Saylor Cooper:

Hello, everybody, welcome to another episode of

Saylor Cooper:

Hope Without Sight with your host Saylor Cooper. And normally

Saylor Cooper:

my co host, Tyler Evans would be here, but I he's, he's off doing

Saylor Cooper:

some other stuff. He's at a Bible group. So it's just me

Saylor Cooper:

here. But on today's episode, first of all, it's episode 34. I

Saylor Cooper:

have a very special person who's a cancer survivor. And indeed,

Saylor Cooper:

she's overcome cancer without medical treatment, and she's

Saylor Cooper:

going to tell us more how. Please welcome Alexi Bracey.

Saylor Cooper:

Alexi, how're you doing today?

Alexi Bracey:

I'm good. Thank you so much for having me here.

Alexi Bracey:

I'm just totally delighted. Totally delighted.

Saylor Cooper:

Oh, awesome. Yeah, I believe we met on

Saylor Cooper:

podcasters connect and collaborate. Right?

Alexi Bracey:

And it's correct. Yes.

Saylor Cooper:

Yeah. And now, we're learning about affiliates

Saylor Cooper:

and all that, which is great. So get me started, you know, tell

Saylor Cooper:

me about yourself and the journey you've been on?

Unknown:

Well, you know, I mean, just, you know, anybody that's

Unknown:

listening, just imagine you get a phone call. And the voice at

Unknown:

the other end says, you have cancer, we want to book you in

Unknown:

for your surgery. Like, what is your your reaction? What do you

Unknown:

say? You know, do you cry? Do you yell? Do you faint? For me,

Unknown:

it was like dead silence. For I don't know, 10-15 seconds. And I

Unknown:

just quietly said, thank you. And as I hung up, in hung up the

Unknown:

phone, there was this little voice inside of me that said,

Unknown:

You're gonna beat it. I mean, I remember that. So distinctly,

Unknown:

you're going to beat it. I knew nothing about cancer, I knew

Unknown:

nothing about health. I knew nothing about diet. And so this

Unknown:

is like 23 years ago, more the availability of the internet is

Unknown:

three months. For me, it was a game changer, an eye opener. And

Unknown:

so I implemented a few changes. And based on that the results

Unknown:

were that without any medical intervention, drugs or surgery a

Unknown:

year later, I was cancer free. So how that started. So that

Unknown:

started me on my journey. So primarily, it was mindset,

Unknown:

definitely mindset. But, you know, we have a lot of emotional

Unknown:

trauma that has been linked to various diseases if you don't

Unknown:

overcome them, there's a test called ACE capital A KC capital

Unknown:

B,

Saylor Cooper:

adverse childhood experiences. I'm familiar with

Saylor Cooper:

that. It because I've seen it on videos where they ask doctors

Saylor Cooper:

that paediatric health care providers, especially they ask

Saylor Cooper:

at both children and parents, parents about traumas they've

Saylor Cooper:

overcome. And the each, it's a 10 point question, a 10 point

Saylor Cooper:

questionnaire. And for each question, the parent and child

Saylor Cooper:

endorse a yes, a child gets one point. And the higher the ACE

Saylor Cooper:

score is more, the more prevalent children are known to

Saylor Cooper:

have. More complications later in life, such as cardiovascular

Saylor Cooper:

disease, stroke, diabetes, mental health issues, you know,

Saylor Cooper:

even suicide, if it's if traumas not dealt with, accordingly.

Unknown:

That's so true, you know that our cells have memory,

Unknown:

and they retain that memory. And you know, it's same thing if you

Unknown:

if you think of it, when you water, a plant, with good water,

Unknown:

it grows. But all of a sudden, if you start using chlorinated

Unknown:

water, for plants not gonna grow. Why? Because it has some

Unknown:

kind of memory, the cells going, This isn't what we had the last

Unknown:

time I don't really like it. So our cells in the human body are

Unknown:

the same way. So you know, if you have a sore Pinky, do you

Unknown:

ignore it or just let it go? If you have, then it goes into a

Unknown:

sore knuckle. Do you address it? Or do you let it go? You've got

Unknown:

a sore wrist? Do you address it? Or do you let it go? So it's the

Unknown:

same thing with our, our emotions in our cells? Unless

Unknown:

those things are addressed, they become a bigger trigger, like

Unknown:

you mentioned for various diseases as we get older

Saylor Cooper:

now Yeah, makes sense. Now, did you have trauma

Saylor Cooper:

in your life? Right?

