characterised by unhindered movement and fl ow. One woman who healed herself of metastatic pancreatic cancer said it this way:
“I think the etheric body—the energy body— organizes the physical body based on thoughts or emotions that are either fl owing or blocked. So as long as emotions and thoughts are positive and fl owing . . . then the physical body is holding a state of greater balance. As soon as the thoughts become low-frequency thoughts or our emotions become low-frequency emotions, then the energy tends to jam up or get blocked in the auric fi eld. And when it blocks up enough, it fi rst creates discomfort. . . . When nothing is done to release those emotions or thoughts, or to change them, eventually it moves into the etheric fi eld and sometimes even into the physical body, and that’s what causes what I call ‘dis-ease.’ And again, it’s still just energy that’s stuck.”
Belief #3: A Body-Mind-Spirit Interaction Exists and “Energy” Permeates All Three
The third belief that the majority of my interviewees discussed was the idea that a body- mind-spirit interaction exists, and that energy permeates all three of these levels. A quigong healer and cancer survivor from New Zealand said it this way:
“They say a person is made up of your physical body and your ‘shen’—which [in traditional Chinese medicine] is your consciousness or spirit—and then ‘chi’ is the thing that connects the ‘shen’ and your physical body. So those three will work together and are one, really, but the key thing to remember is that the ‘shen’ leads the ‘chi,’ so your consciousness, or where the mind is going, is where your chi is going, and that begets your physical body. So if your ‘shen’ is really busy and very emotional, you know going up and down, that really depletes your chi, and that leads to disease or breakdown.”
The Six Most Common Healing Approaches
In addition to the three underlying beliefs about health that I just described, there were also six

cancer treatments that the survivors and healers discussed most frequently. These included not only physical but also emotional, energetic, and/ or spiritual “treatments.” They are listed here in alphabetical order.
Changing Diet
The majority of my interviewees believed it was important to change their diet to primarily whole vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans, while eliminating meat, sugar, dairy, and refi ned grains. A Stage 3 breast cancer survivor described her diet this way:
“You can’t eat sugar, fl our, dairy products. It’s mostly vegetables, fruit and no red meat whatsoever, a little chicken here or there or fi sh, but I didn’t do a steady diet of that. It was mostly green stuff. And juicing cabbage is very important.”
Experiencing a Deepening of Spirituality
The majority of my interviewees discussed feeling—not just believing in, but actually feeling—a sensation of divine, loving energy. A few even had transcendent experiences, such as this Stage 4 brain cancer survivor, who said:
“And then there was a woman walking out of [my bathroom] and she was just shrouded in light, and I couldn’t see her face exactly but she was beautiful and—just this beautiful, beautiful light, and I can’t describe the color, but it was like the perfect light. She was walking slowly over to me and she didn’t say anything, but she held out her hand. And then she was right beside me, and she reached out her hand, and she put it on my head, and in that instant, I just, from my head down, slowly, it [the light] trickled like it was paint oozing down my body. . . . It was the feeling of perfection, of pure, pure love.”
Feeling Love/Joy/Happiness
The majority of my interviewees also discussed the importance of increasing love and happiness in their life in order to help regain their health. A metastatic kidney cancer survivor from Japan said it this way:
