To have the understanding of cancer, first of all,

LEARNING ABOUT CANCER

To have the understanding of cancer, first of all, we'll define a new concept of the body. As you know, everyone has his/her own soul, ego, mind, and central nervous system. However, the mind is actually not the master of the body, and many other minds coexist and cooperate with it. For example, the nervous system controls the heart or the intestines automatically; the mind makes a dream, etc. We cannot manage all of our minds, and each of them seems somewhat independent of us. That is why Buddha said there is not a real ego. The mind and body are made up of many things.

Also, every cell, every organ such as the heart, liver, lungs, etc. has its/their own mind, though it seems to be submitting to the central one. This is our new concept.

Here are some examples: a headless chicken still lived in a period, a decapitated snake could wiggle, or an arm was even alive if it still had blood after being removed from the body. If you realize that each of your organs has it own mind/consciousness, you understand a bit more about your body. This is new to you, right?

And what has a mind has emotions.
Emotions include love, hate, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, and a desire for BREAKAWAY.
A breakaway body part will cause cancer.

The cells of this body part do not develop in accordance with the general rule - they do whatever they wish and with hostility towards the master, the body carrying them. These cells will secrete a substance that causes pain to the body and scramble for its life. If they cannot be dealt, there will be more and more rebellious cells, and together, they will kill the body master.

But what makes cells rebellious?
And how to end this rebellion and put these cells back to the normal growth in accordance with the general rule of the body?

There are two kinds of reaction when a part of the body receives mistreatment. One is non-cooperation, that is, it won't work anymore, causing failure of something. The other is rebellion, causing pain to the body.
Liver failure or the liver has tumors; the lung drainage or has tumors, muscle weakness or muscle has tumors; blood deficiency or leukocytosis are examples of reaction to mistreatment to the body.
The abnormal reaction of a body part is sometimes caused by internal causes, sometimes by external ones.

Internal causes can be:

• Contaminated food
• Toxic substance from polluted environment infiltrates into the body through respiration or skin (soaking in a bathtub for a long time is also the case because soap is a chemical, too).
• Excessive nutritious food
• Inhale tobacco smoke or gases containing toxic chemicals
• Force some body part to overwork
• Long-term psychological stress affects the body parts involved (e.g., thyroid gland)
• One's malice also provokes the rebellion of one's body parts

In fact, most internal causes are also external ones since what we eat/drink are from outside. Only one's malice is totally "inside" and results from past lives. The external cause is spirituality. Because of karmic debt, one is pursued by spirits of animals, and they choose a body part to cling to. These spirits have their minds, so finally they succeed in convincing that body part to rebel, causing a tumor(s) there. In this case, a body part was enticed and betrays the body.

When a body part severely responded to the body, it's very hard to calm it down. For example, excessive nutritious food makes some body parts rebel, and when it happens, dieting is not likely to ease its "psychology." You see, when the problem happens, it's very difficult to put it back to the normal state.

And what makes you force your some organs to overwork deserve your more attention.

Above I talked that each of body parts has its own mind and that is our new concept. Later on, I will talk about the body’s potential energy mechanism. Oriental medicine exploits it and can cure many diseases.

Oriental doctors found that headache is due to all the invisible force was temporarily going up to the brain, so one having a headache is often had acupunctured at a special point under his knee since it has the function of temporarily pulling down the invisible force. That’s all.

These concepts are very abstract, so they haven’t been researched yet. But sooner or later, Medicine will study it. In Physics, many invisible things have been discovered. Radio-electromagnetic waves, X-rays, neutrinos, gravitational waves, and so forth are of these things.

Each person has his own blessing, hence his own invisible force. This invisible force regulates the body’s activities and controls the rebellion of organs.

Both inhaled the same poisonous smoke, but one had cancer, while the other didn't. Both ate contaminated foods, but one just vomited and felt dizzy, while the other had cancer. Both have been clung to by dead spirits, but one had cancer, while the other had only pain. Both are aggressive, but one had cancer, while the other didn't.

The strong invisible force also helps to suppress, control, and prevent body part's rebellion which causes cancer.

Some statistical studies show that exercising regularly helps one reduce the risk of cancer because exercise strengthens the invisible force of the body.

