    Read article at: http://www.weisenthal.org/scientific_american_pancreatic_cancer_randy_stein.pdf

  * The wife of the person who did this test, later wrote that her husband lived another EIGHT years,  

     instead of his doctor's prediction of dying in 3  months.

     Eight Years, multiplied by 12 months = 96 months.

     Consider: 3 months versus 96 months. That is 32 times more than his doctor told him.

Book Title: KNOCKOUT: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer.  

Author: SUZANNE SOMERS

ISBN: 978-0-307-58759-6

Softcover,   Price of Book $15.00

   This book was first published in October 2009, and it was Number One on the New York Times Bestseller list.

   The author is a popular American writer who has written several books on various health issues. At the present

   time, this book is one of the best books on non-toxic alternative treatments for cancer. The author covers a

   wide spectrum of non-toxic healing therapies for cancer. The main theme of this book is “curing cancer without

   toxicity.”

   See the author interviewed on Television CBS Early Show at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQicB_7KNL8

   To read sample pages of this book go to:  http://books.google.com  -and enter the book title: Knockout.

   In chapter 1 of this book, the author tells you about her outrageous stressful saga, when she was

   brought by her husband to a hospital emergency room, her body covered from head to toe with welts

   and a terrible rash all over her body. She was gasping for air as she could not breathe. Overall, she was

   in utmost physical distress. After stabilizing her somewhat, she gets a CAT scan and is told by the hospital

   oncologist that she has cancer in her lungs, liver, chest, and a blood clot, and pneumonia.  

   The saga and trauma she suffered in the hospital challenges the human mind. On day 4 in the hospital,

   the doctors tell her, she does not have cancer, but that she has either: tuberculosis, or leprosy, or

   valley fever (coccidiomycosis). 

   All of those were false, but the hospital put her into an isolation room and put a security guard at the door

   of her room, to prevent her from leaving the hospital room. She then sent an email to a doctor she knew,

   Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., who emailed her back, “you gotta get out of there” (page 14). Determined to

   get out of the hospital, she is released with some five thousand dollars worth of medicine (page 15),

   and again emails Dr. Jonathan Wright who tells her not to take those medicines. The author writes that she

   was fortunate, because she had prior knowledge of alternative medicine, but feels bad for the average

   Mr. and Mrs. Citizen who, had they been in the same situation, would probably not even question the false

   diagnosis and would take all the chemo drugs as prescribed. 

   Website of Jonathan Wright, M.D. www.TahomaClinic.com

   His Newsletter Website is: http://wrightnewsletter.com/

   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFAzZp0oHiw&feature=relmfu

   or at:  http://integrativeexchange.com/video/suzanne-somers-at-acam-vegas -Expresses her core beliefs

   about cancer. -(The first 3 minutes of this video is the introduction.

   The speech is interesting and runs for approximately 22 minutes.)

   Note: There are some 150,000 ERROR cancer diagnosis in America every year.

   This means, 150,000 people are told by their doctor, that they have cancer and in truth,

   they do NOT have cancer. Second, and Third and even Fourth opinions, make much sense.

   Concerning errors in cancer diagnosis, the wife of a health care professional, was told by her doctor

   that she has cancer. She immediately called her husband, and he contacted a colleague radiologist he knew.

   By just looking at the X-ray, the radiologist told the husband, that the spot on the X-ray is the finger of the

   technician who developed the film. Imagine, without her husband, she would have been started on chemo or

   radiation, and that itself would have made her sick. This episode was related by the husband on the radio.

   If you study the subject of “Placebo” and how strong its effects can be, there is a probable chance that the wife

   would develop every symptom a real cancer patient has, and they would be TRUE symptoms. Such is the

   strength of influence of the human brain and mind. Due to the 150,000 error cancer diagnosis per each year, it

   should be said that all cancer tests and diagnosis, must be confirmed three different times by three different

   independent clinics and doctors. You may be one of those 150,000 people. Think about it.

   See page 167 in this Review Journal, for more on erroneous cancer diagnosis.

   On page 269 of this book, the author writes that when she was in the hospital, she was told by six

   different doctors that she has full body cancer. All six doctors were wrong. 

   In Chapter 2, the author introduces you to three doctors who endeavor to avoid prescribing toxic medicines,

   and who practice integrative / complementary medicine.

   Chapter 3 discusses the great money machine racket of chemo drugs, and criticizes the FDA.

   Chapter 4 is titled: If it Could Happen to Me, What Will Happen to You ? The author writes more about her

   error diagnosis, and how the death sentence given to her in the hospital, by the doctors tore her core apart,

   and why a different path such as alternative non-toxic cancer treatments merit consideration.

   In Chapter 5, the author criticizes the over consumption of Omega-6 oils, such as: sunflower, safflower, corn,

   peanut, vegetable and canola oils. The healthier Omega-3 oils are far better, such as: olive oil, coconut oil, and

   flaxseed oil. MSG is another contributor to unhealthy food preparation. Health problems are also caused by

   artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food coloring, and other man-made gimmicks added to various

   manufactured processed foods.

   Chapter 6 contains 13 pages and some 44 questions (and comments), which the author asked and discussed

   with Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D, author of several excellent books on cancer. Dr. Moss says that there is an unfair

   standard applied when the FDA evaluates alternative cancer therapies. The standards set for conventional

   therapies are allowed to be “altered and modified,” whereas when the FDA evaluates alternative cancer

   therapies, they apply more stringent and unfair standards. For a prime example of this massive bias,

   see page 51 in this book, regarding Avastin, approved for brain and breast cancer. (For negative news on

   Avastin see page 123 in this Review Journal.)

   Another example is, Gemzar approved for pancreatic cancer. He also says that each person and their specific

   cancer, has to be evaluated on an individual basis. Note: Oncologists commonly give specific chemo drugs for

   specific cancers, and ignore chemosensitivity testing.

   See pages 184 - 208 in this Review Journal, for detailed information on chemosensitivity testing.

   For example see:

   www.WeisenthalCancer.com    -and-   www.weisenthal.org   -and-   www.CancerTest.org   -and-

   http://weisenthal.org/Human_Tumor_Assay_Journal/FAQ.html

   published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, “Adriamycin is ineffective in up to 92 percent

   of women to whom it was given” (page 48). The big question is, how did it ever get through the F.D.A.

   “approval process” ?

   While people may express shock, it should come as no surprise to anyone. Consider the following comments

   by the illustrious Marcia Angell, M.D.

   Dr. Marcia Angell, M.D., former editor of the conventional doctor’s medical journal, The New England Journal of

   Medicine, and author of book title: The Truth About The Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us And What

   To Do About It. (ISBN: 0-375-50846-5, Hardcover, $24.95. Note: The Softcover edition has

   ISBN: 0-375-76094-6, and is listed at $15.95) The following is quoted from the dust jacket cover of the

   hardcover edition. “Drug companies have substantial control over clinical trials of their drugs. There is good

   reason to believe that much of the company supported research on prescription drugs is biased as a result.”

   Another quote “The pharmaceutical industry has an iron-grip on Congress and the White House. It has the

   largest lobby in Washington - with more than there are elected representatives in Congress…”

   On page 198 in her book, Dr Marcia Angell writes, that in 1992 there were 675 lobbyists in Washington, with

   salaries or fees amounting to a total of more than 91 million dollars. Also in 1992, the pharmaceutical trade

   association known as PhRMA had 120 employees with a budget of 14 million dollars, of the 91 million

   mentioned. Of these 675 lobbyists, 26 were former members of Congress and 342 of the lobbyists, were

   either previously congressional staff members or somehow connected to the government.

   It is fair to say there is more honesty in any baseball, football, or hockey game, because it is played openly

   in front of thousands of people and you cannot lobby the Umpires (Judges). Whereas, with pharmaceutical

   companies, everything happens behind closed doors. So the average Mr. and Mrs. Innocent Citizen and their

   children, are hoodwinked and put over the barrel for a solid merciless whipping for greed, money, and

   nonsense. Furthermore, the money involved in chemo drugs is stupendous. Consider, a doctor has four ways

   to earn big money when prescribing chemo drugs.

     1). He buys the chemo drugs wholesale and sells it to the patient (paid by the insurance company) at a

           retail markup.

     2). The drug companies run “monthly special sales” for specific chemo drugs. So in that month, the doctor

           prescribes the chemo drugs bought at the special discount.

     3). The doctor receives a fee from the chemo drug company, to lecture or give a presentation about a specific

           chemo drug, and is compensated handsomely by the drug company.

     4). The doctor also bills the insurance company for the office visit, where the chemo drug was administered,

           including fees for the consultation. 

