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…
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?
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.
And I was sitting among them.
I was possibly one of them.
How was I going to get out of this one?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
Joe

Thank you, thank you. I only posted my message a few minutes ago and the emails and love is already pouring in. I am VERY grateful. Maybe what might be more useful is to look around and help someone who has cancer, or any illness. There’s a lot of suffering in the world, and we can all help. Pass the love forward. And again, I won’t be able to respond to everyone who writes, but I am touched by the love and VERY grateful.

Thank you for your honesty. A big hug from Puerto Rico. I’m a big fan of ‘The Secret’ and now yours. Blessings to you.
Hello Joe,
I like what you said:
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.
Beautiful words of encouragement for me, and thanks for sharing your experience (as difficult as it must have been).
And I’d love to see an expanded report (and have already subscribed to your announcement list).
Absolute best regards,
Tom
Hey Dr. Joe,
I am a cancer survivor myself, having had lymphoma at age 21 and now having been in remission for over 20 years.
Having cancer at an early age gave me a persective that has served me well in my life but it is a very stressful time.
Like you I decided to focus on the positive and do what I could do to get better.
Be well! Also, hi to Nerissa!
-Chuck Daniel
Thank you for sharing this, Joe!
I would love to see you write a more indepth report. Its what you do best….communicate and share.
Pax Vobiscum,
Linda
Joe,
Thanks for sharing that. You are an inspiration to me and so many others and I have never met you. You know what it really is in your chest…?
It is a second heart with which you touch the lives of so many people whom you don’t even know.
Just one was not big enough for you!
To your continued health!

Dear Joe,
At the end of last September, I discovered a swollen lymph node on the lower left side of my neck. After a biopsy and removal of the node, it was discovered that I had cancer. However, it was not lymphoma. But, after multiple tests and efforts to find the source, they were never able to do so. My wife continued to tell me, “it’s because it’s not there.”
The cancer was finally described to me as Squamous Cell Carcinoma from a non-primary source. The next step was radiation, which was applied from my lower neck and up. After 6 weeks of radiation, I went back in for surgery to have all the nodes removed from the left side of my neck.
The night before going home from the hospital, I was told that if the pathology discovered any cancer cells, my next step would be chemo.
My wife and I had the movie The Secret and we continued to watch and continued to confirm that “it’s not there.” The pathology came back negative. After over 6 months, 3 of which I did not eat any food whatsoever, which caused me to lose 40 pounds, it’s over.
I know and thoroughly understand the mental stress and anxiety that you went through.
I send you warm, positive thoughts of love and caring AND, JOY for your physical health!

Joe,
I always appreciate how candid you are about your personal challenges, that you are not afraid to share how imperfect you are — just like the rest of us!
Yet, when you discover something that’s not-quite-right-yet, you instinctively default to following your own teachings.
I’m proud of you, Joe! I’m especially encouraged by this personal post to look at every challenge in my life as a potential “cancer” in my chest between my lungs.
(By the way, when I think of that as I type this, I remember in my mind’s eye how in times of tension and stress, I find myself feeling that tightness in my chest right between my lungs!)
I am further encouraged to remember your lessons: Be a Victor; Focus on What I Want; Embrace the “cancer” that just may be good for me; Take inspired Action; and Maintain hope!
I feel FANTASTIC just typing those empowering lessons.
Thank you for your honesty, openheartedness, and joy.
Much love,
Tshombe

That’s a HUGE lesson for me. Thank you, Joe.
Thanks Joe. You messages are always inspiring. This one prompts me to being more proactive with my own health challenges. If I can be of help with “Emotional Options” remember I’m just a phone call away.

I lack words. I’m so happy that you are not ill. Happy for you, your wife and family.

Ohhhh Joe….I am so happy you are o.k.! Thank you for sharing your story. I sent you an email last Friday, I hope you found it amongst your thousands of emails. It is amazing how you can feel one’s energy even through an email or blog. I really felt yours.
I am a firm believer in releasing and unblocking all negative energy in your life in order to create miracles. That is what you did! Phenomenal! I even wrote a book on the topic titled “Mastering the Law of Attraction: 11 Steps to Creating an Extraordinary Life!
You are an incredible man Joe! I am so glad you are o.k. Come to Toronto soon. I want to meet you!

Dr. Joe,
As always, I am inspired by this post. I am also glad to hear you are Ok.

