Complimentary therapies and Success with Cancer
Hi all,
My name is Michael, im a Biomedical Science student at the University of Adelaide. I had osteosracmoa (bone cancer) that had spread to the lungs in 2007.
There are a wide variety of options for curing cancer using complimentary/alternative treatments. What i talk about here i 100% reccommend to anyone, whether you want to use this in conjucntion with chemo, radiotherpay etc, or if your in the postion where chemo cant be used because your cancer has advanced there is still plenty of hope! Either way every person should use natural therapies to help ones body rid of cancer/cope with effeect of chemo etc. Generally natural therapies are much much more effective than surgery, chemotherpay and radiotherpy. However as there is little or no financial gain to be made in the natural therpies as a result of not being able to patent naturally occuring chemicals, there isnt any attention by pharmaceutical companies in selling and endorsing these. So the multi billion dollar 20,000 a bag of chemo industry is much more "researched" and advertised to doctors etc.
Essentailly this means the research and decision making into what treatments you want must be made by yourself when wanting to know about natural therapies. However there are many books that have compiled these different options into logical, well thought out formats to make this easy to sort through!!! One must note that the nautral treatments ahve many many testamonials and many have reseatch aswell.
Books i reccommend include the following:
How to Outsmart your Cancer by tanya H Pierce
How to Escape the Death Row Cancer Jail By Barry Thomson
How to Conquer Cancer by Ian gawler
How to fight prostate cnacer and win By Ron Gellately
Meditation Live By Ian Gawler
Essentailly there are three pillars that need to be catered for in your battle against cancer naturally. Each book i listed above has a different focus on these three aspects which are; The mind/body conncection, nutrition, natural therapies. In your journey into helping you body cure cancer one must address each of these areas.
Mind body connection- Deep seeded emotional issues, past childhood events that have been stored away and emotions that have been stored away can and probably will stop or hinder any healing. I have seen people whom have not responded to natural treatment or had cancer reoccur becase of this. these need to be sorted, tehy msut be sorted to allow the body to rid of cancer!!!!! there are many books at the moment that descirbe the cancer personality and nearly all cancer paitetns will fit this peronsllaity profile. this inlcudes, not handling tress well, worrying for tohers wellbeing constantly, have a past chidlhood event that was stored away, etc. These apply esepically if you are younger and have got cancer because the older we are the more our chemical filled envorionments and diets affect our bodies and cause the onset of cancer, however those who are in their twenties, thirties and forties will have other contributing causes that quicken the onset of cancer, suich as mental and emotionally induced stress, all the more reason to sort these isses out asap.
Nutrition- To detoxify, rid of deficiencies in the body so that your body can function at your best, inrease intake of phytochemicals to rid of cancer. All vegetables and fruits contain thousands of phyotchemicals each, not just vitamins and minerals.
Selective plants/nutrients/therpaies targeing cancer - These involve a number of natural therapies that target and kill cancer and are specifically outlined in How to outsmart your cancer, and how to escape the death row cancer jail books, and How to fight prsotate cacner and win, of which i have listed above.
Note: Ian gawler, is a fmous cancer survivor whom overcame bone cancer that spread throughout his body some 25 years ago or more, naturally. He had his leg amputated and had a couple of rounds of chemo but stopped this as his cancer wasn't treatable. I asked my oncoclogist about him and he (my oncologist) worked at hospital at the time when Ian was diagnosed and when he recovered. He can not to this day understand how this fellows tumours disappeared. Ian Galwer runs a foundation in melbourne to this day and is one of austrlia's most formiddable cancer survivors.
Ian gawler used meditation, positive thinking/peer support (the mind) , and nutrition to overcome his cancer. This is without the use of the thrid pillar of natural medicine, which ahs develeoped alot recently, the selective therapies that target cancer! So we have an extra weapon in the kitty to use more than he had at the time.
Dont forget,
Essentially Meditation/Clearing stored emotions/Negative self notions, Nutrition and Selective Natural Therpies are the three best ways to beat cancer.
BE WELL and god Bless,
Thanks, Mike

Ian Gawler is very good, but his main method is meditation, a natural organic diet and looking at our emotional issues. The book I like best is "Surviving Cancer" edited by Paul Kraus and each chapter is written by a person who has used the meditation / visualisation/ nutrition / mind / hope / faith (or spiritual) method used by Gawler to overcome terminal cancer. Many used the standard treatments first but realised their only hope of living beyond their prognosis was to add complementary methods. Most have been NED for 5 or more years and each uses their real name and refers to personal details such as their work place or region where they live. Paul Kraus includes his own story; he has currently survived extensive peritoneal mesothelioma which was diagnosed in 1997. These miracles are all anecdotal but very personal stories from people who should be long dead.
Chapter two is written by a doctor who found she had metastatic breast cancer around 1991 and was NED and retired at the time she wrote the chapter, 15 years after the diagnosis. She became a champion for natural healing and looked back in regret at the lost opportunities she had to heal her cancer patients instead of following her colleagues blindly.
Another woman had BC with mets to the ribs which took 3 years to be cleared on the scans and she had survived for 24 years when she wrote her chapter.
The other contributors have had all sorts of cancers, including several brain cancers plus pancreatic, lung, melanoma, ovarian, colon, prostate, ovarian, bladder, and only one that I noticed that was not metastatic, inoperable or in some other way terminal.
What amazes me is how some of them became NED against all the odds but then regressed years later, only to repeat their original regime and again become NED for years. So the effect of their natural methods are repeatable, it wasn't just a coincidence that they healed at the same time they did their natural protocol.
This book is my main inspiration and soother on my bad days and sits dog-eared by my bedside. It's the hope part of my healing equation.

This looks like a good book to look at, thanks for posting it.

THANK YOU Merillee for bumping !!!
-
I believe we need any and all remedies for this journey. Conventional, spiritual, intellectual, nutrition, exercise, and sister hood can all work in synergy for our best interest. It is not one camp or the other for me, it is both with full canons while blasting this nasty, sneaky little bastard called cancer out of my body.

Thank you, Sheila, for the recommendation! I will definitely look into it.
