Cancer is manifested by a tumor that grows and ultimately spreads all over the
body. Initially the tumor is localized
and may be successfully treated with
surgery, irradiation or chemotherapy. Yet once the tumor spreads into remote
organs, cancer is virtually incurable. When this happens the treatment is aimed at
slowing down cancer
progression and prolonging its remission.
There are two ways to slow down cancer progression:
1. The traditional, practiced by medicine, which aims at reducing the tumor
load by the above mentioned measures and 2. An
alternative way, aimed at
boosting the resistance against cancer, which is practiced by the Holistic
medicine known also as Alternative medicine. In advanced cancer holistic methods
are as effective as chemotherapy. Unfortunately
medicine ignores this treatment modality.
I have encountered holistic methods when studying patients with advanced cancer who lived with their
disease in peace for years. I was impressed by the following epidemiological
study. Around the year 1950, 3500
Caucasian American women were diagnosed as having breast cancer. Their tumor spread into the axillary nodes which
indicates that it started spreading out.
Their breasts where removed, and since at that time chemotherapy was not yet
available, they did not receive any additional treatment. As time went by some women succumbed to
cancer. However 24% lived with their disease for at least 20 years. Take for instance a woman who died after 20
years. All this time she had cancer, appeared healthy and did not require any treatment until the
disease flared up and killed her. Her
body knew how to live with cancer in peace for years. Her body had a wisdom
which succeeded slowing down cancer progression. What was its secret?
I therefore started to study similar
long survivors, and found out that many were helped by practitioners of
holistic (alternative) medicine. For the last 15 years I studied their methods
and met with healers. I published my findings in the Internet. The book is
called “Cancer and Wisdom of the Body.”

It is presented in three levels:
1. Advice to patients how to slow down the progression of their cancer.
2. Explaining doctors the medical
significance of holistic treatments.
3. Examining the philosophies of the two medical approaches.