Great News!!!. My wife is a cancer survivor so my heart certainly goes out to you. I hope your health continues for many years to come. I especially love one item in particular “Don’t be a victim, be a victor” words to live by.
Take care and God Bless

Thank you so much for sharing, Joe. I just finished reading “Hypnotic Writing” not an hour ago, and was so inspired and grateful to you for writing it! Then I checked my mail and found this link. Now I’m even more grateful!
I had a cancer scare at age 22 that really woke me up to how precious each moment is. Thank you for reminding me of that!
I, too, would like the expanded report, and will share it with friends and family.
I can’t wait to read the next book (and all the others that will be written in the coming years!)!
Joe, thanks for sharing your personal story with us. It was so honest and real. Your telling this story can help others. I have been going to a homeopath for 6 months and have been taking Natural Cellular Defense for 6 months to rid my body from harmful heavy metals. Keep yourself healthy please… we love you!

What you have learned and are now sharing is a gift of love and I thank you. I love you.I celebrate you.

Thank you for sharing this very personal message. I will say a special “Thank you” to the creator for your healing (or awareness of no need for physical healing). This reminds me of a story Dr. Dyer shared about his daughter and how she loved some spots on her face and they went away. Who knows how much those nodes in your chest just needed a little appreciation?
I love that your marketing carries on. LOL A great lesson for us all.
P.S. Speaking of marketing. You can buy your very own Gratitude Beads at http://www.groggyfroggy.etsy.com.
P.P.S. I couldn’t help myself.
Glad to hear you are doing and feeling well, Joe! Stay healthy!
Thank you for sharing your ” humanness ” with all of us!! The reality is that we are all on this journey together and all have life issues to deal with .You are a beacon for all to experience what it means to walk the talk ! Thank you for your courage and honesty and for making a profound difference in our world.
God bless you !

I am a graduate of Joe’s miracle program. I thought that the reason for the miracle program was to get anything that I wanted. What I wanted was to be millionaire. When I did not recieve what I thought I should I was to say the least dissapointed.
Four months have pasted and I am a billionare. I have more love in my life than I could ever imagine. And I have the greatest gift of all, good health.
Life is teaching me the importance of giving love, receiving love and the blessings of good health. If you have love and good health you are truly living a miraculous life.
Joe, Thank You for sharing! I have been working with Ho’oponopono and Huna energies Your message provides inspiration and verification of the validity of this practice. I love You.
Joe, I am so glad you are alright and everything turned out well. This is a reminder that Doctors do not always have all the answers. It doesn’t hurt to ask questions and carefully weigh options, rather than jumping into something as serious as another surgery. Good for you! All my best! Wishing you much healthiness and happiness!

Hey Joe,
My “feel good” emotions are soaring! You have once again purposely created an experience that, in the end, helps others realize the power of the LOA. Thanks for enduring extreme stress on your path to helping others create their desires. You rock!

Dear Dr. Vitale,
Having enjoyed learning from you via The Secret and your website the last few months, I must say I am always impressed by your warmth and desire to help humanity reach it’s potential!
A key to your subconscious is the expressions that we use–as you are undoubtably aware. You had “resentment” and other negative thoughts that you needed to “get off your chest” and when you didn’t, they manifested physically. Thank you for sharing, it is an eye-opener for all and a reminder to really listen to what we say! It is a big clue to our inner state.
Much health and happiness to you and all.

I´ve learned, after my father died of a cancer and methastasis, that cell degeneration can be prevented by good nutrition, really by nutrinional supplements. I´ve found excellent products. I take them every day.
I feel you still have a lot of great work to do!
Thanks for your writings.

HI JOE, I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION TO ME AND MANY OTHERS. YOU ARE A TOP NOTCH GUY. I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP AND ADVISE AND CARING FOR OTHERS YOU HAVE. YOU ARE VERY COMPASSIONATE, AS WELL AS A SHARP AND SMART AND VERY HUMAN GUY. I SHALL PRAY FOR YOUR CONTINUED HEALTH AND SUCCESS. YOU JUST KEEP ON KEEPING ON. HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU EDITH WINSTON
Some thoughts after reading your post: I think the most powerful time is from discovery to actual diagnosis. Perhaps those nodes *could* have been cancerous, had you allowed your thoughts to go in that direction. You changed that. Maybe the healer you worked with transformed them. Maybe you still needed the nodes to be there (albeit benignly) as reminders.
Isn’t reality a fun and curious creation?
Rev. Joan Newcomb, CPC

(amongst other things)
Joe,
Your utterly soul baring post brought tears to my eyes and inspiration to my heart.
I am profoundly grateful that you don’t have cancer. Honestly I didn’t feel it… I did feel something was amiss in you – you seemed to be a bit off energetically, but it felt more emotional than physical.
The greatest Gift you could share with us, your readers and students, is the Gift what you came to acknowledge this was for you:
I used the tumors as a spiritual awakening. They became a device for me to realize my power of choice. They became a gift.
If no one takes anything else away from your sharing of this deeply challenging time, I hope they take away these two lines.
EVERYTHING in Life is always a spiritual awakening, no matter “how bad (or good)” we or others label it. Remembering to live viewing all from this perspective is the key to an amazing, wealthy and contributing life.
The “tumors” were always a Gift… it just was your perception of them that needed to shift.
I too would like to see the expanded Special Report, I think it will offer tremendous value.
Health is Wealth -Enjoy it!
In Love,
Amy
I’m so happy that you are healthy! The Attractor Factor has been a blessing in my life (I first learned of you when I watched The Secret). Thank you for your writings/teachings. What you learned and shared through this experience is powerful.
God bless you, Joe….

