Margarita I. Olvera de Arrache
Breast Cancer
Mexico


"About 10 or 12 years ago, I had a mammogram done and a tumor in my breast was detected. My gynecologist consulted with an oncologist and they decided to recommend removing that breast. Naturally my husband and I did not want to have that done. We decided to get a second opinion from a close friend of my husband, Dr. Francisco Contreras. They had known each other for 29 years. After reviewing the mammogram, Dr. Contreras ordered a CT scan to determine the size and growth of the tumor.

With the results of the CT scan, it was time to determine what my treatment plan would be, considering my family history. My father had endured cancer for a few years and he never let the doctors treat him with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Instead, he acted on the recommendations of a nutritionist and adopted a very strict diet. I watched my dad’s life as the doctors told my mother to prepare everything for my father's funeral. I was only in 6th grade at the time and over the years I saw my father diagnosed with cancer a few more times. I want you to know that he lived until he was 85-years-old and didn't die of cancer; he died of a diabetic coma.

I shared my father’s story with Dr. Contreras and I completely rejected chemotherapy and radiation. We decided with Dr. Contreras to try alternative therapies integrating a strict diet and supplements that the hospital’s laboratory has formulated. In addition, for three years I did not consume any sugar, honey, salt, dairy, fat, oil, butter, margarine, fried foods, dried fruit, meat, chicken, fish, flour, coffee, black tea, alcoholic beverages, or any liquids with my meals.

Now, I don't eat any protein after midday because cancer patients have a hard time digesting proteins. I eat fruits, which are faster to digest than proteins and vegetables after midday."
