The Wellness Glow
Recently, I had the pleasure of having lunch with my friend and fellow Wellness Warrior, Marie Walchle.
As I looked across the table, I couldn’t help but notice that she radiates health—she looks absolutely gorgeous (all that green juice is clearly paying off!).
Cancer: A Blip in the Road
But what struck me even more was her carefree attitude about her diagnosis and prognosis. She says that cancer was just a “minor blip in the road” – you won’t hear that from people who went the conventional route. She also says that she doesn’t fear a recurrence because she is educated and knows there are plenty of effective alternative treatments.
This attitude is due in large part to the alternative route that Marie decided to take. A path that allowed her to heal more gently and without fear.
The Diagnosis
In 2013, Marie was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes. Doctors recommended a mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. But Marie wasn’t convinced that flooding her body with toxic chemicals was the path to true healing.
The Gonzalez Protocol
Instead of traditional treatment, Marie turned to the Gonzalez Protocol, a holistic healing approach developed by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez. She visited the Gonzalez Clinic in New York and never looked back. Her healing regimen included:
✅ Personalized Diet
Lots of fruits & veggies
Fresh juices
No meat
✅ Supplementation
150 pancreatic enzyme pills a day
✅ Detoxification
Coffee enemas (not fun, but effective!)
Lymphatic stimulation
✅ Ongoing Testing
Blood marker monitoring
Hair testing
No scans, no mammograms (no extra radiation that causes cancer)
Fear Is the Enemy
One of my biggest takeaways from our conversation? Fear = Stress. Stress = Disease.
My take-away from this conversation was that we should never fear a cancer diagnosis (or recurrence). Instead, we should arm ourselves with the truth about cancer treatment and believe in our body's ability to heal itself when put into balance.
Unfortunately, the cancer industry and big pharm have instilled fear, making us believe that we must wage an all-out "war" against this disease that entails cutting it out, dousing it with chemicals, and burning it out. Stories like Marie's and Chris Wark help to dispel this fear epidemic. We have to understand that the fear of death is a huge motivator, but fear can spawn rash decisions. Maria says she had a biopsy and bilateral mastectomy, but would not do that if she had to do it over again.
Choose Love, Not Fear
When facing big health decisions: 🙏 Get still 🙏 Go inside 🙏 Say a prayer 🙏 Follow the soulful tugs
Marie, thank you for sharing your wisdom with me—you rock!
Your story is proof that healing doesn’t have to be terrifying. It can be a journey of knowledge, empowerment, and trust in the body’s ability to heal.
Would you take the alternative route if faced with a cancer diagnosis?
