It's a critical part of their healing. The other part of my life, my hobby, my avocation is sports medicine. I work with world caliber athletes and I was an Olympic team physician in 1988. I do that as a catharsis for the tragedy that I live with every day. One of the things that is beautiful about sports medicine is that one really does see people at their personal best.
Cancer is like most diseases.
Not all cancers, but certainly most are a combination of genetic problems and the environment. We become susceptible because of exposure to toxins or carcinogens, or what we eat or breathe, or the stress in our lives. We all get cancer cells, but our immune systems finds those cells and eliminate them. It's only when our ability to eliminate a cancer cell falls below the strength of the cancer cell that it keeps dividing and we actually develop cancer. It's a real mixture of genetic environment and mental attitude, and that is when soul therapy is really very beneficial because those patients have a real determination often to do better than patients who are frightened and give up.
