Dedication
This book is dedicated primarily to the Brillhart family — Paul, Kristy, and Christian. Without their love, hope, support, and encouragement, I truly don’t know where I would be today. God brought them into our lives at just the right time, and I will be forever thankful.
It’s also dedicated to my wife, Morgan, who was a pillar of support during the darkest season of my life. Through this, our marriage became much stronger as we focused on unconditional love as well as our relationship with the Lord. She encouraged, helped, motivated, and, at times, convicted me to step out in faith.
I’m also forever thankful for the support of my five kids. My prayer is that I will become a better husband, father, and pastor because of their unconditional support. We are trusting God all the way to the finish line.
Brief Introduction
When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I was amazed at the environment of negativity and fear that encompassed most medical facilities. Not to mention all the well-meaning people who offered tons of advice regarding “what I should be doing” — it was truly overwhelming.
And when YouTube removed my announcement about my diagnosis because I dared to use the word “alternatives,” I said, “Game on!” Their censorship, along with my diagnosis, awakened a renewed fire … a renewed passion for God, truth, faith, trust, and perseverance. For more, listen here to the first sermon I gave after my diagnosis: Lessons Learned Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
The process of fighting cancer can be a roller coaster ride of emotions based on opinions, options, scans, MRIs, and assessments. I would get excited if the lymph node was decreasing in size, and then dread the day when it felt larger.
From denial to acceptance, there are emotional stages when you hear the word “cancer.” Acceptance doesn’t mean retreating into fear; instead, it says, “Here’s what’s going on, and here’s how I’m going to fight it.” For this reason, I have put together this short booklet.
My prayer is that you take these suggestions to the Lord and seek Him for direction. And please share this with those who need to be uplifted and inspired to take back their health.
I’m also putting together a booklet, The Dark Night of the Soul, that focuses on weathering the heavy storms that hit all of us. You can read an excerpt here.
Key: God’s Got This
Depending on where you’re at in your journey, it’s normal to experience fear and anxiety. Take a breath, slow down, and remember that God has got this. Surrender everything to Him.
It’s also important to focus on others and not yourself. Pray, “Lord, how can I help others during this journey?” Maybe, like me, you’ll write a book or compose a blog, or share your story to help others. Purpose brings peace as well as motivation … motivation to persevere.
The first week after my diagnosis was touch-and-go. I was highly emotional, fearful, and anxious. During this time, I was often reminded of King Asa, who did not seek help from God, but only from his physicians (cf. 2 Chronicles 16:12).
I made seeking God my main priority, and the more I sought Him, the more I found Him. And He will do the same for you. (See Jeremiah 29:13). I would also encourage you to incorporate a season of fasting as soon as possible so you can seek the heart of God. More help on fasting here.
This can be an incredible turning point in your life, both spiritually and physically. Don’t waste the pain. It’s often only when we hit rock bottom that we turn to the Rock at the bottom (Jesus).
A Journey Rather Than a Destination
The information I’m sharing comes from medical journals, studies, doctors, and organizations such as Oasis of Hope, which employs highly trained doctors, including oncologists. They view health from a holistic approach, combining functional and traditional medicines. Many of them are Christians.
But be prepared: Fighting cancer and disease can be expensive. Consider setting up a GoFundMe account or taking other financial measures. But don’t worry: God will meet you right where you’re at. He doesn’t need you to do anything; He wants you to trust in Him.
You + God are better than all of the supplements, treatments, and biohacks combined.
Remember, this is a journey, and answers often don’t come right away. As a pastor, I’ve seen God heal people through conventional therapy, and I have seen countless people healed when God led them to alternatives. I’ve seen God heal impossible situations, and I’ve witnessed Him call His saints home.
Ultimately, all of us must bow our knee to God’s sovereignty and trust in Him. Jesus is the Great Physician. A good friend recently reminded me, “We do what we can in the natural, and trust Him with the supernatural.”

They Don’t Know What They Don’t Know
The sad reality is that nine times out of ten, most physicians will discourage you from alternative therapies. But I don’t blame them — that’s all they’ve been taught. As one very skilled doctor told me, “They don’t know what they don’t know.”
There are oncologists, doctors, and specialists who endorse what I’m about to share with you, but, as with all things, there are also skeptics. The key for me is to look at creation and design. How did God create us and design our immune system?
