Personal Bio (My story)
In 1978 he originated Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients’ drawings, dreams, images and feelings. ECaP is based on “carefrontation,” a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual’s life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of.

You can be born again and reparent yourself and start a new life. Many do when they learn they have a life threatening illness and then don't die when they are supposed to. Accepting your mortality can be very empowering when you stop giving away your life's time to the feelings generated by the actions of others. Remember you create the feelings.

You control one thing; your thoughts. So stop living in a future you fear due to your thoughts and visualize what you desire. Also use meditation, laughter and relationships to help you. Drugs and alcohol are helpful too when the previous items are ineffective. As a 90+ year old said in our support group, "The only thing I am afraid of is driving on the parkway at night." You have a potential that you need to recognize and accept and live the message. As Ernest Holmes said, "What if Jesus was the only normal person who ever lived?"

They both treat each other as human beings and show compassion and LISTEN to each other. That MD is not the Medical Deity but that you are a team. Each interested in the relationship and not their individual needs.Also that the patient doesn't feel worse after every visit due to things the doctor says.And the patient becomes an individual and not a disease to the doctor. Buy your doctor a humorous birthday card and do other things so you are a character and not a diagnosis. The doctor is able to hear criticism from family, patients and nurses and learn from their mistakes rather than make excuses and blame the patient.

it's an individual thing.
you do what makes you happy and not out of fear or hatred of your body. animals can look in the mirror after surgery. we shed things to enhance other features. if you'd like poems by women about their mastectomies email me. it's an individual thing.

how you feel about the treatment is the key. i use drawings to get patients to display themselves receiving treatment and when a purple beam comes from god and another draws a body in a trapped box or a gas chamber they have side effects even when there is no radiation given. others say i get out of the way and let it go to my tumor and have no side effects.
when a radiation machine had no radioactive material in it the radiation therapist did not realize it for 30 days when machine was inspected. because people acted as if they were being treated. their mind created what they expected. how you feel about the treatment is the key. i use drawings to get patients to display themselves receiving treatment and when a purple beam comes from god and another draws a body in a trapped box or a gas chamber they have side effects even when there is no radiation given. others say i get out of the way and let it go to my tumor and have no side effects.

you are not a statistic. you have potential. tell him you will bet him $10,000 you will live longer than he predicts and see if he is willing to bet. there is survival behavior read on my web site immune competent personality. doctors are not trained to teach people survival behavior. they do not know how to deal with loss and so predict everything to keep control.

the mind and body are a unit not separate. what you think becomes your chemistry and communicates with your genes. identical twins don't get the same problem on the same day. read the biology of belief by Bruce Lipton.

they are not spontaneous or miraculous. in his book Cancer Ward Solzhenitsyn says it all. there are cases of self induced healing and the symbol is a rainbow colored butterfly. so how do you create that? you restore order to your life as the colors represent our emotions and you transform your life to this new life. the butterfly is the symbol of transformation. then you have a new life, born again, and your genes get the message.

by loving their life and body
by having a pet and relationships because loneliness affects the genes which control immune function
laugh several times a day for no reason and act like the person you want to be
actors who perform a tragedy have their immune function suppressed and those in a comedy have it enhanced
so meditate and find peace and joy and grow as a human being
when your body knows you love your life it does all it can to keep you alive
look at Monday morning when the opposite happens by loving their life and body
