Dying To Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True HealingIn this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down—overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks—without a trace of cancer in her body! Within these pages, Anita recounts stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. As part of a traditional Hindu family residing in a largely Chinese and British society, Anita had been pushed and pulled by cultural and religious customs since she was a little girl. After years of struggling to forge her own path while trying to meet everyone else’s expectations, she had the realization, as a result of her epiphany on the other side, that she had the power to heal herself . . . and that there are miracles in the Universe that she’d never even imagined. In Dying to Be Me, Anita freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, “being love,” and the true magnificence of each and every human being! This is a book that definitely makes the case that we are spiritual beings having a human experience . . . and that we are all One! From the Author Afterword Before I close, I'd like to leave you with a few final words. Always remember not to surrender your power--instead, get in touch with your own magnificence. When it comes to finding the right path, there's a different answer for each person. The only universal solution I have is to love yourself unconditionally and be yourself fearlessly! This is the most important lesson I learned from my NDE, and I honestly feel that if I'd always known this, I never would have gotten cancer in the first place. When we're true to ourselves, we become instruments of truth for the planet. Because we're all connected, we touch the lives of everyone around us, who then affect others. Our only obligation is to be the love we are and allow our answers to come from within in the way that's most appropriate for us. Finally, I can't stress enough how important it is to enjoy yourself and not take yourself or life too seriously. One of the biggest flaws with many traditional spiritual systems is that they give you such a somber outlook. Although you know that I abhor creating doctrines, if I ever had to create a set of tenets for a spiritual path to healing, number one on my list would be to make sure to laugh as often as possible throughout every single day--and preferably laugh at myself. This would be hands down over and above any form of prayer, meditation, chanting, or diet reform. Day-to-day problems never seem as big when viewed through a veil of humor and love. In this age of information technology, we're bombarded with news seemingly at the speed of light. We're living in an age of high stress and fear, and in the midst of trying to protect ourselves from everything we think is "out there," we've forgotten to enjoy ourselves and to take care of what's inside.

Sometimes before we can heal we have to forgive. That includes forgiving ourselves and loving ourselves first. Back in my new age days I heard that over and over.

Is your cardiologist KILLING you? Mind-blowing interview with Dr. Jack Wolfson reveals dangerous, dark secrets of cardiology Monday, November 20, 2017 by: Mike Adams www.thedrswolfson.com/(Natural News) You’re about to hear some mind-blowing information that mainstream cardiologists either don’t know or won’t tell you. We recently sat down to interview Dr. Jack Wolfson, D.O., author of The Paleo Cardiologist and founder of The DrsWolfson clinic in Arizona. Dr. Wolfson is without a doubt the coolest cardiologist on the planet. Not only does he know he stuff, he and his wife created a jaw-dropping end-of-the-world survival trailer video featuring his young son breastfeeding during the apocalypse. No joke. See the trailer, below… (yeah, it’s pretty much the best video trailer ever). It’s called the “Fighting Healthy Documentary Series,” by the way, and features his wife, Dr. Heather Wolfson. We invited Dr. Wolfson to our Austin studio for a face-to-face interview, and he didn’t disappoint. We’ve got three video interviews ready to publish with Dr. Wolfson, and the first one, shown below, asks the question, “Is your cardiologist KILLING you?” Watch this amazing interview and you’ll learn why your cardiologist may be giving you truly bad information that could compromise your heath and even contribute to your death. This is a must-see interview for anyone who wants to protect their heart health and improve their longevity. Here’s the full interview: www.naturalnews.com/2017-11-20-is-your-cardiologist-killing-you-mind-blowing-interview-with-dr-jack-wolfson.html

