The stuff nobody tells you about Cancer


There is a lot of stuff out there on the internet about Cancer - so many natural remedies and possibilities for a cure - which was an eye-opener in itself, but the most important thing I have learnt about Cancer is this: 

Cancer doesn't just have a physical root, it has an emotional root. For example: something you can't get past, someone you can't forgive, emotions that you can't let go of ... something of that nature.  If you can get to the root and release the emotional cause then you should be able to get rid of the disease - it can even clear up on its own. BUT if you can't let go or can't process your 'stuck emotions' (for lack of a technical term) then forget medical help, forget natural remedies, forget Journey Therapy and forget a miracle healing. It will do absolutely no good at all - well as far as the end result goes anyway.

This is what has been shown to me this year -  in glorious technicolour: If you really can't get past your 'stuff' then you have booked your ticket out of here.  If, however, you are able to shift your perspective or come to terms with what's been (probably literally) eating away at you then you have a chance.

I used to do 'spiritual healing' years ago.  I stopped, however, not because it didn't work, although I never went up against anything like Cancer, but because it became clear to me that there was no point. It seemed to me I was healing physical symptoms but not the root cause of those symptoms. 

I've always known there was something deeper - not just a random physical complaint and unless you address that something deeper then you can heal the symptoms but it'll just pop back up again later! Very frustrating.. yet this is what Cancer does. The people who have some part of the body cut out and then, having removed the cancer in that part of the body it seems to 'jump' to another part.  This, in my view, is because the emotional cause of the problem has not been addressed.

All illnesses are symbolic of something. Our body is trying to attract our attention to something. Sometimes people can't let go of whatever it is that has become stuck - sometimes literally - such as oesophageal cancer when in some cases there are things you want to say but they become 'stuck' in the throat and are never expressed. I'm not judging. Some of the best people I know couldn't 'get past' their stuff'.  But I think knowledge is power and being aware of this factor in curing the disease and aware of the fact there may be something you have buried - sometimes so deep you are not aware what it is - gives people an advantage in the fight against the disease.

When I say 'fight against the disease' - I think it really is a fight against - or hopefully 'with' - yourself. But the more awareness there is, the better chance everyone has. Why NOT try everything? And that includes the natural remedies although you need to do your research. 

For example - Essaic Tea - sounds wonderful but when you look into the ingredients in the tea, you find that one of them has the effect of making the tumour bigger in the first instance, before it shrinks. Now, depending on where that tumour is then it could be quite dangerous!

Same goes with bicarbonate of soda. A 'big gun' in the Cancer world and has some miraculous results from what I've read, but because it is salt it needs caution in dealing with people on medication or with heart problems. Always take the medication into account. Sometimes you have to take a risk but that is down to the individual - it being 'their life' and all...!

One more important fact about the Bicarbonate of Soda route - you can't use it if you have Ascites. It doesn't help the fluid situation - so should be avoided. :(

But there are tons of other natural remedies the drug companies don't want you to know about. In fact if you look you will find a list of all these on one of the Cancer sites and by each one it will say "no evidence to support it's effectiveness" - or something similar. Don't let that put you off. Do your research, and if you try it and it works - spread the word!

I don't advocate that there is any one treatment that is best - no one size fits all! Everyone is an individual and so will react better or worse to certain things. Same with Journey Therapy - a powerful Cancer fighter - but not everyone is able to express emotionally in the way it requires - and it very much depends on how much you are prepared to, and able to release. So again, not a miracle cure for the masses - but can work miracles in some cases.

There are a lot of good books out there about natural remedies for Cancer - and a lot of info on the internet as well - but here are some tasters in case you are interested in researching it further.

Ovarian Cancer - Ginger (and you can't take too much of it as it's not toxic) Ginger will cause either cancer cell suicide or cancer cell -starts-eating-its-nextdoorneighbour-cide. Yay!!

Prostate Cancer - Same.

Colon Cancer - grape seed extract (available over the internet) and the great thing is.. the more advanced the cancer is, the less of the stuff you need.

