Read this book and learn how to induce a life and body you can love and which will do its best to keep you alive and healthy.Bernie Siegel, MD, surgeon-oncologist, psycho-oncologist,
Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles; Peace, Love & Healing; The Art of Healing.Carcinogenic Mind is a revolutionary and exciting analysis of around 2000 studies that prove: our psyche is the main source of cancer.
The
role of the mind in the origin of oncological diseases has been
discussed by scientists for several hundred years. Yet, in spite of
growing evidence from psychosomatic medicine, this topic has been
considered by the public as speculative and lacking evidence.
The
author, one of the leading psycho-oncologists in Ukraine, physician,
molecular biologist, and Buddhist practitioner, uses a rare
interdisciplinary and integrative approach, involving data from
psychology, oncology, psychoneuroimmunology, philosophy, epigenetics,
and other branches of knowledge. Step by step, illustrating with
clinical cases from his own practice, Dr. Matrenitsky skillfully
uncovers the inseparable connection of psychological, social, spiritual,
and physical mechanisms of cancer. For the first time, it is explored
throughout the whole continuum of illness, starting with a
predisposition in the womb and childhood.
A tumor is just the tip
of the iceberg. Its unseen basis is inability to cope with the problems
of life, psychological traumas and intrapersonal conflicts, arising
from unmet needs. Aggravated by repressed or suppressed negative
emotions, this leads to chronic psycho-physiological stress, which
suppresses the immune system and other systems providing anti-cancer
protection. The result is an existential crisis, leading to the loss of
the will to live and initiating a program of unconscious
self-destruction.
Overcoming the crisis, achievement of
post-traumatic growth, and spiritual awakening can revive the natural
healing powers of the body, help the medical treatment, and bring the
patient to stable remission or complete healing.
A true encyclopedia of psycho-oncology, Carcinogenic Mind answers the profound questions one faces when diagnosed with cancer:
•
Why me?
•What is the purpose of this happening to me?
•How can I help myself to make the treatment as effective as possible?
•How can I reduce the side effects of conventional medical therapy?
•What should I do to prevent a recurrence of the tumor?
•How can I bring the treatment to full recovery?
•How can I believe in my right to live?This
innovative book is written in the popular-science format to build a
‘mind-body’ bridge between medical doctors and psychologists, as well as
provide a comprehensive guide for public health professionals and
students. Inspirational, accessible, and hopeful, supplemented with a
detailed glossary, it offers a much-needed, holistic roadmap to
understanding one’s personal causes that have contributed to the
disease, and finding new ways to cure it. An illuminating and bold
recasting of the standard biomedical approach to preventing cancer, seen
as the only one, the book shows how new ‘anticancer’ mindsets and
lifestyle will help us to get and stay healthy....
