Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and positive thoughts. Reading through all these messages actually brought me to tears. The feeling of love and support is unbelievable. This is truly a wonderful place. Just a day ago I was feeling alone and now I can feel the warmth of all of you. Thank you again. It's true what JJ says 'If I want friends, I need look no further than TRF'. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If you are going to jump in a tank of snakes, being armed with prayer and good thoughts may be little to nothing on the effective scale.

http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/t...ut-cancer.html

Some countries have a zero cancer rate because the way people are treated. You find cancer that needs to be treated by looking for it. The aggressive way cancer is treated in AMA circles is not the final word on the subject.

I posted one link, you have google, go to work. Like anything, there are scams. Think, read, go to a long lived health food store, ask questions, but would I let doctors deal with my mother? No.

Essiac tea. Apricot seeds. Hemp oil. Live foods like fresh produce. Tomatoes are good food, but may increase pain in some people. Fresh air. Sunlight. Positive adtitude. Uplifting sermons and motivational speakers. The hands on touch of family and friends.

Have mom sit in a quiet place, the bathroom floor is my favorite. Soft lights, softly running water, no music or other sounds except the water. Have your mom think about grandparents that have passed on. There is a general conscienceless that one can slip into. It seems to be easier if you think about relatives that loved you. All nature wants to heal all living creatures. This is a karma based power, so it works with people with kind hearts.

The people here sending good thoughts does help, however it is no substitute for correct steps on your part and your mothers part. Finding a doctor contributing to bigger and larger hospitals will help the bigger larger hospitals more than people that to to them. 90,000 people died from infections they cought in hospitals last year.

Doctors with knives and poison drugs should always be a final resort. IMHO

Run not walk to a good health food store that has books, vitamins, alternative medicine.

Tell mom we love her. Fear harms healing, she needs to think she will be fine. She needs to believe she is in charge of her own health. No doctor can make her whole again, that is up to something much larger.

Thanks again everyone for all of your support. I should know tomorrow at 12pm Japan time how the operation went. I'll keep you posted. Your prayers and positive thoughts mean more than I can express at this moment. Thank you.

Thanks Gary for your very informative and caring post. It's interesting that you mention that she needs to believe she is in charge of her life, because she was a special needs teacher most of her life and that was her message to all of her students. She takes full responsibility for her actions and her health. The doctors tried to get her to take Statin; which is a drug for lowering high cholesterol, but she firmly told them no and that she didn't have high cholesterol, so why should she take it? They didn't really have an answer. Being Polynesian, we believe our ancestors are not far away, so I have no doubt that she is not only thinking about relatives, but also probably talking to them. Thank you for taking the time to think about my mother.

Hi everyone,

Although the cancer was removed without a problem, my mother is still in hospital. She seems to be having problems digesting food and has been vomiting blood. The doctors are not sure what is wrong, but they are doing everything they can.

Your continued prayers would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
