CANCER FREE FOR LIFE

DO YOU HAVE A CANCER PERSONALITY, PART II

Last week, I started the first part of this article, on whether there is such a thing as a cancer personality. This week, I invite you to follow me in discovering if

WELL PEOPLE HAVE PARTICULAR SKILLS.

An important predictor of illness is the way in which individuals cope with traumatic experiences. What do successful people from all disciplines have in common? Are there traits and talents that they exhibit that leads to their success and good health?
Research indicates that they do have such traits.

For instance, they all have high self-expectations and a strong belief in themselves. They are visionaries, whether their vision is to win an Olympic gold medal or create a corporation. The belief in what they are setting out to accomplish is clear and unwavering. I have noticed that when it comes to their health challenges, they approach them with the same commitment. Belief and trust in themselves is reflected in the discipline and effectiveness of their healing approaches.

One trait they all have in common is present-time orientation. They live in the present. This releases their mind from all concerns except the one they are facing at that moment. Approaching a specific event without the clutter of background chatter creates a positive and pragmatic mood. They face their health diagnostic with complete focus.

They have a sense of belonging and connection to other people. Social support may be the critical elements distinguishing those who remain healthy from those who become ill. Social support helps to prevent illness by maintaining a mental and physical equilibrium and thereby protecting the immune system. Positive associations, such as a supportive community and close friends and family, have been linked to better health, lower incidence of cancer, reduced risk and incidence of heart disease, and fewer and shorter hospital stays.

A study done in Kyoto, Japan, centered on a small group of survivors from cancers usually considered incurable. The patients all told a similar story. Their reaction to the diagnosis was one of sincere gratitude for whatever life they might have remaining. The patient chose to reinterpret their crises to resolve the issues that led up to them. They were challenged by, and accepted responsibility for their situations. They completely and sincerely committed themselves to the will of God.

The key factor to sustained health in people who are healed is finding a deeper meaning to one’s life, a sense of higher purpose or spiritual values.

What inspires some people to make extraordinary decisions requiring great courage at a time of a personal health crisis? Somehow, a crisis puts some people in touch with a deep inner resource, which in turn empowers them to do more with their lives. They are people who are able to express themselves fully, they know who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to fully display their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. They also know what they want, and how to communicate what they want to others, in order to gain their cooperation and support. And they know how to achieve their goals. They know the importance of a belief system. Norman Cousins, a survivor of cancer, and author of “Anatomy of an Illness” had a confidence that he could determine his life’s direction and successfully overcome challenges as an adult. He had a sense of certainty.

An individual’s reaction to a traumatic event is usually more significant than the event itself. They experience a sense of their ability to control or exert a profound influence over the course and direction of their lives, setting their journey toward personal and professional success in motion.

There are 4 common characteristics among resilient people:

1. An active, evocative approach to solving life’s problems and challenges,
2. A tendency to perceive their experiences constructively despite their pain and suffering,
3. An ability from infancy to gain other people’s positive attention
4. And a strong faith or set of spiritual values as the basis for a vision of a meaningful life.

They manage to believe that life makes sense, that they have some control over their fate. This enables them to love despite hate, and to maintain the ability to behave compassionately toward other people. They have a confidence that things will work out as well as can reasonably be expected and this confidence contributes to their individual belief that he or she can influence the outcome positively.
They have the ability to transcend their short-term trauma by developing a positive attitude about the experience or its long-term consequences. They undergo a profound change in their outlook on life. Instead of a dramatic experience causing a breakdown, it brings forth a breakthrough to a new and deeper appreciation of themselves and others. There is a new born self that comes out of crisis or disease but that experience of renewal can also be self-generated by a decision to transform your life. They choose to believe that they can win over cancer, and immediately start taking control of their life, rather than submitting to the doctor’s orders.
People who are generally happy are generally well. Illness doesn’t cause unhappiness any more than unhappiness causes illnesses. Unhappiness and illnesses are states of minds, reactions to events, and are at once mutually supportive, mutually antagonistic and constantly changing.

Health is not an end. It is a means.

Do You Have A Cancer Personality?

Dr Magne here.

Did you know that cancer is present in our body all the time? You may have heard that cancer cells are healthy cells that ‘go crazy’ or so over-active that they just won’t stop multiplying. If we have a healthy lifestyle, follow a proper diet, exercise and get enough restorative sleep, the immune system will be able to fight the cancer cells before they have a chance to multiply out of control, and cancer will not appear in your body.

However, if your body is weakened, if your life is particularly stressful and you have suffered traumatic events, such as a death, the loss of your job, your spouse or partner or you have had to move location, you should start taking preventive measures to stay healthy before cancer has a chance to grow in your body and defeat all the attempts of the immune system to keep you well.

Cancer researchers are discovering that stressful life events and how we deal with them can have an impact in the onset of cancer.

In Getting well again, J Creighton indicated that in the 18 months preceding the onset of any form of cancer, a significant life event often occurred. This event was traumatic in some way and initiated or promoted the cancer. The death of a loved one can be the immediate circumstance used as the precipitating event. It might just one of a long string of events which have confirmed the decision you made in childhood about what sort of place the world is. If as a child, you decided that sickness was always an option if you became too miserable or lonely, then you may contract cancer when your spouse leaves you.

