We'll meet two OHI "missionaries" who have seemingly healed themselves of Stage 4 cancer. Kirsten Schulz is a 42 year-old psychologist whose doctors said chemo was her only chance of living. But she came here instead.
Her breast tumor had spread to other organs but after several months on this program it has gone back into her breast only and on the way out of her body, Kirsten is convinced.
Conversation with cancer survivor Peg Harvey-Sweeney who experienced recovery and healing at the Optimum Health Institute in San Diego. She was told to get her affairs in order after a cancer diagnosis. Instead she came here and says she is now cancer free!

We'll find out from Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man, who spent a year – along with his small family – sharply reducing their ecological impact to near zero.
What prompted such a radical undertaking and how did a journey so many expected to be futile turn out to be fulfilling? Colin's mission was to learn how to reduce waste of materials but learned how to not waste precious moments. He'll tell us how his family's quest to reduce garbage helped them discover an abundance of gratitude.
