Happy New Year! May This Year Be The Best One Ever!!

Happy, Happy New Year!!

The new year is a time for reflection and rejuvenation. It's a time for hope and a time you can open the door to a new beginning. I'm Ann and this is my journey with thyroid cancer.

As I reflect back on 2017, I realize the many hurdles my family has had to jump. We have overcame illness, money issues, and a few personal challenges. But 2017 is coming to an end and my family and I are ready to start fresh in 2018. I truly hope this new year brings happiness into all of our lives.

I know if you're following my page you or someone you know has thyroid cancer. It's a terrible disease and one that has many side effects. My thought is, and always has been, that we have to do whatever we can to help ourselves and leave the rest to the experts. I feel blessed that I have a wonderful team of doctors, but I can't leave my fate totally in their hands. That is why when I heard the Gerson Diet may cure cancer, I decided to follow it. This diet has led me to the vegan, whole food diet that I am presently following, along with juicing daily. I know this isn't for everyone, but I do believe eating whole foods has at least helped to slow down the progression of my disease. I know thyroid cancer can do this on it's own for no reason, but the power of the mind is a wonderful thing, so I choose to believe I have played a hand in healing my illness.

Not long ago, I got to see Dr. Fuhrman speak and am now a fan. The video I'm sharing is less than 10 minutes long and talks about the foods he thinks are important to consume everyday. He calls them GBOMBS - garlic, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds & nuts. He's one of the many people I follow and I have learned a lot from him.

I hope you enjoy the video and I hope 2018 is the best ever! Remember, whatever happened last year, happened last year. Even if you're still going through whatever it is, make a pledge that you will manage it and not let it take any more time away from you than absolutely necessary. You can do it!!

For 2018 and always, wishing you health and happiness!!
