Introduction
If you got the diagnosis of cancer – what would you do? Operation, chemotherapy, radiation, all the treatments which normally are offered and which seem the only possible ones? there are sources that state that chemotherapy is to 97% ineffective – but you get all the negative side effects and most likely you will die because of them. 80% of cancer doctors woulnd’t use chemotherapy for themselves if they should have cancer. – So WHY WOULD YOU? Just because the doctors say it, because they are obliged to tell you only what they are allowed by their professional orders, because they are NOT allowed to doubt openly the mainstream medication – which gives huge profits to certain institutions?
Fortunately we have free access to information and we can chose other ways and get professional guidance which is not woowoo or based on superstitious beliefs. All kinds of alternative medicines have developed in the last century, from Homeopathy to Energy Healing. Connecting all these paths would be the task of “INTEGRAL MEDICINE”.
In today’s episode we talk with Lynne Feldman the author of the book “Integral Healing ”.
She will tell us about her own path after the cancer diagnosis and about her understanding of healing in the integral level of consciousness.
About LYNNE D. FELDMAN
Lynne is a New Jersey-based lawyer, teacher, and minister. Her 2014 book, Integral Healing tells the story of how she healed herself of two forms of life-threatening cancer using a unique healing approach inspired by “integral philosophy,” a practical model that combines scientific and spiritual perspectives. Feldman has been a pioneer in the integral movement, serving as a founding member of the Integral Institute and the Vice Chancellor of Integral University. Feldman has also enjoyed two successful careers. As a practicing lawyer since 1986, she has handled both civil and criminal cases, including multiple appearances before the New Jersey Appellate and Supreme Courts. She has also served as a High School teacher for nearly 20 years, and was honored by the New Jersey State Legislature. Feldman is currently retired, and serves as an ordained minister helping victims of serious illness to cope with their disease.

MEN ARE GOOD
DECEMBER 10th 2014
Tom Golden rises his voice in defence of men who are very much under attack nowadays as the creators of patriarchy and the evil doers against women. This is actually not true. Tom Golden has written a book about the rehabilitation of men today.
FOR THESE EARLY EVENTS THERE IS a G+ EVENT PAGE AVAILABLE
Introduction
MEN ARE GOOD:It sounds strange to hear that, doesn’t it? Yet in the din of so much public (and private!) debate about the roles of men and women in this century, we can forget that half the people on the planet have their own unique, though somewhat unfashionable, worth…just because they are men!
Since women stepped up and claimed their liberation in the 60ies, men more and more got confused about themselves, what their role is in life, their worth as a human being, as a husband or partner and so on. In their attempt to free themselves women demonized men as the oppressors and the only cause of their suffering. To be born as a boy in some environment was BAD, like being something just tolerated and seen as inferior. It is time to come to a balance and consider what REALITY is, time for women to give up defining themselves by their relationship to men, and time for men to become whole as human beings and claim their rightful place in human society.

About Tom Golden
Tom is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the Washington DC area. He is an expert in MEN’S ISSUES. He has written several books to help men to grow up into a new way of being. “The Way MEN HEAL” – the title of one book – is different than the way women heal. As a public speaker and clinical social worker Tom brings these news to MEN and WOMEN alike: MAN ARE GOOD, maybe not in all individual cases, but as a species they are just as good as anybody else. And they have, like women, learn to overcome the restrictions and conditionings which patriarchy has put on all of us.
