My husband fought ductal prostate cancer stage 4 like a warrior. It had went to his lung liver and brain. Chemo and radiation got it in the lung and liver but the brain was just so hard. He had whole brain radiation two different times. The doctors said we can’t cure it but we can manage it. He had the prostate removed in 2018 had radiation and was stable. In 2020 now it was spreading. We were also in Covid so we were so limited on where we could go. So much was closed down but I took him to every outside event I could find. In and out of the hospital for a host of issues caused by chemo, so many times so many transfusions. In 2021 he lost his Mobility but we kept going and he had the second course of whole brain radiation. He fought to his last breath and I lost him in Jan 2022. He never ever complained. God bless and give strength and courage to those who fight this horrible disease.

My son was diagnosed September 2020 pancreatic metastasic (liver) cancer stage IV. He was 41 at the time. Chemo is his new life since, but the pronostic was about 2 years at the most. He is still with us 🙏 working a couple of hours per week, training him self, and just bought a new car. He is my ''CHAMPION'' 🏆 Thank you God

I was told the same with endometrial stage 4 Cancer. I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, changed my entire food intake to all Organic, and ELIMINATED ALL SUGAR. God has a plan for each and everyone of us listen to His still voice. I was diagnosed in 2020, And by the Grace of God I'm 100% cancer free and going strong. All Glory and Honor I give to my Heavenly Father 🙏🕊️❤️ I speak healing over your entire body, GOD CAN HEAL YOU IF ITS HIS WILL AND WRITTEN IN HIS PLANS! BE BLESSED 🙏
Is it possible to get a copy of his plan? And BTW, how do we know "he" is a he. I don't want to offend with the wrong pronoun.
@@user-gj9lc2ov8l Am working with her on telegram lol
@Leticia that’s amazing. I have stage 2 Endometrial cancer, do you eat honey? I eliminated all sugar. Should I stop eating honey too. What about natural sugars in fruits?
@@NB1212_ I ate all organic fruits, and I used organic honey.👍🙏
Amen
I too have stage 4 prostate cancer, has metastized into my bone, left lung, and now my liver. But this has taken nearly 10 years as I was first diagnosed in 2014. I've had all the treatments Mark has had, still getting the Lupron shots even though they stopped working a year ago. My PSA is now over 100. I'm 74 years old, was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, hence the cancer. I'm doing radiation treatment on the bone which is in my spine. They go through the front to get to the back, the vertebrae in my neck. Currently my esophagus is constricted, so I'm having much difficulty swallowing. This is the second time for that. Liquid diet for now. Its obviously going to kill me eventually but my attitude is excellent because I'm not afraid to die. I've lived a life, feel good about my future no matter what. Life isn't fair but it's not fair for everyone, so we live with it as it is. I live one day at a time now, and that's all I need to focus on. Que sara, sara
Thank you for your service.❤
Try fasting if you can and no carbs or sugars. Might give you many extra years.
Eradicate sugar from your meal. Herbs, species, and seeds blend and get the extracts started in small doses, mix in your liquid, also build your blood with blood builder herbs and follow this for a month, am sure you will get a fantastic result

I was diagnosed 6 months ago with stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, which had spread to the bones. My Oncologist also told me it was incurable, but I don't believe in incurable. I have been on a journey very similar to yours and I have come to the same conclusions as you, healing is Body, Mind & Spirit. Thank you Mark for sharing your story, it is so encouraging & reassuring that I am on the wright track.
Pray🙏🙏🙏

I have also been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. My first appointment is tomorrow to see the oncologist. I believe that the Lord is going to get me through this in Jesus name. Hoping for a speedy recovery. I have heard fasting and prayers work.

