Kelly's Oil
Christmas of 2013 Kelly Hauf was told that a brain tumor, surgically removed in 2003, had returned. She suspected as much because she had started having olfactory seizures at night. Kelly had heard about cannabis helping seizure disorders and while reading about that she had come across studies in Israel and Spain describing how cannabis could disarm a brain cancer cell’s ability to hide from the body’s defense mechanism. Now visible, the immune system could find and kill the cancer cells. Kelly was part of a brain tumor support group and knew that the return of a tumor was not good news. Her doctors were recommending chemotherapy and surgery, but she had made up her mind that if her time were limited, she would rather spend it with her family than fighting brain cancer in a hospital.
Intrigued by the information on cannabis healing brain cancer, Kelly wanted to learn more and perhaps try cannabis as a cure. Living in Oklahoma, a state where medicinal marijuana was illegal, Kelly knew she would have to go to a legal state like Colorado or California. Persuading her husband, Rick, to go on a journey to find out more about curing cancer with cannabis was not as hard as she feared. Rick, an assistant chief at the Stillwater Fire Department, had accumulated enough seniority and paid leave to be able to leave work on short notice and for an extended amount of time. He also saw the fact-finding journey to California as a chance for a much-needed vacation. Kelly’s tumor was a slow-growing kind, so he felt alright about postponing the doctors’ recommendations
for a few weeks.
Thus begins Kelly’s healing journey. Cannabis was not an approved treatment for cancer and there was no protocol. This book is Kelly’s story of finding her way to health by learning to trust her instincts, grow into a relationship with nature and a plant ally, and to balance her fears with faith in herself. With the help of cannabis Kelly’s brain tumor was conquered. Kelly’s friends in Oklahoma watched this amazing journey cheering her on. Kelly got an all-clear diagnosis in September 2018, and the following November of that year Oklahoma voted to go legal with medical marijuana.
Kelly Hauf lives with her husband, Rick, in Perkins, Oklahoma. In order to treat her brain tumor with cannabis, she moved to San Francisco and to Tuolumne, California.

What I did
Cannabis Oil (FECO)
I followed the Rick Simpson Protocol of sixty grams in
ninety days. I didn’t follow it exactly; I listened to my own
body and increased the dose as I could. To follow his exact
protocol, buy his book or consult the internet for his specific
instructions. I now understand that his method of making
your own oil is only good if you do not have any other
option. It is always best to use cannabis oil that has been
tested for contaminants, heavy metals, and pesticides and has
the cannabinoid and terpene profile information you need to
create accurate and consistent doses. I also learned that I was
using a Sativa strain but it is advised to use an Indica. Sativa
is more uplifting and Indica is more sedating. Therefore, I
needed to walk instead of sleep.
Fresh Juice
Rick made fresh organic juice for us every two to three days.
Typically, it was made from organic carrots, kale, celery, beet,
ginger, and turmeric root. He would add black pepper before
drinking. Since carrots contain a lot of sugar, we limited the
amount but still added them. We drank about six ounces of
this elixir daily.
Smoothies
I made morning smoothies with all organic ingredients.
Typically, I used vegetable protein, flax oil, ground chia
seed, various berries and fruit, maca powder, black seed
oil, coconut water, spinach, almond milk, powdered multi-
vitamin mix, and sometimes bananas or other variations of
organic healthy ingredients.
Teas
I drank lots of Essiac and Green tea. I frequently would
add lemon, honey, cinnamon, and fresh grated turmeric and
ginger.
Water
I drank alkaline water from a Kagan water machine that
changes your tap water into alkaline water. I had heard that
cancer can’t survive in an alkaline environment. I am not
aware if this information has been debunked but I used it for
all my water needs.
Garlic
I ate a lot of garlic. I had heard that garlic can kill cancer
cells, so I added it to our meals.
Groceries
All our groceries were organic and gluten free. We chose
mainly fruits and vegetables.
Meat
We didn’t eat red meat but had sustainable-raised fish and
chicken occasionally.

Apricot Kernels
The amygdalin extracted from apricot kernels has been used
to create a chemically modified version of B17, also known
as Laetrile. These kernels contain cyanide which is poisonous
in large doses. It is extremely important follow the correct
dosage for your body weight.
