Andrew Weil, MD and Ann Marie Chiasson, MD collaborate on a new insightful audio guide to using energy medicine and energy healing methods for self-healing.  Called "Self-Healing With Energy Medicine," this is a 2-CD audio set available from Sounds True.  Both doctors are trained in Western medicine as well as alternative medicine modalities, and each has a wealth of experience working with energetic healing methods. Practices such as therapeutic touch, reiki, chi gong, acupressure, vibrational sound healing, and breathwork are all examples of ways we can work with energy to heal ourselves and foster balance in our lives. Weil and Chiasson fill the first CD with stories and information about their own experiences and research with energy medicine and share their understanding of the energy system and ways people perceive energy.


The second CD is filled with exercises to help you ground and balance your energy, and the CD contains high quality healing music tracks in the background to support these exercises. Dr. Weil and Dr. Chiasson do an excellent job of explaining the relationship between energy medicine and mind-body medicine. They illustrate how important it is to have healing methods to address all levels of ourselves. Energy healing methods are very useful and can often be applied successfully for people who may not be receptive or responsive to other types of therapy. Since our mind and body are both aspects of a system of energy fields that are inseparable from one another, we can help heal both the mind and body by clearing distress from those energy fields and restoring balance and healthy energy flow. This CD set offers a valuable introduction to this healing approach.

Dr. Leonard Coldwell states that "there is no healing force outside the body, therefore the only person that can heal you-is you!"

Coldwell teaches what he calls instinct based medicine, and his latest book is titled The Only Answer To Cancer: Defeating The Root Cause Of All Disease. Coldwell is a best selling author and previously ran a highly successful clinic in Germany. When authorities became aware of his highly effective and increasingly popular natural cancer therapies he was compelled to leave Germany and cease practicing as a doctor. He then focused on sharing information with the public so that people can learn to heal themselves and not be misled by the dogmas and faulty beliefs of conventional doctors.

Coldwell's path as a healer was catalyzed when he successfully assisted his mother in recovering and bringing her terminal liver cancer into full remission over 33 years ago. She is still alive now at age 73.

Coldwell has seen over 35,000 patients and taught over 2 million seminar attendees, helping people learn to relieve stress and cleanse and nourish their body to assist in letting natural healing processes restore their health. Coldwell is President of the World Wellness Organization and personal physician to best-selling author Kevin Trudeau. He comes from a family where nearly everyone got cancer, and as a child he became determined to find a way to heal this condition. Here is what Dr. Coldwell shares on his website as a protocol to heal cancer on a physical level:

1. I would do a 21 day full body and colon cleansing system from www.mybepure.com
2. Do the Cancer Protocol http://awesomesupplements.com/7335.product.html
2a. Medical Fact is that cancer cannot grow in an oxygen rich alkaline environment. Therefore, I would always make sure that my body is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.36. I would achieve this easily with the Acid-Alkaline Protocol from http://awesomesupplements.com/7029.product.html that was created after my historical use for my patients.
2b. Very often a correlation between cancer and fungus / Candida overgrowth is mentioned in the medical world. To make sure I don't suffer from this Candida overgrowth I would do the Candida Remediation Protocol from http://awesomesupplements.com/7066.product.html which was also created after the producer researched my historical use of protocols with my patients in the past.
3. I also would take Hydrosol silver from http://www.helpingamerica.com/cmd.php?af=889878 (and do their metal cleanse too!)
4. I would take vitamin B17
4a. I would use Baking Soda with real Maple Syrup and warm up one tea spoon of Baking Soda with 5 spoons full of Maple syrup.
5. I would take Essiac Capsules http://awesomesupplements.com/8550.product.html
6. I would eat, if I could afford it, only organic whole foods from www.greatwholefood.com and eat fresh organic salads, vegetables and fruit.
7. I would have as much sun as my skin can handle without getting burned. Sun does not cause cancer!
8. I would buy a cheap juicer such as the Jack Lalanne model and have a lot of fresh juice with a lot of greens added.
9. I would walk or exercise just a little every day. Or at least 2 minutes 3 times a week
10. I would eat a vegetarian all organic life food diet
11. I would take Flora-Zymes, Quint-Essence, vitamin E and cal-mag from www.awesomesupplements.com every day of my life.

