The Resilience Model of Cancer Care (RMOCC) is an integrative medical treatment model for people
with cancer, which relies on the functionality of the human condition, and not necessarily on
anti-cancer strategies for its success. The model is fundamentally embedded in the notion that
conventional approaches continue to have the best anti-cancer, stopping or killing effect, although
they have no real mechanism to treat the true human condition and promote resilience—-which is the
entrance point for our model

The Resilience Model of Cancer Care™ is based on 16 guiding principles:

Our Model™ does not take into consideration any specific relationship to a specific named higher
power/God/entity as this is left open to the individual and therefore transcends any specific type
of formal religion and allows it to become all-inclusive for all human beings. Should someone want
to engage in a certain spiritual practice that would be classified under human
interconnectedness.
An underlying precept of the Resilience Model of Cancer Care™ is the concept of change. The ability
to change is an essence of the human experience. In order to adapt to one’s environment, especially
as one is becoming more resilient, change will be easier and more acceptable, both mentally and
physically. The essence of the human experience is change and cannot be denied herein.

Also, we need to be very careful in this Model™ not to confuse empowerment with resilience.
Somebody could be empowered because they are resilient, but just because one would be empowered
doesn’t mean that they are resilient. And just because somebody is resilient doesn’t mean that they
are powered one way or another. There is an intersection with this, but one does not define the
other , nor does a role and defining the other per se.

Art is a modified version of oneself—it is creativity expressed in form—outward form which is
viewable, understandable and enjoyable by others. Whether this be in prose, paint, fabric, dance,
song, poetry or other … It is important for one to be able to denote themselves in a way that
enables enjoyment of self-expression. There is art in all of us and our Model™ seeks to highlight and to help one outline the art within and allow it to become outward as an expression towards
healing.

Love is a broad term in this regard and should not be mistaken for being “in love.” But rather love
in its broadest, and most sensible realm. Love for oneself love just for being love. There are some
that don’t understand the expression of love, which can take many forms, and be shown in many ways
in the Resilience Model™, the expression of love is both an outward and an inword expression and
both have importance. It is a difficult concept to master, but being able to express love is just
as important as being able to feel loved, and for some acceptance is more difficult than giving.
Acceptance does take resilience and brilliance simultaneously.

Genetics is simply what it is; genetics is what we as each individual human comes to this life with
and how we as individuals approach our environment and all of it. It is the fabric within which we
are able to work our life, whether it be ethereal, physical or transcendental. Genetics allows us
to promote the type of expression that we outwardly demonstrate in the world and to others.
Genetics are modifiable through epigenetics, and therefore challenges with where we are in space
and time in the world. Genetics is one version of our essence, but by no means the ultimate.

Physicality is mostly in reference to one’s environment, and later will get into the concept of
environmental enrichment. Which means that as one enrich is their environment their physicality may
change as well. Physicality also means listening to your body; becoming aware of signals and
messages from it and then acting upon those. for instance, yawning,

Humans are beings are in large part, frequencies. We are beings of frequencies of light, vibration
and sound. Humans are comprised of cells and hence it goes that cells are the sensitive to
vibrations frequencies, light tones, and the harmonics of the universe. EMF mitigation seeks to
mitigate harmful frequencies that our bodies are, seemingly more and more constantly bathed and
introducing frequencies that are friendly to the body and not friendly to cancerous cells.

Nutrition density simply refers to the ascription of a certain value to a certain food. A blueberry
or the skin of a blueberries would have high nutrition density as it would have many sun points so
to speak, and would be classified as a higher level food than as salt cracker which, would be one
of the lowest-density foods. Lettuce as well would be classified regarding densities in terms of
the types of lettuce like pure white iceberg lettuce would be a lower density vs an organic,
homegrown red leaf lettuce.

Movement hours is something that could be calculated on a weekly or a monthly basis, and is to be
summarized as follows within a ranking system: Akin to nutrition density, and there might be a
point system which ultimately may become tedious (builds resilience), so it has to be something
that’s easily calculable and almost automatic through a device. Movement hours is to be considered
one of the finer points of this text. And as much as our continuing and new dependence on
technology. There is a limit to what we as human beings within this, and shortly future generations
can tolerate in terms of health and resilience in the age of technology. Consider movement hours
consider skateboard versus a scooter versus a motorized scooter. Consider that one of the greatest
inventions of humankind is the bicycle. What is the fastest moving animal on earth? Is it the
jaguar? Is it the flight of the sparrow? Or is it a human on a bicycle? And now consider the
revolution of the electronic bike. Although you’re moving, you’re not under fully human-powered
movement, so this section movement hours is considered fully human powered movement self
propellation. In the section we also need to talk about human dexterity. One of the finer arts of
the human body is its ability for self propelling force. Now, in the context of cancer and other
disease, of course we need to consider that some people may have, unfortunately, achieved limitation in their ability for self propelled movement. And certainly as we age. But this is where resilience comes in.

A positive self avatar is just that. People see themselves in the world, walking the Earth
day-to-day they have visions of themselves and dreams. They themselves before they go up on stage
before they go into a meeting before asking a person out on a date there’s all sorts of ways that
people visualize themselves. There’s also negativity involved with this, perhaps during or before a
scan or before you go into a doctor’s office being scared that you may get a negative finding but a
positive self avatar means visualizing yourself in the world in the universe in a beneficial,
heartfelt non-harmful way so that when you see yourself doing something, even something
fantastical, which brings about the ocean of a universe that translates into something deep within
the tissues held within the body and the more positive that self-avatar vision, the more positive
the body holds that vision.

