Templeton Wellness Foundation is a Comprehensive Collection of My Own Research and Resources to Surviving Cancer Through Holistic and Alternative Medicine.
“You have cancer…” are three of the most terrifying words anyone can hear.
And that’s exactly what my doctor told me 40 years ago. Yet here I stand today, a living testament to the fact that a cancer diagnosis does NOT have to be a death sentence.
Watch this video as I share my journey as a Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer Survivor. My experiences, discoveries, and hard-won knowledge have led me to a personal mission: to show those battling this dreadful disease what I’ve learned — that there is more than one path to healing.
A cancer diagnosis doesn’t have to mark the end. I and countless others are living proof of that. If you or someone you know is facing this battle, I hope that this site and collection of resources gives you the inspiration, courage and tools to fight, and win in the battle against cancer.

Meet the Founder James Templeton
If you or a loved one has cancer, there’s reason for hope:
More than three decades ago, when I was just 32 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. Doctors offered me few treatment options. And even less chance for survival.
That was the beginning of the fight for my life. I pored over stacks of books and medical papers. I dove into alternative health approaches. I met with cancer survivors to hear their stories. I turned the world upside down looking for something, anything, that would give me an edge over cancer. And you know what? I found it.
The thing is though… none of what I found came from traditional medical books or doctors. Instead, my discoveries were rooted in natural approaches and therapies. I’ve since named these discoveries “The Universal Keys to Health”. And if you or a loved one are living with cancer, or you want to cancer-proof your life, then I want to share these “Universal Keys to Health” with you.
I’ve created the Templeton Wellness Foundation to bring you breakthrough strategies, tools, and inspiration to help you beat and prevent cancer. I’m living proof that cancer does not have to be a death sentence. And I’m honored to walk with you on your own healing journey.
“James Templeton is the real deal. Learn from his miracle mindset and fight for your life.”

I Used To Have Cancer
#1 Amazon Bestseller!
I Used to Have Cancer is James Templeton’s memoir—an inspiring look back at his unique journey in overcoming stage 4 melanoma. James shares the various natural approaches he followed to battle his cancer—from diet and supplements to meditation and lifestyle adjustments. You will see first-hand how James’ definition of success changed from making money to seeing the next sunrise. And how he continues finding success by reaching out to others to share the lessons he has learned. It’s an inspiring story of not giving up when all other avenues of conventional medicine fail. It’s about taking control of your life and finding a way back from the brink of death. It’s about being able to tell your friends, “I used to have cancer.”
James recommends this anti-fungal diet from Lee Cowden, M.D. for detox and fighting cancer.