**In severe cases I would add oxygen therapy and or 35% hydrogen peroxide therapy. I would take (but I don't encourage anyone else to do it!) 8 drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide in 8 ounces of Aloe juice for at least 35 days.

Coldwell concludes this protocol by commenting "After doing all of this I would know I had done everything to address the physical causes of bad health."

Coldwell then states that he would focus on getting rid of the "root cause" of all disease - "lack of energy, which is usually caused by stress." He adds that "the main cause of cancer is mental and emotional stress." He refers to scientific studies which indicate that about 84% of all physical illnesses are generated by stress, with physical agents only contributing to 16% of factors leading to illness.  Thus, while the physical cleansing and cancer clearing protocol usually facilitates the dissolution of cancerous tumors, Coldwell believes it is vital to also address the mental and emotional stresses that have fostered the cancerous conditions so that they are permanently resolved. Coldwell's suggestions are offered as educational information and are not intended to replace professional diagnostic and treatment services from a qualified health care provider. The implications of Coldwell's research and clinical experience are that the best way to heal cancer and other illnesses is to cleanse toxins from the body and provide high quality nourishment, while offering energetic healing and psychological healing aids to help address the root causes of physical disease.

Democratic U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich has stated that the current proposal for health insurance reform from the Democrat-controlled Congress is "a bailout for insurance companies." Kucinich, the veteran House of Representatives member from Ohio was a contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008.  Kucinich has for a long time called for public universal health insurance and had endorsed Barack Obama's nomination after deciding to end his own presidential candidacy.

Speaking on MSNBC's The Ed Show, Kucinich condemned the Democratic congressional leaders for removing an amendment sponsored by Kucinich which would have allowed states to create their own single-payer health insurance systems. Such a system would be similar to Canadian and British universal health care plans, and individual states could voluntarily join in single-payer public non-profit health care insurance plans. The amendment had been passed in House legislative committee in July, and was removed from the new plan by House leaders without explanation. The new plan ties rates for services to rates paid by major insurance companies rather than Medicare payment rates and allows rates to rise 25% above existing medical care fees. The bill would also mandate all citizens buy an approved insurance plan - which would mean forcing most people to buy expensive private insurance plans since few would qualify for the public plan option. Host Ed Schultz referred to the plan as a "sellout," pointing out that only 11 million Americans would be allowed to join a limited government run (public) health insurance option while everyone would be forced to obtain insurance, meaning many millions more of the presently uninsured would be forced to buy private insurance. This would be a great boost to insurance industry profits, with the government forcing millions of already impoverished people to buy health insurance.

Citizens often fail to acknowledge that insurance is a for-profit industry that naturally drives up the cost of health care. The collusion between insurance companies, pharmaceutical interests, and government policymakers aggravates this inherent drawback to corporate for-profit insurance. Government "public" health insurance would depend on public funds, which are currently a concern due to the multi-trillion dollar deficit of the U.S. Government. If citizens and health care providers wish to improve their own finances they may seek to find ways of providing and obtaining health care independent of either a public or private insurance system. Some form of co-operative arrangement in one's community could offer an alternative that would be a win-win for providers and patients.

Congressman Kucinich is inaccurate in calling the current Congressional plan a bailout, as the health care insurance industry is not in genuine distress. It's an industry dominated by unethical profit-seekers who have manipulated Congress to "sellout" Americans to further corporate greed. Worse yet, much of what is provided as health care does not benefit people's health. Frequently people are not really getting the service they believe they are paying for - which means they remain sick and continue to receive ineffective services, further driving up the costs of treatment and insurance coverage. Health care reform starts at the grass roots level with people taking responsibility for their health, with doctors providing preventive and holistic care, and with informed health care decisions coming from those giving and receiving the treatment. Government health care initiatives often serve the interests of those who profit from the public's ill health and few politicians wish to admit this.

As debate over the genuineness of a flu emergency and the safety of influenza vaccines continues, there are some key issues and assumptions that need to be explored. These include the following:

1. What role do microbes play in illness and disease processes? Are they the underlying cause or are they just part of a more complex process? Are the microbes present when people are healthy as well as when they are ill?

2. Is the germ theory of disease accurate, or are microbes pleomorphic and responsive to the biological terrain in a way that gives the host control over regulating the activity and function of microbes?

