Dearest Friends:
Since I've joined Care2 you've brought me great light, love and inspiration. Thank you from the deepness of my loving heart.
As you may know, I have struggled with breast cancer for more than three years now, treating it as naturally as possible, with very solid, rather remarkable results. No slash and burn for me! & my BC was quite extensive. Alternative or conventional treatment is expensive in America today. More $200,000.00 has been spent out-of-pocket on both. I am exhausted by the American healthScare system!!! You all have encountered its demise in one way or another I am certain.
A beautiful book was born of this amazing experience, one my editor, who has worked with many of the best writers you have read over the years, believes will be a strong commercial success, once published. Already he recommends incredible people for the book's forward and for endorsements - people like Oprah. Smile.
You may also know I've been offered a position-in-trade at the Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute in Puerto Rico, a wondrous healing institute where I am more than certain the final pieces of breast cancer will simply melt away. A perfectly lovely ending to the book, I would say. I am scheduled to be at the Institute by month's end. I have waited for this opportunity for almost ten years now. You can imagine how excited and blessed I feel.
My conundrum is simple. The last two years BodyByBliss (TM) has done well, but not well enough for me to recover what breast cancer has required. As you know personally, our economy on the brink, has been less than rewarding in many sectors. I ask that you forward this email discreetly so I may be assisted in my life's transition now. Cancer survivors particularly will understand this note and its necessity.
BodyByBlissMedia.com, an educational website filled to the brim with important health and well-being information, has a contribution area, for people to show their appreciation of life-saving information. Anyone who feels inclined may contribute to the continued healing process my precious life has become, and know they too may face a moment like this, when their dream is so close, yet too far.
I've done all I can, my very best. (I have no family and recently my former beau decided a more wealthy woman without breast cancer was a better partner for him.)
Today I ask for you to help a bit. A bit from many friends, acquaintances and loved ones goes a very, very long way. The time is now, right now. I do trust you understand and respect this note and its intent.
I truly pray you never encounter a serious illness and come to know the delicate, thin life-line allowed you from that moment on.
Thank you in advance for your sweet compassion and kind understanding. Know I know you do your best.
Blissings, Ani

Raw Foods May Be New Trend In Healthy EatingRaw Food
Restaurant To Open In Boston's North End
BOSTON -- Diets can be vegetarian, organic or even vegan. Now, a restaurant opening this week in Boston's North End is offering all raw foods, but there's certainly more on the menu than just carrots and celery sticks.
Gnocci with fresh peas, mushroom lasagna and even decadent chocolate cake: these are just some of the items being offered at Grezzo, a new restaurant opening in Boston's famous North End. But this restaurant does not cook a thing.
"The concept of Grezzo is fresh whole live foods," said Alissa Cohen, the restaurant's owner and author of the cookbook, "Living On Live Food." "Everything is made from fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouted grains," she said.
Grezzo will feature upscale entrees, appetizers, salads and smoothies, all made without cooking. Everything is organic and vegan, so there are no meat, fish or animal ingredients. Nothing is heated above 112 degrees. The crackers are not baked, but rather made crunchy using a special dehydration process, said Cohen. The cheese in a caprese salad has no dairy, but is made with a creamy blend of macadamia nuts and cashews.
"We make pretty much anything you can imagine out of raw food. (We make) anything to mimic your favorite cooked food," Cohen said.
Cohen said raw foods are cleansing and have healed her of fibromyalgia. She said people she works with have lost weight and been cured of headaches, skin conditions and diabetes.
Dr. George Blackburn, associate director of nutrition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, said the healing powers of raw foods have not been proved. However, he said he thinks Grezzo will offer a good way to learn about healthy eating.
"I'd hold off on the medical claims and concentrate on the fun, the good taste and the novelty of eating healthy," said Blackburn.
Cohen said the restaurant was booked for reservations, even before opening. She also said it's generating interest from people who are not strictly following a raw-food diet.
"I think it's a lot of people who have heard about it, who are health conscious and want to go out for a really nice dinner, but they still want to be healthy," said Cohen.
Dr Hamer had an exceptionally high success rate with his cancer therapy, by far the highest I have seen of any therapy. During one of several trials of the persecuted Dr Hamer the public prosecutor (Wiener-Neustadt in Austria) had to admit that after 4 to 5 years 6,000 out of 6,500 patients with mostly advanced cancer were still alive. That is over 90%, almost a reversal of the results to be expected after conventional treatment of advanced conditions.
Dr Hamer started his cancer research when he developed testicle cancer after his son was shot dead. He wondered if his son's death was the cause of his cancer. Subsequently he investigated and documented over 15,000 cases of cancer and always found the following characteristics to be present, which he termed the Iron Rules of Cancer.
The Iron Rules of Cancer
1. Every cancer and related disease starts as a DHS that is a Dirk Hamer Syndrome, which is a serious, acute-dramatic and isolating conflict-shock-experience. It manifests simultaneously on three levels, psyche, brain and organ.
2. The theme of the psychic conflict determines the location of the focus or HAMER Herd in the brain, and the location of the cancer in the organ.
3. The course of the psychic conflict correlates with the development of the HAMER Herd in the brain, and the course of the cancer in the organ.
At the moment of the conflict-shock a short circuit occurs in a pre-determined place of the brain. This can be photographed with computed-tomography (CT) and looks like concentric rings on a shooting target or like the surface of water after a stone has been dropped into it. Later on, if the conflict becomes resolved, the CT image changes, an edema develop, and finally scar tissue.
How specific and precisely located these brain lesions are may be seen from the following: After a professional lecture a doctor handed him the brain CT of a patient and asked to explain it. From this Dr Hamer diagnosed the patient to have a fresh bleeding bladder carcinoma in the healing phase, an old prostate carcinoma, diabetes, an old lung carcinoma and sensory paralysis in a specific area, in addition to the corresponding emotional conflicts.
Amazingly, Dr Hamer was able to show that at the same time as the concentric brain lesion appears also the target organ CT may show such a concentric lesion. According to Dr Hamer this happens instantly when the psychic shock hits the subconscious level and this same second is the start of cancer. However, also other diseases can be caused by the same mechanism. How severe a disease becomes may depend on other psychological, energetic and nutritional factors but its nature and location are determined by the content of the conflict shock.
Hamer believes that the correlation between key emotional shock events, the target brain areas and the related organs has developed as an adaptation of our human evolution from similar programs in the animal world. When we unexpectedly experience emotional distress, an emergency repair program is set in motion, a biological conflict program with the aim of returning the individual to normal. Such programs can even apply to families or other groups.
Hamer gives the following example. A mother sees her child in a bad accident. In evolutionary terms small children recover faster when they receive extra milk. Therefore, the biological conflict program tries to stimulate milk production by increasing the number of breast cells. If the mother is right-handed, that will instantly cause the appearance of a Hamer Herd in a specific part of her right brain, which in turn relates to the left breast. When the child is well again, conflict resolution begins and extra milk is no longer needed. The mother gets a benign form of tuberculosis in that breast which breaks up the excess breast cells. However, if the mycobacteria required for this are lacking, then the area may just calcify and remain as a dormant tumor.
The same process applies also to animals. A sheep that loses its lamb to a wolf is prone to develop teat cancer; the side depends on whether it is right or left footed. However, commonly the sheep resolves this conflict by bearing another lamb.
The following example may illustrate the original survival value of this mechanism. Lets assume a lion chases an antelope. The antelope must immediately mobilize all its resources to survive. The sympathetic nervous system takes over and in addition a specific brain center becomes active that stimulates lung activity. After the successful escape the animal rests and the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant for a while to normalize body functions.
If instead a human gets a cancer diagnosis, even if the diagnosis is wrong, the same biological program is set in motion by the same fear of death that helped the animal to escape. The stress level jumps and the brain-lung connection is activated but now there is nowhere to run. Until the conflict is resolved, which may take years, there will be constant stress as well as brain-induced stimulation of lung activity, which now takes the form of increasing lung capacity by the incessant division of cells.
