Cancer: Terrain Theory & Emotional Healing | Dr. Sharon Stills

[00:00:00] Dr. Sharon Stills: I think where I differ very much from mainstream. Where in mainstream oncology, they cut it out, they chemo it, or they radiate it. We didn’t do any of that. We did not use chemo or radiation.

[00:00:14] I find better results when we don’t use those things for the most part. Now, I’m not saying anyone listening, you should stop your treatments. I’m a doctor, but I’m probably not your doctor. So you have to check with your doctor what’s best for you.

[00:00:27] But in mainstream, that’s what they do. And when it’s cured ,when the tumor is gone, they say you’re cured. And then they just either put you on a pharmaceutical or they monitor you with a lot of radiation and testing. And they say, you know, we’re done. We’ve done our job.

[00:00:43] Dr. Z: Yep, yep. 

[00:00:44] Dr. Sharon Stills: Whereas I’m like, no, our job is just beginning because we’re looking at this from a terrain based perspective. And what kind of circumstances were happening within your body that a tumor was like, “Ooh, this looks like a comfy place. I think I’m gonna set up shop here and grow and live and thrive.”

[00:01:04] And so the take home message is if you have had a cancer diagnosis, if you’re dealing with one, if you’re past it, there’s still work to be done.

[00:01:19] Dr. Z new: Welcome to the Natural Living Family Podcast, where we help you say no to overwhelm and yes to intentional living so you could take your health back God’s way.

Because the truth is God has a beautiful plan for your life, and yes, your health matters to him. Are you ready to get started? Awesome. Let’s dive in….

[00:02:05] Dr. Z: We’ve been taught to fear cancer, to see it as an enemy that strikes at random something to fight with surgery, radiation, and drugs. But what if there’s more to the story? What if healing requires more than just attacking a tumor? What if the real answer lies in addressing the terrain? The emotional, spiritual, and biological soil or cancer takes root.

[00:02:25] Dr. Sharon Stills is a naturopathic medical doctor and host of the Science of Self-Healing Podcast. For over 20 years, she’s helped patients all over the world reimagine what true healing looks like. She blends science, ancient wisdom, and natural medicine to treat the whole person, not just the disease.

[00:02:43] In today’s conversation, we dive deep into the emotional component of cancer, the power of somatic therapy, faith, colorpuncture, and the importance of healing the inner terrain. Dr. Stills shares her insights on what conventional medicine often misses and how we could support lasting soul leveling healing.

[00:03:17] All right, dear friend, thanks so much for being here, Dr. Sharon. 

[00:03:21] Dr. Sharon Stills: Thank you for having me. Always exciting to chat with you. 

[00:03:25] Dr. Z: I love this just sweet little relationship that we’re developing. I was just interviewed by you, you’re interviewed by me. Like this is really what I love about our community, and I’m just so blessed to be part of it and to get to know you personally.

[00:03:36] Just deep respect, truly deep respect for you and how you’re helping so many people and you’re just, I wouldn’t say common sense, viewpoint of how to handle all this stuff. And so for those people who aren’t familiar with you and your work. Especially in context of how you’re helping cancer patients, would love for you just, to share that short story. 

[00:03:54] Dr. Sharon Stills: Sure. Yeah. And thank you. I feel the same way. So very grateful. Very grateful. Yeah. So I actually went to naturopathic medical school to be a pediatrician, and when I opened up my clinic back in 2002, the seventh patient in my door was a gentleman.

[00:04:13] I used to say he was an elderly gentleman, but he was in his late sixties and now that I’m 57, I don’t call him an elderly gentleman anymore.

[00:04:22] Dr. Z: Yeah.

[00:04:22] Dr. Sharon Stills: A young lad, you know, came walking in with his wife and he said, we saw your sign. You know, my sign on the street says “Naturopathic Solutions; Place for balanced living.”

[00:04:32] He said, I was just diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. They told me, you know, go home and get my affairs in order. I’ve got a couple of months till the end. And he said, so we want you to help us. And I was like, you know, I had never seen a patient dealing with cancer in all of my medical rotations and everything. It just wasn’t what I was focused on.