3. Is the production of antibodies to specific microbes actually a measure of immunity? What are the specific and systemic reactions that the body produces as response to perceived foreign proteins and toxins? Do vaccinations engage the full range of immune response or just a limited portion of that response?

4. How does the body respond to vaccine shots? Injections bypass the normal pathways of exposure to microbes, potentially placing the immune system into an over-activated state. Is there any connection between vaccinations and auto-immune related illnesses?

5. How are studies on vaccine safety and efficacy conducted? Are there controls used for relevant variables and are data looked at long-term (longitudinal) or just short term?

6. How are potential adverse vaccine reactions reported and documented? If adverse reaction data is not properly documented then any studies looking at the issue of vaccine safety would fail to show an accurate assessment of potential hazards.  Why have consumer advocate groups had to take legal action to expose reports of adverse reactions to vaccines?

7. What are the ingredients of vaccine formulations, and have these ingredients been shown to have hazardous properties in non-vaccine related exposure?

8. What alternative measures are available to foster immune strength and reduction in illnesses? Why are there no governmental or medical industry campaigns to ensure that everyone gets adequate sleep, nutrients, and other important immune boosters?

9. What is the financial influence of the pharmaceutical industry? What are the connections between the corporations that manufacture vaccines and the government agencies that regulate health care and the media corporations that disseminate news?

10. What role have factors such as nutrition, living conditions, societal stresses, environmental contamination, and other variables played in the waxing and waning of disease epidemics? Is there any valid evidence that vaccines have caused declines in illnesses that couldn't be accounted for by other factors?

11. Why is it that the outcome of supposedly scientific research can be predicted with rather high accuracy based upon who is conducting the research? This factor strongly suggests that scientific research can be (and frequently is) easily manipulated to generate data that supports the interests of those with a financial stake in a product or treatment modality. Are medical experts critically analyzing research to see if claims made in publicized studies are really accurate rather than just convenient assumptions or willful deceptions?

A new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicates that the Food and Drug Administration has often allowed drugs to remain on the market even after follow up studies show a lack of benefit. Additionally, the investigation discovered that the FDA has never taken action to remove a drug from the market when the required follow-up studies are not conducted. An Associated Press report released this week indicates that about a third of the required follow-up studies are still pending.


The FDA began a program of "accelerated approval" in 1992 to help fast-track drugs to market based on preliminary lab data. A number of cancer and HIV drugs were among those approved in this program. A condition of that program was that manufacturers must conduct follow-up to determine if the drugs actually extend patient lives. Many drugs still on the market failed to show the clinical benefits in follow-up studies. The FDA did not require independent 3rd party studies to assess drug efficacy, so it was the manufacturers own data which showed lack of benefit in these cases. Since independent studies are less likely to show product benefits, it is likely that even more drugs on the market fail to offer any benefits for saving lives.


The FDA has no immediate plans to change its oversight and enforcement of these regulations, as agency officials indicate that the FDA has focused its limited resources on other matters. Apparently, these other matters include threatening legal action against sellers of natural remedies that claim to prevent or treat illnesses. The FDA is currently cracking down on sellers of products claimed to prevent or treat the flu, even while available data suggests that approved vaccines don't significantly reduce flu cases or prevent flu deaths and commonly used flu drugs may also contain more hazards than benefits. Public trust in the FDA is misplaced if the agency acts to protect the interests of pharmaceutical manufacturers rather than the interest of public health.  With many studies and physicians now questioning the efficacy and safety of the vaccination paradigm, it is time to examine these topics in more depth.

As described in an Associated Press report, Dr. Christine Daniel was arrested this week on charges of mail and wire fraud after years of selling herbal cancer formulas grossing about $1.1 Million.  Daniel had been interviewed by investigators in 2004 and claimed that she was not practicing alternative medicine to treat cancer and had not made public claims of a 60% success rate on television.  Daniel, an ordained Pentecostal Christian minister, had touted her cancer treatment on Trinity Broadcasting Network, a Christian television network.

