IJHC (The International Journal of Healing and Caring) - From - Using Thought Field Therapy (TFT) to Support and Complement a Medical Treatment for Cancer: A Case History

Abstract

"Tessa" was diagnosed with a stage four mixed small and large cell follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 51. She was treated at Dr. Burzynski's clinic in Houston, Texas. Her treatment was supported by Thought Field Therapy¨ (TFT) procedures such as eliminating the trauma and anxiety associated with having cancer as well as treatments for Psychological Reversals (PR), which is assumed to promote greater bioenergy healing flow. Unpleasant side effects of necessary medications were also greatly reduced or eliminated with a treatment recently developed by Dr Callahan, who founded and developed TFT. The combined treatments were successful and she has been cancer free for a year and a half.

Case report

"Tessa" was diagnosed with a stage four mixed small and large cell follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on Jan. 22, 2001, when she was 51 years old. The diagnosis came from a biopsy of an enlarged lymph node on her neck, which had appeared and grew to the size of a small lemon in about a week's time. A bone-marrow biopsy determined that it was a Stage IV cancer, which had spread from the bone marrow.

Tessa had experienced some enlarging of the submandibular lymph nodes over the previous 4-6 months but her general physician thought this could have been due to an increase in starch intake during the previous summer. He recommended a decrease in the consumption of starch but this did not reduce the size of the lymph nodes.

Each tumor location was tested for the presence of psychological reversal (PR, see below) and all showed a reversed polarity. She was then treated repeatedly for the polarity reversals at each known tumor location and also for the presence of cancer in her body. A subsequent CT Scan revealed several more tumor locations, and she elected not to have these treated by conventional medical therapies. These additional locations were tested and treated with TFT for psychological reversal as well.

Tessa also used TFT for the treatment of the trauma of having a Stage IV cancer diagnosis and the fears, anxiety and uncertainty associated with the process of selecting a treatment program. (Moss).

After researching her alternatives for treatment, with special help from the Moss Reports (which give an unbiased view of various cancer treatments) and the Health and Healing newsletter by Julian Whitaker, MD, she chose to go to the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas and undergo treatment with Dr. Burzynski's antineoplastin therapy. She declined any chemotherapy or radiation.

Tessa felt quite fortunate that she was allowed to enter the Burzynski Clinic without having to undergo chemotherapy. Most patients were required to have first failed in chemotherapy prior to being allowed to enter Dr. Burzynski's phase II trials. Only those with fast moving brain tumors and her type of lymphomas, known not to respond well to chemotherapy and radiation, were allowed to enter his program directly.

She began treatment in early March, 2001, and started on the pill form of their protocol. She was very impressed with the clinic and received first-rate care throughout her treatment.

In addition to Dr. Burzynski's treatment she continued to use TFT to treat the polarity reversals at each tumor location and for the cancer itself. These reversal corrections were done several times per day.

Tessa also began carefully identifying and treating for all substances which were identified as toxins (with the TFT test) from her hair dye and makeup, and to all of the foods she ingested. The "seven-second"toxin treatment (Callahan, R., 2003) was used for any known toxin as often as possible. She avoided as many toxins as possible and treated the others regularly. This regimen was continued throughout her treatment phase and has been continued through the remission and present day preventative phase.

The normal protocol for her type of cancer in Dr. Burzynski's clinic was to first try the pills, sodium phenyl butyrate (PB). If she didn't respond adequately they would either add chemotherapeutic agents, interferon and immune boosting agents or go to the intravenous form of the medications with a chest catheter.

After three months of taking the maximum dose of PB's, her CT scan and tests showed a mixed response. Her oncologist at the Burzynski's Clinic recommended adding Rituxin. Not wanting any form of chemotherapy, she declined that course of action. Dr. Burzynski then suggested they add small doses of Interferon to her regimen.

Interferon has many, very negative side effects such as severe flu-like symptoms, aching, fever, nausea, chills, and depression. These side effects are so prevalent that at the time she began the Interferon, the nurse said they could provide her with a prescription for Prozac or a similar antidepressant medication if it was needed. She declined the prescription, confident that she could use TFT to help depression and avoid the side effects of the antidepressants. (Callahan, R. 2004) ;

About 6-7 hours after the very first Interferon injection, all of the above side effects began in a very severe form The next morning Dr. Roger Callahan treated the symptoms with the "seven-second" treatment and the side effects eased somewhat. The Interferon shots needed to be administered every other day. Just about the time the side effects were diminishing the next shot was due.

When the second Interferon shot was delivered, Dr. Callahan immediately treated her with the full TFT toxin procedures. She then only suffered mild side effects and discomfort. The next time she took the shot, they again treated with the toxin procedures and added TFT Diagnostic and TFT Chakra procedures. The entire protocol usually only took about 10 minutes and completely eliminated all side effects.

At this point, they also TFT tested and treated the sodium phenyl butyrate pills treating for toxicity as needed. This process was continued for the remaining time she took the medication.

The next CT Scan, six months after beginning treatment, showed a positive response. The tumors were shrinking. She was feeling good, had only minimal fatigue but was able to carry on life nearly as usual, working and doing all normal activities. The TFT Diagnosis, Toxin and Chakra treatments were carried out daily and on the cancer and all medications. In addition to treating the toxicity of medications, they addressed the daily fatigue, worry, and of course the stress of the disease itself.

In February of 2003, her PET Scan showed normal; there had been over 90% shrinkage in tumor size (normal sized lymph nodes and some scar tissue remained). She remained on all medications for three more months. She continued to use all TFT treatments with her medications.

After three months she was allowed to stop the Interferon. All tests showed continued reduction in tumor size and no new problems. They began decreasing the dosage of PB's. By December 2003, she was off all medications and all tests showed normal.

Dr. Callahan continued to test the tumor locations for psychological reversals and make any needed corrections daily. They also monitored the psychological reversal on the healing of the cancer.
