INTRODUCTION: THE 6 PHASES OF CANCER

Cancer has long been associated with stress; however within mainstream oncology stress is generally considered of relative low importance as the primary causal factor in the genesis of cancer. Inspired by God, spiritual messenger Glen Russell brings forth new never-before-seen concepts identifying stress as the primary instigator of cancer. This document has been created to help medical staff, researchers and lay folk understand clearly the evidence-based relationship between cancer and stress, and documents the world-wide clinical studies and research under-pinning the 6 Phases of Cancer; as well as key remedies to help reverse each of these six distinct and interrelated phases.  ​

PHASE 1 OF CANCER: INESCAPABLE SHOCK

Phase 1 occurs approximately 18-24 months prior to the diagnosis of cancer. This is where the individual with cancer experiences an "inescapable shock" or acute psycho-emotional trauma, affecting deep sleep and the production of melatonin within the body. Melatonin is the primary hormone responsible for inhibiting cancer cell growth. Produced by the pineal gland during deep sleep, melatonin inhibits cancer cell growth through the on-going production of interleukin 2 (IL-2), which governs white blood cell immune activity and protects against microbial infection. Without enough melatonin due to prolonged chronic stress affecting deep sleep patterns, cancer cells thrive. As discovered by Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer (below) every cancer has a different and very specific psycho-emotional cause; whereby a part of the emotional reflex centre in the brain is damaged as a result of the prolonged psycho-emotional trauma. And as each part of the emotional reflex centre in the brain controls and is connected to a different organ of the body, as this emotion centre breaks down experiencing necrosis, so does the organ it controls leading to cancer.

THE THEORY: BY GLEN RUSSELL,
PUNA WAI ORA MIND-BODY CANCER CLINIC

Over the past decades, a number of licensed medical practitioners working in the field of oncology have discovered cancer is preceded by a specific emotional trauma, occurring approximately 2 years prior to the diagnosis of cancer. Two of these practitioners include Dr W Douglas Brodie, founder of the Reno Integrative Medical Center in Nevada, USA and Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer, a German physician and founder of German New Medicine. Both of these practitioners claim to have examined thousands of cancer patients in reaching this conclusion. More specifically, Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer proposes that each cancer in the body has a different emotional cause which he had identified; in other words the emotional cause for cancer of the left breast is different to that of the right breast and to cancer of the colon, etc. In my own personal experience in treating hundreds of cancer patients to heal the root psycho-emotional cause of their disease, it has been my observation that Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer's theory that each cancer has a different and very specific psycho-emotional cause is 100% accurate. For example, I always find a woman presenting with cancer of the left breast has [in line with Dr Hamer's theory] experienced a psychological and emotional conflict / trauma approximately 2 years prior to the diagnosis of cancer involving the "mother, child or home". Similarly, I always find a woman presenting with uterine cancer has experienced a "sexual conflict" 2 years prior to the diagnosis of cancer, and so on. On a personal level, my own mother [who was diagnosed with cancer of the left breast in 1992] experienced a psycho-emotional trauma 2 years prior in 1990 involving the death of her mother, in line with Dr Hamer's theory. I remember her telling me at the time she felt like a zombie for many months. As is typical with patients I see, my mother had a tendency to over-react to most difficulties in life and was always highly stressed, and it is this hypersensitivity to life's stressors that makes one susceptible to cancer. Dr W Douglas Brodie reveals it is not the stressful event that causes cancer, but our inability to cope with life stress.

​The Cancer Personality, by Dr W Douglas Brodie: “In dealing with many thousands of cancer patients over the past 28 years, it has been my observation that there are certain personality traits present in the cancer-susceptible individual. These traits are as follows: 1. Being highly conscientious, caring, dutiful, responsible, hard-working, and usually of above average intelligence. 2. Exhibits a strong tendency toward carrying other people’s burdens and toward taking on extra obligations, and often “worrying for others.” 3. Having a deep-seated need to make others happy. Being a “people pleaser” with a great need for approval. 4. Often lacking closeness with one or both parents, which sometimes, later in life, results in lack of closeness with spouse or others who would normally be close. 5. Harbours long-suppressed toxic emotions, such as anger, resentment and / or hostility. The cancer-susceptible individual typically internalizes such emotions and has great difficulty expressing them. 6. Reacts adversely to stress, and often becomes unable to cope adequately with such stress. Usually experiences an especially damaging event about 2 years before the onset of detectable cancer. The patient is not able to cope with this traumatic event or series of events, which comes as a “last straw” on top of years of suppressed reactions to stress. 7. Has an inability to resolve deep-seated emotional problems/conflicts, usually beginning in childhood, often even being unaware of their presence. Typical of the cancer-susceptible personality, as noted above, is the long-standing tendency to suppress “toxic emotions”, particularly anger. Usually beginning in childhood, this individual has held in their hostility and other unacceptable emotions. More often than not, this feature of the affected personality has its origins in feelings of rejection by one or both parents. Whether these feelings of rejection are justified or not, the individual perceives this rejection as real, and this results in a lack of closeness with the “rejecting” parent, followed later in life by a lack of closeness with spouses and others with whom close relationships would normally develop. Those at the higher risk for cancer tend to develop feelings of loneliness as a result of their having been deprived of affection and acceptance earlier in life, even if this is only their perception. They have a tremendous need for approval and acceptance, and develop a very high sensitivity to the needs of others while suppressing their own emotional needs.

