At the age of forty-two, Jane Plant received her initial breast cancer diagnosis. She was only given two months to live after her breast cancer returned for the fifth time. She was devastated because she was responsible for three small children. However, Jane and her spouse chose not to accept the cancer diagnosis as a death sentence and instead looked into alternative cancer treatments.
The Discovery
They discovered that the breast cancer rate in China was well below the one in the United States. After more research Jane and her husband figured out that this drastic difference in statistics was related to diet. So Jane decided to dedicate herself to following a predominantly Chinese diet.
This includes:
- low animal protein
- no dairy
- lots of fruits
- vegetables
- nuts and pulses
Six weeks after her diet change, Jane’s tumour had went away. While Jane felt hopeful, her oncologist said that the tumor would return.
Yet, six years later, Jane was struck with an epiphany: “I’m not dead — I’m still not dead.” Those words repeated in her head over and over for the rest of the day. And she knew she could finally allow herself to believe she had beaten cancer.
Jane has continued to stay on this diet, and her tumour has yet to return. 17 years after Jane’s diagnosis she has remained cancer free, a miracle Jane attributes to her adapting an amazing diet!
