I’ve seen it with my own eyes…
Hi beautiful,
Thanks so much for all the v-day love! For the most part it was a wonderful day. Well, actually, it turned out sad. Brian and I took a long drive. We were out in the middle of nowhere when suddenly the smell over took the car. Since I grew up across the street from a dairy farm I knew exactly what it was – TONS of cow shit. But I had no idea just how many tons until we saw the feedlots. They went on for miles. Thousands of cows. It was just like the images you see when they let you see. Ankle deep shit, packed together, a few sprawled out on their sides panting – dirty sad souls biding their time.
When we pulled over to take these pictures some started to scream. I will not pretend to know what they were trying to communicate, although I suspect it was something like – please help me.
Today I get my port. I’m scared, but relieved. Had to stop treatments last week because both of my arms blew out. For those of you who don’t know, I’m at a homeopathic clinic in AZ. For the next 3 months I’ll be experimenting with a non-toxic, natural protocol involving high doses of vitamin c, IV hydrogen peroxide, IV ozone, chelation, mineral infusions and a few other special goodies. I’ll write about where I am when all is done and I’ve fully evaluated the experience. Most of my treatment will happen in NY as well. Funny – this stuff isn’t legal in many states.
I’m also fasting for 21 days on 4 quarts of green drink per day. Today is day 15 and I’m still hanging in there. Ugh.
Back to the cows.
This canSer cowgirl (AKA prevention is HOT cheerleader) understands that genetics get a bad rap. As I already mentioned, recent studies indicate that genetics are only responsible for between 5-10% of diagnosis. So what’s the deal? Why are so many people struggling with dis-ease, fat, and exhaustion. Many of these crucial answers can be found in environmental factors and lifestyle choices. The choices I made years ago contributed to the state I am in now. This is what I know to be true – for me. I’m not saying that it is for you. It’s just food, drink, air, pollution, drugs, pesticides, cigs, sleep deprivation, stress for thought.
By respecting all life, I protect my own. No guilt, only a personal wake-up call and a mature and informed approach to taking responsibility.
Other than my tonsils, (which by the way – I needed! Ask your immune system if tonsils are worthless), I’ve never had surgery. Off I go. I’m trying to be a pioneer, but today I wish I wasn’t so passionate. I wish I didn’t love living and sharing health so much! But I also wish that all was normal, my fast was over, and that more people loved vegetables. Ohhh, the DRAMA. 
Peace and da’ knife,
Kris

Kris, I really Hate to ask you this, since you probably have already told people a thousand times (I missed it), but what green drink do you use? I have been researching them a lot, and cant decide which to use. Its so overwhelming because there are way to many. THANKS SO MUCH! YOu inspire~!
Toni – there are many recipes in the previous blogs. As far as green powder goes – I am currently using HealthForce Nutritionals Vitamineral green. Juicing is more important than powders.
Hi Kris,
Your compassion is endless…those cows, their fate, and screaming for help. Life, so fragile and so out of their control. For what? So someone can have a cheeseburger? A steak? Thousands of cows standing in their own poop? It’s tragic…all for big business, the almighty dollar. I weep to think of those lives.
In the words of his Holiness Dalai Lama:
“We do not need to reflect too long before we realize that all beings spontaneously look for happiness and try to avoid suffering. You will not find even a single insect that will not do everything in its power to escape suffering and to feel good. Human beings have the additional capacity to think. So we should make good use of our intelligence.”
If only each and every of us on this planet could find it within outselves to be more compassionate and thoughtful, to realize that all life forms…animals, insects, all life have feelings and needs. Comfort, safety, warmth and love…are these all things that are too much to ask for? I think not.
So many things are out of our control and it makes me frustrated, but then I think of the beauty in this world and I have to believe that it is more powerful than the bad. So much beauty can be found here on this site. And for that I am forever grateful.
