I want to share the revolutionary natural methods that I learned, experimented with and eventually found success with for healing the stage 3 breast cancer I was diagnosed with 3 years ago. I could see that I was too far gone to make it out alive with the standard western medical practices. I was told I immediately needed a mastectomy, lymphnodes removed, chemo and radiation. Given the extensiveness of the situation I chose to go the natural route, at least to start with, then I would see.

Last week, after 3 years, I finally received my "No Cancer Seen" from the Women's Cancer Center Imaging Dept. at Stanford. This means I get to go back to my life cancer free. What? This is amazing even to me. I have so much to offer now. I am burning to share what I learned with anyone dealing with illness. The recommendations can be used with standard western medicine or alone. I started out with somewhere in the neighborhood of 9cms of tumors spread across both breasts. 2 1/2 years later, I had 8mm removed surgically in a lumpectomy. That's it. A little lumpectomy. Western medicine meets natural medicine and finds happiness and success.

I am finally feeling well again and it's time to write about it. My friends who witnessed it, my family and people I tell about it to are all forcefully suggesting that I write a book. They tell me, "Cate, you need to share this with the world".

MY NEW BOOK:

Your Life Is A Recipe: Add In Good Ingredients

This is the Recipe Book I have already begun writing. It outlines and describes the "recipes" and information and how I used them. So far, I have 40 Chapter Titles. I have been passing this out to people so they can get started using the limited information I've written down as best they can.

It seems like the time to get my experiments and discoveries offered in detail.

I envision this book to be short chapters, Chapter Headings for each of the separate meaures. I would love to see it spiral bound like a cookbook so it's easy to use. With color art and beauty to inspire the heart as well as the body. This book will be all about Mind/Body/Spirit. The body is only one part of what needs your attention. Cancer calls to you as though saying, "Me, me. Pay attention to me".

I will outline the therapies I used in detail. This means I will tell the nitty gritty. Where to get the stuff you will need.  Tips and Tricks I've learned over time. How to set up the kitchen and your bathroom, which becomes your own "Home Spa". What to do when you have the inevitable set backs and frustrations while you learn a new way of taking care of yourself. This is about self care, self love, self discipline and eventually, self healing. The unexpected rewards of doing this will blow you away!

I will be talking about how I used some popular therapies we all know about, like the Gerson Therapies with juicing, coffee enemas, the use of wheatgrass "implants" and the Budwig Diet. However, the magic really begins when I teach about my discovered methods of using essential oils and spices as part of your new pharmacy. How to do this. Why to do this. Why this constitutes nearly magical reactions for healing.

In three years, nearly to the day, since diagnosis my personal finances are no longer in my possession. Yep, cancer cost me a lot but what it bought me was my life and I have never been better. Hard to imagine, but cancer is a gift of self discovery, of self recovery and offers a journey into the most sacred of spaces, your inner self.

I am asking for $20,000 to assist me as I get back on my feet and I take the time to continue to write.

If I am able to get funding I will throw my considerable diligence and unbridled passion into this project. I see this new chapter as being my lifes' work. Thank you cancer. I have a new purpose, it is to make accessible to us in the world more sweetness, more kindness and an easier way to exist. I will tell you how to do this with, Flowers and Spice and Everything Nice plus a lot more.

LOVE YOU A LOT,

Cate Classen
