I’m a Woman on a Mission…
‘Double-zero is the resource I wish I’d had when diagnosed with breast cancer at 50. Half-way to my own ‘double-zero’ (100 years old) I was scared. I set about Googling; ploughing through endless websites, searching for relevant research papers, crying at YouTube clips, reading books and articles – many of which were conflicting, irrelevant and confusing. So here it is; One site, full of solid, useful information from those who know.’ Denise Stevenson, Founder

’10 years ago I arrived in France as a trailing spouse with 2 young children. The associated stress, anxiety and difficulties of living in a new country, with limited French, took its toll. In the following years I became faced with many health challenges. I went down many rabbit holes before finally being introduced to a whole food plant-based (WFPB) way of life. I’ve not looked back. My physical and mental health has benefited immensely. Stress management was also key. I exercise in nature daily with my 2 retired huskies, have learned new skills, strengthened my faith, prioritised sleep and focused on quality friendships. OQP (Only Quality People) as a friend once said! The added bonus? A WFPB diet has the least impact on the environment. I am healthier and happier, and no longer feel overwhelmed with dis-ease!
I feel honoured to assist Denise on her mission to provide a centralised resource of credible health and well-being information: the information that has helped us and hopefully will help you ‘Maximise Your Healthy Years.’

Robert was born 1964 in Nottingham, England and raised on a farm. He is happily married to Sue and has a son; Jordan. He’s been a Christian since 2004, enjoys playing guitar in his church worship band and loves playing finger-picking style classic folk songs.
Robert ran a carpet/upholstery cleaning business for 16 years where he learned rudimentary chemistry and biology in textile fibres and chemicals and contaminants. He became a member of the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) and served as a director for 6 years, going deeper into the science of professional cleaning. ‘It is strange to think that this gave me a good grounding for understanding the human body and it’s functions’…
In 2008 he lost both parents to cancer and witnessed things that made him question the practices of the medical approach and his parents’ care. He started to research cancer from a layman’s perspective to find out, amongst other reasons, why one person in two will get the disease. ‘This is where I started my journey entering ‘the rabbit hole’.’
In 2011 his wife was told she had no hope with a 60 x 50 x 54mm tumour on her liver which was strangulating her bile duct tubes. The doctor said he was so very sorry there was nothing they could do. He prescribed Temazepam sleeping tablets because he said that she was going to need them. Robert and Sue put in place a strategy of natural healing protocols that he had researched. The tumour went away, with only scar tissue remaining according to the last MRI scan and Sue is alive and well today!
They felt they had to let others know about this. They set up Active Cancer Therapy Support (ACTS) where they put on free monthly meetings for 8 years, sharing the knowledge and principles of what they chose to do. They have witnessed some wonderful and inspiring things happen in other people’s lives too.
‘We do not profess to be medically qualified and therefore we appreciate that we cannot give specific advice, indeed there are laws that prevent this. However all we do is to share the knowledge of what we chose to do when told there was no hope and we encourage other people to do their own research on their own healing journey. Much of the information that we share is held within the Pubmed Library of Medicine peer-reviewed science, yet none of this knowledge was discussed with my father, mother, uncle and father in-law who all died of cancer.
This has become a passion for us and so out of the loss of our loved ones, good has come and therefore we can truly say that my parents and family did not die for nothing. I prayed that someone would come along that could take what we do to another level and it seems that Denise Stevenson is the answer to prayer to support and empower others on their journey back to health, well-being and to maximise the potential of true healing.’
