I'd like to bring you a sense of hope and inspiration by sharing real-life cases of spontaneous remission and their key healing factors as noted by Kelly Turner Ph.D.
As Deepak Chopra M.D. says “you can believe the diagnosis, but not the prognosis”. By this he means, don’t buy into the idea that you have a definite expiration date!
As you will see from the case studies below, many people have self-healed from so called “terminal” and “incurable” diseases, by taking radical steps towards their health and wellbeing. The people in the cases described below are now disease-free and have lived many years past their “expiration date”.
The real life stories below can be found on Kelly Turner’s Radical Remission website. Kelly Turner Ph.D has spent over a decade researching cases of Spontaneous Remission all over the world.
Many of the cases of remission were people with Stage 4 Cancers, and were compiled into her New York Times best-selling book Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds. She has since published the book Radical Hope exploring the real-life application of the Radical Remission principles and the people who have chosen to take this journey.
From Kelly Turner's research, she found that people who experienced Radical Remission were not passive in their treatment, instead they actively participated in their cure.
She has compiled a list of “Key Healing Factors” that were common across the survivors. You may be surprised to learn that many of these factors relate more to our mind than our body. While these factors can’t guarantee remission, they are certainly essential elements of a treatment programme that improves chances of survival.
The Key Healing Factors that Support Spontaneous Remission:
Radically changing your diet
Using Herbs & Supplements
Increasing Positive Emotions
Releasing Suppressed Emotions
Following Your Intuition
Deepening Your Spiritual Connection
Increasing Social Support
Finding Strong Reasons for Living
Taking Control of Your Health
Though only three Spontaneous Remission cases are shared below, there are thousands of cases listed on the Radical Remission website. The website also includes stories of remission from diseases other than Cancer.
I encourage you to enjoy searching and reading as many other cases as you need to, until you feel hopeful and positive about your own situation. You can then use this energy to engage positively in your treatment by including the Radical Remission Factors into your plan.
Spontaneous Remission Case Study 1
In 1998, Cathie was diagnosed with Stage 4, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The doctors told her that this was “incurable”. She refused to accept this deciding “that was not good enough”, and went in search of alternatives.
She says the first thing that she did was to decide she wanted to live. She received no conventional medicine, and instead focussed all her energy on changing her life and limiting beliefs through alternative therapies.
She believes that changing her lifestyle and releasing unconscious beliefs that she was unlovable and worthless were large factors in her improvement.
Within 1 year of her diagnosis, she was told there was no sign of cancer! As at 2017 when she documented her story she has remained cancer-free.
Cathie included the following Radical Remission Factors:
Diet Change
Herbs & Supplements
Increasing Positive Emotions
Releasing Suppressed Emotions
Following Your Intuition
Deepening Your Spiritual Connection
Increasing Social Support
Finding Strong Reasons for Living
Taking Control of Your Health
