Cancer does not care how much money you have...

[samrock]

My wife developed breast cancer in 2001.. She had 2 surgeries to remove a lump.. 1 to remove it and 1 to "clear the margins".. the 2nd was on 9/11/2001.. She had solid treatment.. she went thru chemo/radiation and seem to come out fine.. We both were very sad after the 2004 election when we heard Elizabeth Edwards also had gotten breast cancer. In March 2008 the cancer came back to my wife. and I lost her in early May of 2008.. so was 7 years from the moment it was 1st detected.. I felt a bit of a bitterness thinking DAMN if my wife could have gotten the treatments Mrs Edwards got I would not have lost her.. Now Mrs Edwards is gone.. Took 7 years for cancer to do it.. so it just shows it does not matter how much money you have.. Cancer will do what it does no matter what.. I hope we can find a way to defeat this ASAP and spare more the heart ache and pain..

4. So sorry about your wife

So many that I know have cancer right now. An epidemic is under way. They say within ten years 1 in 3 in this country will have some form of it (and that is conservative). The thing is the doctors are pushing ancient solutions. In 100 years they have little improved results, and natural methods (that are clearly being hidden from us) are proving GREAT results. Read Suzanne Somers best seller Knockout, it will blow your mind. I know many of you will jump on me for saying this but here is the problem as I see it; There are billions invested in the current cancer machinery, drugs and staff, it is a massive machine. If it was suddenly and widely known that cancer could be beat (not just stalled) so much $$$ would be lost. Cutting cancer tumors makes cancer spread, period (the tumor is just a symtom of whole body cancer)! And chemo stops the dividing of good cells along with the bad, leaving one vulnerable to other cancers. Lance Armstrong did well only because chemo does indeed work for the type he had. Chemo fails miserably for most of cancers though. Doctors, even many very well know and good ones, have blinders on. They prescribe chemo right away most of the time, they don't know what else to do. If they didn't learn it (natural methods) in college or medical seminars, well it just can't be beneficial (The FDA backs them as big pharm companies own them). Doing just a few things will lesson your chances of getting cancer many times over. Drink green tea daily, use the spice turmeric as often as possible, take vitamin D3 and get actual sun, eat only natural foods and drink good water, avoid toxins (don't drink fluoride water). Many doctors will admit, cancer generally happens because of gut issues, get healthy. Many are being CURED right now!