Unknown:

Well, everybody's head trauma. You know, everybody

Unknown:

Yeah. Breathing to various degrees. And today, you know,

Unknown:

some of the some of it people forget about. Some people don't

Unknown:

remember, some of it can be neonatal or before you're in

Unknown:

when your mother was pregnant or ancestral from her, you know,

Unknown:

from her background. So I had nothing significant, like some

Unknown:

stories that you hear. No. And yes, I did. You know, so it's a

Unknown:

matter of forgiving, because, you know, there's, there's a

Unknown:

really good story, two prisoners of war, are walking on their way

Unknown:

to freedom. And the one says to the other, so did you forgive

Unknown:

them? To, to which the first says, no, never can watch the

Unknown:

first replies, then they'd have you prisoners in your mind. So

Unknown:

unless you forgive and let go, you're going to be I guess,

Unknown:

haunted, or no cells are going to be all scrunched up. So you

Unknown:

know, forgiveness is. That's not saying what they did was good.

Unknown:

But you just forgive them for your own mental health for your

Unknown:

own longevity? Yeah, you do make sense, you forgiven? Yeah, so

Unknown:

another thing that I really focused on was environmental

Unknown:

toxins. And I did not know how toxic a world we live in, for

Unknown:

example, the umbilical cord today of a newborn contains more

Unknown:

than 300 chemicals, environmental chemicals, the

Unknown:

number one death, for cancer for children 16. And under is either

Unknown:

brain cancer or leukaemia, again, related to environmental

Unknown:

toxins, or chemicals were realised, our water, our air,

Unknown:

our food, or furniture or clothing, you know, and these

Unknown:

toxins play an impact on our bodies on ourselves. They should

Unknown:

do. So you know, I changed I got rid of, you know, toxic cleaning

Unknown:

products, and in toiletries. And you know, I've gone on to learn

Unknown:

more along the way. And we just have more chemicals being

Unknown:

introduced every year that are not

Saylor Cooper:

government regulated. Now. So now it's

Saylor Cooper:

about being educated. It's all about being educated. So you had

Saylor Cooper:

no medical treatment whatsoever. So as as I'm understanding it so

Saylor Cooper:

far. You You just had good positive thoughts with the mind.

Saylor Cooper:

And you got rid of the you avoid toxic chemicals. Right?

Unknown:

Right. And then I went on a plant based diet, it was

Unknown:

raw food at the time, because it was really hot I were I was, I

Unknown:

was a chef to start with. So I just switched my traditional

Unknown:

chef hat to one of raw food. I'm still a supporter of a plant

Unknown:

based diet versus meat. And I've been doing this for 23 years,

Unknown:

I've been teaching it. I've been written about it. I've got

Unknown:

recipes. And cancer does not support a meat based diet. And

Unknown:

it has been proven over and over again, for optimal cancer

Unknown:

recovery. It's plant based, whether it's prostate or breast

Unknown:

or whatever, cancer, it doesn't matter. So you know, like the

Unknown:

same goes, we are what we eat.

Saylor Cooper:

Yeah. Because your diet can also affect your

Saylor Cooper:

mind as well. I've heard that's very true, not just your weight.

Saylor Cooper:

That's right. And so you will cancer free. Right after a year,

Saylor Cooper:

like right now what cancer was it? It was uterine cancer,

Saylor Cooper:

you're going I see. And that cancer never came back after

Saylor Cooper:

that.

Unknown:

No, no, it never came back. And I'm, you know, still

Unknown:

as healthy as ever. I don't take any pharmaceutical

Unknown:

pharmaceuticals. Have my own teeth. I don't have any root

Unknown:

canals. I don't have any didn't haven't had hip replacement or

Unknown:

knee replacements. I don't have high blood pressure. I don't

Unknown:

have heart issues. I'm physically active. I don't wear

Unknown:

reading glasses. You know, and what can I say? It's all about a

Unknown:

positive mindset. And really being cognizant I think of what

Unknown:

we surround ourselves with, be it food or toxins or chemicals,

Unknown:

but also friends. We need friends that are like minded. So

Unknown:

we have something to look forward to, to discuss to

Unknown:

support one another. Exactly.

