In This Interview
Shandy Laskey intervied Jessica in this Instagram live. They talked about:
- How hard it was to convince doctors to perform a biopsy
- Bioindividuality
- How Hannah’s rare type of cancer is usually only seen in agricultural workers
- How Hannah’s exposure to the glyphosate in Roundup® likely caused her cancer
- How the foods her daughter was told to eat by her mainstream practitioners were “cancer bombs”
- How cannabis oil helped
- How insurance policy dictates the standard of care in a one-size-fits-all approach
- How the family made diet and lifestyle changes
- How the family lowered their total load by replacing toxic personal-care and cleaning products with nontoxic versions