[00:04:56] But here I had this lovely man and his wife in front of me, scared and needing help. And I said to them, look, I’ve never worked with anyone dealing with cancer, especially such a, you know, severe diagnoses, but I have philosophy and principles of how the body heals and how the body works, and I’m really happy to apply that to you but I make no promises.

[00:05:19] Not that I make promises anyway, because we just facilitate things. And so they said, okay. And you know, I barely even charged them. I felt like, oh my God, who am I to be like in charge of whether he lives or dies.

[00:05:34] And so I remember our first appointment. We spent like an hour talking about why margarine was bad and butter was better. And I thought, they are really not in our world of natural healing. This is gonna be a real swim upstream. But when you are faced with death, you are willing to make changes. And so they did.

[00:05:56] They made all the changes, I said, and started doing coffee enemas and coming in for IVs and drinking the pure… they would come and fill their water jugs from my water filter.

[00:06:09] Dr. Z: Awesome.

[00:06:10] Dr. Sharon Stills: And doing all the things, taking high doses of enzymes and all the things that I kind of pieced together on how I could help him. And so long story short, he ended up being cured and he went on to live another 10 years. He got to walk his daughter down the aisle.

[00:06:33] Dr. Z: Aw.

[00:06:33] Dr. Sharon Stills: And he died of unrelated causes. He died from a cardiac issue that he was born with. A problem with his valve. He didn’t die because of the cancer, but when he got his report that he was, free of cancer, they invited me to their church to pray for me that I had helped him. And it was this big Christian Church that had a lot of people going there.

[00:07:02] And so they brought me there and the next thing I knew, ’cause there were a lot of people there. And so a lot of people. A lot of people had someone they knew with cancer, or dealing with themselves. So the next thing I knew, my office was being flooded with patients saying, well, now I want help.

[00:07:19] So that’s kind of how I became a naturopathic oncologist. And every morning I pray and I say, you know, God, send me who I can help. Send me who I can be of service to. And so that was the plan for me. It wasn’t what I had gone. Like I said, I’d never seen a cancer case my whole time in med school.

[00:07:38] And then very shortly after, I had another patient come in who was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer, and he was from an Orthodox Jewish community and same thing.

[00:07:53] He, he was actually, he went to see Dr. Gonzales. 

[00:07:57] Dr. Z: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You know, 

[00:07:58] Dr. Sharon Stills: I was pulling pieces for the other patient. I was doing the high dose pancreatic enzymes, and Dr. Gonzalez, I’m not really sure what happened, but he told him he couldn’t help him and he turned him away. And so he showed up on my doorstep.

[00:08:11] And I don’t believe in turning anyone away because miracles are always waiting around the corner. So I said, come in, and same thing helped him. His cancer was cured and then he told his whole community. So then we had, so we had a very fun waiting room. It was very, spirited and lots of people there, from different beliefs, but all getting along together and healing. and so that just really flooded me with patients who were dealing with cancer and needed help.

[00:08:46] And so one of the things I just wanna point out is that the second patient, he also lived a very long time, but he got lazy. 

[00:08:59] Dr. Z: Mmmm 

[00:08:59] Dr. Sharon Stills: He felt like he had beat his cancer and he stopped coming in for treatments and kind of fell off the bandwagon and his cancer ended up coming back years later. It was, gosh, maybe 12, 13 years later. I mean, he lived a long time.

[00:09:18] But it ended up coming back and it was throughout his spine. And so the message I wanna give here is, I think where I differ very much from mainstream. Where in mainstream oncology, they cut it out, they chemo it, or they radiate it. We didn’t do any of that. We did not use chemo or radiation.

[00:09:39] I find better results when we don’t use those things for the most part. Now, I’m not saying anyone listening, you should stop your treatments. I’m a doctor, but I’m probably not your doctor. So you have to check with your doctor what’s best for you.

[00:09:52] But in mainstream, that’s what they do. And when it’s cured ,when the tumor is gone, they say you’re cured. And then they just either put you on a pharmaceutical or they monitor you with a lot of radiation and testing. And they say, you know, we’re done. We’ve done our job.

[00:10:08] Dr. Z: Yep, yep. 

[00:10:09] Dr. Sharon Stills: Whereas I’m like, no, our job is just beginning because we’re looking at this from a terrain based perspective. And what kind of circumstances were happening within your body that a tumor was like, “Ooh, this looks like a comfy place. I think I’m gonna set up shop here and grow and live and thrive.”

