If you are a terminal cancer patient given up by your doctors, do not despair, do not give up, there is high hope that you may find a cure of your case from the testimonials. Some of the therapies in this list are very inexpensive, in the range of $2000 to $5000. Some are more expensive, in the range of $20,000 to $30,000. It is unfortunate that these alternative therapies are not covered by the medical insurance. It is one of the objectives of the collection of this list to expedite the legalization and inclusion of the effective alternative treatments to our medical insurance system so that our children will get the benefits.

While this website is trying to collect 1000 testimonials who used alternative cancer treatments with success, do you know there were possibly more than 1000 cases of cancer regression without any treatment?

We are just beginning to discover that there is connection between our mind and our body when we are ill, including cancer. There are still so much to learn between our mind, our immune system, and the cancer disease. Cancer patients cannot wait for the studies and the results, which may be decades from now, however, they can apply the most inexpensive treatment of all cancer treatments, that is, an optimistic attitude and a fighting spirit towards the cancer disease. If so many cancer survivors or victors in this 1000 testimonials who were given up by the orthodox medicine could beat the disease, so can you. What you need is more knowledge, and knowledge is power, the power to win the cancer war.

There were 741 cases between 1900 and 1987 reviewed by G.B. Challis and H.J. Stam (The spontaneous regression of cancer: A review of cases from 1900 to 1987, Acta Oncol 1990; 29(5): 545-50). According to Donald MacAdam in his book "Spontaneous Regression" there must be more than 1000 cases of spontaneous regression if cases before 1900 and after 1987 were included.

When cancer disappears without any conventional treatment doctors call it spontaneous remission or spontaneous regression. The difference between remission and regression is mainly in the time duration cancer disappears, so it is not quite simple to distinguish them. We may say 3 years without recurring is remission while 30 years is regression, or we may say 4.9 years without recurrence is remission while 5.1 years is regression if we use the definition of 5-year "cure". In general remission is not considered the complete restoration to health whereas regression is. Nevertheless for simplicity we may just consider both remission and regression to be cancer disappearance without treatment. For the researchers a more complete definition or redefinition of remission was suggested in the book "Spontaneous Remission" by O'Regan and Hirshberg.

Recent scientific studies have revealed that there are definitely connections between the mind and the body, and the diseases including cancer can be influenced by the state of the mind. As a starter the viewers may read the following 6 books to be familiarized with the topics. For the motivated viewers, these books have many references for further reading. Nowaday it is very easy to purchase books online such as www.Amazon.com with only the title of the book or the name of the author. Investing in good books can increase your knowledge, and knowledge is power to cure the disease.

The first book is "The Biology of Belief" written by Bruce Lipton, PhD. The back cover of this book has this paragraph:

This book will forever change how you think about your own thinking. Stunning new scientific discoveries about the biochemical effects of the brain's functioning show that all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts. The author, a renowned cell biologist, describes the precise molecular pathways through which this occurs. Using simple language illustrations, humor and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter, and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our spepies.

The second book is "Miracles of Mind" by Russell Targ and Jane Katra, PhD. Here are three comments from the critics of the book:

Miracles of Mind is a book that challenges not only the intellect, but also the heart and soul. Here for the first time a world-class parapsychologist, Russell Targ, writes about his own healing and inner transformation. And Jane Katra, the gifted healer with whom he worked, reveals the processes of spiritual awakening ..... -- Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, president of The Intuition Network and author of The Roots of Consciousness.

..... Miracles of Mind, written by a laser physicist and a spiritual healer, is both illuminating and inspiring. This book conveys the latest thinking about psychic research from perspective as diverse as the Dalai Lama and the Bhagavad Gita, to covert CIA spying and the holographic models of modern quantum physics. Miracles of Mind is a compelling and persuasive take on the mind's power to heal -- Michael Murphy, Co-founder of the Esalen Institute and author of "Future of The Body".

Too often parapsychology books are either very authoritative and scientific, but dry as dust, or warm and emotional, but with little discrimination between sense and wish-fulfilling nonsense. Miracles of Minds is a wonderful exception to this, combining scientific authority with real understanding of the important implications ..... -- Charles Tart, PhD, author of Altered State of Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychologies.

The third book is "Remarkable Recovery" by Caryle Hirshberg and Marc Ian Barasch. Caryle Hirshberg was the co-author of the book "Spontaneous Remission" mentioned on this website. Here are the comments of two critics:

Remarkable Recovery provides a host of stunning stories. These accounts give the reader the exquisite opportunity to step into the stream of medical history. Reading these case histories one can feel medicine in motion ..... But Remarkable Recovery is far more than a collection of stories. For unlike most writers who deal with unusual healings, authors Hirshberg and Barasch ask vital questions: Can we go beyond the stories? Can we apply science to the study of remarkable recoveries? Can we dare to imagine what the body's healing system will eventually look like? ..... -- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of bestselling Healing Words.

The Fourth book is "Love, Medicine & Miracles" by Bernie S. Siegel, M.D. Here are some comments at the back cover of the book:

"Run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and get this amazing book that explains how you can 'think' yourself sick or well ..... Every family should have copy. It can be a lifesaver. -- Ann Landers

Bernie S. Siegel, M.D., who prefers to be called Bernie, practiced general and pediatric surgery in New Haven, Connecticut, until he retired in 1989. In 1978, he began talking about patient empowerment and the choice to live fully and die in peace. He founded ECaP (Exceptional Cancer Patients) based on "carefrontation", a loving, safe, therapeutic confrontation that facilitates personal change, empowerment and healing .....

Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happens to exceptional patients everyday -- patients who the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery.
