Today, I'm looking forward to having a chat with Kathy mill. Kathy was feeling well until one day at the local swimming pool with her daughter. She had a terrible headache and nearly collapsed. Soon after she was diagnosed with stage four metastatic brain cancer, which started as a melanoma. And she had blades behind her eye and at the back of her head and was told that it was inoperable. The

Hello, Daniel. It's such a pleasure to be here with you today. Okay, Kathy, you seem to be a healthy person, and you look after yourself. So it must have been quite a shock. What was your initial reaction, complete and utter disbelief Absolutely. Sitting in that little bay emergency by ward that that day cancer was the absolute last thing on my mind, you know, I was thinking maybe a maintain that belief? I guess for me, it was always knowing that just because this is the way it is now, that doesn't determine the final outcome. So reaching in again to that kind of inner knowing that, okay, so I'm going through this right now. But this is not the outcome. This is not necessarily how it's all going to end. I guess it's just always been a natural thing for me. So it wasn't a I can control my environment, I can control my food, I can control my mindset, I can control my support network around me. So I decided to focus on those things. Because obviously, what you focus on is what you see is what you attract. And then obviously, you know, amplifies the energy around that. So I tried to take away from what I couldn't control and focus on what I could. And that's how that diagnosis was interpreted, not only to yourself, but as you just said to the people around you. So that's quite a process. And that takes a bit of guts. How did you do that? Well, I guess for most of us, we're on autopilot. When we speak, we're not actually really listening to the words that come out of our mouth or other people's mouth. Again, when I'm in the gym, you know, hear a lot of

Daniel Baden: 8:21

One of the interesting things that you accomplished is that you're able to visualize the tumors as being something else. And in your particular case, you visualize them as being snowflakes. So can you talk to me about that?

Kathy Mills: 8:36

Snowflakes was the only thing I could come up with at the time, Daniel, even though I live in Queensland, and we don't see snow, because we'll let's see it. And the thing is, with most cancers, they are usually represented as tumors as mass as like a mass or a growth in the body. Whereas these were cells that formed clusters. And so, you know, I automatically just thought of little And I wrote out affirmations and affirmation as you would have read on the back of the MRI report the first one, and instead of reading the first report, I read my report, and I kept it somewhere that I could just read continuously and visualize and see every single day. So did you have a process like, you know, when you go to bed at night and you close your eyes and your heads on the pillow, did as I said, you know, we'll do 10 or 15 minutes every two to three weeks, or four weeks or whatever, but, but to even get to that stage, those mechta V and BRAF to V, meds had to reduce the size of those clusters, enough to even do the radiation. So that was the first process. You know, I had to come off all of my usual supplements and antioxidants, and greens, powders and everything that people

Daniel Baden: 12:54

It's interesting you say that, because I know that in standard oncology, that they asked people to go off their supplements. But in fact, a lot of the research supports the notion that you should stay on it because it helps often with the drugs and the radiation and the side effects. So it's a conflicted area.

Kathy Mills: 13:11

And the thing is Daniel, I listened to them for the first few months after the radiation, I kind of sort of didn't, and I've never told them since but oh, no, Lucky. No, we it's not really I guess it's not really an awesome them. It's really about just finding what's what's best for the patient. And in my case, as I said at the start, I guess, because that medication had to go

Daniel Baden: 13:58

An area I know that you're interested in and I'm interested in as well. And that's a discussion around personal responsibility. And it's very common and understandable in the modern world and modern medicine for us to hand over our own health responsibility to somebody else. We see it with vaccines, we see it with medicines, we see it with cancer therapies, you know, you are able

Kathy Mills: 14:34

I will so you're exactly right Daniel. So when most people are diagnosed or they go to the doctor obviously we put full faith in these people in white coats that you know they're going to explain you know what the next steps are, are the best therapies or the best you know, medications or whatever it is but But what works for one does not necessarily work for all and I strongly believe

Daniel Baden: 15:56

Basically that comes from a place of fear and not trusting their own belief. We need to encourage people to do a bit of their own research and ask questions, ask a lot of questions.

