The first step is to make the correct diagnosis. People come with a diagnosis of breast cancer, liver matasticies, bone cancer etc but this is only part of the diagnosis, nobody in this case  asks ‘What is the patients psychological background, the exposure to environmental poisons,  the hormonal situation they only look at one or two hormones to semi influence the cancer, where as what these patients need is a balance of hormones.

These are the first steps and then we talk to patients about the treatment, many patients are disappointed after the first session as we are more interested in the person, the patients, how they live their lives, their environment and what they can do themselves. It is also part of our theory that the patient has to become active, has to understand and be involved in the treatment. If the patients is not involved and behaves like he is taught by conventional medicine to keep your mouth shut, give your arm and we will do everything for you, he has to tolerate it and not ask to many things because physicians don’t like it. If patients comes from complimentary treatment most physicians don’t even know what the patient is talking about.

What’s the best thing to do when diagnosed with cancer,  STOP!! Take a breath.

Besides working out what treatment protocol your going to use or which pathway you going to follow, hence we know there are millions of things to choose from on google.

The real question is ‘Where am I out of alignment with my life?’ The cancer the tumor is not just a growth in a particular organ, its an indicator that within the 50 trillion cells of your body, within the neuro transmitters, your energetic body, your physical body, your mind, your emotions something is not serving you. Whether you’re not following your passion, or in the relationship that is right for you or ultimately in the ultimate relationship with yourself, something is not working.

So the journey becomes not one of an external exploration, yes, the treatment process whether that be chemo therapy, radiation, the diet, all of those things become external things that support the physical body to come back into alignment.

But the ultimate question really is connecting with your internal environment connecting with yourself, creating a deeper relationship with yourself, being more yourself.

These are the questions to ask yourself, Where is my passion in life? Why is my body not in alignment? What do I want to live for? When you start to ask these deeper questions I assure you the answers will come to you through the journey forward. It is these deeper insights into the in congruence in your thoughts, emotions and your external world that lead to the source of the physical imbalance in your body, the cancer.

As you create congruence in all aspects of yourself and your life and support this through healthy nutrition and other treatments your body comes back into a state of ease rather than a body that is ill at ease, in dis-ease state.

Those that I have worked with who have embraced being diagnosed with cancer as it as a catalyst for change, often see it as a great gift, an opportunity to expand beyond their limitations.

The first thing to do is to take a thorough history which includes the sort of cancer you have and how it affects your life, any previous illness, medications, allergies, diet and lifestyle factors, a very thorough food history, alcohol intake, smoking, what exercise you do, sleep and what stressors you have in your life. Followed by a basic medical examination, structural osteopathic investigation, Chinese medicine, tongue, pulse and vitality analysis.

Based on the findings from the history and other blood tests and imaging I will approach treatment possibilities on all aspects of what is happening in your life, from a nutrition, life style, stressor approach to optimise a state of wellness.

DO NOT PANIC! Sit back and consider your options. Never run and make a fast decision or do anything which seems forced upon you. Familiarize yourself with the idea, start ding some research and inform yourself.

I usually tell everybody  to STOP!! You see people running, running like crazy after work to fill their obligations in relationship, to maintain  integrity to their family, all the things we keep doing and doing and doing, stressing and running, when something happens, like a disease its quite worth while to see it as a big stop sign. You’ve been going in a direction that is not healthy for your body. Its a matter of taking the immediate  stress off your body. Call  your family and say ‘I need time out, I need some support” and stop doing what you where doing before and change things.

The fear is quite stressful as we say ‘I have to keep going, I have all these things to do, wheres the magic pill?’ But it wont help because the main thing you need to do is go inward and look at your life. And that’s like being two people, one is the acting part and one is the observer from the outside observing yourself from the outside asking

  • ‘How is my life?
  • How is my relationship to nature?
  • How is my work?
  • Hows my relationship to my physical body?
  • What am I actually doing?’

and as soon as you do that, as soon as you come to terms with your relationship to the various aspects of your life and be in stillness, you start to see that this causes me to be at dis-ease. I’m at dis-ease at work, I’m stressed, I’m bullied, I don’t have the self confidence to stand up for myself it’s been causing me tummy aches for the past three years. I’m in a relationship which is very painful, I’ve been eating crap food, start to see yourself and your life as it is instead of keep on running which lead you to this place you’re know living.

We are so used to being stressed and running to keep up that we would rather take a pill and keep going instead of listening to what this disease is trying to tell us.

Disease, and cancer in particular does not grow overnight, nor does it progress overnight. It’s a process which takes years to develop and in 99% of cases which are diagnosed with cancer there is more to be  gained by doing  research, study and gathering information, than in there is in any fast reactive steps.

    Brilliant. No objection. Fully supported. It’s hard but it works. When you do it you can see that cancer does not fall out of mid air. It’s a process which leads to having it, and it’s a process to getting rid of it. But only if you take the time to reflect.

  2. Jenny Grand says:

    When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was not aware that the system had sucked me into the normal medical process. Everything was so standard protocol that I never thought of finding my own solution.
    I guess this is what happens to most.
    Only when you are in a phase where no hope is left, or when the system has made you so sick that cancer seems to be the better option, then you start searching for alternatives.
    Thank you for providing this. It’s a confirmation many will need and a support which makes thinking an alternative way possible.