       Dr. Evan S. Levine, M.D. in his book titled: What Your Doctor Won’t (or Can’t) Tell You: The Failures of

       American Medicine – and How to Avoid Becoming A Statistic. (ISBN: 0-425-20008-6, Softcover, $14.00)

       writes about this same corruption. On page 117, Dr. Levine writes “Oncologists are given a special privilege:

       they can not only order drugs, specifically chemotherapy drugs, but they can also dispense and bill for them…”

       He writes that the Oncologist can bill with a multiple markup of the original cost of the Chemo drugs.

   All the money tied into chemo drugs, doctors, and hospitals, corrupts the motive and objectivity to examine

   natural non-toxic healing methods. Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D is a leading advocate for “objective evaluation” of

   all cancer therapies, regardless of the name by which they are called, be it any of the various names:

   conventional, alternative, complementary / integrative. The Website of Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D is at:

   www.CancerDecisions.com

  ***

   Chapter 7 contains an interview with Dr. Stanislaw R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. He uses non-toxic Antineoplastonss.

   Among the various cancers he treats, the most consistent successes are with: brain, head and neck, prostate,

   breast, lungs, ovaries, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and colon. Compared to the currently (as of 2009)

   FDA approved 25 different gene-targeted drugs, Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons work on some 100 different

   cancer genes (page 65). This is four times more than the conventional 25 gene-targeted drugs mentioned earlier

   in this book. In other words, the 25 different gene-targeted drugs can work at a maximum, on 25 different

   cancer genes. Whereas, Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons can work on some 100 different cancer genes, plus

   the great added benefit that Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons are non-toxic, and will not poison any healthy

   cells in the person's body. No Hospitalizaion is required.  

   When treating any person with Antineoplastons, the effectiveness and success of Burzynski's Antineoplastons

   depends on the individual patient's cancer genes. If the patient's cancer genes match to any of Burzynski's pool

   of 100 Antineoplastons cancer genes, then his Antineoplastons will be effective. If the individual person's cancer

   gene(s) do not match with any of Burzynski's 100 different Antineoplastons, the person is given a blood test and

   based on the results, is given between 4 and 6 different gene-targeted drugs, selected from the generally

   available 25 gene-targeted conventional FDA approved cancer drugs. Dr. Burzynski says that when using this

   method, he has an 85 percent response rate (page 66). So the treatment is personalized on an individual basis

   as much as possible.

   Concerning the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutated breast cancer genes found in several populations Worldwide,

   Dr. Burzynski's Antineoplastons have a better chance of being effective on these genes. Whereas conventional

   medicine has no cure for these mutated cancer genes (page 66).

   Dr. Burzynski‘s Antineoplastons do not require hospitalization.

   ***

   Chapter 8 contains an interview with Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. His therapy is discussed on

   pages 63 - 66, in this Review Journal under the heading of Pancreatic Cancer.

   See clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQicB_7KNL8  where the author says, Dr. Gonzalez gave her

   the names of 10 patients with Pancreatic cancer Stage 4 with 10 years survival.

   See Blog at:  http://www.suzannesomers.com/Blog/category/Cancer.aspx  where

   Drs. Gonzalez and Burzynski discuss bias.

   ***

   Chapter 9 contains an interview with Dr. James Forsythe, M.D. Due to current laws, when a cancer patient

   comes to Dr. Forsythe, he must first offer, standard conventional chemo / radiation services. Only after they

   tell him, that they refuse conventional standard treatments, can he offer the patient his protocols.

   On page 123 in this book, Dr. Forsythe quotes an article from the journal, Clinical Oncology,

   (December 2004 issue, Volume 16, Number 8, Pages 549-560) that people taking cytotoxic (chemo) drugs

   have a 2.1 percent chance of surviving after five years.

   This article refers to 22 major adult malignancies, and the 2.1 percent refers to the estimate in the USA.

   In Australia it is 2.3 percent. Article titled: The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in

   Adult Malignancies. Written by, G. Morgan, R. Ward, M. Barton.

   Abstract is at Website:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15630849   The complete article is available at

   Website:  http://www.scribd.com/doc/6480553/Chemotherapy-Morgan-Et-Al-05 

   Dr. Mileshkin said, if more cancers were included the numbers would be higher. But the article and data remains

   as is. This number is stupendous and horrifying, pointing to the failure of the “War on Cancer.” Dr. Forsythe

   says, he sometimes uses Insulin Potentiation therapy together with low-dose chemotherapy. The chemo drug

   toxicity is less, when given with Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT).

   For more on IPT, see page 102 in this Review Journal.

   Another therapy used by Dr. Forsythe is a Homeopathic remedy called Salicinium, also known as

   “Chinese Aspirin.” The chemical within Salicinium is, glycol-benzaldehyde, and he claims he has records of

   350 patients, all with Stage 4 cancer, who are doing quite well after four years on Salicinium.

   For prostate cancer patients, he has an 85 percent response rate, and his breast cancer patients responded

   quite well too. For more information on Salicinium, search at:  www.Google.com  -Search word:  Salicinium.

   The Salicinium used by Dr. Forsythe was first discovered by a professor of chemistry and is marketed by,

   Perfect Balance Company. Diet is also a big factor, and there are certain restrictions which his patients must

   observe. Before giving chemo drugs, Dr. Forsythe uses a blood test to do a chemosensitivity test.

   This test will let him know which specific chemo drug(s) will work most effectively for that individual person.

   His opinion is, that a patient should not succumb to a negative prognosis from an oncologist, but rather get

   a second opinion from an alternative doctor. (The power of your beliefs are rather enormous. See review

   of book title: Head First: The Biology of Hope and The Healing Power of the Human Spirit, on page 305 in

   this Review Journal.) He also encourages stress reduction, diet changes, exercise, even if it is mild exercise.

   At the end of this chapter, three patients treated by Dr. Forsythe tell their own story, about their personal

   experience they had with Dr. Forsythe’s approach. First is a woman with Stage IV breast cancer, second is

   a man with Stage IV prostate cancer (originally diagnosed in 1996 with a PSA of 71.5) The third, is a woman

   with a large cell carcinoma lung cancer Stage IV, surviving as of the writing of this book, for some nine years.

   When first diagnosed, she was told by her conventional oncologist, that she has six months to live.

   CTC – Circulating Tumor Cells Test.

   This test is also known as: Chemo Sensitivity Testing via a Blood Test.

   The CTC test requires only a blood sample of the person. However, Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D in his book titled:

   Customized Cancer Treatment, (ISBN: 978-1-881025-01-6, on pages 185-199), is critical of using a person’s

   blood to do Chemo Sensitivity Testing. However, for leukemia, a blood sample should be good enough,

   because the cancer cells are in the blood. Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D claims that live tissue obtained via biopsy yields

   more accurate results. (The review of this book appears on page 185 in this Review Journal.)

   CTC = Circulating Tumor Cells Blood Test, has been perfected. You may be able to avoid a biopsy, which is

   an invasive procedure.

   Dr. Forsythe and PolyMva.

   Dr. Forsythe is conducting research and a clinical trial of Poly-MVA, a nutritional supplement.

   His results obtained with some Stage IV lung cancers and other cancers are very significant.

   In some situations, complete and partial remissions were obtained. It is noteworthy and rather

   significant that his work with Poly-MVA has been praised by another doctor as well. See his

   Chapter 10 contains an interview with Dr. Julie Taguchi, M.D. A mainstream conventional oncologist, who

   is conducting a study of 55 women (out of 100+) who choose to use Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement,

   instead of chemo drugs, to prevent recurrence of their breast cancer. Six out of the 55 women developed

   more cancer and required other treatments. See also page 25 in this book about this study.

   Chapter 11 contains an interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., who places great emphasis on nutrition.

   He also talks about DCIS (Ductal  Carcinoma In-Situ) and he says that “in most cases this never

   metastasizes, never invades” (page 149). (Note: Other medical healthcare profssionals do not agree

   with Dr. Blaylock. He talks about the radiation absorbed when getting a mammogram, especially by

   women who have a mutation in their gene, BRCA1 or BRCA2, which then causes their body to be unable

   to repair the radiation absorbed when getting a mammogram. He claims that most doctors doing

   mammograms do not understand “radiation biology.” This is a double trap for women who have a family

   history of breast cancer, –who are told, to have frequent mammograms, and the mammogram itself is

   what brings about an aggressive cancer later on.

   On the subject of radiation see the following. Regarding X-rays and Mammograms,

   John W. Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. (Ph.D, in Nuclear-Physical Chemistry and was a Medical Doctor.) claimed that

   modern X-rays are the cause of 75 percent of breast cancers. This is a stunning claim. For a wealth of

   Dr. Blaylock thinks, an MRI or Thermography are better choices than a mammogram. He maintains that in

   cases where breast cancer is present, it should be removed with a lumpectomy, but no radiation and no

   chemo should be used. After the lumpectomy, the person should treat it with nutrition. Note, nutrition is

   not as simple as it sounds, because it means staying away from all junk foods and being fully committed

   to a vigorous healthy nutritional program and lifestyle. For breast cancer screening with Thermography

   and the claimed science behind it, search at:  www.Google.com  -Search terms: 

   Thermography + breast screening.