Joe,
Your words arrived at just the right time to inspire me and give me strength to allow the medical profession to poke and prod me some more… Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings… I am inspired by your using this experience as a tool for learning and growing. I will be thinking of your words, and inspiration. I too will focus on growing, learning and forgiving… All things for a reason, right?
Hugs,
Alberta
Thank you Joe. You are the personification of love in action. Your sharing empowers the world. Your healing is our healing. Keep walking your talk, and I will keep cheering for you.

Thanks for your story, Dr. Joe– I’m so glad you are well. I went through a similar experience recently, and it definitely deepened my appreciation for life. I agree that these things “may actually be good for you.” Thanks for your good teachings!
Hi Joe!
After reading your blog about the “cancer experience,” I wanted to comment. I have been associated with an online group of healers for many years, and was raised in a religous tradition that taught the practice of metaphysics. We have had many so-called miracles in my family, over the years, including several with cancer. The most recent medical miracle, however, had to do with what doctors thought was severe heart disease. My mother had swelling of the ankles, and after being sent to a cardiologist, we were told her condition was very grave. We researched and found an exceptional doctor in San Antonio. After the cardiologist reviewed the reports, she set up an emergency heart catheter test. My stepfather and I waited in the adjoining room with about 30 other people, but did not speak one word to each other. We merely set about clearing our minds of all dis-ease, knowing our loved one was perfect and whole. About 30 minutes later, the doctor motioned us into the hall. She had the most perplexed look on her face. She said, “You’re not going to believe this!” I said, “You didn’t find anything, did you?” She said, “How did you know?” I giggled as I told her this wasn’t the first time. She kept using the word “miracle,” but we never think of it in terms of anything but what is. She said her fellow doctors and nurses were really giving her a hard time because my nearly 80-year-old mother had one of the healthiest hearts they had ever seen, but she took it quite well in the end. LOL Anyway…after seeing so many healings over the years, I’ve come to expect healing to be the norm. I’m so happy you, too, have learned to do this. It is not merely positive thinking…it requires understanding WHY it is so. At least, that is what I’ve come to know for me. I’m now teaching this to many others, and I look forward to sharing your story with them, also. We love you, Joe, and know that all is well. Let us all celebrate this news with lots of yee-haws and whoopees!!! Hugs!
God Bless–
Jodi Mc
My father taught me the LOA 40 years ago when I was a child. When he created 2 massive growths that squeezed the life out of him; he told m he realized that he had never spoke his truth to the world . As wise as he was, I wish he had known that he needed to forgive himself and love more. I’m glad that you, Joe, have. Thank you for sharing your personal truth with us all.
Lyna
Hey Joe,
I felt a connection when you share your story. Very inspiring as well. It serves as a reminder to all of us to see the beauty within our troubles.
Of course, I’m hungry to read a longer report about this. If you can make it available for free, the better. Your message needs to spread and to be shared.
Thank you.

Dear Joe,
I am glad you are OK.
I was looking for a right words to describe what I want to say…all I could say is – I love you, I am grateful and honored to know you.
I had a rough couple of days. I just read your post. Oh my God! Within couple of minutes I went from feeling pain and helplessness to be overwhelmed by love and hope. My energy shifted 180 degrees within a few of minutes!!!
To know that it is OK to be human, embraced it and appreciate it, not to feel gilt for some ” not positive” feelings, to pick yourself up and grow even stronger- this is so powerful and loving message. Especially when it comes from a beautiful person like you.
Thank you for being You.
Love
Lucia
P. S. I hope one day I will be able to tell you in person how much I appreciate your teachings.
Joe, congrats on your positive attitude–AND your positive outcome!
My mom has been healing form cancer for over a year so I can definitely relate.
I’m going to blog about you!
Warmly,

Hi Joe,
I am so glad you turned out to have no problem.
I am going through the similar thing, but with biopsies for breast cancer. I agree, these situations can be very unsettling, to say the least. I very much feel with you, as you went through that, and the relief you felt to find out you are fine.
You only have a *problem* if you *think* you have a problem!!!
Best Wishes,

