What Is CrossFit?

5 Comments 19 July 2011

Exercise is a critical component to getting healthy and staying healthy.   Everyone knows this.  Moving your body gets your all juices flowing.   Mostly importantly it increases blood and lymphatic circulation, both of which are imperative in the healing process. I exercised a lot in the first few years of my cancer diagnosis. Especially short runs and rebounding. But I didn't do much weight training... And I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I had a local gym membership that I've barely used in the last 10 years. CrossFit got me excited about working out again.

The Most Powerful Flavonoid in the Galaxy!

9 Comments 14 April 2011

I first heard of this flavonoid from one of my heroes, Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D. Blaylock is a recently retired board-certified neurosurgeon and one of the rare M.D.'s out there that has also devoted his time to become an expert on natural therapies despite criticism from the medical community at large. He's an expert on the specific nutrients within food that strengthen your immune system, help your body fight cancer, and minimize the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. The fact that Blaylock is an M.D. lends a lot of credibility to his research and message. Alright enough about Blaylock, the super flavonoid is...

Freakonomics vs. Cancer Treatment. And the winner is…

3 Comments 16 September 2010

Economist Steven Levitt and writer Stephen Dubner are two awesome dudes who teamed up to write two of my favorite books in the last few years. They use research and statistical analysis to solve some of the most complex riddles of modern life. Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover that they spent some time studying the cancer treatment industry. The question they address in SuperFreakonomics is this: "Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective?"

Sea Salt vs.Table Salt. Does It Really Matter?

6 Comments 12 September 2010

You've probably heard that a diet high in sodium is unhealthy because it is a risk factor for Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease. Processed foods have very high levels of salt, and a diet high in salt actually leads to salt dependence by your body. This is why you crave salty foods; just like a smoker craves the nicotine in a cigarette.

Kicking the Sacred Cow: Does Milk Really Do Your Body Good?

14 Comments 07 September 2010

In case you hadn't noticed, the dairy industry is spending millions of dollars every year to convince you that you need to drink milk, like superman here. Since 1993 they've paid hundreds of celebrities to pose with a milk mustache for the "Got Milk?" ads. But in recent years conventional wisdom about milk has been turned udders up, and a different kind of milk is making a big comeback.

Corn: Is this “Vegetable” Healthy?

6 Comments 03 September 2010

Although most folks think of corn as a vegetable, it's actually a high starch grain. And you may be surprised to know that it has very little health benefit compared to other produce, which is why we don't really eat much of it anymore in our house. King Corn is a independent documentary film about the corn industry in America. Here's are some notes from the film mixed in with my research and comments:

Tea Up! My Favorite Healthy Teas

11 Comments 28 August 2010

Another key component in my cancer fight was drinking copious amounts of herbal teas. Specifically the ones with high anti-oxidant and immune boosting properties. Most days I would have a hot cup in the morning, iced herbal tea with meals, and a hot cup before bed. I highly recommend you get these super healthy teas into your body, pronto!

Sleep with me

8 Comments 17 August 2010

We've all heard that most people need 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but you may need much more, like 9-10.  Not getting enough sleep night after night leads to a "sleep deficit" that keeps growing.  And with that sleep deficit comes a gradual degradation of your health. A major key to health is figuring out how much sleep you need, then getting it.

THE BUSINE$$ OF CHEMO

4 Comments 15 August 2010

In January of 2004, one month after my surgery, my wife Micah and I went to the cancer clinic for the first time. It didn't go so well. I had already decided against chemotherapy after researching successful alternative therapies. To my dismay, my decision was not well received by my wife, family and friends. After many heartfelt and well-meaning "interventions", I reluctantly agreed to go meet with an oncologist to hear what he had to say.

The Fast Lane to Health: How to Detox

2 Comments 12 August 2010

If you're eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you're putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical and mineral compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.

Hi there!

My name is Chris Wark.
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer in 2003, at the ripe old age of 26.
I had surgery, but refused chemo.
Instead I radically changed my diet and did every natural, non-toxic, alternative therapy I could find.
By the grace of God, I'm alive and kicking, and cancer-free!
People are always asking me about it, so I started this blog to share how I transformed my health and beat cancer without chemo.
This information saved my life!
