March 2026“He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:2).
The spiritual side of cancer is best understood by studying the work of a psychoanalyst who treated “terminal” cancer patients. The publishers of “The Cause and Prevention of Cancer,” by Dr. Frederick B. Levenson Stein and Day (out of print, check with Amazon) reported he lost a patient his first year of practice. During the nine years since “none of his terminally ill patients died of cancer.” This gives us hope to get to the root cause of cancer on a spiritual level that is very much related to a healing gospel of Jesus. It’s fascinating study, but first let’s get the big picture in place. Let’s also look at the physical side of cancer.
The “elephant in the room” of modern medicine, waiting to be noticed (a big one), is that Creation has power to prevent and “treat disease” far greater than patent medicines or chemicals we call drugs. If the truth about the healing powers of water, food, herbs, fasting, prayer etc. properly used goes mainstream — oops — there go trillions in profits.
We can’t improve on God. It’s not even close. We can’t improve on chemistry that mends broken bones, heals cuts, gives us immunity, and cures the “incurable” including cancer. Every church should teach this in the name of Jesus Who “made all things” John 1:3. A gospel that fails to honor what God has made to heal and keep us well is a gospel of cruelty — full stop.
In Part 1 of “A Healing Gospel,” we saw that the only way to get minerals right at food level is to get minerals right at ground level. In Part 2 we saw the power of mother’s milk and love to give life a good start and set the stage for the years that follow. While we can’t improve on what God has made, we can improve on how we use His creation and how well we honor His ways.
That gives us hope for a better world including winning a “war on cancer.” Since there are both physical and spiritual sides to cancer, whole person healing is the only way to win this war. Here’s why...
To prevent and heal cancer on a physical level, we look back to 1966 when Otto Warburg and Dean Burke of the Natural Cancer Institute wrote, “there has never been a cancer cell in the history of the world with normal cell respiration.” Nobody has proven them wrong. Otto Warburg, winner of two Nobel prizes, created cancer in dozens of species of animals by injecting acid into their bodies, lowering pH and oxygen. He said lack of oxygen is the “primary cause” of cancer, the “Warburg effect.” Since oxygen to cells depends on a near perfect pH of body fluids, they might also have said “every cell needs a near perfect blood pH to keep breathing right.”
Now we have our first major clues to win a war on cancer — oxygen and pH. Most people today understand that cancer begins when a cell mutates to make energy by a fermentation of sugar (glucose) instead of a breakdown of sugar with oxygen. To the need for oxygen and a balanced pH, we can add that normal cell respiration needs a healthy life energy field that permeates and surrounds the body. For the science see “Biology of Belief” by Bruce Lipton Ph.D. He taught cellular biology at UW Madison for 25 years. He found “belief” or spiritual energy does indeed influence biology.
Realizing the importance of whole person healing, we can now project how a real cure for cancer works. For the body, avoid all things that interfere with normal breathing and do what supports it. Take a deep breath. Move more. Avoid smoking, junk foods, pollution, obesity, manmade chemicals, toxins from the gut, blood pH out of balance etc. “Use it or lose it” applies to breastfeeding that brings oxygen to breast tissue and lowers cancer risk as reported by Harvard University.
Cancer of the heart is very rare (Mayo Clinic). Exercise pushes oxygen-rich red blood through tiny arteries to reach far out body parts like breast, colon, prostate. Oxygen and pH are the key.
Do these few things and presto — you’re on your way to beating cancer, but let’s not forget the spiritual side. A Healing Gospel covers all sides.
“None died of cancer.” Dr. Frederick B. Levenson found the seed of cancer was planted in infancy. He found the primary cause of cancer to be “aberrations in maternal-infant bond.” He agreed that cancer has many causes. He called them “irritations.” Apparently a big “irritation” in infancy due to lack of complete bonding with a mother is a primary cause of cancer that can pop up later in old age. Common irritations include all things we know cause cancer such as smoking, chemicals, x-rays, radiation, toxicity from harmful microbes in the gut, etc. — all leading to more cell mutations.
An irritation could also be a life experience that knocks the bottom out from under your life. The statistical correlation of cancer to life’s major stresses like divorce, death of a spouse, loss of a job etc. has been well documented from research of Le Shan and others since 1926.
In practice, Dr. Levenson found that the relationship of a baby to its mother sets the stage for how love is expressed or suppressed throughout life. At the age of 10 in 1947, I remember lying in bed at night getting very mad at my mother for letting a baby brother cry and cry. Others may have similar memories. Dr. Levenson’s strategy was to let cancer work. He waited until cancer brought a patient to the kicking and crying stage, like a baby left alone to “cry it out” or a mother told by a doctor to “let them cry. It’s good for their lungs.” When cancer brought his patients to the crying and kicking stage of deep pain from a buried memory, he applied his unique therapy.
He loved them. He became, in his words, a “surrogate mother.” Then they got better. He recounts one patient who became as lovable as a baby at the age of 82. Apparently it is never too late to learn how to love and be whole. Praise God. Since God “is love” and made us in His image, it shouldn’t surprise us to learn that love has this power.
Dr. Levenson wasn’t the only doctor to keep “terminal” cancer patients alive without drugs, chemo, and radiation. Dr. Lawrence LeShan counseled “terminal” cancer patients for years and reported a 50% success rate. John Diamond M.D. in “Cancer Diagnosis,” states that suppressed feelings are a symptom of the type C “cancer personality.” He cites a study from 1946 with a profile of 972 students at Johns Hopkins. The key finding was that students classified as “loners” with suppressed feelings were “16 times more likely to get cancer” than those who freely expressed feelings. One study showed that adults not close to their parents are more prone to cancer. Imagine not feeing loved by those who brought you into this world!
David Brooks, columnist for New York Times, described mass murderers as “alienated loners with self-worth issues.” Apparently, some missing love and lost in deep pain get cancer while others shoot people in bunches. But that’s not the whole story — stay tuned for Part 4. Meanwhile, we need more kindness. We need a healing gospel of Jesus.
