Beautiful Mind Challenge 2/30

The day is made for me. I am thankful, thoughtful and grateful.
— Ho'o & Dad (Kalani Tandal)

The final line, “ I am thankful, thoughtful and grateful” is an affirmation that my Dad taught to all of his grandchildren. He would always end his prayers with it and have them repeat the sentence. To me that is more valuable than gold. And today I’m sharing it with you.

Beautiful Mind Challenge

Around 2011 both my sister and I became Zumba fitness instructors and we had big plans to help a lot of ladies get fit. I would bring in my nutritional background and she would blend in her knowledge of the fitness industry.

The unthinkable happened.

Then in 2015 she was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer as a result of a molar pregnancy.

It was horrible.

My instincts took me deep into prayer and back to the lessons of prayer & MANA.

We prayed for guidance.

The thought of chemotherapy freaked us out but the tumor markers were growing so quickly.

Collectively we knew that the healing needed to involve all areas of her being.  Because diseases like these attack the body, plays tricks on the mind and can damage the soul.
— Ho'omalamalama

I wanted to find a way to keep her MIND, BODY & SOUL strong during her treatment. The cancer was in her uterus, bladder & lungs. Her physician took a chance and put her on a rigorous program including 7 TYPES OF CHEMO, one drip was about 12 hours long. I wanted to propose something to my Ohana (family) with a product line that I enjoy. So my Ohana got together and I said, “What do we have to loose, why not take a chance and put these products to the test. The other side is death.

The cancer was in three major areas.

We’ve only heard stories about people trying this but we’ve never seen it in action. So she started with a bottle of Genesis™ per day and two packets of Ultra Vitality. That gave her white blood cells the ability to sustain itself during the intense chemo cycle. She had an appetite during her entire treatment and eventually added smoothies with beets, cucumber, cilantro, apple, banana, chia seeds, hemp hearts & more Ultra Vitality.

We were scared but stuck to the plan.

The dangerous part was if her white blood cells dropped too low they would have to pull back on the chemo. Now when I say advanced I mean this cancer was spreading quickly and she couldn’t stop using her Genesis™ or risk taking a break from the treatments. Somehow the two were working in favor of her body and the tumor markers began to decrease from over 200,000 to 170,000 to 140,000…


BEFORE

I wanted to connect daily.

All the while I kept writing hoping that she was reading my blog and trying some of the challenges. It clawed at my faith and bruised my hope to see her going through this but I never showed it during my visits or daily chats. While she was in treatment my husband and I moved her Ohana into our home due to her husband’s work schedule and the chemo sessions. It was school, work, martial arts, dance classes as usual… almost.

I wanted to encourage her beautiful mind.

Everyone contributed from our brother buying nutrients, parents becoming caregivers, my household welcoming hers, her midwife Nancy, our 1st cousin’s the Kaikala’s, Aunty Josie & family, Aunty Nani & Aunty Aunty Denise mailing poi and many more.


During

Blessings upon blessings.

Then it happened her body responded well to the to kill the orcs (cancer cells) treatment which included her supplements at home, whole foods and walks. In fact her doctor told her, “What ever you’re doing, don’t stop.” I pray for more doctors like him who listen to their patients and after four (4) months the cancer is in remission!
