Do you have the cancer personality? I do relate to most of it.
Apparently people who get cancer share common personality traits. A
Shaman I consulted said if you get cancer before 30, it's a nutritional
imbalance. After that and before 50 it is mostly psychological, and
after 50 it's mostly hormonal. The psychotherapist at the clinic in
Spain said lung cancer is triggered by loneliness. After talking to them
both I decided to dig deeper on the psychology of cancer.
Dr. W Douglas Brodie who has dealt with thousands of cancer patients for
28 years observed that there are certain personality traits present in
cancer susceptible individuals. I have to say most of them are positive,
commendable traits, which, I thought everyone had. I always say doing
good should be the norm. Among the traits he mentioned are being highly
conscientious, caring, dutiful, responsible, he also said "of above
average intelligence". They exhibit a strong tendency toward carrying
other people's burdens and toward taking on extra obligations, and often
"worrying for others".
Here's an excerpt,
" they become the caretakers of the world, showing great compassion and
caring for others, and will go out of their way to look after others.
They are very reluctant to accept help from others, fearing that it may
jeopardise their role as the caretaker. Throughout their childhood they
have been typically taught not to be selfish, and they take this to
heart as a major lifetime objective. All of this is highly commendable
in our culture, but must be somehow modified in the case of the cancer
patient. A distinction needs to be made here between the care-giving and
the care taking personality. There is nothing wrong with care-giving of
course, but the problem arises when the susceptible individual derives
their entire worth, value, and identity from their role as"caretaker".
If this very important shift cannot be made, the patient is stuck in
this role, and the susceptibility to cancer greatly increases. As
already stated, a consistent feature of those who
are susceptible to cancer appears to be that they"suffer in silence",
and bear their burdens without complaint. These burdens of their own as
well as the burdens of others weigh heavily upon these people through a
lifetime of emotional suppression. The carefree extrovert, on the other
hand, seems to be far less vulnerable to cancer than the caring
introvert described above."
Dr. Brodie also mentioned that most cancer patients experienced a highly stressful event usually about two years prior to the onset of detectable disease. The event being beyond the patient's control. When the control is lost, the patient has no other way to cope. Major stress suppresses the immune system, and even more to cancer susceptible individuals, excessive levels of stress combined with the underlying personality bring on the immune deficiency which allows cancer to thrive.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, a German physician known for developing GNM
(German New Medicine) also agrees that every disease, including cancer,
originates with a very difficult, highly acute, dramatic, and isolating
shock. This experience simultaneously affects the psyche, the brain, and
the organ. The development of this conflict then determines a specific
development in the brain and of the cancer or cancer equivalent disease
in the organ.
Dr. Hamer further breaks it down into four phases; the conflict which
leads to sleeplessness where the individual is unable to produce
melatonin, the production of interleukin 1&2 is diminished, then
viral-bacteria-yeast-like fungus can invade cells. Melatonin is the
primary hormone responsible for regulating the immune system, when there
is not enough of it, production of interleukin 1 and interleukin 2 is
diminished. IL-1 protects against infection, and IL-2 regulates the activities of white blood cells. Stress induced bacteria or fungus that
have pleomorphised in the body are now free to invade normal cells,
which further results in normal cells mutating into cancer cells.
Dr. Deepak Chopra, in the realm of quantum physics theorized that built
within the cell is an intelligence system that drives our millions of cells
to do what they do and that the connection between mind and body cannot
be separated. Something directs these cells to create the chemicals in
the body, these cells react to your thoughts. He articulates this
beautifully in his book Quantum Healing, read this book, I highly recommend it. He explains it so deeply that it shakes your perception and yet with an understanding of something tangent at the same time.
If you've been reading my blog, you know that I have taken on Dr. Bruce
Lipton's biology of belief, that our thoughts can reach every cell in
our body. That our cells are directed by our mind, that cell control
mechanisms frees us from the limitations of genetic determinism.
Upon taking on this journey my mind continued to evolve, and is still evolving - to a level
beyond consciousness, a level often undiscovered by most. This experience has
taught me that I can choose how to interact with life and my own
thoughts, and free myself, and deviate from the patterns I thought was
me, thought patterns derived from culture, religion, from places, from
events, from people, from my own belief systems. I no longer need validation that I had cared.
So to prevent cancer do we have to be uncaring and selfish? No, because
what kind of world will that be? What's needed is harmony, equilibrium, a
balance, yin and yang, in people's hearts and minds, in our soul and in
the way we nurture our world, and the way we treat the earth and each
other. If we all truly care about each other, less people will get sick.
I refuse to change the way I care I just won't allow it to influence my
energy fields and I'm not going to let bad events or people disempower
my own pursuit of happiness. I will become an observer, watch without
judgement, and lend myself but I will choose my own thoughts. I have
learned how to live in the Now, not dwell in the past, or worry about
the future, sometimes we worry about things that never need to exist in
the first place, it's just in our thoughts. It is the now that is here
and real, live in it!
Few of us ever live in the present. We are forever anticipating what is to come or remembering what has gone. |
To give and not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of
giving. - Max Beerbohm
Do your little bit of good where you are, it's those little bits of good
put together that overwhelm the World. - Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Give your stress wings and let it flyaway.
And finally, here's some quotes from bright minds that influenced the evolution of my mind.....
In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.
If we are creating ourselves all the time, then it is never too late to
begin creating the bodies we want instead of the ones we mistakenly
assume we are stuck with.
The character of our life is based upon how we perceive it.
Just like a single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by
our genes but our responses to the environmental signals that propel
life.
It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in
themselves.
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always
your choice.
How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Self control is strength, right thought is mastery, calmness is power.
As he thinks, so he is, as he continues to think, so he remains.
A person is limited only by the thought he chooses.
