| | NEW HYPOTHESIS ON SPONTANEOUS REMISSION OF CANCER |
 | | The main reason researchers should be interested in spontaneous remission is that it could pave the way for new and more effective therapies to treat cancers. | | | I believe a theory that fully explains Coley's toxins as well as spontaneous remission could lead to the discovery of a new and very effective therapy against cancer. | | | In future, the failure by cancer researchers to seriously study spontaneous remission will be regarded as the biggest error in the history of modern medicine. |

| | Spontaneous Remission of Cancer |
| | Fourth, spontaneous remission of cancer opens the door to all nondrug, restorative therapies that are known to facilitate the healing response in the human body. | | | The subject of spontaneous remission is of great interest to me and my colleagues in empirical medicine, because it gives us clues to what therapies we might choose to facilitate the physiologic healing processes that normally control cancer—disallow deviant behavior of cancer cells and coax the errant cells back to a healthful mode. | | | Physicians who specialize in nondrug, natural cancer therapies will cite a very large number of cases to support their view that cancer remission without chemotherapy or radiotherapy is not uncommon. |

| | Variously referred to as spontaneous remission (3), natural recovery (4), maturing out (5), and unassisted change (6), this process is as difficult to understand as it is to define. | | | This review serves as a preliminary attempt to provide a quantitative analysis of the literature on spontaneous remission, cognizant of the fact that even a quantitative analysis is subject to alternate interpretation. | | | Identification of studies for this review began with a computerized literature search of research in psychology and the general behavioral sciences from 1984 to 1997 in which the terms spontaneous remission, natural recovery, self-remitting, and maturing out were crossed with alcohol, drinking, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, drugs, tobacco, smoking, and substance. |

| | IONS - Research: Spontaneous Remission - Frequently Asked Questions |
| | That psychological and spiritual factors play a role in remission and survival is evident from the stories of people who have experienced unexplained recoveries from cancer and other diseases, but since the role of mind and the spirit is different for each person, it is difficult to generalize their influence. | | | The term "spontaneous" as it relates to remission or regression is used when a patient shows a significantly measurable reduction in tumor size, or a reversal in the progression of a disease, and when this improvement cannot be attributed to Western allopathic medical treatment. | | | While it is often quoted that spontaneous remission occurs in approximately one in 60,000 to 100,000 cases, it is not clear from where this figure is derived. |

| | Spontaneous remissions |
| | In addition to astonishing courses of cancers, I have observed at least 9 complete and lasting remissions in a total of about 3 000 patients who were treated at the Hufeland Clinic in Bad Mergentheim (Germany). | | | The more remission is recognized as legitimate and the more it is understood, the more likely it is we can understand how to stimulate natural self-healing capacities that exist in everyone to some degree. | | | It is well established that spontaneous remission is still possible even in patients with advanced stages of the tumors, and in patients for whom all possibilities of conventional therapy are exhausted, or who are considered to be primarily untreatable. |

| | The author notes that natural resolution, which was previously termed spontaneous remission, has been viewed mostly as a nuisance variable requiring statistical control in treatment outcome evaluations rather than as an object of study in its own right. | | | Additionally, the disease model and the presumed progressive and irreversible nature of alcohol problems is incompatible with the possibility that affected individuals could change their behavior without benefit of intensive and extended treatment. | | | Failure to identify specific pointers to natural recovery in previous research might be due to heterogeneous subgroups of natural remitters. |

| | Although spontaneous remission happens, it is quite rare in general, and exceptionally rare except for kidney cancer, melanoma, neuroblastoma, and lymphoma, so knowing that a patient had tumors that went away or shrunk under treatment is evidence that the treatment did something. | | | Spontaneous remission of cancer is an exceedingly rare event. | | | It is suspicious if most of the cases are invalid, even if some are valid, since a clinic with real successes should know what a real success actually is! I think it is a very positive sign if within a small group of people who have tried a therapy there are several successes. |
