HHI Happenings

CancertoLife From

| BY MARIA INES CABRAL

At the beginning of 2010, I was diagnosed with a very aggressive breast cancer (HER2+) which I quickly proceeded to address through surgery, chemo and radiation. My doctor informed me that 75 percent of patients with my particular type of cancer have a repeating occurrence within the fi rst three years. I politely and decidedly told my doctor that reoccurrence was not going to happen with me. In trying to equip myself to win my battle with cancer, before ever even visiting Hippocrates Health Institute (HHI), I purchased all of Brian and Anna Maria Clement’s books as well as the series of 12 DVDs of informative classes. I earnestly invested myself in learning a new way to be well as I studied and incorporated their wise and healthful practices into my life. Immediately following my traditional cancer treatment protocol, I booked a fl ight for my fi rst visit to HHI. That initial visit changed my life completely! Prior to my devastating cancer diagnosis, I hadn’t exactly been what one would describe as a “healthy” person since I have rather unfortunate genetics regarding my heart and circulation. My parents each died of heart disease and I’ve lost two sisters in their early forties due to heart disease. My brother had heart surgery at the age of 42 and ten years ago my cardiologist told me that I was probably going to have a heart attack within the next fi ve years. As my cardiologist witnesses my ever improving heart and circulation he continues to be surprised at how my style of life has had such an incredibly positive impact on my overall wellness! The Hippocrates Lifestyle™ has tremendously improved my immune system. I have not only reversed the aggressive cancer and kept reoccurrence at bay, but I’ve also eff ectively addressed my troubled heart and circulation.

After returning to HHI yearly since my fi rst visit and receiving incomparable help from Brian, Anna Maria and Tom Fisher, I came to the conclusion that I needed to start spreading this healthy lifestyle message in eff ort to help others, especially those with cancer. Last year, I became a Hippocrates Health Educator and, through that experience, created a project for patients with cancer.

Currently, I’m writing my fi rst book in a series, From Cancer to Life: A Deep Journey Through Spirituality and Healing, where I share my experience beginning from when I found out I was sick all the way through to the positive impact that HHI has had on my life. This fi rst book will be sold on Amazon beginning in December 2016! The next book from this series called, From Cancer to Life, will come out soon. The second book will be a guide, not only for people with cancer, but for all those who want to regain or improve their wellness through living a healthy lifestyle.

LifeForce A Life-Changing Read!

LifeForce: Superior Health and

Longevity is my go-to reference for creating the changes I want to see in my life as it relates to my health and longevity. It’s a comprehensive guide to creating and maintaining a healthy and balanced life. This book completely changed my relationship with food and how that relationship positively impacts the lives of others. I was 20 years into my 30-year quest for knowledge before I began to realize the connection between food, toxins, consciousness and what I like to call

“designer diseases” such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other chronic illnesses. LifeForce put everything in perspective for me by outlining practices that have taught hundreds of thousands of people how to harness the power of self-healing. Author Brian Clement makes the case for good health being about happiness and self-empowerment. He lays the foundation for your journey by debunking the myths associated with dieting and food. He establishes a little known truth that healing and good health begin with our belief system and gives the reader the tools and research to support what can be achieved by transforming your lifestyle.

The book also provides inspiring testimonies from many who used these tools to dramatically change their lives and health. It’s loaded with scientifi c studies that support the claim of “a natural healing program for everyone.” Disturbing trends that have led to a health care crisis and escalated into the ever increasing cost of health care are factually addressed.

Clement places the solution in the reader’s hands and gives him/her the tools to make lasting change happen. When you read LifeForce, you will learn how to transition to eating raw living foods at home, while dining out and traveling as well as strategies for creating the support system you need to stay on track. There’s detailed information on therapeutic juicing and sprouting; the role of vitamins, minerals, and phyto-chemicals and the use of medicinal herbs, as well as recipe favorites from the Hippocrates Health Institute kitchen.

If you are determined to succeed in your quest for self-healing, and I sure hope that you are, then this book can be an integral part of your mindful practice of integrating each valuable lesson, one empowered step at a time.
