A Home run set of three recommendations for Robert, a cancer patient.


These recommendations are arranged from easiest to hardest. Also, their potential overall effectiveness goes from good to greatest.

  1. Eat a high-quality Keto diet. When you understand the mechanisms behind what causes cancer and most of the lifestyle diseases that we suffer from you will understand the amazing potential the Ketogenic diet has to improve and prevent all kinds of medical problems. A person with cancer would not want to cut corners on their food quality. So everything should be organic, and grass-fed/finished type foods. Some reference books are listed below.
    1. Keto for Cancer, Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy by Miriam Kalamian, 2017 – Covers Keto as a nutritional addition to conventional cancer treatments.
    2. The Alzheimer's Antidote, Using a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet to Fight Alzheimer's Disease, Memory Loss, and Cognitive Decline by Amy Berger, 2017
    3. Keto Clarity, Your Definitive Guide to the Benefits of a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet, by Jimmy More with Eric Westman, MD., 2014 – Is an overview of the diet without the specific health focus of the above two books.
    4. Cholesterol Clarity by Jimmy Moore with Eric Westman, MD, 2013 – Provides up to date research information on Cholesterol to correct miss-information currently passed out by most in the medical field.
  2. Add Extended fasting to the safe limit of your body's fat reserves. As good as the Keto diet is to halt the decline and start the healing, extended fasting allows for the body to really start repairing itself! This can also be a good intentional supplemental strategy to go along with chemo-therapy when people typically don't feel like eating anyway. Some reference books are listed below.
    1. Fast Your Way to Health by Lee Bueno-Aguer. I have a 1991 version of this book and it is the best Christian book that I have read on fasting. In 1991 they didn't understand the healing bodily function that fasting was promoting but they really understood how to Fast better than anyone else that I know of.
    2. The Complete Guide to Fasting by Jason Fung and Jimmy Moore, 2016. This is a more modern medical based book on Fasting. I put fasting as being more difficult than diet change but Dr. Fung's experience with thousands of patients is that fasting is easier.
  3. Understand and Internalize what the Bible says about healing. This is the hard one. The first two above recommendations can be implemented in a matter of weeks. This one will likely require months or years depending upon how intentional you are to work on it. I'm still on a journey, but I have come a long way in the last five years. The main difficulty is that you don't know what you don't know. So you likely think that you have a full understanding when, most probably, you are filled with critical misunderstandings of what the Bible says and means. I have several basic recommendations for this arranged from easiest to hardest.
    1. Read books and listen to teachings on healing from people who believe in biblical healing.
      1. Christ the Healer by F.F. Bosworth, First published in 1924. This is a good basic book on Biblical healing
    2. Identify key scriptures on Biblical healing and memorize them. Meditating on scriptures is a good way to work on internalizing the message.
    3. Get around people who believe that God still answers prayers for healing and are actively demonstrating that belief on a weekly basis by praying for those with cancer, the blind, the lame, the sick, etc. This is the hard one because for me it meant leaving a church that I had attended for 20 years. The church I now attend, Lakeside Worship Center, actively believes in healing and there are others in the Elizabethtown community. You need people that have a biblical understanding of healing that they act on, who will support and teach you.

 Comments on 3 leg stool from The Anarchist’s Design Book by Christopher Schwarz. Stool build photos and commentary by Andrew Willis, July 6, 2026   About six years ago I built the 3-leg stool shown below on the left. The original stool is called a High Staked Stool from chapter 7. On the right is a 4-leg rectangular stool that I built to replace the 3-leg stool. The new stool was finished this past 4 th of July weekend. Stools are shown surrounding my kitchen island. Having built a replacement, the 3-leg stool has been retired and will be donated to a yard sale fundraiser. Here is why I built a replacement. ·         The 3-leg stool was unstable and was knocked over many times in comparison to the ordinary round top store bought 4 leg stools shown in this picture. So the stool was generally not trusted and largely avoided by the family to avoid injury. ·         The stool top was slanted back...

The balance between God's role and our role in healing

My personal recommendations and understanding of the balance between God's role and our role in healing. By Andrew Willis God's role. - The healing evangelist Andrew Womak has speculated that healing is 75% God and 25% Natural. His explanation is that this percentage is not mentioned in the Bible but it is a way of showing his understanding of the balance between God's role and our natural human efforts at eating well, quitting smoking, etc. If you are seeking God's healing, he encourages the following to “press into” and appropriate God's healing for yourself.  Meditate on and memorize healing scriptures  Read books on Christian healing.  Listen to Christian healing podcasts/sermons by Andrew Womak and others.  Our role – No place in the New Testament was Jesus unable to heal someone. Over and over Jesus is described as healing “All”. There is no record of him saying something like “Oh sorry, you're a smoker, I can't help you.” However, it also make...

The Keto Diet in two pages

The Keto Diet in two pages. By Andrew Willis, January 11, 2020, Elizabethtown KY, USA Introduction This is a simple “quick start” introduction to the Keto diet that can get you going successfully. I occasionally have the opportunity to explain the Keto diet to someone and so have asked myself what the best way is to explain it. One suggestion I have given is for people to read the first chapter in a Keto cookbook. Every Keto cookbook that I have seen, has used the first chapter to give a basic explanation of the diet. So that is a relatively easy way to learn what to do in only 30 or so pages. My criticism of Keto cookbooks is that I think they make the diet harder than needed to justify all of the recipes in the book that you just bought. While the recipes taste good, many people don't want to special order ingredients, spend a lot of money on food, or spend lots of time in the kitchen working out new recipes. So my suggestion is to get started with some easy quick cheap...
