Why Hold it In? Release that Hurt, Angry, Narcisstic BITCH!!

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Feeling kinda blue, sad, angry, or just plain bitchy? Psycho-somatic therapy (psyche = mind; soma = body) theorizes that there are psychological and emotional factors involved in both the onset and healing of cancer and other diseases. Meaning there is a direct correlation between what you are feeling (but not releasing – BIG CLUE) and your health challenges.

I was reading about this really awesome medical doctor / cancer surgeon out of Germany, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer and I think this guy is totally on to something.  Dr. Hamer questioned why cancer never seems to systematically spread directly from one organ to the surrounding tissue. It makes sense!

Ok, for example, he never found cancer of the cervix AND the uterus in the same woman. Doc also noticed that all his cancer patients seemed to have something in common: there had been some kind of deep seeded emotional stress crash prior to the onset of their disease. Either it was a divorce, loss of a job, an unresolved argument, abandonment issue, etc.

After having examined 20,000 cancer patients with all types of cancer, Dr. Hamer came up with some revolutionary and very controversial information. X-rays he had taken of the brain of his patients showed in ALL cases a "dark shadow". These dark spots would be in exactly the same place in the brain for the same types of cancer. The body is totally inner-connected!

What I mean by this is that there are nerve endings in the brain that directly correlate to various organs throughout the body. So when your doctor tells you that your stomach issues have nothing to do with your heart or whatever other duality of health concerns you have- KNOW DIFFERENT!!!

Dr. Hamer’s study found there is a 100% (One Hundred… get this please!)correlation between the dark spot in the brain, the location of the cancer and, get this… the specific type of unresolved emotional conflict (ie. Anger, guilt, resentment, grief, etc.).

What Doc is saying is that when we are in a stressful / emotional challenge that is ongoing or even worse, unresolved, the emotional reflex center in the brain sends a message to the corresponding organ in the body. This internal dialog is like if you told a child over and over again that they are bad. Well, that brain / organ communication results in the formation of deformed cells in the tissues: Cancer cells.

This reminds me of the book, Hidden Messages in Water by Dr. Masaru Imoto. If you haven’t read this book or even heard of it, I strongly advise you to pick it up or read about Dr. Imoto’s work on the internet. Here’s a hint… our bodies are made up of more than 70% water.

Also, another great resource on this topic of mind / body (consciousness) connection is the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know. Again… Check it out!

Oh, and one more, Dr. Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life. Another amazing book cover this very same topic of mind / body connection and the emotional correlation of it all.

So anyway, Doc started including psychotherapy as an important part of the healing process and found that when the specific conflict was resolved, the cancer immediately stopped growing at a cellular level! And…the little gremlin dark spot in the brain started to disappear!

Doc’s  X-rays of the brain showed a healing edema around the damaged emotional correlation point as the brain tissue began to repair the afflicted organ.

A similar healing edema could also be seen around the now inactive cancer tissue. Eventually, the cancer would be dealt with by the natural action of the body. Diseased tissue would disappear and normal tissue would then again appear.

Recent research in Germany, Austria, France, USA and Denmark has confirmed Dr. Hamer's findings; that emotional conflicts create cancer, and solving the conflicts in question stops the cancer growth. Bet you haven’t heard a whole lot of talk about this finding, huh?

Well get this…these doctors are using psychotherapy as a major part of the healing process, and they claim a remission rate of 97%! I’ll repeat that slowly:

N I N E T Y – S E V E N   P E R C E N T!

People think that by hiding their sadness and grief behind a brave face, appearing "nice" and avoiding open conflict that they are helping their situation. A lot of people are not even aware of their own emotions, and are therefore not only isolated from other people, but also from themselves.

We all experience "emotional isolation" at some point in time in our lives and then there are those that live in total isolation of revealing what is really going on inside of them. We live in a society where we want to interact with other people in a way we have been brought up to regard as considerate.

There are limits to what we feel we can say and do, censuring ourselves of what we think and feel. Having to change these lifestyle facts does not necessarily mean that we need to go kick the dog, slap that nosey neighbor or key your ex’s car or spend life with a box of Kleenex tissue strapped around our neck. It is a question of how we can change our emotional patterns without creating even greater conflicts for ourselves.

