The Mail Bag #10: Dying and Medicine's Faith Connection

That's a hard answer you gave, but necessary. You can only get people to question their "faith" in something if you come with the truth.
My daughter was "in the system" for a time following her heart surgery. The cardiologists still insist on seeing her for checkups and I know it's just a racket(she's healthy as an ox), but just to not have people question my mothering skills(my love), I took her one last time. Well now we'll see how interested the cardiologists are in her now that I don't have insurance and they wont get a quick paycheck. Anyway. I'm just relating to the mother's chemo back up plan. It sounds ridiculous, but she's desperate, and she doesn't want to do it deep down, but she also doesn't want to be seen as a bad mother or negligent for standing up to a system that thinks she's dumb according to their degrees. I hope she takes your words and put her faith in naturopathic cures and not sorcery. But in the psyche of us American moms nowadays, we never want to risk looking bad...in our minds we can at least blame it on the doctors if the chemo kills our kids and not homemade remedies...God forbid, though.

Oh my God, my heart goes out to you and your son. My prayers are with you. I have heard about Eissac, I think that is how it is spelled. You can get it from Canada, USA won't sell it. A young boy ran away from home to get away from chemo treatments and his family told him no more treatments if he would just come back home. He did and they prayed for a cure and the Lord led them to this herbal mix. It worked and he is cancer free to this day. Look it up on the internet, even if it is spelled wrong the "net" will correct the spelling. It is a native American remedy. Plus the young man had to change his diet. He followed everything to a T and is strong and healthy today. His family sells Shackley....I wish my memory was better sorry.

Is the mother on the right track with the cottage cheese and flax seed oil? She still has time to start it since the diagnosis was only a month ago. She can stall the doctors a while.

Yes. The only thing that I would change is to purchase the flax seed oil in light resistant capsules, because of its potential to become rancid. The Budwig article that we wrote gives full information about the mixture of sulfur proteins with flax, and dietary changes that should be adopted in the case of a cancer patient. Open the capsules just prior to mixing with the cottage cheese or yogurt, for maximum benefit. We open our capsules with a needle and then just squirt it in.

You don't have to have cancer to use this combination. It will make anyone feel better.

I don't really have the energy to argue my point regarding chemo and radiation with anything and everything else that I can try, but I do want to say that I could care less what anyone in society thinks of my decisions as far as my son's treatments (which apparently Tom thinks this is an issue for me). I am not choosing his treatments to please anyone, I am choosing them to do everything possible to save my baby's life. Period. I have a very strong faith in God and His love and mercy give me strength everyday to get up and do what I need to do for my son. But faith in God doesn't mean you do nothing to help yourself and just wait for a miracle from Him. I am a juvenile diabetic for 25 years now, if I stopped taking my insulin with the hopes that God would fix me, there is a darn good probability that I would die. Therefore, I take my insulin and do what I need to do. This diet is my entire family's new way of eating and it could help my diabetes but I will still require insulin to stay alive and I will continue to take it. Just as I will continue to do all that I can to not lose my son. But back to my entire reason for posting on this site, I am new to all of this, chemo, radiation, natural rememdies, all of it. I appreciate the advice about the flax seed in light resistant capsules, I bought and used the refrigerated cold pressed organic flax seed oil but I will buy those capsules asap. I used the whole organic yogurt (unflavored) and I did have to add honey but my son drank all of it (it became pretty much a liquid after blending the yogurt with the oil, is that what it is supposed to do??? I know with the cottage cheese it is supposed to be thicker than a liquid). I am going to try the cottage cheese way tomorrow. I also have him on a very alkaline diet but the problem is that all of the alkaline/acid food lists vary. Some say that certain foods are acidic and another website lists that same food as alkaline, honey is one example of this but there are quite a few others. Are there any specific products that you know of that are tasty and would be alkaline? I know the alkaline list is a great deal of fruits and veggies but my son is 5 and is eating tons of spinach, grapes, bananas, etc...but I am at a loss when it comes to combining foods. I made him a grilled cheese using veggie cheese (soy based), a small amount of organic butter and ezekiel sprouted 100% whole grain bread. He loved it but I am just lost, is that bad for him? Is it acidic? And with his spinach & romaine salads (organic), I add a small amount of Bolthouse Ranch Yogurt dressing, I know salad dressings are a no-no but this is a tough change for a 5 yr old (and the dressing seemed ok in small amounts). No clue, please help with suggestions to maintain a more alkaline ph, food suggestions, tasty recipes, an accurate food list, anything like that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help you could offer.

