Treatment of cancer with needles and electric shock. It is better to be treated for cancer in your sleep

In the world medical practice treatment regimen for malignant and benign neoplasms lies in the protocols cancer care. According to this approach, doctors use a multidisciplinary method, which is adjusted depending on the latest developments pharmacology and clinical trials. This technique includes a complex of surgical and conservative treatment.

Cancer cure– this is not an easy process, but as practice shows, it is a very real possibility. For the right choice anti-cancer effects require a consultation of doctors, at which specialists of various profiles develop tactics for managing the patient.

Leading clinics abroad

Is it possible to completely cure cancer with surgery?

During radical intervention Oncologists adhere to two basic principles:

1. Antiblastics– complete excision of mutated cells in the surgical area.
2. Ablastika– prophylactic tumor isolation together with nearby tissues and regional lymph nodes.

The possibility of recovery of a cancer patient directly depends on the prevalence pathological process. Initial stages, cancer cure where the in a radical way, have the highest patient survival rates. At the terminal stages of malignant progress, recovery is hampered by multiple metastases and infiltrative destruction of the affected organ.

According to the final result of therapy, surgical interventions are of the following types:

Radical way

The malignant tumor is completely removed. Only this technique can provide cure for stage 4 cancer. In some clinical cases doctors resort to extensive operations with deletion large quantity adjacent tissues and structures. An example of such treatment is when a woman’s affected breast is completely removed.

Palliative method

Sometimes the location and structure of tumor formation excludes the possibility of complete isolation of mutated masses. In such a situation, the surgeon excises only part pathological neoplasm. To achieve a positive result upon completion of palliative intervention, the patient is prescribed a course of chemotherapy and ionizing radiation.

Symptomatic impact

Inoperable forms of cancer require surgery for life-saving reasons when it is necessary to urgently eliminate intestinal obstruction, spontaneous bleeding or grounding of an organ.

The arsenal of modern oncology surgery includes the following innovative operating techniques:

• Laser therapy:

Advantage laser technology consists of layer-by-layer dissection of tumor masses, during which coagulation takes place. This eliminates dispersion and surgical bleeding.

• Cryosurgery:

IN Lately The method of tumor isolation using ultra-low temperature is gaining increasing popularity. The source of nitrous oxide is supplied directly to the site of mutation. is a bloodless and painless procedure.

• Electrocoagulation:

The destruction of a mutation can be carried out through the point supply of high power electric current. This effect is indicated exclusively for superficial forms of oncology in the first stages of growth.

Radiation therapy in the fight against cancer

The effectiveness of ionizing radiation is observed in the treatment of radiosensitive tumors. neutralize cancer cells located in active phase. has the following effects:

1. Liquidation inflammatory process in the field of atypical cell division.
2. Stabilization or reduction of the volume of the cancer lesion and regional lymph nodes.
3. Partial blocking of the lumen of cancer vessels.

Tonic radiation is prescribed to approximately 70% of cancer patients. It could be like independent technique, so additional remedy anticancer therapy.

Cure cancer with chemotherapy

Cytotoxic destroy pathological elements at the systemic level. This therapy can be carried out in two ways:

1. Self-treatment.
2. An additional method of influencing the tumor.

• Preoperative preparation.
• Postoperative course, which is aimed at preventing relapse.

Every year thousands of people die from cancer. Medicine is powerless to help them and that is good reasons. Cancer is many-sided and diverse; it is caused by viruses, chemical irritants and substances formed in the body during deviations from normal biochemical processes. Cancer is difficult to treat because tumor cells are related to other cells in the body, differing only in their ability to grow uncontrollably.

To treat cancer in humans, Scalpel, Beam, Medicine and Word are used in various combinations. With a scalpel, not everything can be cut out so cleanly that not a single cancer cell remains. Radiation exposure to the tumor is accompanied by irradiation healthy cells and the body as a whole. Universal medicine against cancer has not been found and cannot be found, because each form of cancer requires its own treatment and its own medicine.

Traditional healers and healers try to treat cancer with a spell and “fermented” celandine, to which some representatives official medicine treats with indignation and distrust. Nevertheless, treatment with the Word has a reliable physiological basis. The central nervous system cannot directly control processes in the body, but it determines the conditions in which it is located. From the point of view of the teachings of Acad. I. P. Pavlov about reflexes and the fundamentals of systems engineering, a person can be considered as a “black box” controlled by a nervous system with two signaling subsystems. Their interaction can be explained with a simple example. Take a slice of lemon into your mouth; the taste receptors will report acid in the mouth, and a reflexive release of saliva will begin, which will be alkaline. If they tell you: “Imagine that you put a slice of lemon in your mouth, very SOUR,” your second alarm system, tuned to the Word, will go off. You will have saliva in your mouth that is alkaline, but in smaller quantities. It’s not enough because the first signal system, which controls the situation, testifies: there is no slice, just words Now let’s block the control of the first signal system and calm it down. Under hypnosis, half asleep, with the words: “You have a piece of SOUR lemon in your mouth,” you will take a mouthful of saliva

You can touch a patient in hypnotic sleep with a cold glass rod and tell him that it is a hot nail. The nervous system will react to the touch as a pain signal, and a burn blister will appear at the site of contact.

Control errors nervous system in assessing the situation can lead to serious consequences, even lethal. Oncologists know of numerous cases of people dying only from the firm belief that they have cancer and it is incurable. On the other hand, there are reliable cases of spontaneous recovery from cancer. Here is a striking example of self-hypnosis that at one time amazed the Irkutsk professor Igor Stepanovich Sumbaev. They operated on the woman, discovered that she had advanced cancer with many metastases, stitched her up and sent her home to die. The woman, fully confident that her tumor had been removed, returned to her native village and began to engage in peasant labor. Nineteen years later, she accidentally met the doctor who was operating and thanked him warmly for saving her. During the examination, it was found that all her tumors had resolved without a trace.

Over half a century of scientific activity, I have twice helped outstanding psychotherapists and hypnotists who began treating cancer. healing sleep and suggestion.

Pavel Ignatievich Bul was a highly qualified hypnotist. He accompanied his lectures on hypnosis and suggestion with a session of mass hypnosis. Boule treated patients in the hypnotarium - it was a room with a high ceiling and a large curtained window. Along the wall were beds with soft mattresses and snow-white pillows. Below in the wall there was a heater grate; air was flowing slightly and somewhere a fan was making a quiet noise. I immediately wanted to sleep

The list of diseases that Boule treated included various neuroses, starting with unrequited love, the consequences of stress, insomnia, various phobias, obsessive desires and urinary incontinence. Among his patients were asthmatics and patients with stomach ulcers caused by increased acidity Boole treated these diseases especially successfully. He undertook the treatment of smokers only if the patient himself sincerely and strongly wanted to get rid of smoking, and he did not undertake to treat alcoholics at all - he considered it a completely hopeless matter.

I took the device to Boulya and even attended one of the first sessions of using the Electroson-8 device; I sat quietly in the corner. Buhl worked in tandem with a small, dexterous and inconspicuous assistant. She applied electrodes, set individual current levels, and turned channels on and off as the sleep process progressed. There were two pairs of electrodes: one on the eyebrows of the patients, the other on the back of the head. There were damp cloth pads under the electrodes. Boule never said the word “hypnosis”, called what was happening “sleep therapy”, explained to the patients that the current pulses would be small and harmless, so he would say words to help them fall asleep.

Over the years, I can’t accurately reproduce the formula of suggestion; I remember that it was a sequential lull of the body from the toes to the head. It ended with the words: “You are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping and hearing my voice from afar.” The whole session lasted about forty-five minutes, the patients were dozing (or pretending to be dozing), then Buhl said: “Now I’ll count to three, the count is three.” - you will wake up joyful and rested. One Two Three!" Buhl explained that for the first two sessions he simply accustoms patients to sleep in contact with him and only then begins to make suggestions.

