I was 45 years old in 2015 when I went to the emergency room for what I now know were the first symptoms of colon cancer. At the time though, I didn’t know this and the pain in my lower left abdomen and severe constipation was diagnosed just as that and I got sent home. They didn’t do much investigating and told me to go home and book a colonoscopy with my family doctor. Sadly, it would take another five months to get an appointment.

I didn’t know it then, but the cancer was evolving and I was probably already at about stage two at this point. Four months went by and the same thing happened which landed me in the emergency room again. This time, the doctor did a deeper investigation and found a tumor in my belly attached to the colon, bigger than a tennis ball. A week later, I had my first surgery —15 cm of colon along with the tumor were removed. A week after that, the colonoscopy booking department called to make an appointment with me. I told the lady thanks anyway, but it was too late for that.

During the surgery, they found two spots on my liver to where the cancer had spread, but I needed to recover from the first surgery and was in the hospital for two weeks. I knew I needed to make a major lifestyle change. I had been careless; I ate and drank whatever I wanted and didn’t pay attention to my health. I weighed about 100 kg (220 pounds). I ate lots of fatty foods, a high meat diet - consuming at least two steaks every week. I started reading and searching on the internet. After recovering from the first surgery, I started on the Beck Protocol in order to boost my immune system. I also made significant dietary and lifestyle changes.

I was off work on long-term disability so I had time on my hands. I used the pulsed magnetic fields first thing in the morning for more than an hour. Then I drank about 50 ml/day of the Ionic Colloidal Silver. I used the blood electrification daily for two hours. I kept this up for three months solid. I changed to a plant-based diet, went alcohol free and avoided meat for two years. I just recently started to add just a little meat into my diet. My whole family changed their diet along with me.

After the first surgery, I continued to recover. During one of my regular check-ups, the doctor discovered the spot on my liver was growing. They said it also might have spread to my blood. I knew I needed another surgery. My oncologist told me to just wait until I was fully recovered from the first surgery. I was referred to a liver surgeon who said it was imperative to remove the affected areas of my liver as soon as possible. If the whole liver was affected, I would need a transplant.

In the spring of 2016, I had my second surgery. It lasted nine hours, with ten medical staff working on me. Three quarters of my liver and the whole gallbladder was affected. The doctor told me that during the surgery he was chasing every cancer cell he could and believes he got it all. I know I had a really good surgeon; he’d performed more than a thousand liver surgeries and is one of the top surgeons in Canada.

So there I was with this giant cut on my belly, after an exhausting nine-hour surgery. They hooked me up to morphine to kill the pain, but I didn’t want to take it. There was only one day I had morphine and that was it. Normally a recovery from this kind of surgery would take weeks and weeks. But I had boosted my immune system up front by using the Beck Protocol. To the surprise of the doctors, I recovered in 5 DAYS. The doctor told me “Man you are amazing!” He’d never seen anything like it. After the surgery, my body healed so well and the one quarter of my liver, in five weeks had grown back to almost its normal size. It went from 200 g to about 1 kg!

I continued on the Protocol adding in vitamin C infusions. I combined modern medicine with alternative. All this could not be possible if God was not involved. And it started first with me choosing to help myself. I stayed positive and I didn’t blame. I was prepared to die and I’d got all my affairs in order. My family would be taken care of. I told God: “If it’s my time, I’ll go. But I prefer to stay alive for my family. I will do what’s in my power to heal.” I have a younger wife and three young children.

Two months after the liver surgery, I was supposed to have my first chemo in a city five hours south. We were going to leave May 3rd but that was the infamous day our whole community caught on fire, so we had to evacuate further north. There was no way to go south to the city where the appointment was scheduled. At 10pm at night they finally opened the highway and I decided to drive through the fire to get to my chemo in the morning. It took us more than ten hours to get to Edmonton and we just made it.

I had about twelve sessions of chemotherapy for a total of nine months. For the first three months, I didn’t use any units in the Beck Protocol. But then I started taking two ounces daily of the ionic colloidal silver as well as drinking 1.5 liters of ozonated water a day. This gave me so much energy! My tests were clear after the chemo. In January of 2017, I begged the oncologist to let me go back to work after being on disability for a year. I repeat blood tests every three months and a CT scan every six months as well as a colonoscopy once a year. I’ve been cancer-free for almost three years.

If I compare how I feel now to how I was feeling before my diagnosis, I’d have to say that before I generally felt bad. I was tired all the time, overweight, and lethargic. I didn’t pay attention to what I was eating or how I was living. Today I feel so full – I’m happy and grateful. I now weigh 85 kg (187 pounds) and after losing 15 kg (33 pounds) am so full of energy I can’t even begin to tell you. I go to work like I’m flying. The guys there jokingly ask me, “Whatever you are on, we want some!”

I attribute my improved health to five things: Faith in God, positive outlook, alternative devices like the Beck Protocol, changing my diet and lifestyle for a healthier one, and a great oncologist and surgeon. I control what I can and have faith that God will take care of the rest. I couldn’t be who I am today without this happening to me. I believe that I had to go through all this in order to become a better man. I’m a much more caring and compassionate person and full of gratitude. Thank you for all you do.
