Radical Remission Part II: 3 Core Beliefs For Self Healing
What if you could make your cancer go away, without conventional treatment?
What if you could heal yourself of heart disease, diabetes, or an autoimmune disease?
Is this the stuff that makes urban legends?
Spontaneous remissions, or “radical remissions” as Dr. Kelly Turner prefers to call them, are not only REAL... they’re happening more often than we realize.
In Dr. Turner’s research, she’s finding that there are untold cases all over the world. Part of the underreporting has to do with the system and the process of record keeping. According to Turner, “unexpected remissions are estimated to occur in one of every sixty thousand to one hundred thousand cancer patients; however, the true incidence rate is likely higher than that due to underreporting.” Part of it has to do with the health industry’s belief that these stories could do more harm than good (read: inflating hope, when there shouldn’t be any).
Venessa... do you mean to say that people are out there actually healing themselves of shit like cancer and we’re left here thinking “doomsday: we’re all screwed”??
Yup. Now, I’m not saying that doctors and conventional treatment are not necessary or that everyone and their mom would heal if they just followed these treatments and beliefs.
What I want you to take away from all this is that you, yes YOU, have a lot more power in your healing process than you may think.
In my last blog post, I shared with you the top 6 treatments that foster self healing - straight from the mouths of cancer survivors themselves and their healers. If you haven’t read that post, there’s some pretty wicked info that you should know yesterday, so get on it. After you’re done, make sure you come back here for the sequel.
Ok, for those of you who are ignoring my request that you read my last post (don’t lie to me), here’s the backstory: Dr. Kelly Turner interviewed people from all over the world who had cancer that went into remission. In her research, she has compiled the common holistic characteristics that contributed to their healing.
Today I’m stoked to share the top 3 core beliefs among those same cancer survivors. This is good stuff, people. So listen up.
TOP 3 CORE BELIEFS FOR SELF HEALING
Belief #1: Change the Conditions under which Cancer Thrives
Yes... cancer THRIVES in certain conditions. Like a body fed a diet of sugar and trans fat. But there are other, less obvious conditions under which cancer thrives.
The majority of Turner’s interviewees believed that cancer thrives in certain suboptimal conditions in the body-mind-spirit system and that to remove cancer, those underlying conditions must change.
One healer from Hawaii explained it this way:
The most successful recoveries seem to be strongly associated with major mental, emotional, or physical behavioral changes among the people with the illness. What is major for one person, of course, may not be the same for another . . . I know of one success where a woman left her family, took up a different religion, changed her clothing and diet, and moved to a different country. Maybe she needed all of those changes or maybe not, but overall it worked for her. I know of another person, a man, who simply stopped trying to outdo his father, and that worked for him.
This can also be applied to the physical environment inside and outside of your body. We’ve got to clean our internal “ecosystem” along with all of the other crap in our lives.
Think about it this way: a goldfish gets sick because it’s living in toxic, dirty water. Do you heal the fish, only to put it back into the same gross water that got it sick in the first place?
Change your water people.
Belief #2: Illness = Blockage/Slowness; Health = Movement
Turner’s interviewees also believed that “any illness—including cancer—represents a blockage or slowness somewhere in the body-mind-spirit system, whereas health occurs when there is a state of unhindered movement or flow.”
WE LIKE FLOW. This belief resonates with a lot of eastern medicine traditions, where it is believed that blocked energy, qi, prana, life force, etc leads to disease and illness. Flow and movement in all ways - physical exercise, breathe, evolution of spirit, emotional and cognitive flexibility - will ensure health.
Where do you have a blockage in your life? Whether it’s physical (clogged arteries), mental (you hate your job), emotional (your partner is abusive), or spiritual (you feel disconnected from your god) - you’ve got to make like Drano and realize that “every clogged drain has a solution.” Find yours.
Belief #3: A Body-Mind-Spirit Interaction Exists, and Energy Permeates All Three Levels
Alright, so what the heck does this mean? It means that we often forget or deny that we’re not just skin sacks of bodily fluid. Sorry, that was a gross visual.
Here’s a fact (unless you’re prepared to argue with Einstein): We are energetic beings.
The interviewees that experienced radical remission of their cancers believed that we are energetic beings on a body, mind and spiritual level. And that there is constant interaction and flow - where energy permeates all three.
According to an American-born, Peruvian-trained shaman:
You have to have mind, body, and spirit healing. . . Most of us who live in our physical bodies, we don't even know about spiritual or emotional bodies. So we have to connect with all three of them. But you see, in the mountains of the Andes, [the Andean people] are already connected.
None of this information is new. In fact, most of these beliefs and treatments can be found in ancient traditions and texts thousands of years old.
It seems the more screwed up we become because of increased stress & disconnection, the Standard American Diet (SAD), and our pop-a-pill instant gratification mentality, the more it becomes imperative that we utilize the lessons above for not only self healing, but prevention.
Challenge: I encourage you to pick at least one of the treatments/beliefs I talked about and incorporate it into YOUR life.
Remember, one step at a time is what it takes to get to where you want to be.
