  • The spirit inside this woman is stronger than any sickness and has kept her alive more than her physical body or any doctors or treatments. Many blessings to Dr. Dawn and her family. Thank you so much for this interview. ❤🙏

    Keto vrs plant based vrs etc etc. I think every person is different and attitude and inner harmony, letting go of emotional blocks--can cure you. I've survived cancer so know it works. But I did raw foods; others use keto...so the inner work (the LET GO) was what made the difference for me.
  • This woman is superhuman and a spiritual antenna. I am moved by her obvious vital energy. Just wow 💚💜💯👍🙏🏻☮️
  • Dawn's story should be mandatory listening for all aspects of society...you should interview her today and listen to where she is now!!!

  • "A warrior I am, against this foe, This battle I'll win, and make it show. The chemo's tough, but I'm tougher still, My strength and spirit, I won't let it kill. Though the cancer tries to take its toll, I'll fight with all my heart and soul. I'll stand up strong, with courage and grace, And show the world, I'll win this race."
