The diagnosis is shocking, the fight is overwhelming and the battle can be daunting. Dealing with cancer – as a patient, caregiver, family member or friend – will include dealing with a variety of emotions and feelings.
Yet new research shows that scientifically based techniques can help patients, not only cope, but achieve optimal immunity. Over the last decade, we have learned that shocking risk factors – greater than smoking, diet, or cholesterol – can make the difference between robust health and life-threatening disease. Even your genetic inheritance isn’t as fixed as you might have imagined!
“If you already enjoy great health, these skills and techniques can help you keep it; but if facing illness, you will find ground-breaking discoveries from leading experts, synthesized so you can harness all the available technologies quickly and easily” explains Brenda Stockdale, behavioral medicine practitioner at Radiotherapy Centers of Georgia-North Georgia in Cumming. “The result is a compendium of essential information for a lifelong program of how to stay strong and healthy. Whether facing a cancer diagnosis or recovering from treatment, recent discoveries in mind-body medicine can help you meet that challenge. While there is no one-answer fits all there are techniques that fit most.”
Al Siebert, PhD and other researchers have identified three immune enhancing traits, dubbed the 3 Cs for:
- Commitment
- Control
- Challenge
For example, finding new ways to feel in “control” of your life, exhibit “commitment” to yourself, and reframe the crisis as a “challenge” to be met has a potent effect on immunity. To read how one 9-year old boy, in a seemingly hopeless situation met all 3 Cs click here.
Cultivating the 3 Cs leads to the gold standard of survivor research: resilience. Resilience is linked to an increased ability to find meaning in suffering and thrive in the face of adversity. To see how resilient – flexible, resistant, strong, buoyant – you are take the test provided by clicking here.
