If you notice in these days, instead of talking about the alternative medication on cancer, I always write about the relationship between the mind and body for healing. As I said yesterday,if you want to cure cancer, then you body must get medication to reduce the pain and support your immune system for your healing. But the understand the relationship of mind and body connection also vital for your healing purposes. Having right mind set is essential and an important contributing factor during your healing proses. Without right mind set, then your body either reject the medication or its just being absorbed into your body without any benefit that you might get.

Today, I want to write about anger and how to control the negative force of anger from killing you. I get this useful information from one book Vernon Coleman’s book on ‘Mindpower- how to use your mind to heal your body’.

1) Accept the fact that you, like everyone else will get angry from time to time

2) Learn to recognize when you are heading towards a confrontation and if possible, avoid stressful situation.

3) If you feel angry and you believe that your anger is justified, don’t suppress it all - let it out.

4) If you feel anger building inside you and you feel tempted to get rid of it in some physical way, follow your natural instincts as far as possible.

These are what was being advice by him. But in my personal knowledges on NLP, I suggest you for no (4) you do the opposite because sometimes anger will cause you to do beyond your normal self. If you really feel the anger that is beyond your control, notice the tones of your voice and your physical expression. If its think your voice too high and its does not sound good, then lower your voice. Notice also your energy level inside your chest, if its too hot there, try to lower it down. If your hand and legs shaking to take strong action like you are going to punch something, try to get comfortable chair and sit. If you totally change your physical state, then your emotional state will follow. You will become calmer and maybe you might even hard to justify why you did angry before this.

But as in no 3), if in certain situation like when your doctor saying something that you dont like, then its fine to express your anger but in proper way. If he tells you that you’ve got three months to live, make it damned clear that you object to his arrogance. If its ruined your relationship with the doctor, its also fine. You also got to find the doctors who can really help you, not making you more miserable.

Laughter is still the best medicine ever. Have you read the famous book ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne? Everywhere on the planet earth talking about this great book. In this blog, I just want to share one part of the book - The Secret To Health.

Not only in The Secret, even before this book comes, lots of books talking about the relationship and connection between the mind and body. How human mind is the biggest factor in the healing effect, even more powerful than any medication. That’s explain the phenomena of miracle healing and the placebo effect.

But, we have to remember that the best solution is by harmonizing the works of wonders of human mind with medication. If the pain is involved, then medication with the help of self hypnosis can help to eliminate and ease the pain. Its a great combination of healing therapy for any disease includes cancer.

The great story that might interest you in The Secret is a personal experience of Cathy Goodman, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. The inspiring story about how she practiced the self healing in 3 months after diagnosed with breast cancer by combining three (3) magnificent powers.

1) The power of gratitude to heal - Everyday she will say to herself, ‘Thank you for my healing’ on and on.

2) The power of faith to receive - She has strong faith that she was already healed and she saw herself as if cancer was never in her body.

3) The power of laughter and joy to dissolve disease in her body - She watch very funny movies to get rid of stress from her life.

That is the great story that you might want to try doing it yourself. Do it now because the wont afford to pay the high price of procrastination.

Today I would like to share an article from Dr. Martin Rossman. Who is him? Let me introduce him to the readers. Dr Martin Rossman has over 35 years of experience in guided imagery for health and he is a nationally-recognized leader and innovator in the field of imagery for self-healing.

He is also the author of two classic books on guided imagery and he founded The Healing Mind in order to make high level instruction in guided imagery for self-healing affordable and accessible. If you want to know about The Healing Mind’s unique self-guided program Fighting Cancer From Within Book and CD Set, and 30 other guided imagery programs, along with research, commentary, and links can be found at this link.

Ok, enough about him - lets read what is the story that he might want to share with us.

The Story

Patricia is a 65 year old wise woman who was diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer 15 years ago. She was already familiar with guided imagery as a vehicle for insight. She used it to ask her unconscious mind for an image that could help her through what she imagined would be a terrible ordeal. She saw herself on skis at the top of a very steep mountain. A lifelong skier, she immediately understood that she was about to push off on a run that would demand all her skill and determination. She also saw that while the effort would challenge her to the extreme, it was clearly possible for her to make it all the way through if she gave it her full attention and focus. She got the sense that when she did make it all the way down, she would be living life on a much deeper and more effective level than she ever had before.

