Getting Something Off My Chest…

For the last three months I’ve lived with the idea that I have cancer.

I’ve kept this secret to myself and a small circle of close friends, as I didn’t want to invite any negative energy to it.

But now it’s time to tell you the whole story…

The Problem
When I had my emergency appendectomy last January, the doctors did a routine c-scan and discovered a strange growth inside my chest, between my lungs.

That wasn’t news I expected.

The doctor delivered it to me like it was a death sentence.

I had to take another c-scan to learn the growth was potentially dangerous. While the radiologists and the doctors couldn’t say for certain, they suspected it could be a deadly form of lymphoma.

The doctors sent me to a cancer specialist, who saw me the next day and wanted to do a biopsy the very next day after that.

Why were they moving so quickly?

Why did they want a biopsy done so soon?

They didn’t bother to tell me the biopsy might in fact be more dangerous than the growth in my chest. A biopsy can break up the tumor and cause it to travel to new areas in the body. It’s not always the best thing to do.

I decided to not do it, though it was not an easy decision to make.

What if I were wrong?

The Mental Stress
You can’t imagine how the thought of having cancer can ruin your day. Even with mental discipline, being told you could have cancer is enough to make anyone shake.

I cancelled trips, such as one to Canada for a book signing and interviews. I couldn’t handle the flights, the three days of work, the people, the traffic, the questions, all while still recovering from emergency surgery and now carrying the stress of cancer on my mind.

I found it hard to focus on work at home, too, though I did the best I could and still came out with new books, such as Buying Trances: A New Psychology of Sales and Marketing.

I went on Larry King live, for my five minutes of fame, but I was distracted by my concerns. I don’t think I looked my best. I dragged into the studio and dragged out of it.

That’s not all, of course.

Being in waiting rooms surrounded by people who definitely have cancer and are in various forms of decay is not pleasant or pretty, either.

And I was sitting among them.

I was possibly one of them.

How was I going to get out of this one?

The Pivoting Point
The first thing I did was feel my emotions.

I admit that being told by a cancer specialist that the growths in my chest are not natural, no matter what they are, was unsettling, to say the least.

I left there with tears in my eyes.

I drove home feeling depressed.

I felt very alone.

But along the drive home I got my second wind. I remembered my books, my talks, the movie The Secret, the power of the Law of Attraction — and I took matters into my own hands.

I was not going to be a victim.

I was not going to mindlessly bow to authority.

So I stated an intention: I would heal whatever I had.

I didn’t know how.

But I would figure it out along the way.

Taking Action
By the time I got home, I felt a renewed sense of power. I went online and shot off emails to people who I felt could help me.

Some people were close friends for emotional support.

Some people were resources who knew healers or alternative methods of healing.

I basically shook the trees to create an army of support to help me.

Obviously, I took a lot of action.

I didn’t get overnight results, though.

I worked with one healer who thought I was healed after three phone sessions with him. He encouraged me to get another c-scan. He felt my tumors were gone.

I scheduled the c-scan — which cost me two thousand dollars — and submitted myself to the test again.

But the growth in my chest had not changed at all.

I was very disappointed.

I wasn’t going to give up, though.

I re-stated my intention and moved forward.

Exploring the Cause
Joe Sugarman of BluBlocker sunglasses fame told me about a product that could potentially dissolve cancerous tumors. It’s a protected form of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. I immediately asked for it and began to take it.

I also asked myself what in me attracted the health challenge.

After all, if we attract everything, how did I attract this?

I write about the method I used to clear myself in my forthcoming book, The Key.

In short, I focused on forgiving myself and others. I focused on letting go of resentment so I could release any stuck energy in my body and again be at a place of health; of peace.

I used the tumors as a spiritual awakening. They became a device for me to realize my power of choice. They became a gift.

And all of this continued until last Thursday morning.

The Tube
That’s when I went in for an MRI, to see how I was doing.

I didn’t like the MRI.

I was slid into a tube.

Might as well call it a coffin.

It’s a tight fit, it’s an enclosed space, I can’t move or even fidget, and I had to wear headphones that delivered non-stop country music — my least favorite music — into my ears.

No fun.

I also had to be in that slim-jim tube for over thirty minutes, which is tough when you can’t move at all and all you can hear is music you don’t like.

I spent my time cleaning and clearing myself using the Zero Limits method.

I spent thirty minutes saying “I love you” to whatever was listening.

I left the MRI disoriented and weak.

I hadn’t eaten.

I hadn’t had coffee.

And I just went through a rough time with all that country music.

But later Thursday night I got the results.

The Results
You can’t imagine my relief when I got the news.

Finally – after three months of waiting – it was clear that I do not have cancer.

The swollen nodes in my chest are still there but harmless; probably there because at one time in the last three years they fought off an infection in my body. They are heroes for helping me stay healthy. They in fact needed appreciated; even loved.

They are not cancerous and any sign of cancer is gone.

I’m free.

After three m
onths of living with the idea that I had cancer, my intention and my work cleared up the inner problem.

What’s left is health and well being.

What I learned from all this is that all is well.
The swollen nodes in my chest are still swollen and still the same size, which means there may never have been a problem in the first place, as they never enlarged.
But it could also mean everything I did — from the healers I worked with to the inner work I did on myself to the new form of glutathione I took — all helped me stop anything from getting worse.
Whatever the case, I’m well, and far more improved, awake, alive, and aware than I was before this adventure.

Lessons
My message to you is this:

don’t be a victim, be a victor;

don’t focus on what you don’t want, focus on what you do want;

don’t assume what you want to change is bad, it may actually be good for you;


don’t sit and wait for things to happen, take action, any inspired action, to get things started;

and always maintain hope.

