… but using the power of meditation (here is a link to the 3 Hour Meditation Seminar on 2 DVDs at an especially reduced price) and our own mind is certainly powerful and worth tapping into not only for healing assistance but for inner peace and handling many of life’s challenges and issues.

Many times he has said, in slightly different ways, ‘I have realised the power of the mind is incredibly important to your general wellbeing and the ability of the human body to fight disease.  I don’t know why doctors find this so hard to accept but they do.  I think a lot of patients have done well not because I’ve operated on them, but because I’ve offered them hope and I’ve given them something to be positive about.  It can’t just be the surgery because anybody can do the surgery I do.  They all leave in a very positive frame of mind: “We’re going to beat this.”  I encourage that and I nurture it and I think it’s instrumental.  I think I have gained more understanding of the mind and the power of the mind not through looking at the brain, but through the dealings with my patients.’ 

Charlie’s holistic philosophy is simple, logical and refreshing, but many doctors still find it unprofessional.  He encourages his patients to exercise, follow a healthy diet, meditate, remain positive and, if they have religious beliefs, to pray.  He also recommends surgery, sometimes repeatedly over many years, on tumours that others have declared inoperable or the operation pointless because the patient was going to die anyway. 

Critics in the profession say Charlie gives false hope to hopeless cases with his pep talks and rush to operate.  He argues that those surgeons often abandon patients when it is possible to save some and give many others more time, comfort and support.  He makes it clear that a malignant tumour will ultimately prove fatal but that is no reason not to fight. 

‘While there’s quality of life, there’s hope,’ he says.  If people aren’t willing to die, I will certainly not condemn them to a death sentence.  People I’ve operated on that really should have died within six months, a lot of them are still alive and a lot survived two, three, four years.  If you can give someone six months extra … who knows?  The cure might be right around the corner. 

Dr Teo is one of a growing handful of doctors who now suggest that amongst other things, meditation and positive thought could be beneficial in a person’s healing and  that meditation probably helps to boost the immune system.

Dr Sternberg is internationally recognized for her discoveries of the mind-body interaction in illness and healing, including immune system interactions and the brain's stress response in susceptibility to arthritis and other diseases, including depression. Here is a link to my CD Moving Through Depression Meditation or here is the same meditation as an Instant Download. She has written books on this subject and if you google her name you will be able to read more about this amazing woman.
