&lt;p&gt;The information is priceless, esp where it pertains to the physiological contributing factors to breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bio-mimetic hormone replacement therapy is not even in the same category with Premarin and Prempro found to induce cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is some controversy about TS Wiley&amp;#39;s credentials, but her knowledge is astounding as a medical researcher. As a 59 year old breast cancer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;survivor, I have become a very educated person where it comes to nutritional, sleep patterns and emotional components of this too-common imbalance. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve found that after only 3 months of being on the Wiley protocols, my energy level has dramatically increased, I sleep better, I&amp;#39;ve lost excess weight EASILY&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;since the cravings for sugar and carbs have abated. My bloodwork clearly demonstrates that my calcium is now staying IN my bones, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rather than losing it daily, which has contributed to advanced osteoporosis. I feel stronger and healthier everyday now. Better than in 15 years!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do the reading on the research of generous, REAL healing-motivated doctors &amp;nbsp;like Dr Mercola. They are the real deal, and not the pill-pushers in the pockets of big&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;pharmaceutical companies who actually SUPPRESS the truth for profit. Western medicine is great for emergencies, but often their &amp;quot;cures&amp;quot; lead to far worse imbalances&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in brain/body chemistry. Massage, 8-9 hours a night of sleep, regular relaxation, meditation and gentle but consistent exercise (walking is best!) can offer a return&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to a state of well-being in a way that no synthetic drugs can. Getting back in sync with the natural lunar cycle for women, is the best way to prevent and heal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from the artificial conditions we impose on our bodies. Emotional balance, self-care and a refusal to collude in our own unhappiness are tickets to a better quality of life!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks Dr Mercola, for your great work!&lt;/p&gt;

After a diagnosis of breast cancer in August of 2007, I had a lumpectomy and a lymph node removal. However, when I had my very first chempotherapy infusion, it nearly killed me. Luckily, I have learned to listen to my body, and I then refused any more treatments. Instead I began GNM sessions and have been able to let go of an entire complex of conflicts which contributed to the developement of the cancer and several other medical conditions, notably asthma. Incidentally, the oncological radiation doctor informed me after she had read my file that &amp;quot;It is as if you never had any cancer at all, because of the results of the two surgeries and path lab reports.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;This was BEFORE I had my first GNM session. &amp;nbsp; YET - the oncologist wanted me to continue with poisonous chemotherapy treatments!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I cannot say enough good about GNM and the practitioner who helps me. Would that I were able to convince others in my family to try it for their serious medical conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in July of 07. And before I knew what was happening they had me set up for surgery, chemo and GOD knows what else. I done some research and found some herbs on the net and bought them. Then I found a natural Dr. and have been doing acupuncture and nutrition therapy. The tumor was rather large and is now over half gone. I feel better than I have in years with this program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She was about 16-20 weeks pregnant and feeling VERY sick. &amp;nbsp;She went to a walk-in clinic (Primary Health) and they told her nothing was wrong with her. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her fiance finally took her to a major hospital emergency room because she was so weak. &amp;nbsp;They figured out she had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. &amp;nbsp;Her WBC's were 400,000. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They convinced her that her only chance of survival was to induce labor. &amp;nbsp;Her tiny baby girl lived for 25 minutes in her arms before dying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They drugged her up so she would relax and conserve energy for healing, then pumped her full of chemo/radiation. &amp;nbsp;She never woke up again. &amp;nbsp;Her organs failed, she couldn't breathe on her own, she was on life support. &amp;nbsp;The doctors convinced her family that she wasn't going to make it and they should just &amp;quot;pull the plug&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How can a young vibrant girl walk into an emergency room, get a diagnosis of cancer, and be gone in three weeks????????????? &amp;nbsp;It's devastating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope to get comments on this, the whole family is devastated, as is her fiance and her friends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give me,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's a pretty good website for getting started with familiarizing yourself with Dr. Lee's highly effective work. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.johnleemd.com/"&gt;http://www.johnleemd.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have helped lots and lots of women with breast and other reproductive cancers towards recovering their health by getting them going on this learning. &amp;nbsp;I wish I could get all doctors who have anything to do with this to at least look at this body of knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, for general health education that really makes sense, check this out:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don't see that it helps, and to be honest, there are alternatives that work far better anyway. I switched to using rock crystal (ammonium alum) deodorant a few months ago and it works far better than any of my old, standard-issue aluminium ones anyway!! Plus it's lasting forever, I think one of them will probably see me through the rest of this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there's an alternative and it works, why bother with something that's got the potential to do harm?&lt;/p&gt;
