Stress, cancer and electromagnetic therapy – what does the evidence say?

The Living Information Fields Energy (LIFE) System has been accepted as a Class 2A Medical Device, and I have had significant successes using it for many different conditions.

I really appreciate your considered, calm , research based response to the disinformation that keeps poppping up everywhere.

My father had skin cancer in the 1970s. The cancer was removed successfully by all accounts. In 1998 my mother was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. She refused hospital and palliative care and my dad cared for her literally 24/7 as she did not sleep well. He looked like death. She died in June 2000 and in September my dad had a type of fit. In April 2000 he was diagnosed with brain cancer. The consultant said it could easily have been the stress of looking after my mum. I believe this to be the case as coupled with that was his non ability to get decent rest of any kind, unable to eat or get fresh air. Surely would not help?

The way I understood it is that prolonged stress can indeed play a part in hormone related cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. Is it not true that long-term stress causes the over-production of cortisol, which in turn can alter the hormonal balance of the body, allowing eostregen to become dominant and therefore fuelling the growth of hormone dependent cancer cells?

Unfortunately, I doubt this article will get the headlines that Noel Edmonds got. Some people unfortunately listen more to celebrities than people trained and expert in a subject. The sooner we get rid of celebrity endorsement as meaning anything whatsoever, the better.

It also means that a self-serving idiot like Noel Edmonds statements can waste valuable resources where sites like this are having to respond to such drivel whilst at the same time causing distress and concerns for people in genuine need for proper and correct information and support.

I’ve a fair idea of exactly where Noel Edmonds and his ilk should put their uniformed and ignorant opinions- and it’s not in the public’s’ gaze.

Articles like this can cause patients and their families to have false hope that another treatment could work this time. Having lost my eldest son last year to cancer I know how much one pins hope on anything to help give a cure. Charlatans make money from this hope.

I think that celebrities are the last people who should be espousing causes or cures for anything. Many seem to think that because they have the eye of the media that it gives them the right to spout personal superstitions as medical fact when, in truth, they are usually no more informed than the average joe in the street. In fact many of them fall victim to ridiculous beliefs about health practices that can actually be harmful. The press should treat them like any other self styled ‘health practitioner’ with the derision and ridicule they deserve. Vaginal bleaching, anti-vaccination, colonic cleansing, detox smoothies and especially wild claims about cancer cures are a dangerous road into poor self care and avoiding timely medical intervention when it is needed. People go to these quacks for a placebo and thats all they get. The underlying illness still exists and can pass the point where REAL medicine can help them. Illness and disease have scientific causes and only through scientific research will they be cured. Idiots like Noel Edmonds should keep their stupid views to themselves.

It’s good to clarify these reports such as from Noel Edmunds as many people suffering with stress will only worry more especially as there is no evidence. Cancer research and other professional agencies are the only ones we can trust to rid us if this bike disease. Thank you again for explaining

@robert- your link appears to be to a hypotherapist who helps people who have already survived cancer? Not sure how that is related to this article concerning helping to cure people WITH cancer?

@betula- I don’t think you are correct- what exactly is a “cancer prone cell”? There is no chemical we can produce that can determine if a cell is “cancer prone” and act on it specifically!

After having Breast Cancer 10 years ago, I tend to agree with the information given. I do think a positive attitude is very important and can help cancer sufferers. I don’t agree that stress can necessarily cause cancer.

I would be surprised if stress didn’t play a part getting cancer

Sorry, but I think you need to study the work of David Spiegel and his Centre on Stress and Health: http://stresshealthcenter.stanford.edu

Thought that the link between stress and cancer was more complex. Stress related chemicals thought to be acting on the cancer prone cells in a negative way if I remember correctly. It would be useful to read more about it on the blog.
Thank you for the article however.

Does the money we raise for cruk go to any child cancer research??

very important, nice informations..thank
