“Over and over I have seen one of two things happen when the total environment of the person with cancer is mobilized for life and his or her inner ecology is thereby changed in a positive way. For some, the patient’s life is prolonged, not in an arbitrary way, but in order that there may be more experiences of the self, self-recognition and the recognition – and often fulfillment – of dreams. And then there were the genuine miracles – not magic, but dedicated devotion and hard work which made the cancer a turning point in the person’s life rather than a sign of its ending.”
