Now I'm scared all over again - Now I'm confused too

[SheriM]

Continued prayers, Sheri...

These give me comfort. Psalm 91 is a favorite. I hope they help you also.

Sick or in pain Psalm 91
In facing a crisis Psalm 46
When discouraged Psalms 23 & 24
Lonely or fearful Psalm 27
When very weary Matthew 11:28-30 & Romans 8:31-39
What trust in God can do Hebrews 11
For inward peace John 14
I'm afraid II Timothy 1:7

Thank you. These are all wonderful. I also receive a great deal of comfort from the hymn "The Old Rugged Cross". It was my mother's favorite and when the world is quiet and still I can hear her thin, frail voice singing it softly. I came to my faith not too long after she passed away so she and I never shared the true comfort that Hymn brings me now, but somehow, I think she knows.

 

[andehens]

I pray for the best for you.
and prayers

 

[reinbeau]

Oh, Sheri, don't think you're whining, go reight ahead and vent - we're here for you.

 

[FarmerChick]

take care and be strong!

 

[miss_thenorth]

Sheri--my heart aches for you!!!! Prayers still being said!!!!!

 

[TanksHill]

I am so sorry you are going through this. Stay positive. We will all hope for the best.

 

[Woodland Woman]

Sorry to hear that you are going through this.

Someone forwarded this to me a couple days ago and I thought you might be interested.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE

CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY

(TRY THE KEYWORD) AND ELIMINATE

CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY

STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.



Cancer

Update from Johns Hopkins



1. Every person

has cancer cells in the body. These

cancer cells do not show up in the

standard Tests until they have

multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients

that there are no more cancer cells in

their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to

detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the

detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur

between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's life

time.

3. When the person's immune system is

strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from

multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a

person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple

nutritional deficiencies. These could

be due to genetic, environmental, food and

lifestyle (lack of sleep) factors.



5. To overcome

the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and

including supplements will strengthen the immune

system.

6.

Chemotherapy involves poisoning the

rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing

healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinaltract etc, and

can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs

etc.

7. Radiation

while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and

damages healthy cells, tissues and

organs.

8.

Initial treatment with

chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However

prolonged use of chemotherapy

and radiation do not result in more tumor

destruction.

9 When

the body has too much

toxic burden from chemotherapy

and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed,

hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and

complications.

10.

Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to

mutate and become resistant and

difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to

spread to other

sites.

11. An

effective way to battle cancer is to

starve the cancer cells by

not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.



CANCER CELLS FEED

ON:

A. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By

cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the

cancer cells. Sugar

substitutes like

NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are

made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A

better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only

in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make

it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea

salt.



B.

Milk causes the body to produce

mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinaltract. Cancer feeds

on mucus. By cutting off milk

and substituting with unsweetened soya milk

cancer cells are being starved.



C. Cancer

cells thrive in an acid

environment. A meat-based diet is

acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than

beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics,

growth

hormones and parasites, which are

all harmful, especially to people with cancer.



D. A diet made

of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole

grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the

body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from

cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable

juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed

and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish

and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live

enzymes for building healthy cells, try and drink fresh

vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean

sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are

destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).



E. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate,

which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better

alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water -- best

to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and

heavy metals in tapwater.

Distilled

water is acidic, avoid it.



12. Meat

protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of

digestive enzymes. Undigested meat

remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more

toxic buildup.

13. Cancer

cell walls have a tough protein covering. By

refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack

the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer

cells to destroy the cancer

cells.

14. Some supplements

build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac,

anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs, etc.) to enable the body's

own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other

supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or

programmed cell death, the body's normal

method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.



15. Cancer is a disease of

the

mind, body, and spirit. A

proactive and positive spirit will help the

cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and

bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic

environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving

spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy

life.

16. Cancer

cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising

daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the

cellular level. Oxygen therapy is

another means employed to destroy cancer

cells.

CANCER

UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS

HOSPITAL



1. No plastic

containers in micro.
2. No water

bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in

microwave.

Johns

Hopkins has recently sent this out

in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at

Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals causes

cancer, especially breast

cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous

to the cells of our bodies.

Don't freeze your plastic

bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins

from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward

Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV

program to explain this health hazard. He talked

about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that

we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic

containers.

This especially applies to

foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat,

high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food

and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he

recommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or

ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results,

only without the dioxin. So such things as TV

dinners, instant and soups, etc., should be removed from

the container and heated in something

else.

Paper isn't bad but you

don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use

tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago

some of the fast food restaurants moved away from

the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the

reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic

wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to

be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high

heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic

wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel

instead.











This is an article that should

be sent to anyone important in your

life.

 

[Beekissed]

As a former oncology nurse and a current hospice nurse.....I would have to agree with the previous posting.

 

[hoosier]

I wish you lived close enough for me to be able to help with your chores.

 

[SheriM]

I wish you lived close enough for me to be able to help with your chores.

You are certainly not the first to say this, but apparently, God wants me to go it alone because there's only one person close enough who is willing to help and he is a single man living with his elderly parents so he has to do all of his own farm chores as well. Nevertheless, both he and his parents are always there to help whenever I call. They are truly my guardian angels, but with their own challenges, I hate to add to their burden.
