Medical Study: Untreated Cancer Patients Live Longer

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

 

No point in discussing this any further with you. You have been utterly and

totally converted to this way of thinking, and if someone has cancer, you will

find the depression and the death wish. Whether or not the cancer patient

actually had depression is another thing. If it can't be proven, and it can't,

then you just reason that they hid it somehow. It almost reeks of primitive

religious practices, at least in the amount of unreason present.

 

I didn't mention the book because most " self-help " books help one person, the

writer of the book. I can say this because I am 65, and since I was about 13

years old, I have averaged reading two books per week, some fiction, some

non-fiction, although now I lean towards non-fiction since good fiction writers

have for the most part departed. I have read Chopra, Weil, Ornish, and the list

goes on and on. Some good in most of them, but I said some. I would have been

better advised to read Harry Potter in most cases. :)

 

Yes, emotional well-being plays a large part in our health. That is a

no-brainer, but to make the assertions, and they are only assertions, that

everyone who gets cancer is depressed and has a death wish is simply beyond

rationality.

 

I wish you the best, and yes, I do mean that. I hope your reading continues,

and broadens.

 

Roger

Okay Roger, I'll give you that babies cannot develop

cancer of their own accord...but as we get many things

from our parents, is it possible that a mother's

depression during pregnancy could be the root of a

young child's cancer? And as far as well-rounded,

young individuals who develop cancer, only they can

answer you as to whether they are depressed or not. I

know people who have had cancer who there is no way I

would have known they had depression - they just

absolutely never have shown it to me, and yet when

confronting them I get an admission of depression.

Many don't admit it is a death wish, but say " they

don't care if they live or die " - by my

interpretation, that is a death wish - a loss of the

will to live.

 

I've talked with a number of people who have had

cancer and, interestingly, when I mention that I heard

that cancer is a death wish, all whom I have talked

with have responded something like, " I can see that. "

Also of interest, anyone who has not had cancer will

give me a very strong resounding, " No. " As I said, it

is my supposition from things that I have seen. I'm

not saying I'm absolutely right.

 

You mention nothing about the book I recommended.

Will you do me a favor please? Will you read that

book and then send me an email and tell me what you

think after you finish it? I'd really like to know

your opinion.

 

As far as a gunshot versus illness/disease. Very

different things. Illnesses and diseases develop when

the body gets out of sync. Giving the body

alternative options besides the ones it sees on its

own when it is clouded by everything put upon it by

our environement is part of what the NH and TBM

practitioners do. Every human illness and disease is

related to some kind of breakdown in communications in

the body, fix the communications and allow the body to

heal itself, that is what NH and TBM are all about.

 

You can be happy and still be swallowing emotions that

are causing illness in your body. My opinion I stated

was that deep depression and a death wish are at the

center of cancer, not at the center of all illnesses.

I believe that all swallowed emotions lie in wait for

the opportunity to manifest themselves in symptoms and

illness when the environment is ripe and ready for

them. Add the emotions swallowed to the environmental

stresses and you find disease and illness. Again,

please read " Feelings Buried Alive Never Die... " and

tell me what you get from that. Until and unless you

read that book, you won't be able to tell at all where

I am coming from on this issue. Kat
