My Journey to Health
My name is Susan Insole and that’s my photo after I regained my health.
This is the story about how I discovered what it meant to feel really well. Going back to six years before - around 1998, I thought I was eating a healthy diet, but like most people I was constantly juggling my time between my very stressful job and my family. Anyone who is or has been in the same situation know what it's like - I never seemed to have enough time to cook a proper meal by the time I got home and used ready meals and the local takeaways quite often. During this period of my life, I seemed to have colds and sore throats all the time. I was also around two stones (28 pounds) overweight and suffered with low back pain and sciatica from an old injury from years before. I took various medications for a number of ailments - acid indigestion and heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma and eczema, and this all combined to make me feel low and lethargic.
Not surprisingly, I never felt really that well - and certainly not healthy. Like most people I thought this was due to my age -I was then in my late forties - and the very busy life I was leading. I dealt with stress by smoking and drinking more than was really good for me - during the week and more so at weekends! I worked hard in my job in the NHS (National Health Service) and other activities in my a Trades Union Branch so had very little time to relax. My diet, looking back on it was not very good – I ate on the go a lot, and was often too tired to eat a good meal when I got home.
Perhaps the reason why I worked so hard was because I had experienced real heartbreak when my youngest daughter Emma died in 1996 at the age of only twenty. On finding a lump in her groin just before Christmas in 1995, it was only a short time after that her health went downhill and she went for tests in the same hospital I was working in.
Emma was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (a form of cancer in the lymph glands) in January and an aggressive form of chemotherapy was prescribed. At the time I knew very little of the part nutrition played in health, although I had worked in the NHS for 12 years by then. So there seemed to be no other option than to take the doctors’ advice.
She went through one course of treatment and came home for one weekend before being re-admitted for further treatment. However She became very ill and seemed to become worse by the day - worse in fact than she had been before she started the treatment.
Her immune system was quite low to begin with but the treatment lowered it even more and it wasn’t long before she caught a virus which rapidly turned to pneumonia because of her low immunity.
Over the next few weeks she was fighting for her life, but sadly, after being in intensive care for just 4 weeks, she died. During the awful period after she passed away, the only thing I felt I could do was throw myself into my work to help me work through my sorrow. My sister had died fourteen years before my daughter at the age of only 48 with breast cancer - despite all the medical interventions she went through. My dad had also died with cancer long before his time in his early seventies and it seemed such a cruel fate when my daughter had cancer too when she was only nineteen.
However worse was to come – in 2004 I went for a routine breast scan and shortly afterwards I was diagnosed with breast cancer myself.
I came close to having a total mastectomy and drugs therapy. That was the only treatment that was offered to me then but I knew that the drugs I had already been taking were not doing me any good!
It seemed to me that surgery was too drastic and neither had it helped my sister to recover. I was not only devastated; I felt that I was being rushed into making hasty decisions.
Just a few weeks before I was due to go into hospital; I cancelled the operation as I felt I needed more time to come to terms with what was happening.
I know how powerless you can feel, not knowing what the future holds. I had so many questions - as well as the shock and fear – but I was also very angry! - How DARE this happen to me now after all I'de been through? I searched for information everywhere I could both on conventional and alternative cancer treatments, read many books and was shocked to find out how many alternative cancer treatments had been lost to public knowledge, discredited, or forced underground. You must make up your own mind about my alternative cancer treatment but I sincerely urge everyone to take control of your own health and not hand it over to someone else to own. There is no-one on the face of the earth with more interest in your own well-being than you! Given more time, the choices I had soon became clear to me – I could either go down the medical road with all the risky side effects this involved – or I could look after and nurse myself back to health using nutrition. I read lots of case histories about how nutrition had cured their cancer, and understood better exactly what cancer is, how it is caused, and why medical treatments fail so many times. I've learned that Cancer is not some mysterious disease that just happens to you. It has definite causes, and when you correct those causes, you get well. Natural treatments do work remarkably well. There was no hesitation once I had made the decision. My GP thought I was crazy and tried to persuade me to at least take the drugs but my mind was made up and I just KNEW I was doing the right thing! By learning more about my illness, I became armed with knowledge – and was in a much more positive frame of mind. I booked into an alternative clinic specialising in nutritional therapy and had an individual diet plan worked out for me. I was also monitored every six months at the Chiron Clinic in London to ensure everything was going well. From then on I continued under the clinic's guidance and had scans and blood tests at six monthly intervals. My last few blood tests have shown the cancer in remission and my blood returned to normal, and I now return just once a year. I continue with the diet to this day. I often think that if it hadn't been for my previous experience, I simply would not have known any different and would probably be in a much worse position with my health than I am now! You have found this site I assume, because you care about your health. I hope I can help you achieve the health you deserve. Susan Insole BSYA (N.Th.)
