Surviving Cancer on Rachel Ray: Suzanne Somers Speaks Out On Alternative Approaches to Cancer

Suzanne Somers recently appeared on The Rachel Ray Show to discuss her new book, “Knockout,” which examines alternative approaches to the treatment of cancer. Somers’ book was inspired by her personal experiences as she had what many think was a close-call with cancer but was actually a close-call with the medical establishment. Consider Suzanne Somers experience and compare it with that of millions of others in the United States. Then, look into some of the alternative perspectives provided at the end of this article.

Somers was diagnosed with cancer and told she would have to immediately start full-body chemotherapy. After her decision that she’d rather die than undergo the horrors of chemo, she discovered that she didn’t have cancer after all, but rather a fungus. Somers’ detractors – including Rachel Ray to a small degree – warn that celebrities speaking out on medical issues could be dangerous and lead people away from the “medical help they need.” But Somers’ personal story is actually evidence that she could indeed be saving people from a far greater risk in modern, commercialized health care.

Cancer is indeed a frightening word and a scary subject. It is understandable that a culture of people trained to fear a word and seek “expert” assistance would blindly follow any advice given to them by a qualified physician. After all, they’re the experts, aren’t they? Or are they? In my opinion, an expert is someone who is very good at something – not someone holding a piece of paper stating they are legally qualified to do a certain kind of business in a particular country. I’m not bashing doctors; but humans were doing just fine before corporate medicine came along to save them from themselves.

And medicine doesn’t exactly have a stellar record for knowing what they’re talking about – as in Suzanne Somers case, where they almost rushed her into chemotherapy when she didn’t even have cancer. What’s the big deal about chemotherapy? Have you ever seen someone who’s gone through chemotherapy? Of course, the medical establishment has led us to believe that cancer is a death sentence – unless they can save us with drugs, radiation or surgery – and they’ll say that the patient who undergoes chemotherapy and dies would have died anyway. But there is no way to determine that the patient didn’t die, or die quicker, because of the devastating effects of the toxins used in chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy for cancer treatment was stumbled upon after people exposed to Mustard Gas (a chemical warfare agent) during a military operation in World War II were found to have decreased numbers of white blood cells. Medical science reasoned that, if toxins like mustard gas could decrease the number of white blood cells, it might also decrease the number of other rapidly dividing cells. Since then, despite mixed results, medical science has experimented on humans with several other toxic chemicals; completely ignoring the one constant throughout all of medical history – a certain percentage of people are going to respond positively no matter what you do to them as long as they believe it will help. In other words, though a cancer survivor may be convinced that chemotherapy saved their life, there is no way to definitively determine that the survivor did not save their own life despite the chemical assault on their body.

Most doctors are good people who truly want to help. But most doctors – the classic “4-out-of-5 doctors” who recommend or agree on this drug or that toothpaste or mouthwash – simply believe what they paid someone to tell them in medical school. Like most people, they know what they know and believe that their thoughts and beliefs are somehow more “right” than someone else’s. With Western allopathic medicine being one of the leading killers of Americans, it is never safe to assume – under any circumstances – that someone knows more about your body than your body does. No matter how frightened you are, how much you’re paying someone or what route to healing you choose, your body is the only thing that can save you. As ancient wisdom tells us, “The physician treats the wound; but the body heals.” No one outside of you can heal what’s inside of you – no matter how “qualified” they are. As for the “4-out-of-5,” do you really think 80% of any group is right? Do you really think enlightenment is that common? Do you really think that medicine would be in such a terrible state if it were?

Your choice of approaches is completely up to you; and I’m not suggesting that any of them is any better or worse – for you – than any other approach. What is dangerous is the idea that 8-years of school can give a person magical powers or insight. It is this Belief that has led people to blindly hand over their fate to the highest bidder – even though the establishment they trust fails more often than it succeeds. Suzanne Somers is just as qualified to speak out about this as anyone. She witnessed firsthand how medical opinions almost caused her great suffering and could have even killed her had she not trusted her body and taken the initiative to discover that those “qualified” opinions were wrong.

Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer’s opinion of chemotherapy is that there should be “a special monument in hell erected to the inventors of chemotherapy.” This is, perhaps, a bit harsh but this doctor’s qualified opinion is clearly not with the “4-out-of-5.” Emotions aside, I believe that we should all seek out the “5th doctor” and listen to what he has to say. If you have cancer, you may be interested in what Dr. Hamer has to say in this free pdf on the German New Medicine: http://www.pilhar.com/News/Presentation_E.pdf . To hear Dr. David Holt speak about Dr. Hamer’s New Medicine as it applies not only to cancer, but to ALL disease processes, check out these two videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPb-rGRBjJs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj_DwhHrKoQ .

Dr. Hamer’s views make a lot of sense; and I have personal experience successfully helping clients treat disease with this approach. But Dr. Hamer’s views are not popular with a medical community that believes they will lose a great deal of money if people learn to heal disease from the inside out. Hopefully the medical community will remember that the word, “doctor,” comes from the Latin, “docteo,” which means, “I teach.” There will always be a place for teachers of health; but, if we’re lucky, the days of these teachers pushing dangerous chemicals as cures are coming to an end. Let’s hope today’s doctors learn to put aside their financial fears and step back into their roles as teachers rather than pill dispensers.

Dr. Joseph Mercola is yet another qualified physician skeptical of pharmaceutical-based approaches to health care and even critical of the machine that is modern medicine. His support of a variety of alternatives to conventional medicine hasn’t won him a lot of friends in the Western medical community, but his site: www.DrMercola.com is a valuable resource for anyone seeking alternative approaches to health care. One of the techniques Dr. Mercola promotes and supports is the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) which is a safe, non-invasive technique that has been used successfully with an incredibly wide range of emotional, psychological and even medical conditions.

Dr. William Kelley is another one of the “1-out-of-5 Doctors” who didn’t simply keep preaching and selling what he was told to be the truth. Dr. Kelley’s Counter Perspective on cancer and chemotherapy can be found here: http://www.drkelley.info/index.php?section=Dangers+of+Chemotherapy along with his personal story of how he cured himself from “incurable” pancreatic cancer. There are many such individuals in the world – most cultures have never used chemotherapy or viewed the body and its disease processes as “enemies.” Give yourself a broad perspective and consider the economic machine being used to give Westerners their current set of beliefs and fears of cancer and other disease processes. Then, make a conscious decision about your health. No matter which direction you choose, you should be able to find caring, “qualified” people to help you with your process.

CISM Innovation: Validation of EFT for Post Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders

The following links have been compiled on the EFT for Vets site (www.eftforvets.com) by EFT practitioner Ingrid Dinter. Ingrid is one of the many EFT practitioners currently using EFT to moderate and eliminate Post Traumatic Stress Disorders in military veterans and others who have experienced Traumatic Stress events. The following information can also be found on EFT founder Gary Craig’s official EFT site: www.EmoFree.com.

I’ve been using EFT since 2002 in private practice and have found it to be invaluable in eliminating all manner of stress and the illnesses and disease processes caused by stress. Having been associated with public safety since 1986, and having been a Public Safety Peer Counselor since 1996, I can personally attest to the value of EFT in the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) arena.

Fear Of Flying: Using EFT To Overcome Flying Fears

Fear of flying is one of the most common fears in the United States. Close to 3-billion people travel by air each year and a significant number of them are afraid of some aspect of flying. If you’re afraid of flying, you are not alone. Until recently, fearful air travelers didn’t have many options for overcoming fear; they were simply forced to sedate, suppress or otherwise mask or endure their negative symptoms and reactions. Now, with EFT, there is not only help for overcoming your fear of flying, but for overcoming practically any fear you can imagine. EFT is safe, easy-to-use, non-invasive, and best of all, it’s FREE! Try using EFT to overcome your fear of flying; then, try it on everything.

