Finding Out
" Do you know you
have cancer?" an American Indian Shaman asked me while
we were walking in the desert in 1987. "Yes, that is
possible," I replied. " It had already been told to me
by a perceptive good friend. A third person was to reveal
the same thing within a few months. I really didn't feel
all that bad. Just worn out and tired from all the stress
of a couple of jobs. (In retrospect, in looking at my
own situation and working with many cancer patients at
that time, it seems there is an innate similarity with
cancer patients: that is --- I really did not believe
that this could happen to me. It is a denial of it at
many levels.)It was May, 1988, and I had been asked to
be a guest at an international conference near Prescott,
Arizona as the "First Aid Representative in Natural Healing".
This is where I met Dan. Dan was a lawyer turned chiropractor
because of his extraordinary gift of "feeling vibrational
energy" and the ability to "see" into people's body at
a very early age in his life. He could use his gift "quietly".With
some encouragement from friends, a session with Dan was
arranged. He said, "Lauana, do you know that you have
cancer?" This was the third time!I asked Dan, "I understand
that you have the ability to 'see' into the body. Where
do you see it?" Dan replied. "I see it in the throat,
the breast, and in the liver." He proceeded to tell me
what herbs and vitamins to take that would help.By September,
1988, circumstances began to change. There was pain in
my body and my "world" was falling apart. So much money
was being spent on health products, healing sessions,
etc. there was not money left to pay the rent, so I had
to move. A two-car crash happened and my car was damaged
severely, although neither driver was hurt and I didn't
want to be a burden on my family (who lived out of state
anyway).I began to wonder, where was this cancer coming
from? Was there an emotional stress or mental factor
in me that was creating or manifesting this condition?
Why did I have repeated breast tumors again, and again?
What was happening to me? I started to search for answers.
Causes and Symptoms of Cancer We
all know that cancer has been on an alarming increase
(1 of 3 persons get cancer). We also know how it can
be prevented! According to Jethro Kloss, the author of BACK
TO EDEN, "Cancer has been related to chronic auto-intoxication,
constipation, radiation, inactivity of all the organs
of elimination such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, skin,
and bowels. When there is improper elimination of these
areas they become overloaded with toxins, then the poisons
accumulate around the weakest organs or where the body
has been injured by a blow, fall, or bruise. The poisoning
of the body has been caused by the use of improper foods,
the use of tea, coffee, cola drinks, meat, liquor of
all kinds, and tobacco in all forms. Some theories believe
that a fatty diet is linked to cancer. Fats have been
found to promote breast cancer in mice. Hormones are
known to play a part in breast cancer and the current
suspicion is that fats may over-stimulate hormone production
or disrupt normal hormone balance.""Among the improper
foods also, are meats of all kinds, especially pork,
cane sugar and cane-sugar products; white flour products;
white rice and all denatured foods which cause waste
matter in the system. The life-giving properties and
minerals are removed from much of the food that is
eaten today due to the demineralization of our farmlands.
The life-giving properties of food keep the blood stream
pure, and CANCER WILL NOT DEVELOP WHERE THERE IS A
PURE BLOOD STREAM! (author's bold and caps) Remember,
cancer cannot live in a system where all the mineral
elements are present."Since we Americans drink so much
coffee and soft drinks, let's take a look at what we
are doing to ourselves. (By the way, when I had cancer,
I was drinking between 8-12 cups of coffee a day.)
In an excellent report from the Wellness Center and
Research Group in Portland, Oregon entitled, Effects of Caffeine,
Oxalic Acid and Coffee Oils in Coffee and Cola Drinks,
it states, "Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former head of the Bureau
of Chemistry of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, once
demanded that all cola drinks be labeled 'Poison.' " The
report also states the equally bad affect of coffee
with caffeine, and also the coffee oils, causing a
problem by coating the cell membranes and preventing
nutrient transport into the cell."CANCER STUDY IMPLICATES COFFEE
AGENT", is the headline of an article from United
Press International, Washington, on June 18, 1982,
and states that the results of a two-year study by
the government shows a chemical commonly used in decaffeinated coffee
causes liver cancer in laboratory mice!What are
the symptoms of cancer? Mine was a sense of general
fatigue and stress over a long period of time, which
later developed into pain! Again, Jethro Kloss gives
us a synopsis of some of the various symptoms of
cancer. "Skin cancers
often begin on the face, close to the nose, sometimes
in the middle of the cheek, behind the ear, or below
the ear, and maybe on other parts of the face or neck.