This process can only be stopped by switching off the trigger in the brain through defusing the original conflict shock. This happens when the patient subsequently has surgery or natural therapy, which he or she fully believes will lead to a cure. However, the same procedure in a patient who has doubts about its effectiveness will leave the conflict unresolved and the disease to progress. Thanks to Dr Hamer's work, this is no longer just an unsubstantiated assumption but rather scientific fact that can be verified anytime with a CT brain scan.
The selection of the conflict focus occurs by subconscious association. For instance biological conflicts involving water but also other fluids, such as milk or oil, lead to kidney cancer, fear of death to lung cancer and psychologically swallowing a bigger chunk then we can digest to stomach or intestinal cancer.
Originally, in the animal world, it really was a big chunk of food, but for us it may be a financial over-commitment or any other obligation that we have taken on and cannot fulfill. However, the target focus is not determined by the event itself, but rather by the psychological significance that it has for us at the time of the event.
Hamer illustrates this with another example, a woman who finds her husband in bed with another female. As a sexual frustration conflict it causes uterus cancer. If she instead experiences it as a partner conflict, then in a right-handed woman it leads to cancer of the right breast. If the conflict feeling is fear and revulsion then it causes hypoglycemia and with lack of self-worth cancer may develop in the pubic bone.
If the lack of self-worth had been due to a failure in sportsmanship rather than being sexually related, then the problem would have arisen in an arm or leg instead or possibly in the fingers or shoulder.
Other typical situations that may lead to biological conflicts are loss situations, loss of a loved one, of a job, a valued possession or a territory.
Dr Hamer believes that most metastases or secondary tumors are caused by the cancer-fear or death-fear resulting from the patient given the cancer diagnosis or a negative prognosis. However, also in this case the resulting conflict shock may not be fear of death but rather anger, resentment or a separation conflict from partner or children and then tumors would appear in different places. Also a diagnosis of colon cancer commonly leads to liver cancer because of a subconscious fear of starvation.
Generally hopelessness, despair and meaninglessness create chronic stress, which prevent the healing from cancer and other diseases but they are not the cause. According to Hamer the real cause of cancer and other diseases is an unexpected traumatic shock for which we are emotionally unprepared.
The following list shows some of the relationships between conflict emotions and target organs.
Adrenal cortex - Wrong direction, gone astray Bladder - Ugly conflict, dirty tricks Bone - Lack of self-worth, inferiority feeling Breast milk gland - Involving care or disharmony Breast milk duct - Separation conflict Breast, left (right-handed) - Conflict concerning child, home, mother Breast, right (right-handed) - Conflict with partner or others Bronchials - Territorial conflict Cervix - Severe frustration Colon - Ugly indigestible conflict Esophagus - Cannot have it or swallow it Gall Bladder - Rivalry conflict Heart - Perpetual conflict Intestines - Indigestible chunk of anger Kidneys - Not wanting to live, water or fluid conflict Larynx - Conflict of fear and fright Liver - Fear of starvation Lung - Fear of dying or suffocation, including fear for someone else Lymph glands - Loss of self-worth associated with the location Melanoma - feeling dirty, soiled, defiled Middle ear - Not being able to get some vital information Mouth - Cannot chew or hold it Pancreas - Anxiety-anger conflict with family members, inheritance Prostate - Ugly conflict with sexual connections or connotations Rectum - Fear of being useless Skin - Loss of integrity Spleen - Shock of being physically or emotionally wounded Stomach - Indigestible anger, swallowed too much Testes and Ovaries - Loss conflict Thyroid - Feeling powerless Uterus - Sexual conflict
The conflicts for some other diseases are as follows:
Diabetes and hypoglycemia: A right-handed female develops hypoglycemia from anxiety and revulsion, if left-handed she develops insulin-dependent diabetes. A right-handed male develops insulin-diabetes from a conflict of resisting or struggling against something, if left-handed he develops hypoglycemia.
Heart infarct: fight for territory or its content.
Hemorrhoids: both, a right-handed woman with an identity conflict and also a left-handed man with territorial anger in the healing phase will get hemorrhoids.
Multiple sclerosis and Paralysis: inability to escape or continue on or to hold on to or not knowing what to do.
Facial paralysis: fear of losing face, having been made a laughing stock.
Psychoses of all kinds have one or more active Hamer Herds in each of the two parts of the brain.
Vitiligo, Leukoderma: ugly or brutal separation conflict.
In regard to AIDS Dr Hamer observes that no one ever died of AIDS without having previously been told that they are HIV positive or believe that they are. The implication is that just as with cancer, it is the negative perception associated with AIDS that causes its devastating effect.
Left-handed individuals develop problems on opposite sides to genuine right-handed individuals. Handedness can be tested by observing which hand is on top when clapping; this is the leading hand. With right-handedness all muscles at the right side of the body are involved with partners and possibly other individuals and all left-sided muscles with children or the own mother. These conditions may change with hormonal changes as with the birth control pill or menopause.
The Healing Phase
The start of a DHS or conflict-shock experience is different from other conflicts that we experience in our daily lives. It causes a continuous stress resulting in a tendency to develop cold hands and feet, lack of appetite and weight loss, sleeplessness and dwelling all the time on the conflict content. If the conflict does not become resolved soon, the long-lasting stress will lead to specific symptoms and the development of cancer or another disease.
When the conflict resolves, the patient is no longer occupied with the conflict content, the appetite returns, hands are warm again and also normal sleep returns, but there may also be weakness, fatigue and a need to rest. These effects show that the parasympathetic nervous system is now in control. This is the beginning of the healing phase, which can be long and difficult.
During the first part of the healing phase we see water retention and inflammations but the tumor stops growing. This eventually leads to a healing crisis, which Hamer calls an epileptic or epileptoid crisis because it is caused by an edema in the Hamer Herd brain lesion. It shows unique symptoms for each illness.
After this the body starts to expel the accumulated water, the patient gradually regains strength and body functions become normal. Now the connective tissue in the brain, the glia, starts repairing the Hamer Herd. This may be interpreted by conventional radiologists as a fast-growing brain tumor and treated accordingly. Hamer writes that real brain tumors do not exist, as nerve cells in the brain cannot divide.
Hamer estimates that 99% of brain events, such as strokes, bleeding into the brain, cysts and tumors are due to healing events of Hamer Herds and with this temporary and self-limiting unless there is inappropriate medical intervention. The most important support in these situations is the reduction of any brain edema.
During the healing crisis the patient may for a short time re-experience the original psychological conflict with cold hands and cold sweat. This serves to suppress and eliminate the edema in the brain lesion, which then allows other body conditions to normalize. The main danger point is just before the end of the healing crisis when it will become apparent if the body is strong enough to eliminate the disease. In difficult cases with long or strong conflict duration massive brain edema may develop for which Hamer uses cortisone injections. In natural therapy we use an assortment of urea and anti-inflammatory therapies instead.
Urea has strong diuretic properties and an excellent effect in cases of dangerously high fluid pressure in the brain. Generally 20 g of urea are used 2 to 5 times daily. One life-threatening case has been described of a massive ?brain tumor? re-growth that completely disappeared within 2 hours after receiving 256 ml of 30% urea (described in Your Own Perfect Medicine by Martha Christy, Future Med). This report clearly shows that the presumed brain tumor in fact was a massive edema as postulated in the New Medicine.
What Hamer calls the epilepsy crisis may be experienced by the patient as a heart attack, lung embolism, hepatitis or a lung infection. Generally, during the healing phase, the patient will have more discomfort than when the tumor was actively growing. In the first part of the healing phase most problems are due to water retention, inflammations and swelling of tissues that can cause a lot of pain. Hamer regards edema, whether found in the brain or in an organ, as positive, a sign of healing.
Tissue Repair
After the healing crisis adeno-carcinomas are removed by fungi and mycobacteria while hepatitis virus may in addition help to regenerate the liver. At this stage, bacteria, viruses and fungi that help to break down the tumors and repair damaged tissues also cause inflammation, pain and fever.
If you find it odd that Hamer regards microbes as essential friends and helpers in the healing of cancer, he has made an even more surprising discovery. In his ontogenetic system of tumors and cancer equivalent diseases he distinguishes between two opposite processes during the active conflict phase. Depending on the location of the Hamer Herd in the brain, there may be either cell proliferation or cell destruction.
