With the epidemic proportions of 8,000,000 people dieing yearly globally from cancer. While 500,000 of those here in the United States, with that steadily increasing (in 1900 1:20 got cancer, 1940 1:16, 1970 1:10 and 2000 that figured climbed to 1:3.) When given the prognosis that you have cancer while faced with second opinions and constant fear. People seek options when doctors tell them nothing else can be done and to get your affairs in order… we have to allow the cancer to run it’s course.
When people enter into that fight or flight scenario …they seek whatever means they can find for that answer to cancer. I found in the aftermath it’s alot easier to discover without the stress of time weighing you down. Often for many cancer patients that avenue takes them South of the Border, with the general conclusion: “the grass might be greener.” However, unless you choose the right clinic that might be the wrong approach. You have to keep your faith and hope something good will come of it!!!
With one exception to that option being renown Dr. Francisco Contreras, at Oasis of HOPE. With many patients given up on by main stream medicine or red flag by insurance because age is against you. Donald Factor, son of cosmetic giant Max Factor; while in 1987 was given 4 months to live with lung cancer, so he turned to Oasis of HOPE. At Oasis of HOPE they believe in transforming negative automatic thoughts into positive energy.
What this thought process does is helps the body to heal on it’s own and what Dr. Francisco so aptly does is combine non traditional with the very nature of conventional treatment…. making radiation and chemotherapy more purposeful. While using metabolic therapy to help the body to detox and that aids the patient to renew themself. Through emotional support and spiritual fortitude. Clinic Trials at Duke University states faith is directly related to overcoming chronic illness and they also practice some of the same procedures at Duke University Integrative Center.
