131028 - Ron cites Millie's letter to him on 050709. ref SDS 15 2Y5N
131030 -  ..
131031 - Saying Millie's reasons are erroneous (i.e., "do not hold water) for
131032 - getting treatment that have proven effective the past 5 years rather
131033 - than invest time searching for "alternative" treatments which expert
131034 - medical opinion rejects seems unproductive in the face of failure to
131035 - provide any evidence that diverting attention to discredited solutions
131036 - will be successful, which Mil requested in her letter to Ron on 050709

230542 -         In Bach flower therapy [patients are] categorized in different
230543 -         groups of personalities and different essence combinations
230544 -         would be advised on the basis of their behavioral traits and
230545 -         mental make-up, even for the same physical symptoms i.e.
230546 -         headache.
230548 -          ..
230549 -         Bach Flower Therapy is a personalized treatment wherein the
230550 -         mode of assessment is determined after studying sufferer's
230551 -         mental make-up and innate nature.  How he (or she) reacts with
230552 -         (his or her )existing circumstances?  And since how long that
230553 -         negativity is accumulated in the psyche of the patient?  The
230554 -         essence combinations would be suggested after careful
230555 -         examination of the psyche and not merely on the basis of
230556 -         physical symptoms of ailment or ill-health condition.
230557 -         Naturally each person is handled differently in Bach Flower
230558 -         Therapy.  In other words, for the same ill-health condition,
230559 -         say headache every person would be measured differently with
230560 -         different essence combinations.  An "essence combination"
230561 -         suitable for a person in lessening paranoid tendencies may be
230562 -         useful to another in alleviating absentmindedness!  For this
230563 -         reason, formulations of Bach Flower essences for different
230564 -         ailments or ill-health conditions cannot be prepared and
230565 -         marketed like allopathic medicines.

270423 -        anger, anxiety, depression and worry are related to different
270424 -        organs. When the Qi of an internal organ is in a state of
270425 -        imbalance, it emanates toxic wind. Diagnosing the energetic
270426 -        condition, the Chi Nei Tsang practitioner uses intention and

320407 -        The notion that prayer, divine intervention or the
320408 -        ministrations of an individual healer can cure illness has
320409 -        been popular throughout history. Miraculous recoveries have
320410 -        been attributed to a myriad of techniques commonly lumped
320411 -        together as "faith healing. During the past forty years,
320412 -        several investigators have studied this subject closely and
320413 -        written about their findings.
320415 -         ..
320416 -        Louis Rose, a British psychiatrist, investigated hundreds of
320417 -        alleged faith-healing cures. As his interest became well
320418 -        known, he received communications from healers and patients
320419 -        throughout the world. He sent each correspondent a
320420 -        questionnaire and sought corroborating information from
320421 -        physicians. In Faith Healing [Penguin Books 1971], he
320422 -        concluded, "I have been unsuccessful. After nearly twenty
320423 -        years of work I have yet to find one 'miracle cure'; and
320424 -        without that (or, alternatively, massive statistics which
320425 -        others must provide) I cannot be convinced of the efficacy of
320426 -        what is commonly termed faith healing." [1]

370514 -        The procedure of self healing or regeneration of the body is a
370515 -        potent method that can be used by anyone having a basic
370516 -        understanding of Mysticism and the fundamentals of Meditation.
370517 -        Place yourself in the state of meditation and then concentrate
370518 -        on each body part being treated, such as right leg, chest,
370519 -        abdomen, etc. I have found the easiest way is to break the
370520 -        body in the following parts: 1. Both legs. 2. Abdomen and
370521 -        lower back. 3. Chest and upper back. 4. Neck and upper
370522 -        shoulders. 5. Head. 6. Arms. When you first start using this
370523 -        procedure, it might be easier to break the body up into more
370524 -        parts; but as you become more proficient you will be able to
370525 -        shorten the treatment into these parts. Concentrate on each
370526 -        part covering the entire body, then concentrate on the areas
370527 -        to be treated, until you again definitely feel heat or a
370528 -        tingle in that area, then state to your subconcious mind that
370529 -        regeneration is taking place in that part, an abundance of
370530 -        Life Force is entering the area. Multiple areas can be treated
370531 -        at the same time. You might mention more precisely the area of
370532 -        the problem like heart if you are treating the chest, etc.
370533 -        When this has been done for a few minutes, you should speak or
370534 -        intone your lost word, or an other significant mystical word

370536 -        It Is Done.
370538 -         ..
370539 -        Remember that the Cosmic does the healing by directing your
370540 -        body to accept an abundance of Life Force that is always
370541 -        present, but is usually blocked by your unacceptance of this
370542 -        Cosmic process. This must be your reality for it to work
370543 -        satisfactorily. Normally the Cosmic supplies an abundance of
370544 -        the Healing Life Force and no treatment is necessary, but if
370545 -        we develop an abnormalty then this type of care is necessary
370546 -        and should be done. This is a simple procedure to follow after
370547 -        one accepts the process and makes it a reality. I have seen
370548 -        wonderful results sometimes after a treatment or two.

