CHOOSE HEALTH

I am in complete agreement with Mr. Lerner's statement that one must differentiate "cure" from "healing." As Mr. Lerner clearly states, "Healing is essentially an inner process of becoming whole, which has physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions." In addition, he states his belief, "that every human being must find their own unique path in their efforts to recover from cancer."

In response to Mr. Lerner's conclusions that, "there is no clear cut 'cure' for cancer among the complementary therapies" we emphatically disagree. There is a wealth of scientific material which clearly demonstrate, through various non- allopathic approaches, that cancer is an eminently reversible and treatable condition. The same is also true of AIDS, arthritis, heart dis-ease and other degenerative autoimmune dis-eases.

A recent book, Alternative Medicine - The Definitive Guide is a compilation of 350 leading edge physicians who clearly explain their effective treatments for a wide variety of conditions, including cancer. Any and all treatments which encourage hope, increase the oxygen capacity of the blood, provide optimal nutrition to the cells and serve to eliminate excessive toxins from the system are effective in improving the quality of life. Today's self-induced health care "crisis" provides an unprecedented opportunity for all of us to change our focus from dis-ease care to preventive care. In the process of refocusing our attention, we are called to individually examine our lifestyles, make the necessary changes, and encourage ourselves and each other to choose to go to health.
