When switching from being a doctor to being a patient, one's thoughts are often no longer limited to scientific ideas about the disease, but may be more from a "human" point of view to look at the disease.
People tend to keep a sense of luck with some unfortunate things: "It won't be me," he said. But ideals and realities are often in conflict, and when something unfortunate happens to us, our first reaction is often: "Why me?"
The first thing we do is to look at the disease from a human perspective. Why me? Yes, why me? This is a topic worth thinking about and exploring. We often say in life: "Don't be sick if you have anything, don't be broke if you don't have anything." There seems to be room for debate on this phrase, but "don't be sick if you have anything" I absolutely believe that everyone agrees.
? There is nothing not to have a disease, however, the fact that the reality is very blowing. As long as the individual, basically is a candidate for cancer, yes, including me, and of course, including you are reading the article, everyone, is a candidate for cancer. Our human body has been in a constant break in the equilibrium to maintain the balance of the state, a simple example: the body's oxidation and antioxidant is in the uninterrupted confrontation, life needs oxygen, but cellular aging to death is also the process of oxidation; body cells constantly in the death of metabolism, while constantly newborn cells, to maintain the balance; osteoclasts and osteoblasts of the dynamic equilibrium to ensure that the blood calcium concentration in blood Maintain the normal physiological 2.25--2.75mmol / L level required; insulin and glucagon interaction to maintain blood glucose 3.9 to 6.9 mmol / L level; including the food we eat every day and daily metabolism of waste, etc. 。。。。。。 Similarly, cancerous cells are present in almost everyone's body, (in the book "Every Man's War", the technical term microtumors is used.) Some people live with potential cancer cells in their bodies for the rest of their lives, some will have an attack at some point in their lives, and those who have an attack will lose their lives, but others will live on.
David was always educated in modern western medical thinking, so when he found out he had a malignant tumor in his head, he naturally gravitated towards medical treatment surgery. So he had it removed under the surgery of a friend he felt most comfortable with. A few years after the operation, life seemed to be restored as before. At this time, the author did not listen to his friend's advice to adjust his body, because trapped in the curse of knowledge, he only believed in the theories of modern Western medicine. But once, inadvertently, an old Indiana witch doctor said he had a bad growth in his head, and now it was back. When David went back to the hospital for a checkup, really, the cancer really came back. Because this incidental event gave David a great shock shock. It was a phenomenon that could not be understood by the science he had learned, and the Indian shaman doctor just touched his head with his hand and pinpointed a conclusion that should have been analyzed on expensive medical equipment. This led to an 18-year comprehensive study of cancer and the publication of the book, "Everyone's War". （
We all want to be healthy, and the World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or fitness. In fact, these three aspects go hand in hand. First of all, mental health is very important, especially in the fight against cancer, mental health is particularly important, people in different moods the body will secrete a number of different hormones, about this, just as you can not ask your heart to beat faster or rest slower, you need to do the right thing to be able to do. You can't ask your body to secrete substances that inhibit sickness and disease, but sickness and disease seem to be lessened when you are happy. As mentioned in The Miracle of Positive Thinking, focusing on the illness, withdrawing it, caring for it, paying attention to it, and accepting it is also a form of healing. Any disease is required to have a good mood mentality to face, back a million steps, anyway, life is inevitable death, only sooner or later, do not let go too much can not give up, think of the end, in turn, relief, maybe the rebound of the Jedi, as the saying goes, the dead horse as a living horse, maybe it is a kind of turnaround. There is a case in the book.
If the stress is too high, the body's white blood cells have receptors on their surface that can receive stress hormones and respond, some of which respond by secreting inflammatory factors and chemokines, while NK (natural killer cells) are impeded by the cortisol of norepinephrine, and are firmly anchored in the blood vessel wall, and can't attack viruses or abnormal precursor cancer cells. (These scientific and theoretical explanations are not always easy to understand, so let's use the phenomena in our life to explain by comparison. For example, when we face a vicious dog, we will be afraid, and the fear will cause our body to secrete some substances, which can be smelled and perceived by the dog. Even if we pretend not to be afraid, but the substances secreted by the body will not cooperate with our acting, the dog will also sense it.
These are the first time I've ever seen a dog in a car, and I've never seen a dog in a car that's been in a car for more than a year. Normally, what people can do, we can do.
? The human body is amazing, it has an unparalleled power of self-healing. The human body is ultimately composed of cells, as long as we give the right to give enough cells need substances, it will be in accordance with the instinctive operation to maintain the health of the human body. Because health is a normal state, and unhealthy is an abnormal state. Maintaining equilibrium is something that our bodies do naturally. And, when the body is out of balance at some point, it is ultimately up to the body itself to restore balance. Think about it, if a finger is broken, the hospital can put it back together, but who is going to make it work again, the human body itself, right? In the same way, when the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are out of order, who ultimately makes them function normally again? It's the body's own cells, right? The human body is a super-precise and subtle composition, until now, no one dares to say that the human body has an accurate description of the book. Here we have a new concept, NK (NATURAL KILLING CELL). When I was studying nutrition, we usually understood this as the body's immunity, and ANYWAY, let's see how this was discovered in an experiment. (Science is very rigorous and patient, and many of the theories of nutrition many of the concepts that push back on the past cannot be separated from the scientific research of western medical science.
