new alternative medicine

I do almost all holistic and I only pay half a mind to his stuff--it seems a bit over-sensationalized and I don't like the fact that it will do much to turn public opinion against holistic b/c it gets hopes up too high and sounds too overwrought. I guess my main concern is that it makes it sound as if a cancer patient does just one of the tx he recommends, then their cancer will just magically melt away. I didn't watch all of the videos--maybe half of them--but I don't remember him saying much about emotional and spiritual healing, which is probably 90% of it. The fact is that holistic healing is a journey and it can take years to heal or one may heal but still carry the evidence (tumor) for the next 20 or more years--or in some rare cases it can just magically go away as quickly as overnight--I know someone that happened to--she had advanced stage IV. My cousin is still walking around with a 25 yo (at least) brain tumor--it was considered inoperable and he was sent home to die but he is alive and well and raising his young son--a boy with down's syndrome.

Also, I probably missed the part where Ty surely says that holistic works in a different way from conventional. You don't just substitute herbal supplements for pills and IV vit C for chemo--the body must be brought into balance and attention must be paid to all other systems. I was shocked to realize that once my holistic MD had a look at my breast tumor he never looked at it again or even asked about it--instead he'd say that my liver is out of balance and I need to do more of those liver/gallbladder flushes that I'd been putting off. The main bulk of my tx was dental work and chelation therapy to get mercury and lead out of my body--I think that had at least a passing mention in the films. It's more than just diet/exercise and popping some extra supplements--you have to work on everything that's out of balance and for me, it turned out that my emotional problems that had been plaguing me all my life were crucial to work on and I feel so much better that I've even learned to be grateful for the BC. And in the last month I finally got around to starting that meditation practice that I'd been putting off b/c it is so hard for me! The tumor decreased by half shortly after I started it and then I went to a conference last week and discovered a new sensation--I was remembering people's names! I'm terrible at that and suddenly I felt like a politician lol. I don't know which I like better--the boost to brain power or the shrinkage of the tumor, but I'll take both thank you.

Oh and back to Ty: he does some good as well so this is not all negative. He brings hope to people that there is another way and introduces you to folks who've done it. He brings your attn to some therapies that are not well known and cancer docs who are well known in the alt community but not to the public in general. He challenges the "everyone knows" pov that keeps everyone stuck in the idea that there is only one paradigm of healing. In fact there is only one but it's not what people think. Abigail, can you guess what it is? Anyone else? I'll check back.

I tried to watch the video series but I lost interest half way through. It was too long. I'm sure it contained useful information, but my main complaint is similar to what is stated above: It was too much work to sort the good info from the bad because of exaggerated claims and overstated evidence. Ironic, given the title.

I've been on their email list for quite some time and they also really abuse the privilege with promotional emails. They sent too many before the re-airing of the videos, but during it they were sending 4 or 5 emails per day. I unsubscribed.

Yep Timothy I agree.
