How a Woman Overcame Cancer Through Dietary Changes: A Journey of Hope

Liana Werner-Gray’s battle with cancer began 15 years ago, and she credits significant lifestyle changes, particularly in her diet, for her survival. In her view, these alterations were pivotal to her healing process.

During an interview with Fox News Digital on Capitol Hill, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was addressing his Health and Human Services secretary hearing, Werner-Gray shared her remarkable health transformation.

A Life-Altering Diagnosis

At just 21, living in Australia, Werner-Gray received a shocking diagnosis: a tumor and early-stage cancer affecting her lymphatic system. Additionally, she faced chronic fatigue, parasites, and other digestive issues.

Werner-Gray described the lymphatic system as the body’s sewage system, emphasizing that cancer in this area often results from excessive toxins in the body.

Recognizing the Role of Diet

Believing her diet was to blame, Werner-Gray stated, “I knew it was because of my diet. Because my diet was horrendous.” This realization prompted her to reject traditional cancer treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Instead, she initiated a radical lifestyle change focusing on her nutrition. Partnering with a naturopath and a functional doctor, she embarked on what she referred to as a “massive detox plan,” particularly prioritizing her gut health.

Positive Results and Recovery

Werner-Gray quickly observed significant improvements. “After three months, the tumor had completely dissolved,” she recounted, adding that her other health issues improved as well.

Her recovery inspired her to create “The Earth Diet,” initially a blog where she shared her dietary practices that contributed to her health restoration.

“The Earth Diet” is about returning to nature and consuming whole foods provided by God, said Werner-Gray. Her book, titled “The Earth Diet,” was first published in 2014, five years after her transformative journey began.

Advocacy for Healthier Choices

Since then, Werner-Gray has authored several books aimed at addressing physical and mental conditions through dietary changes. She expressed the necessity of movements like Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), asserting that it addresses critical health challenges in the U.S.

“Over 1,600 people die from cancer each day in the U.S.,” she noted. “That’s just not acceptable.” Werner-Gray believes in the preventability of cancer and emphasizes the importance of dietary changes to combat the rising statistics.

Expert Insights on Cancer Treatment

Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical professor at NYU Langone Health and Fox News senior medical analyst, acknowledged that diet and exercise play significant roles in cancer treatment and recovery. He highlighted that standard treatment methods, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, are crucial components of cancer care, especially as biotechnology evolves.

He also mentioned the potential of artificial intelligence to match patients with personalized treatment plans, demonstrating that a holistic approach is essential, which may also include prayer.

Additionally, Nicole Saphier, M.D., an associate professor at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, pointed out that navigating cancer treatment remains complex. “Every individual’s cancer journey is unique,” she stated, indicating that different methods may work for different people.

The Importance of a Balanced Approach

Saphier advocates for a balanced treatment strategy that allows natural remedies to complement traditional medical practices. She believes the specifics of each individual’s cancer type, overall health, and personal beliefs should guide treatment choices.

Despite some anecdotal accounts of success through natural treatments, she cautioned about the varying responses among individuals. “I have seen many people suffer and die who have forgone traditional treatment for natural methods alone,” she said, stressing the importance of fully understanding the risks and benefits of any treatment.

Empowerment Through Knowledge

Ultimately, it is crucial for patients to be informed about their treatment options. The journey through cancer is deeply personal and requires a thoughtful, informed approach to health. Awareness of diverse methods can empower individuals in their fight against cancer.
