Body, Mind, Spirit

I had contracted colon cancer late 2003.

The doctor sliced 600mm of my colon and fixed a colostomy bag on me, and then sent me for the conventional medical treatment of chemotherapy for 3 painful months. I then began to feel stupid - simply because I wasn't getting any better - I started feeling worse actually. Health wise, I felt I was literally going backwards! To top it all I was paying for all this so-called treatment to some BMW-driving doctor and getting sicker by the day!

It was then that I realised that I had to take my life into my own hands and moved on to seek an alternative road to recovery.

I began talking to many cancer patients. I began reading. I read and read and read so many books, articles, journals, and spent many hours on the web trying to understand cancer, and seek a proper cure for the disease. During this time of my search, I had only one thought in my head that seemed to stick like a very powerful glue - that in every disease, God gives a cure. The adage that cancer has no cure is one BIG lie to me.

This is when I made a huge turnabout belief in conventional medicine. Up until then, when it comes to taking medicine and listening to the good doctors' advise, I had full faith in them - 100%, no question.

Not anymore.

My oncologist told me I had 35% chance to live the next 5 years. That was in 2003. It is now 2008, and I have not felt any better in my life today!

The medical profession has a lot to learn about treating the sick. They claim to 'cure' their patients by treating their physical ailments. Then they tell us we have 6 months to live... This is the type of doctors we have curing our sick.

They give you medicine to cure your body, then they kill your mind to death!

I don't have the statistics [and I don't care too much for them actually], but I believe cancer patients literally WILL themselves to die when they hear their doctors telling them they don't have a chance to live.

This is why I regard the power of the mind and the calmness of the spirit as EQUALLY important to the health of the body.

In other words, the cure for cancer ought to be WHOLISTIC. All three components that make up the total content of us humans - BODY, MIND, SPIRIT, must be taken care of and cured simultaneously, concurrently. One simply cannot treat one aspect and ignore the other. This is why so many go for chemo [read conventional medicine] and die!

I make no apologies for my seeming disgust at modern, conventional medicine. I have nothing against doctors. Many of my good friends are doctors. My own daughter, Yana, is reading medicine at The Czech Republic. It's just that I believe the medical system stinks when it comes to treatment of cancer.

It doesn't matter what cancer we are looking at. The important thing is that we take responsibility for our own health. The health system as we know it does not have all the answers, unfortunately.

But the good news is that total cure is out there, and it CAN be attained. One just have to have the will to find it.
