Multiple reasons to go for alternate therapy !!
- Since the day of identifying that I have Cancer, a lot of well wishers have advised drinking Wheat grass juice regularly, and multiple different other so called miracle juices.
- There is a ton of reference coming in for ayurvedic and homeopathic treatment. All promising cure and citing cases
- Even one particular Cancer Homeo Specialist in the city .. it is impossible to get his appointment! After days and days of multiple people trying also, no one picked up to give an appointment.
Point here is, when someone is scared, they will look for any thing to provide them some hope. And a little bit of hope, brings a bit of positivity to mind, and mind directs the body to fight out the causes of illness. Eventually, its our own body that has the process to heal, while the medication either focuses on the symptoms, or aids the immunity to fight better. But none of that would matter if not all the glands in body are working ok, which wont happen if the brain is not positive.
Now, even a tiny ulcer in my throat and mouth freaks me and the people around and the conventional allopathy of course suggests to go for endoscopy, ultra sound scanning, etc. And only deterministic way to find out between and ulcer or a tumor is again invasive - biopsy !
So, treatment it self eventually is more scary and painful. With enormous pressure, eventually I cave in to go see the "homeopathic doctor".
The doctor makes of course a very confident claim that, he is suggesting medicine that is going to address cancer, and immunity both.
While that is not most important, I want to mention a few sections of our conversation here !!
Me : " Before this incident, I do not remember catching even a seasonal flu for 15 yrs. But after the Chemo and radiation, I ve had runny nose, soar throat and cold at least 3 to 4 times"
Dr: "Don't be proud of that.. 15 yrs no cold or fever. That was an indication, your immunity is not reacting the right way. Your body should fight back when there is presence of anti bodies, but it did not for so long ".
Hmmm ..... I was always thinking, my body fights it off even before the temperature rises up !! Some twisted logic here, but to his credit, I saw one example during my severe infection of jaws, during Chemo, I did not get any fever. Although the infection was way too advanced....
Second thought from the conversation ---
Me: "Whenever I used to travel a couple of weeks internationally, flights, hotels, waiting in airports, tight meetings schedules etc, I used to get mouth blisters"
Dr: "That was your warning system. You should have gotten treated from that time. When the Tsunami happened in East coast, no animal died, if they were not tied up. But a lot of human being died. Animal's get simple warnings of nature and because they do not have EGO they just run to safe place or take some action. While human beings intellect and ego prevent them to act on the warning the nature or the body gives them"
Profound .. I say !
The alternate treatment has begun ... ! While I know, the right solution is not being disease free, but eventually being "unafraid".
