Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I don't think there is any hard and fast rule here. I do believe that Dr. Issels is correct for certain situations. In my opinion, if the tumor can be removed efficiently or the tumor has the possibility of causing concerns with an organ then removing it is probability a good option. I do believe that there are times that the tumor should be left alone especially if conventional treatment is going to be followed. I had the tumor removed from my colon and a resection performed. The alternative doc that I interned under taught me that it is much easier cleaning up the blood after tumor removal than dealing with a tumor. Not always, but most of the time. This is presuming that the clean-up will be accomplished by using natural medicine, not conventional. He had a tremendous amount of experience with cancer using alternative methods and treating the whole person. In my case, it has worked. But I don't for one minute think it was ONLY my choice of tumor removal that helped me to get well - but instead the synergistic effect of using a lot of different modalities. It is important to remember that every person is unique (conventional medicine totally misses this concept) and while cancer is cancer, dealing with it effectively with natural medicine means that the whole person must be taken into consideration. Cleansing & detoxification, healthy diet, pure water, clean air, exercise, sunshine, natural supplementation, lymphatic drainage and one of the most important - dealing with emotional issues such as anger, negative emotions, victim mentality, past hurts, etc. I have seen people do everything correctly and compliantly, except that they would not deal with their emotions or their past hurts and the result was that they did not get well. I have said this before and will continue to emphasize the importance of taking the time to effectively deal with emotions. If you think that you don't need to bother with this - then you probably need it the most. ) And because we are each so unique, I believe that we all have a toxic threshold that is unique to us. In other words my threshold may be 500,000 and Uncle Harry who smoked, drank, never exercised and consumed all his foods fried may have a toxic threshold of 900,000. Thus I may develop disease or health concerns much earlier in life than he does because my threshold is so much lower. What produces a lower threshold? Being exposed to higher levels of toxins at an earlier age - even in the womb. This is possibly one reason that we are seeing people younger and younger presenting disease that used to only be seen in much older people. These toxins come from food, air, water, negative emotions, media, environmental, etc. Certainly " how " we take care of ourselves plays into this, but I think it has more to do with our personal toxic threshold. Something to think about. Be Well Loretta ______________________ Dr Issels urged the removal of the tumor so as to give the immune system less to deal with.