Authorities claim that Dr. Daniel took advantage of desperate, terminally ill cancer patients, with herbal medicines that cost recipients thousands of dollars.  Records showed that Daniel received 1.1 million dollars from 55 families for the herbal regimen between 2001 and 2004.  The report indicates that 6 patients died within 7 months after seeing Daniel.  It fails to mention what the prognosis was for these patients deemed terminally ill with cancer by medical authorities.  Perhaps this total of close to 90% of these patients surviving longer than 7 months was significantly better than would be expected considering their condition at the time they began the herbal treatments.  The patients had already been severely weakened by what the AP report refers to as "draining rounds of chemotherapy and radiation."  Thus, it is certainly possible that the patients benefited from the alternative herbal therapy regardless of whether the physician made inaccurate or misleading claims or charged excessively high fees for the treatment.  It is well-established in alternative medicine research that alternative cancer therapies are much less likely to produce a recovery in those already damaged by radiation and chemotherapy than in those who have chosen to be treated first by alternative means before considering chemotherapy or radiation.  Medical authorities often attempt to coerce and restrict people from working with alternatives until orthodox treatments have failed - thus limiting the success rate of those alternative treatments.

Mainstream cancer therapies had obviously failed these patients, probably producing more harm than benefit, at a rather high financial cost.  Yet mainstream medicine receives no consequence for providing ineffective therapies at a high cost or for passing along information that is often inaccurate and misleading.  It is non-conformists like Dr. Daniel who are pursued by prosecutors and decried by members of the medical establishment who seem to fear opposing viewpoints and competition.  This is by no means an endorsement of her treatments as being a highly effective or ideal option for those looking to recover from cancer.  It is however a criticism of the assumptions and judgments being made by those who have failed to explore the circumstances surrounding alternative cancer treatments and the prosecution of Dr. Daniel.

A wide range of data on mind-body medicine research is helping us understand how thoughts and emotions generate specific patterns of physical illnesses. Disempowering beliefs and repressed emotions disrupt the systems of the body that maintain our well-being. This leads to illness. These patterns of consciousness can even be inherited from ancestors or taken on at the soul level from other incarnations. This concept has been known in many indigenous cultures where shamanic and spiritual healers help people access the deepest levels of their being and release patterns that create illness. There is always the opportunity in the present to heal and resolve these issues. Below are some reports from modern research about how psychological issues lead to physical health challenges. Many of these resources are shared by holistic cancer coaches, who seek to help inspire and empower those facing cancer.

A team of researchers at Stanford University in California found that women who repressed their emotions were more likely to show disruptions in the normal balance of the stress hormone cortisol, compared with those who did not. Earlier studies have shown that the unbalanced cortisol fluctuations can predict early death in women with breast cancer that has spread to other areas of the body.

"People who have repressive styles tend to be more prone to illness, particularly [immune-system related] diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections, and cancers. The concept is of unexpressed anger. If one doesn't let it out, that could have adverse consequences." [Dr. George Solomon, professor emeritus of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at University of California Los Angeles]

"Extreme suppression of anger was the most commonly identified characteristic of 160 breast cancer patients who were given a detailed psychological interview and self-administered questionnaire. Repressing anger magnified exposure to physiological stress, thereby increasing the risk of cancer" [Journal of Psychosomatic Research]

"Extremely low anger scores have been noted in numerous studies of patients with cancer. Such low scores suggest suppression, repression, or restraint of anger. There is evidence to show that suppressed anger can be a precursor to the development of cancer, and also a factor in its progression after diagnosis." [Cancer Nursing - International Journal]

A 1979 study comparing long-term survivors of breast cancer with those who did not survive, scientists at John Hopkins University found that long-term survivors expressed much higher levels of anxiety, hostility and other negative emotions. Patients who were able to express their feelings lived longer than those who had difficulty in doing so. [Journal of the American Medical Association]

In a study conducted at the University of Colorado in the US, researchers found that people who repressed their emotions after a traumatic event had lowered immune systems compared to those who shared their feelings. "Our work suggests that emotional disclosure may influence immune responsiveness as well as having general health benefits. We are investigating the effects of emotional expression in women with breast cancer." [University of Auckland Medical & Health Sciences]

German cancer surgeon Dr. Ryke-Geerd Hamer examined thousands of cancer patients with all types of cancer. Dr. Hamer noticed that all his patients seemed to have something in common: there had been some kind of psycho-emotional conflict prior to the onset of their cancer - usually a few years before - a conflict that had never fully resolved. Dr. Hamer started including psychotherapy as an important part of the healing process and found that when the specific conflict was resolved, the cancer immediately stopped growing at a cellular level. Dr. Hamer believes that cancer-prone individuals are unable to adequately share their thoughts, emotions, fears and joys with other people. He calls this "psycho-emotional isolation". These people tend to hide their sadness and grief behind a brave face, appear pleasant, and avoid open conflict. According to Dr. Hamer, some people are not even aware of their emotions, and are therefore not only isolated from other people, but also from themselves.

