Healing Cancer: A Free Choice

In the words of Bill Henderson, Cancer is survivable. It doesn’t matter what stage or type of cancer. All cancer patients can overcome it and live out their normal lifespan. People who commit to this believe achieve healing.

Cancer is all about HEALING and here are a few important facts you should know before you get practical:

• HEALING is a free choice that only YOU make. It sounds crazy to say such thing. Who wouldn’t choose healing when one is sick? The fact is that when you truly know your options is when the choosing becomes difficult, really difficult. There is not just one technique to heal, there are many. The same type of cancer in two different people will require different approaches. There is not a single treatment that takes care of everybody’s disease; otherwise cancer would have been cured a long time ago. Everybody will tell you what’s best for you but nobody can make the choice except you. And you better be as informed as possible. The reality is that today’s medicine has become a political field and that’s a fact. It serves certain interests, it’s not concerned about your healing as it is about its treatment, it does not contemplate integrative or preventative principles, and it ignores advances in nutrition and biology. A failure.

• HEALING comes from within your body, not from outside. NOTHING CURES, it’s your body that heals. It’s very important you understand this. It’s just an adjustment in your perspective. Rather than think this or that will make you 100% cancer free, you should think it will make you more or less cancer hostile. It’s a very important adjustment. It will keep you from wasting time focused on false goals, being attached to made up hopes, and make you weak in the long run. Nobody is 100% cancer free and you better get used to this fact. It’s better to focus on how to make your body as unfriendly to cancer as possible. This is the focus of your fight. You are not curing cancer, you are healing your body, and that’s a HUGE difference. No cancer can be cured; it’s your body that can heal itself. And that’s a completely achievable goal. It’s fairly simple: the more hostile your body becomes to cancer, the faster it will heal from the disease.

• HEALING comes from the things you stop doing, not just the ones you do. When you are sick, you think that by doing a lot of things, taking a lot of things, and undergoing a lot of procedures, your are making progress. You overwhelm yourself with the things you should do and overlook completely the things you can stop doing. Most of the time, you can achieve more success by stopping certain things, than by adding more things to your to do lists. It’s not what you do to your body that creates healing. It’s what you do or stop doing with it that makes the difference.

• HEALING can’t be rushed. It takes time, work, effort, sacrifice, and courage to make changes. Luckily, what you stop doing already creates the proper conditions. There are only two ways you can go: you either do things than promote cancer, or do things that fight it. Concentrate your efforts on doing as many of the latter as possible and really be careful in making risky emotional decisions about what treatment is best for you. Emotional decisions are packed with volatile consequences that will unravel unpredictably sooner or later. Remember, nothing cures your cancer, and that includes surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Your body heals the second you stop doing things that promote cancer. In fact, these treatments will weaken your body instead of healing it. You don’t have to wait for such treatments to begin healing. If you think about healing in terms of a timeline you will prevent yourself from being free of making choices down the road. You will waste precious time, energy, and hope. Way before doing anything, you can begin healing on your own.

• HEALING is about knowledge. There is plenty of information all around you that agrees in general terms on what promotes cancer and what stops it. And it’s not just about eating broccoli or making a certain type of tea. Unfortunately the information is scattered, comes from sources with opposite views, and most importantly, it never comes from general doctor, not even your oncologist. This is what makes things really difficult for people who are sick. It’s not easy to make choices when your doctor doesn’t share them. This is why people on a holistic journey feel the cold shoulder in every situation they face, no matter how successful they are in their healing. It’s not easy, it’s a lot of pressure to bear and it’s easy to give in. The more knowledge you get, the stronger you become.
