perfect but I didn't think we were that bad. I decided to move out of our marital home. It was much to large for me to maintain alone. I purchased a smaller home for myself and my young daughter. 8 months after I moved out he called me and said that he was sick. I couldn't figure out why he would call me of all people. Long story short he was diagnosed with stage 4 Nose and throat cancer. I didn't want my children to bury their father. So I packed up moved back home and took care of him for 9 months. Losing everything in the process. We chose a very labor intensive holistic treatment called the Gerson Therapy. It was hard work. He was deemed cancer free August 2011.
Nisha Ray: In the movie she tormented him. After hearing what you've gone through I had to question myself and ask if I would have enough peace to not be a little spiteful or vindictive. How did you keep your peace? How keep from being vindictive, or bitter and not make his life a living hell for putting you through what he did?
Darliana Rose: She did torment him in the movie. My heart ached for what he had to endure. I felt that it was punishment enough to be faced with a terminal illness. He was sometimes so sad and said he was sorry for all that he did to me and our family as a whole. A few times there were incidents where his anger reared it's ugly head. Those were the times I depended on the support of family to get me through it. One of those times he smacked me in my lips and I forgot he was a cancer patient and smacked him back. Reflexes I guess. He fell straight down. I felt horrible. I was afraid that I had hurt him. However, The only thing that was hurt was his pride. We never had another incident after that one.
Nisha Ray: You nursed your ex-husband back to health how did you do it?
Darliana Rose: We decided on a holistic approach. We used the Gerson Therapy. A very labor intensive therapy. 35 herbs, high dose vitamin c was added, (not a part of the original therapy) 13 fresh pressed juices for every waking hour. We had a Norwalk juicer. It is a grind and press system. It grinds the fruits and veggies then pressed the grinded material with 500 lbs. of pressure. This removed every ounce of juice, enzymes and vitamins. Then a vegan diet, 5 raw coffee enemas day. They had to be prepared every morning from water I distilled every night. 3 hot baths a week. They consisted of water as hot as he can stand 35% peroxide added to the water. A thermometer on his head. Mary j Blige just fine on repeat and as many family members as I could get to sing and clap (we needed family to do that because he felt he was drifting away. He needed to know that he was still alive. side note: At night he asked me to hold his hand while he slept because he had dreams of him waving good bye. He felt that if I held his hand I could pull him back from dying in his sleep) while we covered his head with a hat then covering the tub with a yoga mats to hold in the heat. Once his body temperature reached 103 he was picked up by my son or cousin placed in a bed of cotton white sheets and white towels to dry him off. The entire house was transformed. No plastic anything even the fridge had cotton clothes and wooden baskets to hold the 75 lbs of fruits and vegetables we juiced weekly. No nonstick pots only stainless