Some herbal remedies also help suppress the rebellion of organs to cure cancer. Radiation therapy uses radiation to destroy cancer cells but also contaminates the body. Radiation is also a cause of cancer. Chemotherapy is the use of toxic chemicals to kill cancer cells but also kills many normal cells, and also causes other organs' rebellion, causing rapid metastasis.

Scientists have also warned of the risk of cancer from red meat like beef, pork, and lamb, etc.

Red meat contains a sugar called Neu5Gc that the human body itself cannot produce. When people eat red meat, the body will activate the immune system to respond to this sugar, producing antibodies that cause inflammation and ultimately lead to cancer. It is published by American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR).

Chemicals (HCAs and PHAs) in cooked meat are the major reason that meat is associated with cancer. A case-control study from Utah university with rectal cancer case (n = 952) and controls (n = 1205) found that people who consumed more meat (though cooked) had a higher risk of rectal cancer.

Spiritually, eating beef is more likely to get cancer than other foods. The reason is that the local part of the mind of the piece of beef is too strong that still remains even when the meat is cooked. And when you eat it, the inferior mind wanders in the body. It will argue with and incite other organs to rebel and occupy some organs then rebel against the body.

Usually the local part of the mind of cooked fish/meat goes away but beef. Its local mind is particularly strong that still survives even when cooked.

Throughout our lives, many times some parts of the body have been mutilated through inflammation, swelling, ulcers, pain, etc., but they then healed. At those levels, medicine doesn’t consider them cancer, but they are actually cancerous in nature. If we make them angrier, they will be rebellious and become cancerous forever.

According to Buddhism, those cases occur when the karma is not bad enough to be cancer, and not good enough to be healthy. Though you have some rebellious body part, you’re still blessed, so you will accidentally eat something that can calm it down, or you will see the right doctor. It can rebel at another time, and if you’re still blessed, you can still calm it down. And when you are no longer blessed, nothing can heal it, and you will get cancer.

The same disease often repeats, and we can have a chronic disease. If the disease goes away and then occurs, we won’t pay attention to it, but actually, the cause of rebellion hasn’t been resolved yet.

Let analyze the difference between cancer and other diseases. Cancer is more violent and much more challenging to treat. It is told that some tumors separated from the body still jumped wildly on a tray. We think that it was a natural nervous reaction, in fact, it has their own consciousness. If we consider those tumors animals that attached to the body, we will be frightened.

How to end the rebellion of a body part and put this body part under control?

It's hard and not hard to treat cancer. It will be hard if we choose the way of fighting against it and it won't if we choose the way of harmonizing with and persuading it. Cancer is fierce, but gentleness will win fierceness, so we will patiently convince it, and we will be alright.

First, we must understand cancer is a violent animal with fierce mind attaches to the body. Its aggression is partly due to our fault even made unintentionally. Besides, we live in a polluted environment, eat contaminated food, are stressed in a long time and haven't found a way of being relieved, and do not repent of our sins to eliminate the potential evil in our minds from many past lives.

To end the ferocity of a body part's mind, we must apply many methods simultaneously: select food carefully, clean the living environment, purify the mind, repent of our sins from many past lives, treat people with kindness. If blessed in meeting herbal medicine, then we can put our hope in being cured of cancer.

A nice person suddenly had lung cancer, and the cause was she often burned incense sticks and chanted Buddhist Suttas in a closed room. Her lung couldn't tolerate it for a long time, hence rebelled.

Some had liver cancer, just because they had a glass of milk tea every day and didn't know that their favorite drink made of plastic!

Some children had blood cancer, and their parents didn't know that the formula milk they bought for their children contains many substances that are not appropriate to the body; thus the blood didn't like them and got angry, so, a blood cancer.

Some people had brain cancer, just because they had evil thoughts and didn't purify themselves. It didn't occur to them that their malice towards others harmed them back. You should know that tumors are physical cancers and mental disorders are psychological cancers. Both cause us misery.

