It’s Important To Be Just You

   With  that  all said,  the  more ‘specialized  doctors’  become  today,                   the more they know about just a certain body part  0r 0rgan;  the less        they will tend  to understand the human being  in  whom  that part or     organ resides.  They will be least apt to answer a question  for  fear of reprisal or  fear of  being wrong.

     Dualism…. is when we as individuals has a hard time  saying  NO, physiologically emotions  are  in  themselves  electrical,  chemical and hormonal discharges  of  the human nervous system.  Emotions affect, influence and are influenced by ~ the functioning of our major organs.       The integrity 0f  our  immune defenses,  when emotions  are repressed       this inhibitions disarms the body defenses against illness. 

    In  numerous  studies  0f  cancer….  the most consistently identified           risk  factor is the inability to express emotions, particularly the  feeling associated with anger.  The repression of  anger is not an abstract trait         0f emotion  that leads to dis-ease  and  it is a major risk  factor  because         it increases physiological stress on the organism. Therefore, the person    who doesn’t  feel  or express  “negative”  emotion will  feel isolated even around  friends because their real self is being hidden.

     The sense of  hopelessness  follows ‘the chronic inability’  to be true             to oneself  in the deepest levels  and that hopelessness  leads to  feelings          0f  helplessness.  Since nothing  one can do  is perceived  as making any   difference  and  you  feel  subordinate,  therefore, cancer is apt to occur        in  those  with  a  helplessness  ~  prone personality  and  that  sense  0f helpless  frustration.

    This  influence  0f  that  psychological  risk  factor  can  be  seen  in         about 80% 0f  all cancer, is so poignantly illustrated in the life history          0f  Gilda Radner. Gilda Radner’s  maternal aunt and two cousins died           0f  ovarian  cancer,  and  her  mother  successfully  treated  for  breast  cancer. While  for most women  whom  develop ovarian cancer  about              8 percent carry one 0f  the genetic mutations known to increase risk.

    Depending  upon  which  strand 0f  DNA involved  those  with  this mutation  in  one  gene,   could  have  a  63  percent  risk 0f  developing cancer by age seventy  and  for those women  whose mutation is in the    other  gene;   have  a  27  percent  risk  of  ovarian  cancer  by  the  age seventy  five.  Also  women without the mutation but who have a  first   degree relative  (mother, sister or daughter)  with ovarian cancer the       risk is only  5 percent.

     In the last paragraph  we see that genes in themselves  do not tell              the whole story. Gilda Radner  sparkled with manic energy  and a zest        for  experience,  however,  carried  psychological burdens 0f  a  highly stressful and self – negating life. This slim star of  Saturday Night Live        was bulimic and more than likely that affected her hormonal balance.      With  a relationship  with her mother  intensely negative,  marked  by competition  for her  father’s attention.

     All  her  adult life Gilda,  a self  confessed workaholic who let work,       stress  and  pressure dictate her lifestyle, who out of  sheer desperation,  promiscuously  sought  love,  acceptance  until  she  met,  and  married    Gene Wilder.  To  a  great extent  left  the men in her life  controlled  her  every  move by making herself  into  something  they  preferred.  Never  truly being herself  she  found  it impossible to speak emotional truth.

      Gilda  was  always  more  interested  in  satisfying  others  needs            more than with her own need to be herself.  While on a youthful trip to    Paris,  France  threw  herself  out  into  traffic  in  a  dramatic  suicidal  gesture  and was surprised that  a  friend  saved  her.  Only close to her    death did Gilda realize you can’t be all things to all people & must take         care of  yourself  before you can take care of  others.     Gilda’s Club
