Conclusion

Cancer is a multi-factorial disease and requires a multi-faceted treatment approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. Conventional treatment deals with the physical body only and forgets to address the mind and spirit, which we know from Kelly Turner’s book that seven out of the nine healing factors were all emotional and spiritual in nature.

As it can be seen in the above patient example and from Kelly Turner’s analysis of numerous remission cases, the mind is powerful.

To summarize, our beliefs lead us to feel emotions, such as fear, stress, joy, and hope, which creates hormones/peptides that direct our bodies to either fight or flight or go into repair mode.

Therefore, it’s important for us to revolutionize our ways of thinking as doctors and to revolutionize the thinking pattern of our patients for them to have hope, to manifest love and joy, instead of instilling fear in them by giving a time limit without any alternatives.

If we are to treat cancer and heal the whole person, it will be imperative for the practitioner to recognize that the mind plays a powerful part to the success of the patient’s healing and to take this into consideration when talking with the patient and to also bring this knowledge to the patient in a way that they can utilize.
