From Magic Options to the Informed Female Breast Cancer Patient FROM MAGIC OPTIONS TO THE INFORMED FEMALE BREAST CANCER PATIENT Judith Licea de Arenas, Miguel Arenas Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad Universitaria, México, D.F. [email protected] ABSTRACT Pseudoscience, quackery and alternative and complementary medicine – defined as the grouping of practices, interventions, modalities, therapies and applications that are not part of the conventional dominant health system – appear to have awoken an interest in Mexican society for multiple reasons, including financial ones. Taking into account that a specific alternative treatment or practice may be reclassified as conventional medicine, we tried to understand alternative medicine in relation to one of the most significant causes of death in Mexico: breast cancer. We also identified the different options provided to patients, from beauty clinics or treatments provided via television through to popular magazines and discuss the need for all information professionals to link to those affected by the disease. We conclude that since the scientific method is a determinant in the evaluation and application of action mechanisms for medicine, the work of information professionals would contribute to patients and their relatives having valid information resources to improve their quality of life. Keywords: breast cancer; CAM; Mexico INTRODUCTION Attempts since the 20th Century to understand the health-illness process have been notable and one can state that health care since then is one of the most notable achievements in human history. Health measures such as potable water and sanitation have considerably reduced death rates and increased life expectancy. Routine vaccinations, modern surgery techniques and available medicines have contributed towards the eradication of some diseases, or at least a reduction in their prevalence. Yet many illnesses that are important causes of mortality or morbidity still remain to be tackled (1). 1 Nowadays medicine has a scientific basis, health workers need certification to practice, medicines are tested before health authorities authorise their use, that is to say we are protected from quackery. But are we really? Any remedy that lacks proof of efficiency is fraudulent. If the remedy is used to cheat people it is a fraud. The manufacture or sale of non-authorised medicines is illegal. The norm that distinguishes scientific medicine from other forms is the scientific method where empirical trial substitutes intuition or opinion. The most obvious form of quackery uses the mass media to advertise pills, soaps, girdles, pastes, creams and equipment that claims to stop aging, whiten teeth, get rid of skin marks or reduce body fat. Other quacks propose “alternative” therapies that are not authorised, such as diets. In both cases, suppliers provide no names or addresses. Those who practice medicine without the right qualifications are also quacks. The exception to the rule says that some ill people show improved health after being administered remedies that have scientifically been proven not to be effective. Some of these therapies may work because of the placebo effect, ie that without scientific merit they can improve the condition of someone who is ill but fervently wishes to be cured. When the placebo effect works there is no explanation other than that of will power which impacts on the ability to fight a disease (2). There are therapies that are used on a daily basis in some cultures and yet are alien in others. Culture and religion shape the way in which illnesses are treated. When someone is ill, patients resort to the remedies that are available. However, if objectivity is put aside, quackery flourishes. Before the 1960s, the large majority of the population depended on medical treatment provided by health professionals, but since then, the patient has assumed a new role in their 2 own healthcare: patients have noticed that risks can be reduced. Therefore, it can be said that the interest in certain sectors of the population in alternative and complementary medicine is on the increase, as can be proved when reviewing print media, popular magazines or television. Alternative and complementary medicine is understood as the medical systems, professions, practices, interventions, modalities, therapies, applications and theories that are not part of the dominant or conventional medical system. However, an alternative treatment or practice can be re-classified as conventional medicine if it is supported by scientific data, clinical trial of its use and a change in society’s attitude (3). Currently, there are over 300 treatments, techniques and modalities that fall under the same umbrella: meditation, yoga, tai’chi, hypnosis, dance, traditional Chinese medicine, ayurveda, Tibetan medicine, homeopathy, ozone therapy, traditional medicine, chiropractice, electromagnetic applications, herbal treatments, Korean beds, chromotherapy, transfer factors, Bach remedies, etc. In many countries, the majority of patients combine this medicine with scientific one. One can therefore deduce that alternative and complementary medicine exist because they fulfil the needs of patients (4). The mass media, book shops and alternative medicine shops put a lot of pressure on the population. The patient could have better information however, as these products do not always point out the risk in taking them. Medical practitioners must get closer to popular publications in order to be able to guide their patients if need be (5) given that the possibility of this information being systematised is remote. However, some countries like China have made progress in this and have analysed literature on Oigong (6), traditional Chinese medicine (7) and acupuncture (8). Or else conduct studies like that of Gerson-Cwilich and others (9) who found that “ the use of complementary and/or alternative theories is common in young women with advanced 3 cancer and a high level of academic qualifications, who with the support of their families decide to use from one to three types of therapies, but even though the majority of their patients expressed an improvement in their overall condition, the effectiveness of the treatments and interactions with conventional medicines needs to be tested.” In order to be able to determine the scientific aspect, publications need to conduct scientific studies of those therapy groups. In that way, a specific alternative treatment or practice may be