Cancer Recovery

Well, whodeathunkit. I am bowled over, and humbled. I have been working on the phone only, with a most lovely lady, who I have never met in person. She has been battling cancer for the past five years. She is taking her last doses of Chemotherapy, as it has metastased to her organs, and she is/was at stage 4, i.e. near terminal. She was recently told by her Doctor that if these last rounds of Chemotherapy don't work, (which he alluded was a strong possibility) she should prepare herself to go home and die. I just received this email from her. Sessions every two weeks, after session 1 and session 2 after a week, to start off. Approx 10 weeks. Hi Brian! Hope you are having a nice weekend! I just need to share the amazing news I got last night couldn’t wait until next Thursday. Since June 3 to present my tumor markers have dropped from 83 to 31!!!! I’m going to make you famous! N..... (I had joked with her, that if she recovered, she would be obliged to make me famous.) Methods. 1. Bibliotherapy, "You Can Fight For Your Life." by Lawrence LeShan, a Clinical Psychologist who worked with terminal cancer patients with incredible results. 2. Counseling as to the nature of the potential of mind/body healing, including my own case histories that can be read on http://www.mindmagic123.com/id130.html 3. Using first my Self-Esteem" self-hypnosis mp3, followed by my "Pain Control and Healing From Within." self-hypnosis mp3. 4. Working through current emotional reactions to pain and other emotional and physical distress caused by the progression of her Cancers. Relieving her natural depressed state. 5. Uncovering/resolving suppressed emotional issues. There are psychological profiles of cancer patients that show them as strongly emotionally repressed/suppressed. LeShan reports that incomplete or buried grief is a major contributor to Cancer. 6. Using imagery visualizations such as picturing herself as healthy in the future as a regular self-hypnosis practice, and her cells devouring the Cancer cells that are weakened by the chemotherapy. 7. Other of my regular general trance-scripts in trance portion of the sessions, that support emotional growth and recovery. 8. Keeping a positive upbeat realistic confidence in my abilities, trance-mitting hope and Unconditional Positive Regard, (Carl Rogers) also more colloquially known as Love. I also learned a lot from Bernie Siegel, M.D. ex-president of the American Society Of Cancer Surgeons, author of, "Love, Medicine and Miracles." and "Peace, Love and Healing." Not allowing my own doubt, fear and feelings of helplessness to get in the way of my belief in the possibility of remission and/or healing of her tumors, despite Medical parameters. Nam-bloody-maste eh mate!

Well, here we go again. My phone rings, and I am given an invitation from Comedy Central. Ben Hoffman, a comedian, is also doing a life activities show, somewhat similar to the one I did with Rob and Big. He is going to have a segment on relaxation, and my invitation is to do a two minute segment on hypnotic relaxation. My next two minutes of video fame will perhaps eventually add up to my Andy Warhol prescription of fifteen minutes per person, here and there. We will film at my apartment/office again, on December 11th. When it will be shown, I don’t know. I did an interview for a show on Discovery Channel some time ago, but I don’t think it ever saw the light of day. Hypnohotshot.

Brian's latest health report.

  Hi all.  
              
I get many emails asking after my health since my recent trials and tribulations in that area, so I will send out this generic email To Whom It May Concern to everyone in my contact list.  
                    
A year after the original 6 hour emergency surgery for peritonitis I returned for a colostomy reversal some months ago. The surgery was more difficult than presupposed, and turned into another 5 hour operation.  
             
After a week in the hospital I returned home. One week later, having contracted a resistant infection, I spent another week in hospital again on IV antibiotics. All is now clear, but my strength is still much reduced for now.  I am exercising a little, which is as much as I can tolerate.
               
After the first surgery it took a year for me to regain my health, this time it may take a bit longer.
             
The joys of being 70! 
           
But I am relatively OK, so far so good.  As to the classes I was going to offer, I have had to put them on the shelf for now.  My apologies to all those who took the time to email me regarding their interest.
                
Have a nice day.                  End