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 jeopardize 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. How one reacts to stress appears to be a major factor in the larger number of contributing causes of cancer. Most cancer patients have experienced a highly stressful event, usually about 2 years prior to the onset of detectable disease. This traumatic event is often beyond the patient's control, such as the loss of a loved one, loss of a business, job, home, or some other major disaster. The typical cancer personality has lost the ability to cope with these extreme events, because his/her coping mechanism lies in his/her ability to control the environment. When this control is lost, the patient has no other way to cope. Major stress causes suppression on the immune system, and does so more overwhelmingly in the cancer-susceptible individual than in others. Thus personal tragedies and excessive levels of stress appear to combine with the underlying personality described above to bring on the immune deficiency which allows cancer to thrive."

Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer discovered a connection between cancer and unresolved psychological / emotional conflict through first-hand experience. His son was murdered and soon after he developed testicular cancer, which he identifies as the result of a "loss conflict". From this experience, and as chief of internal medicine in a gynecology-oncology clinic at Munich University, he was able to interview and examine the records of thousands of cancer patients. His research led him to identify the presence of concentric rings in the emotional reflex centre of the brain as being evidence of the psycho-emotional trauma on the brain itself, which he called "Hamer Herds". He proposes the location of the Hamer Herd (HH) on the brain which is seen through a CT scan, is like a map, which to the trained practitioner can reveal the precise disease and its organ-location in the body. Dr Hamer offers images such as the one below, as evidence of these concentric rings or Hamer Herds.
Picture
Hamer Herd Concentric Rings
Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer: "Every cancer or cancer-like disease originates with a very difficult highly acute, dramatic and isolating shock. The experience of shock is simultaneous or virtually simultaneous on three levels: 1. the psyche 2. the brain 3. the organ. The development of the conflict determines a specific development of the HH (Hamer Herd) in the brain and of the cancer or cancer-equivalent disease in the organ. There are very specific signs which clearly distinguish the ordinary conflicts and problems in our daily lives. From the very first moment of a DHS (psycho-emotional trauma), you would experience continuous stress on the sympathetic nervous system. The symptoms would include cold hands and/or feet, loss of appetite, weight loss, sleeplessness and dwelling day and night on the conflict content. This situation will only change when the conflict has been resolved. In contrast to normal everyday problems, we see the patient falling into a lasting stress phase that will cause specific symptoms and a growing cancer. The HH (Hamer Herd) in the brain, which is immediately visible, shows that the patient's psyche has very precise, defined symptoms that cannot be overlooked. I discovered the ontogenetic system of tumors and cancer-equivalents after observing about 10,000 cases. I worked absolutely empirically, like a good scientist should. I documented all the collected cases and the CT scans of the brain with their histological findings. Only after I had put them all together and compared them did I see that there was a system. 

I didn't really occupy myself with this until 1978. I was a doctor of internal medicine and had worked in university clinics for fifteen years, five of them as a professor. Then a terrible thing happened: while asleep on a boat, my son Dirk was shot, for no reason, by a madman, an Italian prince. This was a terrible shock for me, sudden and unexpected, and I was powerless to react. Every day events or conflicts don't usually catch us so "off guard". We generally have a chance to anticipate the normal conflicts that we face in life, but the conflicts we are unable to prepare for and which cause this helplessness and inability to react, create, in essence, a panic shock. We call these biological conflicts. In 1978 I developed testicular cancer from such a biological conflict, a so-called "loss conflict". Since I had never been seriously ill, I wondered if my condition had anything to do with the death of my son. Three years later, as chief of internal medicine in a gynecology-oncology clinic at Munich University, I had the opportunity to study female patients with cancer and to compare my findings to see if their mechanism was the same as mine; if they too had experienced such a terrible shock. I found that all of them, without exception, had experienced the same type of biological conflict as I had. They were able to recollect the shock, the resulting sleeplessness, weight loss, cold hands and the beginning of tumor growth. There is at present a movement to divide medicine into organic medicine and psychological medicine, or psychotherapy. When a doctor states that there is no organic cause, he is giving the psychotherapist a free hand to treat these 'clean' psychological diseases. Such division is absurd in the eyes of a practitioner of the German New Medicine, because illness cannot be divided and parcelled out. The psyche, brain and organ are three levels of the same organism and the course of events on them is always synchronous."

Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer
Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer proposes a person who experiences the onset of detectable cancer has experienced a "biological conflict" or inescapable shock that causes subsequent organ-necrosis and tumour cell growth. And this has been validated in research conducted by Madelon Visintainer, now Associate Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, where rats receiving mild inescapable shock had a significantly higher rate of tumour progression. In my own experience of treating hundreds of cancer patients, this biological conflict or inescapable shock serves as the "trigger event" for cancer to develop within the body. The cancer-susceptible personality is already highly stressed prior to this trigger event, which is like the straw that breaks the camel's back, destabilizing the body's natural homeostasis and causing cancer. What I also found was the trigger event has a common psycho-emotional theme with previously unresolved conflicts the cancer patient has experienced earlier on in their life, commonly during childhood, as well as during past lives. In one notable case, cancer patient Dr Suzanne Friedman of San Francisco USA [who has given permission for her experience to be shared] presented with stage IV inoperable lung cancer, having been given 7 months to live. According to Dr Hamer the psycho-emotional cause for lung cancer is "fear of dying or suffocation, including fear for someone else". In line with Dr Hamer's theory, Dr Friedman experienced a relationship trauma 2 years prior to the onset of detectable cancer where the psycho-emotional conflict she could not resolve was feeling suffocated. Using regression therapy, the cancer present within Dr Friedman's lungs led us to earlier experiences in her childhood where she felt suffocated and to a past-life where [as a mother of two young children] she was gassed in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany, experiencing fear of death and suffocation. It was this past-life unresolved event that was the most highly charged, being more stressful than the trigger event itself. And this is not uncommon in cancer patients I see, that the trigger event is less emotionally charged than previously unresolved conflicts. All psycho-emotional conflicts were resolved in this case and Dr Friedman became cancer-free within weeks. As is common with cancer patients I see, the trigger event presents to help the patient resolve previously unresolved conflicts involving the same psycho-emotional theme. Below is a list of conflicts Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer proposes serves as the trigger event and cause for each different type of cancer in the body:

ADRENAL CORTEX: Wrong Direction. Gone Astray
BLADDER: Ugly Conflict. Dirty Tricks
BONE: Lack of Self Worth. Inferiority Feeling
BRAIN TUMOR: Stubbornness. Refusing to Change Old Patterns. Mental Frustration
[The above is Louise Hay's proposed cause for brain cancer.]

BREAST MILK DUCT: Separation Conflict
BREAST LEFT: Conflict concerning Child, Home or Mother
BREAST RIGHT: Conflict with Partner or Others
BRONCHIOLES: Territorial Conflict

INTESTINES: Indigestible Chunk of Anger
KIDNEYS: Not wanting to Live. Water or Fluid Conflict
LARYNX: Conflict of Fear and Fright
LIVER: Fear of Starvation
LUNGS: Fear of Dying or Suffocation, including Fear for Someone Else
LYMPH GLANDS: Loss of Self-Worth
[LYMPHOMA {Louise Hay proposed cause}: Blame and a tremendous fear of not being good enough. A frantic race to prove one's self until the blood has no substance left to support itself. The joy of life is forgotten in the race for acceptance.]
MELANOMA: Feeling Dirty, Soiled, Defiled
MIDDLE EAR: Not being able to get some Vital Information
MOUTH: Cannot Chew It or Hold It
PANCREAS: Anxiety-Anger Conflict with Family Members. Inheritance

[The above is Louise Hay's proposed cause for tumor.]
UTERUS: Sexual Conflict

Studies below show a correlation between extreme suppression of emotions (primarily anger) and a highly stressful life event preceding the onset and development of cancer.

1. Extreme suppression of anger was the most commonly identified characteristic of 160 breast cancer patients who were given a detailed psychological interview and self-administered questionnaire in a study conducted by the King's College Hospital in London, as reported by the Journal of Psychosomatic Research. "Patients results are based on statistical comparisons between 69 patients found at operation to have breast cancer and a control group comprising the remaining 91 patients with benign breast disease. Our principle finding was a significant association between the diagnosis of breast cancer and a behaviour pattern, persisting throughout adult life, of abnormal release of emotions. This abnormality was, in most cases, extreme suppression of anger and, in patients over 40, extreme suppression of other feelings." [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022399975900628]

2. In a study conducted over 4.5 years by the Cancer Centre of the Greek Social Security Department in Athens, researchers found a traumatic life event typically preceded the onset of cancer. “The authors present their results as far as psychological stress influences the development of cancer of the breast in 813 patients (Group A) and in 685 women who did not have cancer of the breast (Group B). They were able to show that Group A had a positive correlation which was statistically very significant with the following parameters: the death of a much-loved person; the negative behaviour of the husband; an unexpected change in life style; continual conflicts in the family; financial problems; unsatisfactory sex life; consultations with a psychiatrist and allergy. The authors conclude that they believe that it is useful to look at all the factors that are known as risks for cancer of the breast, including the influence of psycho-traumatic factors.” [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3819354]

3. The University of Helsinki, Finland conducted a study of 10,808 women to discover whether stressful life events preceded the onset of cancer. “Independently of total life events, – divorce/separation, death of a husband, and death of a close relative or friend were all associated with increased risk of breast cancer. The findings suggest a role for life events in breast cancer etiology through hormonal or other mechanisms.” [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12615606] 

4. Madelon Visintainer, now Associate Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, found rats receiving mild shock they could not escape from had a significantly higher rate of tumour progression. "Rats experienced inescapable, escapable, or no electric shock 1 day after being implanted with a Walker 256 tumor preparation. Only 27 percept of the rats receiving inescapable shock rejected the tumor, whereas 63 percent of the rats receiving escapable shock and 54 percent of the rats receiving no shock rejected the tumor. These results imply that lack of control over stressors reduces tumor rejection and decreases survival." [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7200261]  

