ABOUT COURAGE

About Courage

Photo - Courageous acts and courageous people take many different forms. Are you one of them?

This was a difficult chapter to write, mostly because I could not decide should it be first and at the top of the website, last and at the bottom, or somewhere in between?

I finally decided it didn't matter, so long as anyone coming to study this site saw this and was able to understand all that is encompassed in dealing with disease, particularly if you are going to accept any or all of the responsibility for treating it.

I mentioned earlier that no single condition strikes more fear in the hearts of patients than hearing someone tell you or someone you dearly love you have cancer. For that instant, life stands completely still, just for a split instant in time, and then all sorts of thoughts rush into your mind an momentarily overwhelm even the strongest among us.

What am I going to do? Is it really true? How can I make decisions. I can't catch my breath. Will I have to have surgery? Am I going to die? And what is all this going to cost? And will it hurt? And, and, and...

I had a letter from a reader awhile ago I want to share with you, because it addresses not only those questions, but so much more of what have tried to provide at this site.

From the email bag, a reader has written:

Dear Dr. Berger,

My daughter was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in 2006. She has had NO allopathic treatment. In March of this year we purchased a "Blue Light" plasma unit. The doctor had her doing 6 hours of blue light therapy daily with the tube laying on her breasts or right underneath. We noticed that every month her white blood cells were steadily decreasing. They finally got down to 2.8 and we stopped using the Blue Light. Two weeks later they were back up to 4.99. Still low, but about what they've been since her diagnosis. Is it possible that [frequency] therapy has contributed to the decrease of white blood cells? And, are you familiar with the Blue Light unit?

I wrote back:

Let me honor both you and your daughter on your courage to travel the route of alternative therapy. I understand that when you are out there alone, taking the responsibility so many of us rush to throw off to our doctors, it can get scary. This is especially true when something negative happens that causes you to "second guess" decisions you have made.

A number of things can cause the white blood cell count to drop, such as infections and viral-induced autoimmune disorders. But it is human nature for us to jump to the worst possible conclusions, so we jump and think about bone marrow diseases or leukemia.

Instead, let's start simple. Let's assume, at least for the time being, that it is the blue light, rather than some dreaded condition, that is responsible. After all, we know over-stimulation of the immune system can destroy white blood cells. Perhaps six hours of therapy each day is too aggressive and is stimulating just such a response.

About "Second Guessing":

When white counts get down or below 2,500, the risk of serious infection sharply increases. Since your daughter was approaching this range, the decision to stop the Blue Light Therapy was a wise one, the correct one. Good for you!

As for the "Blue Light", I know nothing about it. If you will give me a bit more information about the device, perhaps I can find out more to help you. Let's see if changing the way you are using it will preserve the good it has been doing. No one wants to lose ground when you are fighting cancer.

Best regards, Dr. S. N. Berger

One of my hopes in constructing this site is to provide the information you need about frequency devices. It may turn out that the Blue Light Plasma Machine is the answer to everyone's prayer. Perhaps just the opposite, and it will prove worthless or even harmful. But until this site came along, there was nowhere you could go to get answers that were not at least somewhat tinged by monetary concerns of those selling equipment.

And after you have bought an instrument, or attempted one or another of the alternative therapies, where can you find answers if something goes wrong? I ardently hope you can find help here.

Another item on my "wish list" is to be able to assemble enough case histories so I and others can offer substantiated advice to you and everyone else seeking help. To date, there are simply too many areas in which we have no information to accurately explain many of the things we encounter in treatment, such as a drop in white blood cells.

Finally, I would dearly love to be able to offer meaningful psychological support to anyone using frequency or other alternative techniques. All of us are sort of naked, surrounded by a swarm of nay-sayers. They constantly tell us how stupid we are, how dumb we are, how silly we are to try the things we do in the quest for more natural healing.

They are wrong, and we need all the courage we can muster to stand and tell them so.

I hope each of us can summon the courage to reject that type of thinking that says we can go on doing whatever we like to our Internal Environment (our bodies) or our Exernal Environment (our planet Earth) and not have to worry about the consequences.

We may not be able to change the world, but we will never know if we don't try to at least change ourselves. That takes courage.