Expect Miracles.

Ao Akua,

PS — The new glutathione product Joe Sugarman told me about, which I still use and plan to always use, is described at
www.stemcellproductsllc.com/protected-glutathione.htm It’s called Protectus 120™. I don’t receive a dime for mentioning it to you. I’m not even sure they are selling it yet. But I wanted you to know the information, as I know somebody will be curious about it.

Note: If you’d like to see me expand this post into a Special Report about health and healing, going deeper into the principles revealed here, let me know. There are more layers to the story. More insights to share. More descriptions to relay. More resources to give. If you want the longer report, or have questions, leave a comment and let me know. If you’d just like to be notified when (if) I write such a Special Report, send a blank e-mail to [email protected] Thank you. I love you.

FYI: My book, The Key, pictured above, which I am completing this week, comes out in October. Zero Limits comes out in July. You can pre-order them from www.amazon.com/ Obviously, I’ve managed to stay prolific and productive despite my health challenges. You can, too.

How to Get My Attention

Most people who try to get my attention just send an email.

But if you really want to get my — or anyone’s — attention you need to think bigger.

Fed-X just delivered (for Saturday morning) a huge box. I opened it and found what you see in the picture: a DVD player, a cell phone, and a note.

If I were working for the FBI, I might be worried about such a package.

Instead, I followed directions and watched the one minute presentation.

The presentation was simple: just someone holding up a flip chart and flipping pages with short messages on them, as music played. It ended directing me to push a button on the cell phone to hear a message.

That part didn’t work, so I still have no idea what the person who went to all this trouble wants to sell, but they DID get my attention.

And now yours.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS – Be looking for tomorrow’s post. It’s long and personal, but I have to write it to get something off my chest. Stay tuned…

Booking Success: LOA Works #2

The other day my personal trainer, Scott York, asked me for a favor.

Scott is a certified personal trainer and is also one of the top fitness, figure and bodybuilding marketing experts in the world.
He works behind the scenes with Pro Body Builder Lee Priest, IFBB Pro Figure Competitor Monica Brant-Peckham, and IFBB Pro Fitness Competitor, Adela Garcia.

Scott wanted to know if I could give him an extra copy of the book by Steve Siebold, titled 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class.

Siebold’s book is a masterpiece; a work of genius. I’ve purchased the book by the carton and given it out to friends, including Scott. He wanted the extra copy for Lee Priest, the popular bodybuilder I met last year (see picture).

Lee is already a world class performer, and so is Scott. But, like me, we’re always interested in exceeding our personal best in all areas of life.
So of course I agreed to give Scott the extra book for Lee.

But I couldn’t find one.

I looked all over the house, my office, and everywhere I could think of.
I have books piled up everywhere, so it’s easy to overlook one.
While I had the clear intention to find a copy of the book, and wanted to engage the Law of Attraction to help me locate it, it didn’t seem to be in the cards.

I emailed Scott and told him I couldn’t find an extra copy of the book.

But then an odd thing happened.

The next day — the very day Scott was coming over to work out with me in my gym — I felt inspired to look in the back seat of my BMW 645ci.

I did and found a pile of music CDs, a copy of The Attractor Factor, and — you guessed it — a copy of Steve Siebold’s book.

When Scott arrived, I gave him the book.

That’s how the Law of Attraction works: set your intention, do whatever it takes to achieve it, let go of any attachment, and act on the inspired nudges you get from within.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Belting Out Bags: LOA Works

Last weekend my chiropractor, Dr. Rick Barrett, saw me carrying a soft leather bag, something of a stylish saddle bag, and said he wanted one just like it.

The thing is, I bought the bag over a year ago for $150 and didn’t think I could get another one.

The man who sold me the bag specialized in selling belt buckles and belts. His bags were a one time offer.

But I mentally told myself I would see if I could attract one for Dr. Barrett.

I would think about the bag every day, at least for a moment or two. I would tell myself that I want to find the man I bought it from and ask him about the bag. But I kept letting it go and doing other things.

But then yesterday I received an email, out of the blue, from the very man who sold me the bag.

He was checking to see if I had received a belt and belt buckle he had sent me as a gift.

I thought it was amazing that he wrote me, as I hadn’t heard from him in well over six months. But I seized the opportunity to reply and to of course ask about the leather bags.

He instantly wrote back, saying he doesn’t sell the bags anymore.

But he looked in storage and found two bags there, of different sizes.

He offered to send them both to me, for free.

He said, “You are such an Attractor Factor guy that I feel like just giving these to you.”

I was stunned.

But I also knew this is how the Law of Attraction works if you are clear: you state what you would like to have, but without any attachment to the outcome. You just playfully put it out there. When the universe puts the opportunity in your face, you take action. That’s it.

And notice the win-win-win here:

Not only will Dr. Barrett get to choose the bag he wants from two different size bags, but I’ll get the other bag to use as I please.

And the man who gave me the two bags?

I’m sending him a box of gifts — such as The Missing Secret DVD set, my Humbug DVD, and my new book Buying Trances: A New Psychology of Sales and Marketing, and a few other surprise goodies.

And he’s also getting some publicity, as I’m giving you his name and website: Rob McNaughton of www.robdiamond.net/

PS — Last night the famous action-packed movie Die Hard 2, starring Bruce Willis, was on television. The lead character, who barely survived terrorists in the first movie, is again barely surviving bad guys in the second movie. At one point Bruce Willis says, “Why do these things keep happening to me?” I said out loud to the screen, “It’s the Attractor Factor, bro.” Until he gets clear, he’ll keep attracting the same stuff, and never realize he’s the magnet. Not being clear makes for a great movie but a lousy life.
