Just as you don’t walk down the street and “catch” health, neither do you walk down the street and “catch” disease.  Both are earned.  They are the consequences, not the causes.  The symptoms associated with these “diseases”, such as pain or difficulty breathing, are usually what alerts us that something is ‘wrong’ and, unfortunately are often, considered to be the diagnosis, such as “head ache” or “hematemesis” (vomiting blood) or “dyspnea” (difficulty breathing) or “dysuria” (painful unrination).  Most ‘diagnoses’ are merely descriptions of the symptoms.  Hence, in most cases, there is nothing mysterious or magical about making a diagnosis.  The tragedy is that once the “diagnosis” has been made, the investigation as to the cause, stops!!  The ‘treatment’ addresses the ‘diagnosis’.  Pain medicine is given.  A blood vessel is cauterized or sewn closed. 

Cancer is considered to be, ‘the enemy’.  We have declared a “war on cancer”.  And other than cigarettes, we are told that most other factors contributing to the development of cancer are beyond our control, such as genetics, or ‘stress’, or pollution.  And the term “cancer prevention” is misused to include receiving vaccinations and diagnostic screening, such as mammograms.

The conditions of living which lead to the development of cancer are well known; they are not a mystery.Cigarettes and other tobacco products are only one small factor contributing to the development of cancer and therefore, if one is to begin a journey to become cancer free, they need to not only discontinue whatever they were doing or being exposed to, but they also need to learn what they can do to insure that healthy cells are produced.  In other words, they need to learn, how to stop making cancer.

Thus, participation is essential.  Here, at our healing center, people learn how to stop making cancer through study and apprenticeship.  The idea of passively sitting back and receiving treatment must be abandoned in favor of the idea of coming to our center and learning how to regain the vitality and vigor and joy of health. 

It must be remembered that “disease” is the body attempting to re-establish optimal functioning.  Health is not the absence of disease nor is it the absence of anything.  It is the presence of something.  It is the ability to regenerate, rejuvenate and procreate.  Health is the condition that results when one lives according to the biological laws that govern the functioning of the organism.

It does not matter how effective any group of doctors is at getting rid of cancer, if the person involved continues to produce cancer.