Boule was not a clinician; he was a preventive specialist. Believed that many diseases, including cancer, arise from physical inactivity and wrong image life. If people slept for eight hours, ate regularly and properly without excess calories, did morning exercises and a five-minute warm-up every hour, and walked to and from work, then the number of cancer patients would drop sharply. Boole imagined the attack on cancer as the universal instillation of an irresistible desire to lead correct image life.

When asked directly how he was going to treat those who already had cancer, Buhl replied that it was approximately the same as hemophiliacs. Buhl treated hemophilia by inducing convulsive compression of the blood vessels around the wound under hypnosis.

Our work on the Electroson-8 apparatus has ended in an unexpected way: The deputy called me and Kondurov. director of the Physicotechnical Institute and sent “on the carpet” to the head. Department of Nervous Diseases to Professor Bulatov. The venerable professor and Someone in Gray first asked Kondurov about the structure of the Electrosleep-8 apparatus and about his work on the creation of a psychotron. Then the professor explained to us that Boule was a fanatic, that he was ready to conduct experiments on his own mother, that experiments with electrosleep could harm the psyche of people. Instrumental hypnosis should be carried out by specialists, not amateurs, and demanded that all contacts with Boule be interrupted.

Professor of Irkutsk University Igor Stepanovich Sumbaev was also no amateur. A prominent scientist - psychotherapist and hypnotist, author of the books “Hypnosis and Suggestion” (1950) and “Scientific Creativity” (1957) - studied the hidden capabilities of the central nervous system to control processes in the body. I had a chance to meet him in the early sixties, when he was visiting his son, the famous nuclear physicist Oleg Igorevich Sumbaev. Igor Stepanovich asked me to tell in detail about the experiments with electrosleep. Said that Boule romantic: cancer has different shapes and each form will require its own treatment by suggestion. There are forms of cancer that are not susceptible to suggestion. Instrumental hypnosis is impossible; the Electrosleep device only turns off the first alarm system and allows the doctor to enter into confidential contact with the patient. Current pulses cannot replace the words, rhythm and intonation of suggestion.

Suggestion can be used to treat benign tumors. Healers remove warts with a thread, a knot and a spell. Sumbaev was going to treat cancer patients using the system of Dr. William Koch in combination with therapeutic sleep and crucin injections. He asked to make him a generator of current pulses of variable frequency, but did not have time to use it; three months later, a sad message came about his untimely death.

Koch believed that it was necessary, first of all, to isolate patients from sympathetic relatives and friends and from patients of the 3rd and 4th degrees. Create a friendly sanatorium environment for them. Establish a protein-free diet, even exclude foods with high content vegetable proteins(soybeans, peas, beans, etc.). Required physical exercise with a gradual and steady increase in loads and injections of restorative drugs and crucin.

Now that materials about Dr. Koch’s system have become available, we can try to reconstruct Sumbaev’s plan. It is based on known fact in the case of protein starvation, when the body is forced to use internal resources, it begins to resolve cancerous tumors. In Chagas disease and sleeping sickness, which are accompanied by severe weight loss, the tumors are the first to disappear.

Crucin and trypanose are oncostatic agents fashionable in the 1950s; they were prepared from killed trypanosomes. The mechanism of their action is unclear. There is an assumption that they “tag” cancer cells and make them vulnerable to killer cells (phagocytes). Sumbaev, naturally, did not know about medicines, created by pharmacologists over half a century, so the word “crucin” simply means Medicine. True, recently a lot has been written about the return of crucin and trypanose to oncological practice.

Unfortunately, we do not know how Sumbaev intended to introduce therapeutic sleep and suggestion into oncological practice. Apparently you need to use afternoon nap with the Electrosleep device turned on and not turned on. First, listen to soothing music, then the recorded whispers of the best psychotherapists: “Your tumor is treatable, we help your body cope with it. You are on a strict protein-free diet, you will only drink clean water, you need to exercise hard, you are given injections of miracle drugs. Your muscles grow due to the tumor. How quickly you resolve it depends only on you The spirit is stronger than the body!”

It is possible that a sanatorium for cancer patients of the 1st and 2nd degrees should be created on the model of a kibbutz, i.e. with self-sufficiency of patients. Replace part physical therapy physical labor. It is important that the sanatorium has a lot of distracting activities. Makarenko, who was a great connoisseur of human souls, for example, forced all his charges to take part in dramatic performances to the best of their ability.

At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, a team of physiologists and doctors, headed by Professor Valery Pavlovich Lebedev, came close to the problem of treating oncological diseases. They studied the effect of pulsed currents on human brain. The researchers changed the position of the electrodes on the head, the current strength, frequency, polarity and duty cycle of the pulses. It turned out that transcranial brain stimulation electric shock leads to the production of protective opioid peptides. They normalize the psychophysiological state of a person, stop pain syndromes, stimulate the immune system, causing the activity of killer cells and phagocytes to sharply increase. All that remains is to set them against a malignant neoplasm. For this purpose, audio cassettes with recordings of the corresponding musical and speech suggestive influences have been prepared.

Radioactive isotopes are bound to organic molecules that are selectively taken up by cancer cells or tumors. Pharmaceutical companies are good at keeping their secrets, especially when we're talking about about drugs for oncology. It is only known that dysprosium-165 is used to obtain drugs organic compounds, previously synthesized to bind stable gadolinium-157. A whole range of such drugs have been created for magnetic resonance diagnostics of cancer. The path of drugs from synthesis to humans can be extended over decades, if you take your time and do everything according to the rules.

Now about the main thing, about the relationship between the Oncologist and the Psychotherapist. Of course, neither Buhl, nor Sumbaev, nor Lebedev cured a single cancer patient, they simply did not have time. Koch cured two dozen patients, but his fate was disastrous - he did not have proper drugs for chemotherapy, so he used a placebo - glyoxylide, that is, oxidized glucose. To top it off, Koch put forward a very poor and vulnerable hypothesis about the origin of cancer, he was accused of quackery, and he was forced to stop his medical activities.

Oncologists are sometimes skeptical about the possibility of treating cancer with therapeutic sleep and suggestion. Moreover, any failure in treatment will be considered criminal: “They seduced the patient and did not allow him to operate on time.” And at the same time, oncologists are constantly faced with low effectiveness of treatment due to the patient’s internal belief that his cancer is incurable. Very often, the patient’s ideas about his illness differ from the doctor’s. This is where you need to involve a psychotherapist, armed with modern suggestion techniques. Postoperative regeneration and cancer chemotherapy will be greatly enhanced if supported by suggestion. And this can be done now.

There is only one way out: every oncologist should become a psychotherapist. There are all methodological possibilities for this. Transcranial exposure of the brain to current pulses will significantly speed up the rehabilitation process after surgery and laser intervention. Therapeutic sleep, listening to soporific music and recordings of suggestions from the best psychotherapists, will relieve cancerophobia syndrome and greatly enhance the effect of the medications. Pharmacologists began the synthesis of a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic drugs containing an organic matrix with an attached short-lived radioisotope, selectively absorbed cancer cells or the whole tumor. Together with therapeutic sleep and suggestion, these medications will allow you to begin a comprehensive attack on cancer.

Until recently, our antitumor arsenal was represented by three main methods: surgery, radiation therapy and drug treatment. In addition, they used various methods ablations, however, they were methods of contact physical (chemical) destruction of local tumor foci and ideologically were not very different from surgery.

However, in 2012, completely unnoticed by the wider oncology community, a new method therapy, potentially representing a small revolution in the field of treatment malignant tumors. The restrained reaction of oncologists to the publication of the first results of studies on the effectiveness and safety of this method was predictable, because it was fundamentally different from all previously known approaches, and its “theoretical basis” did not fit into our consciousness, accustomed to the three main available treatment methods.

The new method involved the use of malignant neoplasms low-intensity alternating electric fields. As a mechanism of antitumor effects, the presence of which has been confirmed in experiments in vitro And in vivo, the authors of the technique called the ability of electric fields of a certain frequency to disrupt the formation and functioning of the division spindle, as well as cause directed mixing of intracellular substrates and organelles. Both mechanisms are associated with the influence of electric fields on intracellular dipole molecules (molecules that have opposite charges at the poles and are capable of changing orientation in space under the influence of electric fields). The selectivity of the fields is determined by the “correct” selection of their frequency and intensity, taking into account the tumor and its surrounding tissues. As further studies showed, the selectivity of the method really turned out to be excellent (the effect is practically free of side effects characteristic of other types of antitumor therapy), however, the first reports of “electrical treatment” were still received with skepticism by most oncologists.

