“Maria helped me first to understand this disease, to love my tumor, to talk to it, as well as to starve all the cancer cells with a ketogenic protocol and fasting before and during my chemotherapy sessions. She helped make the chemo bearable and reduced the severity of my side effects afterward. Thanks to my treatments, a good diet, exercise, and meditation, today I can say that I feel healthy.”

“Through a thorough review of my annual blood work and a carefully designed questionnaire, Maria helped me uncover that I am both sensitive to gluten and had environmental toxins, mold, in my home. I didn’t suspect either, and addressing both has drastically improved my health and quality of life.”
