Petra's Healing Journey

So!

I think I can say with some degree of certainty that my tumour is getting smaller! 🥳

I have now checked this with my naturopath guru Claire, who is the only other person who has had a good grope of my tit, and she agrees it’s smaller. I’m buying a caliper measuring tool so I can monitor it a little bit more scientifically than just having a good grope 😆

At this moment in time I am sitting in front of my computer with a red light and a castor oil pack on my boob.

Castor oil is one of those things that has disappeared into the background in recent years and viewed by many as an old fashioned ‘old wives tale’ remedy of yesteryear. It was held in very high regard by the ancient Egyptians, in medieval Africa, and also in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

In recent times it is known mostly for its cosmetic use and is incorporated into a lot of hair and skincare products, though its capabilities go far beyond this, as I have been discovering.

One thing about being your own doctor, it necessitates a lot of reading and learning, and I feel like I’m on an incredible journey of discovery. I feel like I’m doing a crash course diploma in cancer naturopathy! Maybe, after my WordPress webinar this week I will be tech-savvy enough to make myself a certificate to put on the wall! 😌

If you google castor oil online, and its relation to treating cancer, you will find a lot of articles stating that there is no scientific evidence to suggest the castor oil can effectively contribute to treating cancer.

Likewise if you google fenbendazole, or ivermectin, or methylene blue, you will find similar posts.

These medicines are very cheap to produce and are very safe when taken in an informed way. There is no profit for pharmaceutical companies in these medicines as they can’t be patented. Taking that fact into consideration, there is no incentive to fund studies in the efficacy of these medicines in the treatment of cancer. Cancer is a multi-million pound business, and as I’ve probably mentioned before, the pharmaceutical companies fund all the medical research, and they will only fund research that will benefit their profit margins. They aren’t gonna profit from people curing cancer with cheap medicines, so don’t hold your breath waiting for clinical studies on castor oil, or ivermectin, or methylene blue (which I have discovered this week was the first ever pharmaceutical known to man!), which is not only effective in the treatment of cancer, but also, depression, Alzheimer’s, autism, Parkinson’s, malaria, heart disease, pain and overdose!

But back to castor oil.. it seems that castor oil can penetrate extremely deeply. It is capable of breaking up gall stones, kidney stones as well as tumours and cysts.

Castor oil packs are easy and comfortable to wear. Barbara O’Neil is a great advocate of castor oil packs, and if you have any cysts in your breasts, or polycystic ovaries, I would recommend give them a go.

Through trial and error, I have now swapped the cling film in the video above for a bra made out of a compostable food waste bag 😆 Advice given to me from a fellow breast cancer warrior, a lady from New Zealand who has also opted not to have surgery and is waging a loving war on her tumour. (I say loving because at the end of the day, these cells are part of us, and it is our decision to heal ourselves). Viewing these cells as the enemy brings an element of negativity to the situation, which I don’t feel is helpful.

Love is the answer to everything 🩷

There is an amazing man I’m following, Dr Thomas Seyfried, who explains why the Ketogenic diet I am on is perfect for treating cancer. Cancer cells don’t feed on oxygen like healthy cells, they ferment rather than ‘breathe’, and so they feed on sugar and carbs. The Ketogenic diet cuts off their food source and so they starve. If we can cut off it’s food source for long enough the fermentation process will stop, and the cells will die.

I find it disturbing that neither of the oncologist consultants I have seen during this process know anything about this or the effect of diet on cancer. When I asked my consultant if changing my diet would be beneficial, she replied that ‘some people think you should avoid soy’. I couldn’t believe my ears.

To say it’s worrying that the ‘experts’ know less about my condition than I do, is a wild understatement. Doctors should make it their business to study these things and be abreast of these developments, but it seems their studying ends when they leave medical school and begin practicing. I can’t help feeling they are more like salesmen than care-givers, told what drugs to prescribe and what treatments to offer. I’m sure most of the medical profession go into it with a passion to help people, but in reality, the pressure they are under alone, makes the quality of care they provide fall sadly short.

My best friend was telling me the other day that her friend, a GP, handed in their resignation as they felt their job was too unethical to continue to practice.

Full Disclosure

During my last hospital appointment, scheduled out of the blue, without my knowledge, (touched on briefly in my last post), I was appalled at my treatment by the consultant oncologist I saw. I wish I had recorded the consultation, although I daresay she wouldn’t have said the things she did if I had been recording it.

