Healing for All

My dear friend Paula sent me the Myeloma Baby and I thought it appropriate to put Froggy in charge of saving us all. This is my take on what is happening around us.  I will be glad to see when all this posturing from all the candidates is over.  We need to heal the world and bring about peace and lessen suffering.

We are here as we chose to learn but it is overwhelming at times, especially to those of us who have not been well and are facing life threatening illness.  Then the parents and children suffering outrageous attacks on their person and the horror of suffering.

I am using my Young living oils to keep calm, help my pain, and pass on peace to to others. Daily meditation and prayer (if you are the praying kind) do wonders to make us feel better.

We just took a wonderful drive thru the Redwoods of California, We have not been there in years. How Majestic and peaceful it is and fills you with wonder.  There is so much to be thankful for and we can pass it on each day to others.

I am taking Stontium to heal my mangled bones, it helps calcium into ones bones at a faster rate, you cannot take Calcium and Magnesium at the same time, at least 6 hours apart.  This is so much better than the chemical offerings and no known side effects. I also added MSN with Glucosamine and Chondroiton. I have had a bad knee since I was a teenager and with this bone problem from the MM I am suffering knee pain again.  I have had 2 knee surgeries and hope never to have more, as it is still my parts in there.  My last knee surgery was in the 70's.

I am trying to do more things with laughter as that is a really good way to boost the immune system.

I laughed my way thru this.

The Velcade SubQ along with my Poly MVA and  other myriad supplements has me back on track and I have my next lot of tests in December.  I am feeling great and being active, and have been a bit slow in posting information.  I am still taking curcumin and Cold Liver oil (Carlson Brand) not as heavy as before.

It seems you never know what the day will bring, I pray for the people on the East Coast and hope they survive the coming storm. We need to meditate daily for the peace on our planet.  This also will increase healing of the earth as well as the people. 

I am looking into lots of new things to add on our health. We can be sure the medical industry is not paying proper attention with all the mix ups of medicines and the problems that came recently.

Have a great week!

A New Start and Wonderful Healing

Here is a 'mob' of ducks who have become a family, they were fighting with each other then Gertrude, in the foreground, hatched 'baby' George, who is the biggest of the lot, you can just see his white neck at the back.   For some reason I guess they figured they need to clan up to protect him while he grew. So now they hang out together.  They have an occasional squabble but are unified.

That is how we should be with our family and friends, group together to give support.  I apologize for the writing delay but I have a had a busy summer.  This is what happens when your health improves 100%.  MY MM is still in my body but the new meds plus the natural supplements, have given me the most normal blood work I have had in years.  I have lost weight.  The weight was a symptom of the last  2 years of illness, once I improved I changed nothing and the weight came off.
I am thankful to God and man for my improvement.
I had 4 months of Velcade inject subcutaneous but not continuous.  4 weeks on then  2 off. I must say it worked very well for me.  At the beginning I had problems with the Velcade but after cutting the dose almost in half, I tolerated it extremely well and it gave the MM a solid kick.

I had the pleasure of have a few trips and enjoying them, Utah, Las Vegas, and the mountains of Idaho.
What a great experience to have no pain and actually enjoy my tripping about.Mountain air, new friends and lots of new experiences.  I am still taking my supplements but am off the Velcade for now and will be checked in 3 months.
Times are tough for everyone, even if you are not ill.  Have faith, meditate and if you so desire pray.
There is a lot a higher power can do for us all.   We have to keep the faith with all the bad energy flowing about.  Remember this is about choosing an honest person for the highest office in the land not about parties, or hanging on to old ways.  We need peace and calm throughout the world.

I have lots of positive feedback from people using the polymva.  Some are just using the polymva others are using with their chemotherapy, as it helps stop the side effects.
personally I have had the most minimum of discomfort from the Velcade (Which tends to aggravate the nerve endings causing neuropathy) I am fortunate only to have the tinest bit of it, which I put down to taking the Poly MVA at the same time.  I skipped it on the Velcade day but took it the next day.

