Hello and welcome to the section titled helpful tips during treatment. Now before we get started here, what I'd like to do is lay out a little disclaimer because I am not a medical doctor, so I am not prescribing any treatment in any way whatsoever. However, I have worked six years in a cancer radiation treatment facility. And so I did learn some things along the way. And many of the tips that I'm about to give you right here were used by patients who did go into remission. So, you know, I highly encourage you to use some of these yourself.

So the first thing I encourage you to do is to find someone to talk to get support and really try not to go cancer treatment alone. If you can all avoid it. getting help can be very beneficial. strong emotions are likely to come up as we discussed earlier. So processing those emotions by talking to someone could be extremely helpful and they can alleviate the distress that you may feel during cancer treatment and find positive people. You know, surround yourself with people who have a positive outlook on life because that can be very beneficial and connecting can actually raise the chances of beating cancer by staying positive and surround yourself with people who have also recovered from the disease.

So they can be extremely helpful and giving insights and tips on how to handle it cancer treatment and how to beat the disease. So some of the places you can find these people are in support groups, but there's also people healers, like myself, or counselors or therapists. So there's lots of help available out there for people dealing with cancer. So find yourself a support group and get some help there. Get the support you need. You don't need to go it alone.

Another thing I'd highly recommend is to get involved in your recovery. Knowledge is power. And so you don't want to be victimized by cancer. If you can all avoid it. You want to Step into a place of empowerment. And the way to do that is to learn as much as you can.

Try not to just follow you know healthcare providers blindly, but be involved in the decision making process. Because your path is going to be unique for you, whatever it is, if you decide to go surgery, chemo and radiation, that's fine. But if you know, you might want to look into some other things too, like, I don't know, acupuncture or Vedic treatment, or maybe some alternative therapies that are not supported by the traditional medical community. So, so get involved, get informed, and that will give you a sense of empowerment through the whole process. So one more tip I'd like to mention is that not only is it important to surround yourself with positive people, but it's also important to cultivate a positive attitude within yourself. And some of the patients that I've worked with, these are some of the things that they saw that were very positive when they had to deal with cancer.

So one woman I remember particular saw that cancer is one The greatest things that ever happened to her because it brought new people into her life that she never would have met otherwise. I've seen people also healed some family issues while they're going through cancer, and some deep forgiveness happened, which is, you know, very beneficial and very meaningful for everyone in the family. I've also seen others go through cancer, like it was a wake up call, you know, things had been in their life that were kind of out of line for a while. So cancer comes along, and it gets them on the path that they need to go to. So some people have learned about health and healing and made the appropriate adjustments where necessary. And the last tip I'd like to share and hopefully the world I can introduce you to, is the world of meditation.

This is where we can deeply relax and actually access the healing power of the mind. Now as I mentioned earlier, meditation can be used to heal suppressed emotion from the past, especially in the context of our family and some patients that have worked out He said that some of the suppressed emotion they carry it around was actually a contributing factor to why they had cancer in the first place. So we can heal ourselves and heal our families by using meditation. But other areas I've seen meditation consistently benefit cancer patients is in the areas of fear around dealing with cancer. As we mentioned before significant issues associated with family. Also, it can improve people's health just in general, it can be used to control pain, and it can be used on the cancer itself.

And some people I've even seen go through major spiritual growth, and some have seen a spiritual awakening. So cancer can help benefit people far beyond just dealing with cancer itself. So I've designed for meditations that I've used numerous times with cancer patients that have been very helpful. We're not going to have a meditation directly after this lecture, but on the following lecture, I'm going to describe those Meditation is a little more detail. So I'll see you there.
