Dr. Dana Show & Tell Interrupts this Gloom To Offer Hope with Kit Livingston

Welcome to Dr. Dana's Show and Tell. I'm Dr. Dana Churchill, I'll be your host today. And I have a guest today that you don't normally get to see this part of their life. This amazing warrior, very powerful woman, and I'd like to bring her on, Kit Livingston. Please come and sit down. Thank you. Kit has a story that everybody needs to hear. So I'm just gonna let you start, wherever you want. Okay. All right. So in 2015, I was diagnosed with aggressive stage two hormone positive breast cancer. And it was recommended that I start chemotherapy right away because of the aggressiveness of it. And immediately I knew that that wouldn't work for me. I wasn't even able to take anything stronger than an Advil. I used to get really, really sick from any kind of medication. So I went home and started researching and found hope in alternative treatment. So I started juicing immediately, and I applied, did two coffee intermittents every day, in the morning and at night. Every day? Yes, and drank a gallon of water. And also ate, in hindsight, this probably wasn't the best approach, but a lot of raw food, right? The digestive system takes, it's a lot of work to digest raw food. But anyway, based on what I was reading, that's what I felt like I needed. Powerful enzymes, though, vitamins, minerals. Nutrients, straight shot to the system. So immediately experienced results from that. When I was first diagnosed, my cancer marker was 15.6, and within a month it dropped to 11.4. Just one month? Just one month. That's huge encouragement. 11.4, yeah. Really? And then exercising was really important, obviously, which I was already an avid exerciser. But yeah, just some very strict, very quick dietary changes had immediate results. And did you go to any specialist or anybody, I mean, did you do any IV therapy, like vitamin C or ozone, or things kind of we know about now? Yes, I had to go to Mexico for that, so I couldn't find a doctor here. I mean, there are doctors here that do ozone and vitamin C therapy, but as you know, it's very, very expensive. So there was a microbiologist in Mexico that I worked with. I literally moved to Ensenada for six weeks. He was doing some kind of labs, looking carefully at some, was it markers other than just like CEA and things like for cancer or breast cancer? No, he was just looking at that. Okay, awesome. Or that's all he shared with me. How did you go, okay, so this is really hard to do, and I know my patients come to me, and they say, I tell them to do an alternative treatment, and I'll go back to their doctor, and I'll say, well, it's expensive urine. Not, okay, not all doctors. Some will say it's expensive urine, some will say don't do that, and so they really don't know what to do, because they're caught in between two styles of medicine. How did you completely say no to the medical orthodoxy, and just, it's not easy. Well, I just kind of listened to what my body needed, and through all the research, there was a lot of things that I read about, and what felt right, I applied it. I know that sounds crazy. No, and if you have incredible intuition, like laser-like intuition, you listen to it, and you've done the work, like you said, Louise Hay, you know, that kind of soul work, which I started so many years ago, 20, 30 years ago, you know, so. Yeah, so just really in tune with my body, and listened to what it needed, and I applied it, and ended up getting really great results. Surprising to even myself, because I really, in the mix of it, right, you're nervous, you're scared, it's cancer, so I wasn't sure, absolutely sure, but I applied it because it felt right. Well, you have a trial and error. If it's not gonna work within a few weeks, then maybe do something else, of course. Yeah, pivot, right, yeah. Sounds like you had a lot of faith. I did. Good, yeah. The book I brought in today, I wanted to mention that I've taken on some cancer patients, and this is just one of the modalities I use, but it's written by A.U. Ramakrishnan, who broke away from the regular homeopathic orthodoxy of usually just one remedy for a person, the constitutional remedy. He's using two remedies, a very high dose. One of them is organ-specific remedy for the cancer, and the other is a no-so. It's an organ-specific remedy, and also there's a cancer remedy, so using two remedies in a high dose, and it's a very interesting book, and I had great results with this, but I also use a lot of other modalities as well, and if we need, we work with oncologists as well. Well, thank you for coming today. Is there anything you wanna share with the public to let them know? Because what you've been through, there's not many patients I can find like this, so tell us how many people are suffering from breast cancer out there, probably, and are terrified. What's your message to them? It's gut health, and we can't. You mean the gut, like the gut here? The microbiome. It's the Western food diet. My breasts are here, my gut's here. Right, so there's a lot of bacteria that literally, I think they're gonna discover at some point in the near future that this literally is our first brain. This communicates everything. First, not second. Yeah, communicates everything to the brain, right? But there's specific microflora that do specific things, like acromansia that we discussed regulates insulin and obesity. So if you have gut dysbiosis, if you have leaky gut, which I think probably 90% of the population in the United States does because of the diet, it's processed food, sugar, it's held trauma. The SAD diet, Standard American Diet. Exactly, it's causing a lot of inflammation. It starts with inflammation, and then the gut then becomes inflamed. You then start suffering from malabsorption, which was my problem. And you don't have to have these big, glaring symptoms. Leaky gut could be happening underneath the surface without even your awareness. So it's really important to just eat really organic, whole food ingredients and stay away from the processed food. Before we leave, I just want to mention one thing. Get your iodine levels checked because a lot of breast cancer has either partially resolved or fully resolved with using high-dose iodine. And you need to talk to a doctor about that. But Bronstein has done a lot of work, Dr. Bronstein on this. So definitely check that out. All right, pleasure having you, Kit. Thank you for coming on.
