Cancer is not a Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism (Book Excerpts)

Friday, February 01, 2008 by: s Moritz

(NaturalNews)....[Excerpts of article]...Unless we change our perception of what

cancer really is, it will continue to resist treatment, particularly the most

" advanced " methods.

In case you consciously or unconsciously choose negligence or self-abuse over

loving attention and self-respect, your body will likely end up having to fight

for its life.

Cancer is but one of the many ways the body tries to change the way you see and

treat yourself, including your body. This inevitably brings up the subject of

spiritual health, which plays at least as important a role in cancer as physical

and emotional reasons do.

What kills a cancer patient is not the tumor, but the numerous reasons behind

cell mutation and tumor growth...Constant conflicts, guilt and shame, for

example, can easily paralyze the body's most basic functions, and lead to the

growth of a cancerous tumor.

After having seen thousands of cancer patients over a period of three

decades, I began to recognize a certain pattern of thinking, believing and

feeling that was common to most of them. To be more specific, I have yet to meet

a cancer patient who does not feel burdened by some poor self-image, unresolved

conflict and worries, or past emotional trauma that still lingers in his/her

subconscious. Cancer, the physical disease, cannot occur unless there is a

strong undercurrent of emotional uneasiness and deep-seated frustration.

Cancer patients typically suffer from lack of self-respect or

worthiness, and often have what I call an " unfinished business " in their

life......

February 2, 2008

Well, I have yet to meet a person who does not have some of the same issues as

described below! And though I am aware that negative thinking is bad for health

generally, it seems to me that the way this is being described below puts the

blame on the person with the cancer. Not very helpful. It probably comes from

that same idiotic line of thinking used by the German doctor listed on Mercola's

site who explains the occurrence of autism in a child by the mother feeling

depressed during pregnancy or some other crap.

So, I guess my dog who died young of cancer had a lot of deep emotional trauma,

probably stemming from her puppyhood. I never knew she had a negative self-image

but as she died at the age of 5 of cancer....well, it just goes to show that the

outward wagging of the tail cannot hide the depressed doggy within.

I have no doubt that a positive outlook is important to our general well-being,

but you cannot ward off cancer by holding a good thought.

Emotional issues is just one factor.

It may be very big issue for some.

Hi, Marti.

Your viewpoint is, in my opinion, a common mistake many people make

when someone tries to broach the subject of how

emotions/baggage/psychological factors contribute to the onset of,

and the healing from, cancer.

Those psychological/emotional factors too often get avoided precisely

for the reason you have given, and also because such factors appear

more slippery, nebulous and fearsome than does a bowl of muesli, a

bottle of selenium or a multi-colored salad.

I assure you it is not an " idiotic line of thinking, " though I agree

with you that cancer and other dis-eases do not have but one cause.

Cancer does not happen solely because of poor diet, or solely because

of fungus, nor does it happen solely because of emotional trauma or

emotional baggage.

There is an excellent book, one of the very best there is, about

healing from cancer, titled " Cancer As A Turning Point, " written by

one of the few psychologists worth his salt, Lawrence LeShan. The

book can be bought very cheaply at amazon.com or it can be gotten

from the library. It is beautifully written, not dry at all, yet it

makes an umistakable and hard to argue point: that addressing

possible emotional/psycholgicial factors when trying to heal from

cancer is every bit as important as addressing the physical ones.

Here is a very quick summation of the book: In the 1950's, LeShan

managed, after trying over and over again, to get himself admitted to

a large " cancer hospital, " where he was permitted to meet and talk

with only the very worst, most terminal people. He found that when he

was able to get them to open up and speak with him about what their

hopes, fears and aspirations had been in life before they were

diagnosed with the cancer, and IF he was able to " restart their

creative fires, " or to help them untangle emotional knots into which

they and others had tied themselves, that many of those people went

into long-term remissions, and some of them went into remission for

so long they were considered cured.

Think about that: LeShan accomplished that with people who were

receiving or had received the crudest, earliest mainstream treatment,

who were almost certainly eating terribly unhealthful hospital food,

who were very likely not exercising, who were likely not getting

sunlight or fresh air, and who were not taking any supplements or

vitamins.

For those reasons, LeShan's work showed me, beyond a shadow of any

doubt, that addressing emotional/psychological factors is crucial in

order to heal from cancer.

There is no reason at all, Marti, to attach guilt to the process of

examining what was happening emotionally/psychologically before

cancer, and what is happening presently in the life of someone with

cancer. I can liken it to, for instance, losing one's car keys: One

realizes one has misplaced them, and one searches for them until one

finds them. One can, if one so chooses, beat oneself up while

searching for the keys---call oneself an idiot, tell oneself one is

worthless, etc. But what one generally does is simply to find the

keys, and if one wants not to lose them again, one puts a hook on the

wall by the door and makes sure always to hang them on that hook

after using them.

Certainly the examination of one's psyche is not as painless as

searching for one's car keys, but it can be undertaken without

blaming oneself. It needs to be viewed as necessary detective work.

(Proponents of such work might even say doing such work is more

necessary than getting a biopsy!)The changes one makes during and

subsequent to such detective work almost invariably make the living

of life significantly more vibrant and enjoyable.

I have done a good deal of such work on myself, and I certainly

consider that work to have contributed significantly to my 18-year

remission from lymphoma. But a wonderful, added benefit of that work

has been that the second half of my life is turning out to be far

more wonderful than was the first half, when I was laboring under all

manner of emotional/psychological difficulties.

Please know that the work can be done without the negativity you

suppose will be attached to it.