   For the legal-medical limitations of Thermography see:  http://www.breastthermography.org/ 

   Dr. Blaylock says that as people age, the best cancer prevention is by taking Vitamin D3, and that with good

   nutrition, a tumor will become benign (inactive). Good nutrition also means no sugar and no artificial

   sweeteners. For more information on Vitamin D3 see:  www.vitamindcouncil.org 

   Blaylock also says, when the body develops resistance to chemo drugs, it can be reversed by natural

   supplements, such as, indole-3-carbinol, turmeric and flavonoids.

   For Indole-3-carbinol, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

   Dr. Blaylock claims that if a cure for cancer would be found, it would cause the loss of billions

   of dollars to the cancer industry, and he believes this is precisely why a cure is not found.  

   Blaylock says there is a controversy among Oncologists whether breast cancer

   DCIS = Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ would spread or not spread. The same applies to prostate cancer.

   Yet in Blaylock’s opinion, these cancers are over treated with chemo, surgery, and radiation.

   Regarding prostate cancer, “Watchful waiting” is a controversial matter.

   Blaylock is opposed to eating soy as a health food, and says it actually stimulates Aromatose, which is

   a bad thing for cancer patients. See page 160 in the book as to which foods are highly desirable,

   and what not to eat.

     In 1983 the American Cancer Society put Dr. Burzynski’s Antineoplastons on their “unproven

     methods” list. On November 20, 1995 the Federal Drug Administration filed 75 criminal charges

     against Dr. Burzynski, including charges for introducing a new drug into interstate commerce

     (illegal to ship his non-toxic Antineoplastons drugs outside the state of Texas), and violating

     the order of a judge, and insurance fraud. The government did not contest the claimed

     effectiveness of Burzynski’s Antineoplastons. his book details the charges, trial, testimony,

     and acquittal of Dr. Burzynski.

     Personal stories of several patients of Dr. Burzynski are also recounted in this book, such as:

     Tori Moreno, Pam Winningham, Theresa Kennet, Chryssie Schiff –a very young child with brain

     cancer, Randy Goss Zachary McConnell, Mary Jo Siegel, Thomas Wellborn, and Michael Curtis.

     For a child who was denied Dr. Burzynski’s treatment for brain cancer by government authorities

     and then died, see Website:  www.ouralexander.org  The parents of this child are suing the

     government, so that other people in the future will have the right of free choice. See Website:

     www.ouralexander.org/chemo.htm 

     On March 24, 1995 Dr. Burzynski appeared on the CBS Television Program called THIS MORNING,

     With three of his patients who were diagnosed as terminal, and after being treated by Dr. Burzynski,

     were still alive and functioning. The names of the patients who appeared with Dr. Burzynski are:

     Neal Dublinsky, Mary Jo Siegel, and Pamella Wingingham.

     On April 4, 1996 Dr. Burzynski appeared on the CBS news program 48 HOURS, again with some of

     his patients. This book is written in defense of Dr. Burzynski and seriously criticizes the Federal

     Drug Administration. The book also illustrates cases of specific individuals, who were harmed as a

     result of not being informed by their doctor, of Dr. Burzynski’s  method of  treatment.

     In 2010 a movie was released about Dr. Burzynski. Website:  www.BurzynskiMovie.com

Book Title: YOU DON’T HAVE TO DIE FROM CANCER -TAKING ACTIVE CHARGE

Author: ABRAHAM KHAZAM, M.D.

ISBN: 0-85572-266-5

Softcover,   Price of Book $14.95

Review:

   Dr. Khazam studied medicine in Holland and graduated in Amsterdam. Later he moved to Australia

   where he wrote this profound book. Being a psychiatrist, he maintains that cancer works itself up to

   become an emotional deadly disease, where the toxic emotions of the patient do more harm to the

   person, than the cancer itself, because the emotions become so toxic and vicious like an hypnotic

   instruction to die. Dr. Khazam claims that it is a psychogenic death (Psychogenic = stemming from the

   emotional mind.) similar to a voodoo death. In cases where the patient dies, it is also because the person

   has been so demoralized because they “believe” they will die, (even if medically they can actually

   survive and live) which then becomes so overpowering, similar to combat fatigue. (Combat fatigue

   meaning: the soldier is dead tired and exhausted and simply chooses to give up by surrendering,

   rather than keep on fighting.) 

   This book contains four parts. Part One is titled: The Diagnosis, and is divided into four chapters 

   covering the topics of: How and why the stress of being diagnosed with cancer affects the body,

   particularly when a Doctor tells a patient that the diagnosis is cancer and the patient then asks the 

   Doctor “How long do you think I have, Doctor ?” And the Doctor answers “You have six months”

   -(Both, the question and the Doctor’s answer ARE THE DEATH Sentence. Herein lies the devil itself !)

   The author maintains that by asking such a question, it means the person has accepted a death sentence

   and now the rest is only a negotiation, -the person is only “bargaining for time” ! How many weeks or

   months etc.! But the death sentence is already an established fact emotionally in the person’s mind.

   The result of this great mistake is the actual cause of many unnecessary deaths, perhaps even more than

   the cancer itself –which would not kill the patient. (Back to the patient: If you make your doctor into a

   god, you have a false god, and not a doctor.) In the words of the author “What I am saying is this: you

   don’t have to die from cancer…The death becomes almost a certainty, because Mr. TCF = (Typical

   Cancer Patient) keeps actively working on it until it takes effect. And he does not even know this,

   because it takes place in his emotional mind” (Page 31). Dr. Khazam deserves credit for bringing

   this important life issue to the fore, and as a Psychiatrist he knows from whence he speaks.

   Additional chapters in Part One include: The Demoralized patient goes home and Battle Fatigue, in  

   which the author, as a Psychiatrist points to the utterly destroyed, unmet, untreated, emotional mental

   state of the patient and the conflicts and problems which arise with close family members and loved

   ones. How does life go back to normal after a diagnosis ?

   In Part Two of this book, the author discusses the biology of cancer, and the biology of stress, and how

   stress weakens the body, and then how stress weakens the immune system and the entire human body.

   Part Three of this book is titled: The Psychology of Cancer, in which the author presents his viewpoints

   very clearly, such as: when a person feels hopelessly trapped without seeing light at the end of the

   tunnel. This hopelessness will affect the person biologically and not only mentally or emotionally. The

   author writes that Hope is not a psychological luxury, but rather it is a basic ingredient of emotional

   health. 

   Part Four of this book is titled: Healing, and it contains 18 chapters. The author writes that people with 

   cancer who do better, are usually those who possess the following personality traits:

   1). They adopt and maintain a fighting spirit.

   2). Are able to verbalize and express their hostility and anger when other people bother them. Being the

         perpetual “nice person”, and swallowing everything from everyone every time is not healthy.

   3). They have low levels of anxiety and depression.

Book Title: THE HEALING JOURNEY

Author: ALASTAIR J. CUNNINGHAM, Ph.D

ISBN: 1-55263-107-9

Softcover,   Price of Book $14.95  (Published in Canada $19.95)

Review:

   The author, Alastair J. Cunningham, Ph.D is a senior scientist at the Ontario

   Cancer Institute and a professor of Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto,

   clinical co-director of the Wellspring Centre and a member of the Institute for the

   Advancement of Health and the Society for Behavioural Medicine.

   He has Ph.D degrees in both cell biology and psychology, with over 35 years’ experience

   in cancer-related research. During the late 1980’s Dr. Cunningham developed cancer and

   proceeded to explore the various dimensions of psychology by which  the mind of the

   person can be empowered, so that the person can actively participate and help in their own

   healing. –IF they so choose to do so.

   Dr. Cunningham comes from the mainstream conventional school of thought, but as a

   true scientist, kept an open mind with which he explored the further reaches of the human

   mind and how it may influence medicine and healing. This is an emerging field known also

   as, Psycho-Oncology, which is not limited to exact definitions at the present time.

   Chapter 2 is titled: The Biology of Cancer, in which the author explains scientifically, how

   cancer grows into a tumor. In Chapter 3 the author discusses conventional treatments such

   as: chemo drugs, radiation, and surgery. In Chapter 4 the author presents a very enlightening

   and critical discussion on alternative cancer treatments, by logically arguing that “many are

   contradictory, they can’t all be valid; for example, diets based on cooked grains, and others

   insisting that all food must be consumed raw, are at loggerheads.” -(page 57). Furthermore,

   there is such a wide choice of alternatives, and if any single one of them had been totally

   correct, all other alternative therapies would have (or should have) disappeared, because the

   truth would have finally come out. So why is there such a wide selection of alternatives and

   there are no defined and proven therapies ? And the author is absolutely right in asking the

   above questions. And likewise, let the question be expanded to conventional chemo drugs.

