Cancer is a disease that Hippocrates named a crab (cancer in Latin) formed from a mass of cancer cells known as a tumor. When cancer is detected the billions of cells that make up the tumor have become infested with many cancer cells. The tumor may expand into other tissues with ramifications that penetrate tissues. The standard protocol requires this to be excised through surgical processes followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
The toxic treatment of cancer was developed after WWII (1945). It was based on toxic therapy to kill cancer cells, which was based on empirical observation rather than scientific evidence. According to the medical system our body does not interfere or fight by itself against disease. Treatments just rely on toxic drugs and do nothing else. For the past decade, the media reported information related to new miraculous drugs and about new treatments coming up, and everyone was hoping that such breakthrough treatment may cure our cancer.
I remember the case of a patient telling me he would not yet do my treatment since he was awaiting a new treatment coming from the US. Too bad this middle-aged male patient diagnosed with a lymphoma died shortly after and his father, a cousin of my wife, diagnosed at the same time with colon cancer, died a few months later. He just did chemotherapy and followed what the doctor at the hospital told him to do, but didn't ask me for other support.
To make things worse, years later the granddaughter was diagnosed with breast cancer and also died. Both the father and son had strong hope and conviction that chemotherapy and radiation would cure their cancer.
My belief is for many years the conventional treatment of cancer had reached what I call a dead-end street concerning the efficacy of treatment and it really needed another view and approach to the disease, especially how to treat with less toxicity based on what science is now discovering concerning several natural dietary agents.
It is time we start learning more about the power of our own body and also of the power of nature that can provide the best remedy. In fact, during recent decades we have neglected the power of our body to rely only on drugs, rather than the power of food. Doctors do not know about nutrition or healthy food because they have not been taught about this subject at Universities. Today, they have become computerized and do not sit and think for themselves. The revolution of health and healthy food is coming from people who search for this knowledge, but rarely from medical doctors.
We still have to learn more about the nature of cancer and also about ourselves since many of us still remain ignorant. Alexis Carrel, who won the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology in 1912, stressed that our ignorance was profound. He predicted what happened today in our modern society would decline.
What do we know about health, about food to protect us against disease? Do we know to live with more harmony in this aggressive modern society, especially about the relationship between the body and the nervous system, the brain, and disease?
What about the relationship between the brain and the body and the brain and the immune system, about how our immune system is functioning, and today more than ever, about our gut microbiome? Did you know that 60% of our natural defense is associated with the microbiome and that many immune cells are also produced also by the intestine? Of course, science is penetrating deeper into the human body and a new science called Psycho-neuro-immunology already has shown the relationship between the brain and the body and how some diseases can be fought. We are still ignorant about the power of our mind, how energy flows from the mind, from every single cell, from the whole body.
Energy is also present all around us, especially in a forest, but much less in polluted cities. Energy also comes from the sun and the cosmos. As mentioned, humans continue to be ignorant about themselves. And, in the Antiquity, what the Aphorism of Socrates the Greek philosopher wrote in the Temple of Delphi: “Man know thyself,” is still a reality.
