A mother-of-three who was given months to live after being diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer claims she used organic juices to shrink her tumours, so she could survive to watch her daughter walk down the aisle.
Julie Shaw, 54, discovered the disease had spread to her lungs and liver and was warned there was just a five to 10 per cent chance of chemotherapy working, after her diagnosis on July 29 this year.
After watching her friend experience gruelling side effects from conventional chemo, Julie decided she didn’t want to spend her final months bedridden.
She began researching alternative treatments and discovered the Berkson Protocol, an immunity-boosting regime, aimed at slowing the growth of pancreatic tumours.
Julie switched to a mainly vegetarian and organic nutrient-rich diet and spent two hours a day juicing which she claims has helped stopped the spread of her cancer – and allowed her to share her daughter Katie’s special day.
Julie has also started special low-dose chemotherapy treatment which is available privately in Germany at a cost of £15,000 for four weeks.