   Why are there so many different possibilities in using different chemo drugs and their various

   combinations, for the same cancer ? Is the prescribing of chemo drugs a precise defined exact

   science or is there room for conjecture, hypothesis, assumption or speculation ?

   Chemo drugs are very toxic and ought not be left to anything other than precise defined exact

   science. (See Part Three of this Review where Chemosensitivity testing is discussed

   and yet few Oncologists advise their patients of this option. And there is ample science in

   Chemosensitivity testing, yet it is ignored with an ignorance and an arrogance unbecoming to

   medicine and science.)

   Topics in Chapter 5 include: What you need to do in order to start healing from within yourself,

   A brief overview of the science of mind on cancer healing, Using your mind to help you in your fight

   against cancer, Why has Western Medicine not used psychological intervention as part of its

   mainstream approach to cancer treatment.

   In Chapter 6 the author discusses the power of the human mind and how it can, and actually does

   affect the body of a person in a profound manner. Additional topics include: The role of willpower

   in self healing, Getting active and taking personal responsibility for your health -(some people may

   resent this concept, because they feel that they have no self power for any one, or more reasons.

   Perhaps one of them being the utter need, desire, and willingness to be a “helpless victim.”)

   Chapter 9 is titled: Getting Connected, where several different levels of, states of mind are

   discussed. Chapter 10 is titled: Healing as a Search for Meaning, where the author writes about

   “Does cancer have meaning ?” and How to get in touch with your own unique inner knowledge.

   Towards the end of this book, there is an in depth discussion on how to Meditate, Relax, Do

   mental imagery, also more commonly known as, Visualization. Spirituality and Existentialism are

   also discussed. *** Read the complete review of this book, after you download this Review.

Brief Introduction.

Stress can be considered a contributing factor to illness. When a person is under stress, their body releases damaging

hormones. Even mild exercise helps the body rid itself of these damaging hormones. Likewise, meditation, relaxation,

music, art, and several other enjoyable activities helps the body to attain improved and better health. Therefore, when a

person engages in any type of relaxation, they are helping their body to recover their health. For some people it may

work faster and for some people it may take more time. But relaxation is well worth all the effort put into it.

misunderstood her diagnosis as being terminal, when in truth it was not and yet the patient died the same day.

You must pay attention to all the thoughts which you believe in, because your thoughts and fears become your

reality. 

This book is outstanding, a goldmine of excellent information and techniques. Highly recommended and will

benefit all who read it. The criticism on this book is the title. Being such an excellent book it cannot be defined

Audio-Cassette Title: THE ART OF BREATHING AND CENTERING

Author/Narrator: GAY HENDRICKS, Ph.D

ISBN: 0-940687-89-5

Running Time: Approximately 1 Hour,   Price of Audio $10.95

Review:

This audio program is highly recommended. Side One contains information on breathing properly, and the

inherent health benefits involved in breathing properly. Side Two contains 4 different breathing exercises,

accompanied by soft soothing music. During the breathing exercises, Dr. Hendricks consistently cautions,

“Always Stay In The Comfort Zone.” A 32 Page Booklet is enclosed with this audio cassette. In one of the

four breathing exercises on this audio, Dr. Hendricks guides the listener with instructions, on how to breathe

through a panic attack. His basic idea is, that the person should acknowledge the panic itself, -and then breathe

through it, until they reach a level of comfort where the panic is gone or resolved.

If a person knows WHY they are panicking, they should bring this reason or emotion to their consciousness, and

acknowledge it, -and then breathe through it, until the panic is gone or resolved. This audio cassette program is

excellent and is highly recommended. This audio program may also be bought at a discount at:  www.amazon.com

Book Title: CONSCIOUS BREATHING

Author: GAY HENDRICKS, Ph.D

ISBN: 0-553-37443-5

Softcover,   Price of Book $13.95

Review:

Topics covered include: 12 questions to ask yourself about your own breathing, Wellbeing of Mind, Body and

Spirit. Three foundation lessons in conscious breathing, Opening space in your body for deeper breathing,

Breathing into a state of profound relaxation, Breathing for the release of trauma, Conscious breathing for

asthma and other respiratory problems. The book contains numerous diagrams illustrating the positions and

breathing techniques.

Basic Breathing Concepts:

Look at an infant and you will observe that every healthy infant breathes into their belly. When a person is

aggravated or is in a general state of stress, their breathing becomes shortened and they “chest breathe.”

Chest breathing means, taking shorter and more frequent breaths. To return to the original state of healthy breathing,

take full in-breaths and watch your stomach rise during the in-breath. Do NOT overdo in-breathing and do NOT

overdue out-breathing. At ALL times, the person must feel comfortable.

If any technique causes you discomfort in any way, it is a message from your body that you are doing something wrong.

With regard to pain, take an in-breath, and for the purpose of concentration, close your eyes and make believe

that you are sending the oxygen from your in-breath, to the place in your body where you feel the pain. –Again,

you must feel comfortable during this breathing exercise. Depending on your level of experience, you should

feel a change within a few minutes. 

As an aside, it should be pointed out, that many women also use breathing techniques during childbirth. This is

known as The Lamaze Method. When a person uses any breathing method which causes them dizziness or causes

them any other discomfort, it is a serious message from their body, that they are doing something wrong, and that they

should NOT use that particular breathing method. It is very important to listen to your body’s messages.

Before you begin any breathing exercises, or any physical exercises always check with your doctor before you begin.

     aspects of cancer and healing. So that the human being is recognized as having a soul, and there is more to

     healing besides the physical part of the person. In healing, it may be wise and prudent to address the mind,

     emotions, feelings, spirit, and personality of each patient on an individual basis. Before Western Medicine

     attempts to laugh this off as nonsense, it ought to observe and examine it carefully. Many physicians have done

     their own observations and examinations and came away with new insights and as better doctors.

      sunshine, this book may bring it in. Tens of thousands of cancer patients have had access to this little book.

      It has gone through at least six printings. The author passed away in 2007. She outlived her doctor’s death

      sentence by some fifteen years. She left a legacy of encouragement and inspiration for many people

.         

An optimistic personality is beneficial to all. It means the sun will come out tomorrow and that tomorrow will be

a good or better day. The glass is always half full, the sky is not falling and hopefully tomorrow can be a better day.

The World is not ending, and social security will continue paying you your monthly payments.

There will be food in the refrigerator and the world is not being destroyed. One person described hope as follows.

Every tiny bit of hope and encouragement counts and adds up. As each tiny bit of hope and encouragement adds

up, you build up more and more, and soon you have an accumulation which is quite significant.

and the basic human instincts which can get out of control, leading to unhealthy unnecessary anxiety, fear and panic.

Frequently, there is a money motive to promote public fear or panic, so that the people en masse will be motivated to

The subtitle of this book is: Letters of Hope and Inspiration from Survivors of Breast Cancer.

The editor of this book is a medical sociologist. This little book came about as a result of several articles on breast cancer,

which appeared in McCall's magazine, October 1993 issue. In sum total, there are 72 letters printed in this book, written

by women from different walks of life, all ages, and different places. Each woman tells her own story from her unique

experience, and what her personal journey was. Many write about their struggles, worries, panic, fears, anxiety, concerns,

coping, and their personal  journey through breast cancer until they reached their place of cure and healing.

they reached their personal point in cure and healing.

and reconstruction. Many also wrote about their family and friends who offered support and help, and how other people

were there for them in their time of need.

The editor quotes Harriet Beecher Stowe “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, 'til it seems

as though you could not hold on a moment longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will

Review:

survivor, and wrote this book to tell other people, what to say, and what not to say when talking with people

who are fighting cancer. The power of words are enormous. When in doubt, what or if to say something, the

best rule is “silence.” There is another chance (in most situations) to say it after thinking it over, but once you

speak, your words cannot be taken back. Despite the fact that you mean well, your words can hurt other people.

That is why silence is golden. So be careful before you start talking, and focus on what you say to others before

you start talking. This book contains 20 chapters. Among the topics covered in this book are:

  2). I like to hear success stories, not horror stories.

  3). I am terrified. I need you to listen to me and let me cry.

  4). Asking my permission can spare me pain.

  5). I need to forget and then laugh.      

  6). I need to feel hope.

  7). Telling me to think positively can make me feel worse.

  8). I want you to trust my judgment and my treatment decisions.

  9). I want compassion and comfort, not pity or advice.

10). I am more than my cancer, treat me kindly, not differently.  

11). If you wish to help me, then offer your help to me, before I have to ask for it.

12). Having me in mind in your thoughts means much to me.