I have to admit I know little about Marijuana, never tried it but have considered CBD (for neuropathic pain) which is a cannabinoid in the THC family but different. I have used the CBD for some pets with cancer and I don't really know if it gave them relief or not before they died. The below article is in relation to smoking it and I am not sure if the same applies to using the chemicals instead. If it does you may want to consider these warnings if you are in any of the risk groups. You may be robbing Peter to pay Paul and could end up worse off.
Horrible Side Effects of Marijuana That People Never Talk About Julia Mullaney December 19, 2017
Heart and stroke risk
Marijuana can have health benefits, but people with heart problems need to be extra careful | iStock/Getty Images While it’s easy to picture a marijuana user mellowing out as they wish, marijuana can raise a heart rate by 20% to 100% shortly after smoking, and the effect can last up to 3 hours, according to Live Science and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This may raise the risk of heart attack.
“A 2017 study by the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia found that those who used marijuana were 26 percent more likely to have a stroke than those who did not use marijuana,” explains Live Science. “Those studied were also 10 percent more likely to have developed heart failure.”
Next: This side effect could appear by middle age.
Memory loss

In 2016, JAMA Internal Medicine published a study confirming that those who practiced long-term, daily marijuana use had poorer verbal memory in their middle age compared to those who didn’t smoke. The study considered “long term” to mean five years or more. The researchers examined 3,400 people’s habits over a 25-year period. Everyone in the group took a cognitive skills test at the end of the study period, which determined the results. Legalization of marijuana across the United States may result in more people smoking the drug daily for long periods of time.
Next: Not all marijuana consumption is the same.
Lung irritation

Although there is no conclusive evidence that marijuana causes lung cancer, it does create a series of respiratory problems in frequent users, such as a prolonged cough, airway inflammation, and wheezing. According to the University of Washington’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute, marijuana smoke contains harmful chemicals that are in similar range to those in tobacco smoke. Since marijuana requires a deeper inhalation than cigarettes, it leaves about five times the carbon monoxide concentration and three times the tar in the respiratory tract compared to cigarettes.
Next: This next illness can cause delusions and hallucinations
Schizophrenia

Various studies on the effects of marijuana have been done through the years, but NBC recently reported that one potential risk of the drug is a serious one — mental illness. Marijuana can increase one’s risk of developing schizophrenia. This illness causes delusions, hallucinations, and unclear thinking, and greatly affects one’s ability to function properly. The drug can also increase depression and social anxiety, according to the same study. Those who use marijuana heavily are also more likely to be suicidal.
Next: Can marijuana really lower testosterone and sperm count?
Low testosterone levels

Some studies have shown that chronic cannabis use can result in lower testosterone levels, and even a lower sperm count. Doctors have agreed that it’s very plausible that chronic marijuana use can lower testosterone. However, researchers cannot draw a completely factual conclusion until they complete several more studies. Low levels can also result in something called gynecomastia, which is caused by a hormone imbalance between testosterone and estrogen levels in men.
Next: This side effect can last longer than most people think.
Slowed reaction time

Driving while high may seem like an obvious no, but impaired reaction time can last much longer than the high. “Visual perception and motor speed may be impaired not only while you smoke, but for up to 28 days afterward,” Marina Goldman, an addiction expert from University of Pennsylvania’s Addiction Treatment Center, told Philadelphia magazine. Slowed reaction time means that an oncoming vehicle can pose a greater danger; there could be a delay in perception time and appropriate reaction time.
Next: You need to know how marijuana edibles affect people differently.
Exposure to dangerous potencies

Today, marijuana products are much stronger than they used to be. Edible products tend to have a potency that is up to 10 times higher than that of a traditional joint, according to Steven Wright, a pain and addiction medicine specialist in Denver. Wright told USA Today that since edibles’ effects take up to an hour to set in — unlike joints, which reach the brain in just seconds — people end up consuming far more than they intended, which can cause more harm than the drug in its traditional form.
Next: You don’t always get the munchies.
Loss of appetite

Everyone knows marijuana can trigger a case of the munchies, but some users complain they find their appetite disappears when they aren’t using the drug.
“I find that I don’t have much of an appetite any more unless I am stoned,” wrote Reddit user oz24. “[T]hinking about eating sober gave me nausea. [Probably] the worst part of all the side effects,” echoed user newmilwaukee.
Scientists who study the relationship between marijuana and appetite have discovered that a component of the drug appears to activate hormones that produce hunger, but it’s not clear what effect that might have on a person’s desire to eat when they weren’t high. A separate study found that people who smoked weed at least three times per week were skinnier than people who didn’t use marijuana, but why that is the case isn’t clear.
Next: Science says the relationship between marijuana use and paranoia isn’t a myth.
Paranoia