The first group has cell proliferation and tumor growth during the conflict phase and then removes excess cells with the help of microbes during the healing phase. The other group causes cell destruction during the conflict phase resulting in ulcers, necroses and tissue holes affecting for instance bones (osteoporosis), kidneys, spleen or ovaries.
During the healing phase, this second group tries to fill in the created holes through cell proliferation. Tissue necroses and osteolyses (dissolved bone) are now repaired by bacteria that first form abscesses, which are then filled in with scar tissue and later with granulating tissue to form osteosarcoma, lymphoma, fibroma and healing cysts. Also leukemia commonly occurs during the healing phase, as after bone marrow damage from radiation, chemicals or bone cancer.
According to Hamer these conditions are generally self-limiting and only get out of control when additional conflict shocks occur or the body is too old or weak or through the methods of conventional medicine. In contrast, natural healing methods aim to support body and mind during this trying time. Most healings proceed without major problems, but about 10% need the full support of an experienced therapist, especially at the time of the healing crisis.
Healing the Psychic Conflict
The main task in every case of cancer is to find the original emotional shock experience and make sure that it has been healed or is being healed. In many case it will have corrected itself and the patient suffers from an effect of the healing phase.
For instance, someone may have lost a farm or business but has now started another satisfying venture or hobby. As after-effect there may now be a tumor that gradually becomes dormant or eventually disintegrates.? About 40% of tumors discovered during routine medical investigations are said to be old and harmless, that is dormant and calcified. However, complications may still arise if medical intervention now instills a fear of death conflict shock that induces the same or another tumor to grow.
Nevertheless, in other cases the original conflict may still be active or there may be a second active conflict. As we do not know, we have to probe in every case to find the original and any other conflicts. We need to think back, especially one to two years before our problem started and analyze our emotional history during this time as well as before and after. Also meditation and regression therapy may be useful to discover conflict shocks.
If we still have a strong emotional response when we discover the content of the conflict, then we can be sure that it is still unresolved. If at all possible it is best to solve it in a natural way. For instance if it was caused by losing a partner, then find someone new; if you lost a child, become pregnant again or adopt a child or buy a pet. Cancer does not continue to grow after the third month as pregnancy has priority.
If a natural solution is not possible, then use guided imagery either on your own or with the help of a partner or a suitable therapist. In a relaxed and meditative state re-create and re-experience the conflict as intensely as you can but then substitute a desirable or acceptable outcome. Create and experience this new outcome as vividly and detailed as possible, see it, feel it and possibly even hear and smell it. The original experience may also have imprinted you with the memories of unrelated details of your ordeal (tracks) to which you may now react with allergies. You may try to overcome these in the same way with guided imagery.
If neither of these methods is possible because you feel that you have to continue your present duties or ordeal for whatever reason, then only increased spiritual understanding and acceptance may be able to help. In either case, be aware of your vulnerabilities and avoid any further conflict shocks but if one does happen, get it out of your system is soon as possible.
In addition, I firmly believe that all active conflicts will be terminated and the healing phase begin when we are able to strongly feel love and forgiveness within ourselves and then radiate it to all others but especially to anyone who we feel might have wronged us. We can further ease the healing phase by expecting it to be short and mild and lead to full recovery.
It is my perception that full recovery requires a two step program to heal this conflict. The first step involves appropriately expressing the emotional shock experience. When losing a loved one, this means feeling and expressing the inner grief or sadness; when losing a job, asset, or business, this means feeling and expressing the anger, frustration, or disappointment felt at the time. The second step involves repairing the external damage, such as finding another partner, pet, job, business or hobby.
According to Hamer, animals in the wild get cancer from the same shock programs as we do. However, 80 to 90% survive and do not notice much because the healing phase can take its natural course. Those that die are mainly old animals that cannot resolve a conflict, such as regaining their territory from a rival or replacing a lost cub.
It is different in our society as the natural healing process is routinely interfered with. It starts with getting tranquilizers or antidepressants during the active conflict phase, which prevent us from fighting back and regaining our territory. This may then lead to a cancer diagnosis that causes an additional active conflict and ends with morphine, which totally disables our healing responses.
While Hamer does not believe that health foods, remedies, cleansing or healthy living in general can cure cancer, these certainly can be important in order to survive the ordeals of the healing phase. Actually, Hamer regards all diseases as consisting of two phases, initially with active conflict followed (if possible) by a healing phase that reverses the conflict program. He does not call them diseases anymore but rather special biological programs. In all he is stated to have worked with over 31,000 patients and found his theories confirmed in every single case without exception. Hamer claims that overall the New Medicine has a 95% success rate with cancer.
Persecution
Siemens, the manufacturers of the CT equipment have independently verified the existence of the Hamer Herds in the brain. Furthermore, their diagnostic significance was confirmed in 1998 at the University of TRNAVA in Slovakia. Nevertheless, Dr Hamer faced exceptional persecution.
Under German law the right to practice medicine can be withdrawn if the doctor has diminished mental abilities. This law was used in 1986 by a German district court to withdraw his right to practice. As proof of Hamer's inadequate mental condition the court stated that he was not wiling to retract his theories and swear allegiance to the principles of orthodox medicine. Even worse, the court had discovered evidence that he was incapable of converting back to the principles of orthodox medicine: he tried to convince a group of prominent professors of the correctness of his theories only one month before the court case!? One year later the same court requested a psychiatric assessment of his mental abilities, which Hamer refused. A court-appointed psychiatrist, without ever seeing him, diagnosed him anyway as being a psychopath.
In 1997 Dr Hamer was arrested and jailed for 18 months under an obscure natural therapy law introduced under Adolf Hitler to suppress Gypsies. His crime was that he had given free health advice to some individuals who had asked him for his opinion. The public prosecutor had openly stated that all means must be used to remove Hamer from society. Compare this to a delay of the court case for 13 years and then a sentence of only 6 months on probation for the killer of his son. This mild sentence may have something to do with the accused being the Prince of Savoy, the son of the last King of Italy.
Since 1999 Dr Hamer lives in Spain because courts in Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland now want to try him for any cancer patient who died following his advice. According to this reasoning he is a mass murderer because he denied cancer patients the supposedly safe and effective treatment offered by orthodox medicine. There is also a private court case pending against him for a large sum of money because he advised a patient against having chemotherapy. This means that every medical practitioner is now on notice to offer chemotherapy or face financial ruin. This witch-hunt has been compared to the fate of Dr Semmelweis who at the age of 47 died in a mental asylum for suggesting that surgeons wash their hands before operations.
Dr Hamer survived 8 assassination attempts, and the mass media in Germany treat him as a deranged criminal. While many individual doctors, including professors of medicine, have verified the principles of the New Medicine, so far no German university has agreed to test them, despite a court order that the University of Tubingen conduct such tests.
Also doctors and natural therapists in Europe who practice according to the principles of the New Medicine face persecution. In Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain authorities had started proceedings against such doctors to take away their right to practice. Court cases have been going on for years.? Only courts in Spain adopted the enlightened position that it was not their role to decide between conflicting medical theories and therapies. This vicious response of the establishment is understandable because widespread knowledge and application of the New Medicine would mean the end of the medical-pharmaceutical complex.
However, in 2001 a prominent neurologist openly defended Dr Hamer by publishing a book about the New Medicine and demanding that his theories be officially tested. Because Dr Therese von Schwarzenberg also belongs to the high nobility, the mass media are in a bind on what position to take on this. Until now they have only reported about Dr Hamer in the most derogative ways and here is now that high profile personality who claims that Hamer is right and deserves a Nobel Price! Nevertheless, the official response of prominent oncologists still remains that it is totally absurd to assume emotions could be important in the cause and cure of cancer and, therefore, Dr Hamer's claims must not be tested.
Comment
My own understanding and experience leave no doubt about the primary importance of our emotions and beliefs in the cause and cure of our diseases. Furthermore, the writings of Dr Hamer give the impression of a serious and meticulous researcher whose findings have been confirmed by various scientific institutions and medical practitioners, including professors of medicine. Only those continue to denounce him who refuse to look at his evidence.