You are such an inspiration. You made me cry. Thank you for sharing your journey. My dad has stage 4 prostate cancer but I'm positive and I know he will fight. He is such a strong and positive man. Thank you.
Po
You are making people to believe that they still having a hope, You are a wonderful human being. God bless you Mark.
I never saw anyone so positive. I needed it today.
My father died on the 16th of May. I showed him this video early April. He lost his ability to walk due to the tumors in his spine. He lost hope at that time but wanted to live. He elected to do surgery to remove the numerous tumors in his spine. The wound on his back became infected because the hospital discharged him. He was placed in a rehab facility which he got horrible care. My father hadn't been in my life until his last few months. It was hard to see him live like this, to be bedridden but I'm glad god finally brought us together.
I understand your situation , cause when my was alive, I really never heed his advice to study hard, I never get quit along with him. After his passing, I regret so much. My father was bedridden for 1 Yr in hospice due to this cancer damaged the hip bone and spine.
GOD BLESS YOU AND HIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL
I wish Mark well with his treatment, I also have stage 4 prostate cancer and am using nutrition therapy and targeted exercise programs to support my immune system in killing and opposing the spread of my cancer cells. I see my oncologist every 6 weeks for blood tests to check my PSA levels and discuss medical options he can make available to me if/when I need them.
I agree with Mark that having a mental outlook that removes the anxiety and depression that usually accompany a prolonged cancer treatment is of the utmost importance. I consider myself very fortunate to have come to a very strong belief in God long before (11 years) I was diagnosed with cancer. When I go to bed at night I pray myself to sleep, talking to God about whatever is on my mind until I am totally at peace at the prospect of moving on from this life to what awaits me in the next, if it turns out that that is what God has planned for me.
Most of my friends and loved ones are unbelievers and they think I'm crazy to trust in "my invisible friends" this way but this is not a problem for me at all, it makes me realise I am in a unique position to open their eyes to what it is like for someone with total faith in God to face death with peace and joy in their heart. If I can get to share my faith with just one of them, to me that will make worthwhile this whole cancer adventure I'm going through.
Thanks for sharing.
May God Bless you always! Thanks for taking your faith seriously and sharing it! Your generous attitude and testimony lights the way for others.
Absolutely wonderful
Dr. Thomas Seyfried has great research on reducing tumors.
Amen 🙏 to that 🙏. God is good and He's the ultimate decider of our lives. May God continue blessing you 🙏.
As I am a diabetic person My physician asked me to do a PSA checkup test with Hemoglobin A1C .The result was a little bit high 5.54 ng/ml , and he referred me to a specialist. An MRI and a biopsy later, I discovered I was a 65 year old living with a Gleason 6 prostate cancer. I'm so grateful that my Doctor took action, knew that there was a history of prostate cancer in my family and encouraged me to do the test. I now can do active surveillance and get on with my life. Now I changed all my life style and start ketogenic diet In addition to I stop eating dairy foods and sugar and rice and and all products that feeds cancer since 3 months also I practice prolonged DRY fasting about 17 hrs for one month and i do two Psa tests one after 2 months and it was 3.54ng/ml and the other one after dry fasting and it was 2.7ng/ml . I lost about 12 KGS since 3 months That encourage me to complete fasting hoping that tumor marker will give me more good results.
My husband also 65 has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His Gleason was 7. He hasn't decided his treatment plan yet. Wishing you the best.
Keep your eye on it as it can upscale to a higher Gleason number
I LOVE your fighting attitude and the fact that you did not just like you said stand in line and you chose to be a huge part in your own healing journey.
I’m so proud of you, Mark!! You’re doing phenomenal work and inspiring so many people!! I’m honored to say that you are my friend. Keep up the great work and GOD Bless You and your family, I’m always praying for you.
My father grand father uncle all died with cancer prostate ! Its terrible cancer if you don’t stop him before it’s migrate to other organes ! Its a killer !
Thank you Mark. I couldn't agree with you more. For those watching, please know you have more control, than you think. Your input, is most important on the panel of experts.
It is such a journey Mark! You just followed the whole and ended up recovered well and full of gratitude! A great inspiration! Different journey reaches a destination of well ness,wholeness,togetherness and gratitude!
@@2byourownhero yes Mark😊
watching your video gave me the boost and mind set that i could still bit this stage 4 lung cancer that took over my life eversince ..
Yes, my 25 years dance with depression became a gift and drove me too find my own soulutions.
Watching this video of you Marc has given me hope for my Dad who has been diagnosed with Stage IV Prostate Cancer. In his bones, specifically his spine with spinal stenosis. He is hopeful and believes he will beat this- I am learning to keep that same energy and be his biggest advocate for the best care and treatment options. I do believe a positive mindset makes a huge impact and you sharing your story solidifies that. Thank you for sparking hope in me, and to those embarking their cancer journey. You’re an inspiration 🙏🏼
Thank you Mark, I have stage 3 prostate cancer and going for review on 25 Oct this year. The doctor says it has spread but could not find where. God bless!
You're so brave Mark. God is with you in this journey. Continue what you are doing. Praying for you and all cancer patients
Remarkable recovery for this cancer patient. He is mentally strong.
Thank you Mark for your wonderful and encouraging story. I have also been with a hypnotherapist for cancer related sadness and anxiety. I wish more patients knew about this option. It has made a lot of difference in my case. You are right. The mentality around disease is vital. Not only for healing but for living well while you are doing it! God bless you and keep you strong and healthy. You are amazing!
To God be the glory, but how did you do it? were you on any medication?
Chew 3 lime leaves twice daily morning and evening 3 weeks go see Dr for checkup .cured

