STRESS RELIEF

I have put off writing about the psychological components of cancer because I've actually worked with very few cancer patients. All my work involves relieving stress of some kind. Cancer patients have plenty of stress. Carcinoma is the most prevalent form and accounts for about 85% of cancers.

Here are some high points for now, as this page is going to take a long time to develop into a more comprehensive page. Keep in mind I am not medically trained. I am only providing information and it may not be good information for you. Seek professional advice.

I want to discuss first the stresses that I believe can play an active role in some types of cancer. Keep in mind that there are many, many different types of cancer. Some are relatively easy to cure (skin cancer) and some are very difficult to deal with and successes are few and far between. Those include cancers involving nerves (like brain cancers), the pancreas, and small cell lung cancers. This is what I hear, and I have no medical background.

There is an interesting website correlating emotional upsets with cancer and claiming that when you get the patient to go back to the stress situation you suspect and get it resolved, the cancer goes away. I cannot vouch for it from personal experience but similar things have been in the literature for many years. They allude to upsets and frustrations with family, lovers, job, death of a loved one, not being able to lead the life you want due to family or other restraints. I know how to do most of this therapy very simply, all free. I just haven't yet had but a few opportunities to try it (inoperable breast cancer), which was successful. Update: May 11, 2002. I just did stress relief on 3 women with left breast cancer. Two had mother problems. The other I don't know. If you or a loved one has breast cancer and had a lot of stress involving the mother, child or husband, I urge you to contact me. I do not treat cancer. I relieve emotional stresses from the past that are hanging on, by phone. If you have feelings of hopelessness, please write me. All I do is free. My personal view is to try everything that doesn't make you worse.

I think that at the root of all successful psychotherapy is an attitude change. Many people just won't give up their guilt or anger. You really have to realize that to hold those emotions can only cause you harm. They belong in the past. Put them there and leave them there. Live for the future. Do the best you can, even when things look bad. Remember about the cloud with the silver lining. I've had those severe upsets, which later turned out to be blessings in disguise. Maybe that will happen to you.

I remember when I was ferrying people to the Philippines for "psychic surgery". On the way back, one elderly lady said "Just think. If I hadn't gotten cancer I wouldn't have gotten to see the Philippines." I always made sure they had a wonderful vacation along with their treatments.

Dr. Alfred Barrios, a psychologist in Los Angeles, has had some cures of cancer by psychological means. His website.

POSSIBLE STRESSES MAKING CANCER HARDER TO TREAT:

1. When a person is first told he has cancer, it can create a severe emotional reaction--a negative one. That emotion can stick in your subconscious and, I believe as do some others, it can have a negative influence on the outcome.

2. When any woman suffers from depression and/or cancer, the first question I ask is "Have you had an abortion?" The reason is that there can be guilt locked into the subconscious that is affecting the person's immune system or emotional state negatively. This in spite of their view that they've gotten over it. There is a "disconnect" message for this on my website.

3. Someone close to you has or has died of cancer--even a pet. It is upsetting, or was.

4. You think cancer runs in your family.

5. You have feelings of hopelessness, or being trapped.

I RELIEVE STRESSES AS I WOULD FOR DEPRESSION, PHOBIAS, ALLERGIES

When I work with a depressed person, I try to relieve all the upsetting incidents in his life that I can find (or that he will admit to). That includes the following:

1. Parents' acceptance of the child. "Did your mother love you?"

2. Parents favoring a brother or sister.

3. A brother or sister being mean to the subject.

3. Early pet deaths.

4. Early love affairs gone bad.

6. Death or alienation of a child or family member.

7. Sentencing by a therapist or physician. (You'll be on drugs the rest of your life)

8. Guilt you feel, from anything. It causes depression, probably depression of the immune system.

ALTERNATIVE NUTRITION HELP There are a number of newsgroups, most of which will be full of misinformation. However, gems do crop up now and then. These from people who've actually been cured or are in a stabilized state (remission) and believe they know what they did to cause that to happen.

You must realize that with cancer, there have been lots of spontaneous remissions. That means they got well for unknown reasons. My guess is that most of that is dietary or psychological--something has changed in the person's life or he has developed a different attitude. Religious cures (placebo) fall into that category. There is no better cure than the placebo, properly administered, for many so-called physical illnesses. I witnessed lots of that in the Philippines, but it happens everywhere to some extent. And that includes a burning desire to conquer the cancer and live.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL HELP

I firmly believe that some alternative methods, not permitted legally in the USA, can work very well in some cases. However, I also believe there are lots of crooks out there selling worthless remedies and advertising them highly. There are some Mexican Clinics that charge outrageous prices and have a very low cure rate. There are clinics in the Bahamas (I know nothing about them).

Not all these doctors in foreign countries near us are bandits. But they can't cure or put into remission everyone who walks in the door. Some of them do well to help 10% of their patients, often at great expense. They may be sincere in trying, but the result may not be there and the costs are.

