Mindbody Cancer Wellness: A Self-Help Stress Management Manual
Author: Morry D Edwards
Can "optimism" and "cancer" be uttered in the same breath?
Can "wellness" and "cancer" be lived in the same life? Can destructive and entrenched "habits of stress" be changed, even after decades?
Can one "get better" as a person during and after the life-altering experience of cancer?
Can this shattering event invite me, teach me, dare me, enable me --- to be "whole?"
If you or a loved one have been affected by cancer and its barrage of physical, emotional, and spiritual assaults, then Dr. Morry Edwards' new book MindBody Cancer Wellness A Self-Help Care Manual could be a valuable resource well worth tapping. You'll want to read it, "try" it, loan it, give it away, borrow it back, and read special pages again. And, if you sometimes feel controlled by the stress that pushes you to uncomfortable limits, you'll want this author's philosophy, if not his strategies, to seep into how you live your daily life. Why? Because Dr. Edwards' answer to all of those opening questions is a resounding YES. It is not a SIMPLISTIC YES, although he skillfully makes complex ideas quite understandable in simple, straight-forward language. Nor is it an EASY YES, since Morry challenges us to think a little differently, behave a little differently, and to appreciate our own capacities to grow as we walk with the uninvited companion of cancer. It is, however, a BELIEVABLE YES---not only because Morry carries professional credentials on his walls and more than twenty years of counseling under his belt, but also because Morry lost both of his parents to cancer and now carries them AND their optimism in his heart.
This self-care manual is intended to help readers develop skills and effectively use strategies designed to ease the stress of cancer and its treatment. It begins with basic information about the role stress plays in our lives, positively and negatively. The author translates complex information into ideas that can help anyone understand adverse stress reactions and how they can endanger the body, mind, emotions, and behavior. From this perspective, Dr. Edwards' book is scholarly. It tackles important aspects of the mind-body-spirit connection. From another view, Morry's work is a practical nuts 'n bolts approach to getting control of our fear, putting a bridle around the very real stresses that can drive us "nuts," or worse yet, make us ill and keep us unwell.
Introducing ideas like immune system "downers" and immune system "uppers," Dr. Edwards provides a comprehensive smorgasbord of relaxation strategies. In detail and with specific examples, he describes how they work, how they can be implemented, and how they can help us improve our own quality of life---as we collaborate with our medical team to strengthen our bodies' defense systems in achieving our own "wellness."

HIV and Drug Free: HIV, Cancer and the Immume Systems
Author: Eileen Renders
On February 4, 2001 the Herald-Tribune newspaper published an article quoting Federal Health Officials pertaining to an amendment of their long-held policy in the treatment of AIDS virus. Their original policy and approach in 1996 was to "hit early, hit hard" with drug therapy. However just five years later when they reviewed their guidelines policy, they had much concern over their findings. Many of the drug therapy treated patients had developed nerve damage, weakened bones, unusual accumulations of fat in the neck and abdomen, diabetes and a number of other serious side effects of therapy. Many developed dangerously high levels of cholesterol and other lipids in the blood, raising concern that HIV-infected people might face another epidemic-of heart disease.
The pendulum has swung from when few therapies were available and most people died from AIDS to a time when drug cocktails are effective but creating complications. To quote Fauci, co-chairman of the Federal Health Officials panel; "We are adopting a significantly more conservative recommendation profile." Their new guidelines written by the panel now calls for waiting until the immune system shows serious signs of weakening. This new attitude spares the liver toxicity while relying more on those therapies that are exactly what Renders Wellness has always provided. Those therapies are now available for everyone!
Eileen Renders N.D. shares her successful protocol for protecting and maintaining a healthy immune system. This protocol includes antagonists to avoid, toxins and suspected carcinogens (where they are found), healthier food replacements for traditional denatured and devitalized foods, generalrecommendations and non-toxic, non-addictive specific recommendations for addressing both the symptoms and the side-effects associated with both common disorders and/or disease.
