The church calls them miracles. The medical community categorizes them as anomalies. My favorite description comes from the wonderful world of quantum physics: The microtubules in your neurons are quantumly entangled to the universal consciousness and it is possible to harness that energy to heal the body. My apologies to physics if I have not stated that correctly – but no matter. Whatever you call it, spontaneous remission is a thing. Yes, it is rare, but it does happen and it isn’t as rare as many people think it is.
I am not naïve. I have a technical background. I understand the math. I also understand the odds when it comes to winning the lottery. It is a long shot, but it is possible. People do win. I’m buying a lottery ticket. If I win, I win my life and that is more important to me than money. Some people are going to win the spontaneous remission life lottery. I want to be one of them – or maybe someone who was helped by reading this – or maybe both of us!
As far as I know, the leading researcher on this is Dr. Jeffrey Rediger. Anyone interested in this topic should do their own research and not rely on what I say. Read his book. Watch his interviews. I am not in any way qualified to summarize his work nor the work of anyone else in this field. But I can present what steps I am taking to try and cure myself. I do seriously want to stress that I am taking everything western medicine has to offer. But what they have to offer is not enough. I have just begun this journey and here’s my WIP.
The basics are pretty easy to guess: Improving your nutrition, de-stressing your life, healing your inner traumas, creating a life plan and a will to live. Of course, you should not rule out any religious or faith-based avenues. Try what makes sense and works for you.
Reducing stress can be a tuff one. I have a history of waking up each morning with a long list of things I need to do – a list that grows longer and longer. It is a stressful way to begin the day.
I am fortunate enough to have recently begun drawing social security. I hadn’t planned on retiring yet, but I have a small business, and I have been able to reduce my workload to almost zero. I do enjoy what I do for a living and now I have the best of both worlds. I realize not everyone has this luxury, but I do and I’m taking advantage of it.
My new job is to cure myself. That is my job. I have a new list of things to do, which is very short. Step one is to de-stress before proceeding to step 2. I might take a walk or read a book or watch a cool podcast – or maybe just take a nap. Step 1 – de-stress. Step 2 can wait till tomorrow if need be. Plenty of time.
This is already paying off. My level of stress and feelings of depression have improved dramatically in a very short time. I may not beat the cancer by doing this – but it’s hard to see how I will beat it if I don’t.
As far as my inner trauma goes, this is of course personal and not very relevant to anyone else. But I would suggest that perhaps part of this process is to try and be reflective and reach out to your loved ones for support. You never know what might pop up.
Just days ago, a relative related a terrible secret that had been hidden in the family for over 50 years. Without going into detail – I will say that this has been an earthshaking revelation that is allowing me to address some very deep trauma caused by a person who I both loved and hated at the same time. This is a huge piece of information I desperately needed now – right now. This is the key I needed to unlock this damage and expel it. A new truth has been revealed to me. I told my relative that they have either saved my life – or allowed me to die a happier man because I now know what path I need to take to resolve this – the main source of my inner pain.
I am not a religious person, but my relative is. I told them it was Divine intervention that caused them to relate this information to me when they did. We can both agree on that. They believe it came from God. I believe it came from the quantum entangled universal consciousness…in other words – the same thing as far as I’m concerned.
I already knew I needed therapy. It was on my short list. This news was a neon sign in my face impossible to ignore. OMG I need therapy, and I need it now! A nuclear bomb just landed in my childhood trauma. 1 De-stress. 2 Get a therapist.
Live or die – I am going to have a life with less inner pain than I would have – but I do think I just might beat this and if I do, this dear relative of mine will be the reason. You never know what might turn up from the past.
As far as the rest – life plan, will to live…well I’m still working on that. But writing this is part of the process. I need to transition to a new purpose. I want to give back to the community. I want to make the world a little better place while I still can.
I turned 60 a few years back. That day, I decided to set my life expectancy to 120 - still half my life left. Why not? I wouldn’t be the oldest person who ever lived. Might as well shoot high.
If I die in a few years, I can deal with it. I’m not afraid of death – at least I don’t think so. It’s not keeping me awake at night. I’d rather spend a few more decades in this world. If that is not to be, I know the work I’m doing for myself now is going to make whatever life I have left better than it would have been. It’s worth the effort regardless of the ultimate outcome.
I hope this will help someone else who is facing a similar situation.