Saylor Cooper:

surround yourself with good friends that are like

Saylor Cooper:

minded that have the same ambition and avoid stress

Saylor Cooper:

because stress is a killer, you know?

Unknown:

Oh, absolutely, there's and there's a lot of things you

Unknown:

can do for stress, you know, besides, you know, the yoga, the

Unknown:

tai chi, and meditation, they're all good. But there's a lot of

Unknown:

other things. What I like is a practice called Blue mind, which

Unknown:

was started by Dr. Wallace Nichols, who was a Marine,

Unknown:

retired marine biologist. And he said, anytime you're in on or

Unknown:

near water, or hear the sound of water, you are in a semi

Unknown:

meditative state. So if you think of it, why do people

Unknown:

flocked to the islands in the wintertime, or going to their

Unknown:

cottages in the summertime, is the calming effect of water, the

Unknown:

smell of it, the waves crashing against the shore, walking

Unknown:

barefoot on a sandy beach? area? You took a group of retired

Unknown:

Marine veterans who were all suffering from PTSD to

Unknown:

repopulate the corals down in the Caribbean. They all

Unknown:

recovered. Yeah, because of that connection to water. And if you

Unknown:

think about we spent the first nine months in water in our, in

Unknown:

our mother's tummy, yes, we do. You know, and water Versa,

Unknown:

become more popular these days.

Saylor Cooper:

Yeah. And also, you know, the philosophy I have,

Saylor Cooper:

as it relates to your money and work. He does indeed, that kind

Saylor Cooper:

of effect stress is always put your health first. Your Money,

Saylor Cooper:

money is not so important. I mean, yeah, sure you need it,

Saylor Cooper:

you know, to, to pay you to pay bills and stuff. You don't you

Saylor Cooper:

don't have to have the you don't have to have luxury that you do

Saylor Cooper:

need, you do need my pay bills. But at the end of the day, you

Saylor Cooper:

know, if you're not wealthy, it's okay. But don't Don't

Saylor Cooper:

overwork yourself, you know,

Alexi Bracey:

you know, but if you don't have your health,

Alexi Bracey:

basic, and you have nothing. Yeah, definitely number one.

Alexi Bracey:

Absolutely.

Saylor Cooper:

Yeah, your health is and what I like what, because

Saylor Cooper:

it's the unbecoming entrepreneur myself, I have this podcast

Saylor Cooper:

seven, internet radio show. And I'm also getting into speaking

Saylor Cooper:

as well. I like that I'm being surrounded by many of the

Saylor Cooper:

entrepreneurs, who are working hard, but at the same time, they

Saylor Cooper:

seem to have it all together. When it comes to their health. I

Saylor Cooper:

mean, unless I'm missing some stuff, because of course, I'm

Saylor Cooper:

not with them. 24/7. But like, when, when I'm on Zoom, they

Saylor Cooper:

they just seem to be in good spirits. And, you know, I just

Saylor Cooper:

I've known some people who are just overlooked, who are not

Saylor Cooper:

always like that.

Alexi Bracey:

Yeah, well, you have to take the time to be

Alexi Bracey:

grateful to I think that's a very big, very big thing for me.

Alexi Bracey:

And I think everybody should spend more time to be grateful

Alexi Bracey:

for the things in your life, even the bad things, because the

Alexi Bracey:

bad things teach us something like for example, for me, I'm

Alexi Bracey:

grateful. I say cancer saved my life. Yeah. If I had not been

Alexi Bracey:

diagnosed them, I may not very well be around today. No, no,

Alexi Bracey:

no. And what I have learned, I've been able to teach and

Alexi Bracey:

inspire, and Coach many people on their journey to health, you

Alexi Bracey:

know, so you have to be grateful, not just for the good

Alexi Bracey:

things, but for the bad things as well, because there's a

Alexi Bracey:

lesson there to be learned.

Saylor Cooper:

Oh, absolutely. I agree with you. But you know, at

Saylor Cooper:

the same time, don't let the bad things overtake you. There's

Saylor Cooper:

just a certain way of just how you deal with it, you know?