DEALING WITH YOUR DOCTOR

If you find you have cancer, know that you have the right to ask any doctor (and write it down in front of him) if he has experience with your type of cancer, and if so, what his success rate is. Is he merely prolonging life at great expense and suffering or is he making life worth living for you? Get right down to business and ask and write down crucial questions and have somebody there with you to witness and help write down his responses. The second time one goes thru chemo is the treatment with very low survival. Ask him. They act like it's a mop-up operation, but it's usually the end for the patient.

Would he use this treatment on a member of his own family, or for himself? Some cancer specialists do refer their own family members to alternative therapists--I know of that happening, a mother and a sister in law. Some patients, upon being given a death sentence, have moved into other cultures with different life styles and nutrition, and recovered.

It is most likely the American diet and life style that results in cancer, something that was very rare around 1900. Of course tuberculosis was killing lots of people then. Remember, the doctors are dying of cancer as well. It's pretty clear they don't have the answers.

ALTERNATIVE METHODS & NUTRITION

You'll find some of them at www.drrath.com (he's in Holland), and other medical sites. Some remedies touted (I have no personal experience) are Flor Essence (Essiac), Jason Winters Tea, Cantron, MGN-3, Poly MVA (Dr. Stephen Sinatra uses it), IP-6 (Dr. Shamsuddin), Beta 1,3 D Glucan (don't get ripped off by hype)Check Chisholm Labs, hydrogen peroxide (careful!), Coenzyme Q-10 (breast), massive intravenous Vitamin C (several grams),Protocel.

PARP-1 inhibitors If you are serious about stopping cancer, I don't mean cure, but stopping from spreading so you feel better, you might search on the internet for PARP inhibitors. PARP is the shortened name of an enzyme that is essential for cancer to spread. There are inhibitors of this enzyme which seems to stop cancer, diabetes, psoriasis from spreading. A weak PARP inhibitor readily available is Niacinamide (Nicotinamide) and probably any niacin form. Look up Dr. Abraham Hoffer and cancer on the internet. He used niacinamide to bring about some cures. Generally, you have to keep taking it so it's not a cure. But it may stop the spread. He used 1,000 mg plus the same of Vitamin C. Probably more is better and I take it as a preventive without ill effect. I'm not qualified to advise, but it's safe and if you're desperate I would try more. Do some research.

Dr. Rath of Holland (formerly Germany) is a leader in alternative treatments. Here is a reference to his cancer testimonials. His whole site bears exploring. He's as good as anyone in my opinion.
http://eu.dr-rath.com/menue/testimonials/uk/testimonials_08.htm

I fund a free alternative clinic in the San Diego area, getting some people into remission IF they follow the suggested protocol. Some are required to go across to Mexico for treatment, which generally is not free but much less expensive than some Mexican clinics.

It is not always necessary to go there. Consultation is free. Medications generally are not. It is non-profit. >Here is something I wrote for the cancercured@yahoo.com newsgroup.

The chelation of lead and other stuff can be done inexpensively. I am no doctor. What I did is buy a small amount (100 grams) of disodium EDTA at a laboratory supply house here in Portland, OR (Nurnberg). It is made by "The Science Alliance" of Humble, Texas and it is relatively cheap and should be available in any large city or by mail.

I have a gram scale. I take 2 1/2 grams on an empty stomach early morning with fruit juice and eat nothing for an hour or so. One-half level teaspoon is 2.6 grams, close enough. I would not exceed that as I have no clinical data on the consequences of a larger dose.

In the mid sixties an M.D. in the Kansas City area was using this amount with patients and he invited me to come and see them and study them using doppler ultrasound where appropriate (he was a customer--I make doppler ultrasound diagnostic equipment). They had all gotten dramatic results--recovery from stroke, relief from chest pain (angina) and the most remarkable, an elderly man whose leg had been dark blue from blocked vessels had a shiny pink leg with a wide open posterior tibial artery (the main one). I was amazed.

The doctor (no longer in practice) showed me the newspaper clippings about a soap manufacturer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who took it for his heart problem and was giving it to friends who were helped. I think the clippings came from the fifties.

IP-6 is a readily available non-toxic chelating agent. Jarrow's brand is the cheapest. Empty stomach ingestion. All chelating agents can take out good metals as well as bad, so after you've taken the chelator you want to put back chromium,zinc and magnesium. Take magnesium malate or citrate until stools pass easily and keep at that leve.

Many thousands of people have been chelated using the intravenous technique for at least the last 30 years. I have had that (once) and 2.5 grams was used over a 3 hour period. 1 drop per second. I believe intravenous use is mostly turf protection. It works orally too--maybe not as efficiently but at far less cost and inconvenience. Expect to go for 30 treatments at about $100 each if you go this route, and you'll spend about 3 hours of your time each session.

I have a bottle sold commercially by a website for oral EDTA chelation and it has only 0.126 grams of EDTA and a bunch of minerals. That's an exceedingly small amount and I don't think combining minerals at the same time is the way to go. Hours later is OK, and that's what the doctor I knew did. Also he had them take it about 4 or 5 times a week as I recall.