I love physicians. I have friends and members of our church who are in the medical field — we need them. But unfortunately, many in the secular world look through the lens of evolution and completely miss the connection to God.
Additionally, many doctors who are well-versed in conventional and alternative therapies tell me that the medical industry is about 20 years behind the curve, and much of what today’s physicians recommend is now obsolete. Did you catch that? Wow.
Even oncologists have privately shared that, although they agree with many of the alternative solutions, they can’t say anything for fear of losing their license. How sad.
Remember when fasting was bad, but smoking was okay? Remember when fat was bad, but highly processed, chemical-laden, low-fat products were good? Remember when type 2 diabetes patients were told that there’s nothing more they can do? That’s not true. Changing their lifestyle is key to fighting type 2 diabetes.
I can keep going, but I think you get the picture. We must take back our health and steward it correctly.
Listen to the Right Voice — Waiting vs. Rushing
As we begin, keep in mind that all healing comes from God. We cannot trust in pills, potions, formulas, or protocols. Again, I believe that God wants us to take care of our bodies, and will bless that decision; He created natural medicines for healing. (See Revelation 22:2 and Ezekiel 47:12.)
Are you aware that many medications are derived from nature? From metformin, which originated from a French lilac, to rapamycin, which was discovered in the soil on Easter Island, natural remedies are everywhere, including alternatives for cancer.
There are times, however, when God may use conventional therapy and surgery. Once more, the key is to seek Him for wisdom and direction. This is my most important point and the one that most people overlook: You must hear His voice above all other voices.
Don’t react in fear; respond with trust. He’s brought you this far, and He’ll bring you the whole way home. Yes, there were times when I was confused and didn’t know what to do; times when I was truly paralyzed.
What did I do? I slowed down and sought Him. I prayed and then stepped out in faith, trusting that He would lead me. One example (I don’t recommend this because each situation is different) was when a doctor recommended a PET scan stat.
He wanted to jump on this ASAP (and from his perspective, it was a good idea). But God had other plans that were so clear they were hard to miss. I was scheduled to fly out of state, so I had to delay the scan for 10 days.
I’d rather make a decision with peace than be pushed into something that I may later regret. I’m actually writing this section during this waiting time, and there is great peace.
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to over the years who said that they would’ve done things differently had they not been rushed and pushed into making decisions.
But again, and I really want to get this point across: Early detection and diagnosis of cancer are wise. The sooner you know what you’re up against, the sooner you can combat it. In all honesty, I should’ve looked into mine months earlier when a swollen lymph node wasn’t decreasing in size.
If you have to make quick decisions, simply trust God and step out in faith. Overcome worry with worship.
We Must Be ALL In
Many people use some of the items listed in the following section, but they often take lower dosages than the therapeutic levels needed for optimal results when dealing with cancer and hitting it hard. For example, taking a few scoops of vitamin C daily is great, but it’s nothing compared to 50 grams administered intravenously.
By the way, it’s not realistic to take a few supplements and experience good health without changing your lifestyle — from food to fitness, and from thankfulness to fruitfulness — it ALL matters. It’s a calculated assault against cancer.
For this reason, I encourage you to find an “Integrative Functional Medicine” doctor, if possible, who will work with your budget. IFM physicians look at everything from conventional treatments to natural healing. It’s a whole-body approach that considers God’s design as well as medical breakthroughs.
Granted, it can be very challenging to find a physician (I currently don’t have anyone local that I’m working with), and accessing supplements can also be challenging. But thank God that we have the Great Physician at our disposal. Even if you can’t access anything, you can still access everything (God).
To attack cancer, we need a FULL-ON assault. An initial consultation with an integrative specialist, when possible, is needed to determine the proper approach for each specific diagnosis.
Unfortunately, I can’t recommend anyone at this time, nor can I recommend where to obtain prescriptions for some of the items listed on the following pages. But over the years, friends as well as physicians, have recommended The Wellness Company, and Dr. Peter McCullough.
For supplements, many experts recommend LifeExtension.org for its quality controls. Pure Encapsulations, Thorne, and Metagenics are also recommended companies. We should research supplements before purchasing (especially on Amazon), as Harvard Health Publishing points out here.
Moreover, institutions like Oasis of Hope that I mentioned earlier are ideal for those who need to get away for a few weeks for deep healing in a supportive environment that offers everything from surgery to supplements. A healthy, hope-filled environment is absolutely essential. (More information here, and their book is available here.)
