Video Transcript: Is This the Missing “Ingredient” for Cancer Recovery?
Laura Bond: And actually, that’s something that really surprised me in the research—and this is going off track a little—but it’s how important pleasure is in the healing paradigm. You know, there’s a study from the University of Pittsburgh showing that pleasure, or a sense of joy, is the second most important factor for predicting cancer recovery.
So I’d advise people not to cut out completely anything that provides them with a lot of pleasure, or—obviously if they’re dealing with cancer, cutting out sugar is a must. Dairy, something that’s probably quite advisable, especially if you’ve got hormonal cancers. But finding pleasure in other things. Taking time out every day to do something that just makes you lose track of time, where you’re completely absorbed in it.
Ty Bollinger: Right.
Laura Bond: Give yourself that rather than constantly being on this to-do list world of doing this and do that, and suddenly the day’s gone, and you haven’t squeezed out that joy.
Ty Bollinger: You haven’t enjoyed anything.
Laura Bond: Yeah, absolutely.
Ty Bollinger: No, I have to agree with you on that. That’s really congruent to the information that we’ve gotten from a lot of other interviewees, is that the emotional, the mental state, is very important. And so, joy, happiness, pleasure, laughter, all these things actually not only make you feel good, but they help regulate your immune system.
Laura Bond: Yeah. It’s really, really interesting. And especially the stress thing. I think, you know, we know intuitively that when we’re really, really stressed, we’re more primed to get sick, you know? You come down with the flu, you get a breakout of acne, you get a throbbing headache. And you might shrug your shoulders and say, “I’m under a lot of pressure right now.”
So we intuitively make that connection. But for so long we’ve been sort of reluctant to make this connection between stress and cancer. We’d rather attribute it to bad genes, bad luck, smoking. But the latest research is telling us otherwise. I mean, there’s a 2009 study from China showing that adrenaline, which is that fight-or-flight hormone, can actually make cancer resistant to treatment.
When I interviewed Dr. Joan Borysenko for You Can Say No to Chemo – she’s a Harvard-trained scientist and psychologist. And she said, “Yeah, we never thought that there was a link between stress and cancer, but we now know that when you’re stressed, the enzymes that repair breaks in DNA are damaged. So in essence, you can’t repair damaged DNA as well.” So I think it’s good for us to know the impact that stress can have on disease.
Some people initially are frustrated by that. They’re like, “Well, what do I do? Life’s stressful. I’ve got elderly parents to look after. I’ve got kids. I’ve got a pressurized job.” And it’s not about avoiding stress so much as it’s about changing your perception to it, building certain things into your day, quick things you can do which can dial down stress.

So so true
Helplessness hopelessness and deep Despair are the root cause behind all Illness usually after a very traumatic event. And if it is not addressed and eliminated you will become ill. The mind plays a huge part in healing a person. As does loving family support and close friends. Thank you for mentioning this important topic Ty. I was that person.in need of emotional help. God bless you and your family .
“A merry heart does good like a medicine” Proverbs 17:22
I have understood the link between stress, joy and cancer for a long time. The problem is, my house is a pit! At the worst of being sick, I didn’t throw anything away or even get rid of things no longer serving me. I type this in the middle of a coffee enema, while cuddling with my dog. We spent 2 hours hiking in the woods in the rain this morning. I work full time, as well as being happier and healthier than anyone I know, despite metastatic melanoma. Somewhere, there’s gotta be someone who relieves stress by de cluttering and cleaning!
Check out Marie Kondo’s program on the Internet. What an interesting weekly program as she goes to people’s homes and teaches them how to organize their homes. She is Japanese and had the most gracious and upbeat approach you’ve ever seen.
Susan Story, check out Dr. Sircus’ articles on baking soda. In his baking soda e-book I got, some people cured their cancers with baking soda by alkalizing their bodies. Cancertutor.com also has good protocols. Load up on magnesium chloride, nascent iodine, and baking soda. Dr. Sircus’ articles are gold. Be wherever you can get sunlight, grounding, and negative ions. Dr. Jack Kruse tells people to go to the Yucatan Peninsula to heal themselves (Cancun). It builds your redox potential (your body’s net negative charge).
What doesn’t make sense is that it’s a known fact that the stomach needs to be acidic. So if you drink baking soda, you are causing it to become alkaline. I take HCL capsules that also contain pectin and gention bitters which is really helping with digestion. So doctors are giving patients acid blockers when they really need more stomach acid. Check the research. My daughter is a prime example of that happening.
When I went thru chemo(9 treatments) I never stopped nothing, had good attitude, followed my holistic doctir(35 Years) and remained on keto healthy lifestyle. I’m cancer free. I never layed down, felt sorry for myself or gave up. It changed my life and I made changes. I know God healed my body. I made sure I had scriptures, songs and Gods presence in me even though I didn’t feel it at times. I remember falling, unbalanced, tired, nauseated neuropathy in both feet which were side effects also nose bleeds every morning. I said never again. I am remaining healthy, active, energetic and more alive than ever. I want to share my story with everyone . God allows us to go thru storms and the lessons learned are powerful testimonies.
How did. God and you handle your sickness

I had ovarian Cancer 15 years ago. I had 8 rounds of Chemo. I have since had a reoccurrence .i have the Truth about Cancer program as well as square one by Chris WArk. For the whole 15 years I have juiced, have a plant based diet ect and it came back. I have refused chemo this time and am doing apricot seeds and canibis oil. I’ve had scans and so far my toumor has stayed the same. My back has been really bothering me lately so I’m very scared. I’m retired and I’m a fixed budget . I also have been doing flor-essence for the whole 15 years. Any suggestions ?