370552 -        supplementary to medical attention. The doctor can also be an
370553 -        agent of the Cosmic. Do not discontinue any medical treatment
370554 -        you are receiving. Your self care can be a very potent, or
370555 -        even the most potent of all your other care, depending on your

550781 -        removing the breast, the lymph nodes, and the lining that
550782 -        covers the two chest muscles.  The muscles themselves are
550783 -        usually left in place, although the smaller muscle is sometimes

550793 -        After Surgery: Reconstruction
550795 -         ..
550796 -        It took a while, but physicians have come to realize that
550797 -        treating breast cancer involves more than just getting rid of
550798 -        the tumor. The psychological impact of losing a breast varies,
550799 -        but for many women it means some very real grieving. Doctors
550800 -        are learning to ask women whether they've considered
550801 -        reconstructive surgery, and women are learning to speak up.
550803 -         ..
550804 -        Obviously, the medical team is most concerned with saving the
550805 -        woman's life. But if the surgeon knows that she eventually
550806 -        plans to have reconstruction, he can tailor the operation to
550807 -        help ensure a natural-looking result from future plastic
550808 -        surgery.
550810 -         ..
550811 -        Many women prefer to have reconstruction immediately; others
550812 -        put it off for years. The decision to perform immediate
550813 -        reconstruction depends on many factors, including age, the
550814 -        size and location of the tumor, and the stage of the disease.
550816 -         ..
550817 -        The benefits of having reconstructive surgery at the time of
550818 -        breast removal are obvious, and there is little evidence that
550819 -        the cosmetic surgery impedes successful treatment of the
550820 -        cancer. Doing the procedures back to back, however, does mean
550821 -        an additional two to seven hours of surgery and anesthesia.

590413 -
590415 -         ..
590416 -        The main difference is that enzyme therapy treats the
590417 -        underlying cause not just the symptom.  Enzyme therapy treats
590418 -        the whole body, not just cancer.  Also it is 100% natural and
590419 -        non toxic, so there is no side effects.  Best of all it's
590420 -        effective and easy to use, so you can take it in your own home.
590422 -         ..
590423 -        Enzyme therapy not only reverses the tumor from malignant to
590424 -        benign, breaks down tumor, it also eliminates cancer cells and
590425 -        toxins from the body, repairs the tissue, organ or bone after
590426 -        the tumor has been destroyed.  Also enzymes improve body
590427 -        functions and provides more energy.  The most important thing
590428 -        is that when enzymes reverse the tumor from malignant to benign
590429 -        it reduces the pain, thus quality of life is vastly improved.
590431 -         ..
590432 -        In brief, natural cancer therapy consists of:
590433 -
590434 -            1.  Build up body energy and strengthen the immune system.
590436 -  ..
590437 - We know about the strengthening the immune system from experience on

590449 -            2.  Attack the tumor.  Reverse the tumor from malignant to
590450 -                benign.  Break down the tumor.  Eliminate toxins and
590451 -                cancer cells.
590453 -                 ..
590454 -            3.  Restore internal environment to a healthy state which
590455 -                means change the body fluids pH from acidic to slightly
590456 -                alkaline, from anaerobic ( oxygen deprived ) to
590457 -                aerobic, enhance digestion and excretion, maintain
590458 -                right blood fluidity and intestinal bacteria balance.
590460 -         ..
590461 -        With enzymes we stimulate our own natural healing force to
590462 -        fight cancer while changing the abnormal conditions (anaerobic,
590463 -        acidic pH ) that allow cancer to grow to the environment

630411 -        the body through touch.  It is built on the philosophy of
630412 -        caring for the whole person, body, mind and spirit.  The
630413 -        purpose of Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance to
630414 -        the energy system in order to maximize a person's healing
630415 -        potential and enhance a sense of well being.  Healing Touch is
630416 -        not intended to cure patients, nor is it meant to replace
630417 -        traditional medicine and therapies.  It complements traditional
630418 -        therapeutic approaches of physicians and other health care
630419 -        providers.  Healing Touch may help promote relaxation, relieve
630420 -        stress, relieve or reduce pain, and increase vitality and
630421 -        energy.  Healing touch has its roots in the nursing profession.
630422 -        The curriculum is designed as a multi-level educational
630423 -        program.  The practitioner has to meet all program requirements
630424 -        followed by a one-year mentorship with a certified Healing
630425 -        Touch practitioner, and requires documentation of 100 Healing
630426 -        touch sessions before applying to the Healing Touch