As the first and until recently only target of the new method, the developers chose glioblastoma - an almost always fatal brain tumor, with a very limited arsenal of available treatment options. Currently, the initial treatment of glioblastoma involves the maximum possible cytoreduction followed by chemoradiotherapy (radiation therapy up to 60 Gy with simultaneous use temozolomide) and adjuvant temozolomide therapy. Despite the fact that, compared with no treatment, this approach can significantly prolong the life of patients, in the vast majority of patients it still does not lead to a cure. According to various sources The median survival of patients with glioblastoma from the moment of initial diagnosis ranges from 12 to 18 months, 5-year survival does not exceed 10%. With the development of relapse or insensitivity to initial therapy, treatment options are even more limited - various modes chemotherapy, bevacizumab with or without additional local treatment (if possible), providing a median survival not exceeding 5-9 months. .

For the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma, a device generating “anti-tumor” electric fields, called Novo TTF-100A (TTF - tumor treating fields), was first used. The device (Fig. 1, 2) is a wearable electric field generator connected by wires to a special “helmet” (consisting of 12 replaceable external electrodes), which transmits fields to the affected areas.

To provide therapeutic effect It is necessary to wear the device almost around the clock, which allows for constant impact on the tumor.

Oddly enough, unlike many devices used in oncology, but using a more familiar mechanism of action, before being introduced into clinical practice Novo TTF-100A was randomized clinical trials for comparison with previously existing techniques. For example, various “supernova” devices and techniques for radiation therapy ( proton therapy, IMRT, IGRT) and surgery (robot surgeons, intraperitoneal hyperthermia, etc.) for many diseases were introduced into clinical practice without randomized trials (and sometimes even despite the presence of randomized trials indicating a lack of benefits compared to previously existing methods).

The first study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Novo TTF-100A randomized patients with supratentorial recurrence or progression of glioblastoma after treatment, in mandatory which included radiation therapy with or without competitive/adjuvant chemotherapy. The number of lines of previous treatment was not limited. To be included in the study, patients had to be in relatively satisfactory condition(Karnofsky index 70 and above) and do not have implantable electronic devices(including shunts, pumps, etc.). Eligible patients (n=237) were randomized to Novo TTF-100A (daily, 22 hours or more) or physician's choice. More than 80% of patients had 2 or more relapses of the disease, almost 90% received temozolomide during chemoradiotherapy and/or adjuvant therapy, 20% had previously received bevacizumab. Many patients had a significant volume of tumor foci - median largest size the tumor at the time of randomization was more than 5 cm. In the control group (therapy according to the doctor’s choice), 97% of patients received chemotherapy (monotherapy or combination regimens) as treatment.

With a median follow-up of 36 months, treatment results in both groups were almost comparable. Median progression-free survival (PFS) for patients using Novo TTF-100A was 2.2 versus 2.1 months for the control group (P=0.16). Median overall survival was 6.6 versus 6.0 months. respectively (P=0.27). At the same time, objective responses (complete and partial remission) to treatment were more often observed in the group of patients who used Novo TTF-100A - 15% versus 9.6% in the control group, respectively. All three patients who achieved complete remission were from the Novo TTF-100A group.

Therapy using the device was well tolerated, side effects, associated with the use of Novo TTF-100A, were mainly represented by local irritation in the area where the electrodes were applied. At the same time, despite the tendency to improve certain parameters of quality of life, the differences in this indicator did not reach statistical significance. Of course, the results of this study cannot be called outstanding in terms of effectiveness - it only showed the equivalence of the new method to a previously existing (and, admittedly, ineffective) method of treating similar patients. However, this evidence was accepted by US regulators: the device received FDA approval for clinical application and has been included as a possible treatment option in the guidelines of respected cancer societies (included as a possible option in the NCCN guidelines, albeit with a category of 2B).

However, the story continued. In 2014, at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) Annual Meeting, the interim results of a multicenter (83 centers from 12 countries) randomized phase III trial evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Novo TTF-100A were reported and published in abstract form. as a component of standard adjuvant therapy for glioblastomas (in parallel with adjuvant teomozolomide).

The study involved patients receiving standard therapy (maximum cytoreductive surgery, radiotherapy concurrent with temozolomide) to be randomized (2:1) to receive adjuvant therapy with or without temozolomide. simultaneous use NovoTTF-105A. The primary objective of the study was progression-free survival and the secondary objective was overall survival. Selection criteria included a histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma (WHO classification), age over 18 years, adequate previous treatment, Karnofsky status of 70% or higher, and life expectancy of at least 3 months. The dose of corticosteroids taken by patients had to be stable or reduced before inclusion, the time elapsed since the end of radiotherapy had to be >29, but<49 дней.

The characteristics of the patients were comparable - the average age was 57 and 58 years for the combination therapy group and temozolomide monotherapy, the severity of cytoreductive surgery was 89% and 90%, respectively. In 60% of patients in both groups, the methylation status of the MGMT promoter was determined, which was methylated in 39% and 41% of patients, respectively.

The study was suspended due to the apparent benefit of the experimental arm after the first planned interim analysis of the first 315 enrolled patients (210 in the adjuvant combination group and 105 in the temozolomide monotherapy group) followed for at least 18 months. Median progression-free survival was 7.1 months. in the combination therapy group versus 4.0 months. in the teomozolomide monotherapy group (HR=0.63; P=0.001). Median overall survival was 19.6 versus 16.6 months. respectively (HR=0.75; P=0.034). Two-year survival was 43% in the combination therapy group versus 29% in patients receiving temozolomide alone. The most common adverse event from the use of NovoTTF-105A was skin irritation in the area of ​​contact with the electrodes, which occurred in 45% of patients, but was moderate in the vast majority of them. The results of the study were subsequently presented at the ASCO 2015 conference, published again as an abstract, and finally as an article in the highly rated journal of the American Medical Association JAMA. At the time of submission of the article, the median follow-up of patients was 18 months. The median progression-free survival and survival curves presented in the article look quite impressive considering the disease in question (Fig. 3).

Despite a number of doubts, for example, the lack of blinding in the design of both studies, a potential conflict of interest - a number of researchers are shareholders of the company that owns NovoTTF-105A, and the still ambiguous assessment of this approach by a number of foreign experts, this topic seemed to us extremely interesting and worthy of presentation . Moreover, back in 2012 the company announced the start and conduct of research in the field of treatment of other malignant tumors.

And by the time the note was almost ready, but doubts remained about the advisability of its publication, a message appeared about the potential effectiveness of the device for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. In a small PANOVA study of 20 patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer, the device was used concomitantly with weekly gemcitabine in the disease-standard regimen (1250 mg/m2, weekly for 7 weeks, then 1, 8, and 15 weeks). days every 28 days). During the therapy, partial regression was achieved in 30% of patients, stabilization of the process was noted in another 30%, the median progression-free survival was 8.3 months, overall survival was 14.9 months, 53% of patients lived for a year or more. When compared indirectly, these data look much more promising than the results of gemcitabine in one of the modern phase III studies in pancreatic cancer, where the median progression-free survival was 3.7 months, overall survival was 6.7 months, and one year Only 22% of patients survived.

Of course, with regard to pancreatic cancer, this is only very preliminary data, but still, it seems to us, we can already say with confidence that in the near future a fundamentally different method of treating malignant neoplasms may appear in the hands of oncologists from all previously existing ones. And we probably shouldn’t continue to bashfully pass over this topic in silence, even if we don’t quite understand how this type of therapy works.

The other day I watched a video about how the Chinese get rid of cancer using tea from…. excrement of cows, goats, pigs... more precisely, they believe that they are getting rid of it. In general, people try to do everything they can to cure cancer and not only that.

