Have you tried coffee enemas?

Try avoiding eating after 5 pm.

Dear Jim,

I am sorry to hear this. At certain points we do just need to go ahead and get

tested so we know what's going on ... I sure do understand that. I am praying

for you.

Dear Jim:

 

Cancer is never an easy road. I have decided for now to not cancel my health

insurance, but once I get into remission I am leaning strongly in that

direction. Though CT scans, etc have the risk of radiation involved, there is no

other reliable tests to positively confirm cancer I don't believe. I am sure if

it is out there someone on this website will prove me wrong---go for it guys.

Anyway, you will have more information from the CT scan and at least know what

you have to work with. This is the primary benefit for having health insurance,

plus they just paid $26,000 of my hospital bill with me having to pay out a few

hundred dollars on top of my premium. I was not upset about this.

 

You should have some peace of mind Jim that you have tried everything possible

to beat this. I know of no one who has worked harder then you. We will not

abandon you no matter what the outcome is-----stay strong. I know you have kids

and that is what I lived for back in 1994/95 for round 2 of this cancer road.

 

Blessings,

You would consider cancelling your insurance? really?? why? did I miss an

I am still hooked into believing that there is some benefit from mainstream

medicine (i.e. Faslodex). Also, I may not be alive if it hadn't been for my

insurance after having a stroke three months ago. Health insurance is good for

some things. I also like to keep a handle on the condition of my " tumors. " But

maybe this is just whistling in the wind, huh?  I don't know. I have had

problems with low potassium and high calcium, both conditions dangerous to the

heart. I have much more complicated medical issues then ever before, which

require constant monitoring. I thought up until Thursday that my health

insurance would pay for a nursing home up to 3 months. Nope! I just found this

out. Jim needs to have a CT scan. Who would order this if you don't have

insurance? In my state, there is no free ride except in the emergency room. But

for chronic conditions I don't know who would pay for procedures if you needed

them.

 

Hope this answers your questions.

,

thanks for sharing. seems like a safe bet to keep the health

insurance as backup if ever you need to fall back on certain care

services that can be helpful to any situation.

i wish you well and the best!

take care,

Does anyone here think that the woman that lost control of her car and entered

my wife's lane and hit our car head-on cared whether or not my wife believed in

Alternative medicine? What do you think our bill would have been without the

supplement to Medicare or what would happen to the person that isn't of Medicare

age? Of course one doesn't need to pay their bill and it will just go to

further increase the bills of patients with health-insurance increasing the

premiums even more.

People without health insurance wind up in the ER and the will not be turned

away. The expenses, however, keep piling up and at that point go on to

everyone else's premiums.

Just another reason for a form of National Health Care with the option for

anyone electing Medicare-type coverage and those with lots of money can elect

private care.

Forget being an Alternative thinker when planning health-care

needs.............accidents happen. My wife was in the hospital six weeks and

after that seven months in a 'Halo' device, hospital bed, nurses and therapists

too. The system is faulted but it is all we have so get involved and get us

the 'options' we need as in every other Westernized nation. Ideally

Single-Payer but that isn't going to happen, not with Insurance/Big Pharma

lobbyists. They own America-period.

Joe speaks A LOT OF GOOD SENSE.

health insurance isn't bad... it's a necessary tool to live in our

society. Just as money isn't bad...it's a necessary tool in our

society. I second and third Joe's perspective!

thanks for sharing, Joe.
