98: Thyroid Cancer and Healing Holistically for Husband & Wife | Eric and Debbie Emms03 Sep 202400:36:12

Eric and Debbie Emms, HealingStrong Group Leaders, share their incredible journey of faith, holistic healing, and dedication to a plant-based lifestyle. When Debbie's father was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer, they observed the world of conventional treatments, while searching for alternatives. Debbie turned to Ty Bollinger's "The Truth About Cancer," setting the couple on a path to explore holistic healing. 

Initially met with skepticism by Eric to change his nutrition happened to all change when he overheard  a portion of the documentary "Game Changers" that Debbie was watching. This shift became a critical support system when Eric himself faced a health crisis with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Hear how their deepened faith in God and their commitment to dietary changes not only helped them navigate these difficult times, but also provided invaluable lessons in resilience and hope.

Finally, Eric and Debbie's journey didn't stop at their personal healing. Inspired to give back, they established a support group to assist others on similar paths through the organization HealingStrong.

Listen as they discuss the challenges and rewards of a healing community and the massive action taken to benefit from the power of diet and lifestyle changes. Their experience with HealingStrong, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting, supporting, and educating individuals facing cancer, brings hope to the listener. 

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.

88: Transforming Tragedy into a Cancer Healing Oasis for the Whole Family | Dave Vass21 May 202400:35:33

When Dave Vass's world was impacted by the cancer of those around him, it began a journey of deeper faith and passion towards helping others heal. As a tech entrepreneur transformed into a visionary for alternative health, Dave's journey is not just his own. His story, which involves personal loss and an evaluation on the medical system, left him wanting to help those who have felt the weight of a diagnosis and yearned for more than just conventional treatments. Our heartfelt conversation in this episode traverses these deeply personal waters, as we uncover the profound impact of cancer on personal perspectives and the immense need for proactive healing communities.

Imagine a place where the stillness of nature meets the cutting edge of cancer-fighting protocols—a sanctuary in the heart of British Columbia, born from loss, a leading from the Lord and a passion for genuine healing for others. Dave Vass guides us through the transformation of scenic woodlands into a tranquil retreat that offers peace and strength to those in the throes of battling cancer.

Each episode we aim to uplift and empower, and this conversation with Dave is a testament to that mission. Together, we shed light on the HealingStrong organization, a beacon for those navigating the overwhelming journey of health challenges. It stands as a reminder that amidst the trials, one is never truly alone—the warmth of community and shared experiences can be a vital lifeline. We wrap up with an invitation to join the collective journey towards wellness, whether through finding a local group, online resources, or simply by extending a hand to those in need.

87: Healing Secrets of Apricot Seeds and Laetrile Therapy | John Richardson14 May 202400:41:00

John Richardson (President of Richardson Nutritional Center), an advocate for nutritional therapy and a true believer in the science of Laetrile, brings hope, and deep dives into the heart of natural health and Biblical wisdom. Together, we peel back the layers surrounding the controversial amygdalin derivative and its role in cancer therapy, challenging long-held misconceptions and offering a fresh perspective on what it means to harness nature's gifts for our well-being.

The discussion reaches beyond our hosts personal experience and into the realm of science, where Laetrile, often termed vitamin B17, is met with skepticism from the medical and media arenas. With a collection of recovery stories and a critical look at the myths tied to its cyanide content, the discussion covers a side that's seldom told—one that's rooted in both empirical evidence and a profound respect for the ancient texts that guide us. As John shares the journey of his father, a pioneering doctor who documented seventy cancer recoveries with Laetrile, we're reminded of the transformative power of faith and the potential locked within the humble apricot seed.

Wrapping up this episode is a heartfelt introduction to HealingStrong, an organization  that offers resources, community, and support for anyone navigating the undesired path of cancer or other diseases. The importance of diet, the benefits of vitamins found in apricot seeds, and the ways in which we can all support our bodies' natural defenses are discussed. This conversation is more than an exchange of ideas; it's an invitation to look beyond conventional, and embrace the strength found in community, and to walk a path of hope and healing.

86: Overcoming Stress & Illness through Faithful Obedience | Earlene Irving07 May 202400:32:11

Over the past three decades, Earlene Irving has weathered life's storms without a single visit to the doctor, a feat she credits to her steadfastness to biblical principles, both in diet and daily living. Our conversation with Earlene isn't just an exploration of organic foods and clean living; it's a deep look into how her conversational relationship with God has anchored her through life's unrest. Her story discusses the understated yet powerful role of stress management and the comfort found in moments of quiet reflection, offering peace in a broken world.