Are there really cures for cancer? Today we’ll talk about this.

The problem of cancer is becoming more and more acute in our world today. We know through the media and word of mouth, and sometimes from the experience of our loved ones, that cancer (oncology) multiplies exponentially, claiming the lives of rich and poor, old and young.

And although we are told through the media and official reports of such organizations as the WHO, the UN, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation that cancer is not yet the worst scourge in the world (but it is one of them), because about 7-8 million people die from it every year, which is 12-13% of the number of deaths in the world per year (in just one year, 60-70 million people die in the world). On the one hand, there are many, but on the other hand, for example, more than twice as many people die from stroke, heart attack - 15 million people, slightly less from infectious diseases (HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis, influenza, etc.) - about 13 million people

In 2015, for example, more than 8 million people worldwide died from cancer (carcinoma). “At the same time, 70% of all cancer deaths live in countries with low per capita income. According to experts, cancer incidence statistics will remain disappointing in the near future. In particular, by 2030 the total number of deaths from cancer will be 13 million.”

Famous people suffer from forms of cancer such as brain cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer (especially smokers). What can we say about mere mortals - they die all the time. And according to official medicine, there is no vaccine for cancer, not even a good painkiller for cancer... But everyone wants to believe in a miracle, in the unrealizable supernatural, in healing, deliverance, resurrection.

Let's start the conversation about healing from cancer and the real possibilities of this healing with a question, with a question for you.

Do you believe in healing cancer?

I think most will answer vaguely. That they don’t believe, but they have heard about abstract cases of healing, so maybe some exceptions happen. Or is it possible to help at an early stage with surgical intervention - why not healing?

Well, of course, when people ask a question about healing from cancer, many mean late-stage, incurable cancer, and is there any salvation in this case?

It is clear to everyone that if the tumor is at an early stage and is operable, then a complete cure is possible, and surgery in this case is not the mystical act that people put into the concept of “healing.”

But we have heard about thousands (at least) of cases of healing from cancer precisely when doctors had already given an unfavorable prognosis. First of all, where did we hear this from? Mainly from the Internet, media. That is, the healed people are those whom we do not know. Secondly, they allowed us to personally verify that it was cancer, the person was sick, this particular person was sick, it was a late stage, and that today there is no cancer? No, we only know everything by ear, even if medical documents are made available to the public - there is no way to check them, there is no way to verify the person’s identity. And few people disclose such personal information about themselves.

I once observed in my life how people easily believe in these healings: in one sect, a preacher said that his wife was healed of stage 4 cancer, and everyone shouted “Amen” and “Hallelujah!” My friends who were in this sect at that time believed in everything without a single doubt, later, when they left there, of course, they doubted it. To my questions “why did you get the idea that the woman even had cancer, and especially the last stage?” - they answered that the preachers said so...

At the same time, the woman felt normal all the time, both before the healing and after, she behaved the same way in terms of well-being. As proof of getting rid of the disease, she showed the “brothers and sisters” a certain piece of paper and an X-ray image, while nothing on the piece of paper itself or on the image was clear to mere mortals.

I myself heard similar legends from other believers and sectarians, the healings were not confirmed by anything except the fiery speech of the healed or preachers or unclear pieces of paper, other “listeners” passed information about the healing along the chain, and there they added a lot of unnecessary details to the original information. And that the patient had late-stage cancer, when, for example, he simply had a benign tumor of unknown etiology, which resolved on its own.

People really want to believe in a miracle, desperately... Without a miracle, life is boring and hopeless.

Videos of healings from various sites (of which the Internet is full), where a certain, usually American, prophet instantly removes all diseases, restores tissues, returns legs, arms, is also unclear evidence, everyone applauds for no reason, and shouts about the healing even when There is no change in appearance to the person. When asked why there are no changes, they answer that God has already done everything, and we cannot doubt even if we do not see, and our doubts simply nullify the healing. That the healing has happened, even if it is invisible to the eye, and will manifest itself a little later, and if it does not manifest itself, then it is their own fault: they lost the healing with their doubts (the principle of faith and magic is to believe without doubt).

In general, those who believe in this get to the point that they fanatically believe in healing even when the pulse has stopped. They believe, believe and believe. And even when the coffin lid is closed, they talk like crazy about healing or a better fate for the departed.

I do not deny the possibility of healing from God, and I do not deny the existence of God, but as a rule, all the cases of healing that I have encountered and that I have observed in access through the media are abstract, not confirmed by anything.

Cancer begins with one single cell, so if among healthy cells there are damaged ones, they are programmed to die so as not to degenerate into other negative forms, and cancer cells begin to multiply in the same way as healthy ones, sometimes at a faster rate, causing tumor metastasis and damage to tissues and body systems. Why this process occurs, the impetus for the degeneration of a damaged cell into a cancerous one, from which a tumor begins to develop at lightning speed, is unclear, and no one has named the exact reasons.

There are risk factors, there are carcinogen mechanisms, there are genetic and biological factors. For example, lung cancer occurs in the overwhelming majority of cases in heavy smokers. Liver cancer occurs in alcoholics. But there are also paradoxes: brain cancer also occurs in people leading a healthy lifestyle, optimists and positive people.

But the mechanism of development of both brain cancer and lung cancer is identical - it all starts with one deformed cell, which did not eliminate itself, but continued to divide. It’s just that in a smoker, the disease hit the organ most accessible to damage - the lungs, but why those leading a healthy lifestyle suffered damage to the brain and why the mechanism of cell damage worked in them along with alcoholics and smokers is a mystery. A decline in immunity happens to everyone, but there are cases of illness against the background of health and good immunity.

And, of course, if Christ, according to the New Testament, resurrected people, is it really difficult for God to defeat these cells? Of course, I would like to say that everything is possible, “according to your faith, be it done for you.” But for now we live in a world where people die, and do not live forever, and they die, among other things, from cancer and other diseases.

For example, Louise Hay (who doesn’t know about her - type in a search engine) argued that in order to heal from cancer, you need to repeat affirmations, and according to personal characteristics, correctly bring associations (for example, imagine that cancer cells are washed out of the body like sand), visualizations. And she claimed that she herself beat cancer, but the doctor who examined her once gave an interview in which he admitted that Louise did not have any cancer, it was a benign tumor, but the patient, through self-hypnosis, “drilled” into her head that she was sick. But it’s still worth paying tribute to Hay - she lived for more than 90 years! So affirmations work in any case.

Recently, information began to circulate through unofficial channels that cancer is a fungus, and it can be defeated with the help of soda and antifungal agents. You can wash the tumor (I really don’t understand how to implement this in practice) with a soda solution, make droppers with this solution, drink this solution, the dosages are individual. And many videos and articles appeared with reviews about the effectiveness of this technique.

The articles contain information that members of the WHO and the secret conspiracy society are hiding from us that we can cure cancer a long time ago, with the help of banal soda, but for those who control the population and who need biological weapons and half-dead humanity, it is not profitable to give us information about healing products. That’s why we are poisoned with chemicals, harmful drugs, irradiated, cut, and driven into our heads that cancer is invincible.

The percentage of healing, or rather remission, at the 4th stage of cancer is less than 1 percent... In the case of brain and lung cancer, as a rule, remission is impossible; these are one of the most transient forms of cancer.

But if stage 1, 2 (and extremely rarely - 3) with removal of the tumor and metastases, radiation, remission is possible, and within several years.

There are cases when doctors were able to detect altered cells, a tumor at a very early stage, they were removed (with a laser, cyber knife, etc.), and the person subsequently lived prosperously, without remembering the diagnosis. Doctors today say that if you go to the doctors early and detect a tumor, in most cases everything is curable, or it is possible to extend life to several years or decades.

But many people notice the disease in the later stages.

There are reviews on the Internet about the victory of stage 3 stomach cancer, but there are also suggestions that the diagnosis was simply incorrect.

