Description

In her PhD, she interviewed healers and survivors about their experiences with radical remission: cancer recoveries that beat the odds through natural methods, whether combined with conventional medical treatment or not. By the time she wrote the book she was drawing on over a thousand case studies. Dr. Turner points out: “I don’t give medical advice nor do I even give advice, really. I’m just here to report on my research, and I can certainly say what radical remission survivors would do from a research standpoint.” Given such unknowns we cannot read Turner’s work as a program to fight cancer. The safe conclusion is that each patient should use what is available. This includes proven allopathic treatments as well as potentially helpful non-traditional treatments. This is the case with most of Turner’s respondents also, many of whom had tried modern medical treatments previously, or concurrently, along with the nine hypotheses. As Turner reminds us, she is not arguing against western medical treatment.

To illustrate the potential power of releasing suppressed emotions, Dr. Turner shares a life story about Joe, a gay man diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer. Joe worked on letting go of his resentments toward his partner and toward God, focusing on “letting go of every ounce of anger and pessimism from his past” — along with a whole host of other lifestyle changes. Despite dire predictions, tests have shown that Joe’s tumors have continued to either shrink or hold steady.

We are Social

Dr. Turner’s book summarizes the results of her research: interviews with one hundred cancer survivors and analysis of now over one thousand cases of people who experienced a radical remission. The survivors Dr. Turner talked to were those who, because of the type and/or stage of their cancer, were considered by conventional medicine unlikely to heal from it — yet, despite all odds, they had. Kelly Turner: This particular woman that I’m referencing, when we started talking about that voice that said, “You’ve got to leave your job. Your job is killing you,” she said to me, “I wish would have listened to it from the beginning, because it was right. It was right that what I needed to do to turn my immune system around was leave that job. That was one of the things I needed to do, and in fact, it was the first thing I needed to do,” and so she did it. She listened eventually. It just took her two years. I will first distinguish her term radical remission from the more common term spontaneous remission. Spontaneous remission or spontaneous regression (SR) of cancer translates into the recovery of a patient from cancer in the absence of a disease-specific treatment, or in the presence of inadequate therapy. The recovery, therefore, does not involve conventional cancer treatment modalities such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Radha and Lopus note that most cases of SR appear to be related to acute infections. The body’s immune response is activated by infection, which in turn fights the tumor. Coley’s Toxin, a vaccine first administered in 1891 to treat sarcoma—successfully, in many cases—included deactivated Streptococcus progenies and Serratia marcescens. The literature I surveyed seems to agree that patients with certain cancers—metastatic melanoma, leukemia, lung cancer, and Merkel cell carcinoma—are more likely to experience SR. Her writing offers a wonderfully clear, succinct combination of the results of her data analysis with useful cancer research - and lovely, touching, individual stories of miraculous cancer recovery told with loving care and wonder. So we sit -together with both the science and the magic that is our life on this earth.

Key Factors Affecting Radical Remission From Cancer 9 Key Factors Affecting Radical Remission From Cancer

If you believe God is a force or energy or an "it" that you can awaken, involve and tell that divine force to help you.

As Seen On

Did she rule out that the remission was due to the conventional treatment as opposed to one of the nine key factors? Another thing I wasn't fond of was the author's decision to soften the outlandishness of John of God's healing methods by using carefully chosen words. Though many online articles refer to him succinctly as a "psychic surgeon", the author described John of God as having "the ability to leave his body and go into a trance, thereby allowing the spirit of a higher being to enter his body and perform energetic healing work." (p. 237)

If you want to read about someone's 10 day silent meditation retreat at a Buddhist enlightenment center where this person has a spiritual experience and wonders if he is hallucinating or if he experiencing God. Working first as a psychotherapist with oncology patients, Dr. Turner vowed to help her patients find out what factors could potentially turn around a life-threatening cancer diagnosis. Returning to graduate school for her doctorate, Dr. Turner traveled the globe for a year, collecting data for her dissertation. Besides talking to Radical Remission survivors, Dr. Turner also interviewed fifty non-Western alternative healers from the jungles, mountains and cities of countries including the United States, China, England, Brazil, India and Zimbabwe. Kelly Turner: I think what makes us doubt them is the culture saying, “You’ve got to listen to the experts.” In my interviews, I always try to let the interviewer know that I’m not here to give advice. I’m not here to tell people to do these nine factors. This is not like an approach that I think we should all copycat and do. This is simply an approach that the radical remission survivors I’ve studied are using.

Authors and Disclosures

Another problem with Turner’s data is its limited size. Although she conducted over a hundred interviews, she is dealing with only a small number of respondents (she doesn’t state the exact number) who have experienced radical remission. In contrast, the number of cancer sufferers is vast—the National Cancer Institute states that 1.8 million new diagnoses were made in the US, and 600,000 died from cancer in a single year, 2020, a rate equal to 442.4 people per 100,000. In addition in 2020 there were 16.9 million cumulative cancer survivors living in the US. And worldwide there will be 29.5 million new cancer cases per year by 2040. On a societal level cancer’s scale is impossible to ignore yet its scale makes it difficult to comprehend. In this light a few hundred or even a thousand radical remission exceptions are not very meaningful.
