My name is Sara Berry – I am the mother of a 20-year old boy and two step-sons. I live in Hove, on the Sussex Coast. I love the wonderful mix of the eccentric, creative and cosmopolitan city of Brighton with the joy of being by the sea and the gentle expanse of the South Downs nearby. I have had a varied life, mixing my many interests with bringing up my adored family. For the last ten years, I have done this on my own, but through working hard and investing wisely, I managed to keep everything going.

As my boys have grown and I looked forward with excitement to my expanding world, I was stunned when, in 2006, I discovered a lump which turned out to be Invasive Breast Cancer. Surgical incision of the tumour and two lymph glands also showed it had spread to the lymph.

My life turned upside down – I had always been healthy and had been interested in nutrition and all things metaphysical from a young age. And so, having undertaken a lot of research, I decided to forgo chemo and radiation, and go instead for diet, exercise and energy therapies. This was no ‘easy option’ and involved a complete change of life with a largely raw-food diet, many raw juices and supplements every day, looking at all the emotional components, and lots and lots of healing!

By the time I was declared ‘cancer-free’, about a year later, I was overjoyed!! I had lost about two stone in weight, and everyone said I looked fantastic! I felt so well and was bursting with energy. I now know I should have continued on a maintenance programme – but I didn’t. Full of beans and the joy of a ‘new life’, I carried on.

At this point, I felt almost grateful to my cancer, as it had changed my outlook to a certain extent. But life then took over and stress hit me in bucket-loads … family and financial pressures caused me huge anxiety. The time I had spent dealing with my illness had exhausted my savings and the health insurance that I had in place. And, as I worked in property, I saw my income and prospects disappear fast as world events took over. Having worked hard all my life, done everything I could to secure my future and provide for myself and my family, I now found myself in the position of having absolutely nothing. I finally had to sell my house, moving several times to ever smaller, rented properties.

During the Spring of 2011, I started feeling more tired than usual – understandable, I thought, with all this stress to deal with. Then a cough persisted for a couple of months. I now find my cancer has spread to both lungs and a lymph gland in my chest. I have a lot of fluid in my left lung, which leaves me breathless – I can walk ok and talk ok, but slowly, and not at the same time!

I have explored all options, and again I am turning to my intuition that is telling me strongly that the human body is an amazing thing – given the right conditions, it can heal itself of pretty well anything. I firmly believe this, and that the key to beating cancer is to kick-start the immune system. So once again, I am on a programme of detox and building my body strength. I am meditating and talking to the cells of my body, asking them to use the powerful energy of love to heal themselves. I am using many other healing modalities, including Reiki, Sound, Kinesiology and Cranial-Sacral work, to balance and restore my system to health.

As my cancer has spread, it is going to require extra focus to send it packing this time. I am advised I need High-dose, Intravenous Vitamin C + Ozone and Hyperthermia treatments, along with many, carefully targeted, cancer-fighting & hormone-balancing supplements. This of course comes at a cost and although I was able to fund my treatment last time, I am not able to do so now – I was not able to get health insurance a second time! I need help and I need it fast. The intense phase requires treatment daily for 3 weeks, then twice weekly for 3 months. The total cost for this is £10,000, with supplements adding another £500 or so per month. The large amounts of vegetables required for juicing each day, need to be fresh and organic, adding to the financial burden.

I feel awkward asking for this help as I have always been extremely strong, resourceful and self-sufficient – but I know this offers my only real option for a return to health. I am a passionate person and know I have a lot still to offer the world, and I am not ready to leave my beautiful boys! I also have a book brewing in me, detailing how it is possible to clear cancer from the body with natural means – so important in this increasingly toxic and unhealthy world.

Cancer doesn’t frighten me (except occasionally at 3 o’clock in the morning!). I’ve beaten it once and I know I can do it again.

My love and wishes for your great health and vitality.
