Alternative Treatment Options for Cancer

Checklist For Patients with Cancer

In our "scientific" world, people have been taught to believe that disease is physical. In fact, by historical measures, such concepts are almost wholly without support. The notion that disease is physical gained momentum with advances in germ "warfare" -- but modern psychoimmunology and similar approaches to understanding what really makes the body what it is support some of the subtle factors that influence wellness. In my many years of involvement in health and healing, I remain convinced that those who practice (or employ) physical measures alone in treating people affect -- at most -- 20% of the outcome of disease.

Simply put, a doctor (or a salve) may remove a tumor; but if the patient binges on foods that are contraindicated for cancer patients, the nutrients for promoting tumor growth will almost certainly result in recurrence of the tumor.

Likewise, if the patient remains unhappy in his or her job or personal life, the immune system will not function well and the malignant cells that remain in the body will probably cause mischief. Getting every single malignant cell with any treatment is virtually impossible to guarantee. The O. Carl Simonton has reported that patients who like their jobs and are happily partnered live at least twice as long after diagnosis as those who are unhappy.

Simply put, a therapy that does not shift the underlying causes of cancer on both a physical and psychospiritual level is not a complete therapy. A practitioner, however, skilled has almost no impact much less control over what goes on outside their own offices.

Smart and motivated patients are therefore advised to explore their deeper causes issues before considering their treatment complete. As a service to patients, I compiled a list of points that ought to be addressed by those committed to total recovery. I plan to come out with a cassette elaboration of these points in the next weeks. Anti-cancer herbs or herbal formulae These are products that address the probable systemic nature of the disease. Each one has advocates based on historic -- and mostly anecdotal experience. No formula can be guaranteed to work for everyone. Patients need to find the one that gives the best result and to use some objective standard for measuring that success. All the products contain at least one herb with some known anti-cancer properties. Some formulae contain several such herbs. Patients should attempt to find the one that offers the best results.

Some products should only be used short-term; others can be used for prolonged periods of time.

There is no consensus as to whether cancer is a local or systemic disease, but the fact that the tumor is highly toxic suggests the need for blood and liver detoxification. There are many products of an herbal nature that assist this cleansing. When successfully carried out, patients will feel more vital, clearer, and radiant. Those with grayish casts to their skin should appear more normal; those who suffer from apathy and disorientation (easily lost) should focus better; and those who are irritable and angry should feel more emotionally balanced and poised.

Lymphatic cleansing and stimulation
Lymphatic congestion is a big problem with most cancer patients. Undigested food, dead cells, and other debris have to be carried off by the lymphatic system. Thickened and sluggish lymph results in swelling and discomfort.

Phytolacca Syrup Cancer Drops (an Eli Jones formula)
Red Blood/Oxygenation

Many cancer patients have poor oxygenation of their blood. Low hemoglobin counts, clumped red blood cells, and infected blood can affect oxygenation, vitality, and health.

Blood boosting herbs are therefore helpful for many, in not most people.

White blood cells have to devour the debris. When the body is effectively fighting cancer, there is die off that the white blood cells have to eat. Immunity can be boosted by right choice of products that increase the effectiveness of white blood cells. In dark field microscope examination of live blood cells, it becomes immediately clear that active white blood cells are what "clean" the red blood cells and enable them to function properly. "Killing disease" is thus more a matter of boosting the activity of the immune cells than of poisoning the body with chemicals with a supposed preference for cancer cells.

In some schools of thought, cancer is a disease of slow metabolism. When the body does not produce enough enzymes, hydrochloric acid, bile, etc. to digest food, there has to be a wiser choice of easier to digest food and/or some supplementation of gastric secretions. Spices when used in the cooking process (not sprinkled on top of food after it is cooked) make food easier to digest and stimulate the flow of saliva and gastric juices. When food is bland, other strategies are necessary, such as enzymes or one of the other products mentioned below.

Elimination

Proper internal hygiene is as important as external hygiene. Good elimination and abundant friendly bacteria in the lower intestine are crucial to good health.

Turmeric Vermicide (if indicated)
Clove oil in Flax seed oil

The liver has hundreds of tasks of perform, including detoxification of the blood. A sluggish liver means fatigue and toxemia. Studies show that thistle protects the liver from damage caused by carcinogens as well as cytotoxic drugs. Other herbs promote liver regeneration and happiness. There is no joy with a sick liver!

Regeneration
In the East, rejuvenative of longevity therapies have an ancient tradition. There are tonics for increasing stamina and for regenerating tissues that are worn out. There are also simple supplementation possibilities for those who are deficient in one or more nutrient. For instance, radiation leeches trace minerals from the body. Replacement of these minerals is essential for strong bones and teeth, fingernails, hair, skin, and even blood.

Every disease has certain characteristics so that those who develop cancer can be said to differ from those who have schizophrenia. Some diseases are almost mutually exclusive and some are not. For instance, diabetics may and often do develop cancer. Where a handful of conditions occur simultaneously, there is a pattern that if transformed will eliminate the predisposition to that disease. So, if a lack of spontaneity, emotional repression, and feeling of being the victim of circumstances color one's personality, therapies that shift these conditions are likely to relieve the blockages that aggravate the tendency towards cancer. Moreover, people will feel better when they develop more skill in handling their life situations.

Spiritual In my experience, spontaneous remissions occur when patients have insights that transform their understanding of their lives. They literally get a new lease on life. Permanent cure thus entails the discovery of the "magic" that makes life meaningful. As I reflect on all the people I have known who have been truly cured, not people who have survived or experienced long remissions but people who are really free of cancer, I see that all are functioning at a higher level of insight and creativity than before their illness. Many achieved their breakthroughs "suddenly" as a result of what might be called "divine intervention or revelation," others achieved this gradually through spiritual practices that raised their focus from, to quote another author, "the mundane to the magnificent." I personally believe that there is a transcendental aspect to these quantum shifts of consciousness and that the focus entails a shift from overabsorption in the self to a greater level of selflessness.