Therefore I have no doubt about the validity of his basic premise, namely that specific diseases and in particular cancers are associated with visible lesions in specific locations of the brain as well as specific psychological experiences. His postulated two-part disease process in which the healing phase is a reversal of the original disease conditions is a basic concept of natural therapies.
However, Dr Hamer appears reluctant to consider extending or modifying his theory to take other possibilities into account. Basically Dr Hamer postulates a one-way communication from psyche to organ via the brain. I suggest instead a two-way communication from psyche to organ as well as from organ back to brain and psyche.
I like to explain this on an example. I understand that the rate of death from breast cancer in China is one in 10,000 compared to about one in 10 in most Western countries. Professor Jane Plant realized that unlike western and westernised women, the Chinese do not use animal milk or related products. At this stage she had the fifth occurrence of her breast cancer and had been given up to die. As soon as she avoided all milk products her tumour disappeared and for 13 years she is now free of cancer (Your Life in Your Hands by Jane Planet, published Virgin, UK 2000).
As the Chinese have normal rates of some other cancers, there needs to be a special factor that causes these low breast cancer rates. Assuming that it really is milk, I would apply the following reasoning.
Milk is high in insulin growth factor, IGF-1, which stimulates breast tissue to grow during puberty and pregnancy. IGF-1 is also present in the meat of dairy cows and apparently also stimulates other hormone-related cancers, including prostate cancer. Assuming that this causes constant low-level stimulation of breast tissue and the related brain area in milk-drinking or dairy-consuming women, there are now 2 possibilities.
The sensitized brain areas will cause the woman to have a much stronger emotional response than normal to any child or partner conflict, and this causes milk-drinking women to develop more frequent breast cancers.
The second possibility is an existing sub-acute conflict situation or past event that is still subconsciously active. The persistent combined stimulation by a sub-acute conflict in addition to IGF-1 may cause the gradual development of a Hamer Herd or alternatively its sudden appearance when a certain threshold is reached.
In this way any environmental factors can be taken into consideration for creating Hamer Herds in combination with psychological conflicts. Most people presently have a very unhealthy lifestyle in addition to a poor quality of inherited genes. It may well be that really healthy individuals will not develop a Hamer Herd in response to an unexpected emotional shock or that it will be a mild and self-healing event.
In a similar way may appropriate natural therapy directed to a diseased organ give a message to the associated brain area that helps healing the Hamer Herd, and in time also leads to a resolution of the emotional conflict.
A confirmation of the suggested interconnectedness between emotions, nutrients, brain and organs can be found in kinesiology. Research in muscle testing has revealed a relationship between different nutrients and emotions with specific muscles and organs transmitted through the system of acupuncture meridians. However, a surprising finding was the direct involvement of the brain. When an isotopically labeled nutrient was placed in the back of the mouth within seconds the isotope was also detected in the brain.
I suggest that conflict resolution may also happen in unspecific ways. Assuming a patient receives a conflict shock due to a diagnosis of cancer, then this conflict but possibly also the original conflict shock may possibly be resolved if the patient fully believes and expects that the subsequent treatment will be curable. Other possibilities have been suggested under the heading Healing the Psychic Conflict.
The official English-language website of Dr Hamer is at www.newmedicine.ca. However, much more information is on the German website www.pilhar.com. Dr Hamer has written several books of which one is available in English under the title Summary of the New Medicine. http://germannewmedicine.ca/
Cancer is not a Disease - It's a Survival Mechanism (Book Excerpt)
by Andreas Moritz
(NaturalNews) What you are about to read may rock or even dismantle the very foundation of your beliefs about your body, health and healing.
The title, "Cancer Is Not a Disease" may be unsettling for many, provocative to some, but encouraging for all. This book will serve as a revelation for those who are sufficiently open-minded to consider the possibility that cancer and other debilitating illnesses are not actual diseases, but desperate and final attempts by the body to stay alive for as long as circumstances permit.
It will perhaps astound you to learn that a person who is afflicted with the main causes of cancer (which constitute the real illness) would most likely die quickly unless he actually grew cancer cells. In this work, I provide evidence to this effect.
I further claim that cancer will only occur after all other defense or healing mechanisms in the body have failed. In extreme circumstances, exposure to large amounts of cancer-producing agents (carcinogens) can bring about a collapse of the body's defenses within several weeks or months and allow for rapid and aggressive growth of a cancerous tumor. Usually, though, it takes many years, or even decades, for these so-called "malignant" tumors to form.
Unfortunately, basic misconceptions or complete lack of knowledge about the reasons behind tumor growth have turned "malignant" tumors into vicious monsters that have no other purpose but to kill us in retaliation for our sins or abusing the body. However, as you are about to find out, cancer is on our side, not against us. Unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to resist treatment, particularly the most "advanced" methods. If you have cancer, and cancer is indeed part of the body's complex survival responses and not a disease, as I suggest it is, you must find answers to the following pressing questions:
* What reasons coerce your body into developing cancer cells?
* Once you have identified these reasons, will you be able to change them? What determines the type and severity of cancer with which you are afflicted?
* If cancer is a survival mechanism, what needs to be done to prevent the body from taking recourse to such drastic defense measures?
* Since the body's original genetic design always favors the preservation of life and protection against adversities of any kind, why would the body permit self-destruction?
* Why do almost all cancers disappear by themselves, without medical intervention?
* Do radiation, chemotherapy and surgery actually cure cancer, or do cancer survivors heal due to other reasons, despite these radical, side-effect-loaded treatments?
* What roles do fear, frustration, low self-worth and repressed anger play in the origination and outcome of cancer?
* What is the spiritual growth lesson behind cancer?
To deal with the root causes of cancer, you must find satisfying and practical answers to the above questions. If you feel the inner urge to make sense of this life-changing event, (cancer that is), you most likely will recover from it. Cancer can be your greatest opportunity to help restore balance to all aspects of your life, but it can also be the harbinger of severe trauma and suffering. Either way you are always in control of your body.
To live in a human body, you must have access to a certain amount of life-sustaining energy. You may either use this inherent energy in a nourishing and self-sustaining or in a destructive and debilitating way. In case you consciously or unconsciously choose negligence or self-abuse over loving attention and self-respect, your body will likely end up having to fight for its life.
Cancer is but one of the many ways the body tries to change the way you see and treat yourself, including your body. This inevitably brings up the subject of spiritual health, which plays at least as important a role in cancer as physical and emotional reasons do.
Cancer appears to be a highly confusing and unpredictable disorder. It seems to strike the very happy and the very sad, the rich and the poor, the smokers and the non-smokers, the very healthy and the not so healthy. People from all backgrounds and occupations can have cancer. However, if you dare look behind the mask of its physical symptoms, such as the type, appearance and behavior of cancer cells, you will find that cancer is not as coincidental or unpredictable as it seems to be.
What makes 50% of the American population so prone to developing cancer, when the other half has no risk at all? Blaming the genes for that is but an excuse to cover up ignorance of the real causes. Besides, any good genetic researcher would tell you that such a belief is void of any logic and outright unscientific (as explained in the book).
Cancer has always been an extremely rare illness, except in industrialized nations during the past 40-50 years. Human genes have not significantly changed for thousands of years. Why would they change so drastically now, and suddenly decide to kill scores of people? The answer to this question is amazingly simple: Damaged or faulty genes do not kill anyone. Cancer does not kill a person afflicted with it! What kills a cancer patient is not the tumor, but the numerous reasons behind cell mutation and tumor growth. These root causes should be the focus of every cancer treatment, yet most oncologists typically ignore them. Constant conflicts, guilt and shame, for example, can easily paralyze the body's most basic functions, and lead to the growth of a cancerous tumor.
After having seen thousands of cancer patients over a period of three decades, I began to recognize a certain pattern of thinking, believing and feeling that was common to most of them. To be more specific, I have yet to meet a cancer patient who does not feel burdened by some poor self-image, unresolved conflict and worries, or past emotional trauma that still lingers in his/her subconscious. Cancer, the physical disease, cannot occur unless there is a strong undercurrent of emotional uneasiness and deep-seated frustration.
Cancer patients typically suffer from lack of self-respect or worthiness, and often have what I call an "unfinished business" in their life. Cancer can actually be a way of revealing the source of such inner conflict. Furthermore, cancer can help them come to terms with such a conflict, and even heal it altogether. The way to take out weeds is to pull them out along with their roots. This is how we must treat cancer; otherwise, it may recur eventually.
