Staying positive is vital to a healthy life

FROM THE HEART - Gina Lopez - The Philippine Star

After my column on “Curing the Big C the natural way,” I had a lot of feedback. The most disconcerting of which was that of a lady who had the same stage one breast cancer as mine. But she did chemo (spending P240k) and radiation ( spending 35k) and now, she has stage four lung cancer. There was an energy in the  email  —  and I thought what the heck, let me go visit her. So I did and I decided to take it on — just to prove a point. She didn’t look well at all. Felt limp and weak and was in pain. 

So I put her on the same regimen I was in — and actually a little more agressive. Had her oil pull three times day.  She had pain so I lent her my laser so she could laser her pain every hour. Frankincense every two hours, and she is doing a beam ray program for pain plus the program for lung cancer. She is taking four cups of guyabano a day instead of my one. Drinking lots of organic juice.  I also let her do a detox foot bath. 

After six days, these are the results: Her pain has considerably lessened. She says she used to wake up at midnight. Now at least she is able to sleep at night. The mass at the base of her breast has decreased. 

I was aghast when she told me that when she asked her doctor what kind of food she should take, the doctor told her, “You are vomitting so much so just eat anything.” Huh? Diet is critical to health. I found out that the bulk of oncology is learning what chemical to administer and a microcosm of their time is spent on learning about nutrition — when in fact food is a key way to bring one to health. Dr. Albert Jo who has been able to heal many people, including himself, says if one has cancer, one should eat mostly raw food and organic juices. I know of two people close to me who healed themselves through the Gerson Diet, which  prescribes at least 14 glasses of organic juice a day. I put it in my G Diaries episode. It makes sense because what we eat becomes a part of us and ultimately affects our blood stream. To tell someone they can eat what they want doesn’t sound like a very healthy advice to me! It is a lack of awareness of the integratedness of all our body systems. I will go even further and say that our emotional and mental states directly affect our health — and a key to health is to address heaviness and garbage in the mind and heart. 

What I gave her for the immune system ran out so this is what Dr. Jo suggested. Get a third of the coconut, blend it with seven leaves of oregano and 1/8 cup of malunggay leaves. He swears by it. Drink three times a day. 

She continued to be in pain. She had water in her lungs so a tube had to be put to take out the water. But this caused pain in her back. Less — but still there — so this is Dr. Jo’s suggestion: Soak lettuce in water for three hours (not the iceberg lettuce) and then blend it. Take it before sleeping (since this is also her problem).

Energy — she is low on the energy scale. Take squash and soak for three hours. Blend and take three times a day. 

I gave her oils from mangosteen — which I let my help, who was in pain for months, use and it helped. She said it relaxed her. It has FDA approval so I will soon have it in my G Stuff store. 

If you have ailments, try this regimen.  If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. We owe it to ourselves to at least try. No harm comes from trying since it’s all-natural. Whatever I had used to cure my big C, I still do now because it’s healthy.

The intensity of healing is in nature. Yes, the chemical approach also addresses symptoms but at what cost? It adversely affects the kidney and liver, so my consistent take is to go natural.  If the problem is acute, one may have to balance, but I would go natural as a first recourse. 

Chemo and radiation are so costly, and it is the poor that suffer the most. When I was in the Cabinet, Secretary Ubial said that chemo and dialysis are the highest expenses of the poor that DOH has to help with. So if there is a way to do that at a microcosm of the cost — and without all the side effects, why not?

On another note: In line with the integratedness of life, I will share some key lessons I had this week, which I already knew but was just re emphasized. 

The path to wisdom:

See things differently. Sometime this week, due to an event where I felt I didn’t do as well as I should have, I felt a sadness. I  found that seeing the situation differently resulted in an immediate uplift and lightening of spirit. It’s the way one views life - that causes the pain.  The key is to go beyond the workings of the mind  to a level of wisdom where one sees beyond the reaction, beyond the pain — from a stance of equanimity.

Open to Divine energies. At another time this week, I was filled with worry — and anger — then I felt energies from the Divine lifting me up. It felt fresh and light. It is clearly a way to maneuver life. Life is not easy. That is how it is. We all have issues that “touch our buttons.”The key is to let it go — which doesn’t mean one won’t do what is right. It just means not doing things from a space of negativity. Letting go. 

Whatever happens, STAY POSITIVE! That’s vital to health. 

We move through life, we navigate. The key is to consistently reflect. My son calls it the Wisdom of the Heart. The heart intuitively knows when one is going in an off-tangent way. It just knows. If one takes that cue, then looks at the situation at hand, one will be able to see how things could have been done better. Then one needs to be humble and courageous to right the situation — and, just as importantly, not beat oneself on the head — because life is all about moving on. We move on — in love and light.
