Sentenced to death

The book is a polemical exploration of cancer and the ways it has been understood and treated. The first section examines the history of cancer research, statistical trends, major discoveries of the twentieth century, stage classifications, and current treatment methods, including surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The author analyzes theories of carcinogenic factors through the lens of Karl Popper’s criterion of scientific falsifiability and questions the evidentiary foundation behind prevailing models. The second section focuses on holistic approaches, the structure of consciousness and the subconscious mind, and the foundations of psychosomatic medicine and psycho oncology. The third section explores the traditional use of sacred plants and psychedelic mushrooms in the healing practices of indigenous cultures as well as in contemporary research.

The book is intended for readers who have encountered a cancer diagnosis personally or within their family and who seek to expand beyond the conventional understanding of illness. It is written from the perspective of a practicing hypnotherapist and is not intended to replace professional medical care, as explicitly stated in the author’s disclaimer. The text is based on the author’s work with clients as well as a review of scientific and ethnographic sources.