I’ve also heard good things about Hope-4-Cancer. At the time of this writing, both organizations appear to be good resources for those needing additional help.
As we continue, always remember that nothing is guaranteed. Only God has the final say. His sovereignty is your sanity.
Building the Army
You can find information that will discredit the information that I’m about to share with you. Still, these groups are often hypocritical. For example, they’ll tell you that these things don’t work, but then on another page from a medical journal, they will tell you how they work to fight cancer, but they also have to mention chemotherapy and radiation, or the medical industry will come after them.
As just one example, countless medical journals discuss the enormous benefits of intravenous vitamin C therapy and hyperbaric oxygen chambers as long as you use them in addition to “conventional therapy.” They don’t want you using natural alternatives outside of their protocol. Whether their motives are control, pride, money, pressure, or a lack of knowledge, I really don’t know. It’s probably a combination of all of them.
There is a protocol that the medical industry must follow called conventional therapy. Anything that deviates from the path of radiation and chemotherapy is considered dangerous. And trust me, doctors do not like being challenged.
However, there may be a time for conventional treatment in moderation, but we must be careful and wise. Cancer cells are smart and can become resistant to chemotherapy. Additionally, cancer stem cells are not really affected by chemotherapy. We need our body’s entire immune system fighting for us.
Because conventional therapies often go after the surface of cancer and not the source of cancer, it often returns. For those who choose the conventional route, you must also build your immunity.
Think of using the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and armed citizens to fight a foreign army. In the same way, we need our T-cells, white cells, bone marrow, lymph nodes, healthy food, and many other things to join this battle. Unfortunately, chemotherapy pretty much wipes out our immune system. Then the tedious process of rebuilding begins.
In the book, The Art & Science of Undermining Cancer, Dr. Francisco Contreras says:
“Direct attacks [chemo and radiation] have diminishing returns, and aid and abet cancer becoming resistant. Instead, our approach is to undermine cancer. Our therapies and approach have the goal of excavating below the foundational strongholds of cancer. Instead of backing cancer into a corner, we dig out below it, causing it to lose its balance and topple over. One such stronghold is cancer’s ability to become resistant to treatment. We leverage the metabolic traits of cancer and disarm its ability to regroup” (pg. 271).
Again, I’m not saying there’s never a time for conventional therapy, such as low-dose chemo measured out correctly, but it should not always be the go-to.
The decision to aggressively attack cancer with drugs and radiation, while at the same time destroying the body, is NOT a decision to be taken lightly.
My Top 5 Suggestions
Remember: We are not guaranteed healing, but we are guaranteed intimacy … intimacy with God if we seek Him during the process.
DISCLAIMER: This content is not professional medical advice, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. I must advise readers to consult a physician, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications. Additionally, these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
Before we begin, let me answer a question that often comes up: “Can I use this protocol as a precautionary measure against cancer?” I know people who do just that, but that’s between you, the Lord, and your physician.
1) Ivermectin works against cancer cells in laboratory and animal studies by targeting multiple cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways, which lead to the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and the promotion of cancer cell death. *Resource: National Library of Medicine
2) Fenbendazole is suggested to fight cancer primarily by inducing apoptosis (cell death), inhibiting glucose metabolism, and arresting the cell cycle in the G2/M phase, similar to chemotherapy agents. It acts as a microtubule-destabilizing agent, disrupting necessary cell division and increasing oxidative stress in cancer cells. *Resource: Scientific Reports
3) LDN: Since many cancers exhibit overexpression of opioid receptors, low-dose naltrexone (LDN) shows promise as an off-label, adjuvant therapy to inhibit tumor growth and cancer cell growth by modulating the immune system and blocking the opioid growth factor-receptor (OGFr) axis.
It also may reduce squamous tumors, such as oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and head and neck cancers, primarily by inhibiting the opioid growth factor–opioid growth factor receptor (OGF–OGFr) axis. *Resource here
4) HBOT: (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which dramatically increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream and delivered to tissues, including tumors. This counters the hypoxic (low-oxygen) environment common in solid tumors, which is a major driver of cancer progression and resistance to therapy. *Resource: National Library of Medicine
5) High-dose, intravenous Vitamin C therapy (50 grams): Research indicates that at these concentrations, Vitamin C generates hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen species. While normal cells can easily neutralize this compound, many tumor cells are much less capable of removing it. This leads to targeted oxidative stress that can damage the DNA and tissue of the tumor while leaving the healthy cells unharmed. *Resource: University of Iowa, Carver College of Medicine
As always, consult a healthcare professional prior to receiving high-dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) treatment, especially if you have chronic kidney disease or metabolic issues. A blood panel is also recommended beforehand to screen for G6PD deficiency and prevent hemolytic anemia.
