Third Round...

I've started my third round of Xeloda....as I was talking with my oncologist yesterday, I asked," please will you do all the marker tests, just so I can have some idea what is going on". She insisted that I have had them done, although she couldn't find the paper work for the tests. Well I know why she couldn't find the paperwork, because I haven't been tested at ALL since I had all my womanly parts taken out in January. She then ordered the blood tests and MRI, because "supposedly" they do it after the third dose. She was all concerned that if I know the results, and if anything shows up I will stop fighting. What a crock....it would only make me fight even harder. I know they will not find anything, because I know my own body, I understand the signals it gives me, and I get angry when someone else tells me how I'm supposed to feel.
She asked how my feet were doing, and I told her that a family member had given me some ACUPEDS, they are foot patches that you put on at night, and they take the toxins out of your body. Anyway the day after I started using these patches, my foot pain was gone. When she asked me to write it down, so she could share this information with other patients, I was shocked, but instantly told her the name and where they can be purchased. Hopefully someone else will get the opportunity to be more comfortable during this process.
She also asked if I was doing any "alternative" therapy, so I told her about drinking the ph water, phytoplanktin, cod liver oil, and vidacell. She didn't seem concerned, so I will carry on. Chances are I would carry on without her blessing! She said they were having some problems with other patients. I think she just wanted to know what I was up to! Everything I'm doing compliments the drugs, it makes my body work more efficiently, and heal faster. It's funny, she keeps telling me to go get a steak, and have a huge lunch....that really is starting to bug me. "Vegetables are so boring"...that's what she said....when I think about this I can't help but shake my head.....HOLY!!!She should be advocating eating a healthier diet..
All in all, I feel good, and will carry on...

The Secret....to you

I have found that if I am a little to tense I watch this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phL0RLKL8bc

Well, I've finished my second round, with no problems. My only real concern right now is learning to take every dose when I'm supposed to. I missed 3 half days...not good. I know I didn't want to be taking these in the first place. I know I don't need them, but for the sake of others, and to ease their minds....I am taking them. I think it would be different if they could experience the feeling of it all for just one day....everyone would turn to alternative methods!
Momma Gray offered to help me get the ph ionizer machine that I so believe in...so hopefully it will be here by the end of next week. I will be so happy when I don't have to drive into Penticton every 4 days to get my ph water. I sure notice a difference when I don't have it, I feel sluggish, and pretty much just want to nap. Can't be doing that in my house...let me tell ya! It's supposed to be a nice day...I would love to spend the day outside, cleaning up the yard and puttering around...but I gotta go to Penticton to get some water. I can't imagine how Lila feels about me coming all the time...but she does insist that I not stop drinking it, for healing purposes.

Cheeseburger bird

When I got up this morning, I usually go straight for the door, to let the dog out. As I opened it, I could smell the spring, and hear the birds singing their "cheeseburger" song. I really want to know what kind of bird that is...a robin? It instantly made me energetic, calm and happy. I have been feeling quite good, and the oil of oregano seems to be doing wonders on my feet.

Tomorrow I need to go into Penticton to get some ink for my printer. I really need to download some petition forms and get going on this! I honestly cannot think of anyone who doesn't use some form of natural health products. I'm thinking I should also write a letter to MP. I was also thinking; how come there is a new sign in Cawston that reads.." Cawston, the organic capital of Canada" and yet I have to go elsewhere to get organic food from somewhere in the States???? What the heck is up with that? I understand that it's seasonal, but there are plenty of foods that a person can buy through the winter that keep. I may have to bring this to the store owners attention....here we go again.....

knowledge is freedom-become an active citizen!!!!!!

I went to a public meeting last night with a friend and her mom. It was about our freedoms in Canada, specifically our freedom to choose. The topic was How to Protect your natural Health products. Bills C51 and C52 will take this freedom of choice away. I didn't understand how important or serious it was until last night. I use vitamins, minerals, and products that you can't find in Canada...to make myself better, and the government wants to take that away. I shouldn't even write that down, because if someone who could enforce that law reads this, they could pound down my door and take all of this away from me and cause havoc! I never questioned "why" I couldn't get it in Canada, I never thought of my products as "illegal", but they are. WOW! I don't want someone who doesn't know me or the situation I'm in, taking my freedom to choose what works for me, to be the best I can be and the healthiest!!! As it is, we are loosing THOUSANDS of health products EVERY DAY!!!It's because of licencing laws, and the companies can't afford to licence all their products or they would go broke. Pretty scary!!! If anyone reads this and are remotely interested in helping stop these bills, please do, and there is a website http://www.charterofhealthfreedom.org/ to get a petition and read more....or for more information you can visit http://www.nhppa.org/