When you first approached us requesting that we not provide "empty promises", we knew what to expect. You didn't really want help, but a clearer conscience. If you really wanted our help, then you wouldn't have insinuated that we are practicing fraud and lies. So, you have another agenda. If you didn't care what anybody else thought, you wouldn't have returned to post this comment. What's more, you made a Freudian slip when you said "I could care less what anyone in society thinks of my decisions". You're comments regarding faith are ironic to say the least.

Please explain how poisoning your son with sorcery is having faith in God? I can understand and even empathize with some people who choose radiation treatments because they legitimately believe in their efficacy. However, when you are aware of the statistics, and then are prepared to blame God when poisons do in fact kill your child, that's fundamentally wrong.

If you had followed God's rules of nutrition in the first place, you wouldn't have juvenile diabetes, never mind be dependent on a system of poisons that will lead to an early demise. Diabetes is fully reversible with God's medicines, including type 1. Unless the pancreas has been removed by that broken "medical" system, a cure is always possible.

I understand what you're doing here. You'll use conventional treatments and half-heartedly use alternative treatments, and prayer so that you can tell everybody else and yourself that you did everything that you could when it's all over. Then, when he dies, you and your family will blame the cancer, but that won't be what killed him. Let me reiterate that you came to us whilst maintaining that you weren't going to listen to "false promises". So, all of this was probably just a big manipulation to eliminate your own sense of guilt. I'm not going to let you get away with that, because I'm not prepared to have the death of an innocent child rest of my shoulders. Choosing allopathic medical treatments for your child's cancer, particularly with the known statistics available, is nothing short of murder. You will be looked upon by generations to come as one of many fools who offered their child as a human sacrifice upon the alter of the organized religion that is modern medicine.

Nevertheless, I can't walk away with a clear conscience without giving you the health answers that you asked for. The reason behind my harshness here is because I don't want to see another child die at the hands of the establishment. I most certainly don't want to be responsible by turning the other way when someone asked for help. Soy is one of the worst things that you can give to your son. Soy is toxic, even in its natural state. If you're going to use cheese, use regular or goat's cheese. Read this article about soy. We have our own pH chart here - http://healthwyze.org/index.php/ph-food-chart.html. Occasionally, your son will need something that is acidifying, such as red meat. On those occasions, you can compensate by using homemade lemonade and pineapple juice to quickly shift the pH. One more thing: Avoid all "sugar-free" drinks and chewing gums, because artificial sweeteners are the major cause of brain cancers.

I hope that you choose to do the right thing. I, along with almost everyone else reading this already knows how this is going to play out, but I had to try.

How dare you!! Have you no humanity!!
How could you respond to Steph-desparate mom in such a vile and hateful manner thus adding to her already unimaginal pain. I can well understand why your magazine "was silenced by the powers-that-be".
You are despicable excuses for human beings.
To quote this 5 year old's late Pap-Pap:"I've never known it to fail - what goes around comes around".

We rarely respond in a cheerful manner whenever a parent comes here and informs us that they're going to be involved in murdering their own child, and then asks us to bless that. We're funny like that.

We've found that most of the people that have a problem with what we do have a guilty conscience deep down, and it's not really us that they're angry at.

Please do get in touch with a place called the tree of life out in Arizona. The Dr name you want to reach there is Gabrial Cousins - 866-394-2520 call before it is too late.