EDTA is water soluble but slow to dissolve. It is ok to heat some water to make it go into solution more quickly. If you just put it in juice and stir and drink, you'll likely see a white powder in the bottom of the glass. It just didn't all dissolve, so you aren't getting all of it. I scoop with a spoon or add water and swirl it until I get it all down. I put the powder in my mouth and use the juice or water to get it into my stomach.

Side effects can be some diarrhea (didn't do that to me)and the doctor told me it can unknit healed bone fractures and potentially dissolve gallstones, causing them to break loose and lodge in a bile duct. I don't consider this too much risk. Cancer patients are mostly constipated anyway, so I read. EDTA is used in small amounts as a preservative in some foods and blood. You will see it on the package label.

It is common for the Mexican cancer clinics to do intravenous chelation with their therapies. My contact there says patients do better who are chelated. Also experience shows that people who've been chelated don't develop cancer (Wm.Regelson, M.D. of DHEA fame). There should be info on that somewhere within the American Academy of Alternative Medicine.

EDTA is great for removing lead and likely calcium or iron in the wrong places. Removal of mercury is very questionable.

USE OF IODINE AND THYROID HORMONE AGAINST CANCER
Use of iodine and thyroid in cancer

Ray Peat, PhD, is a well-respected biochemist. He is very much against using unsaturated oils such as used in salad dressings (liquid at room temperature). He favors coconut oil, even lard as I recall. I remember a study done at Wadsworth VA Hospital in California 20 years ago where they were giving relatively high amounts of unsaturated oils to prevent heart attacks. So many people were coming down with cancer they had to stop the study. A number of men over 100 years old on the island of Crete (Greece) were interviewed about their dietary habits. A number of them took a shot glass full of olive oil every morning (a monounsaturate). Here is a link to a good discussion by Dr. Peat and Dr. Mercola:
Coconut oil and immune system

BEST BETS FOR SURVIVAL AND RECOVERY FROM CANCER FROM MY PRESENT VIEWPOINT: Stop using liquid oils (except olive oil) and luncheon meats, hot dogs, MARGARINES and anything that says "Partially Hydrogenated" on the label. Polyunsaturates depress thyroid function and the immune system. The flaxseed oil and cottage cheese combination is the exception. Get coconut oil (on the web) for cooking or as an additive to food.

If you've had severely upsetting things happen (deaths especially), get the stress relieved from links on my site or contact me. www.psychresearch.com I may be gone a couple of weeks at a time.

Mental Normalcy: (From a patent on MSM, which is quite cheap.)
In man, mental normalcy is demonstrated by alertness with inner calmness which is not subject to sharp swings in mood change. Individuals on methylsulfonylmethane generally reported increased alertness, a plateau of mood changes, and particularly very infrequent depression. A few subjects on medication intermittently for depresseion observed that methylsulfonylmethane relieved depression within hours rather than days, as had been their prior experience with antidepression medication. Students reported that while taking methylsulfonylmethane, their ability to concentrate is enhanced. Methylsulfonylmethane therefore is useful in conjunction with CNS therapeutants. The most useful application for methylsulfonylmethane seen to date in the field of mental normalizing is as an aid to the terminally ill, to relieve anxiety and depression. To a chronically or terminally ill patient suffering from mental depression, administer 1000 mg/kg body weight of methylsulfonylmethane daily, in tablet or capsule form, dissolved in water or a cold beverage, or admixed in a cold food. Within 12 hours to 2 days, a significant improvement in the mental attitude of the patient will be noted.

Again, I am no doctor. The method I use may be contraindicated for some. Get professional advice.

NEWSGROUPS

cancercured-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
FlaxSeedOil2-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (Budwig Diet -Flaxseed oil and cottage cheese)

These are two I subscribe to, but there are many others from yahoo groups, like prostate, breast, non-Hodgkins lymphoma (nhl@yahoogroups.com). Another thing you can do to get the voice of the people (maybe some spam) is do a search at www.googlegroups.com. This is a compilation of all the newsgroups from way back and you can type in what you're looking for, like "cancer, breast". Leave out the quotation marks.

So this is the beginning of this page, Dec. 19, 2001. I am putting articles from a 1935 publication on the use of Hydrochloric Acid Therapy for cancer. I will have voice messages on later, trying to help you get rid of past emotional upsets. I believe emotions can play a significant part in cancer. Some voice messages are already on my websites or the automated telephone therapy. If you are blaming yourself, even partly, for the death of a loved one, I urge you to write to me so I can work with you by phone. GUILT can be devastating to your mind and body, and I can relieve that in most cases. You'll feel a lot better and likely your body will function better. All free. My contribution to society.

Telephone message deleting hopelessness: Be relaxed and in a quiet place to listen to this message. (503) 848-8827. At the voice press 47 rather quickly together. Just listen. 3 minute message, all free.
