FIONA: Are there any harmful substances that people with cancer should avoid?
GUIDES: Yes we could answer this, and no, we are not going to. The reason for this is that what is helpful and what is harmful is unique to an individual. Painting a blanket picture of what is or isn’t good for you is not helpful in this case. We must be mindful not to spread fear into the minds and hearts of those who are already fearful.
It is possible to exist in this environment and maintain health. There are those of you who are living with and/or are surrounded by those who do not have cancer, who dioxins or other environmental toxicity has not necessarily affected. This is important.
Work to be sustainable. This will reduce your contact with a number of environmental pollutants and more importantly it will set in motion the chain by which you were born. Having a soulful connection with the body, with the whole and with the environment. This is a bigger and more fundamental issue than any foodstuff- perhaps even any medicine.

11: Cancer medication & chemotherapy &side effects
Background from Fiona
This was and remains a painful session I had with the guides (Zoe channelling). It probed many of my fears, upsets, views and prejudices. I was pretty grumpy and upset towards the end and the guides were pretty straight talking in their responses to me!
START
FIONA: Many people taking medication for cancer for both the short or long term get painful side effects and symptoms. What is your advice?
GUIDES: If this is the best that is given, and you believe it will help you, then understand that whatever you put into the body will have an effect on the body. Do not allow your spirits to be brought down. For example, those who choose to try mangisteen would soon find it has a huge laxative effect. That is cause and effect. You eat more mangisteen and have to spend time on the loo. If you consume pharmaceuticals you will experience an effect on the body.
Humans only wish to experience positive effects and wish to eradicate the negative effects- this is not always possible. But whilst there may be unpleasant effects, and what might seem downright unkind effects of medication, remember why you are taking this.
Do not allow your mind to cause further suffering by dwelling on these side effects. Embrace the possibilities they are presenting to you. You are already ingesting them and they are already at work within your system.
Have we answered this?
FIONA: Yes. I have been wondering whether the harsh effects of chemotherapy, such as losing hair, feeling ill, vomiting, etc, are some way of us wanting to punish ourselves.
GUIDES: We would love, in the future, for medical studies to include a mental and emotional response to a drug. This would be very difficult. All that is ever important is the relationship between one’s self and the drug.
On the diagnosis of cancer one feels like a failure, then one’s option, when one already feels like a failure, is to take what feels like poison. You are on to something, Fiona.
However, for as long as this is the best that is available then, for those who wish to extend their lives and have a window of hope, this is the best option. How you respond to this option mentally and emotionally is crucial. We see that there are now support centres for those diagnosed with cancer, coming to terms with the words, “you have cancer”. We applaud this. This is what is needed. You did not give yourself cancer. You did not do this to punish yourself. This was not a conscious choice.
Similarly there are a tiny amount of you who would choose chemotherapy or other forms, as a way to punish yourself consciously. We often hear, from the hearts and minds of those going through this: “I deserve this”. “This is my worth”. “This is it now”. This saddens us a great deal. There is no need for punishment; this is simply the best of what is available. The medics understand it is crude. However, it is the best of what is available. Nothing is ever willingly given to someone as the worst option. Medicine is not an instrument of torture although for some it feels as if it is.
Therefore, we say, come to terms with your diagnosis as quickly as possible. Understand the mechanisms that have been happening within the body. Boost the life affirm-ment in life and you will cope, with not only the diagnosis, with not only the medication, but the within the body living as well. After all, that is what you are here doing. A diagnosis and forms of medication is all part of living at this moment. Coming to terms with this will help you immensely and certainly aid the recovery that is available to you.
FIONA: I don’t believe that chemo is always the best option.
GUIDES: That is your opinion.
FIONA: But you said it is the best option available to people.
GUIDES: You wouldn’t. Look at your relationship with it.
FIONA: But if you look at the statistics, for example, for those with early stage breast cancer the percentage increase in survival with some types of chemo for some patient groups is only around 3%. This is for a therapy which may cause other physical issues to the body which may then take years to recover from.
GUIDES: Then why not die immediately? Why bother speaking to a Dr?
The fact that there is a mechanism, you say a 3% chance of help, is a wonder of life. Just because it does not come in a pleasant bottle does not mean that it does not say love and life within it. We have yet to meet many people who enjoy chemotherapy. Having an appropriate mental and emotional response to the medicine of choice is helpful. What is the medicine of choice? That is the medicine of choice you are offered from your practitioner. You always have the ability to say yes or no to it.
You are at a different stage now, Fiona. That 3% would have meant more to you then than it does now.
FIONA: I know someone who was killed by chemotherapy. Her cancer was early stage. What are your thoughts?
GUIDES: That is an individual case.
We can say that for many an exit clause is given prior to greater suffering. When the time of passing is near there needs to be a mechanism to take you from where you are to where we are. That can be a bee sting; that can be a car.
All of you: be careful of where the mind and the heart wish to rest on the subject of medication for you. For as long as you are taking medication be proud of the fact that you are affirming to yourself that you want something better than where you are, and work towards achieving that.