Joe,
Thanks for sharing this experience and
my congratulations on how you resolved this challenge.
I feel with you and I am glad that you are well.
Several years ago I had a severe health problem which rendered
me incapable to work for about half of a year.
(and I sometimes I feared that I wouldn’t be able to work again, ever…)
(was a combination of pancreatitis and a depression)
But it was also the start of a phenomenal spiritual awakening.
(the more I awake, the more I realize how much is still there
to be awakened, so I am still at the start of the awakening
I guess… 🙂 I think you know what I mean.)
Now I am healthier than ever,
be able to work a full time job with a long commute,
start a business besides that,
and have time for my daugter ( 2 years and 9 months old ).
How I got out of it:
* Never give up.
* Have a good spiritual mentor.
* Be an interested observer on what happens.
* Trust my intuition more than the doctors.
( I really smiled when I read that you refused the biopsy based on your own
judgement.
This was probably a shortcut which avoided a medical-problems-detour. )
* alternative medicine: have found a really good healer
who uses the Holopathie method.
( more about Holopathie on http://www.quint.cc (in German).
This is so new they haven’t yet translated their website to English
as they probably have plenty of work to do for the German speaking market.
I don’t get anything for mentioning it, just have the intuition
that it might be beneficial to you. )
* massive action mode:
– spiritual work on myself
– work with imagination/trance ( writing down the inner movies
helps to keep them running.
Somehow I figured this out “accidentally”. )
– nutrition ( 5 elements )
– physical exercise ( preferable outside in the nature )
– light therapy ( good way to get rid of antidepressants.
A bit of chocolate sometimes helps too. 🙂 )
– Karate training
– try new things, question old beliefs
(that’s how I finally dared to start with the healer.)
– have my healer work regularly with me
– allow new friends to appear and receive what they give me.
(of course I not only received but also I gave and sent
and everything felt naturally
so it was no forced giving and receiving but more
a kind of letting it happen.)
(Currently I only continue some of these things.
I have new priorities and new challenges now
which require different types of actions…)
***
Thanks again for sharing your experience.
Your words put things in perspective and
reminded me that no challenge is big enough
for giving up or feeling bad continuously.
After all, feeling good now is always a better
starting point for a good future.
(It’s just so easy to forget this when in the middle of a challenge.)
Best wishes to you,
Chris
P.S. Thanks for your Hypnotic Gold Service which I have subscribed.
Your CDs are a voice of sanity and spirituality
which I often listen to on my daily commute.
Helps to me keep me on the right track.
Hi Joe,
What a story! FYI, the skin care patch from LifeWave can raise the glutathione levels in the body by as much as 300%.
LifeWave is discontinuing the complete skin care system but has incorporated the patch with another one into their new product Y Age. That’s the skin care patch (renamed the glutathione booster, which protects the cells against the effects of aging) and the carnosine booster (repairs cells already damaged by aging).
All they won’t be selling anymore are the topical creams in the skin care system. They’ll sell them out and discontinue them.
I have been wearing the skin care patch since last summer and love it.
Take care.

Joe,
My heart felt heavy as I read your post. It’s not easy to read about someone’s suffering because it is human nature to want to reach out and help. My heart lightened as I read on… to your mindset shift and the actions you took to empower yourself.
To borrow a concept of Rumi’s…
our sense of powerlessness is our gift of strength/renewal – turned inside out.
I am thankful for your renewed health, for your soul-full insights, and for your gift of sharing your life with words that inspire so many, including me.
In each other, we find our Self.
Love, Light, Peace and Joy
Nancy
ps: have you re-scheduled your Toronto trip?

I have something very special to share with you. I just brought my son home from the hospital. He is three weeks old. We had him at 34 weeks into the pregnancy which is just over a month early. He had some very standard problems that we expected and he is perfect now. It could have been very different had I not come into contact with you, The Secret, Abraham and others last year. The story is too long to put on your blog…but I would be so honored if you would take some time to go and watch the youtube video series I did on it. It even deals with the VA Tech incident. And yes, they are related. I assure you that you will not be disappointed. Here is the link to it. I love you Joe and I am very happy to hear about your miracle! They are all around us…we just have to believe in them! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edaE6sGUWnA
Peace and love

I’m so happy to hear you are healthy Joe! Thank you for sharing with us, your thoughts are always an inspiration of powerful teachings. Again, many thanks for your health and vitality.

