Jerry Hicks Death From Leukemia Confirmed

Jerry Hicks Treated for Cancer of The Blood: Leukemia
Note: Months have passed since Jerry Hicks admitted being hospitalized for what he called "heavy chemotherapy." Neither he nor Esther have ever provided and explanation, and they stopped updating followers on his condition when questions arose from skeptics. The lastest indications, however, are not good. LIVE webcasts, cruises and workshops are being cancelled, sometimes without notice, just disappearing from their homepage. Only a single workshop remains on the schedule with nothing to explain when or if they might resume. This almost certainly reflects concerns about Jerry Hicks' health.
Update: Esther Hicks has acknowledged what many saw coming. Jerry Hicks died, she said in a blog post and email blast, on November 18th. her credibility is, of course, up for question. No location, obituary or other official recognition has been found.
Over too is the game of wondering when Jerry and Esther Hicks will stop obscuring the facts and tell the truth to their devoted followers.
The answer is: Never.
See: Abraham Hicks On Death
In fact, rather than rejoice in "croaking," as she has with other people of noting how good it is "when the old ones go," Esther has personally granted Jerry Hicks eternal life: Jerry Hicks Died, But Guess What? He's Back!
Unwilling to wait for more evasions from the Abraham Hicks marketing machine, investigators have gone to alternative, inside and reliable sources. The story of Jerry Hicks bout with leukemia was first exposed on the blog, Kyra Speaks.
An update: Jerry Hicks cancer has caused a major shift in the Abraham Hicks operation, even ignoring the distracting efforts to never really say he is being treated for leukemia.
First, all workshops other than those scheduled for weekends have been cancelled, and nothing new has been announced for any dates after December 4th, the last date planned when Jerry Hicks first fell ill. A spring cruise has also been cancelled.
Given the need to book conference space months in advance, it looks like Abraham will be off the live stage for at least six months, maybe permanently. Their event planner, in fact, may be opening up a job search, according to what we see on LinkedIn.
Because of the need for revenue, expect Abraham Hicks to launch some new off-road initiatives. LIVE online seminars produced from a place near home are a strong possibility, and gearing up for other forms of pay per view video seems possible.
Finally, and maybe in anticipation of a more remote form of contact with followers, Esther Hicks is reinventing herself in ways that Jerry always denied her when he was well. The frumpy black and white country preacher outfits have been, at least temporarily, discarded and replaced with the brighter, splashy colors Esther enjoys in real life.
Stay tuned. There is certainly more to be learned about Jerry Hicks' cancer.
New: Esther Hicks has broken her silence about Jerry Hicks cancer. Okay, it's ultimately an excuse for a marketing pitch and fairly misleading, but it's news. Link below.

Abraham Hicks on Medicine, Aging and Sickness
And the "heavy chemotherapy" was necessary because...?
The very best approach to medicine is,"Well, I see your physical body is sick, what's been bothering you? What are you worried about? What are you angry about? What are you frustrated about?" Because that is what is at the root of all of this. And then say, "Let it go, let it go, let it go." That's the message, and if they could hear you and do that, then they would all be well right away.
--- Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR on Tuesday, May 16th, 2000 # 106
"Death is an inevitable cycle. But sickness before death is a symptom of resistance. Most people think they've got to get sick to die. But, you could be like the cat who chooses to get run over. Or, you could just lie down in your bed happily one night, so content and thoughtless, wanting nothing in this physical world; and just reemerge into Pure Positive Energy... You can play it out any way you choose."
--- Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop in Sedona, AZ on Saturday, August 27th, 2005
I suppose you'd have to wonder why Jerry Hicks decided to "play it out" with leukemia, then ran to "heavy chemotherapy" to get rid of it.
And death itself:
"'...death' is a matter of closing one's eyes in this dimension and literally opening one's eyes in the other dimension. And that, truly, is how all death is, no matter how it looks, up to that point.. The re-emergence into Source Energy is always a delightful thing."
--- Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop in Buffalo, NY on Tuesday, September 25th, 2001
Note: This claim, that death is always "delightful" was dished out two weeks after the World Trade Center Disaster. For pregnant women jumping to their deaths from eighty floors in the sky, for professionals supporting families, for the captured passengers on commercial flights, a few with infants in their laps, death had a "delightful" experience