The Alkaline diet: Cancer cells are dormant at ph 7.4 and dead at ph 8.0.  So.. time to start chomping on the leafy green veg, especially broccoli, almond milk is good (almonds are very alkaline), also lemon juice which amazingly despite being acidic, contains limonoids which are cancer fighters plus vitamin C which is another cancer fighter and the salvestrols yet another!-  and found in all fruit and veg - although found in significantly higher quantities in organic fruit and veg. So..organic lemon juice is a good idea!

Bicarbonate of Soda (plus molasses/maple syrup) The 'Trojan Horse' cure where the cancer cells eat up all the lovely sugar that they're so desperate for and then croak because they also accidentally chomped down on the Bicarb which will help to change the ph from acid to alkaline and  is also an antifungal. 

Some theories say Cancer is a fungus and that is why the Bicarb is so powerful. Not sure if that is right, but the bicarb works anyway. Take that cancer cells! Just use with caution - see above re other medication etc.

Other more well-known remedies or 'protocols' are: Vitamin C injections, B17 (laetrile) from apricol kernels - releases cyanide ONLY on contact with cancer cells. (er - win win?!) but watch the side effect of lower blood pressure - another reason for doing your research. 

There are many 'healing therapies' such as the more well known Journey Therapy (see the book "The Journey" by Brandon Bayes). This book is a technique for processing and clearing your emotional stuff - and there are some wonderful techniques - such as the 'campfire' technique which is good on its own when you want to address your problems with another person.  Then there is Matrix Energetics, Spiritual healing, Kinesiology... the list goes on. But bottom line is: SORT YOUR STUFF OR LET IT GO... or you won't live to tell the tale.  

Sad but true. And kind of makes sense if you think about it.  Not to the sceptics of course, people who don't even recognize the link between emotions and the physical body - yikes! - don't fancy their chances.. but then what can you do? You can't help everyone - that's the hardest thing to accept - but you don't really have a choice. The individual has the choice. All I can do is present the information and let people help themselves - or not.

Where am I now?

Apart from in the doodoo...?

Well we're in 2015 so we've technically left the horrors of 2014 behind. I've been left slightly stunned I have to say - at the number of times life can hit you round the head with a brick and just keep on going.  Whatever depths you think you have sunk to in your life... there is always a worse place you can be. 

I think it would be fair to say that I've now reached my 'assentotic value' (as my mum would say) for shit and that the guy with the shovel needs to stick it where the sun don't shine! A word of warning by the way - NEVER say (to said chap with shovel) -  "Got any more?!" Because he has, believe me, he has - and he's listening. So don't be tempted.

Of course there is always something useful to be gained from going through hell. For example, I've learnt a whole load more about Cancer - see next post!

But I've also learnt that you CAN face your worst nightmares and live to tell the tale.  I don't actually advise it however. Avoid it if you can!! But as someone said to me recently:  "Things may not be as black as you think". Hold onto that... it may well be true!! I don't mean it won't be horrendous... just not quite as terrible as you imagined...

Then there's the bonus of having your worst fears come true so you don't have to live your life dreading what might happen, cos HEY it already happened!  Got to take your silver linings where you can find them!

Then there's the great truth I learnt... Silence please for the great truth:

The saying "life never gives you more than you can handle"  is complete and utter bullshit! Life doesn't give a shit whether you can handle it or not. It's up to you to get on with it - or crumble. Either way, life is fine with the outcome. However, I think I know where this saying comes from - or why it does. Fact is if you really can't cope with it, your mind will shut it out.  Result!

Mind you it's not that easy - but I understand now why mental patients rock, mumble and twitch. They're trying to block stuff out.  And why people have panic attacks and why lights seem too bright and why there are too many people, and too many things trying to grab your attention.

The best idea is to hole up where there are no people and no demands and no bright lights. But who has that opportunity? Unfortunately not me. Bummer. But give the mind time and it'll block enough stuff out so you can just about cope. For how long I don't know... I'll get back to you on that.

I've also learnt how versatile the human psyche is. You can be utterly drained one minute,  no hope, no energy, no motivation and you don't give a shit what happens; the next, you can be two fingers to the world and hellbent on achieving something you want even if you know you can only limp towards the goal.

And despite everything, if somebody important needs something and the dregs at the bottom of the barrel were used up months ago, it's amazing how you can find the energy to rise up one more time - or however many times it needs - to help them out. Try and stop me - and I know the shovel guy is listening - and I DON'T give a damn!