5. Retired Clinical Professor of Surgery at Yale Medical School, Dr Bernie Siegel: "I have collected 57 extremely well documented so-called cancer miracles. At a certain particular moment in time they decided that the anger and the depression were probably not the best way to go, since they had such little time left. And so they went from being that to being loving, caring, no longer angry, no longer depressed, and able to talk to the people they loved. These 57 people had the same pattern. They gave up, totally, their anger, and they gave up, totally, their depression, by specifically a decision to do so. And at that point the tumors started to shrink." [http://berniesiegelmd.com/] 

Studies below show expressing and releasing toxic negative emotions (such as anger, hate, resentment, grief) increases the survival rates of cancer patients significantly.

1. The Ontario Cancer Institute conducted a ground-breaking study to evaluate the effects of psychological self-help work, principally the expression of negative emotions, on the survival time of 22 medically incurable metastatic cancer patients. With an expected 1 year survival rate, median survival was 2.25 times that predicted by the oncology panel, with an incredible 6 of the 22 patients still alive after five years. "Twenty-two patients with medically incurable metastatic cancer of various kinds received weekly group psycho-therapy for up to 1 year, the great majority remaining well enough to attend the group for at least 8 months. The intervention had three components. The first was support: patients were comforted and strengthened by the group in the face of life-threatening disease. Expression and clarification of feelings was encouraged, as was rational problem solving, frank communication with important others, monitoring and changing of cognitions and the daily application of coping skills. Patients were helped to become, as Spiegel (1986) put it, 'experts in living'. Fear of death and dying was openly discussed and group members who died were grieved for. The second aspect of the intervention was homework: there was an emphasis on taking responsibility, not for one's cancer or its outcome, but for the implementation of a personal programme of self-help. Patients were asked to practice coping skills, such as relaxation and meditation, and to completed 20 weekly sessions of written homework, which included questions and assignments over a wide range of psychological and spiritual / existential issues (examples: What makes me feel I really want to live? Which people are important in my life, and how much support do I feel each of them gives me? Draw a picture of an important aspect of your life at the following (specified) stages. Attend at least one community spiritual or religious meeting and write about how it affected you). The third facet of the intervention was group psychotherapy: patients' entrenched opinions and habit patterns were explored and modifications suggested; e.g. common issues included guilt, denial, blaming physicians and others, exaggerated dependencies, feelings of helplessness and a perceived loss of entitlement to longer life. Median survival of the 22 subjects was 2.25 times that predicted by the oncology panel (with six subjects still alive at the time of writing)." [http//:www.healingjourney.ca/article.html] 

2. The California Department of Health Services in association with the National Cancer Institute studied 847 women with breast cancer from 1985-1994 and found those who reported low levels of emotional expression had a fourfold risk of dying from cancer than those who reported high levels of emotional expression. Study findings: "The survival analysis was conducted with a sample of 847 women, 442 (52.2 percent) of whom were Black and 405 (47.8 percent) of whom were White. Expression of emotion was related to better survival (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.6; 95 percent confidence interval (CI): 0.4, 0.9), and suppression of emotion was associated with worse survival (HR = 1.4; 95 percent CI: 1.1, 1.9). Patients had a nearly fourfold risk of dying from breast cancer if they reported low levels of both emotional expression and emotional support when compared with patients with early stage tumors who reported high levels of both. These results suggest that the opportunity for emotional expression may help improve survival among patients with invasive breast cancer." [http//aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/152/10/940.full]

3. The California Breast Cancer Research Program conducted a follow-up study of Dr. David Spiegel's 1989 study and found the survival rate of women in his group therapy program who openly expressed their anger was doubled (3.7 years), compared to the women in his group therapy program who constrained their anger (1.8 years), with 6 of the 50 women who openly expressed their anger still living at 7 years post-entry study. Study findings: "In our preliminary results (H = 28 with 69 tape-by-woman segments in the data set), long moments of indirect or constrained anger during the first few months of group therapy strongly predicted an earlier death (p < .01). By 3 years from study entry, all but 2 women with more constrained anger have died--compared with 6 women, who express no constrained anger or only express short moments of it, still living at 7 years post-study entry. The mean survival time was, thus, doubled for women who do not constrain anger (3.7 years compared with 1.8). This is the first behavioural study in a relatively naturalistic setting which links bottling up anger with shorter survival." [See study]

4. The UCLA School of Medicine found psychological intervention significantly increased cancer survival rates in malignant melanoma patients. Six years after the study, only 3 of the 34 patients given psychological intervention had died, compared to 10 of 34 patients in the control group not given psychological intervention. Study findings: "We evaluated recurrence and survival for 68 patients with malignant melanoma who participated in a 6-week structured psychiatric group intervention 5 to 6 years earlier, shortly after their diagnosis and initial surgical treatment. For control patients, there was a trend for recurrence (13/34) and a statistically significant greater rate of death (10/34) than for experimental patients (7/34 and 3/34, respectively)." [http://www.ncbi.nlm.gov/pubmed/8357293?dopt=Abstract]  