Jerry Hicks' Leukemia: The Basic Questions
One of Esther Hicks' (posing as Abraham) most memorable quotes:Think about that little smear that starts out as the human body, and then there's a nose and a liver and a gizzard, oh, not a gizzard... All that stuff that is present and knows how to become this. There's so much knowledge within the human body. You're wanting to free the human body's knowledge to be well from the resistance that has been picked up along this physical trail. The very best approach to medicine is,"Well, I see your physical body is sick, what's been bothering you? What are you worried about? What are you angry about? What are you frustrated about?" Because that is what is at the root of all of this. And then say, "Let it go, let it go, let it go." That's the message, and if they could hear you and do that, then they would all be well right away.
--- Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR on Tuesday, May 16th, 2000 # 106
It appears that Jerry Hicks cancer shows he is immune, not from cancer, but from the wisdom preached by his wife and marketed by him to millions of believers.
Jerry Hicks illness is an occasion for sadness. Even though the marketing machine has made a mess of this tragic situation, a disservice to their trusting followers, other cancer victims and Jerry Hicks himself, there is no joy in discovering the deceits parlayed by Esther Hicks one more time.
In the past week, a trusted friend with a medical background and many contacts in the Abraham Hicks world guessed that Jerry had been suffering from leukemia for many months, certainly long before the ridiculous spider bite story was cooked up. She believed the signs of low dose chemotherapy were already evident in his appearance. She speculated that an escalation of the disease led to the phony cover story .
Since Esther has long claimed that, not only do we give ourselves cancer, we also chose our time of death voluntarily, their money-skewed position in marketing to their cult-like following could not withstand the exposure.
Eventually, others will tell us what really happened during the meltdown of Abraham Hicks, but if my friends educated guesses are right, they would help explain the pathetic scramble to scare up money from pushing guided meditation CD's rabidly during Christmas and the sudden invention of the "Abraham LIVE" scheme to gather followers over the internet, getting beyond the limited benefits of on site attendance, regardless of how overpriced.
Now that the facts are better known, the question is whether or not Esther and Jerry Hicks will do the right thing and come clean. Even if it would be of great help to their followers in aiding them with insights or for leukemia victims everywhere by no long pointing fingers of guilt, I don't see anything in their background that suggest they will do so.
A Cover Up More Than Jerry Hicks Cancer
What about the facilitarors?
Most followers of the Abraham Hicks story recognize the roles played in facilitating their deceptions, whether knowingly or unknowingly, by high profile endorsers like Oprah Winfrey and Rhonda Byrne, creator of "The Secret" book and movie.Now that the truth is undeniable and an unravelling of the longstanding scam is exposed, will the enablers who helped draw followers now step forward and admit their mistake? Will Oprah Winfrey haul Esther Hicks onto her stage and confront her as she has with others who threatened her credibility?
I believe Ms. Winfrey was scammed just as I and others were, but now that things have changed, will her endorsement? And what about the otherwise much-admired Wayne Dyer, suffering from leukemia himself? Dyer once said that Abraham was the best group of teachers around? If so, what are they teaching us now?
Louise Hay, a pioneer in self-help. Summer McStravick, the main stream media generally... You can spend a lot of time wondering what all the people who gave this operation a free pass are thinking about doing now. Even if Esther and Jerry Hicks won't tell the humbling truth, maybe a few of the people they've duped will.
Does the exposure of Jerry Hicks cancer tell us even more?
Do the actions surrounding Jerry Hicks illness shed light on a broader scam?

No, that's crazy. You're making more out of it than what's really there?
Of course, it does. If they are hiding the truth now and inventing tall tales, why not wonder how long that's been going on?
DaveStone13 says:
It's possible that what you say is accurate, but I have a friend who was once very close to Esther Hicks (Nobody is close to all-business Jerry) who is certain that she was, originally, in spirit. A skeptic by nature, he became convinced through what he saw. Unless she fesses up sometime (highly unlikely), we aren't ever likely to know for sure.
MaxReily says:
A scam is a scam. If it's a scam now, then it was a scam from the beginning. It's just a more desperate scam now.

Abraham Hicks On Death
Let Esther and Jerry Hicks speak for themselves.
Why are you here?
Orientation question.
Since so many Abraham-Hick's supports feel that this section is an invitation to rant, express their anger, tell me I'm a jerk, point out that I don't get it, praise Esther and Jerry, and otherwise misuse the space, I have to point out that any comments that do not respond to the question asked will be deleted.
Don't worry, fans. You will have opportunities later to condemn the author at will. But you will be expect to make a point, not just angry remarks. So, as you go along, think about what you might write that actually adds to the conversation. You'll stand a much better chance of having your remarks approved and added to the lens.
Thanks.

