For the majority of people, coping with stress and highly stressful or traumatic events or conflicts is dealt with, with relative ease. Although those in this larger group feel the devastating effects of stress, stressful events, trauma, and conflicts, including grief and loss – stressful events are seen as part of life’s challenges, life’s ups and downs, and they are for they most part anticipated and not completely unexpected. These people are able to move on with their lives quickly afterwards.
Those susceptible to cancer, are highly vulnerable to life’s stresses and trauma, and feel unable to cope when life throws a curve-ball their way. These people are perfectionists and live in fear of conflict, stress, trauma and loss and are deeply frightened of negative events “happening” to them. And when faced with a highly stressful or traumatic event they have not anticipated, which inevitably happens during their life, react adversely and are unable to cope. They experience Inescapable Shock and remain deeply affected by the experience. They have difficulty in expressing their inner grief, their inner pain, their inner anger or resentment, and genuinely feel there is no way out of the pain they are feeling inside. And because their mind cannot fathom what has happened, and remains in a state of disbelief or denial, these inner painful feelings are continually perpetuated, shooting up stress levels, lowering melatonin and adrenaline levels, causing a slow breakdown of the emotional reflex centre in the brain, and creating the beginning of cancer progression in the body.
When faced with a major trauma, the cancer personality feels trapped and unable to escape from the memory of the traumatic experience and the painful feelings of the experience. Stress hormone cortisol levels skyrocket and remain at high levels, directly suppressing the immune system, whose job it is to destroy cancer cells that exist in every human being. High stress levels generally means a person cannot sleep well, and cannot produce enough Melatonin during deep sleep. Melatonin is responsible for inhibiting cancer cell growth. This means cancer cells are now free to multiply. Adrenaline levels also skyrocket initially, but are then drained and depleted over time. This is especially bad news for the cancer personality. Adrenaline is responsible for transporting sugar away from cells. And when there is no adrenaline left, sugar builds up in cells of the body. Viral-bacterial-yeast-like-fungus then inhabit normal cells to feed on this excess sugar, breaking the cell's (oxygen) krebs cycle. This means normal body cells cannot breathe properly because of low oxygen and mutate during the dividing process into cancer cells. Cancer cells thrive in a low oxygen state, as demonstrated by Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg. Cancer cells also thrive on fermented sugar for cell division, and this is provided by the viral-bacterial-yeast-like-fungus that ferment and feed on sugar in the perfect symbiotic relationship.
Put simply, too much internal stress causes a depletion of adrenaline, leads to too much sugar in the body's cells, resulting in the perfect environment for cancer cells to thrive in the body.
For the cancer personality, the news of being diagnosed with cancer and the fear and uncertainty of death represents another Inescapable Shock, creating another spike in stress hormone cortisol levels, and a further drop in melatonin and adrenalin levels. There is also a further breakdown of the emotional reflex centre in the brain that causes cells in the corresponding organ to slowly breakdown and become cancerous.
Learned helplessness is a key aspect of the cancer personality when facing a perceived inescapable shock, and is a strong causal factor of cancer. Researcher Madelon Visintainer took three groups of rats, one receiving mild escapable shock, another group receiving mild in-escapable shock, and the third no shock at all. She then implanted each rat with cancer cells that would normally result in 50% of the rats developing a tumour. Her results were astonishing.
Within a month, 50% of the rats not shocked at all had rejected the tumour; this was the normal ratio. As for the rats that mastered shock by pressing a bar to turn it off, 70% had rejected the tumour. But only 27% of the helpless rats, the rats that had experienced in-escapable shock, rejected the tumour. This study demonstrates those who feel there is no way out of their shock / loss are less likely to be able to reject tumours forming within their body, due to high levels of stress weakening the immune system.
對於許多人來說，壓力，創傷或衝突的處理，相對比較容易。雖然他們也經歷了悲痛和損失，但是壓力被看作是生活的挑戰，是人生的跌宕起伏，雖然也是意料之外，但他們能夠不去一再回顧而努力往前看。
但那些「易患癌症性格者」，比較易受因壓力和痛苦而「長期」受創。這些人有很多都是「完美主義者」，他們經常會恐懼可能會發生的衝突，創傷或損失，還深感害怕會有「負面事件」會「發生」在他們身上。所以當面對一個無預期的高度緊張或創傷事件的發生，會使他們加倍或長期有反應不良，無法應付的狀況。
對那些「易患癌症性格者」，或者因為經歷了巨大的衝擊，或有困難表達自己內心的痛苦，憤怒或怨恨。他們心中又不願承認或接受這些事件，讓這些內在的種種痛苦，懷疑或否定的情緒不斷延續，壓力不斷增高，而讓 體內的褪黑激素和腎上腺素不斷的降低，導致緩慢情緒的崩潰，而讓癌症在體內發展起來。
當面臨重大創傷，癌症性格的人會感到被困住，無法逃離這些創傷和痛苦的記憶或經歷。身體裡的「應激激素 皮質醇」的水平一路飆升，會直接 抑制 能摧毀腫瘤細胞「免疫系統」。
高壓力水平通常指一個人失眠，不能在睡眠中產生足夠的褪黑激素，褪黑激素是負責抑制癌細胞的生長，所以這就意味著癌細胞可以自由的繁衍，腎上腺素雖然也會升高，但會因時間而耗盡，這對癌症性格的人是個很壞的消息，因為腎上腺素是負責讓糖分遠離細胞的，當腎上腺素沒了，糖積聚在細胞體內，癌細胞在發酵的糖分中更能蓬勃發展，所以病毒細菌的發酵再加上餵食糖分 組成了與癌細胞的共生關係。
所以簡單地說，過多壓力會使腎上腺素耗竭，導致過多的糖在存在人體的細胞內，而造就了一個癌細胞發展與成長的完美的環境。更糟糕的是，有癌症性格的人，一旦被診斷出患有癌症，心理又產生了種種的不確定和面對死亡的恐懼，會造成另一個心理衝擊，讓他們體內的「應激激素 皮質醇」再度升高，並進一步降低褪黑激素和腎上腺素的水平，讓身體更容易被癌細胞侵蝕，造成惡性循環。
我們該如何判別自己是否有「癌症形格」呢？其關鍵點是當面臨巨大的壓力的時候，這類的人經常有嚴重的「無助感／無奈感」－ 這就是一個強大的致癌因素。
在一項研究中，使用三組老鼠：
第一組 接受「可逃脫的壓力」
第二組 接受「無法逃脫的壓力」
第三組 「完全沒有任何壓力」的狀態
然後每個老鼠都植入癌細胞（通常會導致 50％的老鼠會有腫瘤發展）。這個研究結果是很驚人的，一個月之內：
第三組（完全沒有壓力）的老鼠 有50％腫瘤沒有發展出來（這是正常的比例）。
第一組（可逃脫的壓力：它們只要按一個欄杆即可關掉壓力）的老鼠 有70％腫瘤沒有發展出來。
但第二組（無法逃脫的壓力）的無奈老鼠中，只有27％老鼠能阻止腫瘤的發展(有73%有癌症發展出來)。
這項研究明白的指出：那些感覺「沒有出口」或者「極度悲觀」的動物 較無能力 排除腫瘤在身體內的形成及發展，最主要還是由於「高度的壓力」「削弱了他們的免疫系統」。
