| for those who are ill and seeking to be healed, but for those who are healers. This includes natural healers, such as herbalists, naturopathic physicians, massage therapists, and natural-food chefs, as well as conventional doctors, such as oncologists and surgeons. All healers need to be: |
| Compassionate. People who are very ill with cancer are afraid and need to be loved and nurtured. |
| Humble. Nobody has all the answers, particularly when it comes to cancer. |
| Open to a variety of healing modalities. When people are striving together to bring about a healing of the sick, especially those with cancer, miracles can happen.

Why can't we use prayer with herbal medicine, with nutrition, and with conventional treatments to heal the sick? Hopefully, this concept is beginning to gain more credibility, and we will see a change before long. |
| Listen to Your Heart |
| After you have decided on a form of treatment and have incorporated prayer into your daily life, I urge you to try to make every effort to be positive and take charge of your life and your treatment in a proactive way. You may need the help |
