Believing in miracles - a message of hope

During the rare times that doctors in the US go on strike, the death rate

always goes down.

Alternative health guru Dr Larry Dossey often cites this phenomenon as

evidence of rampant iatrogenesis (death by doctoring), but mounting evidence

suggests that there could be another reason . . .

Cases of spontaneous remission - where serious, often fatal illnesses cure

themselves with no obvious external or medical intervention - have been so

widely documented to suggest that they are not as rare as we are led to

believe by the medical establishment.

Indeed, one very recent case reported by scientists at the University of

Nevada cites the example of a 78-year-old man with malignant fibrous

histiocytoma and multiple lesions in both lungs. Following the diagnosis, he

declined conventional chemotherapy and chose nutritional treatment instead.

He increased his intake of omega-3 fats (fish and algae oils) high in DHA

(docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) to about 15 g/day and

lowered his intake of omega-6s (found in nuts, seeds and plant oils such as

corn, soy and safflower).

Remarkably, computed tomography (CT) scans and chest X-rays revealed a slow

but steady decrease in the size and number of tumour nodules - with no

side-effects - and he remains free of symptoms today (Nutr Cancer, 2005;52:

121;9).

The untapped power of self-repair

The latest issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You has documented the work of

Caryle Hirschberg and the late n O'Regan who spent 15 years

documenting nearly 2,000 cases of spontaneous remission. It also reveals

the league table of spontaneous remissions by disease group.

Cancer made up 74 per cent of these cases, but a wide range of other

potentially fatal diseases also mysteriously 'remitted'.

We, at What Doctors Don't Tell You, are also very familiar with many such

cases amongst our readers. At our regular annual cancer conferences, too,

we meet scores of people who, having been declared terminal cases, are very

much alive and healthy many years later.

The medical evidence that can’t be ignored

Most orthodox cancer treatments are doled out on the assumptions that

cancer is: a) always aggressive and life-threatening; and that it won't

get better on its own.

But how sound are these seemingly basic assumptions?

A famous letter to The Lancet dared to suggest that a particular form of

breast cancer - ductal carcinoma in situ - may simply burn itself out in

time.

The authors noted that a local regression (in other words, spontaneous

healing) of this relatively mild form of cancer was first described 70 years

ago and has also been noted in some textbooks, but has otherwise been

largely ignored by the medical profession.

Because of medicine's inability to distinguish between the life-threatening

and non-threatening cancers, patients with a positive diagnosis are often

given the full force of medical treatment: surgery, irradiation and drugs

for cancers that might not have been a threat to their lives in the first

place.

So, can spontaneous remission be initiated? And can we influence it?

The sheer volume of SRs shows that self-repair and renewal is natural to the

human body. Most cases seem to take place after the patient has made a major

psychological shift to recreate a life that is engaging and purposeful. Most

people, this would suggest, get ill because they've lost all hope of life

ever being good.

Letting go of long-term suppression of negative emotions such as fear can

also trigger an SR. Psychotherapist/ physician Dr Lawrence LeShan had a

32-year-old male patient with a rapidly growing tumour in his neck and

throat. Before undergoing surgery to remove it, he was seen by a

psychotherapist who discovered that the patient was repressing a terrible

childhood trauma.

The therapist encouraged him to relive the original experience, and he

'recounted it in detail, weeping and trembling'. Immediately after this

'release', the tumour started to shrink. Within four hours, he was able to

eat for the first time in a week. Within four days, the tumour had

completely disappeared. The astonished surgeon in charge of his case

cancelled the operation (Am J Psychother, 1958; 12: 723;34).

The whole issue of spontaneous remission is analysed in the January 2006

issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You.
