Monday Apr 18, 2022
Monday Apr 18, 2022
This week discover highly effective methods and techniques for healing the body of cancer.
Michael offers a free relaxation audio track designed to support one of the healing techniques discussed. This audio is excellent for examining the body and using the mind to eliminate cancer from the body.
The guides discuss the top cancer killers in the country and what they represent from an emotional energy point of view. The cancers that were covered in-depth were lung cancer (the number one killer in the country today), colon/rectal, stomach, pancreatic, bladder, liver, esophageal, breast, prostate, ovarian and brain.
The four emotions that cause cancer were reviewed: anger, frustration, resentment, and guilt.
Learn how people internalize their stress or anger in certain areas of the body. How does that set the stage for cancer to develop? You can develop a program to eliminate factors creating the disharmony within the disease.
The role of toxins and how they are generating cancers.
The approaches to dealing with cancer from the conventional and natural methods were also discussed, as well as what is required to create a healthy immune system and other nutrients to fight cancer.

Monday Apr 11, 2022
Monday Apr 11, 2022
This episode of Naturopathy Today examines the risk factors and causes of cancer, and how to minimize your exposure to carcinogens.
Harmful materials are EVERYWHERE! They're in our food, cosmetics, water, air, and household products. So, how can you prevent them from contaminating your body and setting the stage for premature aging, disease and even cancer development?
Michael and Steve give you insights into making dietary changes and other positive life choices to improve your overall health, including:
- The power of the mind
- How attitudes shape results
- How the mind affects health on every level
They also explore the biblical phrase “ask and you shall receive” from the energetic perspective. This is how the mind draws (or repels) your wants, needs, and desires.
Lastly, know the signs and symptoms of cancer so you can get timely care.

E:12 Congestive Heart Failure - Part 3
Monday Mar 28, 2022
Monday Mar 28, 2022
Michael and Steve continue sharing the signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF).
Learn about other diseases that need to be addressed, especially as they relate to CHF. Do any one of them stimulate CHF, or does the CHF become a causative factor for the disease? Edema, kidney, thyroid and blood pressure can be factors.
What happens when signs and symptoms aren’t addressed in the early stages of a condition? Sometimes people ignore symptoms or feel that they’re already on medication so there’s no need to go any deeper. That neglect allows a continual breakdown of the body system, gland, organ or function, and the cascading effect creates additional diseases, including cardiovascular issues.
A healthy mind creates a healthy body. Discover how to maintain a healthy mind by having gratitude, hope and faith.
