Many cancer patients are finding new hope in an unusual approach to cancer treatment. The common method has been developed by Carl Simonton, a specialist in the science of tumors.  1  can sometimes be "truly amazing," he says, when a cancer   2   lets his mind take part in the treatment.

Simonton remembers that his first patient might have been thought to be a "  3  ” case by some. "He was a sixty-one-year-old man with very severe throat cancer.  He had lost a great deal of weight. He could  4  swallow his own saliva and could eat no food.

"I taught him to  5   and mentally see his disease," Simonton says. "Then I had him  6   an army of white blood cells coming, attacking and  7  the cancer cells. The results of the treatment were both exciting and frightening. Within two weeks his cancer had noticeably become smaller and he was quickly gaining weight. I say it was '  8  ' because I had never seen such a change. I wasn't sure what was going on. I also didn't know what I would do if things went wrong. But  9  didn't go wrong.

"We may believe that we have the power in our own bodies to fight cancer as well as the power to   10   the disease in the first place.  With those patients who are willing to stay with us and try, we always find that the cancer has filled some emotional need."