- From my perspective, we cure ourselves all the time.
Some say: “Jerry Hicks’ cancer proves the basic teachings about health and death that Esther and Jerry Hicks have been selling for decades are nonsense.”
True? It depends. Dr. Ryke Hamer (German new medicine) proved that every cancer is a healing process, destroyed by deadly diagnosis, chemotherapy, and radiation. Dr. Bruce Lipton proved that our cells are signaled from outside and not from inside by our genes, and that the signals can be distorted by physical damage, chemicals and thoughts. Abraham once said, in relation to chemotherapy, focus on the cellular energy run. He did not say, stop chemo, however he said, if you knew what we know, no doctors would be employed.
Thank you Jerry for the wonderful world you allowed to expand through Ester.
Thank you Ester for the wonderful world you allow to expand by communicating Abraham.
Thank you Abraham,
Arnold and Bozena Rabius

- Although you lack the courtesy of actually answering the questions asked, I'm going to post it because it demonstrates what a poorly informed world of truths, half-truths and outright fictions the A-H crowd lives in.
Of course, we cure ourselves all the time. We all have immune systems where the only job is to cure, 24 X 7. This isn't news, but you pass it along as if it were some great insight. It isn't. It's common, everyday knowledge.
The rest of what you have to say is a mix of opinion and baloney. Dr. Ryke had theorized, but not proved anything of the kind. Cancer is best described as a situation in which cells lose their ability to exhaust themselves and die away as evolution provided. They grow out of control, gobbling up nutrients needed by other cells. I agree that modern medicine has done some less than admirable work among much good, but try telling a few cancer patients who were healed by modern medical intervention that cancer is healing and modern medicine is useless, even evil. You'd have to have your head examined to adopt such simplistic, slanted, uninformed ideas.
Bruce Lipton is such a clown I'm almost reluctant bother responding. He passes himself off as a daring pioneer discovering truths about epigenetics when it has been a field of research for two decades and Lipton is not considered a leader. The only original ideas he had he was unable to verify scientifically. Your idea of something being "proved" just shows how easily the uneducated and unwilling to learn can be yanked into cults by big promises.
And by the way, even if your Abraham quote is accurate, no one ever claimed that Abraham said he should stop chemotherapy. What Esther (There is no Abraham. It's faked.) said was that just changing you vibration could cure any disease within a few days. She also said Jerry was the best manifester of intentions ever. The question, which you can't answer (probably why you responded to something ever said instead) is: Why didn't Jerry Hicks simply follow the "teachings of Abraham" his wife conjures up?
The reason: the teachings of Abraham are stupid, and conventional medicine, at least, gave him a chance.

- Dear Dave,
Where am I coming from? Yesterday I heard that Jerry Hicks died. Googeling for information, I couldn’t miss your site. A site with pros and cons about Ester and Jerry Hicks, it seemed. I submitted a go-between. Thanks for posting it anyway and thanks for your reply. You made absolutely clear that you deliver the cons.
I wonder why Jerry allowed himself to be killed by chemo. You explain this from your perspective.
From my perspective, we cure ourselves all the time.
From your perspective: “Of course, we cure ourselves all the time. We all have immune systems where the only job is to cure, 24 X 7. This isn't news, but you pass it along as if it were some great insight. It isn't. It's common, everyday knowledge.”
“We cure ourselves all the time”, from my perspective: every so called illness is a healing process. From my perspective we heal ourselves through dis-ease. Common, everyday knowledge? If so, then Dr. Hamer, with his German New Medicine, would be common, everyday knowledge.
Greetings,
Arnold Rabius

- Dr. Hamer sounds like he may be a fascinating character or, maybe, a crackpot. I haven't taken a look and don't expect to.
So, your thoughts about how his point of view relates to Jerry Hicks death is interesting, but not relevant enough to go on about anymore here. A Google search will get plenty of results for anyone wishing to research further, or my suggestion to you, Arnold, is that you write and article of your own to get a discussion going.
Squidoo is absolutely free for such purposes as are a number of other online sites for writers. Good luck with it!

- Scam or no scam, Jerry Hicks was a human being and his wife is mourning the death of her husband. We all make choices in life - who to follow - what to believe. No one wants to feel pain or poverty or fear. Wealth does not mean security. I thank Jerry for all things good and wish his family and all of you, peace.

Jerry Hicks Illness Update: What They're Saying About His Cancer and What They Won't Tell You
The situation we see Jerry Hicks in is a sad one. The man who pioneered spiritual marketing like no other has cancer. Leukemia was confirmed by a close family friend.
But it's as if the entire Abraham-Hicks operation, where Jerry Hicks is CEO and founder along with his wife Esther, has descended into a time warp in which cancer is a dirty or condemned word that can never be spoken.
For a man who has spent most of his life in the limelight, being shunted aside and nearly discarded at times, it must feel a little weird. Read More
Last stop for expressing your opinion. We'd all love to read it.

- I have followed Esther & Jerry for a number of years now. What I have learned from them has changed my life profoundly. I like many was surprised when I heard of Jerry's passing and yes I wondered why he like Wayne Dyer and another I know of became ill despite their teachings.
Does this make it a scam? I can't say for sure but one thing I do believe, it is one thing to utter the words you teach but another if you do not feel and believe them on a deep inner level. At the end of the day he was after all human.
Even if Esther never does another seminar etc again, it will not change the difference they made in my life at a time when I was searching for answers.
Can I ask you this, if what they taught changed the lives of many more like me in a positive way, is it still a scam?