Another day, another challenge, another fight....knowledge is freedom! Learn, love, laugh...it is another day

blood analysis

Wow! I would suggest that if anyone is interested in checking out what is going on in their bodies to do this! It's amazing!! As I sat waiting to hear the results(which was pretty much instantaneous) I was thinking how bad my blood would be. As I sat and listened to Lila explain what was going on...yeast in cells, crystals, fungus, which is can be caused by the chemo pills I'm on....I was completely amazed! She knew about things that I ignore. For example... headaches, my foot problems, even the fused bones in my neck!! Lila even thought it would be worse than it was. We both discussed the diet and water and how it affects the cells and the plasma. Her analogy for this is; when you have a fish tank and the fish are sick, do you take out the fish and fix them one by one, and put them back into the dirty fish tank? OR do you clean the water and watch the fish get better, because their environment is better? That is the same as the cells in your plasma....the diet and ph water clean your "fish tank" and the cells follow!! I am so happy that I met Lila, she is my tutor...and such a great lady! She could see stress crystals in my plasma...something I have yet to master...to control, no actually to let go of issues that are effecting my health...it's amazing what these little guys do to our plasma! Her suggestion was to visualize the good cells and to let go of the bad...
In my research I found the website to get the ph water ionizer, of course at this time it's a little out of my reach...BUT the good news is they have a "portable" water jug that is within my reach! My friend Gail has contacted the company and for anyone who is interested in getting one( I strongly insist on this) you can get a discount through her website: http://www.scuttlebutt.biz/ Thank you Gail for following through on this! You are awesome!
Every day I realize how lucky I am to have met some really wonderful people, and how sometimes bad things create way more good things in a person's life. Family,friends of course, well...I've been blessed with the most supportive ever, I love them all, and will hopefully never have to return the favour!! If you understand what I mean!
All I can say is thank you over and over!!!

An OHHHHH moment.....

I have been searching for recipes...not an easy task! There is either a vegetarian diet, with sugar, or a diet with no gluten or diet without lactose, but it's impossible to find recipes without all three, no meat no gluten no sugar, AND, trying to stay within the ph rules. This is my new job, to find recipes which are within these rules and eventually make a book to share! Thanks to Gail who informed me how easy this actually is! I sure don't know how long it will take, but I figure within a year, I'll have some solid recipes, to cover all three meals, and dessert....have a piece of fruit...how hard is that!
I am doing a blood analysis with Lila on Friday, and am really excited about it, I want to see the changes in my blood! I realize that the chemotherapy drugs I'm taking are wreaking havoc, but it will be good to see the results at the end. I have found a portable ph water jug( which I can afford), and filters last a year...so I figure that will buy me enough time to save for a permanent one. I checked my ph again today....not good, very acidic, I wonder if that is the pills I'm taking, creating all that acid...I sure know it's not my eating habits or water intake!
It's something I will need to talk to Lila about...I'm sure we'll figure it out together. She also shared a canning tip with me...which will make canning much easier! No processing, just blanching to get peels off, put in jars, make pure juice, add, then put a piece of crumpled up wax paper on top, lid and freeze. I have never heard this method before, but it makes total sense...we boil all the goodness out of everything we 'think' is healthy...dumbass...just another one of those OHHHHH moments...lol...I have become very passionate about this, and enjoy every moment of learning.

Happy rainy Monday...I love the sound of the rain, it just seems so peaceful. We get so little of it. I saw my oncologist last Thursday, and they worried me again, I had to take an extra blood test because my wtc count was really low. My first test was on Tuesday, and I guess my count was .84 and then on Thursday (when they did it again) it was at 1.54 which is where it should be at for another dose of poison. She decided to give me an extra week off. Thank goodness, but on the other hand it just postpones the inevidable. I asked what stage it was at and she said stage 3 and invasive. Blah blah blah....it's all just a bunch of crap anyway. I am not worried in the least. My only concerns is the effect on my body, by taking Xeloda in the first place. I hate the way my feet hurt all the time, and have tried everything to make them better. On the brighter side, I have a new oncologist, and she is so awesome, I feel I can truely talk to her without wondering if she understands what I mean.
I cheated last week and got a latte from Timmy's....big mistake, the sugar in it made me sick. Dumbass, I won't do that again. I'll order a black coffee and take my own sweetener. I guess it's a sure way of knowing what different things do to your body. I've also been studing the Laetrile, vitamin B17. Very intersesting. I didn't even realize that alot of what I am eating from the Budwig diet and the 80 percent raw, 20 percent cooked food, is containing this life saving vitamin. It just confirms in my mind that I am on the right track. My biggest problem right now is gathering up the nerve to ask nan and pop for enough money to buy a ph water machine. I'm not sure if it was 3 or five grand, but I know I want to get one. I was drinking it for a couple of weeks then stopped, because I felt as though I was bugging Lila, but have started drinking it again, and it makes such a huge difference it's unbelievable! I would have everyone in the family and friends drinking it all the time!
