Take Back Your Power to Heal from Cancer!

Far too often we give our power over to others in white lab coats because we think they have all the answers.  

I recently spoke to someone who went to tell their medical doctor how they healed cancer using a natural approach.  The doctor was shocked, and surprised when the patient came in for a checkup and their cancer was no longer visible on the scans.  They thought it was a miracle!  And when the patient says, “Doc let me tell you how I did it, I changed my diet, I exercised, I started meditating 2 hours a day….” the doctor rudely interrupted the patient and said, “nevermind, it’s just a miracle, it’s unexplained, you don’t need to tell me anymore, and that’s all I need to know, congratulations you’re cancer free – now get outta here!”

Now that’s not true for all doctors, but it is a common theme from cancer survivors I’ve spoken to over the years who’ve healed themselves naturally, and their doctors simply don’t want to know.  If it’s outside of the conventional model they were taught in med school, they chalk it up to luck, and miracles, rather than wanting to understand the science and foundations these people followed, knowingly or unknowingly, that led to their cancer going away. 

Principle #1 to taking back your power is to become your own healer.  What does that mean?  Do you have to go to the Amazon to learn from shamans using psychedelics to connect to your inner healing powers?  While that might be a path for some, it is not the path for most.  

Becoming your own inner healer means recognizing that your body is perfectly designed and fully capable of healing itself.  Your body was brilliantly designed, through some miraculous form, whether you believe in the big bang or God, there’s no denying that the human body is one of the most incredible, sophisticated, wonderful things in the Universe.  

You body is estimated to have over 30 trillion cells, (yes that’s Trillion with a T) and these cells are designed to all work in harmony with one another, duplicating, growing, dividing, dying, rebirthing so on and so forth, 24/7, while you sleep, eat, work and breath every single day for your entire life.  

And not only are you made of human cells, but you’re made of more bacterial and viral genes than you are human genes!  Can you imagine?  You have more bacteria and viruses inside your body than you do human.  

It’s also estimated that your body sends 11 million bits of information, every second, to your brain for processing.  The best estimate of how many bits per second your conscious mind can process at a time, 50!  Yep, that’s right, a whopping 50 bits per second for you to consciously process what’s going on around you.  That means your body and brain are processing 99.999999% of everything you experience as a human being, automatically, without your conscious mind involved. 

Now is that an incredibly intelligent design?  Absolutely!  Your body also has incredible mechanisms like the lymphatic system that removes dead cells and abnormal cells and cancer cells from your body.  Your immune system helps to fight off invading pathogens, bacteria and viruses, as well as eliminate cancer cells.  Your cardiovascular system helps to send nutrients through the bloodstream to the parts of your body that need it for healing and rejuvenation.  Your nervous system helps to determine if something is safe or dangerous, and activates the fight or flight response, or the healing response. 

All of these incredibly intelligent systems are working around the clock, 24/7, 365 days a year for one main reason…  To help you live, to help you breath, to help you rejuvenate, to help you survive, and to help you thrive. 

So when we talk about taking back control of your health, it’s recognizing that while there are important coaches, leaders, doctors, and support teams to have in your corner supporting you on your path, at the end of the day, your body is perfectly equipped to fully heal itself.  

All you have to do is understand the mechanisms that both trigger disease and the mechanisms that create healing and rejuvenation, and then take daily action to remove the causes of disease while implementing the methods that lead to true health. 

When you take back the power for your own health, it means that you accept your responsibility to be a healer and to allow your body to heal itself.  That doesn’t mean you don’t utilize the tools available to you or the good advice of other experts, it means that you understand that to create true healing, it requires creating an environment in your body and in your life that allows your body to do what it was designed to do – rejuvenate itself, and thrive!
