Given only five years to live, a woman claims that she had beaten cancer by eating pineapples and ditching her husband.
Candice-Marie Fox was shocked when she was told that she only had five years to live after thyroid cancer spread to other parts of her body.
The 31-year-old was offered chemotherapy; however declined, claiming that it had “killed” friends of hers and instead overhauled her life by eating up to three pineapples a day.
In addition to pineapples, Fox ate dozens of grapefruits, lemons, apples, kiwis and bananas.
Within six months her grade four cancer was almost gone and astonished doctors have now confirmed that the marketing worker is completely free of tumors.
Fox now runs a website encouraging others to take control of their health.
"There is a protein in animal products that feeds the cancers and when I was eating big hefty meals my body couldn't heal because all the energy is going into digesting the meal,” she said.
"If I was eating one bit of fruit at a time, I was killing the cancer and within six months my cancer was gone.”
Candice found a lump above her left collarbone in 2011 and an ultrasound revealed around 20 papillary thyroid carcinomas.
Despite going through treatment, the cancer had spread to her liver and the back of her neck and she had a maximum of five years to live.
Doctors told her to come back in six months for chemotherapy to reduce the incurable cancer but Candice refused.
"I decided I had five years left, or six months to get rid of this crap, and show them that I can do it on my own. I started eating so much fruit and I spent weeks on a fruit only diet."
In addition to this, she joined a positive-thinking dance group which performs in public places, and took up meditation and also gave up her un-fulfilling job as a courier.
"My husband was not supportive and it wasn't working, we split up too.”
When she returned to her doctor six months after her dire diagnosis tests confirmed she had almost completely killed her cancer.
"I'm living life on my terms now. I'm not upset, I'm not waking up sad, I'm waking up choosing what I want to do with my life."
