Why do some people die suddenly while their cancer disappears with the same treatment? Simonton therapy is a psychotherapy for cancer patients and their families, devised by Dr. Carl Simonton, an American radiation oncologist and psychosocial oncologist.I'm not familiar with radiation oncologists, but I'm a "cancer specialist who performs physiotherapy" (Mr. Kawabata). Mr. Kawabata explained how the doctor established his own psychotherapy as follows. In the XNUMXs, when he was a medical intern at the time, he observed that patients of the same generation who were diagnosed with the same cancer had regression or disappeared despite receiving the same treatment, while the long-term survival rate was low. I saw with my own eyes that there were sometimes contradictory cases, such as sudden deaths despite being said to have high blood pressure. Why is there such a difference?After observing the patients, the doctor found that those who approach treatment and life with hope and a purpose in life tend to make good progress, while those who struggle with despair tend to make poor progress. I noticed. Focusing on the fact that a patient's attitude toward life and illness (state of mind) makes a difference in the prognosis, Dr. Ikeda explores how to support the patient's wishes, and at the same time, let go of attachments and overcome life gracefully. I established psychotherapy for cancer patients and their families with the theme of how to
Cancer in a neglected patient disappears without side effects with psychotherapy However, he was advised by his colleagues and superior doctors not to let patients and their families have hope. When Dr. Webster looked up the meaning of "hope" in Webster's Encyclopedia, the first thing he found was "hope is the belief that desired results can be achieved regardless of the distance between possibilities." “I didn’t write about believing in things that are scientifically and medically probable. It means that even if the odds and statistics are low, you can live a healthy life, or you can live a happy life no matter how bad your cancer is,” says Kawabata. Encouraged by his definition of hope, he conducted research on various mental health care and welcomed the first patient with his unique psychotherapy. For a cancer patient in his XNUMXs who was said to have a life expectancy of XNUMX-XNUMX months and could not tolerate treatment with the so-called three major therapies, he proposed treatment with psychotherapy. It was a welcome treatment for a patient who happened to be well versed in Eastern philosophy and believed that the mind and body are intimately connected. Along with psychotherapy, radiation therapy, which had been thought to be "impossible" until then, was also performed at the same time. bottom. He was astounded that not only was the cancer disappearing, but there were no side effects at all despite high-dose radiotherapy in weakened patients. There are actual examples of spontaneous remission or spontaneous recovery of cancer, and I don't know if that patient was like that, or if radiation therapy was successful, but radiation therapy to a patient who was so weak had no side effects. It was because there was no other example.
