Marital abuse
What was significant was the wife. I noted her to have depression and no sooner did she confess that she was being abused. I feel so sorry for her. She was trapped in the marriage, claiming that she has to be strong for the family and the kids.
She couldn't tell anyone about it for fear of the husband or the fear from being talked about in the inner circle.
Which bring me to a point, as what Armstrong-Coster wrote in her book Living and Dying with Cancer

Why this study is important
This study shows that at the very least for breast cancer, chronic stress (non-painful stress) can induce cancer cells to become more metastatic. Chronic stress shifts to a "sympathetic predominance." This make the cancer cells "outside" the primary tumor more aggressive.
So really stress is not a good idea for cancer patients.

Cancer Cells are resistant to angiogenesis inhibitors?
This new study seems to say at least 3 things:
1. Its not the cancer that directly causes cachexia, its the stromal cells or fibroblast dying rapidly due to the stress induced by cancer cells.
2. Cancer Cells have mitochondria. In a "normal environment" where cancer cells are present together with the fibroblasts, mitochondria are present. THis is in contrast to cancer cell cultures where cancer cells had no mitochondria.
3. Angiogenesis inhibitors may actually make cancer cells more aggressive in causing cachexia, relapse and metastasis.

Hmm Looks like some Doctors are starting to realize something wrong with the statistics
After reading this paper, I am glad that someone had the "balls" to really look at how these trials make a big thing with small results. I remember a chemo regimen, forgot which one, where the length of survival was SIGNIFICANTLY longer than the older regimen, but looking at the data, i was surprised the difference was less than 3 months!!!
Is that how we look at the data, 3 months is significant on paper, but in real life?

Cancers responding to Healing Frequencies?
I think this is a very important step towards the integration of the Alternative and the Conventional! If doctors will open up to these possibilities, I feel it will be for the benefit of ALL cancer patients.
You dont lose anything aside from finances( if you are dying, money becomes secondary priority), you won't have any adverse effects. However, it ain't gonna cure you, because as you can see its effect is not immediate.
I hope more studies ike this will come out

Weeks in melancholy
I was looking and looking for something to read or learn. It felt like I needed to do something, but I dont know what?
And then, it sort of just came to me, its about time to get away for awhile. As I kept reading this quote about looking at this at a distance. Maybe its time for me to distance myself from this space and re-evaluate.

Cancer as part of evolution
It seems from this study, our genes specifically the cancer genes where in fact already part of the uni-cellular organisms. And as cell evolved to multicellular organism, we also have multiple inherent "gatekeepers" to keep these genes in check.
So what triggers these genes to become active again? hmm I bet Dr. Bruce Lipton can be a good reference to this.

And then this study came out, wherein they got the plasma of a cancer patient and they introduced it to "normal" cultured cells, and lo and behold, true enough, the cells transformed into cancer cells. They call it genometastasis.

Cory Aquino has passed Away
Former President Corazon Aquino is now at the hospital in pain due to cancer of colon. Even in her weakest state of health, she once again has come and united the Filipino people in praying and supporting her. I find that a wonderful trait of Mrs. Aquino, that she can still muster a great number of people behind her, whether in politics or otherwise.Though her presidency was wrought in ineffective political and economic leadership, her strength really showed in terms of her spiritual leadership. Only time will tell if this spiritual leadership will wake up the Filipinos about themselves and what Filipinos want for their future.
She has passed away on August 1st, 2009.

Remarkable turn around
After a session of Access Healing, she felt better less pain, what was wonderful, was after the session, we had a talk about how it came back after being in remission. AShe admitted that this relapse happened after her sister passed away. She recognized the importance of her siblings being together.
After the talk, her pain surprisingly disappeared and the day after swelling was visibly lesser. Weird and wonderful

Deja Vu
This is exactly what happened to my patient before, she was so out of breath 24hrs a day, on 5L of O2. It wasnt a nice thing to see.
And now, it seems that, if things will not get better she will likewise become like this. Have to act fast, no more mistakes and missteps.