13). Please realize that my moods change often, so if I say something to you, forgive me immediately.

14). Don't tell me the good things I can learn from having cancer. Realize that I feel bad about having it.

15). Am not interested in your theory why I got cancer, so don't tell me your theory.

16). If I don't take your phone call, don't ever get insulted or feel bad. Sometimes, I have to be alone for myself.

17). If you are my caregiver, give care to yourself too, so that you stay healthy and strong too.

18). Don't ask if I am cured and to what degree, those questions can annoy me lots.

A Note on Crying it Out.

Someone once said, there are certain emotional painful things in life which must be cried out before healing can

start. Crying it out (can be in private alone, or to a loved one in confidence) may be the starting point of regaining

calmness, serenity, inner peace, stabilization, tranquility, and healing. Each person is different and unique in their

approach, and there are thousands of different approaches. You have to allow each person to do it in their own way.

So if you wish to help a person to heal, just tell them you are there for them in any way they wish.

Regarding males and crying, one man put it this way, “Men who are boys don’t cry, but real men can and do. They are

strong enough to cry it out. It heals quite much.”

Essiac A Native Herbal Cancer Remedy, page 65, in the name of Dr. Bernie Siegel, M.D., written by Cynthia Olsen.

This book is reviewed on page 100 in this Review Journal. Bernie S. Siegel, M.D. is quoted as saying that between 15 and

20 percent of patients really want to survive –meaning they will do everything necessary to live, -no excuses. Whereas

between 50 and 60 percent of patients say “Doctor, You fix me and you heal me” -This too does not work that well

because YOU got to want to BE WELL YOURSELF. No other person can “FIX” your life for you. Healing also involves

the dynamic of a, “do-it for yourself” program, and some 20 percent of patients just want to die, These numbers are

approximate, but very sobering.

Book Title: CANCER AS A TURNING POINT

Author: LAWRENCE LeSHAN, Ph.D

ISBN: 0-452-27137-1

Softcover,   Price of Book $12.95

Review:

The author is a Psychotherapist who has worked with cancer patients for some 40 years. Among the topics covered are:

The research and relationship between the mind and body in people with cancer, Using psychology to mobilize and/or to

enhance the weakened immune system. Dr. LeShan has much to say about the numerous psychological factors involved

in cancer, as well as, how people communicate with their spouses, other family members and their Oncologist, Surgeon,

and other Doctors.

Chapter 4 is titled: How To Survive in a Hospital, in which the author emphasizes the need to treat a patient as a total

human being, who has many different and varying emotional needs, aside from the cancer itself. There is a great need

for effective human-to-human communication, between the patient and doctors, nurses, and all other medical staff.

The author cites many different situations where he witnessed the insensitivity of the hospital staff. Generally, the

hospital follows a “one size fits all” approach. Frequently, this can cause great discomfort and emotional upheaval

to the patient. Quite often, when a person decides against a certain procedure in the hospital, they call their on-staff

psychiatrist or psychologist to speak with the patient. This implies that there is something “wrong” with the patient.

In Chapter 5, the author discusses issues of despair and frustrations which people have in their line of work and in

their personal lives. When these issues are not satisfactorily resolved, they can lead to illness. The author also

discusses the concept of Holistic Health, this means: the mind, mental, emotional, psychological, philosophical,

personality components, and including the physical body of the person –has to be in a general state of good health,

in harmony and in balance.

Additional topics include: Minimizing the burnout factor for parents, spouses, children, siblings, and other family

members and friends. Dealing with a person who is dying. Different types of meditation for change and growth.

Exercises to help you discover deeper meaning in your general outlook on life. The book also contains a brief

Afterword from the author, and a Resource Directory for further reading.

The author has worked in this field for many years and during this time, he had his own personal professional run-ins

with other medical professionals, which in effect gave the author a great advantage to be able to see for himself, the

broad spectrum of, how many cancer patients are treated and mistreated emotionally. He saw both: the good and the

bad, and therefore he was able to gain a broad perspective in dealing (and solving) many of these problems.

It is quite apparent that Dr. LeShan is a sensitive person and this quality brought him into great conflict with hospital

staff when he started his work. He could not grasp why the intrinsic personal emotional needs of patients were not met,

on an individual personalized basis for each individual patient. The necessity to meet the patient on their own personal

individual terms are expressed very well in this book. Meeting the personal emotional needs of each patient on their own

unique personal terms is a contributing factor to the emotional well-being of the patient, and may help with recovery or

at least the alleviation of pain and suffering.

See also Dr. LeShan’s Website:  www.CancerAsATurningPoint.org

If you like Dr. LeShan’s message in his book, you can also watch a Video, in which Dr. LeShan discusses his concepts

in psychotherapy in helping people with cancer. Basically, he focuses on the psychological idea of working with the

person to find out “what’s right with them” as opposed to working to find out “what’s wrong with them.” In this Video,

Dr. LeShan encourages people with cancer “to find their song.” In other words: to fully live their own life, to play their

own symphony, to march to their own inner drummer, to listen to their inner personal calling. According to Dr. LeShan,

many people classified as terminal actually recovered when using this approach.

Book Title: THE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO CANCER

Author: IAN C. B. PEARCE, BA, BM, B.Ch, MRCS, LRCP.

ISBN: 0-85207-211-2

Softcover,   Price of Book $11.95

Review:

    An interesting book in which the author maintains that Traditional Medicine persists in fighting the

    tumor as a disease in its own right and all focus is exclusively on tumor destruction. Whereas according

    to the opinion of the author, cancer is a dis-ease of the whole Person - Spirit, Mind and Emotions.

    The author encourages the patient to obtain healing from all available resources, such as healing the

    Spirit, Mind, Emotions, Attitude, and Outlook of the Patient. At the same time, the author points out

    that the Holistic approach to the healing of cancer is not to be considered as an alternative to the

    methods of traditional medicine. 

    Among the topics covered are: The Holistic Approach to Cancer, Meditation and Counseling, 

    Working with the Holistic Approach, Cancer as a Transformation Experience, Nutrition and

    Detoxification of Cancer Patients, Some Guidelines on Forming and Running a Cancer Support

    Group, Future Prevention.

    Appendix A discusses ways to avoid cancer.

    Appendix B contains Technical Information regarding diet.

    Appendix C Dietary Supplements - Information regarding Vitamins, such as to avoid taking

                         Vitamin E in Hormone Sensitive tumors – e.g. in breast cancer.

    Appendix D contains 28 pages of excellent recipes. 

    The end of the book contains a 3 page postscript and 4 pages of notes. This is a good book.

    This book was published in England by: The C. W. Daniel Company LTD. 1 Church Path, Saffron

     Walden, Essex, CB1O 1JP, England.

    The former Honorary General Secretary of New Approaches to Cancer (the organization which promoted this book),

    was Mr. Colin Ryder Richardson, himself a cancer survivor. According to a newspaper account, he attributes his

    cancer to early childhood trauma, when at the young age of 10, he was sent to Canada during World War Two, and

    the ship he was on, The Benares, was torpedoed and sunk by the Germans. (The story about this boat is told in a

    book titled: Children of the Doomed Voyage, written by Janet Menzies. (ISBN: 978-0-470-01887-3,  Hardcover,

    214 pages, Published in October 2005.) For some 20 hours, Mr. Richardson was on a lifeboat and he saw many

    children die in this military attack. Later in his thirties, he lost both his parents within ten days.

    Mr. Colin R. Richardson is the author of the book: MIND OVER CANCER (ISBN: 0-572-02456-8, Softcover)

    Note: There are those who strongly disagree and they say, there is no such thing, as mind over cancer,

    See Website: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA326565   

    Article titled: Does Attitude Affect Cancer Survival ?

    For a different perspective see:  http://www.cancersupportivecare.com/attitude.html

    Another more recent book title by Colin Ryder Richardson, is a book titled: I Beat My Cancer: Let Me Show You

    How (ISBN: 0-57202972-1, Softcover.) On the book cover it says that 25 years ago he was given a 10 percent

    chance of survival, but he used his mind to build his defenses and then to remove the cancer. It appears that this

    recent title is the same as the older title, but was published with a new title and perhaps with some additional material.

    This book was published in England and is available in the USA and Worldwide. Available at www.Amazon.com  

    It is noteworthy to mention that Deepak Chopra, M.D. in his book: Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of

    Mind/Body Medicine, (ISBN: 0-553-34869-8. Softcover, $16.00) page 11, writes the following about Holistic

    Healing “The word holistic, which tends to offend orthodox doctors, simply means an approach that includes the

    mind and body together.” In Chapter One of this book, he writes how he  treated a woman with breast cancer

    which metastasized. See this book’s Index at  www.Amazon.com  regarding what he writes about cancer.

