Preventive Medicine
Radical Forgiveness provides one of the best preven-
tive measures available. Radical Forgiveness clears
the energy in the subtle bodies long before it becomes
a block in the physical body. When I help people re-
solve forgiveness issues by using Radical Forgiveness
Therapy, like I did with my sister Jill, I believe I am not
only helping them heal a wound in their subtle body, I

am helping them prevent disease occurring in the physi-
cal body. I am convinced that if we keep the energy
flowing in our bodies as it was designed to do, we never
will get sick. Though I no longer do the five-day cancer
retreats, I nevertheless regard the Radical Forgiveness
workshops that I now present all around the world as
cancer prevention workshops.
Of course, adequate exercise, good diet, and other
such common sense practices help in this regard as
well. However, keeping our energy bodies clear of emo-
tional dross and toxicity is of primary importance to
good health and healing. Unfortunately, this aspect of
healing gets the least media attention, despite the fact
that, in America alone, one out of every five people takes
an antidepressant drug like Prozac. Bearing in mind
that depression always precedes cancer, we have to
wonder whether it is mere coincidence that one out of
five Americans also dies of cancer.
Forgiveness and Cancer
I am often asked why I work with people who have can-
cer. I have had no personal experience with it, and I
knew little about it from a medical standpoint when I
began offering five-day cancer retreats for emotional
and spiritual healing in the early 1990’s.
It was only after doing this for some time that I realized
why I was attracted to this work. It was because it linked
up with my interest with forgiveness. That insight oc-
curred when I discovered that nearly all cancer patients,
besides having a lifetime habit of suppressing and re-
pressing emotions, are known to share a marked in-
ability to forgive.
I now believe that lack of forgiveness contributes to,
and may even be a principal cause of, most cancers.
Therefore, my healing work with cancer patients, and
with those who want to prevent the disease from aris-

entirely on Radical Forgiveness Therapy.