“Among the most famous cases of recovery of cancer patients is the recovery of cyclist Lance Armstrong. In 1996, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer with multiple metastases. Two years later, doctors concluded that the cyclist was absolutely healthy. After this, the athlete returned to the big sport and won 7 Tour de France titles.

In the 70s, a professor at the Moscow University of Oncology came to Kazakhstan for a consultation. At the appointment, he discovered that one of the patients had an inoperable form of malignant neoplasm of the larynx. The specialist prescribed symptomatic conservative treatment without notifying the guy of the diagnosis. Five years later, the same young man came to the professor with gratitude; the cancer had completely disappeared.

Science has described a cure for cancer in a woman with multiple lesions of internal organs. During the first operation, the oncologist, having opened the abdominal cavity, was unable to remove the tumors. Five years later, in this patient, who came in for acute appendicitis, surgeons stated the complete absence of malignant lesions.”

Perhaps the cases described above are the same 1%... I recently read an interview with a Moscow professor, where he said that someone burns out before our eyes with early diagnosis, a successful operation, good immunity, it is not clear why - they simply burn out. And there are cases when the second and third stages were operated on very successfully and people lived for more than 5 years. And there was a case when a woman was already dying, stage 4 of intestinal cancer, an operation was performed - and she has been living for more than 2 years.

Of course, everyone who has fallen ill with this terrible illness wants to believe in healing, and perhaps it will one day be available to us in reality, and not just in promising Internet scams, interviews with doctors, stories of believers... But for now, 99% of my friends who Once they made such a diagnosis, as well as relatives and friends of my friends - they died, some within a year, and others burned out in a couple of months... Neither radiation, nor medications, nor operations helped.

Yes, and famous, rich people, who were in everyone's sight, who died of cancer, had the greatest opportunities for curing cancer, and access to foreign clinics, but this did not save them. But part of the population does not despair: they believe that soda and pomegranate decoction help better than abroad.

Miracle words: prayer for miraculous healing from stage 4 cancer in full description from all the sources we found.

The material published below is a story about life with a fatal disease. About living a full and transformed life by faith. Feeling the breath of death behind his back, a person overestimates a lot and thinks about a lot. This is how they come to faith. And they live in faith - happily ever after, even with oncology. This is always a purely individual experience, very personal experiences and discoveries. But that’s what makes them interesting. And that is precisely why - paradoxically - an example and edification for us.

Thirteen years ago I should have died. The diagnosis left no hope: angioblastic lymphoma, stage IV blood cancer. Then there were eight difficult courses of chemotherapy, fourteen courses of radiation, three operations and twelve years of hormonal therapy.

As a person who has gone through almost all stages of cancer treatment, I can testify that these circles are truly hellish. Moreover, for every person the initial stages are equally terrible. At first, when incomprehensible symptoms appear (in my case these were numerous swollen lymph nodes), a rare person admits the possibility of cancer - “hope dies last.” Maybe there was an error in the analysis? Maybe the tests were mixed up? But now the tests have been completed, the diagnosis has been made, and with a sinking heart the person asks the doctor: “What do I have, doctor?” Times have changed now; doctors no longer have the right to hide the diagnosis from the patient. And then comes the sentence, terrible in its inevitability: “You have cancer.”

Hearing this, the person goes into shock. "Cancer? So this is a quick death! What about family, children? What about a company created through incredible efforts? Is this really the end? These thoughts no longer leave even for a minute, they drill into the brain constantly - hourly and every minute. Only a night's sleep brings oblivion, and upon awakening, when a person is still on the border of sleep and reality, every morning it seems: “Dream! It was just a nightmare!” But the remnants of the dream quickly disappear, and the terrible reality becomes unbearable again.

Then other thoughts begin to come: “Why do I have cancer? Why me?"

Doctors suggested (and this is a widespread opinion) that serious illnesses are a consequence of poor ecology: tap water is unfit for drinking, most products in stores are unsuitable for consumption, and the air in large cities becomes impossible to breathe.

Then I remembered that I spent many years at airfields - civilian and military, where locators with strong high-frequency radiation worked nearby, which, as we know, has a very negative effect on health. But to the question: “Why me?” – there was no answer.

It became obvious that it was pointless to look for an answer in the material sphere. I remembered that a person consists not only of a bodily shell - in addition to the body, he has a soul. Further - more: it turns out that diseases of the body can be caused by damage to the soul.

It was the damage to the soul that led me to a fatal illness - this was a comprehensive answer to the questions that tormented me. I began to understand that my incurable, fatal illness was God’s punishment for the sins I had committed. Of course, another question arose: “Do all sinners get seriously ill?” It took time and spiritual effort to understand: of course not. But this does not prove anything and does not disprove anything: the ways of the Lord are inscrutable, and He sends to everyone what he deserves. Only for some - even during earthly life. However, many die without finding an answer to this question.

A year later there was a relapse, which again brought me back to the awareness of the approaching end. But there was an almost complete reconciliation with the terrible reality: the Lord sent me a wonderful confessor - an Orthodox monk, well-read, erudite, with two higher educations: the radiophysics department of the university and the theological academy. It was from his confessor - a real elder, the abbot of the monastery - that I heard the words that put everything in its place: “The illness was given to you not to cause death, but to strengthen your faith!”

That's how! It turns out that illness is not only retribution for sins, as is commonly believed.

So, I already knew the way out: the main thing for me was strengthening my faith. I began to read patristic books, go to church regularly and take communion. In addition to understanding the causes of the disease, much more has been revealed. Watching the world around me, I suddenly realized: what happiness it is to simply live and appreciate every moment of life. It is especially joyful to observe nature. Observe and be immensely surprised, amazed, for example, at the whiteness of flowers - such a whiteness that no artist, even the most brilliant, can create.

Be amazed by the constant, annually repeated picture: in the fall, plants and trees die - and are resurrected, reborn in the spring. And this is not just a revival by the appearance of leaves, but the flowering and ripening of wonderful, tasty fruits on fruit trees, appearing, it seems, from nowhere.

Even the weeds in the garden beds testify to the miracle of God's presence on Earth. Why, for example, do cultivated plants require enormous effort to grow them, while weeds grow and multiply incredibly, even despite regular control of them? I asked this question to professional biologists. Long explanations followed: cultivated plants have undergone a very long selection and selection and supposedly therefore require increased attention and care. But you must admit that this can hardly be considered an exhaustive answer: why must selection necessarily be accompanied by weak viability?

But the real answer is very simple, and I found it on the first pages of the Bible. This is the parting word with which the Lord expelled sinners Adam and Eve from paradise: “He said to the woman: I will multiply your sorrow in your pregnancy; you will give birth to children in illness... And he said to Adam: ... cursed is the earth for your sake; you will eat from it in sorrow all the days of your life; She will bring forth thorns and thistles for you...” (Genesis 3: 16-18). “Thorns and thistles” are precisely those weeds that, despite the efforts of all agricultural sciences - agrochemistry, agricultural technology and others - humanity was powerless to completely defeat, as well as to completely anesthetize childbirth.

For a believer, no proof of the existence of God is needed - He is always next to him. But this still needed to be achieved, but for now my engineering mind required scientific evidence. To my surprise, there were plenty of them...

On the probability of the impossible

It turns out that if you change the distance between the Sun and the Earth by only 2%, the thermal equilibrium on Earth will be disrupted and all life on it will die. The temperature difference on Earth is only 100 degrees Celsius (from –50 to +50), while in the Universe this difference is simply unimaginable – from –273 degrees Celsius to millions! In the same way, atmospheric pressure on Earth remains within a negligibly small range.

It is on Earth that the atmosphere consists of a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen that is most comfortable for breathing for people and animals. And on the rest of the known planets, the atmosphere (if it exists at all) consists of gases that are destructive to humans. And why is it only on Earth that hydrogen oxide, so necessary for human life - well known to everyone as water - exists in abundance?

More than 200 parameters are known that are necessary to support life on our planet. And all these parameters must be present at all times. If even one of them is violated, all life on Earth will die. For example, if there were not a massive planet Jupiter near the Earth, which attracts asteroids, most of them would fall to the Earth with all the terrifying consequences.