Something you might want to check out for optimal health is Himalayan Goji Juice. You can read about it online at:

If you are interested in trying it, you can get it (again online lol)at http://www.norgi.freelife.com I am not using this as a platform to sell anything, my family and I take the juice daily and it has worked wonders for us and many of our friends. I just wanted you to know about it.
Thanks for sharing your powerful
story. It has attracted lots of
great energy in these blog comments.
I think one “key” to winning is
to think “what great lesson can
I learn from these darkest moments?”. It twists the problem around to the positive. The answer can set you free.

Wow. What a truly inspiring story. I’ve seen your appearances and read your blog in the last couple of months and I never would have guessed this was going on for you.
I have to tell you. When I go through my own trials and tribulations that can have the tendency to knock me off of my LOA track, I do wonder WWJD (what would Joe do. LOL!) or what would any of the teachers of the Law of attraction do. It’s hard not to look at all of you and think that every single moment of every single day isn’t the perfect LOA moment. It really is helpful and inspiring to “hear” how you handle those curve balls.
Thank you and Congratulations on your good health!

Joe,
I send my love!
Knowing what and how is one thing, but being able to do it is really using your potential.
The power of our thought is in taking command of it, as you did.
Demonstrating the strength to rise above the appearance of what was happening and seek the good – that’s the power of choice.
You are awesome for taking command of your thought in such a situation as well as sharing it with others so we all may see the power of thought.
The more we are exposed to something the more we accept it.
Oh, and I agree with you about the CW music – you showed great stamina and control there too!
Thanks, all the best
Dear Joe,
Thank you for sharing such a personal story. Both the story itself and the very sharing of it show great courage!
You are a great inspiration, and I am so grateful for all that you share with the world.
I always look forward to seeing what magic you create next!
Love and happiness,
Lisa
Absurdly Improbable
Fascinating.
They throw the “C” word @ people & it brings out the worst survivalist fears…even in the spiritually inclined.
A more interesting thing to consider is WHY we’re SO attached to 3D life in the first place, that we fear “losing” it SO much? Especially when we are given advance warning, in the form of a terminal prognosis..
Have watched people “die of” cancer & have watched people “survive” it…Similarly with AIDS.
Unless you subscribe to the immortality theories, dying is an inevitability of the current human experience.
However, if you’re living your life to the full, how you die is almost irrelevant.Fretting or getting anxious about it is dis-empowering & serves very little positive purpose.
Hi Joe,
Once again, another amazing story from you and with the usual open and honest approach that always leads me to learn a lesson I need to learn.
This time, the realization that I often don’t REALLY appreciate what I have until there is a threat of losing it. Reading stories like yours reminds me to appreciate life ALL the time…thanks.
I also want to thank you for the quotes on change, making a move in an inspired way, etc. Those things always help me and was just what I needed to hear today.
I wish you the very very best of health, success, and happiness, and am SO glad you will be around for a long time to write a thousand other books!
Thanks for all you do,
Tracy Baisden
Your message is very moving and really hits home for me. I was diagnosed with non-hogkins lymphoma when I was 16 years old. But even though that was long before The Secret became mainstream, I was determined that I would not let it beat me and that I would prevail. That was 16 years ago, and I am doing wonderful today and have added you to my list of mentors. Keep beliveing in yourself and the universe. — Damian
I invite you to go to my web-site, charles-king-masterful-living-com. Read my “Meet Charles King” page. and then read my article: Cancer Another Challenge to be Met. I too had the same feelings about MRI (Here I discovered that I was mildly claustrophobic). It was one of the most miserable experiences of my life.
On the other hand, a world reknown Urologist gave me a death sentence of a three-percent chance of living beyond six months. That was 20 years ago and I am now a 73 year old robust man becoming more vital every year.
This may sound like a strange thing to say but that year of 1988 was one of the most enjoyable years of my life. I really got to know my beautful wife of thirty two years better than I had known her; her strength, courage, and charm was beyond anything I had ever realized. For one year we traveled and did everything together. It was a beautiful life–a storybook life. Then one day it came so clear to me that I was going to make it. It just came to me!
Three years later I lost my wife to a cerrebral annehurism. Because she had been so wonderful over a thirty-five year merriage, I decided I would have a real regal celebration in her honor. I wrote the invitation myself and had them printed. On the very day she died I stopped at the printer’s to pick up the invitations. When I arrived home, there she was lying in the floor dead. I stood there looking down on her lifeless body, invitations in hand, two weeks prior to our 35th anniversary.
We can, indeed overcome anything. That is why I wrote the book, Overcoming the Overwhelming.
Thanks for the opportunity to share.