[00:10:28] And so the take home message is if you have had a cancer diagnosis, if you’re dealing with one, if you’re past it, there’s still work to be done. There’s still healing that has to happen, and it’s not like you just get to say, okay, now I can go back to unhealthy ways.

[00:10:48] And so I think that’s really important because that second patient really illustrated that where he was doing great, but. It’s a human thing, right? We get lazy, we think, oh, we’re good. And we start to fall off the bandwagon. And the bandwagon really needs to be stayed on, is what I’m trying to say here.

[00:11:08] Dr. Z: Well, that five year gold standard of survival rate, that’s very myopic. I mean, that’s really what you’re saying, right? It’s like that seems to be once you’ve gotten through that five year, you’re a survivor and that doesn’t mean you could go back to living in the way that potentially caused or contributed to the cancer.

[00:11:27] So that’s brilliant by the way. And that’s a really very sobering. Thanks so much for sharing that because that’s very sobering. Yet what would’ve happened if they didn’t come to you or have gotten. Similar treatments we can only imagine that their life would’ve been taken much, much sooner. So there’s this whole quality of Lysa aspect too.

[00:11:47] You mentioned a couple things I wanna talk about. Your aha moment though, the first thing before we go into the terrain based perspective, which is very different.

[00:11:55] I think most people have haven’t heard about that. At least for me. I know that’s something relatively new in my world the last year or two. I’m hearing people talk that language. I want you to flesh terrain based what that means, but before just curious your first patient.

[00:12:08] Go back to the first patient like what was your, if you remember, one or two, or maybe three things like, I never thought about this, or, wow, this is gonna change how I practice. What aha moments or two did you have because you were literally practicing medicine in the way you should have and you did it the right way?

[00:12:27] Dr. Z new: Hey, friend, real quick, if you’ve been listening and thinking, I wanna live this way, but I need help, well, that’s exactly why we created the Bible Health Academy. It’s our monthly mentorship and training hub packed with Bible health solutions, non-toxic living strategies, and the like-minded community.

[00:12:43] You need to walk in the abundant life God designed for you. Whether you’re brand new to natural living or ready to go deeper, this is where transformation happens from the inside out. Visit biblehealthacademy.com to learn more. We hope you’ll join us.

[00:12:59] Dr. Sharon Stills: Yeah, I mean, one of the aha moments was that this patient didn’t have an emotional component, and that’s really rare. So I think that made it, you know, it was definitely an a good thing for him, but it made my job easier too.

[00:13:19] Because he truly, he was a man of faith, he had a great marriage, he had great kids. He was happy. There wasn’t anything really that needed… there was no trauma. You know, this is rare.

[00:13:33] Because usually, I mean, cancer is always multifactorial. There’s always, it’s a bucket that gets filled up with various different things. But typically I find, and I’m sure most people find, that the emotional component is a big piece filling the bucket. Whether it is trauma from childhood or anger at a current situation.

[00:13:59] I see a lot of women who get diagnosed with breast cancer right after, or within a year, of being betrayed…

[00:14:07] Dr. Z: mm-hmm.

[00:14:08] Dr. Sharon Stills: Of getting divorced, of having problems with a male family member or male boss. It’s very common. There’s a lot of themes that go from, sort of from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective and an energetic. But there are themes that go with different cancers and so usually the emotions play a big part.

[00:14:31] And something pretty much during the patient’s journey with me I always hear is, you know, Dr. Stills, this may sound cra… I see there’s two things I hear a lot.

[00:14:43] So one in context with this is, “You know, Dr. Stills. This may sound crazy, but I’m really glad I got the cancer because it enabled me to…” and you can fill in the blank with: heal my relationship. Take care of myself. Walk away from something that was unhealthy, whether it was a job, or a community, or a relationship. It really puts things into perspective.

[00:15:08] And so the other thing I hear all the time is, and this is usually in the first appointment, I don’t understand why I got diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Still is because I never get sick. 

[00:15:20] Dr. Z: Mm-hmm.

[00:15:20] Dr. Sharon Stills: And so those are two common statements that I hear. But back to your question and I can dig into those deeper if you’d like.