This image was useful to her throughout many twists and turns of her journey with cancer, reminding her to stay focused on where she wanted to go and not let herself get lost in her fears. Patricia did “make it”, and she counts guided imagery as one of the tools that enabled her to do so.

When, like Patricia, you are diagnosed with cancer, you can find yourself over-whelmed with emotions at a time when you most need to keep your wits about you. While you are alive, you have hope, and you have options. You have will, imagination, and powerful natural healing abilities within you that you can stimulate by the way you use your mind.

What Is Guided Imagery?

Guided Imagery like the kind Patricia used trains your mind to listen to your body’s wisdom. “Imagery” is simply a flow of thoughts you can see, hear, feel, smell or taste. It is the expression of dreams and daydreams; memories and reminiscence; plans, projections and possibilities. It is the language of the arts, the emotions, and most important, of the deeper self. “Guided imagery” is a process of being lead or “guided” to tune in to your own natural imagery, and to “listen” to the messages and meanings that imagery may reveal about what you need to heal. Guided imagery techniques range from simple visualization and direct imagery-based suggestion, to metaphor, dialogue and story-telling.

Why Use Guided Imagery to Fight Cancer?

The shock, disorientation and anxiety that often come with a serious cancer diagnosis can overwhelm one’s sense of confidence and make it hard for you to feel effective or powerful in a time when you may most need inner strength. Imagery can help you reconnect with your own resources and begin to use them effectively on your own behalf. Guided imagery CDs are easy to use, inexpensive, and have rapid psychological benefits.
Research at the Carnegie-Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh has shown this method to be extremely effective in helping people shift from one mood state to another. Learning to shift from helplessness to hopefulness at will is an empowering experience for anyone, especially for anyone feeling overwhelmed with the fear of cancer. The benefits of imagery are tangible and physical - studies prove that patients who use guided imagery can experience an increase the numbers and aggressiveness of natural killer cells when practiced over time, a reduction in complications from surgery, relief from pain, and can experience a lessening of the adverse effects of chemotherapy.

How Guided Imagery Helps

When diagnosed with cancer, you may not only face an on-going threat to life and well-being, you often also face conflicting recommendations on the part of the best experts in the field and the resulting uncertainty as to the best course of treatment. One use of guided imagery CDs is to help you make good decisions about your treatment. For instance, by using guided imagery to help you imagine a wise and caring figure, called an “inner advisor” or “inner wisdom” that has your best interests at heart, you can make the best possible decisions in a time of stress.

Helene spoke with her inner advisor through imagery after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Because of the type of cancer she had, she had received a number of different treatment recommendations from top level oncologists and surgeons. These ranged from two different types of surgery, choices of approaches to breast reconstruction, radiation and the possibility of adjunctive chemotherapy. She used guided imagery to decide from a “deep level” what treatment course would be best for her.

Using the Fighting Cancer From Within CD and Book Set, Helene was directed to fully relax and imagine herself in a beautiful safe place and to have a conversation with an image of a wise and loving “Inner Advisor.” An angel-like figure came to her mind, large, ethereal yet substantial, and winged. Helene felt a sense of love and wisdom from the advisor and invited it to be comfortable with her. She discussed all the information she had gathered with the advisor and asked it to help guide her to choose the best treatment for her. The advisor seemed to respond in a way that made Helene feel that surgery followed by radiation was the best treatment for her – that it had the best evidence behind it and her own intuition confirmed that it was the course she wanted to choose.

The advisor affirmed that choice and Helene felt surer than she had to that point about her treatment plan. At the end of their dialogue, she thanked the advisor for coming. In response, it enfolded her in its large golden wings and surrounding her with a profound sense of warmth and love. She was very moved.

Helene was clearly relieved to have reached what felt like a good decision for her. But more important to Helene, she found out she was not alone. Even though she was a woman deeply connected to family and friends, she discovered another kind of connection – a profound sense of being part of something that ultimately went beyond life as she knew it.

Guided Imagery can access a kind of wisdom and compassion that can not only help you make good treatment decisions but may also link you to a sense of being feel loved and connected to life, the mystery, and to your spirituality in a very personal and tangible way. This sense of support can help you through adversity and fear.