Interleukin-15: As I was finishing this booklet, much was being said about Interleukin-15 (IL-15). Supporters suggest that it drives the development, survival, and activation of T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. It is not currently FDA approved for clinical use, but there are multiple IL-15 based agents that are in clinical development. These would be in the category of immunotherapy, of course, and would be only produced through big Pharma and would be incredibly expensive. I haven’t had time to look into it more, so I’m not able to provide more information.
Science is always changing so there may be more therapeutics available as the years progress.
Fight with God-given Supplements
Again, talk with an expert in the field to better assess dosage. It’s also recommended to add one new supplement at a time to see how your body responds before jumping all in.
Cycling is also an important element of supplementation. For example, a person could take numbers #1 and #2 above for a few weeks, and then add in #3 after stopping those — then cycle off and bring something else in, or go back to the original cycle.
For example, with things like Fenbendazole — because of its possible toxicity to the liver with long-term use — cycling three days on and four days off (after hitting it hard initially), is recommended by many specialists.
Again, you should find somebody who specializes in functional medicine and take everything to the Lord. I’m not offering medical advice — I’m simply giving an illustration of cycling.
A) Laetrile (amygdalin), from apricot seeds, is probably one of the most controversial cancer supplements, but places like Oasis of Hope and others have been using it for decades. Any time the medical industry goes after doctors using natural supplements and has concerns about things like Laetrile, but says nothing about Fruit Loops, Coke, and Pop-Tarts, it raises my eyebrows.
Over the years, I’ve heard incredible testimonies from those who use this miracle seed. The idea behind Laetrile is that the tiny amount of cyanide in the apricot seed (God’s creation) kills cancer cells. Normal cells have a protective enzyme in the mitochondria that prevents them from being damaged. The Hunza people, in northern Pakistan, have historically been associated with longevity due to their high consumption of apricots and their seeds. It appears that they’re doing okay. 😏
B) Black Seed Oil: A 2022 study showed that the thymoquinone in black seed oil can stop cancerous cells from proliferating and may also induce death in those cells.
C) Curcumin: A study shows that a polyphenol found in turmeric works against cancer by modulating multiple cellular and molecular pathways to inhibit cancer cell survival, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.
D) Vitamin D: Vitamin D is not a vitamin; it’s an important hormone that affects health at a very deep level. An article in PubMed noted that the active form, calcitriol, works against cancer through various cellular and molecular mechanisms, including slowing cell growth, promoting programmed cell death (apoptosis), and reducing metastasis and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation).
E) Mushrooms (the right kinds): And their extracts work against cancer primarily through immune system modulation and by containing bioactive compounds that can directly target cancer cell processes, such as promoting apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation, and preventing the spread of cancer. *Resource: National Library of Medicine
F) Dandelion root extract: DRE is another powerful supplement. An article in The National Library of Medicine reports, “We find that DRE is able to induce a rapid activation of the death-receptor mediated extrinsic pathway of apoptosis in human leukemia and pancreatic cancer cells in a dose and time dependent manner.” *Resource here
Oncogenes are genes that can cause cancer. Since there are over 5,000 nutrients that can turn oncogenes on or off, I could go down a deep rabbit trail, including methylene blue, DMSO, green tea, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, etc.
For example, Omega-3 fatty acids (specifically EPA and DHA) are another good choice due to their anti-inflammatory properties. And Sulforaphane, found in vegetables such as broccoli, is a powerful antioxidant used to combat cancer. And Boswellia (frankincense extract), shows promising anti-cancer effects.
The bottom line is to keep your protocol simple and know why you’re doing it. Switch it up from time to time and cycle things in and out. But again, it’s important to seek medical advice regarding dosage and application. I really wish that I could help more in this area.
There were so many other rabbit trails I could’ve taken — everything from gut microbiome to oral health. Many things play a role in our overall health. But I had to stick with the basics to complete this resource.