Overeating meat and fish is like eating poison because we let many inferior minds into the body. We should understand that animals have a very low level of mind, they have a lot of hatred, stupidity, selfishness, aggression, lewdness, etc. We let their characteristics join our minds; we cause the impurity to the soul. Except for the case when they died not by killing, and we have nothing to eat, and we need to live, and the animal that gives us food (its body) also has some blessing.

We understand these things to regulate our thoughts/actions for a healthy life, helping prevent and treat cancer. However, if we have cancer, then we must be far more determined for the treatment.

Harmful bacteria are also an agent that irritates our body parts and cause their rebellion, a cause of cancer, while beneficial bacteria cooperate with our body. Helicobacter Pylori (HP) reaching the stomach causes stomach cancer, Human Papillomavirus causes cervical cancer, and HIV is very frightening.

Where do these bacteria come from and spread everywhere?

Their appearance is due to the appropriate environment for them appear. An environment will produce organisms that are suitable for it. Later, in another article, I will talk more about this idea, and we will find the origin of mankind.

Human beings, in the process of life, have created a favorable environment for harmful bacteria, these bacteria attack back humans. Therefore, creating a healthy living environment is an obligation for all of us to protect ourselves and the community.

Creating a healthy living environment.
We know the environment is also a cause of cancer, so creating a healthy living environment helps protect us and the community.

The environment includes many things such as air, water, soil, plants, animals, light, sound, human affection, human knowledge, products, art, technology, and so on.

Building a healthy living environment means making all of them healthy. And only should it be made by the whole world! As individuals, we can just do a few trivial things to help.

For example, we can minimize the amount of soap pouring into sewers as the sewage will flow into rivers and kill the life of all water animals. These polluted rivers will form an unfavorable living environment, secretly causing us cancer. Now many suffer from this kind of disease. Don't think that it's because of just contaminated food but also because of poisonous gases from rivers quietly go into the air. These gases will be absorbed into the skin, the lungs, the eyes, the ear, and the nose, etc.

Humans must quickly find alternative fuels for oil for vehicles today. Untreated smoke emitting into the air will directly attack the lungs, the eyes before producing the greenhouse effect to warm up the atmosphere.
People produce a lot of trash, and they are not intelligent or ethical enough to recycle it, so they throw it away. It will pollute water, air, and land sources, contributing to the cause of cancer. The more garbage we produce, the more people have cancer.

Many kinds of chemicals seem to make human life better like paint for our houses; something makes our food crispy, aromatic, etc. are carcinogens.

Initially, humans enthusiastically produced many things that seem intelligent/useful, but they unexpectedly created an unhealthy living environment, and people suffered more from illness than before.

One who feels a duty of creating a healthy living environment for the community has great morality. And morality will gain blessings in the future.

Proper food contributes to cancer treatment.

Many herbalists say that they can cure cancers. Their rate of success is over 40%. It is so good. Also, there are many advertisements for drugs for cancer prevention/treatment. In some places, people even use urine to treat cancer. They don't lie, but those drugs don't work for all cases.

The reason is that our food has a considerable effect on cancer treatment. Everything we eat can be medicinal (like boiled rice, vegetables, tofu, meat, or fish). However, most of us choose the wrong target: we want delicious but not healthy food. In any party, usually, we find yummy food, drinks that don't benefit our health. And excessive animal protein is harmful.

We know that when the body environment becomes terrible, some body parts will rebel against the body by causing malignant tumors. If we adjust that change, normalize the body environment, we can contribute to relieving the anger of cancer cells, bringing them back to the normal growth, under control.

We have just used the words of can contribute to relieving the anger of cancer cells. That means the choice of food is not 100% success of cancer cure, but it's important. The rage of organs to the level of cancer is not simple anymore.

We will surprisingly discover that many natural foods can soothe the consciousness of a body part. Unlike diabetes when the pancreas is very picky about food: its starch must be boiled rice, its vegetables must be water spinach, its sauce should be the traditional soy sauce of Vietnam. For cancer, there is a variety of plants to help normalize the body environment.

Centella, Peperomia pellucida, Commelinaceae grows wildly on a field or by a pond or a village road, some types of mushrooms such as Lingzhi, Erythrophleum fordii, Wood ear, and so on, are therapeutic to cancer. Analyzing the properties/ substances of those vegetables, we may find nothing unusual as they only help the body environment be gentle. And cancer requires a healthy body environment to stop the rebellion of body organs.

