The New Cancer Paradigm - Mobilizing the Mind to Heal the Body

Book excerpt: “The New Cancer Paradigm” introduces us to a new perspective on illness, Cancer in particular. Nearly all methods today, both conventional and alternative focus on healing the body without healing the mind i.e. the person within this physical body. This approach separates the person from the illness and often leaves the root cause of cancer and suffering unaddressed. This book calls our attention to the body's innate ability to fight against and heal from illness, and how we can strengthen its campaign by utilizing the connection between the Subconscious Mind with the Immune System as it relates to Cancer. In practical terms, Lerner’s breakthrough methodology which is grounded in the scientific study of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), is designed to maximize the efficacy of modern medical cancer treatments and improve the odds of a full recovery. It highlights the multi-dimensional nature of our being; and the need for healing to take place not only on a physical level by treating the body but also on the level of the Mind which produced the internal environment in which cancer could flourish in the first place. Offering the reader, a new way to see and relate to their illness, this book will inspire those who wish to actively participate in their own care with a goal-oriented methodology to override fear, self-sabotage, and negativity, heal deep-seated patterns of trauma, boost immune function and ultimately develop a more favorable attitude toward treatment, medicine and outcome.
