5 Ways Your Healer Could Harm You Without Ever Meaning To

’[Doctors] are so afraid of offering false hope that we forget how powerful hope is as medicine. How can there such a thing as “false hope?” In my research on those who had spontaneous remissions from seemingly “incurable” illnesses, they all had hope – against all odds – and then miracles happened.” ~L Rankin

cartoon_doctorPatientMy mother had a sore neck, probably from Pilates class, she figured. So Mom went to her doctor, who ordered an X-ray. Upon reviewing the X-ray, her doctor ordered a CT scan for a week later. My mother asked her doctor why he was ordering more tests. Did he see evidence of osteoporosis? Arthritis? A slipped disc?

Without even making eye contact with her, Mom’s doctor said, “Could be metastatic cancer.” Then he promptly left the room.

Let me explain what was happening in my mother’s nervous system in that moment when my mother’s doctor said the words “metastatic cancer” without offering any comfort.

Mom was married to my father, a radiologist who read X-rays for a living, so Mom’s thinking rational forebrain knew that if the radiologist saw anything even mildly suspicious, he might order follow up testing and it wasn’t necessarily the end of the world.

But Mom’s rational forebrain was not in charge in the moment when her doctor said the words “metastatic cancer”. Instead, the amygdala in Mom’s primal brain flashed back to my father, who had died of metastatic cancer only a few years earlier. All her amygdala heard was, “Metastatic Cancer! A Certain Death Sentence!

When Mom’s amygdala heard the word “cancer”, her amygdala automatically signaled “danger” and the red alert fired off, flipping on Mom’s “fight-or-flight” stress response. Mom’s hypothalamus then released hormones that communicated with her pituitary gland, which communicated with her adrenal gland, and then BOOM! Her body was instantly filled with high levels of stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine. Her whole body was now in what Walter Cannon at Harvard called the “stress response”. It was ready to outrun the threat, even though in reality, there was no threat to outrun. The only thing Mom could do was wait a week until her CT scan was scheduled.

You may not realize how much power your healer has to harm your health. Consider this:

1. When you’re scared by what your healer says, your self-repair mechanisms flip off.

Morty Lefkoe ~ My Cancer Has Spread To My Liver; Even That Has No Meaning

LefkoeInstitute April 8 2014

MortyLefkoeSince my post a couple of weeks ago describing how I wasn’t giving meaning to my colon cancer diagnosis, there have been several new developments.

I told you that I was scheduled for surgery to remove the cancer in my colon.  I wrote: “I also learned that if the cancer had not spread beyond the lining of the colon and if it was removed surgically, the problem would be totally solved.  If it had spread to other organs, then the prognosis could be serious.”  (See my earlier post for more details: http://www.mortylefkoe.com/diagnosed-cancer/.)

Well, it appears that the radiologist, who initially read my CT scan and thought the spot on my liver was only a benign cyst, had made a mistake.  Another radiologist looked at my CT scan just before my surgery and told my oncologist, Jennifer Lucus, that he was pretty sure the mass on my liver was cancer.  Jen immediately cancelled the surgery and called me to let me know.  And when I was given the new diagnosis, I continued to have no reaction because I gave that diagnosis no more meaning than my earlier diagnoses.

A liver biopsy was next

To get more information on the “probable” liver cancer, Jen ordered a biopsy of the mass on my liver.  They are still doing additional pathology tests, but they are now certain that it is cancer.

Olive Can Cure Malaria? And WHO doesn’t know?

Zen-Haven April 10 2012 (Thanks, Anne S)

“The global fight against malaria is being threatened by growing resistance to powerful new drugs which have become one of the most important weapons in the battle.

Experts say that the medical effects of artemisinin-based compounds, being used to treat people around the Burma/Thailand border, are weakening. Where there were once apparently miraculous recoveries of children treated with artemisinin-combination therapy (ACT) now the treatments take longer to be effective”

WHO doesn’t really want you to know about these “remedies”.

Why?

Olive and Malaria

Olive leaf teas were the predecessors of today’s olive leaf extracts. They first became popular in the 1820′s as a treatment for malaria.

It is hard to imagine today just how great a plague malaria used to be all over the world. Anywhere there was standing water and a dense population of human beings, malaria-bearing mosquitoes quickly appeared.

Decades of eradication efforts have eliminated malaria from most of the industrialized world, but malaria was once a leading cause of death, especially among the young and healthy. Even today, however, approximately 225 million people in the developing world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, are infected with the disease.

The first treatment for malaria that actually worked was quinine, made from the bark of the cinchona tree, found in Bolivia and Peru and brought back to Europe in the 1600′s. The demand for quinine, however, outstripped demand, so the doctors of the time searched for other herbal remedies for the disease. In the 1820′s doctors begin to prescribe teas made of olive leaf, and a blend of strong olive leaf tea and wine known as Tinctura Olea Foliorum.

Olive leaf had the advantage of being locally available throughout much of Europe and the Middle East, and much less expensive than quinine. Later in the 1800′s, chemists isolated a compound they called oleuropein from the leaf.

The olive tree makes oleuropein as a natural insecticide. The oleuropein in olive leafs protects them against the lacey-winged olive fly that attacks the fruit and the black scale that attacks the bark.