Generally, something that has pungency irritates the body and is detrimental to the body's healing. Chilli, wine, ginger, garlic (some believe that garlic can prevent cancer) are hot spicy, hence should be limited if you want to cure your cancer quickly.

Vietnamese people well defined a concept of "hot food" and "cool food." From visual sense, they said Tiliacora triandra, green beans, Ocimum gratissimum, sweet potato buds, etc. are cool. These can help the body be gentle again and even can help to cure cancer.

Food that Vietnamese people said to be hot may cause cancer.
Some bulbs also help treat cancer like taro, yam, Eleocharis.

Morning glory spinach/water spinach with traditional Vietnamese soy sauce can treat diabetes and cancer, too. Few know that boiled water spinach with tomatoes is the drug of Vietnam. It creates a very gentle environment for the body.

It’s strange that the more complicated and tasty food, the angrier the body. The body is the opposite of our taste. The body hates it when it tastes good. Spices like seasoning are the enemy of the body. Whoever eats seasoning much will have diabetes, kidney failure, or cancer.

A man with diabetes with the blood glucose of 527\text{mg/dl}, which is the highest blood glucose level in the world. He has four shots of insulin and two doses of medicine every day to keep the blood glucose range of 300\text{-}500\text{mg/dl}. But after four days of following CORA method (eating boiled rice with boiled water spinach and soy sauce), his blood glucose level went down to 137\text{mg/dl}. This is the best result ever in the world. However, he couldn’t follow CORA method because he couldn’t stand boiled rice and boiled water spinach with Vietnamese soy sauce. And he decided to be back to his insulin injection and medicine as before to have yummy food.

We respect his choice. But we also admire a venerable monk who strictly and happily adopts CORA. His blood sugar level is now 110mg/dl (before, 285).

Probably one’s choice of food depends on one’s virtue. People with merit from spiritual practice can easily accept simple but healthy food to avoid diseases more than those who don’t practice spirituality. Those who still feel happy with simple diet have a gentle soul, and they can make their body environment gentle without difficulty.

The press has reported a man who claims a vegan diet cured his colorectal cancer. His name is Rob Mooberry. Rob Mooberry was given just a few weeks to live. His colorectal cancer had reached the critical stage 4 diagnoses, and he was in pain. Chemotherapy, radiation, and invasive surgeries were the doctor’s orders, but after the first round, Mooberry decided his body needed a break.

“…When I finished chemo, the oncologists were saying I would need to do more straight away and I really didn’t want to. I needed to heal. That’s when I knew I needed to do anything to beat this cancer. I was really willing to try anything to save my life. That’s when I went hard-core raw, vegan, superfoods.”

His doctors told him that his attempts to cure cancer with an overhauled, plant-based diet was “naive,” but Mooberry was just focused on one thing: feeling better. He went vegan, took herbs, and even tried coffee enemas.

At his next scan a few months later showed something that shocked everyone: His cancer had shrunk in size by nearly 80 percent. Fast forward almost a year from that scan, and Mooberry’s scans showed almost no evidence of the disease.

In December 2017, Mooberry celebrated his five-year anniversary of being cancer-free by starting his own cancer charity—the Mu Casa Moo Foundation—and talking about his experience with beating the disease with his diet.

“I’m not standing here on my soap box saying everyone needs to go plant-based and vegan,” he said. “But if you’re going to ask me what worked for me, I’ll tell you: the diet. Whoever is thinking about adopting these practices should research, weigh, and evaluate if this is right for them.”
The Courier Mail also reported: In 2005, Kristine Matheson was diagnosed with lung cancer and given only from six months to a year to live. However, nine years later, this woman was 64 years old and still lived healthily. This result is due to Kristine Matheson adopted a clean, raw diet.

In the first month, Matheson ate vegetarian food and cut sugar, fruits, coffee, wine, milk, and fermentation out of the diet. She ate a lot of salad, cashew milk, carrot juice, pizza made with buckwheat, whole grains, garlic, walnuts.

