Cancer Support And Education Self Help Manual And Workbook: By Emmett Miller MD & Maggie Creighton (PDF Download)

This manual was an important part of the program taught (and experienced) at the Cancer Support and Education Center – the second cancer support group center in the world, and the first offering training for health and helping professionals. An overview of the course and interviews with former cancer survivors who took the training can be found on Confronting Cancer – Facing, Embracing, and Thriving.

This course is designed for self-help.  The degree to which this course will be able to assist you is substantially dependent on your willingness to work hard and enthusiastically utilizing the concepts and techniques taught in the course.  In particular, you will be taught a visualizing technique that you will be asked to practice three times a day, once before breakfast, once at noon, and once before you go to bed.  Each practice session is approximately 15 minutes.  In addition, you will be asked to keep track of your imagery and evaluate it so that you create a positive expectancy of health.  It is essential to your success in this course that you establish a discipline of utilizing the visualization technique three times a day.  Your visualization communicates your beliefs as to the outcome of your cancer, and, as you will be learning in this course, your beliefs significantly contribute to your health.

This manual/workbook follows the guidance presented in Confronting Cancer – Facing, Embracing, and Thriving and is designed to provide you with practical tools to assist you in applying effective tools of Mind-Body Medicine.

The Chapters of the Manual are as follows:

Meditation And Guided Imagery To Support Rapid Recovery From Cancer

A person who has received a diagnosis of cancer has two issues to deal with: cancer, the disease (the abnormal cells and their growth), and cancer, the Illness (feelings of being unwell, uncomfortable and “sick.” As you listen to this program you will learn mind-tools of deep relaxation (meditation), focused awareness, and guided imagery (visualization) – self-applied techniques to enable you to heal. The mind–tools presented in this program can help you change your attitudes, positively impact how you feel and function, improve survival, and help minimize symptoms and side effects of treatment.

Many healthcare professionals believe that, based upon current studies, that maintaining a sense of strength and confidence and experiencing a sense of participating in fighting the disease, along with having a positive image of one’s self conquering the disease can significantly improve both morbidity and mortality. The processes presented here were originally developed at the Cancer Support and Education Center, the first organization of its kind in the world. They have been subsequently inaugurated at thousands of hospitals throughout the world. They were originally developed by Dr. Miller and Maggie Creighton, cofounders of the Center, and Carl Simonton M.D., author of the groundbreaking book, Getting Well Again. Independent studies have supported the effectiveness of these tools.

When people receive a diagnosis of cancer, they often feel shocked and confused. The goal of this program is to help you formulate “An Answer To Cancer.” The meditation techniques and the cognitive restructuring provided by the guided imagery here and, as well in the supplementary products Dr. Miller has produced are those found to be most useful by patients in rallying their internal defenses against cancer.

People have many different beliefs about how to deal with a diagnosis of cancer. Some will accept whatever the doctor recommends; some will take radiation, but not chemotherapy and some the opposite, and some refuse both! Some look to their religious beliefs as most important in their healing, while others feel the most important is to trust science and good doctors. Regardless of which kind of person you are, you will find this a most useful program, it will help you be successful in healing, whatever other treatment you choose.

 

 

 

 

 

Products for Cancer Support

For many years, a diagnosis of cancer was seen as a virtual death sentence, and the fear of cancer diagnosis engendered was so great that people were sometimes not even told what they had . . . that was until Carl Simonton, Maggie Creighton, and Emmett Miller came along to completely revolutionize our way of dealing with the challenges of cancer.
Here are some wonderful programs to support people who are currently undergoing treatment:

  • General and specific imagery such as on Healing From Cancer (CD) has been shown to support general good health, as well as to specifically improve survival as well as quality of life.
  • Optimizing Radiation Therapy and Optimizing Chemotherapy have special imagery for those receiving chemo or radiation – so that your mind, emotions and body work with the goal of helping your body, mind and emotions work with the treatment.
  • Awakening the Healer Within is a recording of several talks done at the Cancer Support & Education Center, where Dr. Miller served as Medical Director, which looks at aspects of mind-body healing as they relate to the specific disease of cancer.

People undergoing treatment for cancer experience enormous changes in their lives; help for dealing with these changes can be found on:

Your Food, Cancer, and How to Confront This Inflammation Nation – A Conversation with Sunil Pai, MD

Dr. Sunil PaiDr. Pai’s message states says that although what you eat may not cause cancer, what you eat can determine whether or not your body will support the growth of cancer. How you handle stress has a direct effect on your body’s healing response. By eating a non-inflammatory diet, you can heal many illnesses and sustain your health through. Dr. Sunil Pai is an unusual man.

Sunil Pai, M.D., is a physician, a Medical Doctor, Board Certified in Holistic Integrative Medicine. He did a residency in Family Medicine, is a fellow of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona (Class 2002) directed by Dr. Andrew Weil, has been certified by Dr. Deepak Chopra as a Primordial Sound Meditation Instructor and a Creating Health (Ayurveda Lifestyle) Instructor. That’s in addition to his being certified in Functional Medicine, Physiological Regulating Medicine, Medical Acupuncture and Scalp Acupuncture through Stanford University School of Medicine.

And he says we now have experimental proof and a biological understanding of why sustaining your health through a non-inflammatory diet is important. His new book, Inflammation Nation, is fully annotated with valid scientific studies that support his claims. For instance, the studies on tumor cells growing in the laboratory that showed that when they were exposed to casein, the chief protein molecule in milk, the cells grew ten times faster, and when it is removed, the tumors gradually slow their growth.

In this show we will focus on the process of inflammation, how it can help us, and how it can harm us. Inflammation is at the base of illnesses from colitis, to heart disease, from arthritis to pink eye. You will learn how choosing the right foods can balance the inflammatory reactions in your body, and why it makes good sense to choose anti-inflammatory supplements.