- Whether or not Esther and Jerry's teachings changed lives, assuming for now that they did, wouldn't be evidence either way. Much of what they had to say was borrowed, uncredited, from others who were respected anyway; so, you'd expect some positive results. But I want you to consider two other things.
First, a number of people have come forward to claim that Esther's teachings have caused harm. I don't think that's evidence either. As we know from medical research on placebos, people may get well, even when no real medicine is given, when they believe they've been treated. Confidence and hope seem to be critical factors. The less publicized nocebo effect has directly opposite results. In other words, treatments known to be effective are useless for some when they believe they have not received treatment. It may be that you and others heal yourself and Esther has nothing to do with it. No one has ever researched it, and I am certain Esther would not cooperate, if they wanted to.
Second, you are absolutely right that Jerry was only human. A-H followers take that line all the time. The higher standard for himself was set by him. In fact, last I checked, their website continues to claim Jerry is still alive and that he and Esther are living fairytale lives.
Now, what has been asked is that, given Jerry developed a cancer, why did they first scramble to pass his illness off as a spider bite and not admit the cancer until six months later? Why did they send out email blasts claiming they were raring to go for the next workshop, even after he started chemotherapy? Misleading hopeful followers? Maybe. More important, and the question most asked and never answered, is why did go for conventional medicine without ever trying the easy cures Esther pushed for years that would avoid the trials of chemotherapy and have Jerry back in shape within a few days? Esther will never answer this because the only realistic answer is one that would bring the house down.
Finally, I'm glad you mentioned Wayne Dyer. Unlike Jerry, he has openly discussed his illness and how he thought he brought it on himself, without invading his or anyone else's privacy with intimate details. He has also publicly discussed what he has done to heal himself since, some of the most effective stuff being unconventional medicine. Dyer, just another vulnerable human like the rest of us, has not been shy about exposing his mistakes nor has he struggled to mislead those who have trusted him as a teacher for decades. There's a gap in integrity a mile wide between what Esther and Jerry did and what Wayne Dyer has done. Draw whatever conclusions you may.

- I'll make this my last post - I know we are on different radio signals. But Dave, what business is it of yours anyway. What the hell has Jerry's illness or whatever got to do with you? They never signed up to disclose to the world their beliefs AND what happens to them personally. I am astounded that you would waste your time being upset that someone didn't tell you their secrets and then writing about it. Way way way too much time to waste. I haven't heard about the cold you had last week or when Esther went through menopause. Methinks that I am not paying for twitter talk from them, just their translation of their interpretation of life. That's all they are about selling to us anyway. Buy it or not.

- @SuzyA,
If you are paying for Esther and Jerry’s interpretation of life, you might be wasting your money. But that’s perfectly all right if that’s where you are and where you want to be. But by complaining about Dave wasting his time with what he is writing about, aren’t you in effect also wasting YOUR time? If you are truly following the teachings of “Abraham”, then it should be all right with you where Dave is. As per Abraham, “When we say to you, make peace with where you are, we want you to make peace with where everyone is; we want you to make peace with the world events; we want you to make peace with where your friend is in relationship with where your friend wants to be. We want it to be all right with you where anybody is.” So, what the hell does it matter to you on what Dave chooses to focus?
You wrote that Esther and Jerry “ never signed up to disclose to the world their beliefs AND what happens to them personally“, yet Abraham’s teachings are full of third person examples from their lives. The precedent has been set. Why would Abraham suddenly choose not to mention such a great teaching example as Jerry’s illness unless Abraham wasn’t really Abraham but just Esther and she was afraid of exposure? You are free to ignore this and think of happier things. I’m all right with that.
For me, Dave is offering some objective contrast to the lopsided views that I was finding elsewhere, such as abeforum.com. The difference between the two is that Dave does not disallow differing opinions to his own. I have yet to see anything posted on abeforum.com that questions Abraham’s teachings. This leads me to believe that those comments aren’t allowed there. I have been studying many different teachings and viewpoints of life for decades. I don’t adhere specifically to any one brand over another. I keep what resonates with me and discard what doesn’t. If a philosophy or teaching, and that includes the channel, doesn’t stand up to questioning or even allow questioning, it isn’t worth my time. The Law of Attraction resonates with me, Abraham/Esther/Jerry doesn’t. Abraham-Hicks did not invent the Law of Attraction. They are just using it. They totally ignore most of the other Universal Laws to the detriment of their followers. But then again that is their followers choice and I am all right with that. I prefer to stay open-minded and always searching.