Much love and thank you for sharing! I sometimes feel like a fraud when I speak positive and yet deal with a challenge. Your handling of this situation is a real inspiration and was helped me to handle my own challenges differently.
For starters, I’ll stop telling everyone about them!!
Love Much.
Oh, Joe! Your post had me in tears of happiness by the end! As I was reading down, I was thinking to myself, “He’s going to be fine. He knows what he has to do to get out of this.” Sure enough, you did!
All really IS well, isn’t it? 🙂
Love, Christine H. (from dippychick.com)
Thank you for your strength and the courage to share your story. I once I had a cancer scare and just the thought of the possibility was nerve wrecking. After a painful biopsy I said I would never put myself through that again and I meant it in the spiritual, emotional, and physical sense.
After this experience I began looking deeper for answers. I was not interested in the mainstream and conventional ways to achieve health so I studied to be a holistic health counselor and have trained with the best.
I now teach individuals the perfect balance between health and wealth and disease prevention through nutrition.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Much love to you.
Carla
Joe, Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best and am happy you are healed! Linda
I am always feeling blessed and loved by you. I appreciate you and sharing with courage this story. I am a cancer survivor and energy healer. Keep up with your new found health and thank you for your many blessings – I love you, please forgive me, I am sorry, thank YOU.

Whew – very glad to hear things turned out well – someone I know recently learned that he has stage 3 cancer and dealing with that kind of news is very, very difficult.
My grandfather recently beat cancer, but that didn’t make the stress of learning he had it any less.
Glad you’ll be with us a LOT longer 🙂
Frank
one more thing I forgot to say previously – you can request the music you want to hear if you ever have another MRI – the music they play is usually from a radio station – many blessings
i remember something similar happened to tony robbins many years ago. they told him he had cancer, because of something wich was statistically wrong…
10 years ago they told me i had to go through an hearth operation, because statistics said that something was wrong…
i didn’t do anything they told me to do. and i’ve never had a problem.
most doctors treat you as a number…
if you’re interested in the latest breakthrough in medicine and especially cancer, i really reccommend doctor’s hamer work. he’s a german, and he spent a lot of time in jail because of his discoveries…
the only book in english i’ve found is
http://www.amazon.com/Factor-L-Handbook-New-Medicine-Discoveries/dp/398092033X/ref=sr_1_1/002-7867469-9383238?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178564454&sr=8-1
it’s about cancer being a natural reaction of the body wich is just trying to heal a psychological trauma.
i’m happy you’re well!
“i love you, i’m sorry, please forgive me…”
really works…
I just read Joe’s blog “Getting Something Off My Chest” and maybe I’m missing something, but it seems that nothing changed physically from the beginning to the end of the story.
The only change was Joe’s emotional roller coaster.
The docs found the tumors and told Joe worst case scenarios. Joe bought into the possible diagnosis (understandably) and spent 3 months worrying, trying to heal, stressing, etc., only to find out at the end that the tumors (which had not changed) were not cancerous or harmful (and presumably never were.
Maybe the lesson here is to not buy into assumptions (again, that would be very hard not to do for most of us), stay calm and hold onto our core belief that all will be well.
Joe could have saved himself 3 months of major stress.
Maybe, Lyn.
But as I said in my blog, maybe everything I did actually cured the problem and prevented further enlargements.
Also, as it also said in the post, part of the message was not to be a victim.
I thank everyone else for all their messages of love and support; I’m also grateful that you are seeing the message of inspiration that is at heart in my post.
Blessings,
joe
I have just spent the last 3 weeks in my home day after day, sleep deprived and in a state, with my son who has exteme whooping cough, it has tested me mentally, pysically and spiritually, at times it has been difficult for me, who lives my life ‘in flow’ to find gratitute, passion and postivity, too look for the real learnings through all of this.
Yesterday my 10 year old turned to me and said ‘Mum you know, being sick has made me appreciate everything i have in my life, even school, and it makes you think about all the other people in the world like the sick babies we saw at the hospital, and how you want to help make them well again, and that what i have is really not that bad, because I am going to get better’ WOW! I just sat there feeling soooo much gratitude, soooo much love, I felt so proud that how I choose to live with passion and purpose thu the LOA and the teaching of you Joe, Abrahram, and other inspired terachers, is creating a generation of awake aware innovators! and my son is one of them!
thankyou everyone on this post for being a part of this global transformation!
and thankyou Joe for bringing me back to ‘my flow’ with your heart, your words and your love!
I LOVE YOU
Renee, Melbourne Australia.
P.S Joe we would love to see you down under, have you thought of heading this way? 😉
Joe,
Thanks for sharing. Your question as to how you participated may be explained in your language if it’s typical. You wrote that you “wanted to get something off your chest,” which is ORGAN LANGUAGE. For example, if one says, “that burns me up,” it could result in hypertension; “cant’ stomach that,” results in stomach issues; “takes my breadth away,” asthma and so on.
If that “Chest” thinking is typical, it could explain the connection to your physiology.
Be healthy and well,
Richard Kuhns
I love all these posts! I’ve been to Melbourne twice and it’s one of my favorite cities in the entire world. I WILL return. My favorite Italian restaurant is right there. Go looking for Giovanni Rico and tell him hi
joe 🙂
