Renegade Remission: Hope and Healing for Terminal Illness, Cancer, ALS, MS, Dementia, Heart Disease

What if buried anger was quietly fueling disease—and releasing it could change everything? In this episode, we explore the surprising connection between suppressed anger, chronic illness, and healing. Through the story of Joe, a man who stabilized his metastatic lung cancer without chemotherapy, we see how confronting decades of repressed anger and guilt transformed not only his health but his entire relationship with himself and with God. Alongside his story, we’ll uncover what science shows about the health risks of unresolved anger—from heart disease and cancer progression to immune dysfunction and autoimmune flares. You’ll learn: * Why chronic anger and repressed emotions harm the immune system and fuel inflammation. * How practices like journaling, therapy, energy healing, and forgiveness can release stuck emotions. * A powerful Hawaiian practice, Ho’oponopono, that helps cut the “ropes” tethering you to resentment and frees your body to heal. Listen in to discover how releasing anger isn’t just about feeling lighter—it may be one of the most important steps in unlocking your body’s natural ability to repair and recover.

If fear can shut down your body’s ability to heal, what might happen if you learned to release it? Fear isn’t just an emotion—it’s a biological signal that locks the body into fight-or-flight mode, shutting down immunity and blocking recovery. For those facing serious illness, fear of the future or fear of death can feel overwhelming. But radical remission survivors consistently describe releasing fear as one of the most important steps toward healing—and modern science is now confirming why. In this episode, you’ll discover: * The science showing how fear suppresses immune cells, slows healing, and fuels disease. * Real-life stories, like Nathan’s journey, that reveal what changes once fear is faced and released. * Practical tools for naming fear, practicing surrender, and returning the body to its natural healing state. Press play to learn how releasing fear may unlock your body’s own healing power and help restore balance, resilience, and peace.

What if your body already knew how to heal—and your mind was the missing key? In this episode, we explore a remarkable story of recovery that challenges everything we think we know about medicine, biology, and belief. In 1986, chiropractor Joe Dispenza was told he’d never walk again after a devastating spinal injury. Instead of surgery, he turned to meditation and visualization—repeatedly imagining his spine repairing itself. Against all odds, within weeks he was walking. His story isn’t just inspiring—it’s backed by neuroscience showing how thoughts can reshape the brain, hormones, and even immune function. You’ll learn: * How doubt can be the biggest barrier to healing—and why practice rewires the brain. * The science behind neuroplasticity, stress hormones, and immune modulation in mind-body medicine. * Practical ways you can use visualization, relaxation, and intention to shift your body into “healing mode.” Press play now to hear how belief, focus, and the relaxation response can unlock your body’s innate intelligence to repair and renew.

Can your body really heal just because you believe it can? In this episode, we explore how expectation creates real biological changes—sometimes as powerful as medication or surgery. From sham surgeries that relieve chronic pain to sugar pills that rival morphine, the science of placebo and nocebo shows us that healing isn’t only about what we take, but also what we believe. Yet, most of us have no idea how to access this built-in mind-body medicine. By listening, you’ll discover: * The surprising truth about how and why drug trials minimize the placebo effect. * The everyday practices that flip your nervous system into “healing mode.” * How positive expectation can boost immunity, calm inflammation, and accelerate recovery. Press play now to learn how to harness the healing power of the mind-body connection and unlock one of the most underused medicines you already carry within you.

What if your expectations alone could shrink tumors, cause blisters, or even relieve chronic pain—without a single pill or surgery? In this episode of Renegade Remission, Elanie explores the mysterious—and sometimes controversial—world of the placebo and nocebo effects. From a man whose cancer melted away with a fake drug, to patients who lost their hair after receiving nothing but saline, these stories reveal how profoundly belief shapes biology. And it’s not just stories—brain imaging and molecular studies show these effects are rooted in real, measurable neurochemistry. By listening, you’ll discover: * How placebo can trigger healing and why nocebo can worsen disease. * Astonishing cases of sham surgeries, hypnosis, and suggestion that changed patients’ health outcomes. * The science behind how belief signals the brain to release chemicals that affect immunity, pain, and healing. Press play to learn how expectation can profoundly shape recovery—and how to harness the positive side of this effect without falling into denial or false hope.