Discovering Earlene's personal narrative, we navigate the intersection of obedience, faith, and healing. Confronted with a severe illness, she faced the brink of despair but found her compass in her faith, which guided her back to health. This episode exemplifies how the trials that test our faith can also deepen it, illustrating the biblical tale of Naaman as a parallel to our modern struggles with health and obedience. Listeners will find great comfort in Earlene's testament to the power of unwavering faith and the courage to seek wisdom, even when it defies conventional logic.

Finally, we highlight the incredible work of HealingStrong, the non-profit that Earlene champions. This organization's mission resonates throughout our discussion—providing hope, community, and resources for those on the healing path. Earlene's invitation to join the HealingStrong group in North Carolina extends beyond our discussion. This episode is more than a podcast; it's a vessel carrying messages of empowerment and the indescribable connection of how faith, health, and community support can carry one through even the darkest of times.

85: Severe Hydrocephalus in Utero & A Mother's Faith Despite the Medical Challenges | Jessica Cohen30 Apr 202400:37:56

When Jessica (Jessi) Cohen's routine ultrasound revealed a reality no parent should ever confront—her unborn baby, diagnosed with severe hydrocephalus and missing brain parts—their story took a turn towards the extraordinary. This episode invites you to walk alongside Jessi as she recounts the anguish and hope that defined her journey from that life-altering diagnosis to witnessing her daughter, Naysa Angélica's (her name means miracle of God, messenger of God), astonishing defiance of medical expectations. Through this conversation we discover a mother's undying faith and the deep strength she drew from it amidst the toughest decisions a parent could face.

Navigating a path seeped with medical opinions that often echoed hopelessness, Jessi's story sheds light on the often-clinical detachment and the contrasting support through select healthcare specialists. Her high-risk pregnancy, marked by anxiety-inducing consultations and a prenatal supplement discovery, Jessi will not just touch your heart, but also testify to the profound impact of faith. Every update, every doctor's visit, and the eventual emergency C-section—a moment of crisis enveloped in prayer and song—reminds us of the immeasurable depths of God's grace in life's toughest times.

We end this episode by sharing in the joy of Naysa Angélica's progress, a living testament to the miraculous health, found in God our Healer. Jessi's story doesn't end with a miraculous birth; it's an ongoing victory of overcoming the odds, from Naysa's achievements in crawling and speaking to the prospect of a bright future. And for those seeking support on their own healing journeys, we share the hope found in HealingStrong—a faith-based cancer and disease support community that embodies the very essence of hope and empowerment, reminding us all that even amidst life's greatest trials, we are never alone.

We know this episode will bless you!

Discover strength, faith, and culinary passion as we're joined by Jill Sonlin, a two time cancer survivor whose life story defies the odds. Jill received an early stage breast cancer in 2017, and in 2022 received an aggressive Non Hodgkins Lymphoma diagnosis. Jill's story is one of unshakeable belief and divine intervention, with her career as a nurse evolving into a remarkable journey as a French-trained chef. Her resilience not only carried her through the darkest of times, but also ignited a fervent dedication to health, wellness, and the nourishment of others.

Imagine facing the depths of illness only to be touched by a sense of peace so profound it reshapes your entire being. That is the essence of Jill's near-death experiences, which we uncover in an emotionally rich discussion.

Pivoting toward the collective journey of healing, we spotlight HealingStrong, a nonprofit organization that Jill champions. HealingStrong's mission is to embolden those seeking to reclaim their health, providing a sanctuary for connection, support, and education grounded in the belief that healing is not just possible, but achievable. Through local and online groups, HealingStrong spreads the message that in togetherness and faith, we can rise above adversity.

When the storm clouds of breast cancer loomed on the horizon, Lisa Simmons found her beacon of hope in the form of faith and a community that stands strong together. In a heartfelt episode, Lisa takes us through the twists and turns of her cancer journey, discussing the pivotal role played by her support system, including an oncology navigator friend and HealingStrong, a holistic cancer support group where she serves as a co-leader in the North Dallas, Texas area. Her story is a testament to the power of informed decisions, patience, and the solace found in faith, offering a guiding light to those who might feel adrift in similar choppy waters.

Strumming the strings of nostalgia, we reflect on the melodies that have been our life's soundtrack, from the familial echoes of guitars and mandolins to the first bass guitar that sparked a fire within us.

The conversation is an open invitation to you too, to discover the melodies and lyrics that lie dormant in your own life experiences, awaiting your creative touch to bring them to life.

Bridging the gap between songwriting and natural healing, this episode opens up about the cathartic process of transforming life's moments into music or poetry.

We continue in part 2 with Linda Murphy, a registered holistic nutritionist, shedding light on the profound influence of gut health.

We're not just talking about avoiding upset stomachs—this episode reveals how a balanced gut microbiome is your shield against inflammation and autoimmune diseases. It's an insightful look at the intricate dance between our internal flora and our well-being, and trust me, you'll want to know the steps.