Thank you, Joe! Your sharing is inspirational. What a powerful demonstration of using everything in your life for your growth and fulfillment. Your example is helping me stay focused on what I want. I love you.
I really thank you, Joe, for sharing your own experiences with the whole world! The Secret has just been introduced here in Brazil: at the movies, at libraries, among interested people!
You are an example of self-healing! A real example in all areas for the whole humankind!
Be well, stay healthy Joe!
Hey Joe,
I just arrived home this evening from T. Harv Eker’s “Never Work Again School” in L.A. and read your post.
I am so happy to hear the happy ending. I’ve had similar scary health things like that happen that turn out to be nothing. It can be a little daunting as you go through the experience and then again go into the immediate gratitude for health and your life.
Joe you have so much to contribute to society. You are so loved. Please continue to teach and share with us. I for one would love to hear about all the different layers of the experience! As always, I love learning from one of my favorite “Heros” on the planet! Much love to you Joe! I’m so happy to hear the good news!
Taye
“Thank you Joe for your fantastic post.”
Why I like you so much is because you are unlike many of self-help gurus;
“You don´t have a need to be a super-human”.
It´s a fact that in life we have ups and downs and that´s what makes life worth of living!
When Good things happen we should be grateful.
When Bad things happen we should be grateful.
Only in our mind we determine things to be good or bad.
There are only things that happen and everything that happens is called life.
It´s not good or bad; it´s just life!
When bad things happen we usually refuse to see the “bigger picture”.
When we get things we want we are happy but when problems come we get disappointed and depressed.
There´s nothing to be depressed about when we remember it´s all just life!
In the eyes of God (or higher power you prefer) Being sick or healthy, rich or poor, black or white are all Good. We are given what we need to have. We need to “pay” before we play 🙂
Good and bad are both neutral if we take off our need to judge!
We won´t always have only “good things” coming to us if we refuse to learn the lessons that are given to us. (As I said before we need to pay before we play)
Those lessons may be tough.
Those lessons may be depressing.
Those lessons may be “impossible”.
But what ever comes our way we only have two choices:
1. Stop living, get depressed, blame others, blame god… (I guess you get the point already)
2. “live” through your lessons saying: “This is what is given me. It´s not good. It´s not bad. It´s just life. Thank you!”
And when we “live” through every situation we are given there is always a solution to our every problem!
Joe, I see something really really REALLY good things coming to you right now because you´ve passed a really important lesson!
(and even if it´s biggest, boldest dream that comes true, remember this: “It too is just life”)
Thank you for sharing your story Joe,
You´re the man!
Yours,
-L.O. Niskasaari
Hey Joe, we do, do the best Italian food in Melbourne, thats for sure!
I have a picture of you, up on my vision board, a goal of mine, to meet you and here you speak, so I hope to see you in Melbourne really soon!
But, to cover all my universal basis, I also have a goal up on my vision board to make it to the ‘World Wellness Weekend’ in Austin Texas 2008, so I might just get to meet you there!
To your forever health and happiness!
Renee 🙂
Thank Goodness you’re OK.
It’s funny, the idea that that which you focus on becomes true, or thoughts become things, is really resounding with me and my life right now.
My poor mum had a really debilitating disease that the docs didn’t even know existed when she contracted it. It was similar to the effects of cancer, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis all in one…
Anyway, being a stoic woman, no end of hospital ’emergency’ visits challenged her will to live. She astouned medical ‘experts’ who, not so long ago, gave her just a 5% chance of survival. She walked out of the hospital a few weeks later…
Then, when her own mum suffered a heart attack and then she lost her sister to cancer in the space of a month, she took a turn for the worse. She never recovered and I said goodbye to her a few years back.
The point I’m getting to is that I was so scared to end up living the same life as that of mum (although she put on an incredibly brave face and fight, her life was plagued by pain, debilitation and hospital visits)…
last year I was diagnosed with something uncannilly similar to what mum had. I think by focusing on NOT wanting what she had, brought about the very things I feared in my own physiological makeup.
Since learning of The Secret last summer, I was determined to heal myself without medical intervention. However, this year I ‘gave in’ as my body was starting to shut down.
They can’t do anything for the main ‘illness’ I have, but I am more determined than ever to prove the docs that this ‘incurable’ illness CAN be overcome. I WILL heal. And I WILL survive. I know it…
So thanks again for sharing, and for being an inspiration…
Tracey
Hi Joe,
Thanks for sharing that with the world. It takes guts to do something like that, but then I always new you had plenty. Cancer is something that affects more people than we realize.
I know this better than most as it has affected my life in a very close and personal way.
In November 2003 after a seven month battle my wife died due to cancer in her liver and colon. She tried so hard to beat it, even just enough time to see our 2 sons start school. They were 3 and 5 at the time.
Since I found the movie “The Secret” and all the other LOA books, CDs and DVDs, I often wondered if things could have been different had we known about all this at the time. Still, I know I can’t dwell on that and have to move on. After all, it is said, that everything happens for a purpose and it serves us. It has taken a little time, but that purpose is becoming clear.
Glad to hear you have conquered the big C and that you will continue to share your thoughts and wisdom with the world. Long may it continue.
The message and the lessons were powerful and at the same time very encouraging. Thank you for this wonderful post! My wishes for a healthy life.

