The Diagnosis

Julia Chiappetta lived quite a healthy life. She ate Mediterranean diet, worked out a lot and played almost every sport. One night, when she was back from a business trip; she could feel a lump on the outer right edge of her right breast. The gynecologist sensed something suspicious. She called for a mammogram and the radiologist scanned nothing. But Julia knew that there was something not right. She preferred a biopsy. And the biopsy examined her of Stage 2 infiltrating ductal carcinoma. It was an aggressive and fast growing cancer.

Stage II

The Treatment –

Doctors suggested her to take an immediate action. They advised for a double mastectomy followed by rounds of radiation & chemotherapy. She was handed a pile of books and pamphlets that she could not easily understand. So she recruited a scientist friend with a medical background for research. They researched together for 2-3 hours each day for 3 months. And after 3 months she decided to opt for a natural protocol for cure. The doctors warned her that if she skipped over double mastectomy, radiations and chemotherapy, she would die.

But she had immense faith in her research and her prayers. Despite suffering from cancer, the process was quite exciting to Julia.

The Change –

Julia believes that the patient has to involve his/her own self in the process. Unlike most other women who rely on their family, friends or doctors suggestion; Julia was not absent in her protocol. For her cancer cure did not mean getting operated and undergoing rounds of chemotherapy and radiations & then eventually getting back to your daily life habits of processed food, stress, coffee and the way of life. Cancer cure is a change in lifestyle for the upcoming years.

The Protocol –
She initially got a dumpster and cleaned the entire house. She got rid of all the toxic elements like makeup, food, microwave and other products.
Then, she implanted a wholly raw, organic and natural diet.
She considered juicing in the diet.
Most of the diet consisted of green vegetables, seeds, nuts, quinoa, etc.
The elements that the cells need to heal like – super foods, enzymes and antioxidants were the priority.
She drank wheatgrass shots every morning for improving metabolism.
Her protocol was a balance of diet, nutrition, hydration, rest, fitness, spirituality and constant education.
Results –

When Julia went back to M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for the lumpectomy, all her tumor markers and blood range were back to normal. The doctors were amused. They were shocked as well as surprised to know the reason of the change and Julia’s natural protocol. The tumor was considerably small in size and there was no spread of it, either.

Post Cure Journey –

In Julia’s opinion, the ultimate alternative treatment protocol for women’s health issues is good sleep, better hydration, nutrient rich food and removing the toxins from body & mind. She was invited for a couple of times to the panel discussion on women’s health issues in White House. She also reflected on her journey about the books she read, lectures she visited, doctors she interviewed and videos she saw in a book. She noted down her researched opinion in the book – ‘Breast Cancer: The Notebook’, by Julia Chiappetta. It is a guide for people on how to seek information, the case studies and the natural cure protocol. She thinks – if it worked for her, it’ll definitely work for others as well.
