So, it's been hours, days or even a few weeks since you were told you have cancer. As many of us have experienced before, maybe you've felt panic or intense sadness and fear. Because of the healing benefits of time, maybe the panic/fear has started to subside a little. What's next? What do you do now?
What are the next steps? Are there any steps? Is there a proper and/or correct way to try and begin dealing with this THING that has entered your world and looks inconceivable and massive? Of course, the doctors can schedule us for additional tests, surgery and maybe even treatments. The question I posing though is what can we ( the person with the cancer) do? Of course, I'm assuming you are well enough to take action. Maybe that's not the case. I can only write and talk from my experience. I've been told three different times in my life I had cancer. Hopefully, I won't have to be informed a fourth time. However, if I am, I feel much much more prepared to start taking action right away. I'm spending time on this point (actually this is the underlying message of this book) because its just my personal belief the actions I take on my own to rid myself of cancer could be the most effective and powerful part of the whole healing process. How do I know that? I don't. I can't verify it. I have no proof whatsoever. It's a hunch. My gut tells me it is so. That's enough for me. I don't need confirmation by others. Knowing there are simple common sense steps I can take on a daily basis gives me a feeling that I'm "in the game" fighting. Psychologically, it keeps me up and motivated. I'm able to remain positive more easily. I don't want to have the feeling that I've turned it all over to the "professionals" and God and that's it. I've watched many do that. Some survived. Many didn't. Even if I hadn't survived, at least I could've died knowing that I was right in there doing everything I could toattempt to alter the outcome.
I guess I've viewed my body as kind of a machine. Parts wear out. What kind of fuel (food and drink) do you put in "the machine?" Cleaning burning fuel? Junk? Be honest. Just take a look. Don't beat yourself up about what you see. Well, that was easy to say. Go ahead. Beat yourself up. Feel bad for an hour or two. Just go through it and then let it go. Feeling bad about yourself, feeling guilty about your past isn't going to fix the present moment's situation.
Do you drink alcohol? If yes, what do you think? Do ya think maybe you should cool it for a while?
Do you smoke? If so, do you think that habit is going to help get you through this? I'm not here to preach or judge. Do your homework. I researched already. I couldn't find anywhere a recommendation to drink alcohol or smoke tobacco to beat cancer.
Now it might be incredibly difficult to break some of these lifestyle habits. I understand. Is it worth it? Do you want to live longer if it means you might have to make some serious adjustments in what you've been putting in your body? That's a personal question we all have to ask and answer ourselves.
I'm talking about slowly over the course of a few days, taking a look at your life. Start a process to overhaul the "operating system" we call our body. For example, how much water do you usually drink a day? Be honest. One maybe two glasses? Maybe more? Drinking good clean healthy water is one of the very best ways we can begin immediately to flush the system. Cleansing. Begin a "clearing out" process. Start with water. I think I was told back in school the human body is over 80% water. Is that right? Ok. There ya go.
What about sleep? How much do you usually sleep? Recently, I talked with a successful businessman. He kind of seemed proud to tell me he only sleeps 3-4 hours a night. I think some people can do that for a while. Maybe they can do it for a few decades. I wonder if there's a price for not sleeping much? I know from experience when my body has active cancerous tumors, my body needs more rest. Actually, my body cries for that rest. It's during those sleeping hours my body has a chance to try and repair itself. Don't believe it? Research the real purpose of melatonin in the body. Melatonin will only circulate in the body to kill cancer cells when we are sleeping in darkness. I heard recently, the body and melatonin can be tricked by local cellphone and wi-fi signals. So, even if I'm sleeping before midnight, a nearby wi-fi signal makes the body think it's still daylight. Therefore, no melatonin is released to repair damaged cells which accumulated in my body the previous day.
Does this seem to tough so far? Too difficult? No alcohol? No smoking? Drinking plenty of water? Getting lots of sleep? Too hard?
Just one question...how much do you want to beat cancer?
