Olivia praised husband John Easterling for helping to make her healthy
TO HER dying day, brave Olivia NewtonJohn refused to believe cancer would finally beat her — and wouldn’t allow anyone around her to say it, either! Insiders close to the heroic 73-yearold actress — who miraculously fought off three bouts with the deadly disease over the course of three decades — say the Grease golden girl was hopelessly devoted to positive thinking!
“She literally banished all negative talk about her condition,” snitches an insider. “She refused to believe the cancer was getting worse, right up until the end.”
Sweet Olivia outlasted all predictions that she would perish years ago and finally succumbed Aug. 8, a full five years after her stage 4 diagnosis — and this was AFTER surviving two other cancer diagnoses in 1992 and 2013.
“Olivia vowed she wasn’t going to allow herself to be defeated by this disease and pursued every possible avenue to make sure she lived as long and as well as possible,” spills a source close to the Magic music-maker. As The National ENQUIRER previously reported, Olivia beat the odds with photon radiation and herbal therapies. A year after her 2017 diagnosis, the Xanadu beauty gleefully told an audience at a comeback concert, “I feel grateful for my life,” and praised hubby and herbal health mogul John Easterling for his support — and for the homegrown marijuana she legally used to ease her pain.
“I’m feeling great and I’m happy to be here,” she explained. “I was lucky enough to marry a man who is known as Amazon John. He spent time in the Amazon [jungle] finding things to make us all healthy and he certainly made me healthy, so I’m grateful for that.”
She even dedicated her song Not Gonna Give Into It to her health battle, saying the tune represented her determination to survive.
“I wrote this song 25 years ago after my first journey with breast cancer and it still gets me through it,” she said. Although her pursuit of alternative treatments and positive thinking couldn’t save her forever, she never lost her will to fight, according to sources.
“Olivia believed she would somehow miraculously be saved,” says a source, who notes in the months leading up to her death she continued to “focus on a vision” of complete wellness.
“She literally envisioned that she was cancer-free, and Olivia believed that at the very least, it brought her extra time on this Earth.”