[00:15:28] But back to your question, so that was a big aha moment, like, wow, I. He’s kind of done half the work for me. We just have to really focus on the physical body and turning things around, and working on his diet, and making sure he’s getting oxidative therapies, and all the things.

[00:15:50] And for me, it was the first time I had worked with someone who was facing death. And it really made me see how motivated we can be when we are facing our own death. It really made me think, gosh, how can we learn to live where we are motivated even if we don’t have a sentence of death looming over our heads.

[00:16:19] Because one, this life is so precious and such a gift and I think we take it for granted and we forget to live in a way where we are just, you know… Every morning when I wake up, I say a prayer.

[00:16:34] And it’s like, oh my God, thank you God. I’ve got another day in front of me. How am I gonna co-create with you? How am I gonna use it? I’m so grateful. I got to wake up. And I think if we can learn to live in that mindset rather than waiting till we have a severe diagnosis, it just would make our whole lives and the world a much better place.

[00:16:58] Dr. Z: Well, that story just underscores the importance of faith, the importance of emotional wellbeing, emotional health, and you’re not the first. And for those listening who, this might be the first time you’ve heard that cancer at its root, for many people is an emotional disorder.

[00:17:13] I’ve heard this multiple times over. Multiple times from integrative oncologists and friends of mine like Dr. Tony Jimenez and others. This is real. And there’s always, typically, that’s why Dr. Tony always brings people through emotional recall healing. That’s part of his protocol.

[00:17:26] Dr. Sharon Stills: Mm-hmm.

[00:17:27] Dr. Z: With that said, do you have a couple notes about that? Or do you have any tidbits that you could share to wrap up the emotional context of the discussion?

[00:17:36] I’m thinking what emotional detoxification strategies do you recommend or any sort of therapies that you think people can even start to investigate now, regardless if they have cancer? ‘Cause we all should be living a cancer preventative lifestyle anyway. So can you go down a little bit of things that you’ve seen over the years, help people?

[00:17:55] Dr. Sharon Stills: Yeah, and it’s funny. When my son, Dr. Ben, decided he was gonna go become a naturopathic physician like me, one of the first things I did was take him over to Dr. Tony’s ’cause he’s a good friend of mine too.

[00:18:08] Dr. Z: Yeah, yeah.

[00:18:08] Dr. Sharon Stills: He went over to Tijuana to shadow and watch patients, and that’s what stood out to my son, the emotional recall healing work.

[00:18:18] Dr. Z: Yeah. 

[00:18:18] Dr. Sharon Stills: Like, wow, that, really stood out to him as a first time, like not even a medical student yet. And so, yeah, I think it’s different strokes for different folks. I don’t have anything against talk therapy. I think it can be very beneficial. But I think we need to go deeper.

[00:18:34] Dr. Z: Mm-hmm.

[00:18:35] Dr. Sharon Stills: Than just talking, ’cause then we’re just kind of like recycling. So I like somatic therapies.

[00:18:41] I love Family Constellation Therapies, which is the work of Bert Hellinger from Germany, which really ties in the whole constellation of your ancestors. Because I think of it if like our families, were a web and what happened with an ancestor pulls on the web and affects us. So it’s really good to clear any generational trauma. So I’m a really big fan of that.

[00:19:08] I really love if you can find someone who does Jungian sandbox therapy is phenomenal. EMDR of course can be very helpful in. Reprocessing movement. Doing somatic body work is really important. And I love colorpuncture, which is something that I practice, and again, is from Germany.

[00:19:30] So a lot of what I do comes from Europe, which is how I got taught about terrain based and European biological medicine. What I credit with enabling me to help people when they can’t get help anywhere else because of the different philosophy and how I see things.

[00:19:47] Dr. Z: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 

[00:19:48] Dr. Sharon Stills: And so colorpuncture is the work of Peter Mandel from a small town in Bruchsal, Germany, and this is where using different colors and lights into different acupuncture points and meridians on the body. And it’s rebalancing.

[00:20:04] So it’s working on biophotons, which now is becoming more popular ’cause people are talking about energy, and Dr. Joe Dispenza and, the quantum biology and quantum medicine. And so this is working on, he developed it with Fritz Popp who won the Nobel Prize about biophoton. And basically, light is a way that you can have these cells communicate to each other. So when we put light into a point on the body it goes in deeper beneath the biochemistry, beneath the physiology, and talks to the cells and makes changes.

