I have put off writing about the psychological components of alternative cancer therapies because I've actually worked with very few cancer patients. All my work involves relieving stress of some kind. Cancer patients have plenty of it. Carcinoma is the most prevalent form and accounts for about 85% of cancers. Certainly as an alternative cancer therapy the mind should be considered.
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.
I am in touch with an alternative cancer therapy group getting most cancer people into remission. It is not always necessary to go there and consultation is free. Medications generally are not. It is non-profit.
Example from my friend there: "I received an e-mail today from a woman in New Zealand whose cervical cancer I turned around. She is deliriously happy. She was looking forward to having children and now she can."
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 an ongoing worrisome situation in your immediate family.
I RELIEVE STRESSES AS I WOULD FOR DEPRESSION
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.
5. Strife within the family circle including lovers.
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)
NEW INFORMATION ON CANCER CAUSES
Below is a website where the doctor in Germany was getting about 95% cures if the patient is not too far gone. A woman I talked to doing this therapy in the USA, says she gets about an 80% holding or cure rate. She spends about a half hour on the phone with a patient, as I do.
NOTE WELL: Not everybody tells the total truth about their cure rates. Almost all therapies have some successes. There are negative reports about Dr. Hamer's work, mostly because he urged the patient to let nature take its course, and the patient died. He does warn that the healing phase can cause tumors as the body encapsulates the cancer.I'm sure there were lots of successes, far more than conventional treatment provides. You have to judge for yourself what to do. I don't think it's wise to rely on one therapy alone.
CAUSE OF CANCER
The cancer is discovered about 2 years after a sudden psychological shock that devastates you. Dr. Carl Simonton wrote about that and I attended his workshop maybe 15 years ago. It was very elementary light hypnosis. Dr. Hamer agrees with the traumatic cause and tries to resolve the old conflict in the patient's mind. If you've had night sweats, it may already be resolved.
The upset is usually connected to someone very close to you, often an unexpected death or broken relationship, a parting in some way. For breast cancer in women suspect a severe shock involving your mother, your child (sometimes a beloved pet), a mate. Something that shocked you so much you couldn't sleep, lost appetite, cold hands and feet developed. The shock remains unresolved in your mind. If you remember back to it, you can feel the unpleasant feelings. Oddly, resolution of the inner conflict can result in profuse perspiring, and sometimes the flu. You may have passed thru that stage called the resolution stage, where you have resolved the conflict or the trauma (a good sign), but sometimes edema occurs and a tumor is formed as the body tries to encapsulate the damage. It is new to me so I don't pretend to know much about it.
I know this: I am very good at taking out the bad effects of old trauma. I have exercises below to do just that.
This type of thing can be done at any time concurrently with other therapy. However, if the cancer is too far advanced, it may not be possible to make it work. I have not found severe trauma in all cancer patients I've worked with. My personal view is to try everything that doesn't make you worse. <
ON-LINE MESSAGES TO DISCONNECT YOU FROM EMOTIONAL TRAUMA This method is called "Waking Hypnosis" There is no trance. You just listen. It is simply a message saying that when I sound a buzzer and say "DISCONNECT" it will disconnect you emotionally from the trauma. The problem is in the locked-in emotions of the past. My message tries to release you emotionally from that upsetting experience, disconnect you from the upsetting emotions from a particular trauma or person you may have in mind. Download and follow the instruction that will come up when you are finished.
About a 3 minute download. Not an .exe file, but wma (voice). Only works with Internet Explorer. You have to have the Media Player. IE will prompt you if you need it. If you have the player, click the message you want. If you see an hour glass, it's loading and will soon play if you have a sound card that works and your speakers turned on.
Disconnect the emotional upset you experienced when you were first told you had cancer.
Disconnect from the biggest incident to cause you to lose self esteem (how you feel about yourself).
Disconnect you from the emotional upset of your mother's death.
Disconnect you from the emotional upset of your child's death.
Disconnect from the biggest upset of your life.
NOTE: These exercises take a big part of the locked-in upsetting emotions away. They have no effect on the memory or the good feelings and experiences you had with the person.
You can write me if you wish. Loren Parks
BOTTOM LINEAs of late April, 2003, I have done psychotherapy on a number of cancer patients. One was completely cured of brain and lung cancer plus shingles controlled. However, she had other intervention as well, so I cannot claim credit.
With respect to the others, they have felt a lot better, like a load taken off their shoulders. But the cancer did not go away.
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. 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.
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.
I asked a Mexican doctor who is pretty successful with cancer, relatively speaking, about providing a guaranteed cure. He said a big problem is that some people just will not continue to take the medications he prescribes. I know he gets a lot of his medications from Germany, and they aren't cheap but they seem to work for some. He is probably one of the better, more sincere doctors.
Dr. Matthias Rath claims a lot of cures using readily available components, namely lysine, proline and vitamin C as ascorbate and palmitate. He uses a lot, like 6 to 10 grams daily of lysine (cheap) and similar amounts of Vitamin C. It stops the spread, which is the problem. And for many, the cancer has disappeared. I recommend you go to some of his several websites and study what he says thoroughly. http://www.dr-rath-research.org/home/index.php
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 get answers. 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
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), artemether.
My chemist friend says nobody who has been chelated properly has developed cancer. He thought it was Wm. Regelson, M.D. who discovered that. Dr. Regelson is very active in the alternative medicine field, especially with hormones. You can find doctors who do intravenous chelation (faster but more expensive than oral chelation) in most states. They use EDTA, which does not take out mercury, but takes out lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. Actually, I don't believe it is understood just what EDTA chelation does. Probably takes out good and bad minerals. You have to replace the good ones. I believe this is the single best treatment for heart disease (plugged coronary arteries). It appears that people who have heart disease don't have cancer, and vice versa. Just an observation.
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 dopppler 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.
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.
Side effects can be some diarrhea 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.
It is common for the Mexican cancer clinics to do intravenous chelation with their therapies. 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.
Effective cancer therapy using IP-6 from your health food store
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 at www.psychresearch.com.
Dealing with pain: A doctor I visited in Valencia, Spain, has a very interesting website. He is a vascular surgeon but does obstetrics and other surgeries as well. On his own, he developed a method of eliminating pain during surgery--with no anesthetic. Since 1974 all his surgeries have been without anesthetic, the patient fully alert. He told me he has had no post-operative complications. You may find his website very interesting--English and Spanish versions. http://www.dr.escudero.com You have to swipe it and do a control C to copy it as it doesn't blueline.
Without doubt the best alternative cancer treatment website is http://www.cancertutor.com/. I urge you to go there.
