Defying the Odds: How Peg Harvey Beat Cancer with Holistic Practices

Peg Harvey on Holistic Healing: From Stage IV Cancer to 13 Years Cancer-Free

Host Mike Roth replays a shortened 2024 episode of Open Forum in The Villages featuring Peg Harvey, former education director at the San Diego Zoo, who describes being diagnosed with stage II uterine cancer in 2008, later discovering metastatic cancer in both lungs and receiving a 9–18 month prognosis in 2010. After finding the Optimum Health Institute in Lemon Grove, she followed a non-medical mind-body-spirit program including radical diet change (raw vegan), relaxation, meditation, prayer, detox-focused foods, and addressing emotional blocks; within eight weeks a major lung tumor dissolved and by 19 weeks her cancer was gone, leading to a 13-year “cancerversary” in 2023. She discusses holistic medicine, references Dr. Kelly Turner’s 2014 book Radical Remission and its nine common factors among survivors, offers practical diet examples and advice to question prognoses, and explains moving from San Diego to The Villages for safety and quality of life.