After a month, she began a four-week cycle of purifying the body, removing toxins. Matheson's method is to drink fruit juice, take herbal tea and drink vegetable soup. After a month of purification, she was vegetarian. In the morning she still maintains a salad and cashew milk.

After one year of having the diet above and gentle physical activity every day, her health gradually improved, the disease had been eradicated unbelievably. When CT and MRT were taken, the tumor in the lung completely disappeared.

Cancer is still considered beyond cure, but in reality, many cancer patients were cured or can live in harmony with this dangerous disease due to their decreasing red meat, and eat vegetables instead. They use beans for their protein need. When in treatment, they temporarily suspend fat and do not eat any refined sugar. Cancer cells like sugar and fat very much and they will feel excited right away when having them.

Vietnamese Địa Long medicine is something very special. It helps the body increase resistance and controls the rebellion of some body parts. Actually, Địa Long is a gift from heaven and earth to human beings. But do not abuse, you should share with others.

Qigong and meditation help create a good mental environment to influence the aggressive mind of the cancer beast.

As you know, cancer occurs when a body part suddenly becomes a beast inside the body that we can no longer control. To become a beast, that body part must have a relatively independent mind, and for many reasons, it fights against the body.

For cancer treatment, we often find ways to kill this beast or cancer cells. It's easy to understand why people choose this solution because it's consistent with human thinking from the primitive times: who don't submit will be killed.

But reality shows that this solution is not effective but expensive, and patients eventually die in pain.

So, let's find out a solution more reasonable. First, we must realize a body part's rebellion is the cause of cancer, and it is very hard to handle. We start with creating a healthy living environment then selecting proper food to build a gentle environment for the body. But the beast of cancer is not tamed yet.

Yin-Yang qigong has great power in purifying our soul and in building the potential strength to support cancer treatment. Health helps control the breakdown of rebellious organs. The purity of the soul helps calm down the aggression of cancer cells. These are the two pillars that attack cancer cells: CONTROL the breakaway of the cancerous tumor and CALM DOWN the hostility of the mind of cancer cells.

If you don't have cancer, you should still practice Yin-Yang qigong to prevent it, and if you do, then you must practice it harder. The beauty of Yin-Yang qigong is to help the mind rapidly to be pure. And of course, the breath of Yin-Yang qigong at the rate of 1-5 (inhalation is 1, exhalation is five times longer than inhalation), will gradually create an internal force.

But the power of the qigong is not enough to tame the cancer beast; meditation is required, too. When meditating, we direct the mind to the goal of selflessness/egolessness (Pali: Anatta), creating a deeply gentle mind. As you know, the cancer beast appears because of the hidden evil mind of ourselves. Now through practicing meditation for the goal of selflessness, we try to purify our minds, which has a great effect on the mind of the cancerous tumor.

Heading to selflessness every day, we soften the aggression of the cancer beast. Our minds gradually became virtuous, gentle, altruistic, tolerant, which little by little transform the mind of the tumor.

Besides the practice of Yin-Yang qigong and meditation, we should try to do more and more good deeds. Why? Because a virtuous mind must be guaranteed by good deeds. And a virtuous mind will certainly make the cancer beast soften.

Doing Yin-Yang qigong, meditating for the goal of selflessness, and doing good deeds are the three key things to purify our minds, which deeply affects the mind of the tumor.

The contemplation of compassion, the worship, and the repentance before Buddha will completely defeat the hostile mind of a cancerous tumor.

We know that each part of the body has its own mind/consciousness, both related to and independent of the body. Normally, minds of all body parts live in harmony with the body's mind. When negatively affected beyond the limit, their minds rebel against the body, and the body part becomes a cancerous tumor. It develops its own way but not follow the general rule of the whole body.

I have talked about creating a healthy living environment to positively affect the body. I have talked about food to create a healthy body environment that surrounds the cancerous tumor. I talked about practicing Qigong, meditation, doing good deeds to influence the mind of cancer cells. And compassionate Buddhist ceremony and repentance will beat the hostile mind of the cancerous tumor.

In a report by a doctor of Education Center of Khai Tri, a boy named Nguyen Hoang Nam, born in 2007, was diagnosed with cerebellum tumor (Medulloblastoma). He was in treatment for 20 days at Department of Neurology of National Institute of Pediatrics. The boy was ordered to have the tumor removed, but the surgery was delayed due to his high fever.

