Healing and Surviving Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer with Mark Ruegg

  1. Healing and Surviving Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer with Mark Ruegg Alethea Felton 1:01:21

What do you do when a doctor looks you in the eyes and tells you that you have 4 to 6 months to live? For Mark Ruegg, the answer was to refuse that sentence with everything in him and go searching for a different truth. 

Diagnosed with one of the rarest and most aggressive forms of Stage IV pancreatic cancer, Mark made a decision that would change not just his body but his entire understanding of what it means to be alive. In this breathtaking episode, Mark shares the healing journey that left his medical team at Cedars Sinai speechless and a 7-ingredient recipe that he believes holds the key to what his doctors could not explain. 

Sometimes the miracle is not just that you survived, it is that you were brave enough to believe you could before there was any proof that you would.