[00:20:42] And so we can unravel whether you have trauma from the prenatal period when you were in utero, or whether it’s an issue with your mother or your father. Which, often, a lot of the trauma and emotional stuff because our worldviews get formed by the times… There’s different thoughts, some say by five, some may say by seven.

[00:21:03] But our inner child, our inner voice, how we speak to ourself is formed in those early formative years. And so a lot of times we have to go back and kind of unravel and reparent ourselves and relove on ourselves. And realize that some of the beliefs we’re carrying around are not really true. Are not really serving us.

[00:21:24] And a lot of times we’ve just fallen out of alignment with why we’re here and what really brings us joy. And so I have found. A cancer diagnosis, you know, it smacks you in the face. And it really makes you think about things.

[00:21:41] But I have patients, which it might sound a little eery. But I like patients, and anyone who’s listening can do this, to do a eulogy exercise, where you write your eulogy. And then you reverse engineer.

[00:21:59] Are you living into your eulogy? Right? How do you wanna be remembered? How, what is the legacy? How do you want people to talk about you when you’re gone? Like, oh my God, she was always supporting in her community, or you would always see her on the dance floor, or she was so connected to her passions or traveling, or whatever it is.

[00:22:22] And so when you let yourself dream in that way, then you get to go, well, am I actually? Are they gonna be able to say that about me? Is that actually what’s happening? Or am I not really living my best life? And so it gives you this opportunity to go.. I did it for myself and I wanna be remembered for many things, but for, you know, for volunteering. And when I did it, I was like, Ooh… I’m not really volunteering. I wanna be remembered for that, so I better change that so that I can actually be remembered and live into what I think my important values. And so it really comes to us ’cause no one’s gonna do that for you, not even a therapist. Right?

[00:23:03] We have to really take a hold of our lives and decide what we’re gonna do. And when it comes to cancer, I think we all, I had a patient say to me, and I almost fell off my chair, but we were talking about like eating. She was being very resistant to eating a healthy diet. And this was someone who’s in remission who we had gotten through a breast cancer and now is doing that kind of, well, I’m cured that thing.

[00:23:36] And I was like, we still have to take care of you. We don’t wanna set up the stage where this could potentially return. And there’s a fine balance between living in fear and just living proactively that I’m very conscious of. We don’t wanna live in fear. And she said. Well, if the cancer comes back, then I’ll give up the gluten and the dairy.

[00:23:55] And I thought that is not a productive attitude.

[00:23:59] Dr. Z: No.

[00:23:59] Dr. Sharon Stills: That, you know, so when it comes to doing healthy choices, I, learned this myself, right?

[00:24:08] So I don’t eat dairy because dairy doesn’t like me. And I was very sick as a child and it turned out gluten and dairy were like at the root of most of my problems. But there was a time, and I’m talking 30 years, long time ago. But there was a time where I really loved creme brulee and I was like, well, I’m just gonna cheat and eat creme brulee ’cause I’m a creme brulee connoisseur. And I have to try it anywhere we go when we’re traveling.

[00:24:31] But I would eat the creme brulee. And then my nose would get stuffed and I’d get bloated and I’d feel miserable. And at some point I just said, you know what? As good as that  creme brulee tastes, it’s not worth taking away how good I normally feel. And I just became a big girl. And now when I look at creme brulee, I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

[00:24:54] Dr. Z: Mm-hmm.

[00:24:54] Dr. Sharon Stills: I feel like, ooh, 

[00:24:54] Dr. Z: I’m doing something.

[00:24:55] Dr. Sharon Stills: That’s not what I want. That’s not good for me. So I think a lot of times it’s just changing our mindset into how we heal, or not feeling like we’re being deprived, but actually feeling empowered that we’re making good choices for ourselves. 

[00:25:10] Dr. Z: Go one step further, I gotta praise my Mama Z.

[00:25:13] She has a gluten-free, dairy-free version of creme brulee that is to live for ’cause we don’t die for any food.

[00:25:19] And that’s what we do. It’s like we don’t sacrifice. We have all the pizzas and the cakes and the cookies very moderately though, but it’s all swapped. That’s a fun little adventure. That took a minute.