To the questions: “Who adjusted the range of temperature and pressure on Earth with such precision; Why exactly on Earth are there favorable conditions for life?” – the materialist is unable to answer.

Until now, doctors do not know why the human heart beats. The heart is usually compared to a pump that pumps blood throughout the body. But any pump can only work if a certain type of energy is supplied to it, so pumps can be, for example, electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic. But the heart works without receiving any energy from the outside, on its own, which is absolutely contrary to the known laws of physics.

Why does a rain cloud, carrying tens and even thousands of tons of water, stay in the air?

And there are a great many such questions. But people, as a rule, do not wonder about them. And having asked himself, he certainly comes to the conclusion: it is much easier to believe that Someone created a set of these optimal conditions for human existence on Earth than to believe that they were created on their own, as a result of some incomprehensible process of self-improvement.

It is also difficult to believe in Darwin’s notorious theory of evolution, enthusiastically accepted by all “progressive humanity” in the second half of the 19th century. Over the 150 years of its existence, scientists around the world have not been able to find confirmation of this theory: they have not been able to find a single (!) skull or skeleton of great apes at different stages of evolution, the so-called “transitional link”. But there must be millions of them!

Darwin's theory is also refuted by a well-known physical law - the second law of thermodynamics. Its essence lies in the fact that in any closed system the level of entropy continuously increases. Entropy is a measure of destruction, a measure of chaos. In other words, if any closed system is not regulated from the outside, then it will only strive for destruction.

So it is with life on Earth: if the ideal system necessary to ensure human existence had not been created, it itself could not have appeared. Someone wise said: the probability of self-creation of living organisms and their development from the simplest forms to the highest - in the form of a person - is approximately the same as the self-assembly of an airplane from pieces of iron in a landfill as a result of a typhoon passing over it. Obviously, the probability of such an event is not just zero, it is negative.

Unfortunately, only a person who has looked into the Abyss and found himself on the brink of death is capable of thinking about this, looking, being surprised and enjoying even the smallest manifestations of life. Moreover, what is scary is not so much and not only she herself, but the ephemerality, the illusory nature of the border that separates this human life from the Abyss.

After illness: a new challenge

With reverence and incredible gratitude, I knelt in the monastery, praying, confessing and receiving communion almost every week. Gradually an understanding came of why and how exactly a person should live. It turned out that the Abyss is not at all a bottomless, terrible abyss that promises inevitable death. This is only a transition to another - eternal life. And the real Abyss is the sinful life that I led before my illness.

Of course, strengthening my faith did not add any holiness to me - as I sinned, I continued to sin, I couldn’t even quit smoking: they say, when you take off your head, you don’t cry over your hair. This is how I answered the puzzled questions of my friends. But something else appeared that was not there before - the desire not to do bad things, and if I did them, then to apologize and repent. There was some kind of inner need to help people - in any way you can.

The relapses of the fatal disease subsided, but two years later a new test came - severe pain in the legs appeared: it turns out that the hormones prescribed to me “ate” my hip joints. I found out that in such cases, operations are performed to replace joints with artificial ones, and again hope dawned. Alas, it quickly disappeared: surgeons in our city completely refused to perform such an operation and explained why: a recurrence of oncology and “early instability” of the joint were possible, simply put, cracking of the femur at the junction with the metal artificial joint due to osteoporosis. And then - complete immobility, bedsores and a quick and final outcome.

The surgeon who consulted me limited himself to prescribing me... Canadian crutches. Impressions and news remained accessible only from the “box”. The surrounding space has shrunk to the size of an apartment, nature - to the size of a summer cottage.

The unnoticed but great joys of life have become inaccessible. It became impossible to enjoy the past rain, walk through puddles, hear the creaking of freshly fallen snow underfoot, or enjoy the warmth of the sun. No swimming in the river, no sunbathing, no going mushroom picking or fishing.

But that was not all: the pain in the hip joints intensified to the point of impossibility. Without pain it was impossible not only to walk, but also to sit and even lie down. The pain in my legs especially tormented me at night - I wanted to howl at the top of my lungs, throw myself at the wall and scratch it until my nails were pulled out, I wanted to hit my head against the wall with all my might - just so that this terrible, body-debilitating and soul-exhausting persistent pain would end...

Of course, there were injections of strong painkillers, the same ones that seasoned officers shoot themselves because of the impossibility of obtaining them. Every evening I get an injection, I can’t sleep without it - and so on for almost ten years. But the painkiller injections didn’t help for long, just two or three hours, no more. Then hell again - until the morning, when the body, exhausted by pain, simply “passed out”: sleep was more like a loss of consciousness than a rest for the body.

At times there was no longer any strength left to endure the pain - my consciousness had little control over what was happening. There were times when I was ready to put my head in the belt loop attached to the sofa to make it easier to turn from side to side, just so that the pain would disappear. Moreover, I was persistently persuaded to do this, almost all night long, by some “black” man, invisible to the eye, but whose presence I felt nearby, on the edge of the bed, almost physically.

Suddenly, completely unexpectedly, as if a miracle happened by itself: the night pain disappeared, it became possible to do without tedious nightly injections.

But did this miracle happen by itself, or was it an accident? I spent long sleepless nights thinking about this until my thoughts formed into certain conclusions...

My hard-won conviction

I am sure that this happened due to my conversion to faith, but not only. I knew that my familiar priests were praying for me in Nizhny Novgorod. I knew that my believing friends and my doctor were praying for me in Moscow. I knew that my relatives were praying for me. He knew and believed. I pray too - every morning, every evening. Of course, they will object to me: many of the believers, having fallen ill with cancer or other serious illness, soon die, despite prayers. And this really happens, but a believer has nothing to be surprised at: “the ways of the Lord are mysterious.”

Faith helped me understand something else: what exactly should be the attitude towards death. What was imposed on us from the West has long been implanted in us and has already become firmly rooted: the main value is supposedly human life. This statement forms the basis of modern medicine, including ours - Russian. It is based on a materialistic idea: when a person dies, he supposedly disappears without a trace. Often the loss of a loved one becomes a real disaster for his family and friends.

But a believer knows: the main value is not the body, but the soul of a person. When dying, a person does not disappear, but passes into another quality - lives in another life. And although the death of a person is the greatest misfortune, it no longer becomes a universal catastrophe for a believer and his loved ones. After all, the same fate will befall them sooner or later, and the fact that they will live another 5, 10, 20 years is not of particular value, although it sounds quite harsh.

Considering life to be the main value, wanting to be cured at any cost, some resort to terrible things: they inject stem cells taken from the flesh of babies killed in the womb of the mother, turn to sorcerers and other psychics, thereby further aggravating the illness of the soul and, naturally, the body. Ask any doctor what are the mortality statistics among, for example, cancer patients “treated” by witch doctors and “traditional healers”?

Miracle healings are not uncommon. When talking about such cases, journalists often resort to pathetic expressions like: “The love of loved ones (wife, mother, children) saved so-and-so from death.” For all their expressiveness, such statements are nothing more than beautiful phrases, or rather, empty talk. Love itself cannot save anyone. Only love for God can save, and it can only become effective through prayer - this is another hard-won conviction of mine.

It may seem strange to many, but a true believer rejoices in his illness, seeing in it a means of saving his soul. And an Orthodox Christian rejoices even more over cancer. The fact is that the most terrible thing for an Orthodox believer is death without repentance and Holy Communion. Cancer is not a disease from which people die overnight: this disease does not require an ambulance with flashing lights and sirens, unlike, for example, cardiovascular diseases.

Reflecting on my life, I came to a paradoxical conclusion: during my illness, I gained more than in the previous ten years of doing business - essentially a crazy pursuit of material wealth. Over the past thirteen years of illness, I have more or less provided housing for my children, built a house with a bathhouse, and enjoy communicating with two wonderful grandchildren. And also... he wrote several books on historical topics, memoirs, and a genealogical book. And I am writing these notes in the hope that they will help someone survive the most terrible moments associated with a serious illness.

