A BODYMIND RENAISSANCE, Part 7: Creating an Inhospitable Environment for Cancer

Finally, I was going home and I could put the *surgery and all that trepidation behind me. The cancer had been removed from my body; I had cleared the initial hurdle. I traveled to Cleveland for a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic, meeting with a respected elder doc who resembled a movie star, and subsequently agreed to three radiation treatments. (I may one day write about that experience but for now it’s a bit too personal for Facebook. Suffice it to say it was fascinating and, to keep myself calm, I ended up serenading the physicists and techs who were managing the R2D2-like radiation machine selectively frying my insides.) After all was complete, which was only a 3-week period -- I turned my attention full bore to SELF CARE. There’s nothing like a health scare to snap me into attention! It was time to begin the real process of healing, putting myself back together and envisioning how to make this not only my first, but also my LAST encounter with cancer. Since I’ve been a holistic health devotee for nearly 50 years (and a wellness practitioner for 30), fortunately, I know a lot about taking good care of myself. Now it was time to turn it all up a notch, to do what my cancer coach, the very lovely and profoundly informed Glenn Sabin, calls “creating an inhospitable environment for cancer.” . . . . . . . . . . . . .

16 months ago I was diagnosed with stage one endometrial cancer. In the coming weeks I learned so much about myself... how I react to bad news, how long it takes me to pick myself off the floor and get to work doing something about it, etc. I know SO many people have been through similar experiences, where your perspective shifts suddenly. I want to keep writing about this, because there's a lot to say... p.s. I appear to be cancer-free at present, thank you Jesus and all other available deities and cosmic influencers.

A BODYMIND RENAISSANCE, Part 6: My Surgeon was a Robot

Laparoscopic surgery is the bomb. In my 30’s I had a cyst removed and was in SO much pain I could barely stand or move for several weeks. The more recent surgery was performed by a ROBOT (under the guidance, of course, of my surgeon). This only required 5 tiny incisions; and I didn’t need pain relief for long at all. I healed quickly, could walk the same day to the bathroom unassisted! I only spent one night in the hospital… And I was 40 years older! 16 months later I have virtually no scars. I must admit my appreciation for modern medicine took a leap forward.

When I was 24 years old, I lived in Berkeley CA where I starting learning about dance and holistic health, receiving acupuncture, homeopathy, breath work, and advanced therapeutic bodywork such as Bioenergetics. I also explored several forms of meditation. I read books about immortality, books on “Creative Visualization” by Shakti Gawain, “Bioenergetics” by Alexander Lowen, and the iconic book by Dr. Joseph Murphy, the “Power of Your Subconscious Mind”. My commitment to a holistic view of healthcare has developed over 3 decades hence, but it started in Berkeley. So, of course, *when I learned I had cancer, my initial inclination was to think “what else can I do besides surgery and radiation?” I was much older by then, but my value system hadn’t changed much and I still believed, as I do today, that the Body can heal itself. In fact, there is no healing at all unless the Body heals itself, regardless of how much assistance it may derive from outside sources. In the final analysis, if our cells don’t have what it takes to become whole again, our Body just can’t make it. I was in a quandary, because I knew I’d been lucky to learn about cancer at Stage 1, and I didn’t want to blow it, but I also didn’t want to abandon everything I knew and believed because of fear. Many others have faced similar dilemnas…perhaps you?

16 months ago I received an unwelcome piece of news... I was diagnosed with stage one endometrial cancer. In the coming weeks I learned so much about myself... how I react to bad news, how long it takes me to pick myself off the floor and get to work doing something about it, etc. I know many people have been through similar experiences, where your perspective shifts suddenly. I want to keep writing about this, because there's a lot to say...I hope you’ll follow me for awhile and contribute to the conversation if you want, not just about cancer, but about how we take care of ourselves... p.s. I appear to be cancer-free at present, thank you Jesus and everyone else.

DID YOU KNOW that ASEA Redox Supplement was studied by the Hippocrates Health Institute? They conducted double-blind research for almost a year to see if people with similar health profiles and comparable diseases who were living on the Hippocrates program would find a different degree of benefit when one group was taking ASEA.
The Hippocrates Institute in West Palm Beach, Fl. is well-known for it's programs, which use nutrition, detoxification, stress management and life-style education as a means to improved health. People have been coming to it's lush 50-acre setting from all over the world for over 60 years.
DID YOU KNOW what they said about the results?
"We were pleased to find that there was clearly superior improvement of the immune system for those using this advanced product. There were also a number of verbal reports of how people felt more energy and stronger via the consumption of this powerful liquid. After immersing ourselves in both the science behind ASEA and the empirical evidence that has emerged we would strongly advise those in the conquest of disease to consider utilizing this important contribution to human health."