[00:25:29] Wow. There’s so much. We have time for one more question ’cause I know you have a patient coming in the office ’cause you are a practicing physician and that’s one thing I really love about you and your work.

[00:25:37] I’m a researcher, I’m an armchair doctor at best, right? So I don’t see patients. And so when I speak to someone who does, you’re in the front line. So A: there’s deep respect. But also, you know what’s working and you know what’s not. And so thank you for that.

[00:25:51] You know, as a Christian I wanna highlight one thing When we look at the Torah, when we look at the Book of Genesis, the first words in the Bible that we hear God say, is let there be light.

[00:26:00] And when you go through and when I see Yeshua, Jesus, being spoken of as the Light of the World, the word light is mentioned in the entire Bible, 371 times. There’s significance. So I just wanna put out there, for those of you listening right now, who share my faith this isn’t, “woo-woo”. This is real back science, but there’s also a huge spiritual component to light.

[00:26:25] And I wanna just caution us from throwing out the baby with the bath water. ’cause whenever we hear things like bioenergetics or metaphysical, whatever things, it’s like we just automatically like, oh, it’s snake oil, but it’s not. And there’s a lot to think about when it comes to color therapy and other things. Colorpuncture.

[00:26:42] Last question for you because I wish we had at least another hour, but we don’t. Mm-hmm. Just, just kind of clarify what you meant by terrain based perspective, because again, I think that still is a novel term for most people. And then any other parting words and then you go when you got to, ’cause I know you got a patient waiting for you.

[00:26:58] Dr. Sharon Stills: So terrain based. In mainstream we view the tumor as something we need to seek and destroy and kill. And we don’t… So a good example of this is a woman has a tumor in her breast and they give her a mastectomy. And they think that’s the cure. And then two years later, she has a tumor grow in her chest wall.

[00:27:23] Because it had nothing to do with cutting it out. It had to do with the environment. And so I’m looking very deeply, and this is whether its a tumor, or a bacteria, or a virus. I’m not looking to seek and kill. I’m looking to balance and support the terrain so that whatever the invader is goes, oh, I’m gonna move out. This is not a very comfortable hotel anymore.

[00:27:51] And so what affects the terrain? Well, definitely our emotions. Definitely our diet. Definitely our mouth. So most of my patients, especially if they’re dealing with cancer, they’re, they come in for their initial consult and they are off to the biological dentist because 

[00:28:13] Dr. Z: Oh, wow. 

[00:28:13] Dr. Sharon Stills: So much of disease and blockage. And so I’m looking for what’s blocking the body, what’s blocking the terrain.

[00:28:23] And whether it be amalgams, or mercury, or periodontal disease, or root canals, or cavitations that are infections in the bones where teeth were pulled, every tooth is connected to an organ system through traditional Chinese medicine.

[00:28:41] So for example, a big thing that we see, and I run thermography scans. Not like a picture, but actual temperature readings and we are checking the teeth. This is another technique from Germany.

[00:28:55] And so I see constantly the upper molars, which sit on the stomach meridian and the stomach meridian goes through the breast, so there’s a big connection. We’ll see a root canal in that tooth on the side of where the tumor is. And so because root canals are creating micro underlying infections in these tubules that nothing can get into.

[00:29:20] You can’t get oxygen in there, you can’t get flowing there. It sucks the immune system. It undermines the immune system. And so we start to get a problem on where the meridian is going through. So I do a lot of work.

[00:29:36] I’m not a dentist. I just, so I went to naturopathic medical school here in the States, but I have extensive training in Europe, in Germany and Switzerland. Because very early on in my infancy, when I was a student, I realized, oh, the doctors who really are getting people better are trained in Europe and they know a lot more than we do.

[00:29:56] So it was drilled into my head literally. And so I think now it’s become more popular and people talk about biological dentistry, but I think they like put it at the back burner if they’re gonna get to it. And to me it’s like first and foremost.

[00:30:11] Because 70% of what’s wrong could be right here in our mouths. And so we wanna get that cleaned up and cleared out. And finding a good biological dentist can be a little bit of a journey. ‘Cause you know, not all biological dentists are created equal, but that’s a really important part of the terrain.

