Discover Hope and Healing: Healing Beyond Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Cancer Recovery by Via Thomas
When Via Thomas’s grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 83, the family was stunned to learn that she had lived for nearly a decade with an undiagnosed tumor the size of a grapefruit. Remarkably, her grandmother had managed to control her symptoms using natural remedies and dietary changes, showcasing an incredible resilience that inspired Via to explore holistic approaches to healing. This deeply personal journey became the foundation of her transformative book, Healing Beyond Medicine.

Her book offers hope and actionable strategies for those seeking alternatives or complements to conventional medicine, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Healing Beyond Medicine introduces readers to strategies that nurture the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With an emphasis on natural and non-invasive methods, Via highlights the following practices:
- Nutritional Power: Using wholesome foods like raw almonds, pecans, and fresh juices to nourish the body and fight disease.
- Natural Remedies: Exploring the potential benefits of turmeric, Essiac tea, apricot seeds, and other supplements to support overall health.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Prioritizing stress management, regular exercise, and mindfulness as critical tools for building resilience.
- Mind-Body Connection: Cultivating a positive mental state through mindful meditation, which reduces stress and fosters inner calm, essential for overall healing.
The book also underscores the importance of detoxifying the body and environment—highlighting steps like removing heavy metal fillings, ensuring access to clean water, and adopting a largely plant-based diet to enhance cellular health.
The Power of Connection and Support
Beyond physical healing, Via emphasizes the role of a strong support system. She highlights the benefits of connecting with loved ones, joining support groups, or seeking professional counseling. These networks provide emotional stability, encouragement, and a sense of community, which are invaluable for navigating the ups and downs of a cancer journey.
