This Christmas, mistletoe hung over doorways will take on an entirely different meaning

The most powerful cancer-fighter of Christmas

She’s a striking woman in her early 40s. Ivelisse lights up a room. She’s one of those passionate people who is just full of life.

At least she is today.

You see, Ivelisse was essentially on the brink of death less than a decade ago, when her doctor first said the word, “cancer.”

She was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer when she was in her late 30s. As a wife and a mother of four, she had at least five great reasons to fight her disease with all her might.

But her situation was desperate. Her chance of survival was less than 10 percent.

Then, just five weeks after a brutal colon surgery, her doctor stunned her with the news that cancer had spread to her liver.

Again, she went under the knife to remove the tumor.

You will survive

At this point, the chance that chemotherapy would help Ivelisse survive was very low. So she opted for an alternative medicine protocol instead. This included mistletoe and thymus injections, along with various supplements.

No chemo. No radiation.

Four years later, Ivelisse is alive. She’s thriving. And she’s cancer-free.

What’s more, she doesn’t have to worry about secondary cancers that chemo and radiation often cause.

Ivelisse’s remarkable experience launched another mission. She and her husband established “Believe Big” — an organization that offers guidance for cancer patients and their families.

They also promote alternative medicine. But this is far more than just a recommendation. They’ve actually begun work on a mistletoe clinical trial with none other than Johns Hopkins Hospital.

If you or someone you care about has cancer, you can take advantage of Believe Big resources immediately by going to their website — believebig.org.