And more and more often it seems to me that the Lord sent me illness and delayed my end precisely so that I could do exactly what I did during my illness. Or maybe the main thing in life was coming to faith? After all, while doing business, missing days at work, not seeing my children for weeks, I did not think about the hidden, spiritual side of life. All the time I was consumed by the pursuit of material wealth: income in a company, a new apartment, a new car, a dacha, etc. - what a soul-saver!

Now I can confidently say that serious illnesses, including cancer, are not so terrible, but only for a person who firmly believes in God.

Firstly, the means of modern medicine make it possible to fight them quite successfully, especially at the initial stage of the disease, and faith helps to find the strength necessary for difficult treatment. Moreover, most oncologists now are believers.

Secondly, illnesses give a believer a rare opportunity to learn real, and not imaginary, life values ​​that will become the adornment of life.

Thirdly, the death of a believer ceases to be perceived as a universal catastrophe. Believing relatives and friends understand that this is a departure to another world, much more perfect and joyful than ours, and with the help of their prayers they can make this transition less painful.

So do not despair, my fellow sufferers (I don’t want to write “unfortunately”)! Remember: everything that is done by the Lord is done not to harm, but for the benefit of man, and our task is simply to realize this in time! Health and happiness to you!

But I still quit smoking – exactly two years ago. I smoked for 36 years and, like all smokers, I tried to quit - repeatedly and unsuccessfully. And yet I did it! I won’t describe how difficult it was: smokers already know this, but non-smokers won’t understand. And I quit smoking not because it is harmful to my health - it cannot be improved. This happened after I read on the Pravoslavie.ru website an article by Father Job (Gumerov) on this topic, which revealed to me all the harmfulness, all the sinfulness of this vile habit.

I imagined myself standing in front of the Supreme Court in a terrible state - completely reeking of smoke, this “satanic potion.” I imagined how they would ask me: “Why did you smoke, because you knew that it was a great sin?”

Hello friends! Here I am again with you! Welcome to the long-awaited spring!

Yes, it really shook me up. I see that my last post about the project “I Smile at Life” was on September 25 last year!

The long, cold winter is over. A whole six months have passed! A lot has changed and happened during this time, and I will definitely tell you where I “disappeared” for so much time in my upcoming publications, but for now I want to introduce you to Olga, a reader of my blog. I immediately noticed her amazing comments.

By the way, despite the fact that I did not write on the blog, I constantly followed your comments and tried to answer your letters as much as possible :) Thank you for them!

So, I asked Olga for permission to post her comments as a separate post, which I still do with pleasure.

Some advice from Olga that I simply cannot disagree with.

How to help yourself heal from cancer?

To be honest, I am very much against any chemistry... In my opinion, when an illness comes, you should not run to the doctors, but first to your loved one! Perhaps someone will find my advice useful (I worked with cancer patients for some time):

1. If you have been told that you have cancer, you should definitely go into privacy. Yes, drop everything and go somewhere where you will be completely alone: ​​towards a house in nature without people, a mobile phone, a TV and the Internet.

While you are completely alone, put your thoughts and feelings in order.

Everything is in your hands - and after this basic step you can make a choice which path at the stone you should take. Light and health to everyone!

Here are some wonderful tips Olga wrote for us. By the way, it is possible that Olga and I will in the very near future create a kind of duet to work with those who need support during cancer treatment.

Olga has 2 higher educations: one in psychology and the second in advertising and marketing. At one period of her life, she studied Shchennikov’s “Healing Abstinence” method. I completed the entire course myself. And then she led groups with people with various types of diseases. Among them were people suffering from cancer.

That's all my news for today. I hope you liked Olga's advice.

What are you doing for your healing from illnesses? How do you help your body heal? Please write below in the comments.

See you in the next publications!

Hello! It's very nice to communicate with you. About Me. I am 67 years old. Oncology. Kidney cancer with metastases to the lungs. After the operation in 2009, she remained working. I worked for another 2 years, because... I really love school, children and the subject, but I have heart problems. I had to leave. I got used to the new life. Tests and CT scans were all clear. In September-October I experienced very severe stress, and in December they discovered multiple metastases in the lungs. I've been fighting ever since. By the way, the body itself asked for privacy. I began to communicate less with people and reconsidered my life. I was always with God. Not a fan, but in my heart and thoughts with God. I don’t watch TV, it’s not interesting. I read a lot. I don't want to talk on the phone. Just idle talk. There is no despair, no fear of death. I love my family very much. I almost gave up meat, complete indifference. I eat occasionally. I try to eat plant-based anti-cancer foods and dairy. I love to do handicrafts. I don’t knit anything for myself, because... I don’t go to many places. But I give knitted things to my friends as gifts. I love animals, there’s always someone at home, not by breed, but by whom I could help. It’s a pity that there are few options. I am treated with medication and herbs. We didn’t do any chemotherapy or radiation, only immunotherapy. As of today, the process is stabilizing. I’m holding on. I’m enjoying life. And I begged for this diagnosis myself. Several years ago, for many years, I was at such a dead end from life’s circumstances that I couldn’t handle it, I wanted to die quickly. Now I ask God for forgiveness for this sin. Everything has changed in life, and I want to live some more. With retirement and leaving work, it became more difficult financially, but there was so much time to live for myself and my loved ones. Thank you for listening.

Svetlana Yuryevna, thank you for your sincere and warm comment. I think that your story is another example to everyone that if you get sick, then healing from illness you need to completely reconsider your life, because illness is always a sign from God, from the Universe. Not a punishment, but a sign that something needs to be changed. I wish you health, harmony and life balance for many years to come, Svetlana Yuryevna.

Good afternoon, Svetlana Yurievna! Thank you for your story about yourself, about how you live and fight. I am 44 years old, 3 children, the youngest is only 10 years old. I have been suffering from colon cancer for 2 years. They tried everything, 2 surgeries, 25 courses of chemotherapy, radiotherapy. Radiotherapy provoked progression with metastases to the lungs. Now they have prescribed chemotherapy again, they did it a week ago, it’s very bad, the doctors insist on continuing, but I can’t anymore, just the thought makes everything shake: both body and soul. You wrote about herbal medicine and immunology, how to find an alternative method of treatment, please advise. Thank you very much

Lyudmila has long noticed that people often die not from cancer, but from chemotherapy; if it does not suit everyone, then why continue it. And why don’t doctors help, there are no prescriptions to support the heart and brain. She prescribed MEXIDOL, GLIATILIN ASPIRIN, half or quarter 3 times (crush well and wash down). And also, read about kvass according to Bolotov! I made it in the spring and drank it, now I drink it again.

ASPIRIN - 3 TIMES A DAY, GLIATILIN - 3 TIMES A DAY BEFORE MEALS, MEXIDOL 3 TIMES A DAY REGARDLESS OF FOOD.

I'M IN KRASNODAR - 8 962 879 07 24

Good afternoon I know one person who developed a stomach ulcer after fasting; now he eats only liquids and can barely move his legs; he has no strength. I am still a supporter of the fact that protein foods should be present. When giving advice, let's not forget the words of the greatest doctor of mankind: “DO NO HARM.” It is MANDATORY to run to the doctors if a person at an early stage, following your advice while starving, goes into isolation, the situation may worsen and his children may soon become orphans. You need to undergo treatment, chemotherapy and radiation, and what your treating oncologist prescribes to you, you need to do. But, at the same time, observe a culture of nutrition, avoid stress, pray, read books on self-education, and strive to get rid of grievances, suspiciousness, phobias, etc. And remember “everyone has their own tumor,” which may have helped one. to put it mildly, will not be useful to anyone else.

HELLO, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, YOU WILL LISTEN TO ADVICE, BUT THE DECISION IS ONLY YOURS...

