From the desk of Dr Magne, author of Cancer Free For LifeEveryone has the ability to heal. This is built into our physical, emotional, and spiritual natures as human beings. Cancer cells manifest a dysfunction where the only goal is to multiply, unaware that they're bringing about their own destruction by destroying the organism of which they are a part.In medical terminology, spontaneous healing of cancer refers to exceptional and unexplained...more
Is it possible to control and influence rate at which injuries, wounds and even cancer heal? That's the question a group of researchers from the Ohio State University asked when they decided to observe wound healing rates in a group of exercising older adults in comparison to that of a non-exercising control group. This three-month study looked at the effects of exercise on wound healing among healthy older adults. All participants had not exercised regularly for six months, so the 28 participants who were encouraged to exercise were given one month to acclimatize to a new exercise program that included 30 minutes of pedaling on a stationary bike, 15 minutes jogging or brisk walking on a treadmill, and 15 minutes of strength training. Fifteen participants acted as controls by not changing their level of physical activity. All then underwent a small puncture wound about half a centimeter across and deep on the back of the upper arm. Individual wounds were measured three times a week until fully healed. Regular exercisers took only 29 days to heal, while non-exercisers took up to 10 days longer to recover. From these results, researchers have speculated that exercise may speed wound...more

Not many families escape the horror of seeing a loved one with cancer go through the agony of chemotherapy -- a barbaric "treatment" that more times than not eventually helps to kill the patient.I am aware there are many "cures" after chemotherapy. Those folks are lucky. However, as a pharmacist I see so many people who have gone through chemo, surgery or radiation, appear to get better for a while, then relapse, get more chemo, surgery or radiation, rally a bit - maybe even for a couple of years, and eventually, the cancer comes roaring back, perhaps attacking a different part of the body.It's infuriating. There are so many options and methods for treating cancer other than traditional means. I just don't understand why so many cancer victims opt for tradition. On the other hand, I do understand. It's because they trust their physician. Or, they know about alternative treatments but are afraid to try, having heard horror stories about "quack treatments" and "quack doctors" who use "unscientific" approaches to treat cancer.I know the power of trust. Every cancer victim I've spoken to has told me how "wonderful" their doctor is, how "caring" their doctor is, how much of an...more
