In this Podcast we talk about how goal setting can lead to better health. The year is almost up and maybe it’s time to sit down with pen and paper and get some goals written down. I, Rick Hill, been setting written goals now since 1975 and I highly recommend you listen and consider.

The Role of Exercise in Total Cancer Recovery—Rick Hill Exercise? Are you nuts? People in the throws of having cancer rarely think about heading to the gym for a sweaty workout—especially if they’ve had a lot of surgery. But new evidence says that even a moderate exercise routine can keep you well!

This week: Genti Saputro, MD. Dr. Genti, as she calls herself, has a fascinating story. After she became a medical doctor in Indonesia, she moved to Wisconsin with her new husband who was studying at the university. After living on the "Great American Diet" for six years, Dr. Genti had put on 40 pounds and had tumors growing in three places, including breast cancer. She stopped everything she was doing and put herself and her whole family on the "Hallelujah Diet," which is fundamentally an all organic Vegan-like diet. In six months she was cancer-free and both her husband and daughter, who had been having health problems, cleared up completely. Now she is headed back to Indonesia to open a health center similar to Oasis of Hope. Interesting and motivational. It worked for her, it just might work for you!

In this Podcast we examine together the tremendous range of emotions that are fairly typical of cancer patients. Rick Hill, who is entering his 39th year as a Oasis of Hope cancer survivor describes in detail his mood swings and how he dealt with learning he had a terminal disease. One thing is for sure, he was no superman.

Rick Hill was treated at Oasis of Hope hospital in October of 1974. He had been diagnosed with stage three, high-grade embryonal cell carcinoma at the Mayo Clinic. There, Hill underwent almost ten hours of surgeries and chemo was ordered. When Rick heard about Oasis, he left Mayo before taking the chemo and at Oasis recovered beautifully and had maintained that health for over 38 years! In this challenging and heart-wrenching podcast, Hill takes about a giant decision every cancer patient must make: Is my life worth saving? Some would rather die than give up smoking, stop drinking, or change their diet. Rick estimates that as many as 80% of the patients that come to Oasis are off their organic diet and lifestyle in less than 90 days. Why is that? Hill is convinced these patients need to RESET their life, make some monumental decisions so that their life is worth saving. Don't miss this podcast because this content could mean life or death.

WHAT MAKES THE OASIS OF HOPE DIFFERENT? With Daniel Kennedy, CEO What makes the Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana different from all the other alternative treatment centers? CEO, Daniel Kennedy tackles this issue. Back in the 70s, there were really only two main centers for alternative care in Mexico; The Oasis of Hope clinic and the Gerson Diet Center. Today, after over 50 years, there are over a dozen centers with several in the United States including our own in Irvine, CA. While we are extremely happy that the work Dr. Contreras started so long ago has spread, it makes the decision difficult for a cancer patient. The success of the Oasis of Hope Hospital has spawned dozens of other centers that are trying to copy the Contreras method. Have they succeeded? Daniel Kennedy uses real data to show that not only was the Oasis of Hope Hospital one of the first centers, it remains the most successful!

WE DON'T MAKE YOU SICK TO GET YOU WELL! The first thing one notices is that when you visit the hospital at lunch time, there are some pretty enthusiastic stage 4 patients sitting around the lunch tables chatting away like they were having high tea in London. This contrast is pretty large if you visit a traditional chemotherapy or radiation type hospital treatment center. There, you see people who can't get out of bed, have lost their hair, and are so nauseous they can't eat anything. We think you should lose the cancer, not your hair!

This podcast features Daniel Kennedy, the CEO of Oasis of Hope, discussing the 50th Anniversary for the Oasis of Hope hospital. This was the birth place of what is now known as alternative cancer treatment pioneered by Dr. Ernesto Contreras. It was the Contreras family that fought all the early battles with regulators, public opinion, and an entire medical community that was resistant to change both in the United States and Mexico. Today, The Oasis of Hope hospital is a modern hospital located in the beautiful beach area of Tijuana equipped with surgical facilities, diagnostic labs, and capable of treating up to 100 patients on a daily basis. What's ahead? Excitement! The "New Oasis of Hope," rolled out in the next 12 months, will reflect a new commitment to patient care long after they leave Oasis for treatment. Several programs are being developed that will provide every patient with Life-Time Support: 1. The Cancer Support Show-- A weekly podcast program interviewing doctors and patients with ideas on how to navigate a new way of living. 2.Cooking with the Doctor Show-- A weekly video introducing nutritional cooking, recipe ideas, and important nutritional information about foods. 3.Boot Camp: A weekly program, live at the hospital, with a step by step program for long-term success. 4.The Ambassador program--Giving patients a practical roadmap for introducing new people to the Oasis way of Life. 5.Oasis of Hope Annual Convention--Held in beautiful San Diego, the will be an annual event featuring top doctors, patient testimonials, and vendors with the latest in alternative/integrative care.

HERE IS THE SHOW WE PROMISED! It is the Mother of all topics for alternative care patients. It is the Big Kahuna of topics. Yep, we are talking about FOOD in this Podcast. It's easier to be brave and heroic if it's a single event. But with food, most people get hungry three times or more a day. We are constantly bombarded with TV commercials asking us if "We want it our way?" (fried and sugar filled). Listen to this timely and informative podcast on how to view the world of nutritious foods in your quest to obtain vibrant and long-lasting health!

Welcome to our second Podcast centered around VISIT, LEARN & DECIDE. What if you could visit a cancer center, get diagnosed, have a treatment plan drawn up, stay a couple of days to talk to the other patients, walk on the beach and eat three meals a day at an all-natural buffet? At no cost? I'd guess that Cancer Center was pretty confident that once you saw the whole program you'd sign in for treatment without delay. Making the decision to go and get treated is the second hardest part of alternative care. Oasis of Hope Medical Group makes that decision much easier by meeting you half way. The hardest part? Starting your new life when you get home and that's what the Cancer Support Show is all about. Get comfortable, get a glass of carrot juice, listen and enjoy this second in our series. To your good health!

Welcome to the Cancer Support Show, sponsored by the Oasis of Hope Health Group. Our goal to provide a series of Podcasts, supported by videos, that answer the question, "How do I live my life after treatment?" The real challenge begins on a Monday morning when you need to start a new life. New habits, new diet, maybe new friends, and a whole lot of new goals. This takes time and some mentoring. Each week we will post encouraging, helpful information that has been designed by doctors and patients who have been involved for over 35 years. This is not theory, this is what works for the long haul. Now, sit back, relax, get a cup of organic green tea, and enjoy our first show!
