FOREWORD
Of all the diseases known to man, cancer is the most feared. Each
year millions die of cancer of the lung, breast, intestines, prostate
and dozens of other forms. Individuals who escape the tragedy of
cancer are blessed, and families free of cancer have much to be
grateful for.
Although medical science claims to be winning the war on cancer,
the mortality statistics show otherwise. Even when cancer is
discovered and treated early, many patients ultimately succumb to
the disease. Despite the latest advances in treatment, the cure rate
for certain forms of cancer remains abysmal.
Why is this so?
The crux of the matter is that the cause of cancer is still not
well understood by medical scientists. Nor does medical science
recognise the role of the hidden killer in the picture, the so-called
‘cancer microbe’—the infectious agent that is always present and
active in cancer. As the cancerous process continues, these microbes
greatly increase in number and toxicity. Unrecognised by medical
scientists, it is this hidden infectious process that causes the
debilitation, weight loss, loss of appetite and deterioration that every
dying cancer patient experiences. Our inability to cure cancer largely
stems from the refusal to recognise the existence and importance
of the cancer microbe.
For many years traditional medicine has used surgery, radiation
and chemotherapy as the primary forms of treatment for cancer.
For some patients this has proved successful. However, for all those
who have died of cancer these forms of therapy must be considered
a failure. Obviously, new forms of cancer therapy must be undertaken
if we are to improve our ability to cure it.
The extreme resistence of orthodox medicine to alternative forms
v

of cancer treatment is legendary. Any form of therapy that does
not include surgery, radiation or chemotherapy is likely to encounter
severe condemnation by the medical establishment.
The conventional approach to cancer treatment is directed at
killing the cancer by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In this
process the patient is expected to do little else but cooperate fully
in the oncologist’s treatment plan. If the treatment fails, the physician
sadly declares that everything that could have been done was done.
The cancer simply did not respond to the treatment.
It is a rare doctor who will challenge the system and dare to
suggest that more can be done and should be done for the healing
of cancer. It is a rare doctor who will encourage the patient to
use the power of the mind and suggest meditation and affirmations
in the fight against disease. Rarely do physicians suggest dietary
changes, or the addition of supplements, vitamins and minerals as
adjuncts for cancer treatment.
In this book, Ruth Cilento bravely presents unorthodox and
controversial elements of cancer healing for your consideration.
In addition, Dr Cilento brings the reader a treasure trove of
knowledge derived from the research of the great cancer pioneers
who have studied the cancer microbe, and who have developed
therapies to combat its harmful effects in the body. ‘Wholistic’
treatment methods for cancer are often criticised as being
unscientific; however, in the light of cancer microbe research studies,
the rationale for wholistic treatment begins to take on additional
meaning and significance.
For many years I have studied the cancer microbe, not only in
cancer but also in other immunologic diseases, including AIDS. I
am often asked how the cancer microbe can be killed.
It took me many years to figure out that the cancer microbe
is, in reality, inseparable from us. The cancer microbe resides in
everyone, the healthy people and the sick. It is in us and of us
and cannot be destroyed—only transformed.
People who have been cured of cancer are living in harmony
with the cancer microbe.
Everything that happens to us serves as an opportunity for growth
and transformation. Even a diagnosis of cancer can serve as a stimulus
for positive change in our lives.
Each of us must pioneer our healing in the way that is best for
Foreword vii
us. Doctor Cilento has vast experience as a medical healer. I applaud
her willingness to share her experiences with others in need of
guidance and support in difficult circumstances.
I admire Dr Cilento’s courage in presenting the controversial ideas
contained in this book. It is my belief that cancer can eventually
be conquered by opening our minds to new ideas about its origin
and treatment. In this process we will undoubtedly discover new
facets of our mind-body-spirit relationship which also connects us
all to one another, to the planet and to the cosmos.
