| Re: "life"
have you ever read the book "naturual cures they don't want you to know." ? its kind of a scary book when you are reading about all the satistics and stuff. how the cancer rate along with every other illness out there that can cause death is getting higher and higer. your right to make that comment, "i didn't think it would happen to me" a long time ago you would only hear about it, but never think it would happen to you, and it more likely would not.
now it seems like everyone has to think what illness is going to show its ugly face to you. and if we don't think like that, it just pops up on us and we are shocked and don't know what to do about it. younger and younger people are getting sick, and its really sad whats happening to us. but many people don't open their eyes to see this.
I just lost my mom to lung cancer a few years ago. she was only 44. to me, that is young. that means she was mid life at 20. thats jsut not right. I lost my (not related) uncle to lung cancer, and my friends mother died of it too.
I'm glad that you have a good doctor that is willing to help you as best he can, but you can always do more, like buy everything you want out of a health food store. I usto alway go into a health food store look at juices and foods, and say, "I would like that, but i don't have the money for it. so i will just stick to my regular diet." but then my health problems have been going out the roof. and I'm scared, so if it is really healthy, and cost alot, I buy it now, my health comes first. cloths, dvds, updating my computer, things I would regulary spend my money on, is not on my to do list anymore. I guess you have to make sacrfices.
one thing I bought at the health food store is Goji berries. Goji berries have been grown in protected valleys in wild and cultivated areas of Inner Mongolia in million year-old soil where pesticides have never been used. scientific research, has discovered it is the most powerful fruit, with powerful antioxidant, and is even knowen to extend life. I think its one of the most important health discovery ever made, and many scientis do also, but this is one of the many things "they" don't want you to know. when you can just buy Meds.
but I think sure, take the meds, but also do more. my mother tried to do more, but it wasn't the right things, and the cancer was already agressive. so it was to late for her. and if you are not sick, do more, so you don't get sick, thats the steps I'm doing, I am sick, I have all the things my mother had LONG before it got so bad it became cancer, I feel like my body is warning me.
wehn I lived in china, many very healthy people drank Goji berry tea. so I buy them, make tea, and when I finish the tea, I eat the berries out of the cup. there are many powerful foods out there that people should be eating everyday. but we don't even know about them. I didn't know any of this stuff when my mom was DXed with cancer, but the wake up call was to late for her, but not to late for me, and not to late for you.
i once heard a native elder say knowlege is power, and we need to learn everything from other elders, spending time with them, reading their books... but we don't. an elder also believes that you should be reading one book a week, and not just books for entertainment, but books written by "elders".
that was explaned further that these people are all around us. like Opras doctor, Christiane Northrup, M.D. to me she is an elder, and I can learn alot from reading a book she wrote.
well that is just my reflections after losing my mother to cancer. hope it helps
