Please Help James Grazzini Beat Cancer!

Donation protected
Please help me to help my husband, James. Many of you know Jim or Sifu from his years teaching Kung Fu, both on Vashon Island, and the Big Island of Hawaii. Others of you go back a lifetime with Jim, all the way back to your youth in Mt. Lake Terrace or at UW and during the wild sixties in Pioneer Square, Seattle. Some will remember him as one of the humble yet hard working organizers of the Island Earthfair for ten years.

James, or Jim, as many have known him, always has been a vital, gentle, health conscious maverick, living a Vegetarian, then Vegan and ultimately a living food diet over the past 40 years.

Sadly, a few months ago, he got Squamous Cell Cancer from his denture! The appliance caused an abrasion in his gum, and  that turned into a fast moving cancer. Although immediately inclined to a natural healing path for the entire body rather than just treating the symptom, he was convinced by the sincerity of his doctors to have the growth removed, but that took half his hard palate, his inner left cheek, along with skin grafts from his leg to his wrist, and then from his wrist to his mouth to make a skin flap canopy to act as a light cover palate of skin to separate his nose from his mouth because the cancer got into the bone and that was removed as well. 

After four days in ICU, he was then in regular hospital, but after all was said and done we received the news that they still consider he has Stage 4 cancer and want to do radiation while offering only a 30-40 or maybe 50% odd that it will even work!

Jim feels the doctors did their best, but he cannot continue on the allopathic path, nor abide radiation because he does not believe in it. He feels, with every fiber of his being, that he can beat this with the Gerson Method. The Institute suggests a four week stay, but at $6000 per week, we are stymied at how to even manage to get him there for the minimum required two weeks stay.

This request of $15,000 will get James to the Gerson Institute for the minimum they require of two weeks, but, if we can in any way keep him there for the optimal recommended four weeks of treatment, that would be our miracle intention.

Should you choose to help with a donation, the funds go entirely to his stay and treatment at the Gerson Institute. You will be updated on Jim's healing journey and; as soon as he is well, he will also be offering his shoji light collection as another option, if you might like to purchase one of his creations to help. We just have to get him up and feeling a little better to continue his work, which can be seen on his facebook page: James Grazzini - Fine Woodworking.

Thank you to all who take the time to read this. Blessings to you and yours for good health and happiness.

Love,
Susan
