Remission & Recurrence

First Do No Harm

"And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment." Mark 2:25-27

When I read the Scripture above, I used to think that perhaps the physicians this woman had seen were just crooks.  How was it possible to have been seeing "many" physicians for 12 years - exhausting all of her money - and yet not get any better, but to get worse?  Surely the physicians must have been taking advantage of her.

However, dealing with cancer shed new light on this for me.  I can honestly say that I think every physician I saw (and I had never seen so many different doctors in my life) wanted what was best for me; they desired to see me fully recover.  Yet, is it possible that the medical treatments and diagnostic tools they referred for me were doing more harm than good?

Big Bucks, Big Pharma

This documentary pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain.

Focusing on the industry's marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which Direct-To-Consumer pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors.

Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment.

Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important questions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being.

Protocel

After telling me that He wanted me to pursue a "natural" treatment (with me having NO idea what that meant at the time), Jesus led me to Protocel.

Protocel was developed about 50 years ago by a chemist named James Sheridan. It uses a process called Anaerobic Cellular Reduction Technology to disable the energy-producing mechanism of cancer cells. 

When it comes to cells in our body, we have two kinds, "aerobic" a healthy cell which uses oxygen, and "anaerobic" an unhealthy cell that does not use oxygen (like cancer cells).  While the human body is naturally equipped to identify & destroy these unhealthy cells, diet, lifestyle, habit, heredity and environment can hinder the body's natural healing ability.

By slightly reducing the energy of the cells in our body, Protocel forces the cancer cells to die, thereby kicking in the body's natural processes in identifying and dismissing these unhealthy cells.  Through a process called lysing, the cancerous cells are broken up and disposed of by the body while having no adverse effect on healthy cells. 

Natural Defenses in Preventing and Treating Cancer

We discussed in the last post about the affects of sugar on cancer cell growth.

In the video below, Dr. David Servan-Schreiber (a physician and neuroscientist) speaks of his own battle against cancer.  Dr. Servan-Screiber had chemotherapy and radiation to help treat his brain cancer, but the cancer returned. He soon realized that if he relied on "conventional" treatments alone, he would likely die.

In order to help overcome cancer, he conducted a lot of research into how foods either help or hinder cancer recovery and identifies the results of his research in using diet to help combat cancer.

Taking Back A Godly Heritage

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29

When Jesus told me that He wanted me to use a natural treatment against cancer, I began to look into what that meant.  What is a "natural" treatment?

While there is a lot of information available about using plants & herbs to heal, most of it is being promoted from a wiccan, pagan, or new age perspective.  In fact, it is very hard to find information about natural healing that is not tainted by such views.  I asked the Lord, "God, surely you don't want me to get involved with all of this?"

Yet, who is the Creator of all things?  Did not God Himself tell us that He has placed plants & herbs down here for our food and our health?
