Hello and Welcome! I’m Jeanette Marshall,
President of the National Association of Professional
Cancer Coaches.
You may be here for yourself, or to find support in the
form of coaching for a loved one. I wish you didn’t have
to be here, but if you are, you couldn’t have come to a
better, or more safe, place. When my husband suffered…
NAPCC Copyright 2012
a massive stroke at age 43..., our respective lives, as we knew them, were over.
Or so I thought. Rather, it became a truly extraordinary beginning. Let me tell
you why.
“I’m sorry Mrs. Marshall”, said the attending physician in the emergency
department “but your husband has had a massive stroke. We don’t think he is
going to make it”. Boy, did those words sting! I heard them talking about a new
drug called TPA. It is considered a potent blood-clot busting drug that can help
many people recover more fully. At his young age, he was a prime candidate for
this drug. “We’re too busy here in emerg tonight to be able to give this to
him…he’s likely not going to make it anyway”, the lady doc said to the nurse at
his bedside.
I have a degree in Human Nutrition and am very loyal to nutritional and
integrative healing methods for improving conditions in the body. Four days
later, my husband was still alive and still in the Emergency department on a
stretcher. He couldn’t talk, he couldn’t move, and he hadn’t eaten or drank a
thing in all that time. He was communicating with me through eye contact when
I asked him if he was hungry. His eyes instantly shot open. I went home and
made him a vegetable broth and returned to feed him. “He could have choked to
death” his nurse angrily yelled at me...warning me not to do that again. Had they
been giving him the appropriate attention, they would have known he could
swallow. From that moment forward, I took charge of his care and his recovery.
Each day I fed him homemade juices until he could eat solid food. This was
when I introduced him to a plant based diet and a select few supplements. Every
animal-plagued hospital meal was returned to the kitchen. When they saw how
my husband was responding to this care, they all admitted that he might make it
after all.

The doc did say, however, that my husband would not be fit for physiotherapy for
at least 6 months and that – in all likeliness, would be paralyzed for life.
I had read that the brain has an amazing ability to regenerate following stroke if
the patient receives the right care and empowerment to do so. I knew that
nutrition was a huge equation in this and I was determined to do what had to be
done. I quit my job at the hospital and took full responsibility for his recovery.
Three months of my life was all it took!!! He was back*!
Getting him well again was all about being empowered. I was just the one to take
on this role. Between nutritional, lifestyle, environmental and emotional support
and energy work, my husband recovered. He was discharged from the hospital
not six months later, but 4 weeks after his stroke. Today his IQ is higher than my
own. I new that if I could help a neurology patient who was terminal, I could find
a way to get over my fear of cancer, too.
It was March 24th of 2003. I was putting a nutritional course together for
McMaster University’s Health Sciences department and I had just booked an
appointment to see my 6th client with stage 4 cancer. This was becoming too
overwhelming for me as I began to realize that these patients needed something
they were not receiving from their doctors. This is when I made the decision to
sink my head into some serious research to see what I could find. ...continued p.5
*My husband Glen is still alive and healthy today, 16 years later. A retired police officer, he is fully
functional, productive and involved in the lives of our 5 grandchildren. Together, we continue to bring
awareness to others on the power of nutrition and integrative care for successful , long-term recovery.

It wasn’t until the spring of 2004 that I had done enough
research to feel comfortable changing my ‘specialty’ from
Integrative CAD (heart and stroke) to Nutritional and
Integrative Oncology. I was now seeing cancer patients on a
regular basis, utilizing the most powerful tools to make a
difference between life and death! With my vast knowledge
and experience of live conditions in the blood (as a Live Cell
Microscopist) and my degree in Nutritional Sciences, I had
nurtured professional relationships with cancer researchers and
scientists from the most prestigious organizations around the
world. This helped me to develop a teaching program for my
peers and fellow associates that is now called the Certified
Professional Cancer Coach Program (CPCC). This program
gives health care professionals an ability to make a difference
in the cancer patient’s journey and recovery.

Jumping ahead to 2012, the CPCC program is now in full swing with
over 500 certified professional cancer coaches in Canada and the USA.
We are also in Australia and Europe. As founder of the (NAPCC) in
2008, regulated guidelines have been established to enforce a
standardized coaching format to be delivered in all community
programs. In addition, all NAPCC coaches must have a mandatory
health care background and professional health designation. Therefore
you will only find registered nurses, nutritionists, psychologists,
naturopaths and medical doctors in this organization. In addition we
have radiation and psycho-oncologists that have become certified,
referring patients to the NAPCC. In the Spring of 2012, The Ottawa
Regional Cancer Foundation called on us to train and certify their entire
staff of counsellors and doctors as professional cancer coaches. Please
believe me when I tell you how much you will gain by having a cancer
coach. Ensure that your coach carries the CPCC designation to identify
his/her membership as an NAPCC Cancer Patient Educator. This
program will empower you and improve your odds.
Following this page is an outline of our coaching program. We hope
that you will trust in us enough to let it work for you. Please ask for our
help if you need it. All the best to you in your recovery.