Tales of pot-induced paranoia aren’t unusual. “I smoked weed for about 6-7 years and eventually had to quit entirely because I became SUPER anxious, paranoid and self-conscious,” one Reddit user recounted. “fter about 3/4 years of semi heavy use the high just changed now it just sends me loopy with bouts of anxiety and paranoia and just completely over thinking every aspect of my life until I can put a negative spin on it,” wrote blue_skies.
Science says the relationship between marijuana use and paranoia isn’t a myth. A 121-person study conducted at the University of Oxford found that people were more likely to experience paranoid thoughts after ingesting THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, than those who took a placebo. The drug also triggered negative thoughts about the self and lowered mood.
“There’s certainly evidence that if you use cannabis — particularly when you’re young — and you use it a lot, that this can put you at risk for later problems,” professor Daniel Freeman, who led the study, told WebMD. But paranoia isn’t an inevitable side effect of smoking weed, he added. “f you have greater confidence in yourself, you improve your self-esteem, and if you try not to worry or ruminate about potential threats in the world … then the effects of the THC should hopefully be less capable of inducing paranoia.”
Next: Marijuana itself has never caused a fatal overdose, but …
Really bad decision making
Take it slow with marijuana use, especially edibles| Frederic J. Brown/AFP/Getty Images
While marijuana isn’t the only substance to help cause bad decision making, it highlights the importance of self-control and responsibility.
Medical experts and the Drug Enforcement Agency agree that marijuana has never caused a fatal, toxic overdose. However, there have been a few reports of excessive marijuana use leading to other fatal decisions, as was the case in March 2014 when a 19-year-old college student jumped off of a balcony after ingesting five times the recommended amount of marijuana.

Bio hacking may be the wave of the future for health. We have talked about the importance of gut health in curing Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases. An Experiment in Biohacking: Director Kate McLean on the SXSW Short, Gut Hack Gut Hack by Kate McLean in Directing, Filmmaking, SXSW, SXSW Features on Mar 11, 2017 biohacking, Gut Hack, Josiah Zayner, Kate McLean and Mario Furloni, Short Film, SXSW Film Festival 2017 filmmakermagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Mildred-Pierce-13.jpg Last year, a friend asked me to come to an event about synthetic biology. I’m a documentary filmmaker, and I suspected the evening was going to be a bit over my head, but she was speaking and I wanted to show support. When I arrived, the speakers were a mix of academics, industry types, enthusiasts and scientists. I began to prepare myself in for a night of polite nodding and drinking as a man from a biotech company took the microphone to present some kind of recruitment talk about his company. Then, back near the bar, someone started to boo the speaker. The guy had a mohawk, a bunch of piercings and a pint of beer. “Biohack the planet,” he shouted. I knew immediately that I wanted to talk to him. The guy was Josiah Zayner, a scientist who was then working at NASA, doing experiments on bacteria to make it more useful for space travel. That night, over several beers, he told me he was about to leave NASA to start a company in his apartment. He was doing it because he wanted to experiment freely, without the constraints of academia, which he appeared to revile. He called himself a biohacker. Josiah and I talked a lot about bacteria that night. For years I have been obsessed with the unique ecosystems of bacteria that live on and in humans, which are called the human microbiome. Scientists are just starting to understand the role that microbial communities might play in our digestion, obesity, skin health, and more. It’s a deep and strange subject that I think reorients the sense of self in an interesting way. Think about it. Your experience of the world is not just the product of you as an individual. It’s also the product of your unique collection of microorganisms. Anyway, in the middle of this trippy conversation, talk turned to an experiment Josiah was contemplating. Would it be possible to completely eradicate the ecosystem of bacteria living in and on his body and replace it with someone else’s? Josiah had long suffered from digestive issues and wondered if this might provide relief. Also, he was curious what would happen. His plan was to check himself into a hotel and DIY the whole thing. He would take antibiotics to kill as much of his original microbiome as possible. Then he would use bacterial samples from a donor (including saliva, skin cultures and feces) to recolonize his body with the new ecosystem of microorganisms. I asked, “Can I film this?” To my surprise, Josiah said yes. As the experiment approached, I began to worry about Josiah’s safety. Taking large amounts of antibiotics puts people at risk of dangerous infections such as Clostridium difficile. I also learned that if Josiah ingested poop that had not been screened for pathogens, he could potentially get a serious illness. Josiah and I had a conversation about what warning signs I should look for if he became ill, so that we could stop filming and get him to the hospital. I wondered if my presence as a filmmaker was encouraging him to take risks that he would not otherwise. We talked about it, and he told me he would do the experiment with or without me there. With a little trepidation, I decided to go forward with the filming. I brought in my film partner, Mario Furloni, to shoot and co-direct. We recruited our collaborator Laura Heberton to produce the film, and convinced our talented friend Sara Newens to edit our footage in to a movie. With our team in place, Mario and I then spent a surreal week with Josiah and a mason jar of human shit. Spoiler: Josiah didn’t die. In fact, he’s fine, and just about a year after he concluded his experiment, our short film Gut Hack is premiering at SXSW. The move is our attempt to share Josiah’s grueling and grotesque ordeal and communicate how it felt to behold this weird period of his life: alternately full of wonder, disgust, anxiety, excitement, exhaustion and awe. At the end of the day, I hope the audience is entertained, intellectually engaged and horrified in equal measure. And I hope they won’t try anything like this at home. Kate McLean and Mario Furloni, primarily doc filmmakers, are working on their first narrative dramatic feature, Freeland, for which they have received much support from the San Francisco Film Society and the Kenneth Rainin Foundation. Kate also is a doc producer and Mario a cinematographer. Their first collaboration was the short doc Pot Country, on which Freeland is based, in part. Among other projects they have worked on is the documentary about Bill Nye (“the Science Guy”), also premiering at SXSW this weekend, by the directing team of Jason Sussberg and David Alvarado.

