Jeanette teaches us how to come from a place of love and pure honesty at all times with any questions or suggestions we may give to a cancer patient. She covers topics like things you can say when you first find out, what not to say, suggesting treatment options, and what sympathetic vs. parasympathetic nervous system responses are.

Beverly Dymond is a holistic health practitioner and cancer coach. She has a counseling and social work background, but she decided to get certified in The Body Code and The Emotion Code after experiencing emotional release with a practitioner during her own journey of physical and emotional pain. Beverly believes that it is vital for people with cancer to let go of trapped negative emotions for true healing to take place; physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Listen to this podcast to find out more about what trapped emotions are, how they affect the healing process, and how The Body Code can help with releasing them.

1:58 I was working in Mexico at a natural clinic and what I found was every person that I worked with had some trauma and/or serious emotional trouble just before diagnosis that was not being addressed.

5:06 Trapped emotions can come from childhood or your ancestors and can be passed on through generations.

6:59 Negative emotions can be trapped in an organ or a gland and they can cause pain, discomfort, or imbalances.

8:02 Trapped emotions could be grief, unforgiveness, anger etc. that can cause issues with relationships.

11:52 If you want to talk during your session you can, but if you don’t want to you can just release it. So I like that you don’t have to relive things.

14:02 I wanted to take the course so I would have more knowledge and more understanding when I’m doing the Body Code. I’m glad I did. When I work with people with cancer I feel more equipped and more understanding, and I feel that I can help people to be more empowered to make their own choices.

16:01 Cancer can bring change to your life and make your life better than it ever was. It can be a roadblock but let’s take a detour. I want to help people with that.

19:30 Before I do a session I pray because I believe this is not my work. At the end of a session I send positive energy to the person because I want them to be hopeful and excited about their life. Even if their conscious mind says everything is horrible right now their subconscious mind will except my message that this is a good life, I’ve got a good future, I will be healthy and I’m healing.

He has a passion for being available to others to clear up all the confusing information and to let people know that they are supported and that healing is possible.

Listen to this podcast to learn about what has helped Joe on his healing journey, and how a Healing Strong support group meeting can help you on your healing journey.

3:07 Cancer patients can extend their life expectancy by 40% by losing weight and getting exercise. My doctor said to take 10,000 steps a day.

4:43 Modern convenience has cocooned us into this electric shell. Just getting out into nature and getting your feet in the ground (grounding) makes a big difference.

5:09 I’ve gone mostly vegetarian but Sunday is for comfort food. Diet and exercise have been big changes and I make sure I get my fruits and vegetables.

6:04 I do fresh vegetable juices to get as much nutrition into my body.

6:33 When I was at the hospital waiting to have my first surgery, the Lord touched me and said I was going to be all right.

7:21 I want to produce results in people’s lives.

9:55 A Healing Strong group meeting is a conversation with a coursework curriculums that I pass out before the meeting. The last meeting we talked about forgiveness and touched on breathing techniques, and also a prayer.

11:58 I took the Certified Holistic Cancer Coaching course with Beat Cancer because I realized early on that I was in over my head. I had only been focusing on colon cancer and solid tumors for 2 1/2 years. I needed a groundwork and a baseline understanding to take people from square one to square two gently, with love, letting them know we can do this. It’s doable. It’s a good hands-on practical approach that if you heal the body sometimes the cancer goes away.

13:48 Our Healing Strong group meetings meet once a month, but I am open to more if someone needs more. I’m in the Bay City Michigan area.

14:50 You can find a group meeting at www.healingstrong.org where there is a map to look for meetings in your area. You can email or call me with questions. I am happy to help 24/7.

17:08 Healing Strong Is Bible-based but we are not a church and this is not an evangelical effort. We are trying to clear up confusion and help the people that are scared, alone and confused.

18:38 I hate it when someone’s eternity is screwed up. There’s a book called Cancer Can’t Kill You When You’re Already Dead by Dr. Kevin Connors. It’s a short read. It only took me one hour to get through, and it points out that this is not all there is. Eternity is real.
