The Lesson in Cancer

with  Dr. Andreas M. Demuth

Healing cancer is only possible of we take all levels of our being in to consideration.

Every human being has to discover the true sense of life in their innermost being. And sometimes blows of fate or diseases make us reconsider our answer, and seek to redefine our mission in life. Finding our true purpose in life can release a lot of power that can help us solve whatever problems are facing us.

It is the mission of the Hufeland to continue to develop practical, future-oriented medicine that focuses on the health of the individual. Treatment is aimed at the natural immune system, the reaction and regulation potential, and the “self-healing” powers of each and every individual. They don’t look at disease as an unwelcome and troublesome “on-the-job accident”, something to be removed using any means possible. Disease can be the expression of a number of processes that can be traced back to an inner imbalance between life-affirming and life-harming influences. This imbalance effects every level of human existence, all of which inextricably combine to form a person – body, psyche (feelings), intellect (mind) and the human spirit.

If we can learn not to see disease as a hindrance, as a problem, meltdown or error, and not to connect it with a sense of personal failure, then we can open our eyes to disease as the result of numerous factors, as our body’s way of telling us we need to make changes in our lives. Illness can then be an opportunity for personal development, a time to mature. And acceptance often opens new pathways to healing.

Since there are any number of interfering factors, it can take a while before the effects of support given to the life-affirming healthy side of the individual become visible and perceptible. People suffering from cancer often do not have enough time. This means they must make use of conventional treatment methods such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. An though these methods used in isolation only contribute decisively to healing limited cases, they are often a must for initial treatment, to reduce tumour-related discomfort and increase the time available to a patient. We feel that decision to use such conventional methods should be done more individually and less schematically, including the dosage and period of use of chemotherapy drugs.

Experience has taught us that a patient must be actively involved in therapy right from the start. They must be well informed and make decisions about their bodies and treatment right after diagnosis. This is the only way treatment can lead to personal development. And in fact this individual process of maturation often seems to be more important than the numerous rounds of treatment that a patient passively submits to. Here at the Hufeland Klinik, we see two types of cancer patients who have successfully completed treatment. Some initially chose a purely conventional path (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy and radiation), and then elected to apply holistic immunobiological methods. We also have patients who, perhaps after surgery, rejected conventional methods of further treatment, or for whom treatment of this type was not possible for other reasons, or had to be discontinued.
