Hi lilaveti . my thoughts healing and otherwise go out to you . Remember that is only their opinion , you have a say in this because you live in and with your body .Read the book The Journey By Brandon Bays .
http://www.thejourney.com/
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Journey-Brandon-Bays/dp/0722538391

this helped me enormously when my father was diagnosed with lung cancer and my uncle with bowel cancer . I also used the technique when i was diagnosed myself .Nutrition and correct supplements herbs etc all help but the mind is a powerful tool and releasing old patterns of thought or behavior as well as the pain we keep locked inside goes a long way to healing also :D Good luck and best wishes for your future know that you have one .
One more thing the movie the secret was very inspirational to me at the time i watched it over and again playing in the background . It has been proven that meditation visualisation helps patients with cancer so give the movie a watch if you can . Work with your body to heal on all fronts . I never saw it as a fight more establishing a dialogue with your self to heal.

[whiterain]

best wishes, sorry to hear that. keep positive

Hi Lilavati,

Here is the medicine in which I have the most trust: WATER.

http://www.naturalnews.com/SpecialReports/WaterCure250.jpg

Drink at least ten glasses of water a day.
The urine has to be colorless.

I have a lot of trust in Dr. LORRAINE DAY.
She had a huge tumor but was cured in the end
on a natural way.
She was an orthopedic surgeon herself but has
radically broken with the medical establishment.

Hi Lilavati,

In conjuction with the regime you already have in place, may I suggest you consider spendng some time in meditation...just a few minutes a day, being still...will do wonders for your Spirit!!

Otherwise, my prayers and my meditation will be going out to and for you...!!

GOD bless!!

Reason to Smile

How can one smile such sweet smiles,
When one is so saddened by sorrows for miles,
How can I smile the same smiles,
When life brings me nothing but tears,

I wondered for so long,
What reason you had to smile that long,
To keep smiling though troubles come,
And still remain sweet and silently overcome,

It's such a mystery to me,
Your smiles from heaven with glee,
I adore and yet envy thee,
But I'd rather you smile those at me,

I feel happy when I see you smile,
Even if I'm sad and lonely,
Your smiles bring me somewhere,
I don't even know where,

But it was you,
You gave me the reason to smile,
To smile with no reason,
To smile for a smile,

I guess life is just like that,
We need not a reason to smile,
For a smile is the reason itself,
To rejoice and open-heartedly give thanks,

I learned to smile because of you,
Because your smiles bring me joy when blue,
It proves how well and powerful,
A simple sweet smile can become so beautiful,

Smile for the sake of a smile,
Smile for the sake of happiness,
Smile for the sake of life,
Smile because of hope left in life,

Smile my friends,
Smile for me my Love,
Smile those same sweet smiles,
Smile so the world can be a peaceful dove...

By Lendl Ian Servillon

Stay safe, be good, and best wishes to you during your time of need.

This thread is so filled with love and good wishes that it brought tears to my eyes. Ilavati.....I send you beams of raidant light filled with love and healing. Plus a great big hug. Don't let the doctors decide your life span, they have no say in this.

May you be blessed and guided with wisdom in your quest for healing.

Sending you warm wishes for healing and all the love and hugs you might want. Lots of prayers for your wellness.

Wishing you all well lilavati.

I've heard apricot seeds and hemp-oil is recommended by many as a possible weapon to fight cancer with. You might want to check into that. I hope for a speedy recovery, and if I'd known how to pray, I'd pray for you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Do what you can to visualise yourself in a healthy positive state. Love and light x

Medicine Buddha’s function is to release living beings from physical and mental sickness by bestowing blessings on them.

His body of blue wisdom light indicates that he is an emanation of the healing power of all enlightened beings.

Through this practice, we develop a special power of body, speech, and mind, which we can then use to help others through healing actions.


Hope this helps :) and hope you get well soon.

Medicine Buddha Practice
The Mantra of Medicine Buddha

TAYATHA OM BEKANDZYAI BEKANDZYAI MAHA BEKANDZYAI BEKANDZYAI
RANDZA SAMUGATE SOHA
Reciting the Mantra of Medicine Buddha brings many benefits, worldly and spiritual.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche said:
"Medicine Buddha is called 'encompassing all the buddhas'. This means that offering the
seven-limb practice is the same as offering the seven limbs to numberless buddhas, so
one accumulates numberless inconceivable merits like limitless sky.
"Reciting Medicine Buddha mantra has inconceivable merit. Manjushri requested to
reveal in front of the "Eight Gone to Bliss Ones" (Guru Shakyamuni Buddha and the
Seven Medicine Buddhas), the special mantra that makes the Eight Gone to Bliss Ones
quickly actualize the prayer they made in the past: to actualize sentient beings' happiness
by attaining the path to enlightenment and pacifying various problems,for them to see all
the buddhas, and for all their wishes to be quickly fulfilled; for the sentient beings of the
five degen erations who have small merit and who are possessed and overwhelmed by
various diseases and spirit harms.