Hi Kris,
Today’s post is very touching to both me and my mother. It takes a very special human being to see the senseless suffering of farm animals. Thanks for such a beautiful post today!! We faithfully follow your journey in Az and thank you for all the info that we can use at home and thus, improve our health and our lives!
Love and Hugs,
Mary and Mother (Sophia)
Kris,
You are truly an inspiration. Thank you so much for being so open and honest with us – for taking us on this journey with you. I saw you on Oprah and have been following you since. You are such a beautiful soul and do so much for so many each and every day.
Tons of Blessings and Unconditional Love sent you way,
Christina
Kris, sending calming energy & great healing MOJO for your surgery & recovery! May all be well.
xoxo Michalene
Thanks so much Kris. I just bought a juicer, and want a powder for when Im away from home for the day. Thanks again. LOVE Toni.
Hey cuteness,
It is all so very simple: when you mess up the planet, and it’s inhabitants, animal, veg and mineral.. there is a price to be paid. and man are we paying it.. and our dear animal friends too.
I can only pray that we can turn it around and regain the balance we need for the world and our bodies, to function as they are intended.
love you, good porting

Happy Monday mama!! Good luck with the port, it will go awesome and your arms will THANK YOU!! Less poking is always HOT, no?
and as for the drama you mentioned… totally right there with you. I had a minor meltdown the other day as I was feeling SO overwhelmed by all the hurt and things in the world that make me sad. it is hard to put on a happy face when i know unhappy things are happening. i’m a very cosmically sensitive being… my heart breaks a little when i hear a sad story, especially dealing with our furry planet friends. still learning ways to deal with this, just trying to spread the love in the meantime.
Sending you love on your day 15, you’re 75% done! How cool is that? Longest I’ve ever gone is 5 days. I really really want to do a longer fast, my body is telling me it NEEDS it… and some flushing, which i’m off to make an appointment for today
love you, big hugs!!
xoxoxo
I here from many that you are getting a bit overzealous in your treatments. I have seen your movie many times.
I speak for many…STAY GROUNDED and CHECK YOURSELF.
DON’T FIX WHAT AIN’T BROKE.
Yes, It’s your choice ultimately, Just look at yourself from the outside every now and then, o.k.?
Hugs and Da’ two-handed sword
Hi Kris,
I got my port for vitamin C infusions and it has made life much easier. I’ve read that you should make sure the C they use is not from corn (tapioka and beet sources are better.)
I am glad you raise awareness to the awful living conditions of cattle in our country. In additon to being raised inhumanely, I heard Bill Ny (the science guy) say recently that methane from cows is responsible for more pollution than planes trains and automobiles combined!! I tell this to every beef eater I encounter. They should know!!! Not to mention the run-off of hormones and chemicals and the massive amounts of grain it takes to feed them.
Sending healing thoughts your way. Have a great time in AZ.
Hi Kris,
Good luck with your port surgery! Thank you for writing about the cows. It brought tears to my eyes. I know about it in my head, but haven’t seen a feedlot up close and personal. I know it would send me over the edge (especially the screaming for help). Keep the topic alive!
Anyhow, my best to you & Brian in Arizona!
Hi Kris,
I just had a port put in a week ago Friday and now refer to it has my third boob. The proceedure was not too bad and even had a little fun with the doctor when I gave him an odd look and said I was not there for a port but a tummy tuck – had him going for a moment.
The truth is that while most of the time I don’t know the port is there I don’t like it. But what I really don’t like is that it represents that my cancer is back and has advanced to stage 4 (now mostly in the liver). Of course if we got to choose what we want …………
On a possitive note I can say the port is A LOT easier!!!! So I hope it goes well for you and does make your treatments less painful.
BTW – thank you for your book. It is really helpful to me and circle of girlfriends and sisters. Even my Dad is getting into it!
XXOO

Hi sunshine,
I’m sending you loads of calming energy your way! Good luck with the port today, you will make your viens so happy.
Please know that we all hold your hand from a distance and sending you lots and lots of love!