Book Title: YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE

Author: LOUISE L. HAY

ISBN: 0-937611-01-8

Softcover,    Price of Book $12.95

Review:

    This book has been through at least 45 printings, and has sold over 35 million copies worldwide. It is a

    comforting read, showing you that there is hope, and mistakes can be corrected. Your current feelings

    about your life is a reflection of your current attitude. However, you can change all of that, if you so choose.

    Chapter 16 is titled: My Story, in which Louise Hay candidly tells you about her life as a youngster,

    who was raped and ran away from home, afterward giving birth as a teenager to a baby girl, and gives

    her baby up for adoption at only four days old.

    Unrelated to the above book, but nevertheless important. The pain borne by some mothers who gave 

    up their babies for adoption appears to be enormous. Think about it, you can be walking on the street in

    any city, anywhere. And a woman looks at you and silently wonders to herself, maybe that’s my baby

    who has grown up, and you never even knew that some lonely mom looked at you and for a fleeting

    moment, wondered if you are her baby who has now grown up ! Has this pain been addressed properly

    in the psychological literature ? Where can such a mother go for comfort and solace ? Can this pain

    eventually cause a mother to become sick ? This is not to criticize adoption but rather asking that the

    mom’s inner suffering silent screaming pain be addressed. 

    Later on, Louise Hay marries well and eventually her husband leaves her and is divorced. Afterward,

    she developed cancer. In an interview, she was asked for advice by a woman whose breast cancer returned.

    She replied that she cannot offer medical advice but asked the woman “Who do you have to forgive ?”

    A rather interesting answer indeed. You may read a short biographical sketch of Louise Hay at the

    Wikipedia Website:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Hay  where it says that Louise Hay claimed,

    that her cervical cancer was caused as a result of the pain she suffered from her childhood abuse and rape,

    and her lack of forgiveness. Forgiveness is often a very difficult task, but the reward can be quite significant.

    On the topic of forgiveness it is worth quoting Dr. Candace Pert, Ph.D who said “Anger and blaming others takes

    a lot of energy away from healing. One of the most powerful emotions that has to be expressed is forgiveness.”

    For more on Candace Pert, Ph.D see her Website:  www.CandacePert.com

    See also a sample of the film titled: The Secret at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b1GKGWJbE8  

    Louise Hay resolved to heal herself from within herself, and went for several alternative treatments (the specific

    treatments and therapies are not mentioned, however see above mentioned Wikipedia entry for some

    more information in this regard) and healed herself from within. This book is inspirational and is an easy

    read. This book was translated into many languages and has sold some 35 million copies worldwide.

    As of May 2010, you can watch this movie streaming online for $4.95. See the above Website for details.

    You can also watch a trailer of this movie at the above Website.

    For some people the book is better, because they can always reach for it and read it whenever they wish.

    It should be pointed out that there are tens upon tens of thousands of unprocessed rape kits in many

    police departments throughout America, because the local cities claim they have no money to pay for

    the DNA processing and entering the data into the national crime databases, which would help law

    enforcement officials catch and prosecute many unsolved rape cases. It may be therapeutic for any

    woman who was raped, to start pressuring her local government agencies to process these rape kits.

    (Rape Kits are actual samples taken by the Police from the woman who was raped, containing the body

    fluids, or skin scrapes of the rapist, from which they can process and document the DNA of the rapist.)

    For more information on this tragedy and what you can do about it, see Oprah Television Program, Titled:

    What You Need To Know About Rape, broadcast on August 12, 2002. A Transcript of this program may

    possibly be purchased at  www.oprah.com  or by calling: Telephone (800) 996-7724.

    The resultant powerlessness felt by a woman after being raped is mind boggling. Getting active, may

    perhaps help with healing and restore feelings of power and control over your life. Any woman or man can

    get active in this project and it would also benefit unknown and countless women everywhere in the U.S.A.

    and all over the world as well,  because it would also stop additional rapes from happening, in addition to

    prosecuting the rape crimes which were already committed in the past. DNA testing has recently made another

    advance, in that you can also test the ancestral and racial mix of any DNA sample. For more information on this

    and how it was used in crime investigations, see U.S. News & World Report Magazine, June 23, 2003 issue.

Author: GREG ANDERSON

ISBN: 0-9678-4110-0

Softcover,    Price of Book $9.00 

Review:

This book is excellent for all cancer patients, it does not discuss alternative treatments for cancer. In the 

introduction, the author writes that after his second surgery the doctors sent him home to die, “the lung cancer

that they had found four months earlier had now spread to the lymph system, according to statistics I had thirty

days to live.” In 1984 a surgeon told him “Greg, the tiger is out of the cage. Your cancer has come roaring back.

I would give you about thirty days to live.” 

The author continues ‘‘my experiences have led me to a new respect for the power of the human spirit over

illness, In this book I have tried to distill the principles of conquering cancer and communicate them accurately

in a way that will be easy to understand.” The Foreword to this book was written by newspaper columnist Abigail

Van Buren, who praises the message of the book.

The book contains seven sections covering the following topics:

The search for solutions, The perspective of personal responsibility, The cancer conqueror believes,

The conqueror resolves, The cancer conqueror lives, The cancer conqueror explains, The cancer conqueror

benefits. This is an outstanding book and is highly recommended.

Book Title: YOU DON’T HAVE TO DIE FROM CANCER -TAKING ACTIVE CHARGE

Author: ABRAHAM KHAZAM, M.D.

ISBN: 0-85572-266-5

Softcover,   Price of Book $14.95

Review:

   Dr. Khazam studied medicine in Holland. Later he moved to Australia where he wrote this profound

   book. Being a psychiatrist, he maintains that cancer works itself up to become an emotional deadly

   disease, where the toxic emotions of the patient do more harm to the person, than the cancer itself,

   because the emotions become so toxic and vicious like an hypnotic instruction to die.

   Dr. Khazam claims that it is a psychogenic death (Psychogenic = stemming from the emotional mind.)

   similar to a voodoo death. In cases where the patient dies, it is also because the person has been so

   demoralized because they “believe” they will die, even if medically they can actually survive and live,

   which then becomes so overpowering, similar to combat fatigue.

   (Combat fatigue means: the soldier is dead tired and exhausted and simply chooses to give up by

   surrendering, rather than keep on fighting.)

   This book contains four parts. Part One is titled: The Diagnosis, and is divided into four chapters 

   covering the following topics: How and why the stress of being diagnosed with cancer affects the

   body, particularly when a doctor tells a patient that the diagnosis is cancer and the patient then asks

   the doctor “How long do you think I have, Doctor ?” and the doctor answers “You have six months”

   (Both, the question and the Doctor’s answer ARE THE DEATH Sentence. Herein lies the devil itself !)

   The author maintains that by asking such a question, it means the person has accepted a death sentence

   and now the rest is only a negotiation, -the person is only “bargaining for time” ! How many weeks or

   months etc.,! But the death sentence is already an established fact emotionally in the person’s mind.

   The result of this great mistake is the actual cause of many unnecessary deaths, perhaps even more than

   the cancer itself –which would not kill the patient. (Back to the patient: If you make your doctor into a

   god, you have a false god, and not a doctor.) In the words of the author “What I am saying is this: you

   don’t have to die from cancer…The death becomes almost a certainty, because Mr. TCF = (Typical

   Cancer Patient) keeps actively working on it until it takes effect. And he does not even know this,

   because it takes place in his emotional mind” (Page 31). Dr. Khazam deserves credit for bringing this

   important life issue to the fore, and as a Psychiatrist he knows from whence he speaks.

   Additional chapters in Part One include: The Demoralized patient goes home and Battles Fatigue, in  

   which the author, as a Psychiatrist, points to the utterly destroyed, unmet, untreated, emotional mental

   state of the patient and the conflicts and problems which arise with close family members and loved

   ones. How does life go back to normal after a diagnosis ?

    In Part Two of this book, the author discusses the biology of cancer, and the biology of stress, and how

   stress weakens the body, and then how stress weakens the immune system and the entire human body.

   Part Three of this book is titled: The Psychology of Cancer, in which the author presents his viewpoints

   very clearly, such as, when a person feels hopelessly trapped without seeing any light at the end of the

   tunnel. This hopelessness will affect the person biologically and not only mentally or emotionally. The

   author writes that Hope is not a psychological luxury, but rather it is a basic ingredient of emotional health.

   Part Four of this book is titled: Healing, and it contains 18 chapters. The author writes that people with 

   cancer who do better, are usually those who possess the following personality traits:

   1). They adopt and maintain a fighting spirit.

   2). Are able to verbalize and express their hostility and anger when other people bother them. Being the

           perpetual “nice person”, and swallowing everything, from everyone every time is not healthy.

   3). They have low levels of anxiety and depression.