Alexi Bracey:

Oh, absolutely. That's very true. Yeah, yeah,

Saylor Cooper:

it's really true. And I like that we're having

Saylor Cooper:

this conversation conversation. It's great. So, of course,

Saylor Cooper:

you've been cancer free. Of course, my co host is normally

Saylor Cooper:

here, but I want to tell you his mother beat cancer three times

Saylor Cooper:

breast cancer. And each time she went to, to remission, but sadly

Saylor Cooper:

she passed away in November of 2020. Whole her favourite year,

Saylor Cooper:

right? No, absolutely. That's for sure. It wasn't COVID that

Saylor Cooper:

she did pass away because of pneumonia. That she was a

Saylor Cooper:

fighter. Also, I have a grandfather who's had lung

Saylor Cooper:

cancer he thought It was died. Well, he was diagnosed last

Saylor Cooper:

September with lung cancer. And he's, we weren't sure if he was

Saylor Cooper:

going to make it. But I mean, he's been at one of the best

Saylor Cooper:

cancer treatment facilities in the world and the Anderson

Saylor Cooper:

Hospital here in Houston, Texas, and they believe he's going to

Saylor Cooper:

be cancer free very shortly. Correct? Yeah.

Alexi Bracey:

Like the same goes, if you think you can,

Alexi Bracey:

you're right. If you think you can't, you're also right.

Saylor Cooper:

Right. Right. Right, exactly. So besides being

Saylor Cooper:

a chef, you're an author, you you've written books. Tell me

Saylor Cooper:

about, tell me about that

Alexi Bracey:

Well, they're all They're all about healing in

Alexi Bracey:

some capacity, whether it's, you know, men, like I really focus

Alexi Bracey:

on being emotionally available, mentally motivated, physically

Alexi Bracey:

active, environmentally friendly, and nutritionally

Alexi Bracey:

superior in in your food. So it's sort of like a combination

Alexi Bracey:

of different things that we have to focus on. And so, you know,

Alexi Bracey:

the big thing that really opened my eyes was the environmental

Alexi Bracey:

toxins that we're just surrounded with every day. So I

Alexi Bracey:

took extensive studies on that, and I go into homes and do home

Alexi Bracey:

inspections. And I say, Well, you know, you've got got a

Alexi Bracey:

metre, so I can, I can gauge how much electromagnetic frequencies

Alexi Bracey:

you have, that your wiring is off, or if you've got mould in

Alexi Bracey:

the corner, or you know, where you store your paint that in an

Alexi Bracey:

airway that goes into into the house from your garage, because

Alexi Bracey:

everybody stores their paint in the garage, which is the worst

Alexi Bracey:

place to store it. Yeah, so it's a real eye opener for people

Alexi Bracey:

because we never knew this kind of stuff. And these toxins

Alexi Bracey:

weren't around 20 3040 years ago. So you know, there's just

Alexi Bracey:

so many different different classes that encompass could

Alexi Bracey:

help, you know, be a cancer or heart disease or, or diabetes or

Alexi Bracey:

whatever, because none of these things are diseases, they are

Alexi Bracey:

symptoms, there are symptoms of cause. Rarely, some kind of

Alexi Bracey:

bowel habit that you're neglecting.

Saylor Cooper:

Exactly, yeah. There's just symptoms in between

Saylor Cooper:

what we've what we have known environmental toxins that can

Saylor Cooper:

tell us stuff like, of course, carbon and carbon monoxide, it

Saylor Cooper:

just doesn't homeless that can kill us. Yeah, that's right. And

Saylor Cooper:

that's why we were thankful that we have a co detectors in the

Saylor Cooper:

house. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah. So you

Saylor Cooper:

Where can people find you books?

Alexi Bracey:

Um, I have an app called the whole health app.

Alexi Bracey:

Health academy.ca, which is the website, best places to connect

Alexi Bracey:

with me is on is on LinkedIn. You know, my name on LinkedIn is

Alexi Bracey:

only one Alexi Bracey. There. And for your listeners, I have a

Alexi Bracey:

free quiz that they can, I'll gladly send them that they have

Alexi Bracey:

access to, to determine, you know, maybe how many toxins you

Alexi Bracey:

have in the house and what you can do about it?

