Dr. Mercola Reviews Ryke Geerd Hamer's New View of Cancer

German New Medicine (GNM), developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D., operates under the premise that every disease, including cancer, originates from an unexpected shock experience.  The discovery came after Dr. Hamer, the former head internist in the oncology clinic at the University of Munich, Germany, lost his son in an unexpected tragedy, then developed testicular cancer. The diagnosis led him to study the connection between stressful events and disease by investigating the histories of his cancer patients.

He found that, like himself, every one of his patients had gone through a very stressful episode prior to developing cancer, and, upon investigating other diseases found that every disease is controlled from its own specific area in the brain and linked to a very particular, identifiable, “conflict shock.”

Research Shows Stress May Help Cancer Cells Resist Treatment

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Public release date: 10-Apr-2007
Scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine are the first to report that the stress hormone epinephrine causes changes in prostate and breast cancer cells that may make them resistant to cell death.

"These data imply that emotional stress may contribute to the development of cancer and may also reduce the effectiveness of cancer treatments," said George Kulik, D.V.M., Ph.D., an assistant professor of cancer biology and senior researcher on the project.

Learn Why “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die”  By Dr. Joseph Mercola

To anyone experiencing any type of physical or emotional challenge, whether sourcing from health and diet, relationships, money, career, personal goals or any other aspect of life, I highly recommend you read the book "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die."  For some time now patients in my clinic have been urged to read this wonderful book; they’ve come from all walks of life, and their health challenges have run the gamut, but their praise for the eloquence and usefulness of "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die..." has been incredibly strong and nearly unanimous, and so I believe it is important to recommend this wonderful book to the rest of you.

The author, Karol K. Truman, has written a straightforward yet profound exploration and explanation of feelings: what they are, how we experience them, how they are integral to physical health, and, most important, how to work with and overcome those that are pulling us down.   read more.

The War on Cancer is Being Oversold   by Ralph Moss, PhD

("I was recently asked to provide the Point of View commentary for the magazine Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News, a leading monthly publication in the field. Here is what I wrote. You can also read the article at the Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News Web site: http://www.genengnews.com/articles/chitem.aspx?aid=2179 ")  Dr. Moss

The US cancer death rate declined by one-half of one percent between 2003 and 2004 - and the world went wild. Soon after the announcement, on January 17, 2007, President Bush paid a rare visit to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to bask in the reflected glory of this alleged turning point in the war on cancer. "Progress is being made," he intoned. "We're spending about $28.6 billion here at the NIH, which was doubled from 15 years ago." But the President failed to mention that his administration had actually cut the National Cancer Institute's budget by approximately $72 million between fiscal years 2005 and 2007. He further characterized the decline in cancer deaths as "the steepest drop ever recorded." While technically true, this gave the misleading impression that the decline in the number of deaths was both dramatic and precipitous. In fact, the number of cancer deaths had either risen or remained the same, on a year-by-year basis, for over 70 years since record keeping began.  read more.

 

Thoughts On The Cure For Cancer By Dr. Ben Kim on October 29, 2007         A short time ago, a visiting relative asked my wife and me what we thought about the idea that the cure for cancer was already established, but was being hidden from the general public for various reasons. Being a pharmaceutical sales representative, her idea of the cure for cancer was a drug or procedural treatment that could be received from a doctor, and used right away to experience a complete recovery from cancer.

Her question was an important reminder for me, as I usually do not focus on the reality that a good number of people in our society -- perhaps the vast majority -- believe in cures that come in expensive packaging or from skilled hands in the operating room. Please take a moment to consider the many fund-raising campaigns that exist to support doctors and scientists who are working on cures to many different types of cancer and other chronic, degenerative health challenges. I'm not questioning the sincerity and motives of such doctors and scientists, as I have no doubt that some of them are passionate about discovering cures to different health conditions. I'm only pointing out that a belief in quick-fix cures exists in virtually all pockets of society.

Here is the gist of what I shared with our visiting relative:  There is no such thing as a cure for any health condition, or if there are cures for specific diseases, then these cures cannot last for more than the few seconds that it takes for you to have a thought or to feel anything.This is because each of the trillions of cells that make up your body is constantly changing in its health status according to your ongoing thoughts and emotions. read more
