The True Meaning of Alternative Medicine

" Cancer is a difficult disease, but it is not fatal .."

A physician once stated, "Cancer is a difficult disease, but it is not fatal. Patients have a good chance to recover." This statement sounds consolatory but basing on our recent research data, it can very well be true. The prestigious Japanese physician, Dr Fukumi Morishige, M.D.,Phd., currently involved in the research of Ganoderma's role in cancer control, is a researcher at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science & Medicine - an American institute that had been awarded the most Nobel prizes. He also occupies an important role in Europe's medical fields as well, and is the only Japanese authority employed by the international cancer group. The following is his speech and case reports on . "I have been a surgeon for 37 years and have performed numerous operations. I have a keen interest in surgical operation especially when I was young but gradually questions began to appear. I always feel that the ideal would be to induce the natural immunity power within oneself. Being a surgeon, I had countless occasions to encounter cancer cases; however, the key to cancer controls is in its early detection, which is easier said than done. About one in a hundred would be considered a good percentage. Nowadays, regular physical check-ups is the trend and this is good practice, but we have to realize that one cannot let our guards down just because cancer was not detected at the time of check-ups. People often suspect the MD of misdiagnosing when cancer was detected at a later date. This notion is incorrect as there are many undiscovered cases even with monthly check-ups. For example, in the case of penetrance type stomach cancer, it is one of the most difficult to detect and these account for about 25% of the cases, therefore, prevention is equally important. It is better to employ preventive measures in the case of cancer but there are no set methods. One can always rely on dietary control, but here again it is not a prescribed regiment. The best method at the present is Ganoderma.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: MIMULUS REMEDY - MRS. KALRA'S CASE

Mrs. Kalra complained of terrible headache, as she had not been able to sleep for the last 4 nights. Her daughter’s marriage had been fixed a month hence. There was so much to do and so little time left. She was terribly afraid. MIMULUS (for fear) and HORN BEAM (for feeling of inadequacy before the event) were given T.D.S for 1 week which restored her to normal condition. A couple of days before the marriage Mrs. Kalra sent word that she was suffering from terrible headache. She had not had a wink of sleep last night. The thought of the marriage party arriving at her door in the next 24 hours had haunted her all the time. She was nervous and terribly afraid. How could the last finishing touches for the big event be given when a horde of guests were all around the house already. A combination of MIMULUS (for nervousness), HORN BEAM (for feeling of inadequacy prior to effort) and WHITE CHESTNUT (for persistent idea haunting in mind) was prescribed to be taken every two hours, 6 doses in a day. Mrs. Kalra was glad to confirm that all marriage ceremonies concluded to her utter satisfaction. *143\308\8*

A SELECTION OF MEDICINAL HERBS - TREATING CANCER WITH PETAFORCE (INTRODUCTION)

Petasites in a high concentration has been given to cancer patients for some years now and the good results achieved have induced researchers to continue their tests. It is not impossible that desperate cancer patients who face an uncertain future will eventually be helped by means of Petasites, and this possibility gives us reassurance and hope. Much store has been placed on certain potential cancer remedies that have been publicised widely in the press, causing a sensation, but almost as suddenly as they appeared so they disappeared. However, observations relating to the use of Petasites extracts have consistently shown for decades that the plant has a certain influence on the general development of cancer. Of course, only time will tell how far this plant can help to solve the problem of cancer. *701/28/1*

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - 2

In contrast, when you have to walk on surfaced pavements and roads, a heel of 2—2Óãñò (about 1 inch) is just right. This height will provide the position for the foot that tends to tire the legs and body the least. Additionally, an arch support may be the answer for feet that ache or tire easily. There is usually no need for special insoles because there are carefully made shoes with a built-in support on the market. If you stop to think that the feet have to carry your whole body weight day after day, you will agree that they most certainly deserve comfortable, well-constructed shoes in addition to daily attention. All this is surely part of a proper health programme. *657/28/1*

BEAUTIFUL HAIR - HAIR COLOUR (INTRODUCTION)

The colour of the hair is manufactured near the hair roots, where an inner layer of cells contains pigments of various colours. That is why there are so many shades of hair, from blond to red or black. Hair colour is part of an individual’s genetic make-up. True, the hairdresser can use chemicals to change your natural shade to one that is completely different. Nevertheless, the original colour will return at the roots as the hair continues to grow. So, if your hair is dyed or bleached and you do not wish it to be known, you will have to see your hairdresser regularly for a touch-up. It has become the fashion to change one’s hair colour according to whim, but this may not always be appreciated by the passport control at international borders, for example, unless you have the entry ‘hair colour’ altered accordingly. Irrespective of the modern extremes and changes, the natural variety of hair colours and characteristics is just as lovely as the charming variety of shape and colour seen in butterflies, birds, fish and other marine creatures, not forgetting the beauty of flowers. *613/28/1*

SEVEN BASIC RULES FOR THE PREVENTION OF CANCER - RULE FOUR

No one but a person who cannot walk can imagine life without the use of his legs. The importance of our legs only begins to dawn on us when we see someone who cannot use them. And yet, time and again we commit the error of giving in to convenience; we take the car instead of walking. The way things are going it appears that before too long many people will use their feet and legs only to operate the accelerator! But this neglect is absolutely wrong; it robs the body of an essential source of strength. Walking and hiking help us to breathe deeply, so that we regularly inhale sufficient oxygen to keep the cells healthy and elastic. Cancer cells lack oxygen, and since lack of oxygen is one of the main causes leading to cell degeneration, we must never neglect the regular intake of oxygen. Engage regularly in walking and hiking! *569/28/1*