Lift your hearts and minds to the possibility of creating a better life. Medicines and foods were not put in place to make your lives worse, to take a bad situation and compound it even further. But to give you light, hope.
We leave you with this for today, Fiona. We ask you to look at your personal relationship with your medication.

6: Your body did not do this to you
Background to call: Fiona is feeling ill
FIONA: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO START TO TRUST YOUR BODY AGAIN AFTER A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER? MANY PEOPLE FEEL THEY CANNOT TRUST THEIR BODIES. THEY FEEL THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEIR BODIES AND HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY THEIR BODIES.
GUIDES: Yes, this is a very relevant question.
It is often the case that their body has done this to them. Their body has taken away life from them. What they fail to understand is that they had taken away life from themselves and the body simply responded.
Understand, all of you who are living with the name cancer or who are waiting for a period of time to pass until you don’t need to use it anymore. Understand that the body did not let you down; neither did you deliberately chose cancer.
Sometimes within the alternative movement you are told that, “you created it yourself”. Whilst your body responded to your relationship with your life, we are not sure if we have ever experienced an individual who sat down and deliberately manifested cancer cells to overrun their immune system and create a mass. So understand that the body didn’t let you down. There was something happening in your life to the point of diagnosis and perhaps to this point today, that opened up the mechanism for exit.
With this knowledge understand that you can now support your body, for it is only your body that can rid itself of this. It may be able to do so if it not too far down the track to the connection with exit. How far down are you on that connection to exit? Only you can know that. Your Drs may give you insight based on what they have seen with other people but only you can know how alive you are. Even if you are feeling alive the connection to exit may still be in place for you for it has been firmly established and cannot be overwritten. But until you know that, live and enjoy life.
Your body did not do this to you and you did not do this to your body with deliberate intention. However, the manifestation to the exit did occur. This usually happens for there has been a lack of connection to life. Very occasionally the connection to exit can occur because spiritually your time has come. A time will come for all of you. We hope this work survives its co-creators but it will come for them too.
We certainly do not do this to your bodies. Sometimes you blame God: “God did this to me”. Or, God is a real “bleep” because he won’t take this away. Or, where are my angels now that I am dying? Your angels now are always with you, including when you are dying.
So, understand that the body requires care and attention. The more fearful you are of the body, the more we urge you to love your body; the more you continue to fear and resent your body, the more you will disconnect from the reality of life which is - you are alive within your body. Do whatever it takes for you to begin to love your body again and by this we do not mean lose weight or gain weight. We mean love. It is not about the form of the body or what the form represents to those around you or what you believe the form means because of standards that others, including your society. Love yourself for who you are. Care for your body. The more you are fearful, the more you must work at this. The greater the journey will be for you to love yourself once more.
You cannot heal and disrespect your body at the same time. Healing must come via the physical. It can be positively influenced via the mind and via the spirit but its mechanisms must work via the cellular functioning’s of the body. You cannot do this by hating and resenting your body. So, your body did something that you didn’t consciously wish it to do; it is still giving you an opportunity to wake up. So, wake up and begin loving your body. Whatever this means. We have seen that for many this means taking up forms of dance, forms of creative expression via the body and we support this. We would also see a greater appreciation for the role of sexuality in your body. Genuine, authentic, feel good sexuality in your body.
What this is not to be is a drive to force the body back to health, devoid of love, such as we see. We see this on juice diets. “This will make you healthy, body; I don’t care if you don’t like it, body (i.e. it doesn’t taste good), you‘re having it”. That is not love. Nurture and nourish your body, with love. This is more powerful than any antioxidant you can put into your system. Understand this. Ideally, do both. When the body is in a state that has formed a mass, it is out of balance. Do what you have to do to bring it back into balance, with love. The prescription is love at the top and juice diets at the bottom, if at all.
Have we answered your question?
FIONA: YES, THANK YOU. I AM NOT GOING TO ASK ANYMORE QUESTIONS TODAY AS WE HAVE COVERED A LOT.
GUIDES: Yes, we agree. Your system has had enough. Recognise that you will be tired today, Fiona, for your system is out of balance and has been exposed to us!
FIONA: WHAT SHOULD I DO TO BRING IT BACK INTO BALANCE?
GUIDES: Rest, all you need is rest. You have been exerting yourself physically more than you are capable of doing. Do not allow the mind to do more than the body is able to handle.
You understand this? We will speak about this next time, this is very important. This is why many of you manifest a mechanism to exit. The body becomes so disengaged from the desires and the driving force of the mind. So learn the lesson with the virus and who knows maybe the cells with the “c” word will take care of themselves.
FIONA: IS THAT SUPPOSED TO TELL ME THAT I STILL HAVE NAUGHTY CELLS IN MY BODY?!
GUIDES: No, we are laughing at this. We knew this came next. It is our joke. You always have cells of these in the body.
FIONA: THAT IS TRUE
GUIDES: Use this part of the conversation on the blog. We leave you now. Goodbye and thank you.