The following statement is very important in the consideration of cancer: "Cancer does not cause a person to be sick; it is the sickness of the person that causes the cancer." To treat cancer successfully requires the patient to become whole again on all levels of his body, mind and spirit. Once the cancer causes have been properly identified, it will become apparent what needs to be done to achieve complete recovery.
It is a medical fact that every person has cancer cells in the body all the time. These cancer cells remain undetectable through standard tests until they have multiplied to several billion. When doctors announce to their cancer patients that the treatments they prescribed had successfully eliminated all cancer cells, they merely refer to tests that are able to identify the detectable number of cancerous cells. Standard cancer treatments may lower the number of cancer cells to an undetectable level, but this certainly cannot eradicate all cancer cells. As long as the causes of tumor growth remain intact, cancer may redevelop at any time and at any rate.
Curing cancer has little to do with getting rid of a group of detectable cancer cells. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are certainly capable of poisoning or burning many cancer cells, but they also destroy healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, etc., which often leads to permanent irreparable damage of entire organs and systems in the body. A real cure of cancer does not occur at the expense of destroying other vital parts of the body.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people who were once "successfully" treated for cancer die from infections, heart attacks, liver failure, kidney failure and other illnesses because the cancer treatments generate a massive amount of inflammation and destruction in the organs and systems of the body. Of course, these causes of death are not being attributed to cancer. This statistical omission makes it appear we are making progress in the war against cancer. However, many more people are dying from the treatment of cancer than from cancer. A real cure or cancer is achievable only when the causes of excessive growth of cancer cells have been removed or stopped.
Power in the Word
Cancer is the second leading "cause" of death for Americans. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.2 million cases will be diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. in 2008. More than 552,000 Americans will die of it. Among men, the top three cancer diagnoses are expected to be prostate cancer (180,400 cases), lung cancer (89,500 cases), and colorectal cancer (63,600). The leading types of cancer among women are breast cancer (182,800 cases), lung cancer (74,600), and colorectal cancer (66,600 cases).
Cancer is not just a word, but also a statement that refers to abnormal or unusual behavior of cells in the body. However, in quite a different context, cancer is referred to as a star sign. When someone tells you that you are a "cancer", are you going to tremble with fear of dying? It is unlikely, because your interpretation of being of the cancer sign does not imply that you have cancer, the illness. But if your doctor called you into his office and told you that you had cancer, you would most likely feel paralyzed, numb, terrified, hopeless, or all of the above.
The word "cancer" has the potential to play a very disturbing and precarious role, one that is capable of delivering a death sentence. Being a cancer patient seems to start with the diagnosis of cancer, although its causes may have been there for many years prior to feeling ill. Within a brief moment, the word "cancer" can turn someone's entire world upside down.
Who or what in this world has bestowed this simple word or statement with such great power that it can preside over life and death? Or does it really? Could it actually be that our collective, social belief that cancer is a killer disease, in addition to the aggressive treatments that follow diagnosis, are largely responsible for the current dramatic escalation of cancer in the Western hemisphere? Too far fetched, you might say! In this book, however, I will make the point that cancer can have no power or control over us, unless we unconsciously allow it to grow in response to the beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, thoughts, feelings we have, and the life choices we make.
Would we be just as afraid of cancer if we knew what caused it or at least understood what its underlying purpose is? Unlikely so! If truth were told, we would most probably do everything to remove the causes and, thereby, set the preconditions for the body to heal itself.
A little knowledge (which is what we call ignorance) is, in fact, a dangerous thing. Almost everyone, at least in the industrialized world, knows that drinking water from a filthy pond or polluted lake can cause life-threatening diarrhea, but still only few realize that holding on to resentment, anger and fear, or eating fast foods, chemical additives, and artificial sweeteners, is no less dangerous than drinking polluted water; it may just take a little longer to kill a person than tiny amoeba can.
Mistaken Judgment
We all know that if the foundation of a house is strong, the house can easily withstand external challenges, such as a violent storm. As we will see, cancer is merely an indication that there is something missing in our body and in life as a whole. Cancer shows that life as a whole (physical, mental and spiritual) stands on shaky grounds and is quite fragile, to say the least. It would be foolish for a gardener to water the withering leaves of a tree when he knows so well that the real problem is not where it appears to be, namely, on the symptomatic level (of withered leaves). By watering the roots of the plant, he naturally attends to the causative level, and consequently, the plant regenerates itself swiftly and automatically.
To the trained eye of a gardener, the symptom of withering leaves is not a dreadful disease. He recognizes that the dehydrated state of these leaves is but a direct consequence of withdrawn nourishment that they need in order to sustain themselves and the rest of the plant.
Although this example from nature may appear to be a simplistic analogy, it offers a profound understanding of very complex disease processes in the human body. It accurately describes one of the most powerful and fundamental principles controlling all life forms on the planet. However skilled we may have become in manipulating the functions of our body through the tools of allopathic medicine, this basic, highly evolved principle of evolution cannot be suppressed or violated without paying the hefty price of side-effect-riddled suffering and pain - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I fervently challenge the statement that cancer is a killer disease. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that cancer is not a disease at all. Many people who received a "terminal" cancer sentence actually defied the prognosis and experienced total remission.
The Need for Answers
There is no cancer that has not been survived by someone, regardless how far advanced it was. If even one person has succeeded in healing his cancer, there must be a mechanism for it, just as there is a mechanism for creating cancer. Every person on the planet has the capacity for both. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you may not be able to change the diagnosis, but it is certainly in your power to alter the destructive consequences that it (the diagnosis) may have on you. The way you see the cancer and the steps you take following the diagnosis are some of the most powerful determinants of your future wellness, or the lack of it.
The indiscriminate reference to "cancer" as being a killer disease by professionals and lay people alike has turned cancer into a disorder with tragic consequences for the majority of today's cancer patients and their families. Cancer has become synonymous to extraordinary suffering, pain and death. This is true despite the fact that 90-95 percent of all cancers appear and disappear out of their own accord. There is not a day that passes without the body making millions of cancer cells. Some people, under severe temporary stress make more cancer cells than usual and form clusters of cancerous cells that disappear again once they feel better. Secretions of the DNA's anticancer drug, Interleukin II, drop under physical and mental duress and increase again when relaxed and joyful. Thus, most cancers vanish without any form of medical intervention and without causing any real harm.
Right at this moment, there are millions of people walking around with cancers in their body without having a clue that they have them. Likewise, there are millions of people who heal their cancers without even knowing it. Overall, there are many more spontaneous remissions of cancer than there are diagnosed and treated cancers.
The truth is, relatively few cancers actually become "terminal." However, once diagnosed, the vast majority of all cancers are never even given a chance to disappear on their own. They are promptly targeted with an arsenal of deadly weapons of cell destruction such as chemotherapy drugs, radiation and the surgical knife. The problem with cancer patients is that, terrified by the diagnosis, they submit their bodies to all these cut/burn/poison procedures that, more likely than not, lead them to the day of final sentencing, "We have to tell you with our deepest regret there is nothing more that can be done to help you."
The most pressing question is not how advanced or dangerous a cancer is, but what we need to do to not end up dying from it. Why do some people go through cancer as if it were the flu? Are they just lucky or is there a mechanism at work that triggers the healing? In other words, what is that element that prevents the body from healing cancer naturally, or what is that hidden element that makes cancer so dangerous, if it is dangerous at all?
The answers to all these queries lie with the response of the person who has the cancer, and not with the degree of "viciousness" or advanced stage it appears to have progressed to. Do you believe that cancer is a disease? You will most likely answer with a "yes," given the 'informed' opinion that the medical industry and mass media have fed to the masses for many decades. Yet, the most pressing yet rarely asked question remains: "Why do you think cancer is a disease?" You may say: "Because I know cancer kills people every day." I would question you further: "How do you know that it is the cancer that kills people?" You would probably argue that most people who have cancer die, so obviously it must be the cancer that kills them. Besides, you may reason, all the expert doctors tell us so.
