The first thing I had to confront about myself was that I was being a compassionate fool.  I needed to learn how to maintain my own personal boundaries, and clearly delineate what stuff in my mind and my body was really mine and what was another’s.  I needed to apply certain mental techniques of self-protection known to and practiced by many healers.  I knew beyond doubt that I had developed sympathetic breast cancer because a similar phenomena had happened to me before.  Once, when I had previously been working on a person with very severe back pain with hands-on techniques, I suddenly had the pain, and the client was totally free of it.  So I protected myself when working with sick people.  I would wash my hands and arms thoroughly with cold water, or with water and vinegar after contact.  I would shake off their “energy,” have a cold shower, walk bare foot on the grass, and visualize myself well with intact boundaries.  These prophylaxes had been working for me, but I was particularly vulnerable to people with breast cancer.

I also began detoxification dieting, took more supplements, and used acupressure and reflexology as my main lines of attack.  My healing diet consisted of raw food exclusively.  I allowed myself fruits (not sweet fruits) and vegetables (including a lot of raw cabbage because vegetables in the cabbage family such as cauliflower and broccoli are known to have a healing effect on cancer), raw almonds, raw apricot kernels, and some sprouted grains and legumes.  I drank diluted carrot juice, and a chlorophyll drink made up of wheat grass and barley green and aloe vera juice.  I took echinaechia, red clover, and fenugreek seeds.  I worked all the acupuncture points on my body that strengthen the immune system, including the thymus gland, lymph nodes, and spleen.  I also worked the meridians, and reflex points for the liver, and large intestine.  I massaged the breast along the natural lines of lymphatic drainage from the area.

Last, and of great importance, I knew that the treatment would work, and that the tumor would quickly disappear.  It did vanish totally in three months.  It would have gone away quicker if I had water fasted, but I was unable to do this because I needed physical strength to care for my resident patients and family.

Eighteen years have passed since that episode, and I have had no further reappearance of breast tumors.  At age 55 I still have all my body parts, and have had no surgery except the original lumpectomy.  Many, viewing my muscles and athletic performance, would say my health is exceptional but I know my own frailties and make sure I do not aggravate them.  I still have exactly the same organ deficiencies as other cancer patients and must keep a very short leash on my lifestyle.

If for some reason I wanted to make my life very short, all I would have to do would be to abandon my diet, stop taking supplements, eat red meat and ice cream every day and be unhappy about something.  Incidentally, I have had many residential clients with breast cancer since then, and have not taken on their symptoms, so I can assume that I have safely passed that hurdle.