Kathy Mills: 16:07

Correct, do your own research, and get second and third and fourth opinions, if just don't settle for the first thing that comes out of their mouth or the first treatment therapy or whatever it is, go and research it. I also noticed that you are quite interested in energy medicine. And energy medicine is a very broad topic. There are many aspects to it. Many cultures, and many different philosophies all have their own version of what energy medicine is. It's all good. Some techniques that work particularly for you like Reiki, for example. And you also got into things like personalized frequency sets and body Well, I guess the starting point is Nikola Tesla said right at the start, energy is everything. Like everything is energy, when we break our bodies down under a microscope of what a million times over we are nothing but energy vibrating. And so again, coming back to well, if the body created it, the body can heal it. Every sickness and disease and things like that in our bodies, viruses, parrot etc. In the body. Every single cell is like a little memory bank, little battery in the body. And so we all know that trauma stores itself and in the body in different places, stress, etc, whatever you want to call it. And so it's about releasing that as well. But yes, so Raymond rife basically went through all of that. And these devices that we see now either Heelys and the EO scanners, etc, And then what is that doing the same sort of thing, or what does that do? The V light therapy works basically like a red light therapy. And so the little contraption that sits around your head, as I explained, looking like Back to the Future, it works on the different parts of the brain, that have the most activity that we use, obviously, we only use a certain amount of our brain every day. And

Daniel Baden: 22:24

You combined many different therapies and many different approaches. And one of the things you obviously did was look at also supplements took a whole lot of supplements, but the ones I find quite interesting,the inositol, hexa, phosphate, or IP six, and CBD and the herbs, Berberine, and dandelion. So with the inositol hexa phosphate, there's actually some interesting research to

Kathy Mills: 22:53

I've had absolutely no side effects or anything that I could, I could really pinpoint to say, I can feel that I'm taking that. That's pretty much what all these scientific papers and research all the research done around it has basically said as well, like to their knowledge, there is no real side effects to either of these supplements. So some of them were well documented, like

Daniel Baden: 24:13

You drinking a fair bit of dandelion tea,

Kathy Mills: 24:15

I take it dandelion tea all day long, Daniel. Again, that's why I encourage people to go and do their own research, if it's something that lands with them or they're quite intrigued by it. Yeah, take yourself off and go and ask questions and do some research. If you could nail the key aspects of your diet and your exercise program. What would they have been? Could you just give us you know, and to the listeners a little few

Daniel Baden: 24:34

Did you exercise throughout the radiation and chemotherapy? Yes, I did. What sort of things would you do on a daily or weekly basis?

Kathy Mills: 25:47

Predominantly was walking, walking is one of the most general all round best exercises that anyone can how much would you walk every day, usually an hour, maybe two? Yeah, in the morning, and then again in the evening. So if I could, and I never had pain, Daniel. So again, I cannot comprehend other people's diagnosis. And I cannot comprehend you know how their lifestyle is. But I never

Daniel Baden: 26:29

Wow, that's, that's so amazing. I know that you mentioned also mindful eating. And there's a whole belief behind mindful eating, what does mindful eating mean to you .

Kathy Mills: 26:37

Without, obviously, first and foremost, the gut brain connection, most of us will eat, like we talk on autopilot, or were distracted doing 13 Other things whilst we're eating. So the body is disconnected, you might be feeding it, but it's not registering, that you've actually that you actually are consuming that meal, and also what you're eating, so the environment that you're eating

Daniel Baden: 27:30

Last year I was in Japan and in Japan, the culture is that it's really rude to eat while you're walking down the street. And you stop somewhere and eat. I thought that was such a wonderful reminder, because I'm always seeing people, you know, shoving something in their mouth as they're walking along between appointments or trying to catch a bus or whatever. And it's a cultural

Kathy Mills: 27:52

They're totally you know, we all grew up eating around a dinner table, we sat down and ate, there was no TV, we talked, you know, we enjoyed the meals, even the cooking process, the preparation of the food, big thing going on that now is just virtually lost your time and coffee, you've been through an amazing journey.

Daniel Baden: 28:13

Congratulations to you, you've really done a wonderful job on yourself. We all want to learn from your experience. What are the key takeaway points that you could help somebody with who had a similar or other diagnosis?

Kathy Mills: 28:29

I guess the most important thing is that start is just because they're giving you a diagnosis doesn't mean that it's a death sentence. There's 1000s of people every day that heal themselves, not just from cancer, but from autoimmune diseases and all types of things. I believe mindset is probably the biggest thing that you you either accept the diagnosis, and then your body

Daniel Baden: 29:57

thank you Kathy. Kathy has printed story In a book called Be your own miracle, and I'm not sure where it's available, Kathy, where is it available?

Kathy Mills: 30:05

Pretty much everywhere now online through Amazon. Obviously, they'll go press as the company was published through Barnes and Noble booktopia some of the big ones that most people would recognize here. So you can either buy it as a downloadable and order it as a paperback in either bookstores.

Daniel Baden: 30:25

Okay, thank you, Kathy. Once again, thank you for your time. I sincerely hope that your story encourages others to consider natural and holistic medicine as a real option. And until next time, thank you.

Kathy Mills: 30:37

Thank you, Daniel. It was a pleasure.

Daniel Baden: 31:24

not make any changes to your treatment without consulting your health professional. Thank you