In “The Healer Within”, Steven Locke and Douglas Colligan quote Laurence LeShan who declared that there was a cancer personality. He suggested that people with certain kinds of personality traits had a higher than average incidence of cancer, which medicine couldn’t explain. Interviews he conducted with hundreds of cancer patients underscored a behavior pattern. Frequently, they were people who were long-suffering, who preferred to repress their hostile feelings, and who were typed with having a low sense of self-worth. And prior to the diagnosis, many had experienced a personal loss such as a death or a divorce.

These individuals perceived that their life circumstances had exceeded their ability to cope, and were beyond their control. It was their subjective experience of the events that had happened to them that weakened their body.

Bereaved people, widowers in particular, become ill more readily than other individuals: they have no control over their loss; they feel helpless and are highly stressed. Their interpretation of their life, as opposed to the event itself, precipitated a weakening in their body.

Martin Seligman and Steven Maier of the University of Pennsylvania made a study of the effects of helplessness and found that it was an acquired behavior. Some people encounter an experience that they feel is more than they can handle. After repeated attempts to cope, usually on their own, they sink in a state of deep despair, and eventually simply give up. They no longer attempt to cope with the challenges and the problems of the environment because they have learned that nothing they do makes a difference.

Joan Borysenko, a research in the field of PsychoNeuroImmunology, finds that these people will be more prone to develop cancer that are rigid, conforming people with an overly critical attitude toward themselves. They also lack satisfactory emotional outlets, and have a habit of bottling up or suppressing anger and other strong emotions. It is a choice that they have made at one stage in their life that they should not show their emotions. For a man, such conditioning as: "Men don’t cry", can be enough to teach them to keep their feelings and emotions hidden to the detriment of their health in the long term.

My father is one of these people who contracted cancer as a result of his attitude. Always emotionally repressed, he never showed an outward signs of sadness or hurt when my mother, his wife of 28 years, left him for a 25 year old man on the eve of my father’s retirement. Eventually though, he developed colon cancer, the colon being a well-known area of the body for elimination. My father was often referred to by his work colleagues as ‘a tight ass’, a chronically repressed personality that kept all his feelings inside. Chronic constipation plagued him all his life as he refused to ‘let go’ and tried to maintain an absolute control of his life and his emotions.

A good place to start looking at what is happening with you now is to ask yourself: what was going on in your life 6 months to 18 months before you became sick. Did you divorce? Did someone die? Did you lose your job or your money?

All the issues and events which were traumatic in your life can lead to being sick now. They can because you did not take the time to heal. You did not acknowledge that you were distraught, or upset, or devastated. You didn’t grieve fully. Yet your body knows it needs to rest and you need to grieve. So it first gives you a cold so you take some time off work, crawl under the covers with a chicken soup. But did you do that? No! Did you allow yourself time to cry, and found a shoulder to cry on. Obviously not enough. It will all come out eventually. It is not possible to keep things inside and pretend that nothing happened. The body knows and remembers. And wherever you have a weakness in your system, a general stomach weakness, or repeated colds, or sore throat or bad back, this is the area of your body which is fragile and will only get worse. The terrain is ready for it to worsen, as it is already fragile. When people are distressed, they can feel it in their bones.

You have a chance to discover what causes disease and cancer when you visit www.cancer.spontaneousremission.com to submit your own questions and receive a free preview copy of my upcoming book: “Think and grow healthy”, an investigation into disease, cancer and your power to heal your body.

In “Cancer proof your body”, Ross Horne states, “People who have a positive fighting spirit and who don’t give up hope stand a much better chance of fighting away disease. If you’re not a peace with yourself and God, if you’re mixed up inside and have inner conflict, your healing is adversely affected.”

In “Mind Medicine”, Uri Geller says: “The most brilliant medicine in the world cannot cure the body if the patient’s state of mind refuses to cooperate, just as a person’s state of mind can have a devastating effect on physical health. …. We know that if a patient does not believe he will be cured, a cure will not take place. The whole of the mind needs to heal to effect a full recovery.

To find a cure, look beyond the obvious to reach the symbolic and subtly emotional roots of disease. The challenge is to understand yourself not as a machine, but to see that mind and body are one complete, living whole, not subject to mechanical analysis or textbook diagnosis. Disease is not conquered, it is transcended.

It is important that you become aware how your outward life circumstances affect your body. You start to develop strategies for coping with stressful life events. It may be as simple as going to the gym and working out to let go of the tension in your body. Do you over-drink to cope with stress? Hiding your fears and grief in drugs, alcohol, sweet or fat foods will not relieve your situation, but will damage your body. Walking or jogging, finding a friend you can confide in, or hiring a therapist who will listen to you, all are solutions that can maintain your health and speed your recovery. Some people have found that by volunteering their time and caring for the elderly, or by helping others who are in need, took their mind off their own trouble and contributed to a brighter outlook on life. It could be as simple as getting a pet, or visiting sick children in the hospital. Start an art class or any other activity that you have always wanted to do but have put off.