As we wade through the often misunderstood waters of detoxification, Linda guides us through our body's natural defenses, like mucus and fever, and poses an intriguing perspective on common flu-like symptoms. Could they be a sign of internal cleansing rather than illness? We'll also touch on the emotional threads that weave through our digestive health, underscoring the impact stress can have on our thyroid and adrenal health. With practical tips on combating unwelcome guests like parasites and Candida, this episode is brimming with natural remedies and dietary advice to support your body's detoxification process.

Finally, we turn our attention to the power of community in the healing process. Linda highlights how HealingStrong, a nonprofit organization, is creating a lifeline for individuals grappling with cancer and other diseases.

74: The Crucial Link Between Gut Health and Disease Management Part 1 | Linda Murphy23 Jan 202400:32:25

Have you ever considered the intricate dance between your gut health and your overall wellness? Linda Murphy, a registered holistic nutritionist, returns to our show to illuminate the significant, yet often unheralded, connection between gut health and various diseases. With a holistic lens sharpened by personal health battles, including a cancer diagnosis, Linda unpacks the cascade of issues that follow the use of protein pump inhibitors and the critical nature of maintaining a healthy gut for nutrient absorption. Her insights extend to her work with HealingStrong, where she aids others in navigating their health journeys with the support of this empowering community.

Feeling the weight of stress on your shoulders and your stomach? This episode shines a light on how stress isn't just a mental burden—it physically diverts blood flow from your digestive system, hindering your ability to absorb crucial nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and B12. We open up about the emotional facets of stress management and their direct impact on the success of healthy lifestyle habits. Linda Murphy also helps us unravel the common misconceptions about acid reflux, explaining that low stomach acid is frequently the true culprit, not the excess we often blame.

And when it comes to maintaining strong bones, it seems digestion plays a lead role in this bodily performance. We share personal tales and revelations regarding acid reflux, diet, and stress, while offering actionable advice to enhance digestion—like the simple but effective practice of diaphragm breathing before meals. Through thoughtful eating, mindful living, and aligning with supportive networks like Healing Strong, this episode is a treasure trove of strategies to improve not just digestive health, but our overall vitality. Join us for a deep exploration into how minor lifestyle changes can elicit major wellness wins.

Gel (Angelica) and her husband promptly brought her 2015 diagnosis up to the Lord and He led them to a path that involved implementing a better lifestyle; employing non-conventional therapies; uplifting the soul; collaborating with integrative practitioners; and partnering with praying friends that surround us with positivity. HealingStrong is Gel’s answered prayer and so she is dedicating this ministry to all that may be encouraged and have a closer relationship with the Healer.⁣

Mary was introduced to Suzy and HealingStrong in 2014 as her husband Nigel was fighting colon cancer. Mary and Nigel recognized the benefit of going beyond conventional treatment to include Spiritual and Emotional healing, dietary changes and realizing that Hope is a huge strategy when battling chronic diseases. Mary joined the HealingStrong Family as a leader in Houston in 2016 and is a Regional mentor. The Houston group is the longest running HealingStrong group. Mary’s focus is on ensuring that each person going through a cancer journey has a Village of support, Hope, Faith, & Love.

94: Colon Cancer & Conventional Treatments to Whole Food Healing | Alison Sabino06 Aug 202400:34:56

A HealingStrong Group Leader, Alison Sabino, shares her painful yet inspiring journey through cancer treatment and holistic healing. Ali opens up about her chemotherapy side effects, and the profound and pivotal moment she decided to stop traditional treatment. It will bring tears to your eyes. 

Ali begins by sharing waking up on her 50th birthday, only to be rushed to the emergency room with excruciating abdominal pain. Ali recalls the shock when she received her cancer diagnosis, because she mentions not having any family history of colon cancer and how she led an active lifestyle.

Ali's story is a testament to the power of faith and holistic approaches. Ali went all in by adopting a whole food, plant-based raw diet and juicing, which brought significant improvements to her health in just ten days. With unwavering support from her husband, who embraced these lifestyle changes alongside her, Ali emphasizes the importance of kindness, compassion, and a strong will to live. We pray this episode blessed you and encourages you to continue your healing journey, and to get connected to a community who will walk alongside you. HealingStrong, a non-profit organization offers just that. We support individuals walking through a cancer diagnosis or chronic illness and provide resources for those facing such illnesses.

54: Examine Your Healing Journey with Matt Krug26 Jun 202300:38:22

In March 2022, Matt Krug was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer.

In light of this new awareness, Matt has taken new measures to address the mind, body, and spirit in his healing journey.

