And eventually I went to the doctor and was referred around and found myself at a gastroenterologist who did a colonoscopy. When I woke up from that procedure, he said you’ve got a golf ball sized tumor in your large intestine, your colon. And they biopsied it and called me within a day or so and said, it’s confirmed you have colon cancer, and we need to get you into surgery right away and get this thing out of you before it spreads and kills you.

But I immediately adopted a raw food diet, and started juicing and there was no deliberation I just right away, I just thought, Okay, this is what George did to get, well, this is what I’m gonna do. And I believed that healing was possible.

it’s common sense to look at what can you do positively to your body, and you don’t have to have cancer to do that. You know, we can do this ahead, we can avoid the inflammation, we can have a good immune system.

TRANSCRIPT
Introduction 00:00
Welcome to the Healers Café. The number one show for medical practitioners and holistic healers, to have heart to heart conversations about their day to day lives, while sharing their expertise for improving your health and wellness.
Manon Bolliger 00:20
So, welcome to the Healers Café. And today I have the pleasure to speak with Chris Wark. And he’s a long-term cancer survivor. He’s a patient advocate, also a bestselling author. And I have referred many, many, many patients to his work both for the experience of somebody who’s gone through it, all the details he shared, and it’s just a wealth of information and knowledge. And I’m so honored that you are here with me today. So, a little bit of the background, Chris was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2003. At that time, he was only 26-year-old. And after surgery, Chris decided to not or to basically opt out of chemotherapy, and to use nutrition and natural therapies to heal. And so, I’m going to start at this point here. For more information, obviously, he’s got the website, chrisbeatcancer.com. He’s got several books. And let’s start at the beginning. So why don’t you tell us a little bit your story and how you realized it, what went through your mind what kind of decisions you’re confronted with?
Chris Wark 01:47
Sure. Thanks for having me. I really appreciate the opportunity to share my story with your audience. I was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer when I was 26, December 2003. And my 20-year cancerversary is next week. So, it’s a pretty big milestone for me. Spoiler, I didn’t die. I lived, I survived and thrived. But back 20 years ago, it’s so weird to say I was…I started having abdominal pain. And it would come and go randomly, and it gradually got worse. And eventually I went to the doctor and was referred around and found myself at a gastroenterologist who did a colonoscopy. When I woke up from that procedure, he said you’ve got a golf ball sized tumor in your large intestine, your colon. And they biopsied it and called me within a day or so and said, it’s confirmed you have colon cancer, and we need to get you into surgery right away and get this thing out of you before it spreads and kills you. And at that time, I was a typical, clueless cancer patient. I didn’t know anything about the disease didn’t know anything about treatment. And I just assumed that I just had to do whatever the doctor said. And this was, you know, the diagnosis came just a few days before Christmas. I mean, they were trying to get me in the hospital the next…within days, you know. And I didn’t want to spend Christmas in the hospital because that sounded really depressing. So, yeah, so that we postponed it to December 30. And I went in, they took out a third of my large intestine, and that’s where the tumor was, obviously. And when I woke up, they said, You’re worse than we thought. We thought you are…we were hoping you would be staged to your stage three C. That means the tumor has broken through the intestinal wall and spread to surrounding lymph nodes. So, I was told the next step would be 9 to 12 months of chemotherapy. I, when I was sent home from surgery, after I sobered up, got myself off the pain medication, I just really started thinking about …
