Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to talk about stress and your health and how stress can make you sick. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, Doctor of Chiropractic. And today we're going to talk about how health can affect, can cause cancer and many, many other diseases, and how it's important to control your stress level in your life.
I am doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness, and we're going to talk about this topic that's really important.
So stress and health; how can stress affect your health? We know for a fact that health is affected by stress. We know that it can cause all kinds of things; it can cause cancer, it can cause heart attacks, it can cause high blood pressure can cause kidney disease, skin disease, depression, and many, many, many other things. So this topic for me, is very personal.
As most people know, I lost my wife from cancer, breast cancer. And her doctor said to her, said that, you've had this cancer for over 30 years. And she had mammograms every year for, you know, since she was in her 20s. And she had cyst in the breast and she would go for checkups on a yearly basis and the doctor would say “Oh, it's nothing to worry about. It's just a cyst, we'll check it next year, come back and we'll do another mammogram, everything is fine.”
So, at about age 48, she did a biopsy, and the biopsy was positive. And she was diagnosed with Stage 4 malignant cancer. And the cancer had spread to the lungs, the bone, the ribcage, the liver. And she had to do treatment at that time; she did chemo for about a year, which instead of curing the problem, it actually created more tumors.
And this time, it created tumors in the brain. So she had to stop chemo after about a year. So one of the tumor was successfully removed from the brainstem without any side effects, and the second tumor was radiated with radiation therapy, and she was fine. But after she started chemo, she realized that chemo was not the solution and she needed to find something else, so we looked into a holistic approach.
So we went to this holistic center called Utopia Wellness. And this Dr. Garcia was running the place and he wrote a book called Cancer Is A Symptom. And all the patients that were the clinic were all Stage 4 cancer, and most of them got pretty good results and they did really well.
