Oncological diseases pose a serious threat not only to health, but also to life. Over the past 50 years, many famous actors have died from cancer, and half of them are still quite at a young age. This suggests that no one is immune from cancer.

All actors who died of cancer They consulted doctors, underwent examination and treatment, but, unfortunately, medicine turned out to be powerless in the face of a serious illness. Moreover, from the case histories one can see that neither early detection of the disease nor treatment in foreign clinics gives any guarantee that the outcome of the treatment will be positive and the patient will live.

So is it possible to protect yourself from cancer? Or at least reduce the risk of getting cancer to an absolute minimum?

Yes, you can.

According to psychosomatics, any disease - including cancer - is a consequence of an internal thought process that forms a very specific sensory-emotional state. Changing this state through a change in thinking and reactions can either activate the vital forces of the body, or, on the contrary, begin to depress it even more. And if you are in a depressed, depressed, “squeezed out” state for a long time with an innate predisposition to cancer, the chances of its realization can become very high.

Everyone actors who died of cancer, living very different lives, at some point before death should have been united by a very similar sensory-emotional state, which fits into the law of cause and effect - the same consequences correspond to the same causes. Identifying such emotional states and changing them may well be a way to prevent cancer.

Changing these emotional states after diagnosis and treatment has begun can make the treatment process more successful. After all, it is known that complex treatment, aimed not only at eliminating the symptoms, but also directly at the causes of the disease, is always more effective than just dealing with the consequences. And cancer as a physical phenomenon, a tumor, is without a doubt a consequence of a more hierarchical process - a malfunction in the immune and other systems of the body.