FIONA: SEE YOU NEXT TIME

4: Fear of living and dying
FIONA: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO OVERCOME THE FEAR OF LIFE?
GUIDES: Live. How do you live? This is the best question you have asked us so far, Fiona. Do you know that many of you do not know how to live? What life is equated with, is an automatic functioning which feels like a death of the spirit. It is an alarm clock in the morning, a shower followed by something to eat, followed by a hard day at the office, followed by television, alcohol and then rest. This is life of a sort but living in its fullest extent is the enfoldment of self into the physical environment. This can happen through enjoyment but most importantly this can happen through connection to everything in life.
Zoë has just written about the importance of being conscious through your domestic life. This is what we mean by this. It means switching off autopilot. Hear your alarm; if you don’t like it choose another one. If you hate it, go to bed earlier so you can wake without one. It is about engaging with everything that is before you and assessing: Can I, in my entirety, exist with this? This is why we say, if you do not like your alarm call get another one. Why should you be woken by an alarming sound that instils fear and dread into you when you could be woken up with birdsong? But this is not something people think about.
Similarly, be aware of everything you choose to expose yourself to. You are a sensory being. You have your five senses. Yet many people expose themselves to sensory material that is fashionable rather than allows the spirit to unfold and enjoy itself in. There was once a movement, backed by us for obvious reasons that encouraged the enfoldment of spirit through love, beauty and truth. We think it is time for this again.
Give us some specifics, Fiona, and we’ll give you some suggestions. We feel our answer is very clear from our perspective but perhaps not for those who will find it difficult to live because they may never have done it.
FIONA: I WILL GIVE YOU SOME SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF THINGS WHICH PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER MAY FIND DIFFICULT. IN WHICH PARTICULAR FEARS OF LIVING MAY BE TRIGGERED.
THE FIRST ONE IS A FEAR OF TRAVELLINGSOMEWHERE OR GOING ON HOLIDAY SOMEWHERE NEW. YOU DON’T KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT, OR WHETHER THERE IS ACCESS TO MEDICAL TREATMENT, OR WHAT THE FOOD IS LIKE, YOU DON’T KNOW THE ACCOMODATION OR WEATHER. YOU DON’T KNOW HOW YOUR BODY WILL RESPOND.
GUIDES: Let’s answer one by one.
You need to be aware that many people without cancer do not travel because of all of these fears. What does cancer mean to all of these fears? Nothing. What does it give to all of these fears? More fear. So, you need to ask yourself: what is important to me, living or being in fear? And you can choose that living to you means managing risks, such as healthcare. Management of risk will be different from one individual to another. One individual may think it is perfectly ok to go and explore their dream holiday in the jungles of Peru; this will be a way of for them to fulfil a lifelong dream. For another, managing risk will be going to a country such as Germany that is known for its cancer treatment. For another, it will mean going to the garden beside the hospital just in case anything happens.
Now, be mindful at all times, regardless of the fear: Where is my connection to life with this fear? The nature of fear is always to take the connection of life away. This is what fear does. It removes you from your immediate environment and creates another reality that, most often, does not exist. There is really only the onslaught of violence that requires the level of fear in the body that warrants an affirmation in life. That is what fear was originally designed to do: to take you away, to preserve your life, to make you run. If you wanted to go, then you could stand before that sabre tooth tiger. Nowadays, it is different.
Nowadays, the levels of perpetual fear in life create the equivalent of standing before the sabre tooth tiger and can create a situation that manifests illness or disease and that maybe a mass diagnosed as cancer.
Have we answered this? Let’s use you for this. Where would you like to go, Fiona? What would you like to do?
FIONA: I’D LIKE TO GO TO BRAZIL, THE CARRIBEAN, OR INDIA.
GUIDES: Which is the country that is best for you? Which is the country that is best for your cancer?
FIONA: I DON’T KNOW
GUIDES: We are glad you said that because we wouldn’t have liked an answer for your cancer for it would be a living reality all of its own rather than part of you.
If you have three countries you would like to explore, ask yourself , which, at this time, is the most life affirming. What do we mean by that? Which fills me with the most excitement? Excitement is a life affirming connection.
This can also be terrifying so, for example, if you have only travelled to your small town and suddenly you move to the big city this can be terrifying but if it is something you have always wanted to do then it is a good thing to experience. You can always go somewhere and decide to never do that again. You are not going to travel to a country and suddenly this country will manifest more cancer for you; only you can do that. So make decisions based on what will connect you more to yourself which is life and life which is also yourself, at any time.
FIONA: SOUNDS GOOD.
GUIDES: Live. How do you live? This is the best question you have asked us so far, Fiona. Do you know that many of you do not know how to live? What life is equated with, is an automatic functioning which feels like a death of the spirit.

You can always go somewhere and decide to never do that again. You are not going to travel to a country and suddenly this country will manifest more cancer for you; only you can do that. So make decisions based on what will connect you more to yourself which is life and life which is also yourself, at any time.
FIONA: SOUNDS GOOD.