[00:30:28] Then I’m clearing with neural therapy, clearing any scars that are blocking the energetics of the body. The nervous system of the body. The polarization of the body. If you have a scar, you can have nerve endings trapped in that scar, and that can be firing your ganglion, which can be causing all sorts of trauma in your body. So we’re clearing the body.

[00:30:54] We’re looking at the pH of the body. We’re looking at the mineral content of the body. The fatty acid content of the body. We’re looking at the toxic load of the body. We’re looking at the gut microbiome. We’re looking at any mold that’s an issue. Underlying infections. We’re digging really deep.

[00:31:15] Lifestyle, of course. Circadian rhythm. What is your relationship with the sun and nature? And so there’s a lot that goes into it. There’s all these things.

[00:31:26] And so my job is to help figure out what are the ones that are the biggest piece that are affecting you that we need to clear first. Because otherwise you’ll go insane if you’re like trying to figure out all these things on your own. Which is why it’s so important to work with a doctor to help guide you.

[00:31:43] Dr. Z: So much food for thought here, folks. First I wanna encourage y’all to go to DrStills.com. Check out Dr. Sharon’s work. Check out the things and the education that she offers. Consider working with her.

[00:31:54] And Doc, I just really appreciate it. I know you gotta go in just a minute here. So any last minute words of advice or encouragement that you wanna leave people with?

[00:32:03] Dr. Sharon Stills: Yeah, I. One thing is, if you notice, I never say cancer patient. And so if you are dealing with cancer, that doesn’t have to be your entire identity. That’s something you’re dealing with but doesn’t have to overtake your whole life. And you can use it for growth to eat healthier, be healthier, move healthier, think healthier. 

[00:32:26] There is always hope. So don’t let a doctor tell you, “you have three months”, “you have six months”. Like they don’t know and they have no right saying that to you.

[00:32:36] We didn’t talk about hormones, which is a big piece of my work and what a lot of people know me for, and I would just say, don’t let anyone tell you that hormones are not okay. I see a lot of women who suffer because they have family history or personal history of say, breast cancer or uterine cancer, and they’re told hormones are never for you. And we could do a whole nother hour on that.

[00:33:01] But basically that’s a very blanket statement without any real medical backing behind it. And if you actually dig in to, estrogen, we’ll say, ’cause estrogen has been very vilified. There are different types of estrogen. And there are estrogens that I actually compound and use to treat active cancer such as 2-methoxyestradiol and estriol, and testosterone and DHEA and progesterone. And so…

[00:33:29] You, your quality of life, can really suffer if you are deprived of hormones and if someone’s depriving you of hormones, they’re not really up on the latest and the greatest science. And so probably good to look for someone else.

[00:33:43] The other thing I would say, if you are choosing to do chemo, if that’s the path for you, don’t listen to an oncologist who says you can’t take any supplements. Because there are plenty of supplements out there, depending upon what chemo you’re taking, that can actually help the chemo work better. Can help protect your healthy cells. Using ozone can be a very powerful thing, vitamin C, melatonin, there’s lots of them, so. That’s also like very lazy old school medicine.

[00:34:14] So find someone who understands and can support you properly. ’cause yes, there are certain supplements or things that can interfere. And if you’re choosing to do chemo, then you wanna make it work as good as you can and you wanna protect your healthy cells. So there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

[00:34:31] There’s a lot of good information out there and you just have to do your research. And that’s part of why we’re opening our new clinic: The Lasting Wellness Center in Arizona because I wanted to have a place in the states that patients could come and heal and not have to go to Europe.

[00:34:50] So. That’s why I’m on the ground and helping, because people do need a place to heal. And there are things, especially when you’re dealing with a diagnosis like cancer, you do need to be sitting in oxygen baths. You do need to be getting IVs. You do need mistletoe, you do need ozone. You do need red light and, all the things. Hydrogen.

[00:35:13] And so we have a whole, I call it my playground ’cause we have just a whole 7,000 square feet of all the tools you need. So that’s exciting and that’s coming very soon. 

[00:35:25] Dr. Z: That’s awesome. Congratulations. By the way, when where? It’s, it’s in Arizona Scottsdale area, correct? Or I’m sorry.

[00:35:31] Dr. Sharon Stills: Yep. Right.