Let me raise another question, a rather strange one: "How do you know for sure that you are the daughter/son of your father and not of another man?" Is it because your mother told you so? What makes you think that your mother told you the truth? Probably because you believe her; and you have no reason not to. After all, she is your mother, and mothers do not lie about these things. Or do they? Although you will never really know that the person you believe to be your father is, in fact, your father, you nevertheless have turned what you subjectively believe into something that you just "know," into an irrefutable truth.
Although there is no scientific proof whatsoever that cancer is a disease (versus a survival mechanism), most people will insist that it is a disease because this is what they were told to believe. Yet their belief is only hearsay information based on other people's opinions. These other people heard it from someone else. Eventually, the "truth" of cancer being a disease can be traced to some doctors who expressed their subjective feelings or beliefs about what they observed and wrote about in some review articles or medical reports. Other doctors agreed with their opinion, and before long, it became a "well-established" fact that cancer is a vicious illness that somehow gets hold of people in order to kill them. However, the truth of the matter may be quite different.
Wisdom of Cancer Cells
Cancer cells are not part of a malicious disease process. When cancer cells spread (metastasize) throughout the body, it is not their purpose or goal to disrupt the body's vitals functions, infect healthy cells and obliterate their host (the body). Self-destruction is not the theme of any cell unless, of course, it is old and worn-out and ready to be turned-over and replaced. Cancer cells, like all other cells, know that if the body dies, they will die as well. Just because some people assume that cancer cells are there to destroy the body does not mean cancer cells have such a purpose or ability.
A cancerous tumor is neither the cause of progressive destruction nor does it actually lead to the death of the body. There is nothing in a cancer cell that has even remotely the ability to kill anything. What eventually leads to the demise of an organ or the entire body is the wasting away of cell tissue resulting from continued deprivation of nutrients and life force. The drastic reduction or shutdown of vital nutrient supplies to the cells of an organ is not primarily a consequence of a cancerous tumor, but actually its biggest cause.
By definition, a cancer cell is a normal, healthy cell that has undergone genetic mutation to the point that it can live in an anaerobic surrounding (an environment where oxygen is not available). In other words, if you deprive a group of cells of vital oxygen (their primary source of energy), some of them will die, but others will manage to alter their genetic software program and mutate in a most ingenious way: the cells will be able to live without oxygen and derive some of their energy needs from such things as cellular metabolic waste products.
It may be easier to understand the cancer cells phenomenon when comparing it with the behavior of common microorganisms. Bacteria, for example, are divided into two main groups, aerobic and anaerobic, meaning, those that need to use oxygen and those that can live without it. This is important to understand since we have more bacteria in our body than we have cells. Aerobic bacteria thrive in an oxygenated environment. They are responsible for helping us with the digestion of food and manufacturing of important nutrients, such as B-vitamins. Anaerobic bacteria, on the other hand, can appear and thrive in an environment where oxygen does not reach. They break down waste materials, toxic deposits and dead, worn-out cells.
The body sees the cancer as being such an important defense mechanism that it even causes the growth of new blood vessels to guarantee the much-needed supply of glucose and, therefore, survival and spreading of the cancer cells. It knows that cancer cells do not cause but, prevent death; at least for a while, until the wasting away of an organ leads to the demise of the entire organism. If the trigger mechanisms for cancer (causal factors) are properly taken care of, such an outcome can be avoided.
It is commonly believed that our immune system protects us against cancer. However, this is only partially true. On the one hand, the immune system readily destroys the millions of cancer cells that a healthy human body produces as part of the daily turnover of 30 billion cells. On the other hand, the immune system takes no action to eradicate cancer cells that develop in response to a build up of toxins, congestion and emotional stress.
Cancers and all other tissues in the body are larded with cancer-killing white cells, such as T-cells. In the case of kidney cancer and melanomas, for example, white cells make up 50 per cent of the mass of the cancers. Since these T-cells easily recognize foreign or mutated cell tissue such as cancer cells, you would expect these immune cells to attack cancer cells right away. However, the immune system allows cancer cells to recruit it to actually increase and spread the cancer to other parts of the body. Cancer cells produce specific proteins that tell the immune cells to leave them alone and help them to grow
Why would the immune system want to collaborate with cancer cells to make more or larger tumors? Because cancer is a survival mechanism, not a disease. The body uses the cancer to keep deadly carcinogenic substances and caustic metabolic waste matter away from the lymph and blood and, therefore, from the heart, brain and other vital organs. Killing off cancer cells would in fact jeopardize its survival. Cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and waste products through the various cleansing methods advocated in my book Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation (www.ener-chi.com) removes the need for cancer.
Cancer is not a disease; it is the final and most desperate survival mechanism the body has at its disposal. It only takes control of the body when all other measures of self-preservation have failed. To truly heal cancer and what it represents in a person's life we must come to the understanding that the reason the body allows some of its cells to grow in abnormal ways is in its best interest and not an indication that it is about to destroy itself. Cancer is a healing attempt by the body for the body. Blocking this healing attempt can destroy the body. Supporting the body in its healing efforts can save it.

My belief for quite sometime. Many books to review to understand better how to CLEANSE cancer from the self.
Next week - Wed. thru Fri. - I am participating in very specific healing intention work via the Life Vessel here in Santa Fe, NM.
After reviewing much about the Life Vessel, how it works, what it does, and its scientific basis, my intuition led me to commit to three sessions.
Because an powerful energy field is literally created during these sessions (Wed. 10 - 12; Thurs. 10 - 3; Fri. 10 - 12), may I ask you to consider participating in the creation of this morphic field by simply holding a space of DIVINE HEALING, LOVE, ABUNDANCE, JOY, BLISS, AND WELL-BEING, as best as you are able...for me, for you, for all of BEING?
I've sent along some information I believe will be helpful to you in understanding how very important the creation of this energy at this time is.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your participation!
In great gratitude and love,
Ani
Morphic field is a term introduced by British biologist Rupert Sheldrake, the major proponent of this concept, through his Hypothesis of Formative Causation in the early 1980's. It is described as consisting of patterns that govern the development of forms, structures and arrangements. As a new theory challenging established concepts, Sheldrake's theories have received criticism by some members of the scientific establishment, have been ignored by others and have been taken as a possible new line of research by borderline researchers. Morphic field Sheldrake proposes that there is a field within and around a morphic unit which organizes its characteristic structure and pattern of activity. [1] According to this concept, the morphic field underlies the formation and behavior of holons and morphic units, and can be set up by the repetition of similar acts and/or thoughts. The hypothesis says that a particular form belonging to a certain group which has already established its (collective) morphic field, will tune into that morphic field. The particular form will read the collective information through the process of morphic resonance, using it to guide its own development. This development of the particular form will then provide, again through morphic resonance, a feedback to the morphic field of that group, thus strengthening it with its own experience resulting in new information being added ( i.e. stored in the database). Sheldrake regards the morphic fields as a universal database for both organic (living) and abstract (mental) forms.
In layman terms, the theory proposes that any form looks always alike because it "remembers" its form through repetition and that any new forms having similar characteristics will "use" the pattern of similar forms already existing as guide for its appearance.
That a mode of transmission of shared informational patterns and archetypes might exist did gain some tacit acceptance, when it was proposed as the theory of collective unconscious by renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung. According to Sheldrake, the theory of morphic fields might provide an explanation for Jung's concept as well. Also, he agrees that the concept of Akashic Records, term from Vedas representing the "library" of all the experiences and memories of human minds (souls) through their physical lifetime, can be related to morphic fields [2], since one's past (an Akashic Record) is a mental form, consisting of thoughts as simpler mental forms (all processed by the same brain), and a group of similar or related mental forms also have their associated (collective) morphic field. (Sheldrake's view on memory-traces is that they are "non-local", and not located in the brain [1] ).
Morphic Resonance Essential to Sheldrake's model is the hypothesis of morphic resonance. This is a feedback mechanism between the field and the corresponding forms of morphic units. The greater the degree of similarity, the greater the resonance, leading to habituation or persistence of particular forms. So, the existence of a morphic field makes the existence of a new similar form easier.
