Gracelyn Guyol’s fear of cancer pushed her to become a self-taught expert on healing  without drugs. The former California public relations executive owned a 7-person agency from 1984-1992.  After its sale, she moved to New England, was diagnosed as bipolar II, and placed on an antidepressant.

Within a year, the rapid growth of breast cysts and tumors caused her to have surgery twice in 12 months.  Frightened, Gracelyn read dozens of books, searched online, and worked with a Naturopathic Doctor to overhaul her diet, take optimum natural supplements, and eliminate chemicals or other  potential toxins from her environment that might cause cells to mutate.

Finally, after discontinuing the antidepressant, her latest tumor disappeared in two months. Refusing all psychiatric drugs, she followed a similar healing process that halted bipolar symptoms by 2002 using only holistic remedies. 

Gracelyn talks with Joyce about her success healing with natural remedies. She is the author of two books, (Available through Amazon.com) which are:
