Cancer

Dear JOY. Your website says you specialize in hopeless cases, I have cancer, I’ve done chemo and radiation, I’ve tried alternative therapy. The doctors say it’s incurable. What do you say? Is there hope for me?

Dear Laurie, I believe incurable means curable only from within.

I became a holistic health practitioner after the western medical profession gave up on me. Frankly if I’d died every time they said I was going to, I’d be in and out of the grave like a yoyo.

I have learned that disease, or any imbalance in the body must be treated holistically in order for complete healing to take effect. Body, mind and spirit need to be treated simultaneously. If the physical symptoms of an imbalance are surgically removed or suppressed with drugs, and the emotional cause is never addressed, then the symptoms will inevitably return.

Check out Louise Hay’s books if you haven’t already, especially ‘Cancer; your healing power’. Tom will have them in The Bookstore in Plaza Caracol. The surgeons did what they could do for her, but she was considered terminal. They gave her just a few short months to get her things in order. She has been helping other heal their terminal cancers for decades now. She is one of my sheros, her pioneering work in cancer and in tracking physical imbalances to emotional causes is fascinating and transformational.

Louise discovered that cancer was caused by resentment when her resentment over childhood sexual abuse grew until it formed a vaginal cancer that began eating away at her body.

Because different emotions live in different parts of the body you can often tell what the resentment is around by where it is located in the body.

For many, what she has to say is very controversial, but what she has her patients do works greater than 50% of the time and all the chemotherapy in the world cannot make that claim.

Going within to address hidden resentments works when chemotherapy doesn't. If you want to take control of your life and your health, this sort of therapy is powerful medicine.

How many women with breast cancer spend their entire lives nurturing everyone except themselves? Even if you don’t believe in the body mind connection the statistics are compelling. Taking responsibility for your cancer means you can begin to do something about curing it from within.

My specialty is Psychoneuroimmunology – how the way we think affects our health and well being. I have found that with cancer patients, and every other disease, recovery rate is directly related to the choice to take responsibility for healing, and to make different choices about lifestyles and thought patterns.

This doesn’t mean you asked for cancer, no one asks for cancer, but let's take a look at how we can cause ourselves to get sick.

What we think affects our immune system. This is a very simple concept that has been substantiated by our science. At Harvard Medical School, researchers discovered receptors on our immune system cells for brain chemicals. Our thoughts create our brain chemicals. Good thoughts improve our immune system and negative thoughts suppress our immune system. According to the Harvard research, this entire process is biochemical.

We are responsible for what we put into our bodies Laurie, for what we eat and drink. We are responsible for many of the toxins in our lives. We are responsible for our toxic thoughts.Choosing to detoxify our lives is a big step in healing.