50: God's Perfect Timing with Holle Knowles29 May 202300:42:07

Holle is a HealingStrong friend and currently a therapeutic instructor. Holle was integral in helping shape the structure of HealingStrong, which in part, helps in guiding group leaders with policies, procedures and processes. She came into therapeutic movement through the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® in 2005 with an injury. Beginning a GYROTONIC® apprenticeship at Body-n-Balance in Alpharetta, Georgia, she began to teach while rehabilitating her shoulder.⁣

She is certified as a Gyrokinesis instructor and a Pre-Trainer authorized to teach students beginning on their own path to instructorship.   ⁣

Holle attended her first therapeutic course with Paul Horvath and Uwe Herbstreit in 2007, and the direction of her work refined towards holistic, comprehensive resolution of bio-mechanical pain patterns.  In working with people struggling through chronic pain, she recognized a frequent connection to situations of stress and backgrounds of trauma. Combining the beauty of art and nature, the kinship of supportive people, and the empowerment of movement, she started facilitating retreats for women to restore hope and foster healing.⁣

To more fully help people bridge the divide between movement potential and current restrictions, Holle gained her licensed massage therapist designation in 2020, and shortly after began personal mentorship under 5 time Olympic team massage therapist Benny Vaughn.

49: A Breast Cancer Vacation with Gayle Williams22 May 202300:37:05

Gayle is a new HealingStrong Group Leader for Kentucky and a breast cancer thriver! In July of 2019, she was blindsided with an invasive ductal carcinoma diagnosis. She had known for years that if she was to ever be diagnosed with cancer, she would not do the conventional chemotherapy, radiation, surgery. She had heard about alternative treatments when her mom was going through a cancer journey in 2015, so after her own diagnosis, she decided to spend time in prayer and get direction from the Lord, so the first week after my diagnosis that is what she did. No research, just time in God’s Word and in prayer while spending time with her family on vacation. She rewatched a cancer series, where she heard about Chris Wark, and from Chris Wark, heard about HealingStrong. She got on the HealingStrong website and searched for a group and knew this was an organization that she would be connected with for years. What Gayle loves about HealingStrong is the community and the individual relationships. It’s a place where you know you can trust being heard and understood without criticism. Gayle says, “We all have a different journey to walk through, and the goal is to get all the information we can and seek God for the direction we need for our individual healing.”

Rob and Rachel are group leaders in the HealingStrong community!  After Rob became a stage 4 prostate cancer thriver, they heard about HealingStrong and knew this is where God has led them to serve. Deciding to treat Rob's cancer without surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy turned Rob's cancer journey into their new hobby! Learning about holistic therapies, diet changes, fasting, and following God's direction, gave Rob the miracle healing of no evidence of disease in 2021. This healing has given them purpose and the opportunity to make sure others know about the HealingStrong community and that they are not alone.

46: Cancer, Corporate & the HealingStrong Curriculum with Betty Roush01 May 202300:35:01

In October of 2013, Betty received a diagnosis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.  Her diagnosis was Watch and Wait or Stage 0, so the doctor was not threatening me with treatments. Her doctor did say, he expected Betty to need treatment in 8 years - in 2021. Betty took that as a challenge to prove him wrong!  In 2021 and still today, her numbers are the same as they were upon diagnosis.


God had been leading Betty to watch things like Forks over Knives, Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat to Live on PBS and Super Juice Me a year before her diagnosis. She had been experimenting with vegan meals and in May 2013 had stopped eating sugar based on what she had been learning.  When she received her diagnosis, she knew that she had to change her diet, which she states gave her peace and comfort, in having this control over her situation and in fact, helped her better handle her diagnosis. She then studied everything she could get her hands on.


Betty was a HealingStrong group leader in Albuquerque starting in 2018 until she moved to Colorado in 2021. She co-led a group in Colorado Springs that she is now, the full-time group leader of.

45: Finding Freedom from Addiction with Nancianne Kirkpatrick24 Apr 202300:48:59

Nancianne was brought up in a poverty-stricken home, riddled with substance abuse, never knowing Christ. After 18 years of substance abuse, divorce, and reckless living, she found herself in jail, where she got near a Bible. God met Nancianne on her knees in that jail cell and her life has never been the same! He took her addictions and gave her a new Spirit. A Spirit of life, truth and the longing to obey God's Word. Unbelievable transformation has occurred in Nancianne since the day God took her addictions and welcomed her into His beautiful family. God has reconciled her marriage, put children in the barren woman's house, restored relationships with family, healed her from crippling anxiety and dyslexia, and given her overwhelming peace and joy. How great is our God! God has placed a call on Nancianne's heart to be an advocate for people in jail and struggling with addiction. She strives to lead by example through healthy eating, exercise, education, and most importantly maintaining a close relationship with God. She volunteers for HealingStrong on the Prayer Team and for the Isaiah 61.1 Project as a mentor to people in jail.
