncologists who fear-mongered and patronized. Instead, she followed God's leading through high-dose IV vitamin C, ozone therapy, fenbendazole, and most dramatically, the removal of four severely infected root canals that a Portland specialist said contained pathogen levels so aggressive that chemo could have killed her. She also opens up about the spiritual roots of her illness, the work of forgiving her aunt, and how God spent eight months teaching her to replace fear with His Word. After a third surgery declared her cancer-free, Jutta now leads her local Healing Strong group and teaches others how to ward off the spirit of fear.

    139: 17 Years Without a Diagnosis; Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Sjögren's Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome | Ashleigh Lindemann

    Ashleigh Lindemann spent 17 years in pain before anyone could tell her why. Starting at age 15 with what turned out to be endometriosis, she navigated misdiagnoses, eight prescription medications out of Cleveland Clinic, and 17 surgeries, including the hip surgery that finally uncovered the answer hiding in plain sight. Refusing to accept a lifetime on Cymbalta and Neurontin, Ashleigh took the slow, determined road toward natural healing — and eventually found PEMF therapy (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy), a technology she describes as earthing and grounding "on steroids." Now the owner of Pulse for Life LLC in Post Falls, Idaho, Ashleigh uses PEMF, red light therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen to help clients reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and give their cells the energy God designed them to run on.