5. The University of Rochester and Harvard School of Public Health followed 729 individuals over 12 years and found a 70% increase in cancer deaths for those who were scored at above the 75% level of suppressing emotions. "Emotion suppression at the 75th vs. 25th percentile conveyed a significant elevation in risk (HR = 1.35, or a 35% increase) of death from any cause. This was comparable to the increase in mortality risk observed for 3.1 years of life expectancy. The same difference in suppression was associated with a 70% increase in risk (HR = 1.70) of death from cancer (a 5.6 year difference in life expectancy). Our analysis of a US nationally representative sample, followed for 12 years for mortality by cause of death, revealed significant associations between higher levels of emotion suppression and all-cause as well as cancer-related mortality." [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3939772/]

While most people cope with stress with relative ease, those susceptible to cancer appear to be highly vulnerable to life's stresses and traumas, and feel unable to cope when life throws a curve-ball their way. These people are perfectionists and live in fear of conflict, stress and loss and are deeply frightened of negative events. And when faced with a highly stressful or traumatic event they have not anticipated, which inevitably happens during their life, react adversely and are unable to cope. They experience "inescapable shock" and feel trapped and unable to escape from the painful feelings [of anger, hate, resentment and/or grief] associated with the traumatic experience. Stress hormone cortisol levels skyrocket and remain at high levels. High stress levels generally mean a person cannot sleep well and cannot produce enough melatonin which is produced during deep sleep usually between the hours of 1am and 3am in the morning. Melatonin is the primary hormone responsible for regulating the immune system, and when there is not enough melatonin, production of IL-1 (Interleukin 1) and IL-2 (Interleukin 2) is diminished. Interleukin 1 protects against infection and Interleukin 2 regulates the activities of white blood cells [including T cells, B cells, neutrophils, macrophages and natural killer cells] responsible for immunity. When there is insufficient levels of Interleukin 2, stress-induced viral-bacterial-yeast-like-fungus that have pleomorphised in the body [in Phase 3 of Cancer: The Cancer Fungus] are now free to invade normal cells; damaging cell DNA through the release of "mycotoxins" within the cell nucleus, causing proto-oncogenes to mutate into oncogenes, and inhibiting tumor suppressor genes [notably p53] which results in normal cells mutating into cancer cells.

Within the 1st Phase of Cancer the following sequence of events can be observed in the cancer patient:

12 Step Cancer Survivor Program

Step 1: Healing the root psycho-emotional cause of cancer

As revealed in the 6 phases of cancer, it is suppressed negative emotions (principally anger, hate, resentment and grief) which cause and continue to fuel cancer at the cellular level. Finding a way to remove these toxic emotions is critical to long term cancer recovery. The 93-page evidence-based thesis, "Psycho-Oncology: The 6 Phases of Cancer", reveals exactly how cancer develops in the body due to the suppression of toxic negative emotions. It is recommended you undertake sessions with an experienced healer of emotions (such as an EFT specialist) who can work with you to permanently remove these toxic emotions. Continuing a daily self-healing program to express and release cancer-causing emotions is also strongly advised and the Cancer Healing Guide is designed for this purpose. The Vipassana meditation technique is also beneficial for releasing toxic emotions. You are also encouraged to explore the link between anger, unforgiveness and cancer and unresolved complicated grief and cancer. The book, "Healing Dis-ease in the Mind of Christ", will help you uncover the spiritual cause of why dis-ease is present. We are aware of illnesses having spontaneously healed during the reading of this book.

Step 2: Systems change (Removing stressful conditions)

As revealed by world-renowned cancer researcher Lothar Hirneise, 100% of all late stage 'miracle' cancer survivors of the hundreds he interviewed had all made dramatic system changes in their life before getting well, and had typically left a highly stressful job or relationship or highly stressful living condition. This is because those diagnosed with cancer have significantly elevated stress hormone cortisol levels, which deplete all-important adrenaline reserves (as outlined in phase 2 of cancer), breaking the cell's Kreb's Citric Acid Cycle, causing cell mutation and cancer. By removing anything in your life that is causing significant stress, this will help to normalize cortisol and adrenaline levels, and thus halt the condition known as cancer.

Step 3: Active relaxing to lower stress cortisol levels

Over many years the typical cancer personality has trained their body to remain rigid and tense in response to life stressors. And when the body is not relaxed the mind will not relax sufficiently enough to enter the deep-sleep-cycle to produce melatonin, which is the primary hormone responsible for inhibiting cancer cell growth. It is this "body stress" which continues to deplete all-important adrenaline reserves in phase 2 of cancer. You should ideally spend 2 hours each day in active relaxation mode to lower stress hormone cortisol levels, which in turn will help restore adrenaline reserves and enable you to enter the deep-sleep-cycle to produce melatonin. Here are some ways to actively relax: sitting amongst nature, walking on the beach, swimming, tai chi, aromatherapy massage, watching funny movies, join a laughter therapy group, holistic pulsing, meditation, deep breathing exercises, lavender oil therapy, and listening to a guided relaxation recording.