Guided imagery evokes personally meaningful and relevant imagery that are necessary in holistic cancer care. They range from relaxation and anxiety reduction images to those that stimulate healing responses in the body, to those that mobilize personal strengths and resources in the service of healing. Since imagery is a natural way that the human nervous system codes, stores, processes and accesses information, its uses for someone with cancer are not limited to simple relaxation or immune system stimulation, but also include methods for decision-making, accessing and building emotional strength and experiencing events in ways that are most functional for supporting the healing resources of the individual.

Lack of oxygen in our body is the prime cause of cancer. That statement is made by Dr Otto Warburg in 1966 during the conference of Nobel laureates in Lindau, Germany.

I have read the report on how cancer forming in normal cells due to inadequate supply of oxygen to the membrane cells.Although exercise is one of the way to supply oxygen into our blood vessel, but its not getting inside the membrane cells. This is explained why athlete still get cancer.

So the question is now, how to supply enough oxygen into our cells?

The most effective approach is by consuming oxygen-absorbing entities such as Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). This special fats must be consumed daily because the body can’t manufacture them on its own. Consumption of two primary or “parent” forms of EFAs allow the body to make whatever EFA “derivatives” it needs from them. These two primary forms are parent omega-6, and parent omega-3.

What are the sources of omega-6 and Omega-3?

Since our body cannot make them on our own, so we have to obtain them from our diet.There are few sources of omega-3 fatty acids, mainly the fat of cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, black cod, and bluefish.

There are two critical omega-3 fatty acids, that the body needs. Vegetarian sources, such as walnuts and flaxseeds contain a precursor omega-3 that the body must convert to EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA are the building blocks for hormones that control immune function, blood clotting, and cell growth as well as components of cell membranes.

Hi warriors,

Before I started research on cancer and alternative natural treatments, besides looking for an answer for the cure of cancer for my sister and father, its also as preventive measures for me. During that time, I thought cancer is running in our blood and genetic. After only after I seek for more knowledges and information that cancer is not genetic factor. In 1998, Dr Robert A. Weinberg of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world’s leading cancer researchers has announced that the prime cause of cancer is therefore not genetic.

The finding has been supported with another research by in 2006. The heads of the world’s largest cancer research centre in Houston, Texas, William Brinkley, a senior vice-president at Baylor announced that cancer’s prime cause isn’t genetic.

So, to anyone who has family with cancer, just do not worry you will be the next statistics. Just lead a balance life and keep away from stress to make your immune system stronger and able to kill the cancer cells formed in your body everyday.

Warriors,

I still remember when the hospital asked us to took our father home because of his conditions, we are quite messy at first. The preparation of the room is done last minutes with everything seem scattered. Luckily one of my sister is working as a nurse and she has experience in dealing with patients. But we managed to arrange everything up to his convenient after all. So, today I would like to share with you how to prepare the room for the sick loved one.

1. Make sure to allocate one room at the ground floor of your house for easy accessibility for everyone especially during the emergency.

2. The room should has a good ventilation and if possible ensure the windows always open during the day. This will provides patients with fresher air and better view if he/she want to look outside the house.Its also help him/her to feel more relax.

3. The room must have/easy access to bathroom and toilet. If the patient could not walk, ensure the there are bedpan or diapers available. But make sure the patient choose which way is convenient for him/her.

4. If you have kids - make sure their play area is far from the room. The disturbance from the kids also might increase the stress level of sick person.

5. Remove any unnecessary furnitures or accessories from the room. Give more spaces for the medical equipment if required.

6. If you have pets, do not let them enter the room. Any dusts or furs from pet might cause unexpected side effects to patients.

7. Get a bell or you can also buy a baby monitors. So you do not have to sit by their side all the times or walking back or forth to know what they need.

8. Stick all the emergency phone no on the wall because when you are panic, you might get confused with stored numbers. Or when someone ask you, just pointing at the wall.

There are lots of stuff that you need to learn before deciding to take your loved ones home from the hospital. The preparation not only involved home but also your emotion. The sick person emotions is sometimes unpredictable and might cause stress to you. If you think you need day off, just get an assistant for you. Keep yourself free of stress too…