Bernie Siegel, MD, the author of many books on health and healing, said, “There are no incurable diseases. Only incurable people.” Think about it.

Controversial Author takes on Medical Establishment

Controversial Author takes on Medical Establishment

Dr Magne claims there IS a cure for cancer, and it is much simpler and cheaper than the pharmaceuticals and the doctors would have you think. In her new book, she asks the questions that others fear to ask. People who are the frontier of scientific thought are people ask good questions. They ask: “What if?” Every good question deserves an honest answer.

That stands even if the answer is heretical, if it isn’t what people want to hear, whether it destroys the world view or the accepted standards, and even if it isn’t a good career move. He who wants answers will have to ask questions.

Dr Magne asks many such questions. She wants to know why the word CURE is only the property of the medical profession, and why alternative therapists and known effective treatments for cancer and other diseases with a terminal diagnostic cannot use the word ‘cure”? And she asks who really does the curing and the healing in therapy.

What would have happened if Descartes had never been forced by the Pope to separate the mind and the body in his scientific research? Have we lost 300 years, and is it too late for us to remember how to heal our bodies?

My expertise in the field, years of research after a traumatic skydiving accident where I suffered a crushed wrist, a broken back and a cracked vertebrae. I found a method to overcome the pain of post-op that hospital staff refused to ddress. I spent the next 30 years finding out how I had found bliss and silence from the pain. It is the same way that people who suffer from cancer, leukemia, arthritis and many other diseases use to put their disease ‘in remission’ and beat all the doctors’ prognostics.

Statistics showed in the US that when hospitals were on strike, patients had a lower death rate. Do we have any alternative to the drug industry that is more interested in its profit line than in healing patients?

We are constantly exchanging the atoms in our body with our environment. Our body is completely rebuilt within 12 months. Yet we remain the same. How? And why? Who monitors that process? Can we influence that process? Has this ever been done?

We’re told that we use only 5% of our brain capacity, what is the rest for? This book asks all these questions and looks at the answers that are available.

Most of us have gotten sick at one stage or another. I ask where disease comes from, and what purpose it serves in the body. I look at the implications of the body trying to communicate with us. The idea that we create our disease and the form it takes leads to the conclusion that we are then able to control our disease and stop it from re-occurring.
The body talks in metaphors. What exactly what is it saying? Is it possible that the body is literal, and that the pain one feels in the neck has to do with someone being a pain the neck in your life?

We are what we think. Our body responds to the quality of our thoughts and we can be the creator of our diseases when we lose control of our minds and our thoughts. I show examples of disease reversal by changing the thoughts we hold about ourselves and the world. We interpret the world according to our values and beliefs, depending on what we choose to retain from the 2 million bits of information that hit us every second.

We can only process or accommodate 200 of those bits. The power of our beliefs and values also create and reinforce our tendency toward particular diseases. Our reality is completely created in the mind. We’re making it all up. The world we live in is completely made up in our mind by each of us. I give numerous explanations and examples. And I would like to know if we can rebuild the world the way we want it? Are we really at the cause of our disease? And if that’s the case, how about accidents? Do we create those too?

THE QUANTUM FIELD OF HEALING
We really don’t know or understand anything about our world, and the field of quantum physics is demonstrating in the most bizarre of experiments which have outrageous and documented results, that we live in a soup of infinite possibilities, and our thinking and decision-making process create our world as we go. If we can control our universe, the question is posed that past saints and healers must have understood the world of quantum physics to accomplish their ‘miracles’. I cite examples of Jesus healing the sick by the power of his belief, Sai Baba, a living saint in India, Amma, the hugging saint. How powerful are we really?

WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS?
Where is our consciousness located? Are we a race in mutation? Studies show that babies are now born with enlarged frontal lobes, which have always been credited for being the seat of higher intelligence, being the most recent development of our brain. What are the frontal lobes for? Are these children more gifted than their parents? Who are the Indigo children, and those Chinese
Super Psychics?

SPONTANEOUS REMISSION
The question that YOU should be asking then is: What does this all mean for me if I have cancer? Can I cure my cancer? I describe the origins of cancer as science and psychology are started to find. Are there cancer personalities? I review the cancer statistics of life events leading to cancer. I use examples from the Institute of Noetics, which quotes 1000’s of cases of spontaneous remission.
Spontaneous remission is possible through the mind-body connection, through the way we think, the way we live our lives. Who is the healer within? Who is the observer that runs your body?

SPONTANEOUS REMISSION, HOW IS IT DONE?
Spontaneous remission is a combination of many factors. Some of them are obvious and we already know them:

  • Proper diet, nutrition and exercise
  • Visualization, healing meditation

The combination of others can make a huge difference in the course of a terminal disease and this is where we need to start focusing our attention for permanent remission of cancer and the other terminal diseases that are so widespread.

Dr Magne’s dream is to stop disease. It is time for every single person on the planet to reclaim their power. She offers every reader the opportunity to ask the questions that are on their mind about cancer, leukemia, AIDS, through a simple survey.