I also noticed a rise in incidents of Multiple Myeloma and hope this can be stopped.  Such a nasty disease.
Here is my singing group this week and they sound wonderful.  I am sad my singing voice has gone but one day it may come back.  Take care and have a wonderful week:)

Getting Used to the "New World" finding some Humanity

Meeting a fellow traveler with the same disease was great, This young man is in complete remission.  His Stem cells transplants and tons of chemo therapy have put him in this happy place.  I pray for his complete recovery to stay with him.
This week, while traveling, (yes it is awesome to be well enough travel out for a few days) we listened to a story, fictional, called Vaccine Nation by David Lender, it put chills up my spine.  It quoted so many facts in this story you have to know that a large part of this actually happens.  This is about the rate of Autism in Children forced to receive government mandated vaccines, before they are allowed to go to school.  I have a neighbor who had a perfectly normal child till the age of 2, whom after many shots, developed autism. Proving this is next to impossible.  10 years ago the autism rate in children was 1 in 10,000 today it is 1 in 100 plus.   If this does not scare you it should.
Apparently the phama industry lobbied Congress to pass a law that removes them from being sued over the vaccines, and to show harm from them takes years of fighting.  The pharma industry has all the clout and the backing of congress.  You have to go before a "medical" committee to get anywhere and hope they are not paid off by the same industry.  Shocking! http://www.naturalnews.com/036499_Glaxo_whistleblower_bribery.html
I bring this up because today out it pops that GlaxoSmithKline pharmacetuicals was fined 3 Billion dollars in a fraud case, by selling mislabeled drugs, drugs to children that expressly forbid anyone under 18 taking them and huge kickbacks to doctors to write uneeded prescriptions for same.
I bet the 3 Billion was chicken feed when measured against 12 years of profiteering from this scheme.
What bothers me the most is why all of these people are not in jail.
Our society is falling apart, not just on election issues but on the people who are supposed to be leading us, who are as corrupt as the people doing dirty deeds, it is so sad.  We can only pray for something to change.
On a lighter note, many natural substances are being studied to show the effectiveness, of adding them to the chemotherapy and lessening the side effects, as well as making them more effective.
Margaret of Margarets Corner wrote a wonderful blog on this.
http://margaret.healthblogs.org/2012/07/16/killing-two-birds-with-one-stone-a-new-nano-curcumin-and-doxorubicin-study/

Hopefully, One day, more notice of natural things will become main stream.  I take Polymva with my Velcade (but skip it on drug day) this contains heavy doses of Alpha lipoic acid.  This capsule on its own it wonderful in blocking severe neuropathy and helping build the immune system.  500Mgs plus a day is great.  For those unable to purchase polymva the Alpha lipoic capsules are being added to several doctors regime to help chemo patients.  Have a great week and don't be beat by the heat!!!:)

Remembering Paula and a New supplement

What a week so far, and it is only Wednesday.  The sun is shining and the weather has finally given us some warmth. The animals are out and about.
One family is coping with the passing of their beloved Paula, who lived in Merseyside UK. She had MM and what a funny articulate person she was. God decided to take her back and we are at a loss for her departure, but richly filled from knowing her and sharing each others lives.
 I never met Paula but had emails that helped me and the love of sharing information on a personal level.
Her blogs hilarious  and informative..  Her beloved dog Buddy was by her side as she struggled to maintain her health.. Her beloved husband,  Bernard, was her rock. She is out of pain and receiving the blessings of those passed on. We will miss her but also know she is at peace. Prayers for her family would be appreciated.  The myeloma baby hangs out at my computer and Paula made dozens of these and donated to help fight cancer.
Another friend has come down with Kidney cancer and now it is in his bladder. Only prayers and faith can help us all deal with this fast spreading disease.
Below I am suggesting a new supplement, I do not have any connection to this except it helps people, I do not get paid to put this information out
A New Supplement has come to my attention!    
My friend Dina, has been a nutritionist for many years, I have known  her for over 15 years.  She does wonderful healing and always is looking for new products to help her customers, especially those with cancer.  Below I will tell you about it and it is up to you to check it out if you wish.  I have used products from this company.
Here is a blurb about AXIOM: Nutritional support for every cell in your body.

AXION™ is a comprehensive, full spectrum, Bi-Layer (sustained release) supplement that provides essential nutritional support for every cell and function of your body, including immune support, cardiovascular support, and metabolism. In addition, it contains essential vitamins, minerals, whole foods, enzymes, omega fatty acids, and probiotics for optimal health and vitality.

