Facts On Cancer

I wanted to share what is happening with us today. Michael is in surgery today at the University Hospital. The surgeon is a great lady, and has always done us right. She always communicates with me, but I trust her hands. She has been Michael's surgeon since 2005 when he was diagnosed with type 4 bladder cancer.

Many people are confused about the difference between type 4 and stage 4 cancer..they are really two different things. First, "type" is the description of how aggressive it is. "Stage" is how advanced it is into your system and really describes your time to live. 

Michael has type 4, as it is the most aggressive known.  However, it is also contained in his bladder, and fortunately can stay contained without breaking out into his lymphatic system. So far, with the help of Whole Apricot Extract from Pure Herbs..he has been able to keep his cancer at bay and gone into remission more than once without traditional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation treatment. 

Here is how the extract works: when you have been told cyanide will kill you, that is only half true. First, there are different kinds of cyanide. The kind of cyanide that is in apple seeds, apricot kernels, millet, bitter almonds and many other foods is a hydrogen cyanide.  This cyanide is called Laetrile, also called B-17. A human cell has a marker that tells it to die so that other new cells can take over. The cancer cell does not have that marker, thus over grows and kills you eventually. Hydrogen cyanide molecules are neutralized by the marker found in healthy human cells. Thus, when the marker is not present, the cyanide will kill the cell, stinging cancer sells and killing them and leaving the healthy ones alone. Michael has been taking high doses of laetrile since 2005 and had little side effects. The only side effect of the apricot kernels is a slight hormone drop.  

Other complications that accompany cancer often is a thick blood. This makes blood clots a constant issue when experiencing surgery. Why does this happen? First lets look at what causes thickening of the blood. 

Often, thickening of the blood is hereditary and increased by diet and lack of exercise.  High blood sugar(eating sugary foods and simple sugars and alot of carbs) can create an issue with thick blood. Most overweight people have thick blood. Diabetics have issues with thick blood due to the insulin issues and sugar cravings.  Women who have trouble conceiving often will find they have thick blood issues. 

So how do you help your body overcome thick blood? Diet: eat lots of leafy greens..not just carrots and cucumbers. Take high potency vitamin e, eat good sources of fish like fresh water white fish and drink lots of water(not iced teas, flavored waters and artificial flavorings often found in commercial drinks).  Going on a three day water fast is an excellent way to cleanse the blood and jump start the thinning process. This is also why they tell you to fast for 3 days before starting a new exercise routine, so your body can start using stored fat as energy.

Another thing about that is artificial sweeteners.  Any artificial sweeteners, no matter how natural they are, can keep you on a track of sugar cravings. 

Diet sodas are the most harmful for dieters.  First, you are feeding your body sucralose or NutraSweet(can cause migraines) The bubbles(carbonation) is bonded to the water molecule using phosphoric acid. This chemical causes a high acidity in your body ph and tends to keep you from loosing weight. Even most mineral waters use artificial carbonation processes for the bubbles.  Phosphoric acid also causes the body cell wall to harden in permeability.  The end result is water retention and sodium and electrolyte imbalances.

Last Minute Provision

I wanted to share an update with all of you on what awesome things that has happened since last I blogged. First, let me thank Andrew and his wife, Kimberly for their donations! Several other friends from Facebook also bought items from my supply store to help out. I'm happy to be able to give back to them with my store.

A couple of weeks ago, I began helping my husband with setting up a Mail Chimp account to get his business newsletter set up professionally. As it seems, he has been answering emails tirelessly trying to drum up some business and offering customer service to anyone who needs it, past or prospective clients. The result from the newsletter, diligence and lot of prayer was a good paycheck yesterday. It will be enough to cover some past due bills and pay next month's rent.

Michael had hocked his Motif keyboard and his sound mixer board, two seriously important items for his recording studio.  The two brought enough money for rent and a little groceries. We got the money into the bank within 10 minutes of closing on the deadline day of eviction process. I am hoping he can get them back out.

When you are without, you truly appreciate those who support you, stick with you and hang with you through what feels like begging for food.

Michael works so hard to make ends meet. He felt so encouraged. Today, a couple of what he thought was sure fire sales, jumped ship. That can happen, especially if the company has had a tough time of it and is struggling. It can look like an ill-reputable company, but in fact, it's just a small business trying desperately to keep from going under.  There are a lot of ancy buyers out there, not sure who to trust. Some are even paranoid. Reassuring them can be close to impossible with the level of credit card fraud happening online and abroad today. Something as simple as signing into your social media account with your yahoo id or open id can really put your entire identity at risk.  This has made almost any and everyone paranoid.

A few things I do to avoid online peepers is to clear the cache and cookies in my browser daily. Don't EVER save your password in your browser files, keep a good firewall protection program like Eset Nod32. I never play games on Facebook, save one: Tetris Battle. I never allow apps on Facebook from companies I don't know or am unfamiliar with. I always rotate my passwords(5 of them) in my accounts online. Never make a payment online in a url that does NOT have the s at the end of http(https://..) The s signifies secure SSL server.

Thanks again to all our friends..We appreciate you greatly..more than we can ever tell you. And Praise be to my God and King.