re-classified as conventional medicine if one takes into account that one of the main causes of death in the country is breast cancer. Breast cancer is the ninth cause of death with 4,461 deaths and the fourth cause of death in women of productive age (15 to 64 years of age) with 3,043 deaths in 2006 (10). METHODS Publications addressed to women that appeared in women’s magazines were searched for to analyse the focus of the articles or other genre to enable us to say whether such publications constitute a health risk. The Yellow Pages in Mexico City for the period October 2008 – September 2009 were analysed to identify those medics offering treatments to breast cancer patients, although the type of treatment offered, conventional or non-conventional, was not identified. Documents prepared by support groups for breast cancer patients and their relatives were searched for on the Internet. RESULTS The widespread availability in the country’s markets of roots, leaves, animals, barks, available as extracts, solutions, creams, infusions, pills etc makes them easy to acquire. People with a certain purchasing power read women´s magazines that are full of “advice” on how to “lead a better life”. 4 National or imported publications such as Salud Alternativa, La Botica de la Abuela, Vive, Kena Salud y Belleza, Ganar Salud, Cuerpomente deal with issues related to breast cancer only superficially. Two articles that could be related to the topic of interest are the following: Tips to improve your breasts Propoleo and curcuma against cancer. The first article was authored by the Mexican Scientific Society of Aesthetic Medicine and the Professional Institute of Beauty and Cosmetology whose scientific character is unknown. The telephone directory gathers ads for medical specialists or specialised private clinics in cancer treatment and oncology, the distribution is as follows: No. • Cancer specialists 21 • Cancer clinics 8 • Oncology specialists 19 • Oncology clinics 13 Only two ads, for cancer specialists make reference to the types of treatment offered: linear accelerator, cobalt therapy, superficial therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Beauty, natural medicine and diet clinics are more widely advertised as can be seen below, however it was not possible to identify if any offer any cancer-related treatments: 5 No. • Beauty clinics 282 • Natural medicine clinics 20 • Diet clinics 50 Treatments offered by beauty clinics include: • Liposculpture • Lipolift metabolizador de grasas corporales • Chocolate therapy • Wine therapy • Cryotherapy Treatments offered by natural medicine clinics include: • Healing with angels • Reiki • Numerology • Runes • Ryodoraku Treatments offered by diet clinics include: • Masotherapy • Homeopathy • Magnetotherapy • Crystallotherapy Grupo de Recuperación Total RETO and Cima Foundation, two important support groups, are still to prepare materials addressed to those living with cancer or their relatives. The 6 document About breast cancer, prepared by Cima Foundation, is an effort that should be continued. It is

    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Medieval Numerology: a Brief Guide
    Medieval Numerology: A Brief Guide Numerology is the belief that particular numbers have mystical significance, a concept of key importance in the Jewish tradition of the Hebrew Bible (or, as Christians often call it, the Old Testament). Early Christians continued the tradition in the New Testament and in medieval literature. The following is only a partial list of the meanings associated with important numbers. It is not exhaustive, and it does not give complete account for multiples such as 49 (7x7) or 144 (12x12), which were thought to have elaborate meanings. 1 God, Spiritual Unity, Creation, the First Age of the World 2 Adam and Eve, the creatures of the Ark, the two-fold nature of Christ (Christ as God and Man), the Flood, the Second Age of the World 3 The Trinity, the Heavens, Jonah (in the whale), Christ (in the tomb), three elements in man (body, reason, spirit), three elements of faith (knowledge, assent, confidence), three elements of repentance (contrition, confession, and satisfaction/absolution), the three Theological or Christian virtues (faith, hope, and charity), Abraham, the three Magi, three periods in time before the Law (Adam to Noah, to Abraham, to Moses), the Third Age of the World 4 The four corners of the earth with its four winds, the physical elements of alchemy (earth, air, water, fire), the four bodily humors (blood, phlegm, black bile, yellow bile), the Evangelists, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Four Cardinal or Pagan virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice), the Four Gospels, the four seasons, the four rivers of Paradise, the Four Blessings (Clarity, Impassivity, Knowledge, Delectation), the "Last Things" (death, judgment, Heaven, Hell), King David, the Fourth Age of the World.

  • Higher Guidance Journaling Level I Introduction 2
    Higher Guidance Journaling Level I Introduction 2 Introduction Welcome to the Higher Guidance Journaling Level I e-book. This is an excellent place to start exploring the Creative Mystic in you. What do I mean by that? The word “mystic” may conjure up a picture of an eccentric, gray-haired hermit, who lives on a mountain top, watching the clouds and deeply contemplating the meaning of life. However, most of us have no such luxury and may not even consider such an existence attractive. The times we live in call for a new kind of a mystic; a Creative Mystic. A Creative Mystic has a foot in both worlds: the physical world of laundry and picking up the kids from soccer plus the spiritual world of synchronicity and magical creation. A Creative Mystic finds Spirit not by retreating from life but by diving more deeply into it. We all have an innate longing to know ourselves. We find ourselves asking the question, “What is my purpose?” or “What is the meaning of this?” This is the awakening of the Creative Mystic that lives inside of us. These big questions initiate the quest of the mystic and we find ourselves on a path of exploration and discovery. Many spiritual leaders have told us to seek within for the answers. Higher Guidance Journaling provides an easy and practical tool for self- exploration and inner wisdom. You DO have the answers. Higher Guidance Journaling shows you how to get them. Enjoy the journey! To visit the Creative Mystic www.CreativeMystic.com website and signup for news and information.