Sheldrake proposes that the process of morphic resonance leads to stable morphic fields, which are significantly easier to tune into. He suggests that this is the means by which simpler organic forms synergetically self-organize into more complex ones, and that this model allows a different explanation for the process of evolution itself, as an addition to the Darwin's evolutionary processes of selection and variation.
Morphogenetic field For the mainstream developmental biology concept, see Morphogenetic field.
Morphogenetic fields are defined by Sheldrake as the subset of morphic fields which influence, and are influenced by living things. "The term [morphic fields] is more general in its meaning than morphogenetic fields, and includes other kinds of organizing fields in addition to those of morphogenesis; the organizing fields of animal and human behaviour, of social and cultural systems, and of mental activity can all be regarded as morphic fields which contain an inherent memory." — Sheldrake, The Presence of the Past (Chapter 6, page 112) Morphogenetic fields contain the information necessary to shape the exact form of a living thing, as part of its epigenetics, and may also shape its behaviour and coordination with other beings. The term morphogenetic field has also been used in a different sense by mainstream developmental biologists, as regions within a developing embryo that will subsequently develop into particular structures or organs. Since 1920's, mainstream biology has used the term morphogenetic field to mean "that collection of cells by whose interactions a particular organ formed". This usage is distinct from Sheldrake's in that nothing external to the cells themselves is implicated. [3] Sheldrake proposes that his ideas of morphic fields and resonance can give a better account of embryological development in terms of fields acting upon the embryo to give it the characteristic form of the organism.
The morphogenetic field would provide a force that guided the development of an organism as it grew, making it take on a form similar to that of others in its species. DNA, in this view, is not itself the source of structure, but rather a "receiver" that translates instructions in the field into physical form. The principle of morphic resonance implies that the new individuals imprint upon the field, and the field then causes subsequent generations to tend to show that form. In Sheldrake's theory, since humans have a different form to plants (for example) they do not "pick up" the pattern of plants during development.

"In Lak'ech - I am Another Yourself" - Mayan greeting
May I suggest that anyone wishing to accelerate their evolutionary process review this "technology." Divine Intelligence....while always our birthright, always our BEING, is available through this "technology" to simply REMIND.
What is The Life Vessel™? Barry Mcnew invented The Life Vessel™ in 1998. Since then, thousands of people of all ages have experienced benefits from this technology. This non-invasive device uses light, sound, frequency, and vibration.
The Life Vessel™ Santa Fe Center will support your approach to wellness by combining advanced diagnostics, caring physicians, and a compassionate staff committed to your highest possibility for health.
How does it work? The Life Vessel™ detoxifies and removes stress from the body. It also helps balance the Autonomic Nervous System (AN. The ANS regulates every conscious and unconscious function and organ within the body. A balanced ANS is critical to a balanced and effective immune system. If the ANS is out of balance, health will deteriorate and may not improve no matter what else is done.
What is the Protocol? There are 4 one-hour sessions in The Life Vessel™ over a 3-day period; one session the first day, two the second, and one the third. On the first day of the protocol, we do an HRV (Heart Rate Variability) test, which provides the current status of the ANS. It is non-invasive and takes about 15 minutes. The HRV test allows us to monitor future progress. In addition, a series of diagnostic tests will be available to better access specific needs and will be evaluated by our physicians.
How many sessions will I need? Everyone is different, so the number of sessions is dependent on the individual and the severity of the health challenge. In general, significant positive results will be experienced in 4 to 8 one-hour session in The Life Vessel™. The response of your body will determine the total number of sessions required to achieve the level of wellness you desire. Factors that are inherent to the individual's disorder that may increase the number of sessions required are: genetic defects, neurological, bone or muscular damage, chronic viral, bacterial or fungal disease, and cancer.
How often do I need the protocol? People who have ongoing chronic traumatic stress, continuous environmental and/or toxic exposure, or genetic tendencies may require The Life Vessel™ on a monthly basis. Once a person reaches their health goal, that person usually requests a follow-up session every 3 to 12 months as a 'tune-up' for ongoing health maintenance.
Who benefits from the Life Vessel™? Everyone benefits from The Life Vessel™. "The body does not know disease by name.â€� The body only knows wellness and continually strives for that state of homeostasis. The Life Vessel™ relaxes the body, which allows the Autonomic Nervous System to come into balance, while also balancing the body's bio-energy field, removing stress and detoxifying the body all at one time. The results lead to wellness and a healthier and happier individual.
What are my responsibilities when visiting the Life Vessel™? We ask each of our clients to take responsibility for all aspects of their well being. We encourage each client to honestly evaluate the toxic aspects of their lives and to make a conscious decision to change. These changes include toxic food, toxic substances, toxic relationships, and especially toxic thinking. In addition, we cannot allow clients to experience The Life Vessel™ unless they are willing and able to drink one gallon of water each day during the detoxification period of 25 days.
Our Goal... At Life Vessel™ Santa Fe, we believe that many factors contribute both to our health as well as to disease. Those factors are typically centered around imbalance and toxicity. Toxins exist not only in our physical environment, but also in our emotional state. We know that true wellness can only be achieved by regaining balance in our physical body and by removing toxins and toxic emotions from our life. Life Vessel™ Santa Fe offers you a partner in returning to the state of optimum health that you truly deserve.
Also note the "Life Vessel" is available in many states.
(NewsTarget) Toxins?! In my body? Never! Unfortunately, the body has become a dumping ground for many toxic chemicals. We as a society are eating a diet full of acrylamide, sodium nitrate, phytic acid, and hydrogenated oils. Some of our bodies have chemicals that should never have been in there, such as rocket fuel, mercury, lead - among the many others.
We know very little about what this body burden does to us. In fact, in a recent CBC news article, it has been found that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards for lead in the blood of children, which is 10 micrograms per deciliter [mcg/dl], still results in a five-point drop in IQ (intelligence quotient) .
Richard Canfield, a senior researcher in Cornell University's Division of Nutritional Sciences and senior author of the study, said that the safe amount for lead levels in the blood of children are closer to 5 mcg/dl. A total of 194 children were tracked from six months to six years, after which the children had their IQs tested. The group measured the concentrations of lead in the children's bloodstreams at six months, 12 months, 24 months and three, four, five and six years of age.
What they found may not be a surprise. Their conclusion: the higher the lead concentration in the bloodstream, the lower the children's IQs. Considering the high volume of toys recalled lately for lead contamination, this does not bode well for young, developing minds. Over 600,000 products including children's jewelry, pacifiers and paint brushes that violate the allowable lead limits were recalled in the U.S. Wednesday, November 20, 2007.
The Canadian Government is taking a leading role in finding out the body burden of its citizens. It is launching a $3.9-million study to track the environmental chemicals to which pregnant women and their babies are exposed.
They will be looking for such things as phthalates, fire retardants and bisphenol A. Breast milk will also be tested for nutrients and chemicals. Some researchers will be looking at the impact heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, can have during pregnancy.
The Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal will co-ordinate the research, which will take place over a five-year period. The results will be released in 2012. The study is funded by Health Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. This may not end the onslaught of the chemical burden for some consumers, but it will give many people definitive proof about what is in their bodies and how it is affecting the next generation.
What can you do about your body burden?
You can do something right now if you believe your blood stream has become a toxic waste dump. The answer is to detox! A detox period is one where you first eliminate all the nutritional bad guys, which then helps facilitate your body to renew itself and remove the build-up inside. Some things like fat-soluble toxins or heavy metal are not always easy to be rid of in your body. A natural chelating agent, like chlorella and cilantro, are great ways to help rid your body of heavy metals.
One of the best ways to detox is to fast. Fasting comes in many forms; most popular is by eating only vegetables and fruit and they can be raw or juiced. Fasting is not always easy!
The intent of fasting is to give your digestive system a break, while the rest of your body heals itself. I would first suggest doing a colon detox before embarking on a liver detox, or any other type of detox. The best way to start a colon cleanse is by eating only fresh fruits and vegetables (juiced or whole). Just a note – if you choose to detox by juicing, you'll need to add fiber to your diet.
You will be helping your body rid itself of the chemical burden by fasting, and those with lower caloric intake do live longer lives. A short fast, a few times a year will only help you live a longer, more vibrant life. If you choose to fast, or to remove some of the many chemicals that have invaded our lives, you will be helping your body. And if someone asks you about your body burden of chemicals, you can honestly answer, "Toxins?! In my body? Never!"

