Re: A RECONSIDERATION OF MY BELIEFS.

January 6, 2009

Well, , good for you and Congratulations! You have written a chapter

that so many need to hear/read but more importantly need to put into

practice. When I was healing from stage 3 colon cancer in 2001, my doc told

me that he could get me 85% well, but the other 15% was on me because only I

could choose to allow emotional healing to occur! That scared me because I

did not know HOW to get my emotions in check. I panicked because I wondered

if he was throwing me out in the water to sink or swim. Little did I know

that all he wanted from me was a nod of the head that I understood and that

I was ready to meet the challenge. Later that year I was cancer-free. I

don't want to make it sound like it was a walk in the park, because it was

not but it was worth every tear, every book I read and all the other things

that I did to get my emotional being into health and wellness.

Most cancer patients do not want to deal with the emotional aspect because

they KNOW they will have to deal with their inner most being. They KNOW they

will have to get everything out and actually deal with it....all those years

of anger, hurt, resentment, stress, jealousy, blame, etc. They KNOW it will

change them and most people loathe change. But the ones that meet this

challenge are almost always the ones who end up experiencing health &

wellness. I am talking really, really meeting this challenge head-on every

single day....not playing around with it half-heartedly.

Along with total body cleansing, emotions are what I work on with people

FIRST. It is just that important. And many, many times as the physical

body is cleansing, the emotional body begins to cleanse also. Another

reason why physical cleansing is so necessary. Past hurts, resentments and

anger begin to come to the surface and sometimes it can be a bit scary. But

it MUST happen as the physical body can never be totally well while the mind

is still sick. And it usually takes a while so we must not get caught-up in

thinking that one " break-through " means that's all, I'm done. No, No,

No....don't fall into that trap. It's like peeling an onioin, one layer at

a time, emotional hurts are dealt with and healed and those inner-most

layers are the ones that will be the most intense. Stick with it and work

on yourself every single day. Take time for yourself. Ask God for guidance

and help. Learn to laugh, love, sing praises, practice thankfulness, dance

and enjoy every single minute of life. It is so worth the time it takes to

become emotionally well.....I promise that you will look at life like you

never have before.

So much of what you write Loretta has a lot of merit.................then

there's always the 'but' that we sometimes bring up.

Saying that " most " don't want to examine their inner thoughts etc because 'most'

loathe change is one of those absolutes we might want to re-examine. Absolutes

have little place in the alternative field.

It would be more likely that 'most' (another most) simply do not reflect on deep

inner thinking. They simply follow the same course their mothers and fathers

took. They do what they are told by the 'exspurts'. (note my spelling)

'spurts'. When a woman gets breast cancer or a man prostate or bladder cancer

such as me, I wonder how many think on their 'deep inner thoughts'? Rather we

are floundering around trying to find out how to survive. When we stumble upon

this and other sites, then a Loretta might get us to thinking.

Those of us that do study and read what some Loretta writes will give some

thought to the emotional side to our problems but, here it comes again, 'Most'

people do not come across yours and other's writings on the subject. As for

loathing change? You are more likely correct, we are 'comfort'

creatures..............safe in our old habits or so we think. It is probably

more likely we just don't believe the alternative-thinking kooks such as we are.

Anyway, many on this list will think on what you said and perhaps examine their

inner thoughts and emotions and find more relief doing so.

LOL! I hope I get to meet you, Joe C., one day. ) I like your style of

writing and your thought process.

Possibly we should do away with words such as " but " , " can't " , " won't " , " what

if " , etc. In fact, in my training, I was not allowed to use those words if

they were being used in a negative connotation. Like " but it won't work! "

" What if the cancer comes back. " " But I can't eat that way. " All words that

tend to make us believe we will fail before we even try. I was watching The

Biggest Loser tonight and one of the trainers wanted to said " Just shut-up

and DO IT! " I giggled because I know that's exactly the way my doc felt at

times when dealing with my constant what ifs, buts, can'ts, etc.

Joe, I really hope I can get people to think. Because someone got me to

" think. " When I say that my life changed 180 degrees, I mean that. It

needed to change and there were times when I fought it tooth-n-nail. But I

was blessed with encouragers in my life who refused to allow me to have pity

parties or to dwell on the negative. I don't easily gravitate to " change " ,

it's not my nature. But I have found that it is necessary so that

stagnation doesn't have a chance to take hold.

So much of our thinking needs to change. I have learned and continue to

learn that things are usualy not as they " seem " and we carry around a lot of

learned thinking that is just not true. In fact, it keeps us sick.

Most likely the path that is the least trodden has the most answers.

Be Well

I agree that emotional healing is a factor. but you were stage III

colon cancer, and about 50-60 perent of stage III colon cancer

are cured by surgery alone...did you undergo surgery?

Conventional oncology cannot distinguish between more " benign "

cancer subtype and aggressive subtype...and the same toxic treatment

is offered to all patients.

But tumor biology matters a lot, is different from person to person,

from cancer to cancer, from subtype to subtype..