Be wary of implants and other unproven medical devices. Are Implanted Medical Devices Creating A 'Danger Within Us'? January 17, 2018·3:10 PM ET Heard on Fresh Air Dave Davies Fresh Air ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/fa/2018/01/20180117_fa_01.mp3?orgId=427869011&topicId=1135&d=2179&p=13&story=578562873&dl=1&siteplayer=true&dl=1Medical journalist Jeanne Lenzer warns that implanted medical devices are approved with far less scrutiny and testing than drugs. As a result, she says, some have caused harm and even death. DAVE DAVIES, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies in for Terry Gross who's off this week. Our guest Jeanne Lenzer is a former physician's associate who worked for years in emergency rooms until medical studies showed a treatment she and others used for chest pain was actually causing deadly heart rhythms. Her search to understand what went wrong led her to a new career as an investigative medical journalist. Her new book is about the potential dangers of the millions of medical devices implanted in our bodies - artificial joints, cardiac stents, surgical mesh and pacemakers, among many others. Lenzer says medical devices are approved with far less scrutiny than drugs, and many high-risk devices go to market without clinical trials. Lenzer writes about several devices that have proved problematic. And her book focuses in some detail on a treatment for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. An electrical device is implanted in the patient's body that sends regular impulses to the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain down through the neck, chest and abdomen. A review of clinical studies by the Cochrane collaborative found the vagus nerve stimulator effective in reducing seizures for people whose epilepsy does not respond well to drugs or for whom surgery is not a good option. The Cochrane review also found that more studies needed on the effectiveness and side effects of VNS therapy. Lenzer says there's reason to believe the VNS device can cause deadly cardiac symptoms, and that it's been approved with virtually no research on how many patients implanted with VNS die. Jeanne Lenzer is a longtime contributor to The BMJ, formerly the British Medical Journal, and her writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic and other publications. Her new book is "The Danger Within Us." Well, Jeanne Lenzer, welcome to FRESH AIR. Do we know how often medical treatments cause problems and harm people - essentially, the cure becoming the cause of injury? listen to her answers: ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/fa/2018/01/20180117_fa_01.mp3?orgId=427869011&topicId=1135&d=2179&p=13&story=578562873&siteplayer=true&dl=1 end of pg.3
