Believing in miracles  -  a message of hope




During the rare times that doctors in the US go on strike, the death rate always goes down.

Alternative health guru Dr Larry Dossey often cites this phenomenon as evidence of rampant iatrogenesis (death by doctoring), but mounting evidence suggests that there could be another reason . . .

Cases of spontaneous remission - where serious, often fatal illnesses cure themselves with no obvious external or medical intervention - have been so widely documented to suggest that they are not as rare as we are led to believe by the medical establishment.

Indeed, one very recent case reported by scientists at the University of Nevada cites the example of a 78-year-old man with malignant fibrous histiocytoma and multiple lesions in both lungs. Following the diagnosis, he declined conventional chemotherapy and chose nutritional treatment instead. He increased his intake of omega-3 fats (fish and algae oils) high in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) to about 15 g/day and lowered his intake of omega-6s (found in nuts, seeds and plant oils such as corn, soy and safflower).

Remarkably, computed tomography (CT) scans and chest X-rays revealed a slow but steady decrease in the size and number of tumour nodules - with no side-effects - and he remains free of symptoms today (Nutr Cancer, 2005;52: 121;9).

The untapped power of self-repair

The latest issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You  has documented the work of Caryle Hirschberg and the late Brendan O'Regan who spent 15 years documenting nearly 2,000 cases of spontaneous remission.  It also reveals the league table of spontaneous remissions by disease group.

Cancer made up 74 per cent of these cases, but a wide range of other potentially fatal diseases also mysteriously 'remitted'.

We, at What Doctors Don't Tell You, are also very familiar with many such cases amongst our readers.  At our regular annual cancer conferences, too, we meet scores of people who, having been declared terminal cases, are very much alive and healthy many years later.

The medical evidence that can’t be ignored

 Most orthodox cancer treatments are doled out on the assumptions that cancer is: a) always aggressive and life-threatening; and b) that it won't get better on its own.
But how sound are these seemingly basic assumptions?
A famous letter to The Lancet dared to suggest that a particular form of breast cancer - ductal carcinoma in situ - may simply burn itself out in time.

The authors noted that a local regression (in other words, spontaneous healing) of this relatively mild form of cancer was first described 70 years ago and has also been noted in some textbooks, but has otherwise been largely ignored by the medical profession.

Because of medicine's inability to distinguish between the life-threatening and non-threatening cancers, patients with a positive diagnosis are often given the full force of medical treatment: surgery, irradiation and drugs for cancers that might not have been a threat to their lives in the first place.

So, can spontaneous remission be initiated? And can we influence it?

The sheer volume of SRs shows that self-repair and renewal is natural to the human body. Most cases seem to take place after the patient has made a major psychological shift to recreate a life that is engaging and purposeful. Most people, this would suggest, get ill because they've lost all hope of life ever being good.

Letting go of long-term suppression of negative emotions such as fear can also trigger an SR. Psychotherapist/ physician Dr Lawrence LeShan had a 32-year-old male patient with a rapidly growing tumour in his neck and throat. Before undergoing surgery to remove it, he was seen by a psychotherapist who discovered that the patient was repressing a terrible childhood trauma.

The therapist encouraged him to relive the original experience, and he  'recounted it in detail, weeping and trembling'. Immediately after this 'release', the tumour started to shrink. Within four hours, he was able to eat for the first time in a week. Within four days, the tumour had completely disappeared. The astonished surgeon in charge of his case cancelled the operation (Am J Psychother, 1958; 12: 723;34).


The whole issue of spontaneous remission is analysed in the January 2006 issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You.