Step 4: Using meditation to increase melatonin levels

As revealed in phase 1 of cancer, melatonin is the primary hormone responsible for inhibiting cancer cell growth. It does this by producing interleukin 2 (IL-2) which governs the production of (cancer killing) immune system T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, macrophages and neutrophils. Melatonin is produced in the pineal gland of the brain between the hours of 1am and 3am in the morning during uninterrupted deep sleep. The cancer personality who suppresses for long periods toxic emotions (of anger, hate, resentment, and/or grief) is generally unable to enter this critical deep sleep cycle and therefore becomes depleted of melatonin over time -- one day at a time. Removing the toxic emotions that disrupt deep sleep and lowering stress hormone cortisol levels will naturally correct the problem, however studies have demonstrated meditation can also be used to produce melatonin by stimulating the pineal gland. Consider meditating for 30 minutes per day as part of your 2 hours of daily relaxation.

Step 5: Supporting / boosting the immune system

There are a number of conditions that suppress or weaken the immune system: including high stress hormone cortisol levels, depleted melatonin and dopamine levels, parasites, pathogen microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungus), as well as chemotherapy and radiation. When the immune system is suppressed or weakened, the "cancer fungus" in phase 3 thrives. We recommend you incorporate at least one protocol to support and boost your immune system. High Dose Vitamin C Therapy can be used for this purpose and should wherever possible be used PRIOR to chemotherapy and radiation. Consider also: Fever Therapy, DMG, Lemon Juice Therapy, and Avemar. Note: If you are undertaking chemotherapy or radiation, consider Graviola capsules to prevent side-effects such as hair loss, nausea, and general malaise and energy loss. This natural product also prevents cell-resistance to chemotherapy.

Step 6: Removing the cancer fungus

As revealed by the Holy Spirit of God in phase 3 of cancer, what we know as cancer is in fact seven different types of fungus. When the cancer personality experiences prolonged chronic stress, somatids (tiny microorganisms necessary for life) that live in our body pleomorphise [or change] into yeast-like-fungus to ferment rising glucose and lactic acid in cells. In a healthy person, somatids are limited to 3 stages in their life cycle - somatid, spore, double spore. However, in a highly acidic (low pH) lactic acid environment, somatids pleomorphise into a further 13 stages. These stages include viral-bacterial-yeast-like-fungus forms that: a) migrate to the cell nucleus releasing "mycotoxins" causing cell DNA damage and the mutation of normal cells into cancer cells, and b) ferments the glucose in cancer cells, providing a natural growth factor for cancer and tumor cells to metastasize in the body. For this reason it is recommended you include at least one of the following protocols to remove and keep at bay the cancer-fungus in your body: Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic, Baking Soda, Essiac Tea, Clarkia, and Hyperthermia.

Step 7: Detoxing the liver and colon of toxins

Those with cancer are typically overloaded with toxins in the key immune system organs of the body: the liver and colon. Toxins include "mycotoxins" or acidic waste products caused by: 1) the cancer-fungus, 2) a poor diet, 3) chemicals, alcohol, tobacco, 4) antibiotics, 5) chemotherapy agents, 6) fermentation of stress hormones, 7) poor exercise regime causing a build-up of lactic acid, and 8) dead microbes, parasites and cancer cells. These toxins build up primarily in the liver -- the master immune system organ. When the liver is overloaded with these toxins, your immune system is weakened and you feel sicker, and cancer and viral-bacterial-yeast-like-fungus thrives. Thus it is very important to have a plan to detox the liver (the master immune system organ), the colon (the intestinal immune system), as well as the gall bladder and kidneys -- especially if you are undertaking a treatment to kill cancer cells or the cancer fungus. If you don't, your liver simply cannot remove all the dead microbes and cancer cells, which remain overloaded in the liver. It is strongly recommended you include a daily treatment plan for detoxing the liver and colon. See Liver-Colon Cleanse for further details. Ozonated Water should be considered also, for it is a superb body detoxifier, but should NOT be used by those with lung cancer or lung conditions.

Step 8: Restoring the Krebs' Cycle with niacin & vitamin C

Cancer can only exist when the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle of a person's body cells is broken. And this is due to adrenaline depletion (in phase 2), niacin deficiency (in phase 4) and vitamin C depletion (in phase 5), all of which are caused by prolonged chronic stress. Dr Abram Hoffer, the department head of psychiatry at a major hospital in Canada, started using niacin and high doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to treat psychiatric patients and found (by accident) that it also effected a cure in some of his patients with cancer. He subsequently found of 132 patients he treated in his own private practice with advanced stage cancer, 101 patients who followed his program (below) lived on average 16 times longer than the 31 patients who did not or could not follow his program. Dr Abram Hoffer and Linus Pauling presented the following study findings: "Mean survival time for the 31 patients who did not follow the regimen is 5.7 months. Of the others, who did follow the regimen, 20% were poor responders, with mean survival time 10 months, and 80% were good responders, with mean survival time 122 months for 32 patients with cancer of the breast, ovary, cervix, and uterus and 72 months for 47 patients with other kinds of cancer." [Click here to read the full Abram Hoffer/Linus Pauling study and patient survival times.]

