đ§ Reframing Illness: Cancer as a Signal, Not a Sentence
Barbara OâNeill doesnât dismiss modern medicineâchemotherapy and surgery have their place. Yet she urges a bolder question: What silent imbalances allowed cancer to take root? From her perspective, disease blooms in a body burdened by chronic stress, where inflammation simmers, oxygen dips low, acidity rises, and toxins linger. Processed sugars feed rogue cells, nutrient gaps weaken defenses, and environmental assaults erode vitality.
Picture your body as a garden: weeds (cancer) flourish in depleted soil, but thrive on fertile ground? Not a chance. Barbaraâs wisdom echoes Nobel laureate Dr. Otto Warburgâs discoveryâthe Warburg Effectârevealing how cancer cells crave sugar and shun oxygen. âItâs not just your genes,â she reminds us. âItâs how you live that shapes them.â This isnât blame; itâs empowerment. By shifting your internal ecosystem, you donât just surviveâyou flourish, turning crisis into catalyst for a vibrant life.
