Janette Murray Wakelin

Diagnosis

Janette Murray Wakelin was diagnosed with a highly aggressive carcinoma of the breast in 2001 and was given only six months to live. The tumor was three centimeters and the cancer had spread into her chest wall as well as the lymph nodes. It was recommended that she undergo conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments, which doctors said may possibly extend her life by an additional six months.

Janette discovered the tumor with the help of her little grandson Kieran. She says.  “I had been carrying him all day as we walked around a local festival and he had fallen asleep in my arms,” she remembers. “When we finally got home and I put him down, I noticed some pain in the breast area where he had been holding on to me. It was then that I discovered the lump.”

Diagnosis

Janette Murray Wakelin was diagnosed with a highly aggressive carcinoma of the breast in 2001 and was given only six months to live. The tumor was three centimeters and the cancer had spread into her chest wall as well as the lymph nodes.

Janette discovered the tumor with the help of her little grandson Kieran. She says.  “I had been carrying him all day as we walked around a local festival and he had fallen asleep in my arms,” she remembers. “When we finally got home and I put him down, I noticed some pain in the breast area where he had been holding on to me. It was then that I discovered the lump.”

Choosing a Nutritional Diet

With the help of a naturopathic physician, Janette established a regime that would support mind, body and spirit. These therapies included the amount of exercise that she was already doing by adding yoga and running. “With yoga I was able to reunite with myself. I came to know my inner self and to love myself unconditionally. My running became more meditative. I chose to run on trails in the mountains or barefoot in the sand along the beach. I could feel again the sense of freedom that I remembered when I ran as a child.”

She had daily sessions in the infrared sauna to maximize the detoxification process.  She says.   “I could feel my body ridding itself of toxins while enjoying the feeling of complete relaxation during the sessions,” she remembers. “At the same time, my nutritional intake took a huge leap. I started juicing. It made sense that I could consume more nutrients by juicing because I just wouldn’t be able to eat that amount of food. If it takes 4 cups of carrots to produce 1 cup of juice, and I could drink 4 cups of juice per day, I knew I was way ahead of the game,” she said. “I think I was close to consuming a truckload of carrots every week during those six months! My hands turned carrot-coloured, but I didn’t care! I was alive and running!”

She also started drinking wheatgrass: “When I learned that one ounce of wheatgrass juice has the equivalent nutritional value of 2lbs of green leafy vegetables – more than most people eat in a week – I never hesitated.” Apart from having all the vitamins and most of the minerals the body needs to be healthy, wheatgrass juice also has all the amino acids making it a complete protein. Like all greens, wheatgrass is also very high in chlorophyll, which is like giving an oxygen infusion to the body. When taken, the juice goes directly to the bloodstream, oxygenating the blood and the whole body.

Within the six months she received a clean bill of health

Although Janette had been vegetarian and vegan for most of her life she decided that if she was going to “give it 100%.” In order to do this she eliminated all cooked food, thereby getting the maximum amount of nutrients from all of the foods that she consumed. “I couldn’t believe the difference in the way I felt within only one week of changing to 100% raw food,” she remembers. “The first thing I noticed was that my clarity of mind was intensely heightened. I no longer had to think about decision making. Everything became very clear; there was no hesitation. I lost 15lb within the first month of eating 100% raw food, which took me just below my recommended weight. The following month my weight came back up a few pounds and has not changed since,” she says.   “I also found I had much more energy than before and that it lasted longer. It was especially evident during my long training runs and my physical performance level increased,” she says. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that consuming 100% raw food made a huge difference to my recovery time and to my overall healing.”

It is interesting that although the lifestyle changes Janette made were minimal as her diet and lifestyle were already very healthy, but she had previously eaten most of her foods cooked.  She says that the positive results of going raw vegan had a profound effect on her healing. “I really only had to stop eating the odd muffin, a sandwich now and then, eliminate the pasta and cooking my vegetables!” she laughs. “I had already eliminated meat and dairy and I had never eaten processed or junk food, so the change to 100% raw food for me was not that big, but the change to my overall health was huge. Not only did I immediately experience clarity of mind, increased energy, specific injury healing and a feeling of well-being, but I actually cured myself of cancer!”

After six months, there was no longer any sign of cancer cells in her body. At that point, she came off the immune therapy regime, but has continued with all other aspects of her raw lifestyle. Janette is quick to mention that those crucial six months were also filled with love, laughter and lots of support from her family and friends. “I am blessed with a loving family who rallied around me and helped with the research, with physical and mental support, and most of all, with their unwavering conviction that the path I had chosen was mine to choose. I believe having unconditional support is also paramount in healing the body.”
