When the reproductive tissue, which maintains the genetic blueprint (DNA) of the cells, is starved of
oxygen and nutrients, it is only a matter of time before normal and healthy cells begin to mutate their
genes and abnormally divide in order to survive the ‘famine.’ Normally, a host of immune cells,
pancreatic enzymes and vitamins break down cancer cells in the body, wherever they appear. However,
most of the digestive enzymes are “used up” quickly when the diet is rich in animal protein, such as meat,
pork, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese and milk, as well sugar-enriched foods. Mary practically lived on these
foods. Having suffered from poor digestion and constipation for nearly all her life, Mary’s body was
practically deprived all of these natural antidotes to cancer cells. Cancers are much more likely to occur
among those whose digestive functions are continually disturbed and who are deprived of a sense of
emotional well-being than in those whose digestive system is efficient and who generally have a happy
disposition.
The spondylosis of Mary’s lower spine signifies weakening of her internal and external support
system; it manifested in direct response to the lack of support and encouragement by her parents. Mary’s
body slumps forward while she sits, and looks half its size. She looks like a scared child, without
confidence and trust. Her posture suggests that she is trying to protect her heart from being hurt again. In
addition, her breathing is shallow and insufficient, as if she does not want to be noticed and possibly be
criticized or disapproved of by her parents. The knees serve as a support system for the entire body. A
lifetime of “giving in” and “not standing up for herself and her desires” manifested as the knee problems
she developed over the years.
Mary’s Personal Remedies
Japanese research has shown that cancer patients whose cancerous tumors went into spontaneous
remission, often within less than 24 hours, experienced a profound transformation in their attitude towards
themselves before the sudden cure occurred. Mary needed to make several major changes in her life; one
of which was to change her job, even if this meant fewer earnings for her and her children. While Mary
was still highly susceptible to stressful situations and chaotic noise, the tense atmosphere present at her
school was hardly conducive to the healing process. She also needed to spend more time in nature, walk
in the sun and on the beach, paint her impressions, listen to her favorite music and devote some time in
quietness and meditation every day.
Apart from following an Ayurvedic daily routine and diet, Mary began to use a number of cleansing
procedures to rid her colon of stagnant, old fecal matter and to purify the blood, liver, and connective
tissue from accumulated toxins. The liver flush produced thousands of stones that had affected both her
liver and gallbladder for at least 15 - 20 years.
The most important thing for Mary was to become more conscious about everything in her life. This
included eating, emotional releases, listening to the body’s signals of thirst, hunger, tiredness, etc. She
needed to become aware of her needs and desires and begin to fulfill them whenever possible. The most
important realization she had to make was that she did not need to do anything that did not please her.
Giving herself the permission to make mistakes, and not judge herself if she made them, was essential
therapy for her.
Mary’s friends and family also needed to understand that she was at a very crucial stage of recovery
where every positive thought and feeling towards her could serve as a tremendous support system, one
that she never had when she was young. Mary started to improve steadily six months after she adopted
about 60% percent of my recommended advice. Today she feels that the disease has brought her a deeper
understanding of life and has led to an inner awakening she had never experienced before. Today, while
free of cancer, Mary continues to improve and grow in confidence and self-acceptance.
