Fifteen years ago, Liana Werner-Gray faced a daunting cancer diagnosis at the young age of 21. Diagnosed with a tumor and early-stage lymphatic system cancer, along with chronic fatigue, parasites, and digestive problems, she embarked on a path less traveled. Instead of conventional treatments, Werner-Gray chose to overhaul her diet and lifestyle, a decision she credits with saving her life. She shared her story with Fox News Digital during a recent event on Capitol Hill featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Werner-Gray, originally from Australia, believed her health issues stemmed from her "horrendous" diet. Working alongside a naturopath and functional doctor, she implemented a comprehensive detox plan with a strong emphasis on gut health. Within three months, Werner-Gray reported that her tumor had completely disappeared and her other health issues significantly improved. This experience inspired her to create "The Earth Diet," initially a blog documenting her dietary journey, which later evolved into a published book in 2014.

Werner-Gray's approach centers around consuming natural, whole foods, aligning with what she describes as "foods that God provides us with naturally." Since her first book, she has authored several others focusing on the healing power of food for both physical and mental health conditions.

Werner-Gray is a proponent of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, citing the alarming statistic of over 1,600 daily cancer deaths in the U.S. She firmly believes cancer is preventable and advocates for changes, particularly in nutrition, to reverse this trend. While acknowledging the existence of conventional treatments, she emphasizes the potential of alternative approaches.

Dr. Marc Siegel, a Fox News medical analyst, while not involved in Werner-Gray’s care, acknowledges the occurrence of spontaneous cancer remissions. He also emphasizes the significant role of diet and exercise in cancer treatment and recovery. Dr. Siegel advocates for a combined approach, incorporating traditional treatments with lifestyle adjustments and even prayer.

Dr. Nicole Saphier, a Fox News medical contributor, underscores the personalized nature of cancer treatment, highlighting that effectiveness varies among individuals. She recommends a balanced approach, integrating natural treatments with conventional methods, while considering the specific cancer type, overall health, and individual beliefs. Dr. Saphier cautions against solely relying on natural treatments, having witnessed adverse outcomes in such cases. She stresses the importance of informed decision-making through full disclosure of treatment benefits and risks.