It’s not what you swallow, but what you absorb that counts. That’s why our extended release Bi-Layer technology has been developed. When you take regular vitamins, they dissolve too quickly and they get expelled in your urine instead of being fully absorbed. With our two-layer supplement, you get a sustained supply of nutrients. One instant release layer gives your body a kick-start of nutrients. The second layer, which has a specialized coating, releases another dose over a period of several hours. More vitamins are absorbed and less are eliminated. This process is a breakthrough in nutritional technology and could change the way supplements are used, less are eliminated. This is a breakthrough in vitamin absorption and could reshape the AM/PM vitamin world.

To read more about this and see if it something that would 

help you, below are instructions how to purchase. Dina's

customers are having some remarkable results from Axiom. I 

will leave her email and phone # at the end of this blog

Remember this is a nutritional supplement and something to 

help the body heal.

A Lot to Be Thankful For

I am trying to figure out how this new blogger works! Like

anything new, one just has to get used to things.  I am showing pictures of Flowers used at my Nephew's wedding in Australia, it was awesome outside event totally organic and natural.

This week I want to thank my friends and family for all the love and care bestowed upon me as I battle along with my cancer. I am doing rather well, and yes I have setbacks but compared to others I am so fortunate.

I have been getting cards, letters and phone calls, from around the globe, encouraging me to keep the faith and not  give up.  This means so much to a chronically ill person, and one cannot  be thankful enough for support like this.

As I mentioned, I am on limited chemotherapy, at the moment, and even at that had a lot of bad side effects, so the kind doctor almost cut it in half.  I see this chemotherapy as a short term adjunct to my natural healing.  The type of cancer I have is extreme and so far no known cure. This does not deter me from believing I will be healed and not have to battle as much.

My natural supplements have been increased and I am happy to say they are holding back some of the nasty side effects that I would have shown by now.  Yes I did battle with some but I managed to figure out what to add to make my body work better. 

When one has chemotherapy, their white and red blood cells are beat up along with the platelets, and Ihave been fortunate enough to have minimized the dropping of my blood work.  This past week I had a rest from chemo and along with my supplements was able to boost my white cell count almost to normal.  The doctors are surprised at how I do this.

I am thankful to the doctors and hospital as they are very kind and put up with my idiosyncrasies as to what I can and cannot do.  I am thankful for strangers who come up to me and tell me how pretty I look, it really is so nice to get these compliments, and for them to go out of their way to give them.

We need to pass on these gifts to others and always remember there is always someone worse off than you are.  I am thankful to my husband who takes care of me when I cannot.  I am thankful to God for his mercy. 

At this time people are struggling with so many issues and it can be overwhelming.  Just stop and say a prayer of thanks for what we have.  Yesterday I met a man at the hospital and he took 30 minutes to tell us of his woes and could not get over the negative aspect.  I asked him "Do you have a roof over your head? Do you get fed daily, Do you have friends and family?" He said yes so I reminded him he had a lot to be thankful for.  We must look at the small things and focus on the positive.

My sister, who has suffered for 30+ years with extreme crippling disease, (I do not think I could do what she has)  She sees herself as normal and took the time to send me a beautiful card of encouragement and baked me the most delicious fruit cake.  (Made with out sugar or diet sugar and very healthy).  It reminded me of the cooking our mother did.

So I leave you with this thought, be thankful for what you have and not what you have lost!

Spring, Golf, Family, Easter

Here we are in Azalea country and very appropriate as it is the Masters

golf this weekend. (Where women are looked down on as members so it is a Manly club!!!) But the grounds are spectacular. No this Azalea bush is in Australia.

Spring, showers and golf are the order of the day. As this is Easter Weekend we have a lot to be thankful for. You can always find someone who is suffering more than yourself.

I love the little stuffed bunnies. At our last home we had the cutest rabbits running around wild but I think the other wild critters ate them.

I am thankful for what I have and pray for my fellow sufferers. A lot of my dear friends who have MM, seem to be struggling at this point, I send them Easter Blessings.

I have been trying to fin my music that I uploaded but like everything else I do, blank memory!

I am blessed to be doing relatively well, I only have 2 bone spots where it has been eaten away recently. This is a big thing, as all the other dozens of holes have decided to take a holiday, for which I am very grateful.

For the very first time in 8 years I am going to succumb to some chemotherapy. A lighter dose of Velcade weekly for a month, given under the skin. This is an effort to stop the bone being eaten away.