Happy thoughts and hugs to you today for the port! Totally agree with ya on cleaning up out act, taking care of the planet and all who inhabit it! You are soooo close to being done the fast Kris…hang in there and finish strong! I’ll tip back an extra glass of juice this week – and skip a meal – in your honor =)
Hope you feel the LOVE today!
Kris, As I follow your progress, I cant help but feel sort of bummed that as an “average Josephine”, there will never be a day that I could possibly afford doing what you’re doing. So as interesting as it is to read,it comes off as a pipe dream for a good number of us. A bit disheartening. Continued good karma to you however on your quest for wellness.

It breaks your heart doesn’t it. To see life taken so blatently for granted. I had a revolution last night while running around my bathroom trying to catch instead of kill a spider so I could release the thing. Poor Spider I killed it on accident and all I could think of was that life force was gone. BOOM. Once it was a scarey spider to me the next dead…………. And I think life is so fleeting. I was wracked with guilt wondering why….it was a spider but I began to go full tilt boogie into my spiritual mode that all life is so valuable. The veggies, the air, the earth, the bugs.. even the little spider….how fragile we must seem in a universe so big. And how brave you are exploring it all. I read a book by Linus Pauling back in the eighties that had a protocal in it for curing cancer. You know he was Einsteins bud and helped build the bomb and then his wife got cancer and he became a vitamen, juicing, vegan with no electricity and lots of hard work his term for excersize. he was sure she would live until the fatal day she bega to trust the md. And I am not advocating not trusting your dr. just telling his story and she stopped with the mega doses of vitamen c attached to insulin and began chemo and that was that. Now.. he blamed himself until his death. But… it was not his choice. All choices lead forward… we cannot go back. I am praying for you with you port. GOOD Luck and thank goodness for the good things.. no more sticks.. Know you are such a good and powerful example of how we all grow in the collective if we share our stories. Sorry for the long post. I do hope that if you see this life and pass this site and have cancer you investigate. It has saved my life. And nothing is of more value. Pray for my little my soul I murdered. And Bless the dinner we eat and the things that gave there lives to put it there. love you K. Callie
Kris, how sad that picture is. That is absolutely disturbing! I am glad to be vegan even more right now, but I do wish more people would come over to the light side and stop such atrocities. Good luck with the port! I’m getting bi-weekly chelation right now. I’m eight treatments deep in a 20 treatment regime.
Hugs!
Hi Kris,
This is Katie from Radford, Virginia. I just wanted to tell you how much you and all of your work has helped me, especially when my mom was going through her treatments. I spent my summer living at my mom’s house while she was in the hospital, in a city where I didn’t really know anyone. One day, when my mom was having chemo, you came on one of those day-time shows (I can’t remember which one) and I decided to buy your book.
I think it might have actually helped me more than it did my mom.
Being able to read your blogs and the inspiring stories of others made me feel like I wasn’t alone…and believe me I was really lonely. It almost seemed like no one wanted to be around us, like my mom’s cancer was contagious or something.
I don’t know, all of this talk about ports takes me back! My mom loved hers, she used the power port and she just had it removed about a month and a half ago. But she highly recommends it… just make sure your nurses know what kind of port you have, because you access certain ones differently.
Any how, just wanted to say thanks again for all that you do and to remind you of all the positive energy you bring to this world.
P.S. Don’t worry, I am madly in love with my veggies and I’ve been a vegetarian since 4th grade! Everyone can make a difference; just take it one meal at a time
Love, Katie
Oh my gosh, I feel so sad now. I think if I were to drive by one of those feedlots I would be hysterical trying to free them.
I didn’t know that the tonsils played a role in the immune system. Learn something new everyday. I unfortunatly have had too much surgery and feel like I’ve been run down by a truck. I followed your lead today and picked up a bottle of cell food. I think it’s the first supplement I’ve ever taken that gave me immediate results. I felt for the first time today that I had some energy and the cellfood made that possible. So thank you Kris. I have learned SO much from you.

