I take a holistic approach to health care, that means mind, body and spirit.
As a journalist with a natural health background, I researched my own conditions. I made choices based on facts, intuition and my individualized needs. The standard protocol of so-called modern medicine to cut, poison and burn is against my beliefs and intelligence.
It has been over ten years since I was faced with invasive stage 3b DCIS

I made a routine of walking, yoga, deep breathing, epsom salt baths, massage therapy, and acupuncture to help with circulation and detoxification. Quality sleep and relaxation is essential too; the body cannot heal in an anxious state.
Research shows the healing benefits of Chiropractic adjustments. Keeping the spine aligned reduces mental and physical stress, and helps the brain and nervous system communicate to our organs.
A diet free of processed foods and SUGAR, and filled with healthy fat and protein is key.
Life changes are often required. I left an unhealthy relationship with my ex-husband and moved to Florida for increased sunshine and reduced stress.
I believe God gave us all we need in nature. Case in point are the Benefits of Vitamin D
If I don’t get enough, I take a natural vitamin D supplement.
I said no, repeatedly, to mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, mammography and pharmaceutical drugs.
Carrie Ann Salvi
Instead, I chose remedies recommended by respected doctors and brave journalists who researched cures not acknowledged by modern medical systems. Many are now revealed in this documentary series.
Ty and Charlene Bollinger
Research clearly shows that both Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) prevents cancer cells from spreading and stop blood supply to tumors.
I can attest to the side benefits too, which include relief from the anxiety of the diagnosis.
Carrie Ann Salvi
I used a THC topical gel for nerve and muscle pain and healing.
Cancer killers I used topically include frankincense and myrrh essential oils, which also ease the emotional aspects of any disease.

Love how you put this together and continue to be a force of information and your TRUTH.
I look forward to sharing this with everyone who crosses my healing path and needs to be enlightened on the simplicity of taking charge of your life through being informed about our bodies and earths great, natural
Gifts of healing. Love you & your beautiful, intelligent heart & soul my dear CarrieAnn
Hi Helen. I did not share my specific regimen because it changes a lot and I believe each body is different. I use applied kinesiology (muscle testing) each day. Some supplements stay the same every day, some depend on what I eat, my stress level, whether I have had sunlight, etc.
What is your specific regiment like? How much of each supplement do u take. Happy for you that u remain healthy.
Love this!!!!!! great to find someone like minded!!! I
was diagnosed similar to you May 2013 and I have refused all conventional treatment I did a most of what you have been doing for a year but it got very expensive and now i just do the Budwig diet and I am doing really well
Thanks for sharing what you learn and experience.

Hi Carrie. I remember you from Lindenhurst, I came across your facebook page and then found your blog. Praying for your health and healing. Your blog is super inspirational and also very interesting reading. Wishing you peace and healing.
FINALLY got around to checking out your blog: I’m so proud of you and your commitment to yourself and helping others who are too overwhelmed or not as knowledgeable. Good work, Carrie! You are an inspiration and an Earth Angel! Hope to see you over the holidays. XO
Keep up the work. You WILL succeed. I managed my own recovery as well. See: http://prostatecancerfight.org/. A Plant Based Lifestyle coupled with a moderate exercise (I did yoga and walking) is great. I love that you are naturally increasing your vitamin D levels; supplements can augment this as well. Check out Ellagic Insurance Formula as well as a great supplement and immune system boost (http://wholefoods4healthyliving.com/health_products/ellagic_acid.html). I get appricot kernals from Hunza Gold (http://www.b17.com.au )..
Call me for questions or email me at the web site address.
Love you!
Hey Rachel,
I got muscle tested (AK) and green tea showed as bad for me?! I don’t know why. I may get retested but for now I’m leaving it out. Thanks for the support 🙂
Carrie
I do not see green tea on your list… what has your research shown about tea? I too chose the alternative route, and so far have great success with it… Prayers being sent to you…positive attitude is so instrumental, and it certainly sounds like you have a great attitude!
