During Radiation Treatments, I tried to follow the Visualization therapy approach recommended by Dr. Jeanne Achterberg. To focus my mind, I had a toy ray gun with flashing lights and sounds that I would hold to my neck over the tumor spot and visualize individual white cells as little Tommy Tomorrow (an early 1960s comic book hero- part of the Planeteers) figures with ray guns all blasting away at the cancer cells at the base of my tongue and in the left lymph nodes.
The radiation staff got a real kick out of it - and it seemed significant because although I had bought the ray gun back in Philadelphia on South Street in 1981, it had a logo across it of "Space Thunder - 2007" - the same year as radiation.
Again curious if any other OCF posters used any Healing Imagery or Visualization therapy during their treatment.
I figured it couldn't hurt (since I kept up with both radiation and chemo). Bear in mind, I am not confusing correlation with causation which is the false basis for alternative treatments or otherwise I would open ray gun clinics in Mexico since I used to have Stage IV cancer. But Achterberg was on the Advisory Board, Unconventional Cancer Treatments Study Group, Office of Technology Assessment, U.S. Congress and I felt it did help me.