? Then we can't help but ask, why is there such a powerful immune mechanism in the body, but still people will get sick? I would like to ask, this mechanism has always existed, but as the owner of this mechanism, we have not provided to make the mechanism function properly and operate smoothly? This is a problem! Here we come to a concept in nutrition, detoxification! The concept of detoxification is directly related to the food choices that are discussed and explained in a large part of this book. What is nutrition and what are toxins? What the body's cells need is nutrients, and what the body doesn't need is toxins, which must be eliminated from the body. Let the body have a clean environment, our body guards will naturally work well.
The book mentions that there are three stages in the development of cancer in the body, one is the emergence, the second is the growth, and the third is the spread. As mentioned before, there are tiny tumors in everyone's body, but basically you don't want to give it a chance, it won't have a chance to harm you, when this stage occurs, it shows that you have intentionally or unintentionally given tiny tumors to provide a suitable environment for growth. There are many reasons for this, for example, low mood, physical fatigue, overdraft, excessive intake of sugar, oil and salt, or even directly eating some easily carcinogenic food, etc.. However, in this process, the body is going to appear many signals to remind you. As long as you carefully listen to your body and observe it, and go with the flow, you can beat back the appearance of tiny tumors and not give it a chance to continue to grow. Until it spreads, there are many things you can do at any point to turn the situation around. During the development of a tiny tumor, the body reacts as follows: weakness - fever ---- allergies - inflammation - ulcers - sclerosis - cancer (this is a very specialized theory, and of course, it has STEPs on how to go about it). Once you understand how the organism works, you have the opportunity to correct any of the last stages. Cancer cells will not stop dividing and growing once it has progressed to the final step. It will eventually bring the body down.
? WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!!!? This can be more easily understood as our lifestyle, the book mentions that in the 40s and 50s, cardiovascular disease in the West was 17 times more common than in the East, but Easterners who immigrated to the United States had the same cardiovascular incidence rate as Westerners in one or two generations. However, China's cardiovascular incidence has continued to climb since the 1970s, and today China ranks among the world's leaders in the incidence of cardiovascular and other affluent diseases. The three highs are more than 140 million today.
Regarding lifestyle research, there is a group of prostate cancer patient trials:
? Regarding sugar, which is commonly known as carbohydrates, excessive intake can easily cause cancer. Because carbohydrates usually glycemic index GI will be higher, blood glucose Too high, you must secrete more insulin to regulate blood glucose, but the process of regulation Often not according to your imagination to the right concentration, suddenly drop too low, when the glucagon to participate in, often more back and forth, like a roller coaster, only to regulate the right concentration, over time, will result in insulin resistance to junction, that is, we say that the Type 2 diabetes. The recommendation is simple: eat less high GI food, choose low GI food.
? Regarding fats and oils, the human body has essential fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized by the human body itself and must be obtained from food supplements, and it is easier to obtain Omega 6 fats and oils in our usual diet, which tend to increase the storage of fat hardening, produce inflammation, promote blood clotting, and at the same time, stimulate the generation of fat cells (the number of fat cells is high, and naturally prone to obesity). There is also a type of Omega 3 oil. There is also Omega 3, which promotes nerve growth, makes cell membranes more pliable, reduces inflammation, and inhibits the growth of fat cells. A 1:1 ratio of these two fats would be optimal, but today's diets, with omega-3:omega-6 ratios of 1:15 or even 1:40, have greatly increased the chances of microscopic tumors developing in the body. This also explains why babies are now obese. Look at the kids in schools, there are still more fat ones.
WE ARE WHAT WE EAT! We need food to get the energy and nutrients that our bodies need, animal and plant, and ultimately plants! Plants get their nutrients from the earth, water, and sunlight. Since the industrialization era after 1940 (I think it was after the 70's in China), people's food sources have become less pristine, and basically come from industrialization, where fertilizers and other chemicals are added in order to make a profit. Industrialized farming also makes the animals eat things that they are not supposed to eat. After being transformed through the food chain, when eaten by human beings, a species located at the top of the food chain, toxic substances will form an enrichment effect here. This contaminates the human body's environment, causing tiny tumors to develop and go crazy. When I was in Guangdong, I've seen hydroponically grown vegetables with nutrient solution, but I don't know what's in the nutrient solution. But I'm sure there are synthetic chemicals. I remember eating carrots when I was in Shenzhen, only the look of carrots, not the flavor of carrots , back home, only to eat carrots with the flavor of carrots. This is all due to the industrialization of large-scale cultivation process in some parts of the process was artificially altered, not in accordance with a carrot should have the growth trajectory to raise carrots. Oh, a bit of a tongue twister.
? A cell, 58% water, 20% protein, 15% fat , 2% minerals, 1% vitamins. The road is simple, figure out the most fundamental, understand the smallest, from point to line to surface, the body's health is not so difficult to obtain, at least will not let themselves fall into the pit of cancer, one person is sick, the whole family is worried about it.
? When you are sick, your family and friends will worry and take care of you. Hospitals and doctors will treat you and take care of you. But it is you and you alone who suffers. So it's everyone's war, and I sincerely hope that everyone wins that war. Of course, not war and give up the army is the best policy, you can end the war before the war is launched, that do not feel too good oh!
The laws of escape statistics prove that statistics are just information, not a judgment. We can avoid the top of the statistic by conforming to the body's regular lifestyle nutritional approach, and escape to the tail. Usually a cancer patient will have a peak number of deaths eight months after the disease, and then after eight months, it is possible to stay alive and survive and still do the things you love to do and survive well.
Thanks for reading!
Let's read and grow together!
Reading lights up life, reading lights up the heart!
