Cancer is a disease that affects the
whole system of the body. It is not the
dysfunction of any organs but the
failure of the whole body which is
caused by food, way of life, thoughts,
and perception of the world. By these
factors, the immune system is weakened,
then cancer finally occurs.
At present,
it has been proved that cancer is also
influenced by heredity. This means that
normally our chromosomes contain some
genes with tendency for cancer. However,
genetics has also shown that there are
factors which will trigger these genes
such as food and way of life.
Losing
encouragement is considered one of the
major problems for cancer patients. A
number of evidences have indicated that
patients with willpower can overcome
their crisis and recover quickly.

Read a Research |

20
years ago, most doctors usually
concealed the result of diagnose
from their patients. However, as
time passed by, this perception
had started to change. A
research conducted by Dr. Dennis
Novak published in the American
Medical Association's journal in
1979 revealed that 97% of
doctors prefer telling the truth
to their patients which is
contrary to the statistic 2
decades ago, more than 90% hid
the truth from their patients.
In fact, most patients already
realize their condition either
consciously or subconsciously.
Dr. Bernie S. Seagale, a surgeon
and the founder of cancer
survivor group pointed out that
lying or trying to avoid
problems can create a gap among
family members which is actually
the time for unity. Patients'
children usually say to the
doctor "Please don't tell my
mother." But when he asked the
mother, she replied "I think I
have cancer." As a result, they
can talk openly. |

Way to Give Encouragement |
| |
|
Firstly, cousins of the patients
should realize their roles as it
often appears that the first
person who loses encouragement
is the cousin and they are the
one who think for the patients
that if they know the truth they
will feel discouraged as well.
Therefore, they are the first
who need encouragement. If
cousins are in despair, how can
the patients have a spirit to
fight with cancer. |

From the doctor Encouragement comes from
confidence that patients have for their
doctors. The important thing is the
ability in surgery, radiotherapy,
chemotherapy, or naturopathy. However,
the factors that come first is mercy,
acceptance, and willingness to give time
and suggestion to their patients.

2. |
Find knowledge from other sources
At present,
there are many sources that give
knowledge about how to treat cancer such
as books or cassettes about naturopathy
in both theory and practice or books
which talk about the patients'
experience.

|
Talk to other cancer patients
This is one of the very effective ways
to find encouragement. Nowadays, there
is a cancer treatment called "group
therapy" which is organized by Dr.
Bernie S. Seagale, Mcgerson institute
and naturopathy course by Balavi Natural
Health Center

Holistic medicine
Patients should treat themselves with
naturopathy while receiving traditional
medicine at the same time. In some
cases, the patients recover so quickly
that they feel encouraged to continue
their practice.

5.

Practice religious rites, listen to
sermons, and meditate
Any rites such as do something to avert
a catastrophe, sprinkle holy water on
the head or body for a blessing, etc.
that patients believe to be true. If
they do it and feel encouraged, then it
is useful. However, be careful not to
waste too much money with those who
perform the ritual. Sometimes, they can
be tricky.
Nevertheless, in the past, some cancer
patients had changed crisis into chance
by turning to religious or living their
lives with meditation. After that, there
had been reports showing their cancer
was cured. This proves that
encouragement and mental power are two
essential factors for cancer treatment. |
