Look, my mom went to see this high-end energy healer who claims to have a massive track record. This lady actually convinced her to put off chemo and radiation because she won't work on people who've already been radiated. My mom spent an hour every single day for six months doing this, and after those six months were up, the cancer came right back...
Every month, way more people flock to Lourdes to give thanks to the Virgin Mary. Honestly, it’s a totally individual thing. Personally, I believe healing comes from within us. I didn't just pull that out of thin air; I reached that conclusion after a lot of deep reflection and thinking. It's not just talk.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really feel like this whole discussion has gone a bit OFF TRACK. It’s starting to poke into very private, deeply personal spheres regarding an individual's decisions and their faith. While I think it's fine to share an opinion, any debate about this here is honestly pointless and useless. So, please, either hold back or take this conversation to a different forum that you can start specifically for this topic.

Do the families of people battling serious illnesses suffer too? Do they need support through counseling or something similar? Could these issues be addressed by starting an association for patients where families could find answers? I’ve felt the shifts firsthand within my own family. The kids' grades slipped at school. My wife was completely overwhelmed with responsibilities toward the family and me. They don't know how to act around me because this isn't a "normal" life situation where things flow smoothly. Then there's the fear over money and survival. As for me, I'm totally burnt out. I'm not productive. I could go on and on.

Angela Wright said:I caught a bit of a show on NBC yesterday about psychological support for people battling cancer—specifically breast cancer patients, from what I could gather. Is there an association being formed to provide this kind of mental health help? If anyone saw the broadcast, has a recording, or knows anything about it, please let me know. steelbadger83?
😘 everyone

I didn't catch it, but honestly, it’s a brilliant idea. It would be even better if they included education and practical advice too. Most people facing a diagnosis are totally lost; they don't understand the disease or what the smartest next steps should be. They're left wondering: do I call a psychiatrist, talk to a priest, or just look for a shoulder to cry on?

I think you need some serious guts to try a fasting therapy like this. Living strictly on juices? I don't think many sick people could pull that off. When you're fasting, you're bound to face that fear of death—especially when you're already dealing with a high-mortality disease. It takes real courage to go through that kind of starvation.
My father has pancreatic cancer, and right now the Budwig diet is really helping him—basically flaxseed oil mixed with fresh cheese or yogurt. I'll look into getting those juices from Whole Foods. Honestly, I think combining different alternative treatments is a good move when you're fighting cancer.
Best,

The hardest part is just taking that first step; after that, it just becomes a routine. This therapy isn't actually that difficult to follow. Now that I understand the process, I could probably even manage a shortened 21-day version while still going to my job. I know someone who was completely bedridden, but after 12 days of this therapy, he could sit up, and by day 21, he stood up and never went back to being a patient again. He's 91 years old today. As for mixing diets with other alternative methods? That's a bad idea. If you commit to one therapy, stick to it. Don't mix them. They can interact, cause counter-effects, and trigger side effects so severe we don't even have solutions for them.

I picked up the book I used for my treatment about seven or eight years ago at a local shop in an unnamed town. It was written by Rudolf Breus, titled "unnamed." You can find it in most major bookstores across the US. I first learned about this method from a priest back in unnamed who used it during the war in 1992 while the city was under siege. He applied the therapy after undergoing two or three surgeries and following a fourth recurrence that had spread metastases everywhere. Since then, I’ve met others whom mainstream medicine had completely written off, people who defied every single rule of conventional medicine using this exact protocol. The process involves consuming two 8-ounce servings of a vegetable juice blend—beet, carrot, radish, celery, and potato—along with several types of tea over a 24-hour period, following a specific pattern for 42 days.
You aren't allowed to put anything else into your system besides what's listed. Through this therapy, I discovered you can actually find joy in life even after facing terrifying diagnoses like that. Throughout the entire treatment, and continuing afterward, I’ve been writing on unnamed.

Back in early 2004, I ended up at an infectious disease clinic because of a fever. After a battery of tests, I got hit with the shocker: a CT scan confirmed colon cancer. At a major hospital, they performed a right hemicolectomy within a few days—ripping out the tumor, part of the colon, some small intestine, and the associated mesentery including blood vessels and lymph nodes. Once the wounds healed, I endured seven grueling rounds of chemo. Every follow-up since then has been, to put it bluntly, satisfactory. Everything came back within normal limits. But man, living from one test result to the next... it takes a toll on your stability, on your head. I tried to take it stoically, or at least I thought I was. All the while, I kept wondering how my family was handling it. How was this hitting my kids at school, among their friends? And my wife—she was my rock, my lifeline to the world. She kept the household running financially and handled everything else she possibly could. I constantly wondered if she would just snap under the pressure. Then, two and a half years later, the recurrence hit. I felt it coming. A nipple on my left breast started pulling inward and wouldn't pop back out, and then I felt a lump in the upper left quadrant. Then came the vomiting, the diarrhea, and the tremors. It was the exact same set of symptoms I had before the '04 surgery. Urinating became difficult and the weight started dropping off. Even the scratches on my arms wouldn't heal. Instead of heading straight to a doctor, I went with the unnamed approach by Rudolf Breus. For 42 days, I lived on nothing but vegetable juice blends and various teas. Long story short: all those symptoms vanished. My subsequent checkups showed excellent health, though I dropped 35 pounds between the illness and the fasting. I have another CT scheduled for January 30th. My biggest mistake? Not getting checked out before I started the fasting.
