I recently had the privilege of interviewing my client, Dina Cataldo, about her extraordinary journey of healing breast cancer holistically.

Dina's story is particularly fascinating because this was her third experience with breast cancer.

The Wake-Up Call

Dina's journey began with her third breast cancer diagnosis. Unlike her previous experiences, this time she felt a strong urge to try a different approach. This decision led her to explore holistic healing methods, including working with me as her integrative oncologist.

Our work together focused on several key areas:

1. Physical Detoxification
2. Emotional Healing
3. Mental Reprogramming
4. Spiritual Alignment

We addressed each of these aspects through various methods, including dietary changes, supplement protocols, emotional release techniques, and mindset work.

The Power of Nutrition

"I thought I was eating so healthy. And I was compared to maybe how I was even a year ago prior to that. But I didn't have my awareness on so many different aspects of nutrition." - Dina Cataldo

One of the most significant changes for Dina was her diet. Even though she considered herself a healthy eater before, she discovered there was much more to learn about nutrition. We focused on eliminating sugar, reducing carbohydrates, and increasing the quality of proteins and fats in her diet.

The Water Fast Experience

A key component of Dina's healing journey was a 14-day water fast. This process, while challenging, proved to be a powerful tool for healing.

"I didn't have cravings. I didn't desire food as if, my gosh, you’ve got to keep me away from the kitchen. It just wasn't anything I wanted. And that was kind of surprising to me." - Dina Cataldo

The fast wasn't just about not eating. It was a time of deep rest and healing, allowing her body to focus its energy on repair and regeneration.

Reconnecting with Nature and Self

"Something that kept coming up for me here is the lack of connection that we have to not only ourselves but to the foods we eat, to the water that we drink." - Dina Cataldo

Perhaps one of the most profound aspects of Dina's journey was her reconnection with nature and herself. It played a crucial role in her healing process, which reminds us all of the importance of our relationship with the natural world.

The Results

"I went there the day of (my mammogram), and I was called in. They called me in a second time because they needed to get a close-up image. And then the doctor... just says, well, you don't have any calcifications. They're gone." - Dina Cataldo

The outcome of Dina's holistic approach was nothing short of remarkable. Her follow-up mammogram showed no signs of the cancer that had been there just months before.

Final Thoughts

Dina's story is a powerful reminder that healing can come in many forms. While conventional treatments have their place, her experience shows us that a holistic approach, addressing body, mind, and spirit, can lead to profound healing.

As an integrative oncologist, I'm continually amazed by the body's ability to heal when given the right support. Dina's journey is inspiring, a powerful example of holistic healing and the importance of listening to our inner wisdom when it comes to our health.

If you're facing health challenges, I encourage you to explore all your options and find the path that resonates most with you. After all, as Dina's story shows us, sometimes the most unexpected paths can lead to the most extraordinary healing.