Acuity of the senses… Why? Our senses is how we interact with everything: looking at something
beautiful and feeling a feeling, hearing the results of the test, smelling the aromas of
home-cooked meal or the healing sense of an individualized essential oil mix… Speaking words of
positivity from one mouth, and of course, the sense of touch the sense of feel all of this is part
of human interconnectedness. All of this is how we interact with the world around us. These are
senses that we are cognizant of, and certainly modern medical thinking and has transcended this
because we are now aware that our body senses quite unconsciously, to some extent vibrations
frequencies amplitude and other bioelectrical impulses that occur. Some of these are very healing.
Some of these are neutral and some of these obviously could be quite harmful. And this is where
frequency mitigation interacts

Remediation of infectivity. Infections come in various types, such as bacterial, viral, fungal, or
parasitic. When one has chronic or substantive infections of one or various types one’s true
potential is not realized whether it be in performance, immune activity, sleep, pulmonary function,
or other. Understanding and remediation of infection is an important part of the Resilience Model
of Cancer Care™

Cognitive motivation is a central pillar Resilience Model™. It’s one of the factors that weaves all
other factors together. Cognitive motivation simply refers to having first the potential, and then
the wherewithal to achieve what it is that needs to be achieved. Whether it be must string up the
energy to go to an appointment or finding the time during the day to exercise or maybe forcing
yourself to relax at night. Or picking up a book and reading it. But it also means recognizing
potential for resilience within oneself and manifesting and creating and seeing through the plan to
actualize that resilience.

Creativity is an enormous part of human motivation, and has enabled humankind to develop. Without
creativity a part of us all becomes annihilated. Creative outlets therefore have a large role to
play in the way that our brains function, and therefore have significant impact on the overall
wellness and resilience of the human body and mine. Creativity is an essential part of the
resilience model. Creativity can come in various forms for some art and for some that art form
comes in various flavors such as painting or storytelling. Creativity could also be creative
visualization especially when one visualizes their wellness and their resilience. Again without
creativity human would not be where they are today medicines would not have been invented.
Technology would not have been created. There is a certain place in the wholeness or there are
certain places in the wholeness of the human mind reserved for creativity. In fact, it could be
contemplated that creativity transcends a certain place and instead helps linked together the human
neurological connectivity network. Creativity facilitates possibilities. In my opinion, possibilities are always there. It just takes facilitation to bring them about. And this indeed is the essence of creativity.

Relationship with nature. This is an enormous concept. Easier for some more difficult for others.
The closer you are to city dwelling the more difficult it’s going to be to really embed yourself in
nature. But we know from data that nature bathing is essential for human well-being. Sometimes the
greater, the effort, the greater, the virtue and the greater the reward/result. With this means is
that if someone has to drive further to get out to do a hike or a mountain bike ride or go camping
then somebody else sometimes the effort that’s put into, the activity ends up being a higher
reward. However, it’s most likely the case that the further you live from nature, the last often
you’re going to indulge yourself and such. There are various types of relationships. Humans can
have with nature. It could be a simple as going out into your yard finding interesting rocks them
and creating and design in the soil with them for others it may be planting a garden from which
they eat for some. It may be a three day backpacking trip in the mountains, and for some the
greatest enjoyment may come from relaxing on a beautiful beach in the perfect climate for each for
that person. Whatever it is most importantly, a relationship with nature needs to be a
three-dimensional experience and cannot be achieved with a two dimensional device or merely reading
about it or watching about it. It must be indulged.

Bio physiological balance encompasses the wholeness of what we could consider general medicine.
This takes into account laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging, clinical evaluations and
assesmenets, medications, supplements of all different types. It’s basically the generalized
aspects of internal medicine all wrapped into one concept. Now we know in this Model™ that all of
these precepts will interact to create a certain bio physiological balance, but it’s how we
predict, diagnose, interpret, and then act on these types of findings that you would typically have
at your doctor’s office that create the bio physiological balance that we’re talking about in the
Resilience Model™. It’s a giant subject, but it’s only a small part of the RMOCC™. Bio
physiological balance simply means thinking far outside the box of homeostasis, and rather
interprets the interactions of the body and a millisecond by millisecond basis as a dynamic
process, which is ever and ongoing. And takes into account all process that are testable

Environmental enrichment basically means “not doing the same thing over again every day” or at
least for the most part, It is simply the manner in which we delve ourselves into our local
environment, and utilize its offerings for the smoothness which we seek to travel through life.
Environmental enrichment refers to stimulating the brain through physical and social surroundings
using a combination of inanimate and social stimulation to enhance sensory cognitive motor and
social stimulation.

Human interconnectedness is the most obviously undeniable concept in our Mode™l. Ever be on a run
or walking outside and youpass by someone, ready casually greet them when they do not even
acknowledge your presence? Like you are literally 2 to 3 feet from them and the other person will
not even look my way. Nevertheless I voice hello, however without a return. And now with this world
of, easy to access content with personal AirPods, etc.. We are being pulled away from each other.
Look at the workspaces look at the work at home even certain treatments have become virtual. in
someways virtual allows for greater connectivity within the human context. Maintaining human
interconnectedness and or reestablishing. It is of upmost importance in this model. The notion of
human touch is also important, but the consideration for human interconnectedness just being in the
same place. Now there are times when this can become to phonetic say like at a basketball game or
at a very busy bar that’s not necessarily the place that people need to become interconnected, but
that’s quite different than a sound bath. And what is the actual meaning of contactless in the
current scheme of things? What did contactless used to mean and what does it mean now and how does
that relate to our ability to achieve resilience? The idea is not to ignore. The notion of contactless in the modern world is more to understand it, and create your life with allowance for it without it creating fright, or limit you in your ability
to remain in contact physically, and connected with humanity, instead of technology.
