Testimonials
"My oncologist gave me the news that I was NED (no evidence of disease)!"
I lost myself along the way, cancer was a big wake-up call. I knew I needed to get back to myself in order to be happy and to beat my cancer diagnosis. Megan & CPU helped me reach that. The information in CPU shed so much light on things that I hadn’t known regarding my diagnosis. Her work has given me such outstanding confidence, light, and love. Something I needed in my dark time.
I owe a lot to Megan and Cancer Peace University. Years of emotional damage, anxiety and fear of life (thus cancer) all mostly resolved. In my last oncology appointment, my oncologist gave me the news that I was NED (no evidence of disease)! He was not expecting these results as I was initially told that I would end up on palliative chemotherapy treatments.

Lila & Multiple Myeloma
I was given the diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, an incurable form of cancer. I didn’t feel like a ‘diagnosis’ working with CPU; instead, I felt like a whole person and was uplifted from the empathetic support I received. As I watched CPU’s very informative and well-researched videos, I knew that I had made the right decision to work with CPU!
After 6-7 months of working with CPU, my overall health and outlook improved dramatically! I was told shortly after by my oncologist that I was in remission! The support I found through CPU has been invaluable. I could write my own book on how much CPU helped me!

Roxy’s story after working with Cancer Peace University
I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer Stage 4 on June 30th, 2017. There is so much knowledge in Megan’s head that is shared throughout Cancer Peace University, I honestly don’t understand half of it (as it’s so much) but Megan does a great job of explaining anything you don’t understand. Every few months, I saw my cancer numbers go down, and down, until one day exactly one year after my diagnosis, I was in the normal range on a cancer marker blood test and told by my oncologist that I was in remission! I do feel I owe Cancer Peace University my long, healthy life that I am going to live!

"Complete remission!"
I was diagnosed with Stage IV adenocarcinoma in my right lung which had metastasized into the bones in my spine. I can’t put into words the transformation I felt after each session with CPU. After 6 months, my oncologist read the results of my PET scan in a matter-of-fact tone: ‘the scan only shows scar tissue in your lung and the bones in your spine are healing.’ It seemed quite anti-climactic. However, a few short months later, I was told after a PET that my scan was clear and I was in complete remission! Relieved is not even the word to describe how I felt.
I thank Megan and CPU for helping me find this path of healing. Cancer made me stop and think about what my true purpose is on this earth. At this moment, it is for me to say to you: ‘If you are in the middle of a cancer storm, follow CPU’s protocol, and embrace the gift that has been given to Megan to share through CPU. Her CPU program is a godsend.

"Phenomenal"
As the saying goes, ‘knowledge is power.’ I was trained by Megan Van Zyl in Cancer Peace University and experienced a paradigm shift in how I viewed cancer. Shortly after, I was surprised by a uterine cancer diagnosis. Never in a million years did I think I would be diagnosed with cancer and never in a million years did I think I was going to be as calm and collective as I was. Megan has given me numerous healing remedies. My last 6 months working with Megan has been phenomenal. Within 6 months, my cancer marker test (Nagalase) went from 2.71 to .83, which is in the normal range! I am so thankful that I went through Cancer Peace University prior to my diagnosis and that I was prepared to find a solid path of healing.

"Tumors shrunk by 50%"
I was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer in May of 2017, with cancer spreading to my bones and liver. Megan Van Zyl provided clarity amidst a lot of conflicting information that is available. The biggest impact working with Megan Van Zyl has been how healthy I feel despite having a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis for over 1 year. Everyone comments on how good I look! My nutritional regimen has lessened the effects of the chemotherapy. Additionally, Megan has helped me become more aware and in touch with my emotional and spiritual side allowing me to fully heal in my mind, body and spirit. With Megan’s help and guidance along with my medication, my tumors have shrunk by 50% in the liver and there is less cancer in my bones as well. Additionally, I have a positive outlook and stronger connection with God. Megan Van Zyl is a much needed member of any cancer care team to someone who wants to utilize a holistic approach to healing.