Dr Abram Hoffer recommended the following regime to his patients: "The first thing I try to do is to cut their fat way down. So, I put them all on a dairy free program. I reduce, but I don't eliminate, meat and fish, and I ask them to increase their vegetables, especially raw, as much as they can. I think it's a good, reasonable diet, which most people can follow without too much difficulty. Having spent some time with them going over what they ought to eat, I begin to talk about the nutrients. The first one, of course, is vitamin C. The dose is variable. I find that most patients can take 12 grams per day without much difficulty, that's the crystalline vitamin C sodium ascorbate or calcium ascorbate. They take one teaspoon three times per day. If they do not develop diarrhea, I ask them to increase it until this occurs and then to cut back below that level. I think in many cases it would be desirable to use intravenous vitamin C. I also add vitamin B-3, either niacin or niacinamide. I prescribe from 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. I also add a B (vitamin) complex preparation 50 or 100. I think vitamin E is an extremely important anti-oxidant and I use that as well, 800 to 1200 I.U. They also get 25,000 to 75,000 units of beta carotene. I s
ometimes use vitamin A. (One cup of raw carrot juice contains 36,600 units of beta carotene, which converts to vitamin A). I like to use folic acid for lung cancer, and for cancer of the uterus. I use selenium, 200 mcg, three times per day. I use some zinc, especially for prostatic cancers and I do use calcium-magnesium." [Click here to read Dr Abram Hoffer's complete Niacin and Vitamin C Protocol]

[Note: Sourcing the correct ascorbic acid is important. NutriBiotic Ascorbic Acid 100% Pure Vitamin C 5lb from www.iHerb.com appear to offer the best value bulk pharmaceutical grade crystalline ascorbic acid.]

Step 9: Re-alkalizing the body's natural pH balance

As discovered by Otto Warburg, cancer cells only survive in a low pH highly acidic environment, and this is why those with cancer typically have a low pH of between 4.0 and 6.5pH. This highly acidic environment occurs when the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle of the cell is broken due prolonged chronic stress depleting all-important adrenaline reserves. As the cell can no longer produce ATP energy via the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle, the cell instead ferments glucose [to obtain smaller amounts of ATP energy] via the process known as Glycolysis, causing lactic acid levels to rise sharply within the cell. This lactic acid problem is further compounded when the somatid in phase 3 of cancer pleomorphises into the cancer-fungus to ferment rising glucose and lactic acid, itself releasing acidic waste products called "mycotoxins". As cancer cells find it difficult to survive in a high pH alkaline environment of 7.5 or greater, it is therefore essential to: 1) Remove the lactic-acid forming psycho-emotional stress (i.e. toxic negative emotions), 2) introduce alkaline-based foods, and 3) include dextrorotatory lactic acid, which is administered in homeopathic form as prescribed by Dr Waltraut Fryda in phase 2 of cancer.

Step 10: Reversing the subconscious desire to "exit life"

As revealed by the Holy Spirit of God in phase 6 of cancer, cancer manifests as a result of a subconscious wanting to "exit life", caused by the individual feeling overwhelmed by the pain of life and no longer having a strong desire or will to live. This desire to exit life -- experienced not so much consciously, but at the subconscious "feeling level" of the mind -- sends subliminal messages to the immune system to shut down and stop working, enabling cancer cells and the cancer-fungus to thrive. God reveals it is important to examine this subconscious desire to exit life and to see whether 2-4 years prior to diagnosis you felt this way, and to make the decision to re-activate the immune system, by generating an energy of wanting to live that is greater than the energy to exit life. The Cancer Healing Guide will help you examine your will to live in greater depth, and of course, removing the toxic negative emotions (emotional pain) that caused the subconscious desire to exit life is a critical key component.

Step 11: Connecting to God / your Higher Spiritual Self

At Puna Wai Ora, we regularly receive messages from God to guide us in the work we are doing. When we asked what is the best late stage alternative cancer treatment available, the first reply we received was prayer. The Angels spoke of the Lord's Prayer spoken out loud daily - preferably in Latin - was the most effective late stage cancer treatment. They indicated it was important to: 1. Ask God for forgiveness of any wrong-doings, 2. Ask God to fill them with white love and light, 3. Ask for the pain to be diminished in Jesus' name [or another spiritual being you pray to], 4. State "Please bless me with white love and light in Jesus' name and let the healing begin", and 5. Thank God, Jesus and the Angels for their healing and your recovery. These are the words of God delivered by the angels: "God will decide if a miracle happens. They need to connect with themselves more that they are on the right path to awareness of spiritual realms and God. They must believe in God to get through, to have more faith and trust in God. Once they open up, they will be open up in more ways than one. Their pain will not be as intense, they will be comforted."

Step 12: Choosing an alternative cancer treatment

It is important to choose at least one alternative cancer treatment to target and eliminate cancer cells within the body. In most cases you should only need to choose one treatment in addition to the above 11 steps. We highly recommend your alternative cancer treatment include at least one dietary treatment such as the Johanna Budwig Cancer Diet, the Gerson Therapy Cancer Diet, the Bill Henderson Diet Protocol (based on the Budwig diet), or the Brandt Grape Cure. The 42 day organic juice fast known as the Breuss Cure or Breuss Treatment has also been used in the treatment of cancer. Remember, always choose a diet you enjoy that fosters a will to live. To view a list of further treatment options, see: Alternative Cancer Treatments.

