A sixty-one year old man named Frank was diagnosed as having a fatal type of throat cancer. His weight had dropped to 98 pounds, he had trouble breathing and could barely swallow. Doctors placed his survival rate at 5% and even pondered whether he should be placed under radiation therapy, since the treatment might only add to his discomfort and not significantly increase his survival odds.
After much thought, the doctors decided to put him under radiation treatment anyway. Fortunately for Frank, Dr. O Carl Simonton, then medical director of the Cancer Counseling and Research Center in Dallas, Texas, was asked to participate in Frank’s treatment.
Dr.Simonton suggested that Frank himself had the ability to influence the course of his own disease and taught Frank a number of relaxation and mental imagery techniques.
The treatment of visualization
Frank had to visualize. . .
- the radiation he received consisted of thousands of tiny bullets of energy bombarding his cells.
- his cancer cells as being weaker than the normal cells and thus unable to repair the damage they suffered.
- his body’s white blood cells as coming in and swarming over the weakened cancer cells
- flushing the cancer cells out of his body through his liver and kidneys.
The results were astonishing and far exceeded what usually happens when a patient is treated solely with radiation therapy. Frank experienced almost none of the negative side effects – the skin and mucous membrane damage that normally followed such treatment. In a mere two months he had not only regained his weight and strength but all signs of his cancer had vanished.
Dr. Simonton believes that Frank’s remarkable recovery was due in part to his daily regimen of visualization exercises.
Frank is one of thousands of cancer patients that have benefited from imagery therapy through the Simonton Cancer Center.
Dr. Simonton, a Silva graduate was once asked to address the audience at a Silva Convention. “About the Silva system,” said Simonton, “I would say it is the most powerful single tool that I have to offer patients.”
In her part of the address, Stephanie Simonton, Dr. Simonton’s wife, talked about how they used the mental techniques at their clinic. “Probably the single most important tool we have,” she said, “is the mental imagery technique.” She then went on to tell the audience of the need for all of us to take personal responsibility for our health. “It is up to us to use the technique that all of you who have had the Silva course have learned and to use it regularly,” she said.
I am so glad Frank got better and wsh him good health, but why did he need the radiation treatment. If the mental imagery works, then it works without that intervention. Until that happens, I am afraid I remain unconvinced
My father is suffering from cancer and he has had a tumor removed along with his eye, he now has a lump near the ear and in his throat but he is refusing to be cut open and operated on he also lost hair through radiation but it grew back.
That was very nice of a true story. This is another testimony to the works of the great Jose Silva and the Silva group. I think we are now coming to be oriented on how we can change the world for the better.
HI and thanks' my wife is dealing a second time with throat cancer.. i would appreciate any and all help THANKS MAC..
I have a very good friend that is like a mom to me!! they discovered she had a brain tumor that was attached to the brain,and it was the size of a golf ball,they removed it,did all the radiation treatments,started chemotherapy only to noticed it grew back 1/3 of its original size in a short time,they went ahead with chemo,and supposedly it is 90% dead,then found out she has another one,the size of a pencil eraser,during all this she has been hospitalized 2 times for dehydration,the radiation and chemo has really taken a toll on her body,now they are going to do radiation again on the 2 nd tumor,cancer is close to my heart as I took care of totally my mother and father-in-law until they passed away,I watched Dr Simonton's video with another oncologist explaining how Cancer is a fungus,I would really love to get in touch with this doctor for her as I do not want to loose another loved one to cancer,can you tell me how to get a hold of him PLEASE!!!,Thank You,Lisa
I need to make a correction on the Dr's name I mentioned above,the video of the one I watched was of Dr Tullio Simoncini,not Dr Simonton,Dr Simoncini is the one I have been trying to find,I think he is Italian and from Italy???? I wanted to post this as the spelling seemed different and just looked back on my notes and it is,if the above doctor agrees with this one,I would love to get in touch with them as well,I have done a tone of research on cancer as I know that there are option to savings lives than just the traditonal,surgery,Radiation,chemo,then if none of that works,you are given a death sentence,so if anyone has information please let me know as I am desperatly trying to save her life!!!!!
I have been in alternative health for for over 40 yeears..My husband at one time was told he had massive cancer, and they wanted him in the hospital within 7 days..I gave him 1 quart of parsley tea every day, I also gave him the herbal teas by Sir Jason Winters (you can find his site) he also had a book out called :How I cured myself from cancer) after 7 days my husband went into the hospital, and the doctor came in the waiting room after surgery, he said " I don't understand, there is no sign of cancer!" I most definately believe in it..A lot of supplements are very important to.
I had breast cancer in 1998, and still cancer free! Its very very important to think positively,l..I have no intention of getting cancer again..I do believe the mind can heal the body!
Another great place is :Cancer Centers of America.. There is one in Chicago, Phoenix, and I believe they have one in Denver..
If you have cancer, and you call them, they will send you free of charge, a CD on what they do..(They will only send a CD if you are a cancer patient)
They have had great sucess there, with cancer. Worth checking it out.
