Regarding chemotherapy: a recent issue of Harper's Magazine had an
utterly horrifying essay by a chemo nurse. I recommend it to everyone.
Chemo world:
Surviving the cancer unit by Sally Tisdale.
Tisdale is fine essayist, whose work I have admired for more than ten
years, yet she seems incapable of seeing that the work she does as an
oncology nurse, as she herself describes it, is insane. When you read
about the handling of the toxins put into the bodies of dying patients
you simply won't believe it.
Sorry there is no online version yet, only PDF downloads restricted to
password holders. Maybe soon someone will put it up . . . .

Hail Gail :)
From my experience regarding the doctors I've met up with over the
years in dealing with any health crisis whether for myself or my
family........the large majority of doctors either do not look past
their sacred medical journals or are so enshrined in their positions
of patient superiority that they are psychotically incapable and
psychologically impaired from offering hope or any sense of self
empowerment to their patients.
RE the Vitamin C - I ignored the majority of their recommendations I
felt went against my intuition, what my body was telling me and in
some cases what alternative medicine found diametrically opposed to
good health. My own conclusions were that lifestyle lived as usual
is contradictory to the illness that was brought forth from the
physical manifestation of the disease. When one gets sick........its
time to listen closely too and hone that God given intuition called
the inner physician.
Visualization is and has been recently shown to be critical in dealing
with Cancer or any other illness for that matter. The individual owns
the Cancer, to state the obvious, their bodies are replicating
renegade cells. I realized how ignorant and afraid I was of
Cancer.I knew only that it was considered to be fatal and often
beyond ones personal control. With great certainty I say...not so.
One of the first books that gave me clarity and greater understanding
of the extent of ones "personal" power was an extremely inspiring book
by Bernie Segal, Love, Medicine and Miracles.
If I was cantankerous and distrustful of and in dealing with Doctors
before I became sick, I became a doctors worse nightmare when I was
done with the book. To the extent that the NIH booted me out of their
study after 11 months of flying back and forth 2x a month. For not
being complacent, compliant and submissive to their guinea pig
protocol which I quickly realized was not entirely for my benefit as
an individual. I was also according to them "upsetting" other
patients by inquiring as to what or whether they knew what kind of
drugs they were taking.
9 out of 10 didn't. They just sat there in a dazed state with their
IV's as if they were already dead. That state of mind, imho is scarier
than the diagnosis..it is in and of itself, an individual illness.
The medical records I left with were rife with notes from the charge
nurses suggesting I be given psychiatric help. They claimed I was
over anxious, too curious regarding treatment drugs and distrustful of
caretakers and doctors. Never once during my years stint with them did
they, whether written or oral give constructive advice/consultation
about alternative nutritional supplementation or life style factors
that would affect the outcome towards a more positive prognosis. If I
mentioned Macrobiotic diet, Vitamin C, plant /herbals I was
utilizing they just gave an insignificant poo poo shrug of dismissal.
Most, if not all Cancer treatment protocols in this country originate
from the NIH (National Institutes of Health). Same with AIDS, HIV and
numerous diseases.
Chemo causes havoc and chaos within the body and by its very nature,
brutal and insulting. It robs the body of critical nutrients and
significantly weakens the immune system to the extent that
reoccurances are so common. All I can say about the medical systems
mentality is that Cancer is BIG business in this country. It is a very
potent, viable contributor to the medical communities and drug
companies economic longevity. Chemo is as widely distributed as
Aspartame, Fluoride and mercury laden vaccinations and as we know,
ignorance is bliss so long as there is not public outcry and
condemnation.
The day will come when Chemo will be a thing of the archaic past
and energy based medicine wisely combined with the healing of the
mind and spirit will eventually become the medicine of the future.
Western science is so undeveloped and backward in certain areas that
they are just now making a connection that ancient cultures knew of
for eons. For the time being, doctors of Allopathic persuasion will
continue to refuse to take a back seat to the driver.....which is
essentially, the patient.

But about vitamin C, they (doctors) made her stop
taking any antioxidants as they said it interfered
with the chemo while she was having chemo. I told her
about you and how you never did reach bowel tolerance.
She said (something I didn't know) that chemo will
constipate one so it would be difficult to reach bowel
tolerance.
Glad your still kicking, lady. And what a lovely lick
you have!
