Your doctor has said
"C" word and you're puzzling: "What do I do now? There seem to be so many options. The doctor is pressing me to get on with surgery and chemotherapy/ radiation. Help!"I've been there. I know. Unfortunately for my dear wife, there was no readily available information in 1990-1994 (or, at least, I failed to find it)... Now, there's too much on Internet and in books, newsletters, etc.
A SOUND APPROACH
Of all hundreds of people I have now watched overcome their cancer, there seem to be four "essentials" that they all have. I call them "Four A's."
ATTITUDE -- all cancer survivors share a positive attitude. They know that they, not their doctors, are in charge of their health. They know that all cancers, regardless of type or "stage," can be brought back under control. They know that they must co-doctor for all reasons you have already learned about our conventional medical "system."
ADVOCATE -- Virtually all cancer survivors I know also had a loved one or friend willing to help them. How? * To do necessary research to get "smarter than their oncologist." * To accompany them to doctor's office. * To help them decide when to get a second (or third, or fourth) opinion and help them find a "holistic" doctor. * To help them find and order cheapest and best quality supplements.
Cancer patients often get depressed, tired or just plain disgusted with struggle to overcome their disease. Get an "advocate."
ASSISTANCE -- Cancer recovery is not a "do it yourself" project. Every cancer survivor has had supervision of their treatment and recovery by a qualified medical professional. The letters after his or her name are meaningless (M.D., D.O., N.D., D.C., etc.). What is important is that you, cancer patient, literally trust them with your life
Again, resources for finding such a doctor through Internet directories are phenomenal. My book has eleven such web directories in Chapter 1. But don't neglect "jungle" telegraph." Ask all your friends (who agree with your approach). I don't have cancer. But I did what I recommend you do and found my "holistic" doctor through a "holistic" dentist who had treated my current wife.
ACTION -- Get on with it! Don't wait to begin taking useful supplements (Chapter 5 in my book) until you've found perfect doctor. Start today. Cancer cells continue multiplying out of control every day. They're not at "Parade Rest" while you decide what to do. Time matters. Get going!
IMMUNE SYSTEM STIMULATION
Whatever else you decide to do -- whether it's surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, alternative treatments or some combination of all of them -- you must build up your immune system -- immediately. One of world's experts on immune system who has treated hundreds of cancer patients told me he had never seen one with a strong immune system. With what you know about nature of cancer, this should not come as a surprise. My immune system is controlling cancer cells that exist in my body every day. Yours is not. End of story.
