I have a client with lung cancer. First, I am assuming that you really want some help, and not some huggy feely answer... ....and I'll do my best to help. ....Energy and the manipulation of energy FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES (like an energy therapist) is important, but until she can manipulate them (her own mind, spirit and energies) from the inside of HER mind/body/spirit, it won't last, probably. So continue doing all that you are doing, and add to the " Miracle Mix " other resources from mind training. I know that you have an INTENTION that is positive towards her. Now, does she have an INTENTION that is positive towards herself? Many people that have cancer, do not. Your " intention " on her energies is like a light buld in an auditorium. Her " intentions " on her energies, on her goals, on her positive outcomes, are like a laser beam bouncing off the moon! So, along with the energy drills, teach her how-to-use her INTENTIONS at a deep level of mind, where the unconscious filters, values, beliefs and learnings are interfering with the conscious desire to get well. This means that you might want to teach her all the drills and skills in Donna's book, pages 317-339. Then you'll need to add on to that, other skills that will help her dissolve those " black boxes " (negative tag ends to positive thoughts), so that when she uses the creative mechanism of her subconscious mind, she is using it for " what she WANTS, instead of what she does NOT want. " That is VERY important. You can get these drills from David Feinstein's great new Energy Psychology Interactive. Just read the book, and teach her as you learn at the same time. Deep Hypnosis is another method of doing great subconscious work...another method of unifying both conscious and unconscious minds towards one positive outcome. Then, once the deep hooked up mind state is learned, it can be triggered at will consciously to do the proper " thought-forms " and visualizations on the etheric fields when at conscious theta brain wave. If you have the Remote Viewing Centering drill, they can easily adapt that mind drill for a healing drill. Let me know and I'll mail a copy. That positive intentions, while at theta/alpha should be done, by her, in a private room, 3 times a day for 15 minutes each time. The good news is, Dr. Carl Simonton and his wife Stephanie, did have great success with long term cancer patients. Complete remissions. Longer life. Better health. And, this was in terminal patients. The bad news is, they both were punished by the allopatic community for using such outlandish technologies, EVEN if they worked. Sort of like Energy Psychology is now being treated by the Clinical Psychological community. Anyway... What happens (a very short, simple definition) when a person uses the Centering drill and consciously goes to alpha/theta, is that their Triple Warmer normalizes. Once their TW normalizes, then then Immune system kicks back into gear like it was meant to. So, healing, is much more successful. Then, add to that Miracle Mix, the " intentions " as-if they are already true, you actually will get miracles. This is a quickee post for a serious project. If you want more, let me know. John M.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Careful, young'un. There is a Cancer Care Control Act here in Colorado. Historically, all CAM practitioners (of which I am aware) who have been prosecuted in this state for practicing without a license or beyond their legally mandated scope of practice have been popped because of treating cancer patients. One of the first acupuncturists in this state was selling computers and then cars last I heard for this very reason. This is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. One of the scary things is that a patient may love and value your treatment, but their family may be the ones that sue you. Came within a hair's breath myself of this happening to me. When I did get popped by the BME, it was simply because of a case history I had PUBLISHED about treating a cancer patient. The patient herself never complained. The c-word is fraught with special perils. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Bob, I don't know if your post is directed at me, but I assume it is since I started this thread. I appreciate your warning, but I would never try to treat Cancer. Not only do I recognize the ethical issues you mention, but I think I am far from qualified to approach such a disease. I just like studying the topic because the approach that is taken can be applied to many diseases (i.e. mixed convoluted patterns.) On the other hand, I see no legal issues in giving support to someone who is going through a Western medical Cancer protocol. - > > > On Behalf Of Bob Flaws > Thursday, August 04, 2005 9:08 AM > > Re: Cancer > > Careful, young'un.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Ann, The cancer diagnosis should be a major red flad and caution for any treatment especially herbs. Herbs should be critically evaluated and maybe not even used if you, the MD or the patient's family think it might compete with their chemo. If there is even a small chance of this ending up with problems than I would say walk away. The desire to help others has cost many other natural health practitioners their lives and livelihood due to our legal society and turf battles on healthcare. An MD can kill a person with this stuff and it is considered legit care while we cannot even help in some cases w/o being guilty of a crime. It is insane, which is why I would recommend avoiding this type of case altogether. These people need much more than we can provide like live-in care (sanitarium style) with lots of good food and changes in mind, body and spirit. I could recommend a lot more items but I think you get the idea. Mike W.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2005 Ann- As far as I understand, it is legal for us to treat the side effects that may arise from pharmaceutical cancer treatments. Yes, there are scope of practice limitations in treating cancer itself which seem to vary by state. FYI - I will be attending a seminar at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC in September entitled - Acupuncture for the Cancer Patient. MSKCC has a well known Integrative Medicine department which includes acupuncture and qigong therapy. Here is a link to their workshop page, they offer the acupuncture workshop on an ongoing basis though I believe that the September one is full - http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/11802.cfm If people are interested I will post about how the workshop goes in September.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2005 Alon, Good point but in general the concept of chemo, radiation or surgery for cancer care is not good science. The theory is to eliminate the problem (cancer) at all costs even if it kills the patient. I have seen this terrible calamity in action with several relatives. We, as a profession, are more apt to be taken to task if a cancer patient dies and we gave them herbs (possible herb-drug interactions). An MD can play the blame game and divert attention to us as they are the medical authority and the legal system is on their side in this one. While you are correct about the importance of the specialty, my point about general theory is also correct. In reality life is simple. Either the patient lives or they die. This may not be the answer you want but it is the truth. The more extreme the medicine, the more extreme the body response. Mike W.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2005 Alon, The Office of Technology Assessment (US govt office) did a study that showed only about 15-20% of all the current WM procedures had any scientific validity. This is not my feelings but a govt report. I am glad that you have had a couple of relatives who have outlived the five year survival period but that does not dismiss the growing concern that WM is not following science but politics. When FDA and other groups are turning a blind eye to the pharm studies and allowing dangerous drugs to get on the market, what's up with that? Cancer is a problematic issue that seems to be growing more and more and WM is not the answer to its elimination as it does not consider the organism in its equation. Mike W.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2005 Mike Don't get me wrong, I think MW has tons of problems, but i always like to talk about specifics instead of just bashing. Just like i hate it when there is a negative study on acupuncture and the media says study shows acupuncture does not work. To have a professional level discussion i think we need to speak in detail. As i said, i think there is many great things about CM and many great things about WM and there is plenty of shit both in WM and CM.

See introduction and summary statement for the explanation of the 10-20% number that is batted around. Given that it is almost 30 years later how do those numbers shed any light on the current state of affairs? I don't think that they have much validity except when people are reaching for facts to make inferences. Does anyone have have any more current data of the same ilk? Come to think of it even if there is more current data what is the nexus of comparison? There isn't any data I'm aware of outside of the acupunture safety review to talk about safety, efficacy and or iatrogenic illness and the Chinese medicine profession. There is no way to honestly do an apples to apples comparison at least in terms of the aforementioned study. If there is anything to be garned from the study mentioned I think it is to question yourself about the assessment and question the diagnosis (western and eastern) when suspicious.

Your example speaks of common sense but since this no longer rules decsion making we dare not use it in conversation any longer. Remember that science rules!