"Chronic unforgiveness causes stress. Every time people think of their transgressor, their body responds. Decreasing your unforgiveness cuts down your health risk. Now, if you can forgive, that can actually strengthen your immune system". [Dr. Everett Worthington, Jr., Psychology Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University]

"The program's preliminary work suggests that forgiveness lowered the stress hormone cortisol that in turn affects the immune system, but only when the patients forgave the ones they blamed". [University of Maryland - Institute of Human Virology]

"Forgiveness could boost the immune system by reducing the production of the stress hormone cortisol" [Endocrinologist Dr. Bruce McEwen, Rockefeller University - New York]

"When you hold onto the bitterness for years, it stops you from living your life fully. As it turns out, it wears out your immune system and hurts your heart" [Stanford University Center for Research in Disease Prevention]

"Those who received forgiveness training showed improvements in the blood flow to their hearts" [University of Wisconsin - Research Dept.]

Researchers at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research found that forgiveness was linked with better self-reported mental and physical health.

A study published in 2003 from Duke University Medical Center demonstrates that those who forgive others experience lower levels of chronic pain and less associated psychological problems like anger and depression than those who have not forgiven. [Dr. James Carson, Dept. of Psychiatry, Duke University Medical Center]

Researchers at Ohio State University found that the highly stressed women had lower levels of natural killer cells than women who reported less stress. "Natural killer cells have an extremely important function with regard to cancer because they are capable of detecting and killing cancer cells. Psychological interventions, such as forgiveness, have important roles in reducing stress and improving quality of life, but also in extending survival." [Barbara Andersen, Professor of Psychology, Ohio State University]

"I have collected 57 extremely well documented so-called cancer miracles. At a certain particular moment in time they decided that the anger and the depression were probably not the best way to go, since they had such little time left. And so they went from that to being loving, caring, no longer angry, no longer depressed, and able to talk to the people they loved. These 57 people had the same pattern. They gave up, totally, their anger, and they gave up, totally, their depression, by specifically a decision to do so. And at that point the tumors started to shrink." [Yale Medical School - Dr. Bernie Seigel, Clinical Professor of Surgery]

"When I suggest emotional healing to people with cancer, they always misunderstand me. They hear it as emotional support. They think I either just want to comfort them, or show them how to have a more positive attitude. They don’t get that something like forgiveness might be the key to their getting well. I see their eyes glaze over when I go on to say that emotional toxicity is most likely the cause of their cancer, and that forgiveness, if used with appropriate treatments and lifestyle changes that address the physical, is a 'first-line' primary treatment. Their inability to hear this as a strategy for survival, is a measure of how brainwashed we all are into thinking that treatment for cancer must always be harsh, drastic and violent. With our War-on-Cancer mind-set, it's hard to imagine that something so seemingly soft and gentle as forgiveness could be the answer to our problem." [Colin Tipping, Director, Institute of Radical Forgiveness]

Individuals who are extremely closely attached to one another are more likely to experience complicated grief and poor health following the death of a loved one. Sleep and appetite disturbances, alcohol dependence, heightened blood pressure, a greater risk of cardiac problems and an increase in cancer risk can accompany complicated grief. [Yale University - School of Medicine]

"Traumatic grief symptoms seldom diminish after the second half of the first year following loss. Symptoms may actually increase as time goes on. Subjects with traumatic grief are at increased risk of developing cancer and other illnesses. Should grief remain unresolved, this vulnerability becomes part of the individual’s nervous system, hardwired, so to speak, in the neurochemical substrate." [The National Psychologist - Newspaper for Psychologists]

In a landmark study the University of New South Wales studied the effects of bereavement on the immune system by following the lives of surviving spouses during mourning. "At eight weeks, T-cell functions were significantly lower in the bereaved spouses than in age and sex-matched controls." T-cells are important for fighting cancer cells within the body. "The strong link between sleep and the immune system suggests that disrupted sleep following bereavement can indirectly affect health by suppressing the immune system. The relationship between bereavement and sleep has generated great interest among researchers as a factor in increased psychiatric and medical conditions and mortality (death)." [American Psychological Association]

