Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hello All, I have been a subscriber for quite some time but have kept a low profile, I have however greatly appreciated all who do voice their opinions and information-especially Cliff! This morning I received a phone call about two women who have been diagnosed by their " doctors " as terminal with weeks to a few months. I have been compiling information for a newsletter to share but it is not done as of yet there is so much -what I am asking for now is " suggestions " from all of you with the simplest of steps that these women can take. They have been given up on by their " doctors " but they are still alive and there is still hope. Time is of the essence and I want to get them information thats easy to understand asap. Alternative treatment clinics would also be helpful-and I will hook them up with this site also. We are in upstate NY. I will of course use Cliff's page-are there easy to understand web pages for the teas (essiac etc) and easy to understand information about B-17 and especially all of the information about which is best of the " mushroom " information. I will certainly forward a copy of protocol 1 but it may be too complicated for them with their stress, pain and Zoloft level. I know I can count on you all. Thanks in advance. Peace, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Dear Kathy, for helping you maybe you could tell what kind of cancer these women have? I mean there is beside a general advice (diet, flax-oil, PSK (mushrooms) etc maybe also the possibility to give more detailed information for a specific cancer. So some more information would be helpfull. Gr.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Dear Kees, First off please accept my thanks though we have not been in direct communication before this I have read your communications and thank you for them. I have not as of yet met these women but I will certainly try and get more detailed information and let you know as soon as I know more. These ladies contacted a friend of mine-so my information is a little sketchy at this point. They are victims of breast cancer and traditional therapy-I do know it has spread to lungs, liver and bone. The doctors have given them both their " time " and pain meds as well as tranquilizers. There is so much information I need to filter things down to essentials for them right now-the best of the best-flax oil and cottage cheese of course-any helpful gentle suggestions are appreciated. Again, Thank you for everything and for being willing to reach out and help. Take Care and I will be in touch with specifics as soon as I know more. Peace, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 really great Friend Friend  READ THIS VERY SLOWLY...... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.  Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.  I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.  How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word refrigeration mean nothing to you? How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television? I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, " How about going to lunch in a half hour? " She would gasp and stammer, " I can't, I have clothes on the line, my hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, it looks like rain. " And my personal favorite: " It's Monday. "  She died a few years ago, we never did have lunch together.  Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect! We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevie toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college! Life has a way of accelerating as we get older, the days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of " I'm going to " , " I plan on " , and " Someday, when things are settled down a bit. "  When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas, her enthusiasm for life is contagious, you talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.  My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker, if my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy!  Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list.  If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?  Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this to you. Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask " How are you? " do you hear the reply?  When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores  running through your head?  Ever told your child, " We'll do it tomorrow " , and in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say " Hi " ?  When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music  before the song is over.  Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then  you'll know you have a circle of friends.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 She has a great friend in you! My friend has a child with apraxia, who so nicely told me to have my daughter evaluated for her speech only to find my daughter has a mild case of apraxia as well. There are lots of resources out there - I've found this list to be the best. I would also point her to cherab.org for info on fish oil supplementation and advise her to start that ASAP. In fact, my daughter is so young and it is helping her so much, the speech therapist doesn't think she'll need therapy for very long. Time will tell, but at least for now, my daughter is catching up to the milestones. Let us all know what type of resources she needs - if her child is already in speech therapy, how old her child is, etc and I'm sure you'll get lots of responses! > > A friend of mine has a child with apraxia, so i was thinking of > checking into different resources to assist her and her family.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 This is from our , who lives in Vancouver, Canada. Love you all.......Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``````` SANDSTONE A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. Duringsome point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped theother one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but withoutsaying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME INTHE FACE." They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided totake a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire andstarted drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from thenear drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MYLIFE." The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After Islapped you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it downin sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someonedoes something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no windcan ever erase it. "LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS INSTONE." It has been said that it takes a minute to find a special person, anhour to appreciate them, a day to love them, and a lifetime to forget them.