"During that time, all the Eight Gone to Bliss Ones in one voice taught the mantra.
Therefore, if one recites that mantra every day one will always be paid attention by the
buddhas and bodhisattvas, they will guide you. Vajrapani, owner of the secrecy, and the
Four Guardians will always protect and guide you. All your negative karmas will be
pacified and you will never be born in the three lower realms. Even just hearing the
names of the Eight Gone to Bliss Ones and reciting them pacifies all the disease and
spirit harms, even spirit harms which become a condition for disease; and all your wishes
are fulfilled.
"This is just a brief explanation of the benefits of the Medicine Buddha practice. This
practice is especially good if you are helping others, especially if you are doing healing
work it helps you to be more accurate and beneficial. You will receive much support, not
only from the Eight Gone to Bliss Ones but from the four clairvoyant devas. These devas
help you diagnose and understand the right method to heal, they are associated with the
Eight Gone to Bliss Ones.
"If one doesn't get the recitation of Medicine Buddha practice done it is a greater loss
than losing trillions of dollars. In terms of the benefits of the practice, one has missed out,
lost trillions of dollars."

Medicine Buddha Sadhana

The method for Making Requests to the Assembly of Seven Medicine Gurus


Namo Gurubya
Going for refuge and Generating Bodhicitta
Until I attain enlightenment I respectfully go for refuge
To the Guru, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
To attain buddhahood for the welfare of all living beings

I shall make requests to the Seven Sugatas. (3x)

Visualizing the Seven Tathagatas
On the crown of my head sits the Tathagata 'Medicine Guru'.
His body is blue, his right hand in the mudra of supreme giving holds an Arura plant and
his left hand in the mundra of meditative equipoise holds a bowl filled with medicine
nectar.
On his crown is the Tathagata 'King of Clear Knowing'.
His body is red, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme giving and his left hand is in the
mudra of meditative equipoise.
On his crown is the Tathagata 'Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed'.
His body is light red and both his hands are in the mudra of expounding Dharma.
On his crown is the Tathagata 'Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow'.
His body is pale red and both his hands are in the mudra of meditative equipoise.
On his crown is the Tathagata 'Stainless Excellent Gold'.
His body is golden and both his hands are in the mudra of expounding Dharma.
n his crown is the Tathagata 'King of Melodious Sound'.
His body is golden, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme giving and his left hand is in
the m udra of meditative equipoise.
On his crown is the Tathagata 'Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs'.
His body is golden, his right hand is in the mudra of granting protection and his left hand
is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.
They all wear the three robes of a monk and are adorned with the major and minor
marks. They sit in the vajra posture on seats of lotus and moon.
Offering the Seven Limbs.
Merely through the touch of the smallest part of your supreme medicinal plant you cool
the fires of the deepest hell, transforming them into lotus pools. To you, Assembly of
Protectors of impure beings, with my body, speech and mind, respectfully I prostrate.
I offer a vast collection of offerings, both actually set out and emanated through the
power of mantra, wisdom and imagination. I confess all negativities and downfalls, rejoice
in virtue, beseech you to remain and request you to teach. I dedicate these virtues to
great enlightenment.

Making requests
O Great Assembly of Blessed Ones, please listen to me.
Previously you Seven Sugatas made prayers,
To fulfill the promises you have made
In this the final five hundred years of
Buddha Shakyamunis teachings;

I request you now to show me the truth directly.
O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Great King, Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs, to you I prostrate, make
offerings and go to for refuge (x7)

The Tathagata 'Glorious Renown of Excellent Sign' melts into light and
dissolve into the Tathagata 'King of Melodious Sound'.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
King of Melodious Sound, Brilliant Radiance of Skill, Fully adorned with
Jewels, Moon and Lotus, to you I prostrate, make offerings and go for
refuge. (x7)

The Tathagata 'King of Melodious Sound 'melts into light and dissolves into
the Tathagata 'Stainless Excellent Gold'.
O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Stainless Exc ellent Gold, Jewel Radiance who Accomplish your Vows, to
you I prostrate, make offerings and go for refuge. (x7)

