CancerChange

An empowering community event on Gabriola Island June 3. Click ‘Leave a Comment’ (at left) to post your comments or questions below for discussion at the event.

 

Consulting with doctors and counseling patients and survivors in many countries, I’ve come to see a universal need for reform of medical systems AND reform of how people access them. I’m now starting a new series of community forums in Canada. Stay tuned.

Author and researcher Darren Ballegeer will be facilitating a community discussion in High River, Alberta on February 17. The unique event is designed to empower communities to create a better health reality. Post your questions here for discussion at the event (click on ‘Comment’ at left or on post title above). Some of the questions to be discussed will be: “How can a community create a more successful response to cancer and other disease? What represents true progress in the battle against disease? How can we all live above the fear of disease?” This is your opportunity to add your thoughts and questions to an important community discussion.

“Instead of a battle plan, have a peace plan in which you make peace with your illness and with everyone and everything so that you can have personal peace, which is the state from which you can clearly view things AND allow your healing.” (Cancer Coach, chapter 5)

 

My quest for a solution to my cancer led me to leading-edge thinkers and researchers who are on their own quest to determine the true causes of disease and the true paths for healing. Their work supports my belief that the truth is empowering while the old lies are disempowering but becoming less so. — Darren

“Viewing a situation of cancer as a journey, challenge, or opportunity is much more empowering than viewing it as a battle for survival. At the personal level and societal level, addressing disease as a battle is a negative approach that ignores the true nature of disease and healing. Like life itself, cancer for an individual should be viewed as a journey, not a battle.” – From my new book, Cancer Coach

We see many posts online about conspiracy theories, which contribute to the fear and confusion surrounding disease. Cancer is not a political conspiracy against the people, nor is the lack of a cure. Neither is a conspiracy and we don’t need the promise of a cure – we need healing. We need to heal ourselves, heal our illness. It is mostly (or entirely) within our hands.

 

We had a great response to our first author event for Cancer Coach. People want and need to join a more positive and thoughtful discussion about disease and healing. Look for updates on our book and outreach tour in Canada and the U.S.