"Grief impairs both the function of white blood cells processed in the thymus gland - and of natural killer (NK) cells which are responsible for attacking viruses and destroying tumor cells. Suppressed grief results in a weakening of the immune system by reducing the function of cells that defend against viral infections and tumors and which helps keep the body healthy. [University of Miami School of Medicine]

"Left untreated, complicated grief is associated with negative health outcomes, which may include clinical depression, suicidal thoughts or actions, substance abuse, cancer and cardiovascular illness. [University of Pittsburgh - School of Medicine]

A study has found that learned helplessness, a key component of complicated grief, is a strong developmental factor of cancer. Researcher Madelon Visintainer took three groups of rats, one receiving mild escapable shock, another group receiving mild in-escapable shock, and the third no shock at all. She then implanted each rat with cancer cells that would normally result in 50% of the rats developing a tumor. Her results were astonishing. Within a month, 50% of the rats not shocked at all had rejected the tumor; this was the normal ratio. As for the rats that mastered shock by pressing a bar to turn it off, 70% had rejected the tumor. But only 27% of the helpless rats, the rats that had experienced in-escapable shock, rejected the tumor. This study demonstrates those who feel there is no way out of their shock / loss are less likely to be able to reject tumors forming within their body, due to high levels of stress weakening the immune system. [Seligman, 1998, p.170]

A study described in the August 2005 issue of the European Journal of Cancer examined longitudinal data regarding psychological factors affecting breast cancer outcomes. Psychological response, including helplessness/hopelessness, fighting spirit, and depression was assessed in early-stage breast cancer patients between 1 and 3 months post-diagnosis, in order to ascertain effect on cancer prognosis. Patients were followed up for a period of 10 years in order to clarify the effect of psychological response on disease outcome. Results indicated that helplessness/hopelessness was a significant variable while the other variables were not. This suggests that those who feel like victims and are unable to experience empowerment when faced with cancer are less likely to recover from the illness than those who feel empowered.

Finally, here is a comment from author Tom Laughlin:

"The secret of healing lies in creating an environment that allows each of us to consciously develop this hidden aspect of the personality, an environment that frees us to live up to our full potential instead of someone else’s expectations..."

The Psychology of Cancer, by Tom Laughlin, Jungian Psychology Researcher

Dr. R.G. Hamer, a German physician, is the creator of what has been labeled the German New Medicine. This model of disease and healing has inspired others to expand upon Hamer's work, leading to the creation of the Biodecoding Institute and the International Meta-Medicine Association. The Hamer paradigm identifies unresolved psychological issues as the triggers for diseases and illness, with the progression of the illness being a natural biological program designed to foster resolution of the issue.


Dr. Hamer's research began with the death of his own son in 1979, after which Dr. Hamer, an internist at a cancer clinic at the University of Munich, developed testicular cancer. He then began to study his patients to understand the causes, progression, and healing process of their cancers.

Dr. Hamer found that every disease process starts with an unexpected shock experience. He established that such a sudden shock affects not only the psyche or mind, but impacts at the same time the part of the brain that corresponds biologically to the specific trauma. Dr. Hamer examined multitudes of brain scans to confirm this correlation. Whether the body responds to the unexpected event with a tumor growth (cancer), with tissue degeneration, or with functional loss, is determined by the exact type of conflict shock. Presently, Dr. Hamer has been able to confirm his findings with over 40,000 case studies.
 

 

 

 

Since according to this model genuine healing can only occur as the conflict is resolved, German New Medicine treatments focus on identifying and resolving the original shock. Conventional diagnostic and treatment approaches can often compound the situation by generating new shocks. This makes the work of German New Medicine practitioners especially challenging, as they must initially re-educate patients about the nature and purpose of disease, and then systematically explore and identify the conflicts that underlie the illnesses seen in their patients. Thus, psychological therapies such as counseling, hypnosis, NLP, family constellation therapy, psychodrama, energy psychology, and other psychotherapeutic and mind-body healing methods may be employed along with physiologically-directed treatments, depending on the individual needs of patients, what stage of the healing process they are in, and what appears most likely to help the individual progress with his/her self-healing.