She drew a diagram of my tumour, and said that at the top and the bottom of the tumour was an area of high grade DCIS, but in between them there was probably invasive cancer, and she went on to say that this invasive cancer wouldn’t be Stage 1 or Stage 2, it would be Stage 3, and her exact words were, ‘we know this for a fact’. Which is impossible. I have not had a biopsy taken from the middle of my tumour, so there is no conceivable way she can know ANYTHING about the centre of my tumour for a fact.

I had an overwhelming feeling that I was being coerced and lied to. From there she went on to tell me that the last patient she had who treated her cancer using alternative treatment is dead, and that my daughter would be growing up without a mother if I didn’t have surgery, and I should think about that rather than being on a ‘crusade’.

She asked where I was getting my information from and when I told her about the research I was doing and how many women I was in touch with who have treated their cancer using alternative treatments, and been cancer free for years, this seemed to annoy her.

I can only conclude by what she said and how she said it, that she was trying to scare me into having surgery.

Before I had a chance to challenge her on what she said about my tumour, or ask her to examine my lump, her phone rang asking her to go to theatre.

Third Opinion

I called the hospital yesterday and made enquiries about getting a third opinion. While my original consultant seemed to be quite understanding and seemingly supportive, she refused to examine my lump in the position where you can feel it in it’s entirety, ie all the way around it (it’s like a slightly squashed egg shape). She said that’s not how they do things 🤨

During her initial examination, she struggled to feel the lump at all. She actually said she probably wouldn’t have found it if she had examined me, which I don’t think I would admit if I was a cancer expert, considering how big my lump is!

I think it’s important that my consultant is familiar with my tumour, so I have asked for a third opinion. I’m expecting a call back this week. If I am granted a third opinion, I will voice my concerns about my last appointment, as I don’t think it’s okay for a consultant to lie to me, or try and scare me into having surgery. It’s my body at the end of the day, and I absolutely believe I have every right to choose how to heal myself. It’s not as if I’m going to blame the NHS if my chosen course of treatment fails, I take full responsibility for myself, so what’s her motivation for lying? It’s unethical at best, and more likely that their motivation is that of profit than concern for my welfare.

This video illustrates my standpoint.. (go to 9:30 minutes in and listen for 90secs)

Any faith I had in the NHS went flying out of the window during the course of the pandemic. The small number of doctors who took it upon themselves to prescribe Ivermectin for the early treatment of covid were either struck off or threatened that they would lose their medical licenses if they didn’t stop prescribing it. The few people that spoke out about how ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were effective in early treatment for covid, were either cancelled or their names were dragged through the mud. It was obvious that the motivation behind that was that the pharmaceutical companies wanted everyone to take the vaccines, which made them countless billions in profits. There have been more deaths and injuries from the covid vaccines than all of the other vaccines in human history combined.

I know that the NHS is full of wonderful people, who are committed to providing the best possible standard of care for their patients, but unfortunately they are not the people in control. The people in control of the NHS are profit orientated, and sadly don’t give two hoots about our health, in fact they profit from our ill health. If we were well, their profits would plummet.

The pandemic resulted in the biggest transfer of wealth in human history. It is morally wrong for ANYONE to profit from an international disaster, let along the wealthiest people on the planet. If we actually lived in a democratic society, we would surely have scrapped this system a long time ago, as it really doesn’t serve the common people. We are working our asses off for minimum wage, generating profit for the upper echelons of society. The system only really serves the people in power.

Ready for a Revolution

It’s something like 1% of the population that controls 95% of the wealth.

So that’s good news for us as it means we outnumber them drastically!

I feel utterly justified in redressing that balance. I’m poised and ready for a revolution.

It’s not right that these people are swanning around in their superyachts, while people like me and the other woman I’m encountering on this journey, are scrabbling around for the money to pay for treatments for cancer, which would cost the NHS very little to provide, but costs us loads as they make it really difficult for us to get.

Cancer is caused by the toxic environment they have created around us, and the shit tons of carcinogens in our food. Mercury and microplastics in all the fish, there are microplastics in the ground soil, it’s in our organic spinach for heavens sake, what hope do we have?!

As I said in my first post, the war against cancer has been lost, it’s a war on carcinogens we need. Sugar should be outlawed as a dangerous drug. It’s as addictive and harmful as cocaine. It should be illegal to put harmful chemicals in our food. Children should be taught how to meditate in schools, and how to grow their own food. If we pooled our resources and worked together in communities we could build a very different world and live in harmony with nature and with each other. I find it incredible that wars are still happening in this day and age, surely we have evolved far enough to rise above such things?

It’s high time we looked towards coming together and embracing and celebrating our differences, as at the end of the day, we are all the same deep down, eternal souls, having a human experience 🩷
