"Psychosomatic therapy (psyche = mind; soma = body) theorizes that there
are psychological and emotional factors involved in both the onset and
healing of cancer along with other diseases.

Probably the most recent studies on psychosomatic cancer therapy comes
from Germany. Over the past ten years, medical physician and cancer surgeon
Ryke-Geerd Hamer has examined 20,000 cancer patients with all varieties of
cancer.

Dr. Hamer wondered why cancer never seems to systematically spread
directly from one organ to the surrounding tissue. By way of example, he never
found cancer of the cervix AND cancer of the uterus in the same woman.
He also noticed that all his cancer patients seemed to have some thing in
common: there had been some sort of psycho emotional conflict prior to
the onset of their illness, a conflict that had in no way been totally
resolved.

Soon after having examined 20,000 cancer patients with all kinds of cancer,
Dr. Hamer has come up with some revolutionary info. X-rays taken
of the brain by Dr. Hamer showed in all instances a ‘dark shadow’ somewhere
within the brain. These dark spots could be in specifically the same location in the
brain for exactly the same kinds of cancer. There was also a 100% correlation
between the dark spot within the brain, the location of the cancer within the
body and also the specific sort of unresolved conflict.

On the basis of these findings, Dr. Hamer suggests that when we're in a
stressful conflict that's not resolved, the emotional reflex center in
the brain which corresponds to the experienced emotion (e.g : anger,
frustration, grief) will slowly break down. Each of these emotion
centers are connected to a certain organ. When a center breaks down, it
will start off sending wrong details to the organ it controls, resulting
inside the formation of deformed cells inside the tissues: cancer cells. He
also suggests that metastases are not exactly the same cancer spreading. It is
the result of new conflicts that may possibly nicely be brought on by the very
tension of having cancer or of invasive and painful or nauseating
therapies.

Dr. Hamer started such as psychotherapy as an important portion of the
healing process and found that when the specific conflict was resolved,
the cancer quickly stopped growing at a cellular level. The dark
spot within the brain started to disappear. X-rays of the brain now showed a
healing edema around the damaged emotional center as the brain tissue
began to repair the afflicted point. There was when once again typical
communication in between brain and body. A similar healing edema could also
be seen around the now inactive cancer tissue. Ultimately, the cancer
would turn out to be encapsulated, discharged or dealt with by the natural
action of the body. Diseased tissue would disappear and typical tissue
would then once again seem.

Recent study in Germany, Austria, France, the US and Denmark has
confirmed Dr. Hamer's findings; that emotional conflicts generate cancer,
and solving the conflicts in question stops the cancer growth.

Dr. Hamer believes that cancer men and women are unable to share their
thoughts, emotions, fears and joys with other men and women. He calls this
"psycho-emotional isolation". These folks tend to hide away sadness and
grief behind a brave face, appear ‘nice’ and stay away from open conflict. Some
aren't even conscious of their emotions, and are consequently not merely
isolated from other people, but also from themselves. If we live our
life in emotional isolation, our emotional centers is going to be under
constant stress. If we then add a major conflict which we are not able
to resolve, and which we might not even be quite conscious of, then the
emotional centers of our brain are in danger of breaking down.

We all encounter "emotional-isolation", much more or much less. We live in a
society where we need to interact with other folks in a way we have
been brought up to regard as considerate. You'll find limits to what we
really feel we can say and do. We typically even censor what we permit ourselves to
feel and really feel. Having to alter these lifestyle facts doesn't
necessarily mean that we must go out and hit our neighbor or cry in
front of our friends. It is a question of how we can alter our
emotional patterns with out making even higher conflicts for
ourselves.

It can take time to create even small modifications in our habits. The critical
factor is that we can commence healing from the moment we have understanding
of our emotional conflicts so we can start off acting, even if this action
is merely to start talking to somebody-a buddy, a partner or perhaps a
professional. In this way, we break the loneliness of our isolation, and
the pressure is taken off the emotional centers in our brain.

Cancer patients who pick psychosomatic therapy-whether professionally
or with a great friend-are distinct from most other patients. They are
not 'just' being treated by other people, but play an active part in resolving
how and why the illness occurred. The word 'patient' becomes redundant,
and they enter into active co-treatment of themselves.

It's not a question of trying to follow some perfect way of living, based
on other people's experiences. Each and every one of us need to discover our OWN
solution-a way of life that works for US. We turn into sick in OUR OWN WAY
-and we should HEAL in our own way."