Be Careful with Peptides
Additionally, I would use wisdom when considering the new trend of taking peptides without knowing what you’re doing.
Some argue that certain ones may raise cancer risk by stimulating (not directly causing) tumor growth. Peptides like CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and Tesamorelin increase IGF-1 levels.
Additionally, some suggest that BPC-157 and TB-500 carry potential risks due to their ability to promote the growth of new capillary vessels.
But many have benefited from targeting peptides, peptide therapeutics, and anti-cancer peptide sources. I’m talking primarily about growth factorpeptides. *Resources here, and here
As an example of a possible therapeutic peptide, 5-amino-1MQ stands out to me because it inhibits the enzyme called nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). This may show promise for cancer patients because by inhibiting NNMT you can improve glucose tolerance, reduce hepatic glucose output, and enhance insulin sensitivity by increasing energy expenditure. Remember, the primary fuel for cancer is glucose. *Resources here and here
But again, we must use wisdom before diving into something that many of us don’t know much about, especially when it comes to growing cells. And our focus should not be on “looks” but on “health.”
3 More Important Keys to Healing
This section is one of the most important parts of this booklet. Many times, when cancer returns, it’s because the fortress of the body wasn’t guarded. Being in remission is not a time to go back to destructive habits; it’s a time to keep fighting.
Food delivers nutrients that signal cellular responses that deeply affect epigenetics — the process of turning on and off certain genetic switches. The right food delivers the right things; the wrong food turns on the wrong switch. Please don’t minimize nutrition.
Traditional treatments may work at the surface of cancer — but nutrition works at the source of cancer.
1) Low Carb / Real Food: Eating real, God-given food in moderation (with fasting) is the BIGGEST change you can make: Food either fights disease, or feeds it.
Point to ponder: If diet doesn’t matter, why do they use sugar (glucose) to find cancer in the body during a PET scan? Fluorodeoxyglucose to be exact.
Because most cancer cells primarily use glucose (sugar) for energy, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect, ketogenic diets have a potential positive effect on cancer.
A low-carbohydrate, high-fat keto diet forces the body into a state of ketosis, burning fat for fuel and producing molecules called ketones. Researchers are exploring how this metabolic shift may starve tumors, as many cancer cells lack the flexibility to use ketones for fuel and growth when glucose is restricted.
IMPORTANT SIDE-NOTE: At this point, it gets a little tricky. Many longevity experts, such as David A. Sinclair and Valter Longo, advocate whole, plant-based foods, while others suggest clean meat and vegetables to stay in ketosis. (Although it’s challenging, you can stay on a keto diet without animal products.)
With plants, more glucose is produced from the carbohydrates, but their powerful phytochemicals also brings much needed nutrition to the body. Whereas, meat produces more IGF-1 and mTOR. Both are signaling pathways for cell growth.
Additionally, the amino acid glutamine seems to feed cancer as well, and is found in high amounts in meat and animal products compared to plant-based sources.
Plant proteins typically have lower levels of specific amino acids that drive growth pathways in cells. Additionally, plant proteins are absorbed more slowly than rapidly digested animal proteins. This also decreases the signal for mTOR and IGF-1. Like I said, it gets confusing.
Dr. Longo writes in, The Longevity Diet, that by reducing “calories from proteins and sugars, you can decrease the activities of the growth of hormone receptors that accelerate aging.” (See pg. 57.)
WHAT DIET IS BEST? This question caused me a lot of stress the first week. But I began to rest in God’s sovereignty. If I happen to have too many blueberries, I don’t think it’s going to throw God off track. God created food to be consumed in moderation. Do what you can, then leave the results to Him. It’s not biblical to worry (cf. Matthew 6:25-34).
Based on the biblical account of creation, I focus primarily on living, low-glycemic plant foods with high nutrient density, as well as raw nuts, seeds, and a moderate amount of berries, along with a little fresh caught fish and clean eggs from time to time (and grass fed/finished meat sparingly when available).
I also became a huge fan of harvesting sprouts, such as broccoli, kale, alfalfa, lentils, etc. Sprouts are possibly the most nutritious food on the planet.
WHAT ABOUT JUICING? If you go this route, consider organic green vegetable juice in moderation (e.g., parsley, cilantro, cucumber, celery, lemon, lime, broccoli, kale, and a tiny bit of green apple). Fruit juice contains much more glucose (the thing we’re trying to avoid).