   Basically, according to Dr. Khazam, doctors who pronounce “death sentences” while they think they are 

   telling their patients “objective truth” are actually inducing their patients to die. This is a legal problem

   because it is illegal for a doctor not to tell their patient that they have a terminal medical condition.

   This is a legal, ethical and moral problem that deserves an amicable legal, ethical and moral solution.

   The following are four interesting items regarding the above mentioned issue, whether a doctor should or must tell a

   person that they are expected to die “statistically or actually.”  

   1). In an article in The Lancet, 1998 Oct 3;352(9134):1153. Hassn AMF, and Hassan  A. Article titled: Do We Always

   Need to Tell Patients the Truth ? They wrote that in their opinion "the wish of patients to know the whole truth about

   their illness does not mean that it is right for them... on the contrary, it harms many of them." For more on this article,

   see Website:  http://www.drsimone.com/report.htm#truth 

   2). In a survey conducted by the President’s Commission and released in 1982, the survey found that 96

   percent of Americans actually wanted to be told if they had cancer and 85 percent of Americans actually

   also wanted to know how long they would live, if their cancer usually led to death in less than a year.

   Source: President’s Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine. Making Health

   Care Decisions. 1982; 2: 245-246.   

   3). In a court case regarding a patient who had pancreatic cancer, who had surgery and afterwards,  

   radiation and experimental chemo drugs, and had visited his Oncologist(s) some 70 times and never

   asked about his chances for recovery. Statistically, this person had a five percent chance for a five year

   survival but actually passed away earlier, because the cancer returned and the doctors did not tell him

   that they expected him to pass away within a few months. They did not tell him about this because they

   did not want to take away his hope. The wife claimed that had he known, he would have refused the

   experimental chemo drugs and would have put his affairs in order. She sued his doctors claiming that

   under California law, the doctors were obligated to tell her husband about the survival statistics and also

   to ask for his consent to be given the experimental chemo drugs. The doctors claimed that had the

   patient been told, he would lose all hope and that in itself would have caused immense damage to him. 

   At first, a lower court ruled in favor of the doctors. Upon appeal by the wife, the California Supreme Court

   ruled in favor of the wife, because the doctrine of informed consent is based upon four principles:

      A). Patients are generally ignorant of medicine and therefore must be told all of their options.

      B). Patients have an inherent right over their bodies, to decide as they deem fit or as they wish.

      C). Informed consent is required for all medical procedures.

      D). Patients inherently rely on their doctors to give them accurate and truthful information, and have no

             other option but to rely on them, thereby making the doctor-patient relationship a relationship of

             trust. (The relationship is fiduciary.) Therefore, the doctor remains obligated to fully disclose and tell

             everything to the patient, and this is called Informed Consent. 

   Source: Court case of; Arato v. Avedon. 5 Cal 4th 1172, 23 Cal Rptr. 1993. 2D. 131, 858P. 2D 598.

   4). To paraphrase an angry family member, of a person who was told by their Oncologist that they were going

   to die, and actually did pass away, remarked that “the doctor(s) who invented the word ‘terminal’ will never get

   out of hell” for causing discouragement. A wise amicable humane legal solution should be found for this problem.

   Returning now to Dr. Khazam’s book, Dr. Khazam writes “The TCP = (The Typical Cancer Patient)

   must be relieved of the voodoo curse that has captured and occupied his emotional mind.”

   It is worthwhile to ponder and reflect on the significance of Dr. Khazam’s words.

   Chapter 16 is titled: Healing From The Psychological Cancer. Additional topics discussed in this book  

   include: Convincing the mind that it can have an effect on the human body, Coming to realize that you

   yourself must be in control and that you should not surrender your life to doctors, Visualization and

   how to do effective visualization, General principles of healing, Relaxation, The theory behind

   visualization, Whether or not it is ethical to tell the “truth” to a patient which in effect will cause them

   great harm, And an explanation on how the mind can affect the body. In chapter 31 the author writes

   that stress promotes the growth of cancer (Page 285). 

   If you believe that you have bought into a death sentence from your doctor(s), this book will be of great 

   help to you, if you will de-program and undo the false emotional death message. You can use your strength, faith,

   courage, effort, and tenacity to help you de-program and undo the false emotional death message. Bear in mind that the

   author is also a medical doctor and a psychiatrist, who has studied this subject thoroughly, and has a very important

   lifesaving message which is very important for all people with cancer, and their loved ones as  well.

   Article by Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, Ph.D.

   For a very encouraging article on cancer and statistics, and why it is wrong for doctors to give out death sentences,

   Dr. Gould asked “What does the average patient understand about median mortality of eight months ?” –Possibly

   nothing, and in fact probably misinterprets it as well, and if it is true that belief becomes biology, meaning: your brain

   and its false belief system, actualize themselves into whatever you believe, even though it is factually wrong.

   This wrong belief can tragically cause premature death. That is why Dr. Stephen Jay Gould’s article is of such

   importance. Dr Stephen Jay Gould, Ph.D, was a scholar in biology who taught at Harvard University.

   Read this article at Website:  http://cancerguide.org/median_not_msg.html 

   Title of article: The Median Isn’t The Message. This is a well written scientific scholarly article.

   Dr. Gould exceeded his 8 months median survival time by some THIRTY TIMES. 

   (30 x 8 months = 240 months, which equals Twenty Years.)

   In a sobering comment made by Steve Dunn (Founder of Website:  www.CancerGuide.org  he wrote that while he was

   ill, he tried to avoid reading statistics because of the inherent negative thinking it would encourage, and thus bring it

   into reality. Read his comments at:  http://www.cancerguide.org/stats_home.html

   He suggested that a friend should read the statistical numbers if possible. The “educated wise” will protest and demand

   to “know the facts as they may be” but the consequences of this attitude may have grave consequences, because the

   person may actually talk themselves into an early grave. It is worthwhile to study and ponder the enormous power of the

   mind, both for positive and negative. To paraphrase Bernie Siegel, M.D., who told of a woman who was given a cancer

   death sentence by her doctor and survived. Later on, she called that doctor and asked “Where do I send the coffin ?”

   made a conscious decision to survive and take his own life into his own hands, see book title: The Cancer Conqueror,

   written by Greg Anderson, (ISBN: 0-9678-4110-0, Softcover.) The author writes that after his second surgery the

   doctors sent him home to die, “the lung cancer that they had found four months earlier had now spread to the lymph

   system, according to statistics I had thirty days to live.” In 1984 a surgeon told him “Greg, the tiger is out of the cage.

   Your cancer has come roaring back. I would give you about thirty days to live.”

Book Title: THE HEALING JOURNEY

Author: ALASTAIR J. CUNNINGHAM, Ph.D

ISBN: 1-55263-107-9

Softcover,   Price of Book $14.95 (Published in Canada $19.95)

Review:

   The author, Alastair J. Cunningham, Ph.D is a senior scientist at the Ontario Cancer Institute and a professor of Medical

   Biophysics at the University of Toronto, clinical co-director of the Wellspring Centre and a member of the Institute for

   the Advancement of Health, and the Society for Behavioral Medicine. He has Ph.D degrees in cell biology and

   psychology, with over 35 years of experience in cancer-related research.

   During the late 1980’s Dr. Cunningham developed cancer, and he proceeded to explore the various dimensions of

   psychology, by which the mind of the person can be empowered, so that the person can actively participate and help in

   their own healing. –IF they so choose to do so. See his Home page at:  http://www.healingjourney.ca/

   Dr. Cunningham comes from the mainstream conventional school of thought, but as a true scientist, kept an open mind

   with which he explored the further reaches of the human mind and how it may influence medicine and healing.

   This is an emerging field known also as, Psycho-Oncology, which is not limited to exact definitions at the present time.

   Among the topics covered are: Reacting to the cancer diagnosis, The family reaction, Dealing with the diagnosis and

   starting to help yourself. The author maintains that it is up to the person themselves to decide how they will react and

   what actions they will take to further help themselves. In the last paragraph of Chapter 1, the author writes

   “that cancer, like everything else in our lives, has meaning. Some readers will already understand this, to others it may

   seem absurd, even offensive.” The author maintains that the healing journey in cancer, is finding greater meaning in

   your life. For free downloads of some of Dr. Cunningham’s works see:  http://www.healingjourney.ca/resource.htm

   Chapter 2 is titled: The Biology of Cancer, in which the author explains scientifically, how cancer grows into a tumor.

   In Chapter 3 the author discusses conventional treatments such as: chemo drugs, radiation, and surgery.

   In Chapter 4 the author presents a very enlightening and critical discussion on alternative cancer treatments, by logically

   arguing that “many are contradictory, they can’t all be valid; for example, diets based on cooked grains, and others

   insisting that all food must be consumed raw, are at loggerheads” (page 57). Furthermore, there is such a wide choice of

   alternative therapies and if any single one of them had been totally correct, all other alternative therapies would have (or

   should have) disappeared, because the truth would have finally come out. So why is there such a wide selection of

   alternative cancer therapies and there are no defined and proven therapies ?

