Cancer, Love & the Medicine Within - with Dr. Carol Haddad - Integrative Oncologist, ICCA
Description
In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dr. Carol Haddad, integrative oncologist and founder of Integrative Cancer Care Australia (ICCA), to explore a powerful truth: the patient is the creator of their own medicine.
We talk about cancer as a catalyst, the evolving role of integrative care, and the importance of love as the medicine - not romantic love, but the consciousness of love that transforms the healing journey.
Together, we reflect on the paradox of will and surrender, the unseen power of bedside manner as energetic transmission, and a beautiful new concept: remission of the mind where the mind learns to live in harmony with a healed body.
This conversation is for those navigating cancer, their loved ones, and the medical professionals ready to hear a new paradigm in healing. May it ripple out as medicine you didn’t know you were seeking.