I do believe the work is best done with the aid of a professional,

someone who can view things with an unprejudiced, unfearfula and

practiced eye. But know that one does NOT have to hire someone

expensive. In fact, I have found that social workers are oftentimes

better to work with than high-paid psychiatrists or psychologists

because SW's are more practical and down-to-earth than many

PhD's/MD's.

Best wishes and best of health,

Elliot

I forgot to add the web address of the " Cancer As A Turning Point "

organization: http://www.cancerasaturningpoint.org/about.htm

At that site, one can learn more about the psychological/emotional

aspects of healing from cancer, and can contact either of two people

who have been working with and carrying on Lawrence LeShan's work as he

may be in his late 80's by now. I believe he is still conducting

workshops, etc. But it is an excellent thing that there are great

people continuing his wonderful work. I met with Ruth Bolletino, one of

those people, many times at her office in New York in the 1990's, when

the cancer was still active. She is a wise and delightful woman.

Best wishes,

Elliot

Hi Barb:

I have read that stress and emotions play a big role in cancer. Can you expand a

bit on your treatment. I know at least of two women who treated their breast

cancer successfully using natural means.

Subject: [ ] Cancer is not a Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism

Â

What an excellent article!

I had ER and PR positive stage 3 IDC breast cancer. 3 months and one week

ago I had a lumpectomy and lymph node dissection. Researching and

holistically treating myself mentally, physically and spiritually (with

great help from this list I might add!) became my " job " . I refused further

surgery, all chemicals, chemo and radiation.

Last week my natural doctor's quantum biofeedback Life System machine said

100% for cancer and 100% for my lymph system, meaning any cancer in my

system was now undetectable.

I've never felt better in my adult life thanks to whole body natural healing

which has become my new and permanent way of life.

I've just found this article and it embodies exactly what I felt about my

own cancer from the beginning. I said " I don't have cancer, I have a kick

in the a**. Truly a much needed wake up call for me.

Hi Vic,

I will expand on my treatment, be happy to. I'm off for the weekend though,

so I'll do it Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Vic, Hi Everyone,

As promised here's the run-down (below) on how I've treated myself (with

good help) for breast cancer.

I would say that the most important thing I've done is stay positive,

realize from the start that my body created cancer based on mental,

spiritual and physical factors for the last " x " years and so my body could

also get rid of the cancer. Every living person has cancer cells in their

body every day and we normally heal ourselves in the course of time if we

live properly.

A big part of my healing was looking very closely at what I had been

repressing in my life and what had been making me unhappy without doing

anything about it. It was key for me to change if I wanted to be wholly

well. When diagnosed I knew in my soul that I didn't have " cancer " , I had a

kick in the pants. I have done those things and I feel like I did as a

little girl. alive, vibrant, and full of energy.

All of my changes are changes for life and I actually consider myself a very

lucky gal to have had this very serious and life changing experience.

In a total of 4 months (almost to the day) since initial diagnoses I have

had a new diagnosis of " cancer 100% non-detectable " and " lymph system 100%

clear " via quantum bio-feedback. In two weeks, when I return from vacation,

I will order the new cancer blood test discussed on this list a while ago.

Here are the physical treatment details that I've documented carefully:

I'm female. I'm 49. I'm 5'10 " . My adult weight has been 130 - 135lbs

consistently & I've always been fit, healthy and active.

For the last 20 years I've taken daily: Multivitamin, vit E or Omega 3,6,9,vit

C,

For the last 10 years, I've added daily: 1000u coral calcium, Maca root or

ginseng

In April 2010 I started seeing a TCM for elbow acupuncture and on the 6th she

put me on a Chinese herbal liver cleanse tea daily

May 19, 2010 I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

June 17, 2010, ultrasound guided lumpectomy (right breast) and partial lymph

node dissection. IDC breast cancer, ER and PR positive, Stage 3

Since the end of May, I drink ONLY re-mineralized, de-ionized water. I have

been getting 8 to 10 servings of organic fruits and vegetables daily, and

sticking to a strict " cancer foods " diet, avoiding foods with natural

estrogens and eating foods daily that block estrogen. I eat by the Budwig

Protocol every single morning. My diet is 85% vegan with a SMALL amount of

organic chicken or wild-caught fish 5x a week & a little red meat only 1-2

times per month. I completely avoid any kind of sugar or sweetener, in any

amount. Overall, my diet is 95% dairy free and 80% gluten free. I make sure

I get the juice of 1/2 an organic lemon daily for alkalinity and exercise

daily to keep my blood oxygen levels high.I replaced all my wireless bras

with non-wireless as soon as I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

As of August I started having the occasional glass of organic red wine once

or twice a week.

From the beginning I've seen a professional Traditional chinese Medicine

Doctor for acupuncture once a week and get daily Chinese herbal teas for

liver and lymph system support.

Since July 26, 2010 I have seen an accredited Natural Doctor weekly. I also

see another practitioner in his offices weekly for acupuncture and energy

healing work. I also see occasional other energy workers for reiki and

natural healings

Since mid-September I have had weekly lymph specialist massages and will

continue to visit monthly for maintenance.

All of my supplements are natural. Most supplements I take are either " Now " ,

" Natural Factors " or " Enzymatic " Brands. For a breakdown of what most of my

supplements do for breast cancer, visit http://www.howcurecancer.com/

After very careful research and several meetings with traditional oncology

specialists, I said " NO " to further lymph node surgery, radiation, chemo and

tamoxifen. I wish I had known at the time not to have the core needle biopsy

before surgery too!

Much love and thanks to all of you who've supported me through this first

part of my journey.

Barbara

October 4, 2010

What is bio-feedback to show 98% clear for cancer ? What kind of test is

it? How accurate?
