Whilst medical science has much to offer, the body itself has a role to play
- and even when science says the end is nigh - sometimes survival happens.



A few real stories of hope:

I live in the UK and went to the Bristol Cancer Help Centre (now renamed
Penny Brohn Centre) on a course - they do provide dietary information along
with spiritual healing, meditation, art therapy, visioning and other tools -
I know that sounds cranky, but I have met sane people who are doing well
against expectations and who believe each of those tools have enabled their
survival. I went to BCHC for dietary advice because Prince Charles is their
patron and therefore I thought they would be benign (as opposed to some who
merely seek to exploit our disease for personal gain)

Alternatively there is the Gerson Diet - or more an approach to cancer
itself - I gather that costs around $40,000 per year but it is a credible
therapy that many believe does have an impact in so many cases

Much cheaper is to subscribe to a new charity here in the UK Canceractive -
I have only recently found their journal 'Icon' but it seems to me to be so
useful - annual subscription here is c $45 p.a. for four issues. I am
actively trying to help them as it is a charity and is giving clear and
consistent messages which conform to my own learnings.

But I would also seriously consider meditation - even if just to try a
session or two. Personally I have found it to have a profound effect -
clearing away unhelpful emotions (anger, rage, grief, STRESS) and replacing
them with positive emotions (joy at the beauty of life, appreciation of the
priority of love, a belief/hope that the mind can induce the body/immune
system to fight the cancer). I do go to a journey therapist - I have been on
one course and attended two more as a volunteer helper. I have seen them in
practice and I would recommend this also

My strategy is to proceed cautiously but with an open mind - and take a few
gambles that might help but that have few costly risks. Who knows?