   The author is absolutely right in asking the above questions. And likewise, let the question be expanded to conventional

   chemo drugs. Why are there so many different possibilities in using different chemo drugs and their various

   combinations, for the same cancer ? Is the prescribing of chemo drugs a precise defined exact science or is there room

   for conjecture, hypothesis, assumption or speculation ?

   Chemo drugs are very toxic and ought not be left to anything other than precise defined exact science.

   Chemo Sensitivity Testing is a viable option, and it is a scientifically validated method to help identify which specific

   Chemo drug(s) would be best suited, to destroy the individual person’s cancer.

   For detailed information on Chemo Sensitivity Testing see pages 184 - 208 in this Review Journal.

   However, few Oncologists advise their patients of this option. There is ample science in Chemosensitivity testing,

   yet it is ignored with an ignorance and an arrogance unbecoming to medicine and science.

   Topics in Chapter 5 include: What you need to do in order to start healing from within yourself, A brief overview of

   the science of mind and cancer healing, Using your mind to help you in your fight against cancer, Why has Western

   Medicine not used psychological intervention as part of its mainstream approach to cancer treatment.

   In Chapter 6, the author discusses the power of the human mind and how it can, and actually does affect the body of a

   person in a profound manner. Additional topics include, The role of willpower in self-healing, Getting active and taking

   personal responsibility for your health. Some people may resent this concept, because they feel that they have no

   self-power, for any one or more reasons. Perhaps one of them being the utter need, desire, and willingness to be a

   “helpless victim”

   Chapter 9 is titled: Getting Connected, where several different levels of states of mind are discussed.

   Chapter 10 is titled: Healing as a Search for Meaning, where the author writes about “Does cancer have

   meaning ?” and How to get in touch with your own unique inner knowledge.

   Towards the end of this book, there is an in depth discussion on how to Meditate, Relax, Do mental imagery,

   also more commonly known as, Visualization. Spirituality and Existentialism are also discussed.

   Existentialism seeks to find meaning in life, amongst and within the chaos, pain and suffering which people

   endure in their personal lives. The author who is also a psychologist, attempts to define and explain existentialism

   in the psychological sense, with the explicit purpose to help you take control of your life and thereby help yourself.

   Existentialism also speaks about the utter isolation and loneliness of each and every human being.

   Furthermore, where and how do you find meaning in life ? Where and how do you find lasting happiness ?

   Or is everything only a fleeting moment ? And wherein lies the essence of life ?

   This is a heavy philosophical question which can either cause you to ponder deeply on the meaning of your life,

   and possibly arrive at some treaty with a fair amount of satisfaction and happiness, or it can cause a person to

   become depressed. Ultimately, each person has to meet his/her Creator at the end of their life.

   Atheists are unable to come to terms with this vexing question which ceases not to vex, but does perplex.

   The author is a scientist by profession and even though in this book he discusses mind-body medicine, and how it

   relates to health and healing and Psycho-Oncology, he works and writes from within the framework of conventional

   psychology and medicine. Any person who wishes to use their “mind” to help themselves, may benefit from reading

   this book. More so, if you believe exclusively in conventional medicine, this book is for you.

   The author holds the following degrees: O.C., Ph.D., Ph.D., C.Psych.

   See also Author’s Web Page at:  http://medbio.utoronto.ca/faculty/cunningham.html   

                               - and see also:  http://www.healingjourney.ca/ 

   The first edition of this book was printed in 1992 and a revised edition was printed in 2000.

   The basic ideas which are discussed by the author in the 10 chapters of this book are as follows:

     1). It’s Cancer ! What To Do Now ?

     2). Biology of Cancer.

     3). The Benefits and Limitations of Medical Treatment.

     4). Evaluating Unorthodox Therapies.

     5). The Mind’s Effect on the Course of Cancer.

     6). How Body, Mind, Social and Spiritual Levels Interact.

     7). Strategies for Self-Initiated Healing.

     8). Taking Control of Your Life on Numerous Different Levels.

     9). Getting Connected to Your Own Self.

   10). Healing and Your Search for Meaning.

   Written by, Alastair J Cunningham. (ISBN: 0-973-78540-3, Softcover, $16.95 ) The author maintains that the mind

   influences the body.

Author: WAYNE W. DYER, Ph.D

ISBN: 0-06-091976-0

Softcover,    Price of Book $13.00

Review:

This book does not discuss cancer. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer is a psychologist with a great gift of pen and is an

excellent public speaker. Humorous and insightful, he presents his material in his own unique style.

The author discusses numerous topics, which if understood and practiced, breeds good mental health.

Among the topics discussed are: Taking charge of yourself, Self-love, Not seeking approval from other people,

Breaking free from the past, The useless emotions of guilt and worry, Exploring the unknown, The justice trap,

Putting an end to procrastination, Declaring your independence, Farewell to anger, Portrait of a person without

erroneous zones. This book is highly recommended.

Important: Before a person worries themselves into fear and sickness with all kinds of anxieties, it is still

worthwhile to do some “do it for yourself health changes.” Such as: Change of diet, No white sugar and No

artificial sweeteners and No white flour in breads, cakes, and pastas. Use whole wheat flour, (organic) brown

rice, fresh (steamed) green vegetables, healthy vegetable salads with cold pressed olive oil, fresh fruits and

melons, and other delicious healthy nutritious foods, Exercise, Meditation, Soft relaxing music, Reducing your

level of stress, Avoiding your own burnout, General relaxation, Sitting in a pleasant garden if possible, Getting

done with all pathological hatreds and angers, Forgiving your spouse, Your Ex, Your friends, including your

future friends, your step-father and/or step-mother, step brother(s) and sister(s), your own children, the in-laws,

the outlaws, the Ex-in-laws, your parents, sister(s) and brother(s), your former boss, your current boss, and

future boss, and all betrayals –if possible, and the entire baggage compartment ! Wherever, whenever, and

however possible. Give it all up and get a far higher spiritual richer kinder gentler better deal. You cannot buy

this anywhere, it works only when you do it.

Wayne W. Dyer, Ph.D addresses many core life issues with common sense, wonderful insights, and a humorous

approach. He gives you a good laugh at people’s follies including your own. There is no psychobabble in his speeches

and lectures. If you think you got sick because your soul or emotions are not functioning on a healthy level, you may

be able to start fixing it with Dr. Dyer’s books and audios. See his Website:  www.DrWayneDyer.com

Note: It is noteworthy to point out that emotional stress can cause physical sickness. As an example, see article titled:

perhaps, live without much interference from the ego. Ego seeks external approval and praise. Ego seeks

external honor from other people and organizations. Ego craves and seeks recognition and toys to show off with.

If you reach a level where you know and control your ego, all is well with what you have and everything else is

only a small insignificant item.

more easily overcome when a person is focused on a life of spirituality. The trivial is nonsense and is without

meaning.

Author: LARRY DOSSEY, M.D.

ISBN: 0-553-37081-2

Softcover,    Price of Book $14.95

Review:

This is an excellent book discussing emotions, disease, health and healing. This book is not dedicated

exclusively to cancer, except for Chapter 9 which is titled: Getting Ahead and Getting Cancer, consisting of

some 4 pages, in which the author cites a study done on medical students, showing that those who could not

externalize their feelings, developed cancer later on in life.

Among other topics discussed are: When shame is fatal, Cardiac arrest caused by extreme emotional upset,

Multiple disorder personality, Your own meaning of yourself is vital to your physical health, Patience and an

uncomplaining attitude can be fatal, Helping the self by helping others, Prayer, Paradoxical and rational healing,

The invisible power within, How to be a survivor of a hospital experience, Using the imagination for healing.

This is an excellent book which will enlighten you as to the mind/body relationship and the significance of the

mind in physical health. This book is highly recommended.

Review:

This book does not discuss alternative treatments for cancer. The main theme of this book is, that each person

has an inner healing ability and if you take the time and make the effort on a continuous basis, you can and will

awaken your own inner healing capabilities. Among the topics covered are:

* The Power of Self-Healing

* Placebos, Remissions and Miracles

* The Sensation of the Healer Within

* Gentle Movement Exercises

* Self Applied Massage

* Massage Techniques

* Massaging of Hands, Feet, Ears, Neck, Shoulders, and Abdomen

* Acupuncture Meridians

* Massaging the Face and Eyes

* Breathing Techniques

* Deep Relaxation and Meditation Techniques

An excellent book to help you relax, if you follow up on the advice offered. This book is very informative and

is a good read.

The book contains a diagram for Foot Massage - Reflexology, and a diagram for use when massaging the hands.
