69. Dealing With Cancer: Part IVMy tumor was now the size of an egg and clearly visible; it was as if someone had sliced a hard-boiled egg lengthwise and implanted it under my skin. Its diagonal position at the upper right quadrant of my left breast was only half covered by my brassiere. More unsightly was the large, puffy, red keloid scar that had formed above it. Scar tissue from my four biopsies had grown together into one. I began to topically apply Vitamin E oil regularly. I still had not experienced any discomfort whatsoever, mental or otherwise and felt lucky that my minor disfigurement could not be seen in public; there would be no idle curiosity from strangers. The walls of the examination room were covered with the usual abundance of biological charts, nicely framed diplomas and certificates. My new doctor is a licensed chiropractor with a degree in pharmacology… hmmm. Two large charts showed the human body’s acupuncture meridians and nerve network. I picked up a pamphlet and sat down to read. “Contact Reflex Analysis” was written in very general terms, but I understood that “CRA” worked along a similar concept to acupuncture. When Dr. P walked into the room, I was struck with his high abundance of energy. A warm wave of fresh air washed over me. His brightly colored Hawaiian shirt, ease of manner and glowing countenance are more characteristic of one on vacation than a doctor at work. I wondered if his all white/gray hair was permed. It’s unusual to see a white man with an Afro style, especially for his age, though I couldn’t possibly guess the age of this very fit looking man. He wasted no time with superfluous chitchat, I was grateful. He showed me a picture of a hand taken by Kirlian photography, with which I was already familiar. I believe the photographic technique originated in Russia, whereby energy or electromagnetic impulses emitted by the human body show up in a halo of color. The colors vary according to mood and energy level. My friends and I always make it a point to have our Kirlian photos taken at the Whole Life Expo each time we go. It’s an interesting phenomenon to see how we each radiate differently, as evidenced by the depth and range of colors. I suspected that Dr. P’s color halo would extend out several feet from his body. Dr. P explained that the example of Kirlian photography shows a visual indication of temperature or energy emanating from the human body. He went on to explain that Contact Reflex Analysis, otherwise known as Kinesiology, is a technique, which can measure these electrical impulses for various health diagnoses.