I completely agree with you. I wrote a comment, but it disappeared. So I’ll repeat it briefly. I read in a doctor’s book that if you have severe pain that you have not experienced before, you need to immediately seek medical help, perhaps this will save your life. You can speculate about what happened and why this pain occurred, but on the way to the hospital, the author writes. In this case, you can put your thoughts and feelings in order, as well as “establish the rhythm of loneliness” during the treatment process. Cancer cells do not care whether you are positive or not, or what is happening in your soul. They continue to divide and multiply uncontrollably, and without treatment they pose a threat to life. Nobody is delighted with chemotherapy, but it is prescribed to prevent metastases. From my experience (I am a nurse) I know that 90% of patients want to live. It is imperative to change your diet and lifestyle.

Olga, your comments ended up in the spam folder, I apologize. Your comments are priceless, Olga Thank you for them! I’m surrounded by Olga’s assistants. That’s how lucky I am with my readers! What would I do without you!

Yana, I agree with your comment. Thank you for making this important addition. You definitely need to see a doctor immediately, and after that, work with your lifestyle, etc.

I think that Olga herself will very soon join our comments. But I want to say that, most likely, when Olga wrote that “I... am against any chemistry... In my opinion, when an illness comes, you should not run to the doctors, but first to your loved one!“, she did not mean that she was against chemotherapy or medical treatment of cancer, but that a person should not place responsibility for his illness on doctors and medicine, but should turn first of all to himself. Listened to my body. I tried to understand my mistakes. Change the previous lifestyle that led to the disease, etc.

Thanks again, Yana!

Good afternoon. Svetlana, thank you for the site, for the opportunity to speak out, share your experience, but. Regarding Olga’s recommendations... this is only her experience, her decision, it is not relevant for everyone and, moreover, it is not scientific and has not been proven by anyone, and accordingly it needs to be posted with appropriate comments so that it does not harm other people. Oncology is not a place for psychological experiments, all tumors are different and very aggressive, every day of not seeking medical examination is worth its weight in gold. Please take this into account and comment on this not as an alternative, but as a complementary practice to the main treatment. No need for the Middle Ages! Thank you and the last thing I would like to do is offend Olga and you, Svetlana.

Olga, thank you very much for your comment. You know, when I published this post, I completely forgot about that part of the “impressionable” population that believes in “medieval” methods of healing cancer and, instead of going to the doctor, as soon as they find something suspicious, they start reading all sorts of books, go to healers or drink various dietary supplements and tinctures Thank you for making this important addition!

Of course, this article is intended for those who are already undergoing medical treatment for cancer, and IN ADDITION to it, are working with psychosomatics, namely, reviewing their previous lifestyle and diet, putting things in order in their heads, eliminating stressful situations from life, etc. Olga writes about all this. thanks again

Svetlana! I’m very glad that you showed up on the site, it was alarming that you disappeared for a long time.

As for Olga’s advice, you can’t agree with all of it. I work with patients every day (including those with cancer), and I know that 90% of them want to live. We had patients who, due to their serious condition, were offered to switch to hospice, but they refused, and after treatment they feel stable. Persistence, unwillingness to give up and willpower can work wonders.

The advice about privacy is also very dubious. An oncological diagnosis is a shock and a huge psychological trauma for a person. At this moment he needs the support of loved ones and... yes! run to the doctors. Once upon a time, I read in a doctor’s book that if you have severe pain that you have not experienced before, you should immediately seek medical help, perhaps this will save your life.

It is better to speculate on what happened and why the pain occurred on the way to the hospital, the author writes. In the case of cancer, you can put your thoughts and feelings in order, as well as “establish the rhythm of loneliness” during treatment. Cancer cells do not know whether you are positive or not, and what is going on in your soul. They continue to do their job, growing and dividing uncontrollably, and without treatment they are life-threatening.

As for chemistry... Not only Olga, but also the doctors themselves are against chemistry. But chemistry is prescribed not for the treatment of tumors, but for the prevention of metastases. That’s why they prescribe it - to increase the chances of recovery.

Scientists are now working on a new generation of drugs: immunotherapy. The drugs are incredibly expensive and are at the stage of clinical trials. But when they hit the market and become available, there may be no need for chemotherapy.

Yes, Olga, I was knocked out of life for a long time. I’m gradually returning. In the next publication I will try to analyze it. Thank you for your invaluable comments. Honestly, you could write a book out of them!

Of course, no one is immune from this disease. In no case does it mean that if you get cancer, then you yourself are to blame, you yourself are bad. No! There are millions of reasons why you can get cancer, including those that, as you rightly noted, we can hardly influence. It's genetics, environment, etc. Another thing is how a person chooses to relate to his illness and work with it, work with his body and spirit in order to heal.

Olga thank you again for all the invaluable information that you share with us. Low bow to you for your work!

Olga, wonderful comment, having gone through all the stages of the disease, I completely agree with you on everything. It’s very scary to be left alone after receiving the diagnosis. Svetlana, special thanks to you for the site, it is also excellent support in the most difficult moments and on the path to recovery. For example, once upon a time, when I first learned about the diagnosis, it became much easier because my loved ones gathered around me, began to look for different clinics, methods of treatment, I saw how they wanted me to recover, that they believed in the possibility of recovery, that they were ready for anything for the sake of my salvation, it helped to gather strength for the fight, to organize the chaos in my head. And then - prayers, books, techniques... strength appears on them only after realizing and accepting your diagnosis, and at the initial stage the support of loved ones is extremely important. Cancerophobia is so strong in our society... I know cases where people committed suicide after learning about the diagnosis and being left alone. But going through the path of healing is even interesting, for example, I began to look at my life so differently, to relate to everything so differently, I learned a lot of interesting people, books, films, that I cannot call this period of my life bad, he was difficult, but not bad.

After learning the diagnosis, I didn’t believe it until the very end. I hoped that the operation would solve everything, but it didn’t. I have already completed four courses of chemotherapy. When I first got to the oncology department, I thought I was going to go crazy. But then, talking to the patients, I realized that everyone believed and was fighting.

The first course of chemotherapy passed without any special consequences, but the hair loss was terribly debilitating. Now I'm used to it. But I still don’t believe that anything happened.

But two more courses of chemotherapy are terrible. I want to give up everything and start treatment myself. By force of will I force myself to hold on. I don’t want to communicate, but work forces me to.

Hello! How to understand what needs to be changed in life when it seems that everything was fine?

How to understand what needs to be changed in life when it seems like everything was fine?ַַ

everything was really good. But first, one course of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and now again, secondary lesions... what to do. I take strength, I don’t know where my son is growing, I believe only in the best. Girls! Say something. I BELIEVE and HOPE! I'm going to see my Doctor...

Everyone! Girls! You definitely have to fight, look for and try all the ways!

After the 3rd chemotherapy, I realized that it was impossible to continue this “treatment”, such “treatment” is irreversible for the body. After each chemotherapy, I went out and immediately drank TROMBOASS AND MEXIDOL, then at home I took gliatilin. Thromboass is rather weak, so I drank half an aspirin 2-3 times a day. To avoid a stroke, GLIATILIN, 1 capsule 3 times a day before meals, helps a lot. 3 TIMES A DAY. I did ALL this after every chemo, otherwise I wouldn’t have survived..... A year has passed. This spring I collected chmsotel and made kvass according to Bolotov. Read about this kvass on the Internet! Now I also made kvass according to Bolotov and drink it, starting with 1, then 3, then 5 sips. Cheerfulness, lightness, joy, lost weight (after all, hormones are used during chemotherapy - a person gets fatter.)

In general, celandine limits the growth and metastasis of these cells.

Alena, have you tried Bolotov kvass? Believe and act.

Dear Alena! I'm so sorry to hear that your cancer has returned. This means that the treatment was not effective. It seems that doctors prescribe Tachol when the prescribed treatments have not helped (but I’m not sure). Today I saw this saying on Facebook: “When people come to me and ask: “I don’t know what to do with cancer! Nothing helps!" I answer: “Have you tried nature?” Try using natural methods along with traditional treatment. Read about them on this site too. There is a lot of useful information in the book “Anti-Cancer”. All the best! Do not give up! Fight!

Try: "Transfer Factor" It improves immunity.

Thank you for such a wonderful site! Fortunately, I did not have to deal with oncology, but reading your articles is still interesting and pleasant. You help people, support them and set them in the right mood!