God reveals Cancer is
​seven types of fungus

In this extraordinary revelation, the Holy Spirit of God reveals cancer is in fact seven different types of fungus. The Holy Spirit of God also reveals the two natural remedies for reversing this disease at the outer physical level.


God reveals the cancer-fungus is caused by a subconscious wanting to "exit life"

In a further extraordinary revelation, the Holy Spirit of God reveals cancer is caused by a subconscious wanting to "exit life". Healing the mind-body-spirit is thus a crucial step to fostering a will to live.


Glen Russell: The weed that is cancer must be cut off at the root, to ensure it does not regrow. Many cut off the top of the weed (what we see at the surface) by taking physical remedies; but the root of the dis-ease, the spiritual and mental dis-ease, is often left behind.

Restoring the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle: A two-pronged approach

As the patient makes a sustained effort to cut off the root of the cancer weed (the spiritual and mental dis-ease), this will begin the process of normalising the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle naturally, through the normalisation of adrenaline levels and niacin and vitamin C levels. Yet this takes time. And if the cancer has progressed to such a point, that as revealed by God in phase 6 of Cancer may be difficult to reverse, the approach taken by Dr Abram Hoffer and Linus Pauling in Step 8 (below) demonstrates that even in a high percentage of late-stage cancer patients, long term survival is possible using simply this outer physical "Krebs" approach. An analogy one could equate is such: The house is on fire (the cancer in the body) and all the conditions for creating the fire are in the process of being removed (in steps 1-4), yet the fire still burns. So a two-pronged approach is often necessary to both contain and stamp out the existing fire, while at the same time removing all conditions that could restart the fire anew.

Dr Lorraine Day, former Chief of Staff of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital, reveals how after using the Gerson Therapy Cancer Diet for 8-9 months to cure her cancer, without addressing the root underlying psycho-emotional cause, that the cancer came back even more aggressively.

About this
​Program

The 12 Step Cancer Survivor Program has been prepared by Glen Russell of Puna Wai Ora Mind-Body Cancer Clinic. It points to critical areas to be considered when one is seeking to reverse the 6 phases of cancer outlined in Psycho-Oncology: The 6 Phases of Cancer.

FAQ

1. Is it necessary to include all 12 steps in this program?

The answer is no. For example, you may address healing the root psycho-emotional cause of cancer (in Step 1) and do this successfully, and combine this with killing the cancer fungus (in Step 6), or with restoring the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle (in Step 8). If you restore the Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle, this automatically prevents normal cells mutating into the cancer fungus, so in effect Step 6 would not be necessary; although you can do both (Step 6 and Step 8) to super-charge the effect.

Similarly, you could combine Step 1 with a cancer diet (such as the Gerson Therapy Cancer Diet) in Step 12. Both of these steps contribute to eliminating the cancer fungus (in Step 6) and also contribute to normalising pH acid/alkaline levels (in Step 9). Step 1, that is the healing of the root psycho-emotional cause of cancer, also contributes to normalising melatonin, adrenaline and stress hormone cortisol levels, so steps 2-4 are not crucially important if you are already implementing Step 1 correctly.

Deciding which steps to include comes down to personal choice; for not every step of this program is either suitable or well-tolerated; and some of the therapies may present as a contraindication to a patient with a pre-existing condition (such as ozone water should not be consumed by those with lung disease or lung cancer). With that said, one could certainly do all 12 steps of this program (which predominantly are natural therapies) under the supervision of their doctor.

2. Should I undertake chemotherapy / radiation while on this program?

The 12 Step Cancer Survivor Program includes therapies which generally fall under the category of "complementary and alternative medicine" or CAM. For the most part, these therapies support the immune system and the healing process during harsher treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. For example, vitamin C is known to protect the immune system during chemotherapy, and hyperthermia is known to increase the effectiveness of radiation.

While there is some anecdotal evidence of survival rates being greater amongst those who do both mainstream medicine and CAM, deciding whether to undertake chemotherapy and radiation remains always a personal choice.

It must also be stressed that Linus Pauling concluded in his research that the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin C was not as effective if used AFTER chemotherapy, versus prior to chemotherapy.

3. Do people recover from cancer on this program?

A number of individuals with late stage cancer who have worked one-on-one with Glen Russell to heal the root psycho-emotional cause of cancer (in Step 1) have entered into complete remission within 2 weeks of having completed their sessions. Some of these patients, including two medical doctors, are mentioned as case studies in Psycho-Oncology: The 6 Phases of Cancer. This, however, does not mean the cancer could not return if the patient does not change their mental outlook, and "re-creates" the psychological conditions that leads to a new bout of cancer.

Apart from these cases who have worked one-on-one with Glen, it is difficult to ascertain the effectiveness of this program, as many combine this program (or parts of it) with other alternative or mainstream therapies.