The experience you feel as fear is actually a combination of hormones and neurotransmitters your body is using to direct your feelings and behaviors in order to protect you and help you survive. Those hormones, commonly called, “Stress Hormones,” are part of the stress response, or “fight-or-flight response.” These hormones are released in response to your thoughts and perceptions about an event — thoughts and perceptions that aren’t the same for everyone. In your case, the thoughts cause you to believe your safety is being threatened in some way and what you’re feeling is part of your natural survival instincts. What isn’t natural is when your thoughts cause you to feel as if you have to fight for your life when there is no real and immediate threat to your life. In these cases — which are very common these days — you simply need to change, rewrite or delete the problematic stress-thoughts that are causing you to see danger where others are not. Thoughts, beliefs and perceptions are easily changed and, in fact, change all the time based on our experiences. With EFT, changing perceptions and eliminating negative or unproductive thoughts is a relatively simple matter.

To get started, you’ll need to download one of the many Free EFT manuals available online. (I have posted a Free, Illustrated Guide to EFT at: www.ExploreExpandEvolve.com/free_download ) Once you’ve read about the EFT process and technique, you’re ready to begin. Simply apply EFT to any problem or fear and you will find that you have more power and control over your life than ever before. You will no longer be crippled by fears that keep you from going places and doing the things you love to do or have always wanted to do. Help yourself to EFT; and then help set yourself free with EFT.

When using EFT, simply insert a problematic belief (such as, “I’m afraid of flying…”) into the EFT basic set-up phrase: “Even though ________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” Before starting, rate your level of distress over this belief on a scale of 1-10 and write that number down. After completing a round of EFT, reassess your level of distress and compare it to the original number. You will most likely find that your level of distress has either dropped significantly, or disappeared completely. If there is no change, consider changing the statement by reflecting on the exact wording that causes you the greatest distress.

Below, I’ve compiled a short list of some of the more common beliefs associated with a fear of flying. If you use EFT to eliminate one of them, but still find you have some or all of your fear remaining, you can simply move on to another one. These aren’t in order. There’s a chance that, while using EFT on one of these fears, you will gain clarity on what you are really afraid of. For example, I’ve had clients using EFT with the statement, “Even though I’m afraid of flying…,” who stopped and told me, “It isn’t flying that I’m really afraid of, it’s FALLING!” This fear of falling could have been anchored during a fall as a child, but now it is being transferred to any activity that takes us off the ground. Use this list as a starter; begin with whichever belief resonates most strongly with you.

· I’m afraid of flying

· I’m afraid of crashing

· I’m afraid of heights

· I’m afraid of falling

· I’m afraid of dying

· I’m afraid the plane will break

· I’m afraid of being off the ground

· I’m afraid of being out of control

· I’m afraid of being hurt

· I’m afraid of being in pain

· I’m afraid of being hijacked

· I’m afraid of airplanes

· I’m afraid of being in a plane crash

Don’t hesitate to add to this list; this is just a starter list to get you going. Of course, your fear may be based on one simple statement: “I’m afraid of falling out of the sky.” If so, you might find that EFT completely eliminates your fear forever in only a few minutes. On the other hand, you may be burdened with all the fears I listed above – and then some. In that case, you may need to work with EFT for a while, or even find a professional practitioner to help you zero-in on the exact beliefs that are holding you back. In either case, EFT will help if you apply it and use it until you are no longer afraid. Have fun and expect miracles. In one way or another, your life is about to change for the better!

EFT: Free Alternative Health Care For Everyone?

In these economic times, health care is one of the biggest issues and concerns facing not only Americans, but people all over the world. Many people are actually being forced to choose between rent, food, and gas – or health care. Nobody should have to make such choices; but, even if you can afford health care and medical insurance, wouldn’t it be nice if you could solve most of your problems at home – at no cost, risk free, and possibly in minutes rather than the time it takes to drive to the doctor’s office and sit and wait and be seen, etc? Believe it or not, EFT has given me, and many others, exactly that gift – free, safe, quick, and effective, do-it-yourself health care.
