In October 2007 Mel became very ill with food poisoning. A few months later he underwent gall bladder surgery and ended up with an infection from the surgery. It was at this point that he was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer and cancerous spots on his lungs.
He purchased a copy of Practical Solution to the Cancer Injury Manual by Donna Roth and started on the cancer program in June 2008. His program included:
- Paw Paw, 9 per day
- Protease Plus, 3 three times a day
- Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic, 1 ounce 3 times a day
- Zambroza, 1 ounce a day
- TNT and SynerProtein shakes
- Flax Hull Lignans, 1 scoop a day
- Nature's Gold Barley, 1 tablespoon per day
- Super Oil, 3 two times a day
He ate hormone-free meat, free-range farm eggs and locally grown vegetables.
In the fall of 2008 he returned to the oncologist, and the x-ray reports showed that the spots in the lungs were almost gone. The doctor was amazed at Mel's health, especially since Mel refused chemotherapy. Mel also lost 8 pounds, and his wife lost 8 pounds because she followed the same diet with him.
Here is her recipe for Coconut Crepes: 2 tbsp coconut flour, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil, Celtic salt and stevia.