However, like many of you, I’ve heard amazing testimonies from those who have juiced nutrient-dense foods to fight cancer. This is exactly why my theme throughout this booklet is: Seek God for direction and wisdom. When you don’t know what to do, step out in faith and trust Him. His sovereignty is the key to keeping your sanity.
2) Incorporate intermittent fasting: Every time we eat, it raises blood glucose levels (fuel for cells). Use wisdom here, especially when it comes to snacking. God created us to eat, but not all the time. A minimum of a 12-hour fasting window and up to 18 hours is ideal. Because I am an emotional eater, this can be challenging, but it can be done.
I believe that we are experiencing a national health crisis because we are eating the wrong types of food and too much of it. Begin here as soon as possible.
But even with fasting windows, it’s good to mix it up and throw in a day of normal eating each week. Also, add seasons of caloric restriction. Dr. Valter Longo, head of The Longevity Institute at USC, has a wealth of information on this topic. In short, calorie restriction has significant benefits, but it can also have negative effects if done too often.
I’m also a big proponent of prolonged water fasting. But a lot depends upon where you’re at in your journey. For example, how depleted your body is, medical conditions, etc., all play a role in determining the length. It would be best to do this under supervision while seeking medical advice.
I probably wouldn’t recommend water fasting for someone who is depleted and at stage four cancer, simply because very healthy food could promote healing, and food may help to facilitate the protocol I’ve been discussing thus far.
Autophagy (cellular cleansing) occurs when we fast, which can break down the tumor cells for fuel, but it can also protect established cancer cells by acting as a survival mechanism under stress, as it recycles nutrients and maintains energy. Only God knows how to tilt the scale back in a favorable direction. Seek Him.
KEY: Reaching your ideal body weight is very important. Obesity is destructive and affects many issues within our body. Start now — don’t wait.
Health can’t be a fad; it must become a lifestyle. Use the stumbling block of cancer to become a stepping stone toward fitness.
3) Sleep, rest, sleep: This is when the body repairs. Focus on getting a good night’s sleep. There are many tips available, such as no electronics an hour before bed; instead, read the Bible or a good book and pray, pray, pray.
Avoid eating three hours before bed, and avoid caffeine after 10 a.m. Yes, you can still fall asleep after having caffeine, but it’s much harder to reach deep R.E.M. sleep.
Consider supplements that aid sleep, such as melatonin, valerian root, magnesium, L-theanine, etc., and reduce unnecessary stress. Melatonin, by the way, shows promise as a supportive agent in cancer treatment.
Be encouraged, I had some very difficult nights of sleep too, but you can eventually rest as you rest in Him. If you have a poor night’s sleep and get up early, put on worship, grab a cup of green tea, and worship God. Pray, “Lord, what are you teaching me? Help me become gracious, thankful, and humble. Are You trying to get my attention — what changes can I make?”
These early morning worship times were some of the most precious seasons I’ve ever had with the Lord.
Starve the Enemy
Many people take supplements and incorporate a few bio hacks here and there, but their diet consists primarily of dead, highly processed food. You can’t win a war if you’re constantly feeding the enemy.
Diet and lifestyle changes are among the biggest factors in overcoming disease. Even if you can’t implement all the protocols listed here, all of us can make important diet and lifestyle changes.
We shouldn’t choose some good habits while allowing a lot of bad habits.
My BIGGEST Lesson
Nothing works perfectly. We must trust in God and Him alone. He may take away all hope, so that we finally look to the One who is Hope.
Do what you can, but don’t become obsessed with worrying about every little detail — everything from toxins and microplastics to environmental overloads, and from not eating perfectly to forgetting to take supplements. Yes, avoid harmful environments and foods loaded with pesticides, but if you become overly concerned, rigid, judgmental, and fearful, it will rob you of peace and joy.
Again, do everything you can up to a certain point, and leave the results to God.
The Only True Hope
For those who don’t know the one true and living God, your journey must begin here. I would encourage you to repent today and ask Jesus Christ to save you from your sins. He truly is our only hope. Read more here.
My prayer is that God would show you the best path for your life and for your family. Ideally, you should pray and meditate on Scripture throughout the day. Memorize Philippians 4:4-9, and simply trust in God.
I pray that my motto would become yours as well: “His sovereignty is my sanity.”
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” — Psalm 27:1