It’s funny…you mentioned something in today’s post that a pal and I were discussing. It’s basically about the “security” of being able to point at something obscure, like genetics, and screech “Eureka!” People are very reluctant to assume responsibility for anything negative that happens. My mom told me “genetics” caused my cancer–maybe so, but I surely didn’t help things along with all-nighters, partying, drinking, smoking, and bad eating habits when I was young (ironically, I went vegan in my early 20s–and still smoked occasionally) surely did not help my health at all.
Good luck with your ports. I hope these treatments help you along!
And…POOR COWS!!! I want beef to become illegal!!! It’s poison in more ways than one.
Hi Kris – What clinic is administering IV ozone and hydrogen peroxide? I have 2 friends that are looking for these treatments. Thanks and many blessings – Mik
Soul Sister,
You are such an angel to be highlighting the plight of dairy cows. So many people swear off veal, due to the inherent cruelty of confining males calves to crates so small that they cannot even turn around. But what most people don’t know is that by purchasing dairy products, they are directly supporting the veal industry. Cows ,like humans, only produce milk when they give birth. Dairy cows are artificially inseminated by farmers (on what is commonly referred to as the “rape rack”). A day or two after giving birth, babies are taken from their moms so they don’t “waste” any of their milk. Female calves will be subjected to the same life of confinement, forced insemination, and milk extraction as their moms. Male calves are put into crates and soon killed for veal.
I used to be fully addicted to cheese, so I know that giving it up can seem impossible. But there’s nothing in dairy we need that we can’t better get from natural, healthier food sources. We’re the only species on the planet that drinks the milk of another species and we’re the only species on the planet that drinks milk as adults. Most mainstream doctors, nurses, and dietitians believe that we need dairy for calcium. But after looking at thirty-four different studies from sixteen different countries, researchers at Yale found that dairy had no positive effect on bone health. There is nothing in cows’ milk that we need. We could be drinking gorilla milk or giraffe milk or giraffe milk right now. It just so happens that dairy farmers chose cows’ milk to produce and sell.
After multiple visits to the “rape rack”, multiple babies taken from them, and thousands of pounds of milk pilfered from them, once these poor cows are “spent” and can no longer produce milk, they are shipped off to slaughter.
So whether you’re talking organic, free-range, or even goats’ milk, “dairy” is synonymous with “cruelty.”
It also spells disaster for humans who ingest it. Dairy has been scientifically linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, kidney stones,cataracts, macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s. It’s also been linked to breast, prostate, and rectal cancer.
(I highly recommend The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell.)
Kris, you wondrous unicorn, you are such a heroine…to people and animals!!!

I used to be a Medical Doctor, got Cancer myself (Invasive Malignant Melanoma), treated it with Herbs, Diet and Chelation. I currently do spiritual Medical Intuitive readings on people, which helps them focus on the organs which have dis-ease. At this point, I have done thousands of patients, and all have experienced benefit getting the parasites, fungus/yeast, viruses and heavy metal load down.
. I practiced Medicine in Utah for 14 years, and was in Arizona prior to that. Using Alternative/Complimentary Medicine and have seen thousands of patients and used herbs, homeopathic, energetic remedies and chelation to help improve and heal “un-treatable illnesses and dis-eases”. I relinquished my Medical Licenses in Arizona and Utah in 2005 due to an agreement with the Federal Government. I currently do intuitive Medical readings for clients putting them on the products which will help them the most. I currently lecture to many groups, including professionals, learning about Herbal products. I have been told by many, I am one of the most informative, animated speakers they have ever heard.
I learned about most Herbs, essential oils, Homeopathics and many other modalities of healing. I instantly know what people need to heal through spiritual readings. I feel your “Cancer” is due to Parasites, Fungus and Viruses which can be removed from the body with Herbal and energetic treatments.
