Would you know where to look if someone you knew experienced an unexpected pregnancy? What resources are even available to both those having an unintended pregnancy and the parents of those teens?

Have you had cancer or does anyone you love suffer from cancer? Today, Ginny Brant shares her powerful healing story and ways that we can prevent and survive cancer starting today!
Ginny shares, "I was on a mission to not get cancer because there was so much of it in my family. And it was four months after my mother died of breast cancer that providentially, as my sister would say, I found a lump in my breast. I had just done the Cooper River Bridge run with my husband. I walked briskly, but the point is, at the end of it that night, my ring got caught in my nighty in the middle of the night, and that's when I found the lump. So I immediately looked into it, but I wasn't too concerned about it. I had been here once before, and they weren't anything to worry about. But I went to the doctor, and the first bad news was, yeah, this is cancer. And then the next week, more test results came back. They told me it's not just cancer. It's aggressive. And then, the third week after the results of the MRI came back; they gave me the news that brought me to my knees. They said it's not only aggressive; it appears to be in your lymph nodes and different places in your body. Wow. I don't understand. Because I went for a second opinion in Chicago by Cancer Treatment Centers of America. And the first thing that doctors went through with me was the risk factors for this aggressive breast cancer. There were eight of them. I didn't have one of them. So since my mother had died from breast cancer, they did extensive genetic testing that showed nothing."
This started Ginny's search for how she could've prevented cancer and how she would beat cancer!
Here are her top three revelations that she shares will help prevent and increase your successful survival of cancer:
Emotions: Your emotions can draw illness. These unresolved emotions, things like in my case for 15 years, I took care of ailing parents, a father with dementia, and a mother with breast cancer. The point is, we were in a grief cycle we couldn't get out of. I've discovered that long-term grief, long-term anger, or any long-term negative emotion can suppress your immune system. So 15 years of not being able to stop grief put my body in a position where it couldn't heal normally and regenerate. It suppressed the immune system that God had given me.
Toxins and heavy metals: My doctor tested me, and I had heavy metals because of the chemo. I was introduced to the infrared sauna company. I thought they would test heavy metals, which I already knew, and how we keep track of my progress. They pointed me to 15 out of 20 chemicals in that chemical profile, that red high zone in my body and many of them work endocrine-disrupting hormones, or what we call Xenoestrogens that mimic estrogen in the body. I had an estrogen-based and aggressive cancer. So when I showed the results to my doctors at the cancer center, they said, " Oh, this is definitely one of the causes of your cancer.
Healthy Gut- Having a healthy gut lining protects you from cancer. It protects you from brain disease, heart disease, and even severe symptoms of COVID 19. The research is clear that 70 to 80% of your immune cells are in that gut lining. And so we must keep it nourished adequately with fruits and vegetables and plants and fermented foods.
Ginny shared that she was very intentional. She was very different. She said, "You know, I just asked God to guide me as I was doing my research, and you know, like He clearly pulled back the curtain on cancer for me, and I never would know everything that was going on in my body, but I saw the main things that would give me something to work with so that I could respond well after receiving the worst chemo known to mankind. I could restore my body back to full health. And why is that? Because God created our bodies to heal on an everyday basis. It is a miracle, and when we start to remove all the things that are suppressing that, then our body can get back to healing and regenerating as God created it to do."

Our world is so busy!
We can't have the peace of God in the craziness.
Can we have victory over anxiety? Can you overcome panic attacks?
Christy Boulware was so successful at 25 years old, but in 2011 she had her first panic attack. Her life snowballed from there- paralysis, vision issues, and she had to rush to the emergency room in the middle of the night. ALL is fine- NOTHING was wrong with me. I felt like I was dying.
The doctor said, "You have anxiety."
Christy was shocked! Christy had everything: money, success, children, and happy marriage.
But her anxiety got worst, and she had back-to-back panic attacks. She had to have her mom help take care of her children because she couldn't get out of the bedroom. She then had suicidal thoughts. Anxiety will manifest. Stress and anxiety can physically show up: shortness of breath, your GI tract can be impacted, the tension in your body, and maybe your chest tightens. There will be constant obsessive thoughts. Then, spiritually we are attacked through fear.
Christy tells us that you can turn a nervous breakdown into a nervous breakthrough. Christy shares how you, too, can find victory over panic attacks and anxiety. Join in on the conversation now.