This patient suffering from cerebellum tumor with a severe headache and vomiting has been cured at Khai Tri. Every day he worshipped Buddha, chanted Buddhist Suttas, repent of his sins, meditated, ate vegetarian food, take Địa Long, set free for animals, and do other Buddhist work with others. It was a miracle that after three days, he relieved the symptoms of vomiting, headache, and he could walk without difficulty. Nam's parents did not send him to the National Hospital of Paediatrics for further surgical removal of the tumor but asked to stay at Khai Tri center.

After two weeks in Khai Tri, Nam got over and didn't suffer from symptoms of increased intracranial pressure caused by the tumor. He then went home but still did the same things as when he was at Khai Tri.

On January 19, 1818, MRI of the brain: the cerebellum tumor wasn't found!

We know that a cancerous tumor's mind fights against the body. Therefore, when the body's mind raise the idea of compassion, it will positively affect the cancerous tumor's mind.
Seated quietly, better sit in the full lotus position, we force ourselves to love all sentient beings. Sentient beings are of many kinds: our beloved ones, our relatives, those who want to harm us, those whom we meet but do not notice, those whom we know they exist but don't meet, rich people, poor people, virtuous ones, evil ones, hell beings, hungry ghosts, and so on in everywhere. We vow to love all of them and vow that they also love all others. We vow all sentient beings can understand Buddha's teachings and eventually all become enlightened.

Then we focus the mind on the tumor and think that if there is any sentient being, it should be gentle and happy to have a place to be reborn to.

We do that a few times a day.

Then we kneel down before Buddha, honestly repent of our sins accumulated from many past lives, made by our ignorance, and now we forget. Our old cruel mind hides but not disappear. Earnestly beg Buddha to bless us survive cancer, and the mind of the cancerous tumor become benign and harmless. Also, we promise Buddha that we will live as Buddha taught this life and countless next lives: to love, serve sentient beings, practice Buddhism and share Buddha's teachings with others.

We must worship Buddha with absolute reverence and earnest repentance.
This is a great spiritual way: it helps you to remove your bad karma and turn the deadly tumor into benign one then disappear into the body.

Conclusion

Herbalists have discovered the therapeutic properties of some herbs, such as ones of Celastrus hindsii, seaweed, Polyscias fruticosa, etc. Why is it called herbal medicine? - Because it's believed to have the healing power and when patients take it, they don't have to change their lifestyle or diet, if otherwise, the medicine is not strong enough.

In fact, there are some herbal remedies that can control cancer cells and prevent them from harming healthy ones. These are very precious; hence are rare and cannot be popularized to the public.

Herbal medicine can cure this person but not that one of cancer. It means patients must use the combination of herbs and other therapies.
Herbalists treat a cancerous tumor by trying with various herbs. If someone was cured by luck, they then leaped to the conclusion that this herb could cure cancer. However, when this medicine applied to another patient, he died even sooner for an unknown reason.

Because of the uncertainty in cancer treatment, few people dare to claim to be able to cure cancer; thus people are searching for a cure for it.

Surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy to remove tumors only makes hospitals overloaded. When one hasn't healed/died yet, others are hospitalized. The only view of Western medicine on cancerous tumors is to kill them, while herbal medicine just wants to change them into harmless ones. This way of thinking is gentler.

But the key is we must understand the nature of cancer. When people do not understand it yet, any treatment for it is just trying luck. A person will survive if they're in luck or die if otherwise.

Understanding the nature of cancer, we appreciate the herbal remedies that can cure the disease at a certain percentage of success, but we know that is not enough. Cancer is not simple. We need a comprehensive attack, comprehensive manner/ thinking correction to transform malignant tumors into benign, harmless ones.

These include our morality development.

CANCER is initially a disaster to our lives, but it can be an opportunity for us to be born again people to live a life with the only purpose: bringing happiness and the truth to people. One who doesn't do this will have to give up his life and be buried in a lonely grave, while one who does will become a new person whom people will be sorry and gods will happily welcome when leaving this world.
