In this webinar:
Oncologist Dr. Rob Rutledge reviewed the book Radical Remissions: Surviving cancer against all odds by Kelly Turner, PhD, and the nine key attitudes and behaviours found in people who have undergone a spontaneous remission.
Though not promising a cure, Dr. Rutledge shows there is much wisdom in adopting this proactive approach to a cancer diagnosis which can profoundly improve one’s health and happiness.

Enjoyed the presentation. Turn on "closed captions" to help with understanding. Rob has a Canadian accent. This talk parallel's my own journey, now in remission (only a year) from metastatic sarcoma. I've thoroughly enjoyed my life on the edge of life and death. I'd recommend it for lost souls searching for meaning in a troubled world. It's a spiritual accelerant.
As a social radical, the context is also living in a toxic, urbanized world, alienated from nature that's spinning out of control. Keep the flow of water and healthy nutrients going to help de-toxify the body-mind. Cancers often forms and habituates along routes of elimination: like the lungs, skin, liver, bladder, colon. Mine was (is) urothelial.
Also, I'm a zen adept. I like Turner's book and have a sense of intentionality, but purpose needs to be put in a bigger context beyond the ego-mind, which is a social construction BTW. You allow (accept) by questioning, doubting and stripping away the non essentials. Meditation can lead to emptiness, being empty of all distinctions. Living from a place of non resistance in touch with the mysterium infinitum et oppositorum (Nicholas de Cusa). It's a mystical state of wonder, where there is no ego, no cancer, you're full of vitality or chi, and goals dissipate too. You're just in the presence of it all. No judgement or comment necessary.
This along with Basho, my adoring adopted stray cat; a loving wife; openness; attention to alternatives Western medicine, driven by the profit motive, ignores; lots of exercise and old fashioned, rural outdoor work; a simple life where you can live in a meditative, flow-state, at ease much of the time; using Western medicine (I have) as needed
and not worrying or being afraid of death, even though living is awesome! These are some of my ways.
Ian Fleming had a massive heart attack, survived and moved to Japan. He wrote a haiku to the Zen poet Basho.
"You only live twice, once when you're born, and once when you look death in the face." Be brave and don't be afraid.
Great to hear an oncologist opinion on this book. Thanks doc
Beautiful thank you
So inspiring! Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🙏♥️
Excellent, thank you 🙏
Thank you! Inspiring and interesting. I almost fell off my chair, when you told about your friend with breastcancer, who wrote to you about how she experienced her illness. What she wrote might as well have been my own words about my current experience of my own breastcancer. Also, my name is Karen.
About the top of that pyramid: is it possible? Yes definitely I firmly believe. Then when I'm asking, is it likely to happen for me? Nah, I doubt it, goes my mind. There's the first obstacle for me. Seems to balance between knowing that it usually doesn't happen in our world, and not feeling worthy of it either. And then about really wanting to live. Well, if it means living on with old ongoing conflicts that are very unlikely going to be resolved, I'd say no never mind, it's been quite enough of that. But resolving these conflicts, live free and being able to pass on all I've learned to others, a firm yes!
I loved your video friend. I just wish the volume was better. Maybe it's my aging ears lol peace be with you :-)
I wish the sound were better. It is very hard to listen to
Jesus Christ is my savior and continues to guide me on this path. He gives me peace that surpasses all understanding. As I appreciate all HE has made, it grounds me. There is no other way.
I can't believe that by now there isn't one statue in Canada for Rick Simpson. He is my favorite Canadian.(Even over Gordon Lightfoot). His oil cures 93% of the patients we have treated.
Sound is dreadful.
