About Us
Green Street Goods is collectively Jane, Jace and Loran Van Benthusen. We live in downtown Lees Summit Missouri on Green St. and have been eating a high raw diet for about three years now. In January of 2008 Jane was diagnosed with stage 2B cervical/uterine cancer, and was told that it was inoperable. The only options that the doctors would give her was radiation and chemotherapy.
After a fair amount of research we decided not to follow the oncologists advice. They told her that she would not last through the year without their treatments. But we decided to take matters into our own hands and thus began our health journey. We began juicing and having green smoothies. We also cut out meat and dairy. Then we began experimenting with various raw food recipes and developed quite a few of our own. We also did literally hundreds of natural treatments and detoxifying practices.
It has now been almost 3 years since her diagnosis, she is cancer free and healthier than she has ever been. A great side-effect of getting healthy is the loss of extra weight, Jane lost 80 pounds and is now the size she was in high school.
So now we are trying to return our knowledge and our gratitude to our community by teaching classes about how to incorporate more delicious living foods and natural rhythms into our diets.
