Is there a link?

Last August when I first started to research for alternative treatment, after my one and (thankfully) only chemo, a doctor in German asked me which side my breast cancer was on. When I replied, 'on the left' he said, 'Ah, an emotional cancer'. I thought nothing of it, other than what a strange question to ask me.

When I travelled to Mallorca to meet Klaus, who introduced me to Cannabis oil, he too mentioned that my cancer was an emotional cancer.

A couple of months later, when I was being treated in the Budwig Centre, I was told again that my cancer was an 'emotional cancer'.  I remember noting that this was the same the German doctor and Klaus had said, but did not give it another thought. Cancer is cancer? Right?

And lately, in April, when I met Jose Antonio for the first time, ( the doctor who does supervised fasting and works with Chakras and meditation) he too said that  my cancer was an emotional cancer. He said more, he told me that breast cancer on the left can point to relationship issues with mothers or daughters or sisters and breast cancer on the right hand side, pointed towards relationship issue with husbands, sons, fathers.  Could there be any truth in this? My logical mind tells me, no, after all I have a great relationship with my girls and my mother. But still, it got me thinking .....

This is the first time I took note. Four different sources, four completely different people all said the same thing, my breast cancer was an emotional cancer?!

I have a friend who's father died quite young. Since then,  all his working life he planned for his retirement , as he was very aware how his father's life was cut short. His large pension has been a topic of dinner conversations for over 25 years. He was due to retire last autumn and a couple of weeks before the big day he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Was it the fear of not making retirement like his dad, that contributed to his cancer?

I have another friend who had colon cancer, after going through divorce. She was unhappy in her marriage for many years and when she finally broke free, she contracted colon cancer. Was it the fear of breaking free, that contributed to her cancer?

I have a friend who went through a messy divorce, she is / was a control freak and was always the first to jump in when a problem needed to be sorted, a couple of years after the divorce she was diagnosed with Parkinsons. Was it the fear of not being in control that caused Parkinsons?

I have a friend , who's mum died early, after being divorced. He himself never rated himself much and doubted that he would ever settle down to family life. When he finally in his late 40th, bought the house, made the home, had two lovely boys and a wife, he was diagnosed with Hopkins Lymphoma. Was it the fear of not realising the dream or when he did realise his dream, that caused his cancer?

I have a friend, who had a handycapped brother, who died when she was in her late teens. She grew up with illness surrounding her. She now has Crohn's disease. Was it the fear, that eventually she would get sick, which caused the Crohn's disease?

I have a friend who's son has cancer. They have now identified that when the wife's father committed suicide 5 years ago, the son who has a very close relationship with his mum, felt her pain and he suffered just as much. Was it the fear of losing mum as well, that caused the son to contract cancer?

I know a girl / woman, who after 20 years or married family life, left her husband  and children for another man a couple of years ago, she also has breast cancer now.  He breast cancer is on the right hand side.

Then there is me.

So I ask myself, from what I know in my little world, is there a link between 'emotional unbalance / doubt/ fear and disease / cancer.

Many doctors would argue that there is and many argue there isn't.

I am coming round to thinking that there might be a link.

I recently watched an interview with Anita Moorjani, and have since ordered her book: 'Dying to be me' by Anita Moorjani. Her story touched me, in fact touched me deeply. A truly inspiring woman, who fought cancer for 4 years, he organs were failing and her body began to shut down. After a 'near death' experience she realised what had caused her cancer. After gaining consciousness again, Anita found that she was cured of cancer within a very short time.............. Best to read the book, if you are interested. What made the biggest impression on me, is how she identified the cause of her cancer and having done that, her body cured itself. How is that possible? The mind created the environment for the cancer to grow in the first place, but then also cured itself.............. A true inspiration, is all I can say.
