The old story goes ...



That a good way to trap monkeys is to have a hollowed out coconut tethered to a stake.
Inside you place some cooked rice or other monkey delicacy which can be got at through a small hole.
The monkey puts his hand through the hole, grabs the food, but then can't withdraw unless he loses the food by un-clenching his fist.
The monkey is trapped - not physically but by a notion that when you see rice hold on tight - a principle that served him well in the past but has now become possibly fatal.
The problem is he can't let go of an old idea...

Could conventional cancer treatments be a monkey trap? The difficulty lies not in new ideas but in getting away from old ones. Perceptions can blind us to perhaps a better way of doing things.

Just a thought?

Yes, Drew, I think you are absolutely right. We are so "stuck" in our old notions and habits, that we can't see what we really should be doing for our health! Instead we repeat the same patterns that got us stuck in the first place, and get frustrated when it doesn't work. Letting go is key.
