Tekquiree Spencer, an actress, filmmaker, and now health and wellness advocate, was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 36 weeks pregnant. After her diagnosis, Tekquiree decided to pursue a primarily natural treatment approach, in addition to some chemotherapy. She received treatment from a holistic doctor, used targeted therapies, and leveraged what she learned as a child from her father, who was a juicing and wheatgrass enthusiast. Her journey led to her understanding that true healing occurs not just from what we eat, but from our mental and spiritual states as well – most notably in what we think, how we feel, and our ability to stand in truth.

Carol Robles, an attorney from NYC, was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer that resulted from her exposure to dangerous toxins at Ground Zero following 9/11. Cecilia Defoe, a former educator, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of esophageal cancer at age 51. Carol and Cecilia met at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in July 2017 during their hospital stay in which they shared a same room and surgeon. Their encounter was not coincidental, but rather predestined by God. After sharing a near death experience together on the third night, they have been sisters in Christ ever since. Carol and Cecilia credit the Holy Spirit’s intervention that night for Carol’s subsequent recovery, as well as the miraculous healing that Cecelia experienced. Their powerful story is a testimony of God’s supernatural intervention, healing grace, and mercy.

Rev. Dr. Jason Garwood and his wife Mary discuss a natural approach to healing, inspired by Mary’s battle with Lyme disease. After learning of her diagnosis in her early twenties, Mary followed a protocol advocated by cancer thriver Chris Wark, which included juicing and coffee enemas to help her body heal. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Garwood authored the book, “Health For Life,” in which he emphasizes the importance of applying biblical principles to the stewardship of our bodies. Dr. Garwood and Mary continue to encourage others that a natural treatment approach, combined with the healing power of the gospel is what ultimately leads to complete healing.