The Six-Step Cancer Wipeout Blueprint
While these six steps are evidence based factors on the development,
progression and reversal of cancers, other factors such as genetics
may play a role as well. But genetics alone will not cause you to
develop cancer. The human body must be overburdened with
additional factors that feed that genetic defect. Therefore, living as
preventive a lifestyle as possible can greatly reduce your risk of
suffering a genetic predisposition that can lead to cancer. These
steps teach you how reversing the many risk factors can lead to a
long, happy and productive life. This can be easier than you think
when you have a cancer coach with you through this journey. A
cancer coach is not your doctor. He or she gives you the time and
support you need – when you need it...unconditionally. Meet in the
office, by phone or in your local health food store.
Your coach is always there for you.

Step 1
Ever Wonder why You H Cancer?
ave
In this step your coach will provide you with a questionnaire
(founded from reliable, peer-reviewed, evidence based studies) to
complete. This will take you back to the conception of your being.
Yes, it starts with your mother’s health during her pregnancy with
you. This questionnaire will follow you right through your
childhood, youth, adult and senior years to examine your lifestyle,
your different environment(s) through the years, your behaviours,
your dietary routines and your emotional and psychological health.
This questionnaire will then provide us with as accurate a picture of
the likely causes leading to your cancer diagnosis. We then follow
your results with proven anti-cancer strategies that, when
implemented, can and will reverse those conditions in the body that
may otherwise keep your cancer within.

Step 2
Else is Out There
that Can Help You?
Ever Wonder What
When making treatment decisions, do you ever think that there must
be another way to outsmart this cancer you have? Any other
treatments that can work and yet don’t inflict pain, nausea and the
deadly, irreversible side effects?
Step 2 is about the treatment
options that can enhance your response to Surgery, Chemotherapy
and Radiation. Treatment options that will reduce your side effects
or the real and deadly risks that are brushed aside and not spoken
about. Step 2 is also about the options you have that will kill cancer
cells without chemo and radiation. Don’t you owe it to yourself to
know what these are? Don’t you owe it to yourself to be educated on
your disease and empowered in knowing its recovery options?
If you choose NOT to accept traditional therapies for whatever
reason, or if you choose QUALITY of life over the potentially
deadly treatment side-effects, we can still help you.

are best to consume while you are battling this disease. In fact,
should cancer patients take supplements at all? And if so, what are
the most reputable brands for conditions such as cancer? There is
one change in your diet that must be made for the best, most
promising help when fighting cancer. Learn what this is because
without it, you may not win this fight!
What foods encourage cancer cells to destroy themselves? Coaching
provides you with a customized dietary meal plan of delicious
cancer fighting recipes that feed the body with nutrients and energy
to rebuild your immune system. Learn if your drugs are depleting
certain nutrients in your body and how to replace those nutrients
safely. Bonus: Some nutrients are not recommended during medical

Step 4
Ever Wonder What Influence your
Environment
has on your Cancer?
Step 4 will help you to remove or eliminate common everyday
toxins from your environment. Everyday toxins that affect the
initiation and development of cancers from harmful substances in
every day use. Here you will learn how easy it is to have full
control over what is lurking in your home and into your cells. You
will learn about one of our most common cancer causing items that
most people use on a weekly, if not daily basis. Also, learn about the
dangers of EMF’s and how your bedroom, kitchen and your work
station may be killing you and what you can do about it. Receive a
list of healthy substitutions for these everyday harmful products.
In this section you will also receive information on how your dental
health affects your cancer and where to find an IAOMT member
dentist. Bonus: a protocol for safe (from heavy metal poisoning)
dental health during cancer.

Step 5
Ever Wonder What Your Particular Lifestyle has to
do with Your Particular Cancer?
Step 5 will show you what your own personal lifestyle risks are and
how to correct them so that they no longer feed your cancer. Learn
how the challenges of day to day life with cancer change your level
of self-confidence, physical strength, sexuality, productivity,
happiness etc. Learn and apply these steps to get back on top and
in control again.
Learn how to identify with physical symptoms, and which ones you
can correct yourself, both easily and naturally. Learn of the
benefits and protocols of everything from A-Z…during
cancer…assessing your pH and your BBT; how to avoid hair loss
with chemo; how to detox the lymph system; how to meditate or
visualize; how and when to follow procedural coffee enemas and so,
so, many more.

Step 6
Ever Wonder How Your Mental and Emotional
Health Plays
a Role in Your Cancer?
Step 6 shows you how cancer develops, progresses and can
potentially be eradicated, through the connection your mind has with
your body and its cells. Learn about Psycho-Social behaviours and
how they support a ‘ roller-coaster’ personality that may contribute
to a slow or no recovery.
Many people sense that their disease is a ‘wake-up call’. That it is
now time to embark on a path of fulfilling our psychological and
spiritual needs in addition to our nutritional and environmental
health. In step 6 we will help you to define your needs as much as
you can. If you find that you would like additional guidance in this
area, we will be able to refer you to a reputable psychologist in your
community who works exclusively with cancer patients.