I do hope it works. Have pumped up my other natural supplements and it shows. The only little problem I have is some muscle spasms in my left shoulder. (The hole in my humerus is thought to be causing this.)

The family is gathering and we are small but mighty, and blessed to have them back here in ID.

My daffodils are having a lovely run and have such sweet perfume. I had help getting my vegies planted. We are struggling to keep out apricot flowers from being frozen. The warmth comes early, the tree blooms and then nasty Mr frost turns up.

So have a blessed Easter, be well, be happy, be thankful.

Holidays, Hospitals, Health

This is what it looked like in the summer at the beach in Australia. Flood rain. Well my friends it is about time I started blogging again. This site would not let me in and had to change password, although I did not forget it, but I guess it must be time sensitive.

Had a wonderful trip for my nephew's wedding in Australia.

It is supposed to be hot and humid and all we had was cold and rain, we were in the highlands about 1.5 hours south of Sydney, very beautiful, the ceremony was delayed and hour till we got thru the downpour then the sun came out. We had a marvelous day and a different kind of wedding outdoors, with the bride and groom and friends doing all the decoration.

A professional could not have done better. It was wonderful to have a wedding event for 4 days and was able to visit with friends and relatives in a calm setting.

Unfortunately I had a femur problem and my leg was re-injured and that put a big dent in our plans, then the roads flooded, we had 2 sunny mild days at the beach but 3 days of constant rain.

Had to come home early and at the airport the wheelchair tipped over with me in it. The airline tried to keep me off the plane but I said no way, I must get home to get my leg fixed. (I think they thought they would have to divert the plane over the pacific somewhere but I did very well) The flight attendants were kind of shocked I did not drop over dead or something. I told them it takes more than that to do me in.

After arriving home, with a few other diversions like no seats from Los Angeles and an overnight stay, we arrived home next pm late, to find out heater had gone out and it was Sunday. 45 Degrees in the house. The neighbors rallied around like troopers and we had lovely personal heaters till the found a part, which took 24 hours to get.

Then in 5 days off to the hospital to have a rod placed in my other femur. Went very well but had to stay 2 weeks to get back on my feet. My biggest problem is the holes that the MM keeps making in my bones. (I went to the ER in Australia to a public hospital, I can tell you I wanted to make sure my leg was not broken, what a bunch of people who had no clue what was going on. My sister an RN came with me, and we saw my x-rays on the screen and could see no break. However they wanted to do all sorts of things, I said no thanks and ran as fast as I could hobble back to the car. Scary!!!!) So much for people thinking subsidized medicine is the answer. The hospital was probably over 100 years old and believe me the equipment not much better.

I did my initial RN training in Aussie but how things have changed, there are still a handful of hospitals up to standard, but that is only if you pay for private insurance.

Hospital stay here was good, and after my mishap with the staff (broken collar bone) last go around the doc asked every day, "are you being treated well?"

After 6 weeks of various radiations on my "holes" am now having a rest. I have upped my natural supplements, added something new, and have half hearted agreed to a lesser chemo, which is in a milder dose, just to get those wretched holes to stop appearing, then back big time on my supplements. My "newest " supplement has had one super side effect. MY RBC's or Red blood cells were extremely low. My really nice oncologist said, your bone marrow just can't manufacture enuf and you might need a transfusion. Well low and behold, 3 weeks of new "stuff" and RBC's are normal along with everything else except the white cells, that took a beating from the radiation. So one must always be vigilant with one's own body.

I was given a tip on Gallium Nitrate, This was used up to 2003, according to the web, to help heal the MM patients, especially the ones who had holes in their bones. i wonder why it disappeared. I have a theory but no one can tell me if my theory is correct. I think the Gallium Nitrate cannot be patented so they formed another substance to do the same job. However it is very ineffective, (my opinion along with many others) It coats the bone but not into the bone. Side effects can be bad, even death!! It makes you wonder but these are just my opinions.

So my friends have a great week and will fill you in on the gallium nitrate when I have more information.

No Chemo for me until all wbc's are normal.

Have been doing a lot of fresh juices which really help. (MY jaw cracked while in hospital as I had a lesion at the hinge, and I ate a carrot, the snap could be heard a mile away, after radiation, can at least open my mouth to clean my teeth and gum some food down.)

MM patients are on an eternal journey so one must be strong. Prayers and blessings to all!!
