We have been taught to trust our doctors. That their word is the word and ultimately they know what’s best and in some ways that is very true, our doctors are smart and well educated in their field and they may have studied the human body inside out more than a few times, but that still does not make them superior over YOUR body.
A doctor will issue a prescription based on symptoms and on the training and experience they have received, but that does not always mean that what they are prescribing is exactly what the unique constitutional make up of your exact body needs.
Chemotherapy is often issued to help shrink a tumor before surgery, or to help get rid of residual cancer cells after surgery, it can be used on it’s own or in conjunction with other treatment methods.
A lot of the time when chemotherapy is issued it is effective in destroying cancer cells and shrinking tumors in various forms of cancer in some people.
This does not make chemotherapy a cure and I will tell you why.
The 5 year survival rate for chemotherapy is on average 36%. This varies across different cancers as the survival rate is higher for some cancers and much lower in others with the use of chemotherapy, and those numbers do not indicate that during or after the 5 years the cancer does not come back.
I am not telling you this information to scare you or discourage you or to change your mind about your treatment plan in fact I am telling you for the opposite reason.
I want this information to liberate and activate you, I want you to see that the treatment for cancer lies more in your own hands than in the hands of a stranger writing scripts.
I have met so many people who are prescribed chemotherapy for their cancer, not given much information on lifestyle and diet changes and just accept this as their method of treatment and change nothing else
I have the most respect for conventional medicine and I see where it’s uses are necessary and I have also seen where chemotherapy has been able to give people more time that they otherwise may not have had, but that still does not change the truth and the facts about what it actually does to your body or the long term survival rate, not at this point at least.
Here is why you need more than just chemotherapy.
Cancer is a symptom, it is not the cause. If the symptom is treated but the root is left to grow, cancer can and will grow again if the environment in which it grew in the first time remains the same, or worse even.
If you choose chemotherapy as your method of treatment what is important to understand is that you cannot trust that the chemotherapy alone will put an end to your cancer and in fact you must know that the chemotherapy can and will tax your body of strength and immunity.
This is why it is so imperative that the environment in which the cancer grew changes completely and that the same environment is also very much supported during treatment and recovery.
Diet and Lifestyle
Changing the way you ate, drank and were merry prior to your diagnosis is key to returning to full health.
Doctors are very skilled in their field of medicine and science but most oncologists are not going to give you dietary and lifestyle recommendations that are going to be specific to healing your cells and helping your body to get rid of the cancer cells.
You must change your diet and although this sounds so extreme to a lot of people, the most important thing you can do is put in the foods, vitamins minerals and nutrients that nourish and protect your cells.
What you think, you become
Your thoughts create your reality. If your thoughts are constantly on the side of illness and negativity than the chances of you being ill are going to be higher. Low vibration thoughts and feelings create an environment in your body for disease to thrive, misery, after all, does love company.
A cancer diagnosis can completely change the way you think and feel but it is so important that your thoughts, during this time especially, stay very positive and uplifting.
Choosing affirmations and mantras to recite daily will help create a better reality for you.
Energy and Emotions
We all have things that have happened in our lives that sit with us, sometimes they’re down real deep and don’t come up often unless there is a trigger and others are things we think about and feel almost on a daily basis. Whichever it is for you, if it is not addressed and released, your body cannot fully heal. Suppressing emotions causes energy blockages in the body and if you can imagine a block in a drain pipe, eventually the gunk gets built up and back up and damage begins to happen.
Emotional and energy healing can be done in a number of ways, it is important to start where you feel comfortable but committed to healing what you have been carrying around for far too long.
Understanding that chemotherapy is only a small part of your cancer treatment puts you in a place of power over your diagnosis and recovery.
It is important that you understand what your exact body needs and give it the love, care, nutrients, time and rest that it needs for a full recovery.
Never forget the miracle that you are.