The skin becomes rough and develops into an open sore,
which gets worse and worse. Lip cancer is caused usually
from smoking or from tea drinking. Sometimes cancer comes
inside the mouth."Jethro Kloss adds, "Many cancers start
in the stomach. The victim thinks it is merely indigestion.
As it progresses, there is experienced sharp, cutting
pains. After eating there is great pain and nausea, followed
by vomiting. Often a brown, colored matter is vomited
up. Constipation, sleeplessness, and a feverish condition
are usual. There is a general wasting away, and finally
death. Frequently the cancer is in the rectum, causing
great distress at the stool. Sometimes the liver is cancerous,
causing pain in that region and general debility. Cancer
of the female organs is very prevalent, manifesting itself
in the form of a fibrous tumor, sometimes as a tumor
on the side of the uterus, as a sore on the mouth of
the uterus, or as a cyst in the ovaries. Cancer of the
breast is very common, and there is often cancer of the
female organs when there is cancer of the breast. Frequently
cancer begins in the bowels, or it may appear in any
part of the body. There are also other causes and manifestations
of cancer."I certainly had some of the symptoms: the
constipation, sleeplessness, tumors, and heat emanating
from the breast with sharp, shooting pains. I did a massive
cleaning on myself with detoxing herbs, colonics, carrot
juicing plus other juices, cranial and lymphatic massage,
kneisiology testing for specific remedies, amounts, and
therapies, clay packs, color therapy, frequency therapy,
liver 'flushes', enzyme therapy, mineral therapy, parasite
cleansing, and of course, I did a complete revision of
my diet. It was during one of my colonics that the colon
therapist told me what the cancerous tumors looked like.
She said, "I call the cancerous tumors 'fuzzy-wuzzies'
because they look like dark fuzzy balls with 'feelers'
sticking out from them". When we saw them passing through
the clear colonic tube coming out of my body, I came
'unglued' and literally sobbed. I was seeing it with
my own eyes and could no longer deny it!
Emotional,
Mental, & Spiritual Cancer Causes Parallel
with the physical cleansing, there was an emotional
and mental cleansing, plus some very important
spiritual support (and meditation) that was incorporated
in the program. The emotional cause of the cancer
in my own case was "holding in grief". For others,
it is often repressed anger.Visualization and
imagery also played a part. Dr. Bernie Seigel
(MD), attending surgeon at Yale-New Haven Hospital
and clinical professor of surgery at Yale Medical
School, believes in mind over cancer! According
to an article entitled Mind Over Cancer,
in PREVENTION magazine, March 1988 issue,
his therapy practices include an unconventional
method of using imagery techniques. He says, "Patients
who get well when they are not supposed to are
not having spontaneous remissions. They're experiencing
self-induced healing." He says in the article
that survival of cancer has as much to do with
the mental attitude as the extent of the disease.There
are some wonderful books on positive thinking
related to health. One of them entitled, You
Can Heal Yourself, by Louise Hay, states
the cause of wrong thinking that creates disease
in the body and the affirmations to correct it.
The same book speaks of cancer as the result
of "deep hurt, longstanding resentment. Deep
or secret grief eating away at the self. Carrying
hatreds." She suggests the following affirmation: "I
lovingly forgive and release all of the past.
I choose to fill my world with joy. I love and
approve of myself." She lists the various diseases
with the specific emotional-mental causes. Another
book to check out is: Your Body Believes Every
Word You Say by Barbara Levine.
Environmental Causes
According to the World Health Organization, "it is
estimated that up to 85% of all cancer cases are the
direct result of exposure to environmental factors." (author's
bold). (Taken from a NEWSWEEK article published
January 26, 1976.) The article goes on to state that
cancer may be "a man-made disease."Dr. Samuel S. Epstein,
an environmental toxicologist at Case Western Reserve
University Medical School, states that cancer growth
rates have nearly tripled since 1900, and relates that
it may be due to "the introduction into the universe
of potent chemical agents which are largely untested
for adverse public-health effects." The environmental
factors of cancer producing elements stated in hundreds
of newspaper articles reveal the tremendous amount
of chemicals, radiation, nuclear, ELF waves (extremely
low frequency waves), etc. to which we are exposed
every day.Among the environmental hazards associated
with cancer are chemical and industrial hazards. According
to the New York Times Service, NY in an article in
the Arizona Republic on Friday, October 11, 1974 entitled, Cancer
Epidemics Feared Unless Environmental Substances Are
Controlled, states "that the thousand or more substances
in the environment cause 60 to 90 percent of the nearly
700,000 cases of cancer in the United States each year." That
was in 1974? What about the present day!One of the
biggest sources of chemicals is chlorine in water. "Chlorinated
Water Causes Cancer", is the topic of an article
in Christ is the Answer, October, 1977 issue.