The important thing is begin the healing from the moment of understanding of the emotional hurt. The best and most proactive thing to do is to talk to someone that will listen. If it is a friend, partner, or loved one, let them know that you don’t need to have a back and forth dialog, but you just need to be heard. This can help to break the loneliness from the isolation and the pressure is released from the emotional ties in the brain and organ.

I realize that sometimes you may feel that your burden is too heavy to share with others or you may not feel comfortable with allowing your vulnerability to show. Find a support group that focuses on talk therapy as well as incorporates some kind of emotional healing techniques, like love or healing circles, so that the charge from everyone else’s emotion is not stagnate, but released.

We need each other – we really do! We were not put here on this earth to be super man or super woman and toll through this life alone. Remember what the big guy said, “Where two or more are gathered in my name…”

If you see / know that someone is hurting, reach out to them. Have compassion and serve from your heart. There is no higher calling in this life than the calling to serve.

I love you. Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

Ok, time to fluff my hair and get out the door. Where’s my DiVa shades??

See you on the other side of greatness ;-)

THIS CHEMOTHERAPY THING HAS ME PISSED OFF!!

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

When I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and given the prognosis of 3-6 months my options were surgery followed by chemo, radiation and some kind of drug therapy. At the time, all I knew was that it just did not feel right to me that these were my only options.

My father had prostate cancer and he did everything the doctors told him to do and he let them do anything / everything they wanted to do to him, and for what? I watched my father suffer painfully through it all and loose the battle as he laid before me a mere skeletal shadow of what he once was.

I don’t trust doctors. I have yet to go to a doctor and not walk out with a little white notepad of paper for some wonder drug they think will cure what ails me.

When my doctor told me of my options for the cervical cancer, he never mentioned to me the various options within the options he offered. Never!

When it comes to cancer, doctors offer what is considered, Standard of Care. Basically, it is a cookie cutter answer to dealing with all cancers. Did you know that there are various forms of chemotherapy? Yeah, exactly! Neither did I! I was not told. I had to research this on my own!

Adriamycin, Toxotere and Cytoxan are just three of many. Adriamycin however is the most popular of the chemotherapy offered for Standard of Care and it is confirmed and documented in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute to be the most ineffective in up to 92% of women to whom it was offered. For women (and men) that are choosing chemotherapy for breast cancer, this particular drug has potentially very serious cardiac side effects.

Why can’t cancer be treated naturally? Why can’t we be given more choices? Why put a person through so much physical pain and mental / emotional anguish? Why not be given a choice? Why? Because there is profit in it. People of chosen ignorance are nothing more than guinea pigs for the medical industry. I say chosen ignorance because with all of the information readily available at one’s fingertips the less one sets out to find the truth the less likely the survival. Ignorance is a choice just like APPLIED knowledge.

There are numerous doctors around this country – the USA, that are making tremendous strides in cancer therapies – WITHOUT CHEMICALS.

Check this out, when you go to the doctor with say a nasty cold or flu, they will do a sensitivity test to see which antibiotics would best work for you. Did you know that the same can be done for cancer? Now if you ask your doctor, he/she will say it is ineffective. Crazy, right? They won’t do it because it is time consuming, which for them is not cost effective. The economics are “Let’s keep the assembly line going and herd though as many of the chosen ignorant as possible so we can maximize our profits.”

If you were to survey 100 doctors, 90 of them, if diagnosed with cancer would not take chemotherapy or radiation. Surprised? Don't be.

Farah Fawcett (Charle’s Angels) died of anal cancer. After going through two courses of excruciating, debilitating, immune-system-ruining chemotherapy, only to have the cancer return in 3 months, Farah went to Germany to have chemosensitivity test done. It was there she found out that the chemotherapy she was given in the USA was completely ineffective!

Begin to ask questions. Question everything when it comes to the health of you and your family. READ THE FREKIN SIDE EFFECTS of your therapy / drugs / etc. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!

One of my favorite sites to visit is www.CancerTudor.com. Chuck full of information to apply to your daily life… BEFORE YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.

Take Control!!

Hmmmm... that feel's better. OK, stepping down and away from the soapbox now.

See you on the other side of greatness!
