Getting to the Heart of Cancer

If you or a loved one has ever been given the diagnosis of cancer, you may know it’s hard not to receive it as a death sentence. Our culture is laden with beliefs, stories and emotions that accompany the simple word, “Cancer.”

In any case, it’s definitely a game changer for all involved.

However, within the unprecedented challenges that accompany the disease, you can discover an extraordinary opportunity for love, healing, and transformation.

Three of our USHS faculty members, Dr. John Wadude Laird, MD, and his wife Nura Laird, and Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe, MD, have been through this journey personally.

When Dr. Laird’s wife, Nura, was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, they, along with their two daughters, came together to get to the heart of what was causing her disease and heal it.

Nura said in her interview, “Before the journey with cancer started, our family loved each other. By the end of the process, our family cherished each other.”

Many years ago, Dr. Ibrahim Jaffe’s wife experienced a rapid onset of cancer and passed away soon after. At this time, Dr. Jaffe decided he did not want to get blindsided again. He made a decision in his heart to learn everything he could about perceiving the presence of cancer, understand the patterns of cancer in the consciousness, and discover what was needed to bring healing.

These insights and experiences have led to the realization of cancer as an opportunity for profound transformation. This is what inspired Dr. John Wadude Laird to create this exciting new interview series, Getting to the Heart of Cancer: Spiritual Healing, Sufism and a Journey of Love.

We have been blessed with a grant from the Lloyd Symington Foundation to support the creation of this series, and our promise to them is to share this information broadly to make it available to as many people as possible.

As a part of this series, Dr. John Wadude Laird, MD, interviews patients, physicians, spiritual healers, and family members who have consciously traveled his journey of love in the face of cancer, in a grand search for understanding, authenticity, and healing.
