CHAPTER 1 How to make the integrated cancer medicine revolution work for you
ОглавлениеRight now, if you are newly diagnosed or have been re-diagnosed with cancer, you may be feeling dispirited, frightened and confused. It is vital that you consider the following encouraging facts:
One | Cancer is a two-way process – it can grow but it can also shrink or go into remission. |
Two | People have recovered from every kind of possible cancer and are still alive to tell the tale. |
Three | A healthy body has detection and repair mechanisms specifically for cancer cells. The integrated medicine approach works to repair and boost these natural anti-cancer processes in the body. |
Four | There are many factors in addition to orthodox medicine, over which you have primary control, and which can positively affect your health and well-being. |
Five | Your personal response to your cancer can make a huge difference to both your quality of life and chances of survival. |
Six | You are unique and the average medical statistics do not always apply to individuals. |
Seven | Your conventional treatment is only one component of your approach to fighting cancer. |
Eight | It is vital that you do not rely too much on the effectiveness of medical treatment alone to ‘cure’ you of cancer. Give up the passive patient role and join forces with your doctors, and become as pro-active as you can about recovering your health. |
Nine | It is you and not your doctors who are in overall charge of your situation. |
Ten | Astonishingly, many of those who have embarked upon the integrated-medicine approach to cancer have ended up admitting that they are actually glad they had cancer because they now feel so much happier, healthier and more alive than ever before. |
Continue re-reading this list of facts until the message sinks in!