Black Seed Oil
I added one teaspoon to my smoothies. I had read a study
from Croatia that the phytochemicals in this oil resulted in a
52% decrease of tumor cells in mice.
Sugar
I gave up most sugar but still enjoyed high quality options.
Walks
I walked at least three miles almost every day. I spent time
in nature, deep breathing, laughing, taking in beauty, and
learning how to play and have fun.
Releasing Emotional Density
I followed Panache Desai’s lessons on releasing emotional
density through his workbook, Discovering Your Soul
Signature: 33 Day Path to Purpose, Passion, and Joy.
Hypnosis
I practiced self-guided hypnosis on a regular basis through
audio on subjects such as healing cancer, radiant health, and
cultivating positive mental states.
Creative Visualization
I created a perfect outcome visualization script using all of
my five senses—seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling.
Every morning before getting out of bed, I visualized this
script.
These were the main components of my health plan. Before
I started trying to cure my brain tumor, I was a just a mid-
western mom and oma, living my life on the Oklahoma
prairie eating not-so-healthy food. I feel overwhelmingly
blessed to have been granted more time with my family and
hopefully to help others by sharing my story.
I’m not a health or nutrition expert. New studies are being
conducted and new information is coming out every day. I
recommend that people always seek medical advice from
their caregivers. I also stress the critical importance of careful
due diligence, research, and credible sources of information
to all persons looking to create sensible health plans.
Rick and I primarily consumed whole foods, protein
smoothies, freshly juiced fruits and vegetables, and quick,
easily prepared meals. In addition, with most meals we added
servings of my homemade sauerkraut and Rick’s fresh grown
microgreen sprouts.
Rick’s Microgreen Sprouts
Sulforaphane Sprouts
One Quart Mason Jar Method
Broccoli sprouts are known for their sulforaphane content
with has been proven to be excellent for fighting cancer. Kale
is a lesser known sulforaphane powerhouse. The mix we use
combines five sulforaphane-rich heirloom kale and broccoli
seed varieties to create this super nutritious and tasty
sprouting seed mix.
You will need:
2 tablespoons of Sulforaphane Mix Sprouting Seeds(available online)
1 quart mason jar (you can use a larger sprouting jar
if you’d like, just be sure to adjust the seed quantity
accordingly. For instance, if you are using a half-
gallon jar, you will need 4 tablespoons rather than 2tablespoons.)
Sprouting lid/screen
Fresh water for soaking and rinsing
Directions:
Courtesy Rainbow Heirloom Seeds: https://www.rainbowheirloomseeds.com/
product-page/sulforaphane-sprouting-mix
1. Measure two tablespoons of Sulforaphane Sprouting Mix
into a quart sized mason jar.
2. Cover the seeds with plenty of water and place sprouting
lid on the jar. Allow the seeds to soak overnight for eight to
twelve hours.
3. In the morning after soaking your seeds, drain the soak
water out of the sprouting jar and then give the seeds a good
rinse with fresh water. Drain off all water very well.
4. Shake the seeds out a bit in the jar, making sure that they
are not piled up against the screen that would prevent good
airflow. Rest the jar on its side on a flat surface. Check the
seeds after a few minutes to make sure no water is pooling in
the jar. If you notice excess moisture, simply tilt the jar over
the sink to drain off the water.
5. This mix of sprouts can be a little bit touchy as they’re
getting started. Keeping the jar in a dark place with good
airflow for the first 4 days while the seeds are germinating
can help ensure a good harvest. Another option is to place a
dark cloth or lightweight towel over the jar during the first
few days, being careful not to cover the screen and impede
airflow.
6. On the evening of the first day, rinse and drain your seeds
again, following the process outlined in the prior step.
7. On each subsequent day, repeat the rinse and drain
process twice a day, morning and evening. The key here is to
be sure to thoroughly drain all the water out of the jar after
rinsing.
8. On the final day of sprouting, move your sprouting jar to
a sunnier location, such as a windowsill. This will encourage
chlorophyll development, causing your sprouts to “green up.”
Make sure this location is not too hot or extremely bright
since this can dry out or even harm the sprouts. Greening up
your sprouts should only take a few hours at most.
9. The sulforaphane sprouts should be ready to harvest by
the seventh day.
