They saw, usually first-hand, that conventional therapies often left the cancer patient weak and sick with a seriously compromised immune system—later face a recurrence of cancer and then die. I met Kevin at lunch. We were both seeking the organic vegan lunch choice offered to conference attendees. Vegan tomato soup. Delicious! Kevin came to the conference to learn what more he could do to continue enjoying his cancer-free life. Here is Kevin's story. How did you learn you had cancer?
