The strange case of the disappearing cancer

December 20, 2009

Mother-in-law’s amazing medicine.

As some of you may know, my wife’s mother was diagnosed with stage 3 terminal lung cancer about a year and a half ago.  She refused chemo, and decided instead to focus on organic treatments and various traditional oriental medicines.  At the time, I remember thinking this was not a great idea, but since the illness was terminal, I didn’t really see the point in chemo either, since that would have made her sick, and she didn’t have any pain or sickness at that point.  She began burning mugwort (below) on her stomach and chest, which I’m told kills cancer cells with heat, leaving other cells intact.  Hey, I can guess what some of you are thinking, and  I wouldn’t have thought so either, but here we are a year and a half later and doctors are unable to detect cancer anywhere in her body.

It bears repeating:  a year and a half ago, this woman had tumors that had spread through her lungs and then beyond into her other organs.  Doctors said it was malignant, aggressive, inoperable and terminal.  She got a couple of different opinions confirming this.

Here is what the mugwort looks like:

This is what it looks like in its raw form, but then a thing that looks like a bottling machine is used to compact it and make it look like this:

Strange looking stuff.  This is burned directly on the stomach and other areas, and it burns like tobacco, slowly.  Weird,  but it smells and looks a lot like the oakum people used to use to waterproof boats back home. It gets hot too, and I’ve seen the burns it leaves sometimes.  A little crazy I thought, to be burning yourself but if it gets rid of cancer who am I to judge?

A lot of sick people have been coming to the in-law’s place recently to get info on just exactly what resulted in, or at least coincided with, the remission of such a grave case of cancer.  I’m still wondering about it myself, but mostly we are just counting our lucky stars.  My wife still has her mom, and that is all that matters.

It’s a rabbit.