Saylor Cooper:

Yeah, yeah. Do me a favour, if you could please

Saylor Cooper:

send those to my email. I'm pretty sure you have my email.

Saylor Cooper:

Yeah, absolutely. Well, if you could send those to my email,

Saylor Cooper:

which I'll put in the show notes, that'd be great. Because

Saylor Cooper:

I did have I did ask you in Calendly. If you had any, like

Saylor Cooper:

affiliate programmes, and you said you're working on it,

Alexi Bracey:

I don't ever show it. I do have affiliate

Alexi Bracey:

programmes are sort of having a few challenges with the

Alexi Bracey:

technical stuff of it. But yes, I'm very much interested in

Alexi Bracey:

supporting anybody in their capacity and help in any way. In

Alexi Bracey:

closing, find me share what I have of daily practice of doing

Alexi Bracey:

how I show gratitude is I like to put a chuckle into people's

Alexi Bracey:

hearts by sharing a joke. So I approached strangers at the dog

Alexi Bracey:

park, at the grocery store, at the ATM machine, complete

Alexi Bracey:

strangers and I said, Can I put a chuckle in your heart? And

Alexi Bracey:

like I said, why a chuckle because behind every face, there

Alexi Bracey:

is a story. Maybe you lost a loved one, maybe you're lost a

Alexi Bracey:

job. So for two minutes, I have a captive audience. They laugh

Alexi Bracey:

out loud. It feeds my soul. That lowers cortisol. The stress

Alexi Bracey:

hormone raises endorphins, the feel good hormones in your

Alexi Bracey:

brain. And laughter has been shown to promote longevity. And

Alexi Bracey:

they may think about it all day and go home and share with the

Alexi Bracey:

loved one and say, Oh, I met this crazy woman at the dog

Alexi Bracey:

park. She shared a joke but it was really good. So having said

Alexi Bracey:

that, very quickly. A lady takes her four year old daughter to

Alexi Bracey:

deliver meals to seniors for shut ins. And this little girl

Alexi Bracey:

is totally fascinated by all the equipment the same as how the

Alexi Bracey:

wheelchairs, the walkers the cane, and one day. One day she

Alexi Bracey:

notices a set of dentures sitting in a glass of water

Alexi Bracey:

She's totally mesmerised by it. She keeps on staring at it and

Alexi Bracey:

staring out at the financial says to her mother, the two

Alexi Bracey:

theories never believe this one.

Saylor Cooper:

Oh, wow

Alexi Bracey:

So just a little thing to put a smile on people's

Alexi Bracey:

place faces.

Saylor Cooper:

That's great. That's great. Well so like what

Saylor Cooper:

are your future goals as far as entrepreneurship?

Alexi Bracey:

I'd like to have long of a start my own podcast

Alexi Bracey:

in April. And I'd like to have my own TV health show on beyond

Alexi Bracey:

to stage loser my immediate goals, for sure. And just to see

Alexi Bracey:

how other opportunities will unfold.

Saylor Cooper:

That's great. Yeah. And I hope I can be on

Saylor Cooper:

your podcast eventually, too. And absolutely. Paid speaking

Saylor Cooper:

gigs, TEDx. So, that's wonderful. Well, I don't believe

Saylor Cooper:

I have anything else for you. But as a as a standard as my

Saylor Cooper:

customary ending. I like to ask everybody, what message would

Saylor Cooper:

you give anybody who's struggling right now and doesn't

Saylor Cooper:

see a way out?

Alexi Bracey:

Yeah, hello. Yeah. Good Food for Thought.

Alexi Bracey:

Absolutely. What was that? I said good food for thought

Saylor Cooper:

Good food. Good food for thought. Yeah.

Alexi Bracey:

And at the end of the day, what are you grateful

Alexi Bracey:

for? Yeah. Great. grateful for that. It's right. All right.

Saylor Cooper:

Well, Alexei, thank you so much for being on

Saylor Cooper:

help without sight.

Alexi Bracey:

I spend my utmost pleasure. Thank you so much, and

Alexi Bracey:

I look forward to reciprocating on my podcast show.

Saylor Cooper:

Thanks and stayed blessed.

Alexi Bracey:

Yeah, you too. Thank you. Thanks.
