Doctors Said Weeks - She Lived Years Instead. Here's How.

To see more of Bernie Siegal two-hour tape program on cancer fighters like Barbara - https://youtu.be/n5EKMVIdriY I was making a film with Dr. Bernie Siegel the well-known surgeon and author whose books have sold millions of copies about the connection between positive attitude and successful cancer outcomes. This clip is a portion of my two hour video to help those with cancer and other serious illnesses and their families, titled Fight For Your Life. Love and prayer heal. Unconditional love heals. These speakers provide some proof. I was making this film with Dr. Siegel. In order to prove his theory, he didn't have a lot of statistics but he did have a surprising number of patients who were told that they were going to die and they should get their affairs in order. Each of them used one form or another of positive attitude to fight their disease (Dr. Siegel wrote the book Love, Medicine and Miracles). I got the chance to interview several of them and instead of doing interviews, they were placed in front of a camera in a room with no one else in it and asked to share their stories with viewers who might be in similar dire situations with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. Feeling no hope. Distraught. Angry. And that is what the folks who you are seeing in this video did. Studies have suggested that a positive outlook can help patients cope with the stress and anxiety of cancer treatment, improve quality of life and even potentially improve treatment outcomes. A 2016 study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that breast cancer patients who reported higher levels of optimism had better overall survival rates than those with lower levels of optimism. Cancer is a complex disease that can arise from genetic mutations, exposure to certain environmental factors, lifestyle choices and other factors. Some of the known risk factors for cancer include: Age: Cancer is more common in older adults as the risk of genetic mutations increases with age. Genetics: Some genetic mutations can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer. These mutations can be inherited from a parent or can occur spontaneously. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental factors, such as tobacco smoke, UV radiation, and certain chemicals can increase the risk of developing cancer. Lifestyle factors: Unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as a diet high in processed foods, lack of exercise and excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of developing cancer. Viruses and infections: Certain viruses and infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B and C, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer. If you or a loved one have cancer, in addition to Dr. Siegel's belief in maintaining a positive attitude and hope, there are choices available Surgery involves removing the cancerous tumor and nearby tissue. It is often the first treatment option if the cancer is confined to one area and hasn't spread. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells. It is often used in combination with other treatments. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be given orally or intravenously and can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. Family members of mine have used the Cancer Treatment Centers of America and drugs like CTCA, Alpelisib, Tagrisso, HNSCC, Darolutamide, Imfinzi, Carboplatin, Cisplatin, Cyclophosphamide, Docetaxel, Doxorubicin, Fluorouracil (5-FU), Gemcitabine, Methotrexate, Paclitaxel, Vinblastine & Vincristine. Immunotherapy helps the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. Targeted therapy uses drugs to target specific molecules or pathways that contribute to cancer growth. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. Hormone therapy is used to treat cancers that are hormone-sensitive, such as breast and prostate cancer. It works by blocking or reducing the amount of hormones in the body. A stem cell transplant involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. It is often used to treat blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. People in my family and among my colleagues have consistently used the American Cancer Society for support. A great organization. I know this because I have done several documentaries for them. Whatever you or your loved one does to fight this horrific disease, I ask you to fight to keep a positive attitude.
