Suzanne Somers was handed a death sentence last year. Her oncologist gave her the gut-wrenching news that she had cancer, and it had metastasized throughout her body. "I have never seen so much cancer," she remembers him saying.
During six days in the hospital, six different doctors confirmed the grim diagnosis and said her cancer was inoperable, incurable, and hopeless.
On day six, however, the doctors realized they had made a terrible mistake. Somers, who had already fought a successful battle with cancer ten years before, was actually cancer-free.
Somers' only beacon of light during those six was a file she had on doctors who were curing cancer without drugs. Instead of getting angry at the doctors who had misdiagnosed her, she decided to be positive by interviewing the doctors in her file.
The result was her book, "Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer and How to Prevent Getting It in the First Place."
"I realized there are other options," she says.
One of the doctors she interviewed was Newsmax contributor Dr. Russell Blaylock, author of the Blaylock Wellness Report. "Dr. Blaylock is one of the brightest minds in the country," Somers says. "I go to him for information all of the time."
One thing he told Somers was that if he were a woman, he'd never have a mammogram. Not only does the radiation increase the risk of a future cancer, Blaylock says, but if a tumor exists, smashing the breast can metastasize the cancer.
We've spent billions of dollars fighting cancer during the last 55 years, Somers says, yet there is no cure. "Perhaps we've been barking up the wrong tree," she says. "Maybe these doctors who have broken away from standard care are onto something.
"Writing 'Knockout' took away my fear of cancer," Somers said. "There is another way."
