Obtaining a Positive Outlook After Accepting Your Mortality With Dr. Pradeep Bansal

We forget that death comes to us all.

We usually think it’ll come for others but accepting our own mortality is probably the most difficult thing to do.

It’s not that we think we can elude death. It’s that no one wants to think of the end…until the signs come up.

Dr. Pradeep Bansal was diagnosed with ureteral cancer (Sept, 2019). Pain and massive blood discharge during urination prompted him to go to the hospital where doctors found an early stage of cancer.

Stage 1 cancer didn’t merit chemotherapy. Dr. Pradeep went through a successful surgery that produced several good results. Everything was great until a year later, during a routine check-up, cancer of the bladder was found, along with a nodule in the lung.

In a year’s time, his cancer leaped to stage 4.

As a physician, he took it hard because he knew the worst that was coming.

Naturally, he became depressed. Physically, he felt fine with barely any symptoms at that point, but his state of mind was turbulent.

Usually, a physician such as himself would first seek antidepressants and psychiatric treatment. However, Dr. Pradeep felt apprehensive of these due to side effects that he encountered from a previous treatment.

He believes that although such a treatment would alleviate some of his suffering, the treatment does very little for a cancer patient (overall), especially when one has to deal with his “impending doom”.

Anxiety and depression are common among patients dealing with serious illnesses, and these create a vicious cycle. Illnesses trigger anxiety or depression, which then erodes overall health, which in turn negatively impacts the treatment, and circles back to triggering mental health problems.

In search of an alternative to addressing depression and anxiety, which would hopefully lead to positive cancer treatment results, Dr. Pradeep explored “How to Change Your Mind”, by Michael Pollan.

Pollan’s book outlined the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, for the dying or seriously ill, including the healing and restorative effects they can have on people suffering from depression, anxiety, and addiction.

What are the challenges posed by engaging with natural psychedelics? Is this legal? What were his other alternatives? Ultimately, how has altering the state of mind impacted his cancer treatment?

Join us to gain an in-depth perspective on alleviating mental stress, choosing to alter your emotional state of mind and your perspectives to inspire healing of the body.