10. To harvest, give the sprouts one final rinse and de-hull,
if preferred. Be sure to drain and dry the sprouts thoroughly
prior to refrigerating. A salad spinner works great for drying
the sprouts.
Kelly’s Sauerkraut
Yields: 16 servings
Prep time: 1 hour
Ferment time: 1–4 weeks (I like 2 weeks)
Ingredients:
21⁄2 lb. head of organic cabbage
11⁄2–2 teaspoons salt per pound of cabbage (I use Pink
Himalayan)
Large mixing bowl
1-quart glass jar
Glass fermenting weight
Fermenting lid
Optional Extras that I add to customize:
Fresh organic garlic, turmeric, ginger, carrots, beets,
powdered organic turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin, black
pepper . . . or whatever you would like to add.
Directions:
1. Remove outer leaves of the cabbage head that are
damaged and dirty. Reserve an intact outer leaf, wash, and
set aside. Cut the head in half and remove the core. Rinse the
remaining cabbage well allowing water to flow between the
cabbage leaves. Drain well.
2. Tare the weight of the bowl you will be using, then
thinly shred the remaining cabbage with a knife (or a food
processor) and weigh the shredded cabbage.
3. Calculate the amount of salt needed, sprinkle it over the
cabbage, and toss well. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
4. Hand massage the cabbage for at least five minutes, during
time the cabbage will release a good amount of liquid brine.
5. Pack the cabbage firmly into a clean glass quart jar. Pour
the brine that was released during kneading on top.
6. Cut a circle the same diameter as the jar out of the
reserved cabbage leaf. Place it on the top of the packed-
down cabbage. Place the glass weight on top of the cabbage
to ensure that it stays under the brine. If the brine doesn’t
completely cover the cabbage and weight, top off with a 2%
solution of salt water consisting of one teaspoon salt per cup
of water.
7. Screw on fermenting lid, place the jar on a rimmed
pan to catch any overflow, and allow to ferment at room
temperature in a dark place until the kraut reaches the
preferred sourness, usually one to four weeks. In my
environment, the cabbage ferments perfectly to my taste in
two weeks.
8. When fermenting reaches desired stage, refrigerate the
kraut.
Kelly’s Garlic Kraut
I always customize my recipe and make half-gallon jars of
garlic kraut. I don’t like my kraut extra salty, so I use 11⁄2
teaspoon salt per pound. After massaging the cabbage, I add
garlic—either 1⁄8 cup whole crushed, 2 tablespoons chopped,
or 1 teaspoon powdered.
Customize to your own taste. Rick and I love garlic and the
boost it gives to the immune system.
Kelly’s Anti-inflammatory Kraut
At the same time, I also make a half gallon of my anti-
inflammatory mix of 1 tablespoon chopped fresh turmeric
and 2 teaspoons ground turmeric, 1⁄8 cup sliced ginger and 1
teaspoon powdered ginger, 1⁄8 teaspoon ground black pepper,
and sometimes I add shredded carrots and/or shredded beets,
and 1⁄8 teaspoon cumin. Again, this is just a guide, customize
to your own taste.
Kelly’s Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
(from Bryan Campbell)
Ingredients
3⁄4 cup firmly packed almond flour or almond meal
(about 3 ounces or 100 grams)
1⁄4 cup firmly packed coconut flour
(about 11⁄2 ounces or 43 grams)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt (use 1⁄4 teaspoon if using
regular table salt or if you’re sensitive to salt)
Dash cinnamon (optional)
1⁄2 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
1⁄2 cup real maple syrup (preferably grade B) or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped, or 1 cup chocolate
chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. I like to candy them
before adding. Add a tablespoon of butter and brown
sugar and sauté until toasted and caramelized.
Flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a
cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking
soda, salt and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter (or
coconut oil), maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract.
Mix thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate.
3. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes in the refrigerator
so the coconut flour can absorb some of the excess
moisture (or let the dough chill in the fridge for 10+
minutes if you want fat cookies).
4. Scoop dough, one tablespoon at a time, in mounds
onto the baking sheet, spacing two inches apart.
5. Bake for about 11 minutes, until golden brown. I like
to lightly mash them down a bit with a fork about half
way through the baking process.
6. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 10
minutes, then slide onto parchment paper-lined cooling
rack. Dust with flaked salt, if preferred.