Dr. Hamer's research with breast cancer has identified 2 basic types of breast cancer. These are breast gland cancers and milk duct cancers. Dr. Hamer's web site offers the following analysis of breast cancers, which can be understood best after first reading the description of the biological laws that Hamer describe as the foundation of German New Medicine:

 

 

CONFLICT CONTENT

 

Breast gland cancer has its relay in the cerebellum and will form compact adenoid tumors that consist of the old mesodermal germ layer. Milk duct cancer has its relay in the cerebral cortex, (the sensory cortex to be more exact) will develop squamous epithelium carcinomas and is derived from the ectodermal germ layer.

These manifestations are in accordance with the rules of laterality. To be more precise, a right handed woman will respond with the left breast if she has a mother-child conflict or a daughter-mother conflict and will respond with the right breast if she has a partner conflict. Her partners include her life’s partner as in husband, a friend, her brother, sister, her father, or even her business partner. The opposite breast will be affected in a left handed woman.

We do not develop either intra-ductal or breast gland cancer without reason. The specific nature or feeling behind the conflict will determine precisely what brain location will receive the impact of the conflict-shock (DHS) and whether it will be the duct or the gland affected.

Breast gland cancer has to do with the woman’s nest in the sense that she has a "worry", "quarrel or argument" going on in her nest. The worry could be over a health concern of a loved one, or even being thrown out of the nest by her mother! The overall issue concerned however is really a separation from a loved one.

Milk duct cancer has quite specifically to do with the conflict of, "my child, mother, or partner has been torn from my breast!" Again it is a separation conflict and the rules of laterality also apply here.

BRAIN LOCATION

 

 

As previously mentioned, each of these cancers have a different histological formation and have their relays in different brain locations.

Since breast gland cancer has it’s origin in the cerebellum, or old brain, the tissue starts to augment from the time of the onset of the actual conflict, and will stop growing as soon as the conflict has been resolved.

In contrast, intra-ductal cancer has it’s origin in the sensory cortex (cerebrum) or new brain and develops ulcers or cell degeneration in the squamous epithelial tissue of the milk duct during the conflict active phase. As soon as the conflict has been resolved, this tissue goes through the repair phase and begins to augment the squamous epithelial cells that will swell and eventually obstruct the milk duct and form a so called tumor. If the manifestation goes unnoticed, the so called tumor will either degrade or calcify and no longer be a concern.

In some cases the entire sensory cortex may be affected in the patient and she may display some very specific skin problems on the inside of her arm, hand, belly and inside leg, if there is a mother-child separation conflict. If she has a partner separation conflict, she could develop skin problems on the outside of her arm, or leg. The side of her body affected will depend on her laterality (left or right handedness).

The biological sense behind these manifestations has to do with where she may sit a child (on her lap), cradle the child (in her arms) according to her laterality, or where a partner is concerned, which side she may use to defend, slap, or push him or her away.

METASTASIS

 

 

If a woman develops a self-devaluation conflict as a result of the original DHS that gave her the breast cancer, or as a result of perhaps a DHS she received with her diagnosis, her lymph glands will most probably also be affected.

The lymph glands originate yet again from another embryonic germ layer (new mesoderm) and therefore also have a completely different brain location for their relay. These tissues behave the same way as the tissue found in the milk ducts and will degenerate during the conflict activity and will regenerate or augment forming a tumor in the resolution phase of the self-devaluation conflict.

Naturally science has observed this and given it the label of "metastasis" for lack of explanation. However Dr. Hamer explains that if a different brain location and a different embryonic germ layer is responsible for the tumor, how can this possibly be observed as metastasis? He maintains that these primary germ layers cannot transform themselves into another germ layer once they are formed in the body.

So what causes metastasis? Dr. Hamer discovered that cancer is initiated by a DHS, (a conflict shock) therefore the progression of cancer or metastasis is dependent on further DHSs.

For example, the shock of having your breast amputated (a disfigurement conflict) can give you a skin cancer on the surgical scars, or a deep self-devaluation conflict (I am less than I was before) can cause bone cancer, the shock of the bone cancer diagnosis can give you a "death fright conflict" resulting in lung cancer because we believe that the cancer is spreading "like wildfire" throughout our body.

Metastasis in the conventional sense cannot exist in view of the discovery of the German New Medicine and the Five Biological Laws.