The Tathagata 'Stainless Excellent Gold' melts into light and dissolves into
the Tathagata 'Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow'.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Supreme Glory Free from sorrow, to you I prostrate, make offerings and
go for refuge. (x7)

The Tathagata 'Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow' melts into light and
dissolves into the Tathagata 'Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed'.
O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed, to you I prostrate, make
offerings and go for refuge. (x7)

The Tathagata 'Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed' melts into light
and dissolves into the Tathagata 'King of Clear Knowing'.
O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
King of Clear Knowing, who Fully Enjoy a Supreme Wisdom of an Ocean
of Dharma, to you I prostrate, make offerings and go for refuge. (x7)

The Tathagata' King of Clear Knowing' melts into light and dissolves into
the Tathagata 'Medicine Guru'.



O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Medicine Guru, Great King with the Radiance of a Lapis Jewel, to you I
prostrate, make offerings and go for refuge. (x7)

The Tathagata 'King of Medicine' melts into light and dissolves into me. All
sickness, spirits, negativities and obstructions that afflict me are purified
and I become the Buddha, Medicine Guru.

Recitation of Mantra
At my heart on a moon is a letter HUM surrounded by the mantra rosary.

http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8639/mtmedbuddha.jpg (http://img3.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mtmedbuddha.jpg)

TAYATHA OM BEKANDZYAI BEKANDZYAI MAHA
BEKANDZYAI BEKANDZYAI RANDZA SAMUGATE SOHA

at this stage,recite mantra quietly, or in your mind and visualise mantra rosary at your heart in your central channel and all the Blue light emanating from the mantra rosary spreads all around your body,when you have finished dissolve mantra rosary into your heart and meditate on this feeling for a while until comfortable.

Dedication
Through my virtues from prostrating, making offerings,
and reciting the names of the Assembly of Seven Sugatas,
May the supreme prayers that they previously made,
The two sets of eight, the four sets of four and the twelve promises,
Immediately ripen upon myself and all other living beings.

Try and recite this,you can do it in your mind,no need to say it out loud,just reading the words may be Enough,but try and Visualise the Blue lights going into your cancer,and the Blue Tiny medicines Buddhas healing and dissolving the cancer.

Faith and Imagination goes a long way,if you are of another faith just do it with whoever you follow or practise.:)

And i pray you get well and your cancer ripens upon me so i may assist you.:)

Another simpler and easier practise is imagine the medicine Buddha in front of you and imagine blue rays of light coming from medicine Buddhas heart entering through your crown as you breathe in and healing your cancer, and as you exhale imagine the cancer leaving your body in the form of black smoke and it then dissolves into thin air,do this as long as you feel comfortable.

and when you have finished practice dissolve medicine Buddha into your heart Chakra.

Much love to you lilivati.

The diet you have started is a positive move. Have you started on apricot kernals as well? If not, please do.

Also you must believe that you are going to get well. So much love heading your way has to be a good thing.

Hugs xx

You might want to look into this: http://www.phoenixtears.ca/

Hemp oil. Its said to do bad things to cancer, which would be good for you.

lilavati, I am holding you in my heart and giving you much positive energy to help you heal, as are all others who have posted on your thread.

I am already seeing you as healed and in perfect health.

You can do this too. Release your fear, and create in your mind the outcome you want, then start living it as though it were already a done deal.

Hugs

Hello lilavati, I will say a prayer for you and send out some healing thoughts,

you sound very strong, positive and indeed brave, take care:)

[comma berenices]

I send you a healing prayer from all in our house x

[boots]

Hi lilavati,

Very sorry to hear this. Keep up with the alkaline diet, But if I may also suggest a full mulit vitamin and mineral supplement...in powder form..so it can be taken up by the body more easily. Water is a medium for change get yourself a glass of the pure stuff and pray over it.

Love your cancer too...I know this sounds strange but they are part of you, it's just that they have gone hay wire.

All my love and healing thought's are being sent your way.

[unimatrix0]

Sending love and prayers your way.

I just saw this site and wanted to share it with you: The Healing Powers of Water (http://www.karinya.com/waterhealing.htm)

I will pray for you and will send you some distant healing. Keep your mind on God and try to have positive and healing thoughts.

[redman]

Wasn't expecting that at all.


My thoughts go out to you, stay as healthy as possible and exercise a lot if you feel up to it. Exercise sends a lot of good endorphins to the brain and will actually give you more energy.

Squeeze some lemons and drink the juice with Manuka Honey to sweeten.
