Hi Doc,
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm sorry to hear about your xxx, as you probably know cancer is very tied into emotional experiences and attachment and most of the success stories of patients dealing with their cancer have involved accepting the disease and letting go of deep-seated beliefs and changing their lifestyle patterns completely.
Of course needless to say, chi gong is highly beneficial as are some chinese herbal treatments. However, these must be coupled with the belief that you can cure any illness that your body may have, and positive thoughts toward recovery through meditation are essential. I say this not as some hap-hazard opinion, but through experience. My mother is a natural therapist and has had a great deal of success treating cancer patients through massage and natural therapies with the help of my old chinese master in Sydney who is also a chinese herbalist and master of accupuncture. Without a doubt though, the most success comes from the state of the patients mind, which, in most cases is the most difficult thing to heal. If I were to give you anything of value that I have learned it would be the following; do not accept what the western doctors tell you as the only answer. Most of the time their synopsis suggests that there is no recovery other than through chemotherapy, this is bull****. My uncle has been fighting cancer for some time and his best success to date has come through chinese herbs and changing his lifestyle, including his mental state.
I hope my opinion does not offend you, but this is the same thing I would say to my friends, except that I would tell them to leave where they are living, give up their current lifestyle and find a good chi gong master and herbalist, forget everything they are doing and focus on healing themselves as a priority. In our western culture this seems like a far out extreme and probably crazy thing to do, in china it would be the only thing to do.
In China, that's not "the only thing to do".
In China, they die.
And have I got one hell of a story about that. One hell of a story. I just haven't brought myself to write about it yet. It's a bit too emotional for me, still. One day....
We have a different perception of human life, in this country and in ours. Here, human life apparently has a much higher value. And we prove it, by getting one consultant after another to evaluate our loved ones. We get one attorney after another to evaluate "the case" one our loved ones die, and die, "without good reason". It becomes a nightmare sometimes.
I've taken care of friends who have had cancer, and supplemented their care with TCM herbs, from the best doctor specialists in Beijing.
They've died.
Now, in my professional career, I've seen some great cancer successes with surgery. I've also seen some success, and at least remissions, with chemotherapy. I've seen little success with radiotherapy (the cancers are usually too inaccessible at that time). But, I've seen one hell of a lot of good with modern western medicine.
I haven't seen that with TCM. And I've played with it personally. And in some cases, I've written about it on the website, somewhere. In multiple places.
So, I do understand your point. And I do agree with you, that the treatment of chronic disease, does have an emotional component. An emotional component that does not cause the disease, nor an emotional component that, once treated, cures the disease. Just, an accompanying emotional component. An emotional component that can be a nightmare in and of itself.
If you notice, Beijing, and China in general, is moving towards western medicine, more and more. They have not given up on their TCM. But they are learning, and using, more and more western medicine.
Because it works.
It will be interesting to see what the gang has to say about this.