Whole Grains Found to Stabilize Blood Sugar For up to Ten Hours
by David Gutierrez
(NewsTarget) When eaten as part of a breakfast with a low glycemic index, whole grains can help control blood sugar all day long, according to a study conducted at Lund University in Sweden. A breakfast with a low glycemic index even appeared to improve alertness and mental function.
Anne Nilsson of the Unit for Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry tested the effects of four different types of whole grains and found that in a low glycemic index breakfast, whole grains regulated the body's blood sugar for up to 10 hours. The study suggested that the same effect could be gained from eating whole grains before bed.
Nilsson found that of the four grains tested, barley had the best effect on the body. Breads demonstrated a better effect than a hot cereal such as oatmeal.
The research also demonstrated that those who ate a breakfast with a low glycemic index had better concentration and memory skills for the rest of the morning than those whose breakfast had a higher glycemic index. In related findings, participants whose bodies had a higher tolerance for glucose performed better on such tests than those with a low glucose tolerance.
"These findings indicate that people with great fluctuations in their levels of blood sugar run a greater risk of having a generally lower cognitive ability," Nilsson said. Such fluctuations may be caused by a diet with a high glycemic index.
"In other words," remarked consumer health advocate Mike Adams, author of How to Halt Diabetes in 25 Days, "high glycemic index foods make you stupid. Being stupid, it turns out, makes you buy more high glycemic index foods like sugary breakfast cereal or toaster pastries, and then the cycle of stupidity just gets worse." The way to turn it around and regain cognitive function, says Adams, is to avoid eating grains entirely. "I no longer recommend the consumption of grains. Vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds are the foundations of the diets of the healthiest people. Grains are simply not consumed very much by the healthiest people in society today." Adams is also a proponent of Juice Feasting, described here: http://www.newstarget.com/022367.html
The glycemic index of a food or meal refers to what effect it has on the body's blood sugar. Foods with a low glycemic index, such as those high in complex carbohydrates, cause a slow, sustained rise in blood sugar that does not cause the body's insulin levels to spike. Foods with a high glycemic index, such as those high in refined sugars, cause the body's sugar and insulin levels to rapidly increase and then crash.
(NewsTarget) Enzymes may not share the superstar status of certain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and other miracle nutrients in the world of conventional health and nutrition; yet a growing number of studies suggest that enzymes very much deserve a standing ovation when it comes to improving overall health and the successful treatment of numerous diseases.
Enzymes perform an all-encompassing function in the development and maintenance of the human body. Dr. Edward Howell, father of enzyme nutrition and therapy, stated that enzymes are the very substances that make life possible. Yet mainstream medicine has frequently ignored this basic fact, undervaluing the enzymes' vital role in health and underestimating their true potential in overall health, including disease management and prevention. Proponents and advocates of enzyme therapy regard enzyme bankruptcy as a lethal health catastrophe, causing countless bodies to shut down prematurely.
Know Your Enzymes
Bodies of research have identified more than 3,000 types of enzymes in the human body. As organic catalysts, enzymes are known to initiate, speed up, slow down, alter or halt about 4,000 kinds of biochemical reactions. Millions of biochemical reactions take place in our body on a daily basis, including respiration, food digestion, assimilation and transportation of nutrients, detoxification of certain organs, blood purification, movement of muscles, production and regulation of hormones, and cell renewal and repair, to name a few. The enzymes make all these processes possible, and they are destroyed once they complete their respective tasks.
There are three types of enzymes: digestive, metabolic, and food enzymes. Digestive enzymes are produced by the digestive organs that aid in breaking down food into more assimilable forms. The four general classes of digestive enzymes are: amylase, which digests carbohydrates, starches, and sugars found in grains, fruits, and starchy vegetables; protease, which breaks down protein found in meat, nuts, and cheese into amino-acids; lipase, which breaks down fats and oils found in dairy and meat products into fatty acids; and cellulase, which helps digest fiber.
Metabolic enzymes on the other hand are manufactured by the body's own cells to perform highly specific tasks required in regulating the blood, tissues, and organs. They are responsible for the production and growth of new cells, the repair and maintenance of tissues and organs, transportation of blood to the different organs, and detoxification of the cells, tissues, organs, and blood. Metabolic enzymes also carry out the delivery and absorption of nutrients in various organs.
The third kind of enzymes is the food enzymes. These enzymes are the vital life force naturally found in raw, uncooked food. By definition, raw food is food heated below 118 degrees F, the highest temperature in which enzymes can still survive and function. There are a lot of well-documented cases that attest to the wonderful benefits and healing power of raw food. The enzymes present in raw food work synergistically with the other nutrients like vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, bioflavonoids, antioxidants, and co-enzymes, allowing your digestive system to take its much needed rest and giving your immune system the necessary boost to successfully carry out its search and destroy missions.
The Enzyme and Disease Connection
The problem arises when the body becomes overburdened in producing enzymes due too poor dietary choices like eating cooked, highly processed and preservative-laden foods. According to research, food enzymes are heat-sensitive and die when heated at temperatures above 118 degrees F. When a person ingests enzyme-less food, his body then diverts a lot of its energy to the production of digestive enzymes to break down the carbohydrates, protein, fat, and other nutrients of the food. If a person has been eating cooked, unhealthy food most of his life, his body's line of defense may already be exhausted in its fight against diseases associated with diets high in sugar, sodium, additives, trans and saturated fat, and carcinogenic substances.
This is further compounded by a person's genetic predisposition to certain diseases. The body then struggles more to achieve homeostasis or internal equilibrium, which is needed for all the organ systems to run smoothly and to function properly. Because a lot of energy gets allotted to the manufacturing of digestive enzymes, the production of metabolic enzymes becomes disrupted. The more important tasks of providing immune system back-up, blood purification, and organ detox needed in fighting off disease all take a backseat to the digestion of cooked food. Nevertheless the body does not stop recognizing an unfriendly invasion when it sees one, and in a greatly strained attempt to set all things back to order, it goes on a red-alert mode and uses all its limited energy to follow its natural tendency - which is to heal itself. The body is not meant to be in a state of emergency for a prolonged period of time. When this happens, the body finally breaks down and serious diseases like cancer develop.
Other diseases linked to enzyme deficiency include heart disease, which is a sign of the body's inability to break down fats. Autoimmune diseases such as allergies and arthritis on the other hand are the results of the body's incapacity to digest protein and carbohydrates.
The Enzyme Advantage
Studies indicate that increasing your raw food intake and taking enzyme supplements can be very potent measures in the prevention and healing of certain diseases including cancer. Although raw food already has its own enzymes to digest its own nutrients, the undigested substances circulating in the blood that are responsible for a lot of diseases would need extra enzymes before they could be broken down for elimination. This is where enzyme support comes in handy. The high concentration of enzymes in enzyme supplements can dissolve all the unfriendly substances floating in the bloodstream that are causing damage to various organs. Since bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells are made up of protein, proteolytic or protein-metabolizing enzymes such as protease would greatly assist in destroying pathogens and cancer cells. White blood cells are also heavily dependent on enzymes; a shortage on their supply would therefore result in impaired immune function. It is for these reasons that a megadose of enzyme supplements is usually required to restore health to cancer patients.
Various experiments conducted on enzymes demonstrate their versatility and efficacy. Combined with a proper diet and other nutritional supplements, enzymes can perform tasks that are nothing short of miraculous. The use of enzymes among athletes suffering from injury and patients who underwent surgery accelerated the recovery and healing of both groups. In one study, a marked improvement was noted among arthritic patients consuming raw food. In another study, a control group of hypertensive and obese outpatients experienced a significant improvement in their conditions on a raw vegan diet. Enzymes have also been shown to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy among cancer patients. Countless allergy sufferers reported relief upon increasing their enzyme intake. Other reported benefits include the elimination of digestive and colon problems, hay fever, asthma, inflammation, hypoglycemia, and Crohn's disease.
With all the positive reports that enzymes are receiving, it is only high time that enzymes get the big publicity they so much deserve, and cease to be the underrated nutrients that they currently are.
