In October 2022, Kathaleen Baisch was diagnosed with two different kinds of breast cancer in each breast. Her oncologist recommended chemotherapy as well as a mastectomy.
“I didn’t tolerate chemo well,” said Kathaleen. “And the decision to do surgery felt very rushed, so I cancelled it. It took years for my tumors to grow, so I wanted to take some time to try to heal myself holistically. I was in a San Diego farmer’s market speaking with a vendor, and when she heard my story, she recommended OHI. I researched the program, and it was exactly what I was looking for. My extreme health opportunity and my financial need qualified me for the scholarship program, and I was invited to come to OHI for a 3-week stay.”
Kathaleen committed fully to the program. “I am in immense pain from the tumors, but I want to give my body every chance possible to heal,” said Kathaleen. “It took two weeks before I started feeling my head clear, but it’s like the clouds parted and I could finally think straight. I know the wheatgrass is the foundation of the detox, so I started putting wheatgrass poultices on my chest. I have immense pain in my upper body from the tumors, but while I was at OHI my pain significantly subsided. The tumor in the center of my chest noticeably reduced in size. The poultices combined with lymphatic massage made an enormous difference in my comfort.”
Kathaleen is so grateful to OHI for the scholarship she received. “I want to thank OHI for changing my life,” said Kathaleen. “The scholarship has literally saved me. I finished my 3-week stay on May 4, and I’m already approved to return to OHI on May 31 to start the missionary program. OHI is where I feel safe right now. I want to be of service to others and help them on their wellness journey as I continue to pursue my own. Adhering to the OHI program allows me to see positive change in my body, and that is a God send. Thank you for giving me hope, OHI!”
