My Health and the Next Step

BACK HISTORY:

In 2013 I was diagnosed with multiple Myeloma. (in English bone marrow cancer) For the first six months to a year I was like a deer in headlights! I was in a lot of pain and could not do anything but try the allopathic methods on offer, often in dosages that resulted disastrous side effects.

Soon I started researching and found rare effective holistic products that could help me on my journey and now I’ve become a “ Internet Search Nerd”. I have tested and adopted these supplements which are really doing me some good.

Last year I started a campaign around this time to raise money to pursue holistic health treatment outside the United States for my multiple myeloma condition. Because of the generosity of my friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers, I was able to raise about $3000. Though a generous sum, it was still a long way from the actual cost going abroad for advanced wholistic cancer treatment. ($20,000 plus)
So I invested in alternative treatment botanicals and herbal supplements which are in use at many Advanced Holistic Cancer Center’s around the world. These remedies have actually helped and I am grateful to say that I am more stable (though not in remission) than I have ever been since 2013-which is in itself a victory!

I am energetic and my whole outlook for the future is very positive. So it is vital that I continue to take these supplements which have done so much good up till now. I balance an allopathic medicine program with alternative medicinal supplements which works for me and I honestly doubt I would be alive had I not adopted this best practices path. I want to thank everybody again who contributed last year to get this far.

I recently called in to KQED radio’s Forum show to praise the St. Helena Hospital/ O’Neill Cancer Center and Dr. Ethan Schram who are a big part of my healing team. Dr Schram really listens to me as a patient and is a key factor in achieving measurable progress with my health. Coincidentally, Dr. Schram was listening that day to KQED and I’m so glad he heard me praise his willingness to participate in my individual way of healing.

So I am again raising the funds to continue these holistic treatments and supplements which run about $3000 per year. I can save a little by using AutoShip services but at the moment I am not able to afford the costs of such a commitment.

I appreciate any financial help you can provide to help me continue making progress in my health and well-being. I will be writing regular updates to let you know how it’s going.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤️

As a sidenote....
I’m beginning to write some very healing and happy stories of non-humans- primarily involving cats and dogs. If I get them polished, will post some as updates here for you to enjoy. If you are interested in receiving one in your email box, please write a private email message and let me know...These “tales” will wag your day!
