886. My Purpose in Life Is to Ensure That No Child Has to Go Through What I Did

“I trained as a firefighter and worked in the field for a handful of years when an opportunity with a work-exchange program in Costa Rica came up. While I enjoyed many aspects of the occupation of firefighting, I knew there was something better for me. The two months in that program gave me some time to reflect on how to best use my talents for myself and the world at large. I had a website for a long time and shared my knowledge by writing articles, but the more I reflected on my life, I realized that my mother’s death was the catalyst that gave my life purpose. Her tragic death from cancer when I was only 12 years old gave me a story to tell that would inspire others. She also gave me a mind that could find the answers to questions about this disease that I had been researching for several years that the world was literally dying to know. I began writing my first book on cancer.”

1. My dad had a good job as manager of a sporting goods store, but he realized he wanted something better. So he risked everything and started his own shoe distribution company from scratch. He put in endless hours working on his own at first until he gradually built a base of clients, added staff, and fast forward to today and his business is thriving.

2. School bored me until in grade school the teacher assigned projects that you could work on outside of the classroom that were outside of the typical curriculum—more creative if you will. I created a project on poison dart frogs that was so outside the box of what my fellow students did—according to my teacher—that I realized I had a talent that was unique, even at that young age.

3. My mother’s cancer had been treated with radiation therapy and later with chemotherapy when the radiation was not effective. When I began my deep dive into the science behind cancer, referencing over 2,500 scientific and clinical studies for my books, it finally became clear to me that cancer is not genetic, it is metabolic and can be reversed.

4. A German scientist, Otto Warburg, who won two Nobel prizes for the research he did in the late 1920’s found that cancer was a cell with damaged mitochondria and just by knocking out one of the enzymes critical for energy production within that cell, that can cause the damage and turn the cell “cancerous.”

5. It takes courage to do what you were put here to do. In my experience the key to opening yourself up, the finding that purpose, is giving your mind and soul the time and, honestly, silence to listen to the answers that have been inside of you all along.