Another source on this subject, Dr. Michael Alavanja,
an assistant professor in Environmental Health and
Epidemiology at Hunter College in New York found in
his study that chlorinated water is a major cause of
cancer throughout the United States. "Those who drink
water in which chlorine has been added run a 44% greater
risk of dying from certain types of cancer than those
who use non-chlorinated water, according to a new U.S.
government funded study." To further substantiate the
hazards of our drinking water, Joseph M. Price, M.D.
has written a book entitled, Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine.
He says that, "tap water is blamed for ½ million
deaths each year in America. An insidious poison in
each glass of the municipal water system responsible
for so much suffering and death in modern time is CHLORINE." Another
substantiation of unsafe drinking water: Ralph Nader's
114 page report of January, 1988 reveals, "In spite
of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, 97 carcinogens,
82 mitagens, 28 acute and chronic toxic contaminants
and 23 tumor promoters have been detected in the U.S.
drinking water since 1974."In my own case of cancer,
I had not focused on the environmental causes until
sometime later. With all the regimen above, the cancer
expelled from my body within four months. It wasn't
until much later that I was made aware of the heavy
toxic chemical and metal load that had broken down
my whole immune system. The testing was done from
three different sources in Las Vegas, in California,
and a separate blood sample sent to a laboratory in
Colorado which resulted in finding a heavy load of
dioxin, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, , chlorine
and copper. (For information on this part of my story,
how I found the right kind of clay to remove the chemicals
and metals, how it works, and much more, ask for the
free article by the author entitled, Simple Clay
Bath Saves $2,000, by Lauana Lei.) I know that
if the metals and chemicals had not been removed, the
cancer would have definitely returned. CHEMICALS AND
METALS ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR UNDERLYING CAUSES OF IMMUNE
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN. I believed in it so much that I have
generated a company to formulate the many different
types of clay baths for detoxification specifically
for assisting in the removal of heavy chemicals and
metals.During our company research, we have compiled
a Chart of Diseases, which correlates the specific
diseases with the specific chemicals and metals that
have caused them. The chart also includes our many
sources of information, wherein we are using both alternative
sources and medical sources like Harvard Newsletter and
the American Medical Association. TheCancer List (from
the Chart of Diseases) for metals and chemicals

The chart of diseases
also
suggests the type of specific clay bath formulas to assist
you in the safest and quickest way that I know of in
removing these toxic metals and chemicals NATURALLY and
inexpensively.Cancer can be your friend? Yes! It was
one of the greatest things that happened to me! It was
a terrific teacher! I learned so many different ways
of healing. My choice was the natural and alternative
way which opened a whole new and fascinating world. The
percentages of survival, in the research that I found,
were far greater with alternative methods than with standard
medical. It is now twelve years later and time and health
have revealed the answers. So many miracles occurred;
a greater trust in the "unknown" and spiritual realms
was gained and many unheard of modalities were experienced.
Since I had nothing to lose --- all of them were tried.
A greater compassion for those who are ill and what they
are going through was gained. Yes, I had to sell my car
to stay alive. Yes, I tried many different things and
some did not work. Yes, the metal and chemical removal
is not the whole answer, but a major one that is often
overlooked! Yes, I did parasite-cleansing, virus cleansing,
etc. along with immune boosting programs. Yes, many times
I wondered if I would survive because of detoxifying
too fast -- and then learning how to neutralize the toxins.
No, it was not always fun. No, it doesn't need to take
forever to get well. But it is most important to know
that THERE ARE ANSWERS. If the desire to get well is
strong enough and there is an ability to be "open" to
other ways of healing, wonderful things can happen. Cancer
taught me that it is an attitude -- not to be feared,
but to know there is a way to address it, like a cold
or flu. We need to cleanse the body, emotions, mind
and spirit, then the body has the magnificent ability
to heal itself. Cancer showed me that there are many levels
to be healed! It can be a friend when a person uses it
as a superb teacher! Just ask, "What is this trying to
teach me?" Lauana Lei is a world traveler, and a published
