Cancer is second largest cause of death after cardiovascular disease in India. Every 13th person diagnosed with cancer in the world, is an Indian. Government, Non-Government Organisation and Media are creating awareness among the people, but no matter how hard we try to get rid of it; cancer is emerging as global pandemic.
Cancer doesn’t need any introduction; it is considered as one of scariest diseases on the planet. I have specified about causes or rather theories associated with its causes in my first book- The 3 Big C: Cancer, Causes and Cures (Not yet published). Here, I am not going to describe about the causes. Whatever may be the reasons for its causes, number of cancer incidences are increasing every day. Apart from several contributors to this disease, we often hear in society about Bad Karma or a disease is always associated with some kind of sin. And sin is always associated with guilt. Our society is guilt loving society where a person made feel guilty for his/her illnesses. I remember one old Hindi movie (I really cannot remember the name) in which a person befriended with Lord Krishna. They used to chat regularly like close buddies. One day the lead character was having some medicine for his sickness. Lord Krishna asked him, “What medicine you are having”. The character replied some Terramycin (or something similar). Then Lord Krishna told him that you are sick because you have committed some sin. That is why most of the medicine is named as my sin (seframycin, tobramycin etc.)……and so on. You can understand that how such an old movie dialogue from my childhood is embedded in my mind at subconscious level. The dialogues weren’t just dialogue; this is how our society operates where every sickness and illness is seen under the SIN SCANNER. If you feel the way I have mentioned above – this is the time to dump such belief in the garbage. After studying and absorbing a lot on this, I have developed my understanding that I am sharing with you. A disease is just a body’s way to grab your attention. A warning by body to overcome certain unresolved issues for better tomorrow. In another word, a disease is like guide or true friend who is alerting you to love and take care of yourself. Release your old pattern of thinking that is causing pain, suffering and misery in your system. Grief, Anger, Hurt, Sadness and Self-critical thoughts- all are garbage at this time of critical illness. In fact, illness is created in the body due to them. Act for Cancer means taking first step for health and throw them in the garbage to make room for healing and faster recovery! (There are several successful techniques to overcome negative thinking pattern/emotional challenges that can be integrated with cancer treatment.) With love S Verma