Why Abraham is not on “The Secret” any more
Follow this link…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtE4v3YYJEA
Abraham in hiding
1. why the publisher felt unable to continue unless
Abraham was omitted
2. why does Abraham say that a good teacher knows
where his student is as far as readiness for
receiving the truth and knowledge of the source.
I believe more than anything the reason for Abraham’s omission from the movie was to not chance losing any credibility
(Abraham would be perceived as the imaginary friend of a must be lunatic cult leader by many whom have never heard of his existence)
Not reaching entire markets/souls to sell / enlighten,
(I don’t know if the publisher is noble and wants to spread the message with least resistance or prejudice, or he just wants to maximize profits )
Many religions would consider Abraham/Esther as a spirit/being, possessed/possessing ultimately in it’s nature not “from the divine” , hence evil.
Once this happens thanks to thousands of years of organized religion brainwashing and programming, walls of blindness and ignorance would auto self erect, logical thought and common sense set aside in order to dodge the truth and propagate the lie
More than likely if Abraham had been introduced from the start these erected walls would underline and highlight that “The Secret” is evil and is a sign of the end of times as foretold in the scriptures that in those last days man would make his own laws and ignore the laws of the Lord.
It’ll be preached how “The Secret” is claiming; no need to pray to the lord and accept Jesus as the son of god to be sent to heaven(the imaginary garden in the sky),
no blackboard in the sky keeping track and dictating down to us , that there is
no sin…..
no need for the church!!!!
Fighting for it’s survival, organized religions would coordinate rebellions against the secret and those exposed to it’s message.
Brain-washing and manipulation by the way of well established units of operation and ingrained behavioral patterns. Sunday Church and Friday Mosque and Monday Senegal’s.
This ties directly to the second point in regards to student’s readiness which Abraham so intently articulated in the above video.
Many of those whom these teachings have struck a chord with are also devout Christians, Muslims, or Jews. Perhaps many were sitting in the very audience of this video .
To realize,and embrace the knowledge, of the law. Means that eventually on a personal level one must/will see the misguidedness in teachings of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism or any other religion which has lost it’s original intended message and has regressed back to totem/ statue/self worship and belief in it’s super morality (some statues I think are made of Jade)
How many admirers of “The Law” are ready for this transformation??? The truth is to be consumed in the same manner as a cup of HOT tea;
it must be sipped on a little at a time, blowing on the tea to cool off a bit before each sip and pause in between the sips for your mouth to cool off.
Go too fast and you’ll get badly burned and end up with a speech impediment or you’ll spit it all out and vouch to never drink tea ever ever again
Roots of the movie “The Secret”
I am sure many of you already know this, for those that don’t… The Secret (Law Of Attraction), is actually based on the teachings of Abraham…you might already know who Abraham is but for those who don’t…
Abraham are/is spiritual beings whom collectively speak with one voice through Esther Hicks (as in under trance or whatever that state of mind is called) If you watched the movie all the way to the end Esther does comment towards the end, a short segment….
Beautiful movie wonderful lessons and all the great things that can and has been said about it, I agree with…
My only curiosity, well maybe not my only curiosity but a main one, is why so little, actually nothing at all was said as to hint/illuminate/clarify/introduce, the source of the teachings in the movie….
is it that the producers thought the notion of Abraham as an spiritual entity sending messages from beyond was too damaging to the credibility of the movie…
or perhaps stating that these lessons are the result of such supernatural events, would alienate the Christian to be movie watchers, since any supernatural power if not from the lord is considered flawed and evil…
or maybe sending the message out and receiving maximum exposure so to better the human race was/is the goal, and the source of the message is unimportant….
I would love to hear what everyone thinks about this, and those who did not know of this, now that you have been exposed, how does it effect your view of the movie/teachings…
cheers
