Beating Breast Cancer - One Cancer Patient's Story of Success With the 3 A's of Healing By Sandra L Gahlinger Platinum Quality Author

I've been where you are. I've heard the dreaded words, "I'm sorry. It was cancer." It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Yet, if you or someone you love have heard those words, I'd like to share something I stumbled across that helped me beat breast cancer - and led to rapid healing after surgery.
In fact, I had a double mastectomy. My four-hour surgery took just under two hours - and that was to the time it took to remove the breasts AND reconstruct them. I was told that I wouldn't get my implants right away. (I did.) I expected heavy bruising, but it was minimal. I was also told my ports would be in for about a week. Yet, they were removed the next day.
Now, can you expect these same results? I can't say.
I've been hesitant to share my secret publicly because frankly, some of it can seem quite wierd.
My philosophy with cancer was, "I'll do whatever works. I'll do what I have to do, and use everything at my disposal."
Here are my 3 A's of Healing:
1. Allopathic - Allopathic medicine is regular, western medicine. It's surgery, morphine, lumpectomies, etc. I find that a lot of people are blatantly opposed to western medicine, or they don't trust it. (Most doctors are there for the love of what they do and want to use their gifts to help you.) There are the extreme "new age, woo woo" types who feel they "shouldn't" use allopathic medicine. Their belief goes something like this: That somehow, by using western medicine, they aren't trusting "the universe"...that if their connection to "the universe" or God or whatever were strong enough, the disease would heal itself. It is possible, however, that the universe delivers solutions and healing in the form of surgery or a pill.
2. Alternative - These are things like essential oils, herbs, chiropractic. It's now more commonly called "complementary medicine". These are other branches of medicine - usually Eastern in origin - that can help you access your body's natural capacity to heal itself. Your body DOES have the capacity to heal itself. Think about it - if you get a cut or scrape, you don't fret about whether or not you'll get better. You just KNOW that it'll heal. Some studies say that our body regularly has errant cells, like cancer, but our bodies destroy these cells. Alternative therapies can help you access the mind/body/spirit connection that can "flip the switch" and help your body do what it always does - heal.

Colon-Liver Cancer: A Story of a Miraculous Healing By Chris Teo, Ph.D. Platinum Quality Author

Goh, was 73 year-old male. He was diagnosed with colon cancer. He opted for alternative healing instead of an operation. With the help of his son, he changed to a totally raw, vegetarian diet. After two months, the tumours in the colon mysteriously disappeared. The doctor took numerous X-rays on him and was baffled as to what had happened. Believing that he was cured, Goh went back to his old ways and diet! Within two months, the cancer came back. This time he was in severe pains. Besides, the cancer had spread to the liver. He was in so much agony that the family had to send him to the hospital. At first, the doctors were reluctant to admit him and scolded his son for "trying to be too clever."
Medically there was nothing anybody could do for him, except to give him painkillers. He was the worst of patients in the hospital cancer ward. When the specialist came on ward rounds, he would refuse to see Goh, because according to the specialist Goh's "liver did not function anymore!" His stomach was bloated and the legs swelled and the rest of him was reduced to skin and bones. His condition was beyond imagination. He was unable to walk, even for a short distance to the toilet, and could barely talk. After almost three months, he was brought home because according to his family "if he had to die, let him die at home." Except for one son, the rest of the family members gave him up for dead. They said: "There is no need to give him anything -- why waste the money, there is no chance, no hope anymore."
Around Goh's 73th birthday, the family made him a coat. Actually, that coat was intended for his anticipated funeral. Goh himself gave up, refusing to take any medication -- he was ready to die. Fortunately, one of his sons refused to accept defeat. He came to CA Care and asked for herbs. Goh was prescribed many herbs but he only agreed to take the Abdominal Distension tea, refusing the AB, Liver-P etc. After two weeks, the swelling subsided and the healing started! As Goh gained confidence, he started to take other prescribed herbs. Soon, all the pains were gone and he regained his health.

Diagnosed skin cancer healed

In the fall of 2008, an unsightly growth appeared on my forehead. I’d witnessed and experienced healings of illness, injury, loss, and other challenges in our family throughout my life, and it was natural to turn first to Christian Science prayer-based treatment. I also called a Christian Science practitioner for support.
However, as the growth got bigger, so did my fear, which prompted me to see a dermatologist. A biopsy was performed, and I was told that this was skin cancer, caused by heredity and prior sun damage. Radiation or surgery was given as options for removal. Surgery was scheduled with a specialist because the doctor felt the growth was too large for him to remove, and that plastic surgery might also be required.
As this information was being presented, an angel message of spiritual strength assured me that I did have a third, and better, choice. It became clear to me that medical options offer a temporary material fix, whereas metaphysical healing through Christian Science provides a permanent spiritual solution. Fear, self-condemnation, and family members’ concerns had seemed to be reasons to seek a medical diagnosis. I now know that there needed to be much more alertness every day, on my part, to what Mary Baker Eddy referred to as “animal magnetism,” the idea that there is a power at work in our lives opposed to God.
Meeting and speaking with the Christian Science practitioner again on a regular basis gave me a renewed sense of my spiritual identity, and the confidence to cancel the surgery. The medical staff called, concerned about the canceled appointment, but I assured them that I was in good care and relying on Christian Science treatment. I knew that healing was going on, and felt more and more confident that I could totally trust and yield to the power of God’s love and care.
For about three months, with help from the practitioner, both theories of heredity and irreversible sun damage were prayerfully addressed head-on. Many articles from the early Sentinels and Christian Science Journals were shared, and the CD Anthology of Classic Articles was my companion in the car. I especially enjoyed Louise Knight Wheatley’s article “The smell of fire.” In the article, residual symptoms related to past history are identified as the false belief that error did happen, and has a history. Trust in the one God delivers us from fiery trials of false beliefs, without a hint of damage, no sting, no remembrance of anything ungodlike ever existing, just as it did for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Bible (see Daniel, chapter 3). Always walking with us, as in the furnace, is the redeeming, comforting Christ-presence.