Excellent video dear brother. I’ve been dealing with prostate bph going on 9 years now. Fortunately I’ve been conscious with my overall health. As a result? By the daily numbers that I keep; it appears that I’m winning. Continue to take good care.😃❤️🖐🏼
Gods Speed Mark! Mahalo for sharing this part of your life's journey.
What a wonderful testimony to God be the Glory
Glad that this is working for you, and good luck!
I hope My Papa Will be healed to, he has The Same case like you, My mother told me last week that My father is diagnosed stage 4 prostate cancer. I called him and I said to him that Everything Will be fine Pa🙏🏽

Thank you Mark. Your experience and knowledge has given me the inspiration and motivation to beat cancer. Best regards

Mark I am impressed listening to your story. My gut feeling is that because of your Will to live that also played a big role in your recovery. Take a lot of organic green juices like parsley , ginger, garlic, beets, and make celery juice from organic celery. If you like you can read about a Dental Surgeon who had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and refused the traditional cancer treatment. He struggled but ended free of his cancer and lived another twenty three years. His name and is Willian Donald Kelley from Kansas. God bless you Mark for sharing your story.
Thanks for the positive energy, I was impressed with the fact that, as you say, you have not been psychological affected much by the diagnosis …
Mark, you are a strong and positive man. Your courage and zeal to get healed already made you whole. Watching this brought a lot tears in my eyes. God still have something for you.
Watched this the day after I got my bone scan which showed spreading of my prostate cancer to bones & lymph nodes. Listening to Mark was very uplifting & encouraging!
Try vitamin D3, K2, Magnesium, cayenne pepper, ginger use far infra red to warm up your body, maybe they will help in pain relieve also.
!
1gram of cannabis oil a day for 60 days. Trust me
@@RAY-bg2posorry what did you mean by ginger use far .. can you please reply to what you meant. I want to try this for my father.
@@evaanchalo5723 Ginger is good for warming the body and enhance blood flow as It can enhanced nitric oxide. Better blood flow mean more O2 and nutrients to the cells and metabolic waste and Co2 out from the cells. You sure noticed when our pets were sicked, they ate grass and laid under the sun. Sun rays contain far infra red (FIR). Heat treatment will be one of the form of alternative treatment in the future, beside hyperbaric O2 and nutritions. As heat can activate our sluggish immune system.
What a great testimony. I'm glad I stumbled upon this.
Thank you Mark for sharing your story, It brings hope. Thank you.
God bless you and keep fighting the fight.
I'm right there with you Sir. Exactly the same prostate cancer stage 4 metastasize to lungs and bones. I was given 3 to 5 years to live. That was 7 years ago. Chemotherapy Taxetera and Lupron plus Xtandi has helped. But I put my life in the hands God and Jesus. The Holly Spirit made my cancer practically leave my body. My PSA has been undetectable less than 0.01 for several years now.
Pls go natural, remove anything sugar completely from your meal. herbs, seeds, spices, pure organic, non GMO Try this and see amazing result.
I had stage 4 prostate cancer and got rid of it through Lupron shots and Abiratone pills that reduced my PSA and it was all good for 1 year...it came back into my lungs and it is metastatic cancer. Any advice?
@@dukeblair7792 I don't know what type of pills those are, but my oncologist started me on the Xtandi several years ago and so far they are working just fine. Also there is a new nuclear medicine called LU177 that is like an immuno therapy. It attacks only the cancer cells and kills them.
Ask your oncologist about it.
Prayers for you brother.
@@dukeblair7792 It's spreading already. Use herbal blend mixture, ensure you get pure organics. Detoxification continuously, infection herbs, blushwood mix, we have our local here that we bring together, check your hormone profile, ensure you use herbs to balance them in case it is high or low (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, prognosis) check you immunohistology too work on balancing them daily with herbs mixture and they must be pure organic. After a month come back and tell me if it improved or not. That's how have been treating my patients. Some we mix with supplements but herbs are the main food. Check your organs, and make sure they are okay
AMEN
We are so proud of your determination ! God helped you a lot
Thank you Mark for being an inspiration, I'm in awe of your positivity and refusal not to live. Again, THANK YOU! Is there any chance you can share your diet?

cancer needs only glucose and glutamine…..cut all carbs/sugar…
Thank you Mark for sharing and the remarkable strength yiu have mentally. It is not easy but you have that gift only God can give.
