Ever heard of Cancer going away without treatment? Am sure you must have come across one or two stories about people who refused treatment and continue to live in good health, years after their estimated time left.
Turns out spontaneous remissions are a real thing. It is an extremely rare scenario where Cancer reverses without treatment. It is estimated to occur in about 1:100000 Cancer cases. But just how spontaneous are spontaneous remissions?
According to Dr Turner in her PhD thesis at the University of South Carlifonia, Berkeley, spontaneous remissions are not spontaneous at all. Dr. Turner prefers the term "radical remission" because typically there is nothing spontaneous about these unusual cures. Most patients were actively doing something to facilitate healing.
The Patterns to spontaneous remissions
Dr Turner identified 9 major changes patients made to achieving spontaneous remissions.
The patients radically changed their diets, took control of their health, followed their intuition, used herbs and supplements, released suppressed emotions, increased positive emotions, embraced social support, deepened their spiritual connection, and had strong reasons for living.
While more research needs to be done on spontaneous remissions and deliberate triggers, it is obvious that harnessing the power of the human spirit is still relatively untapped.
