I was just on the phone with one of my dreamwork students who said he had to stand up to the doctors and not do their treatment regarding he and his wife conceiving a child. They chose natural instead. I heard the enfant laughing away in the background.But he also said to do the tests to find out specifically what the cancer is.My response was that they did not give me time to process the news that my recent x-rays showed a malignant tumor. Don't you want to find out for sure? is the question.My response is, give me time, give me the two months I need to explore all these decisions and lifestyle issues.I appreciate knowing about your friend, and you seem a person I also can trust because you are giving perspective and experience, and responding in a nice 'giving back' way.Other ex students and certain friends are also being honest and real with me in going into these issues. It's important not to feel alone in this, not just the warmth and sharing, but as humans have always done, consult each other on their life issues, yet make ones own decisions in the end.What I said to my partner this morning is that most people do not do inner work, do not take the time to explore the inner aspects of a life decision, the values. The values one lives by one dies by, if you make that choice. Unless living by certain values may kill you, like soldiers choosing to go off to war and kill people and a certain number get killed and maimed themselves.It's real out there in life!But the point is, develop the inner life, put the work in to know yourself, so that when life issues hit you strongly you are more prepared to make choices that make you more real to yourself and others.So I feel like you are conveying your friend's support to me, as well as your own. I look forward to receiving the book you sent. Will look at the website soon. Depends on how busy will be my day.The sun shines brightly here on this Netherlands day.Keep packing!Europe is amazing!-Strephon Thanks Rachael for this.

But he also said to do the tests to find out specifically what the cancer is.

My response was that they did not give me time to process the news that my recent x-rays showed a malignant tumor. Don’t you want to find out for sure? is the question.

My response is, give me time, give me the two months I need to explore all these decisions and lifestyle issues.

I appreciate knowing about your friend, and you seem a person I also can trust because you are giving perspective and experience, and responding in a nice ‘giving back’ way.

Other ex students and certain friends are also being honest and real with me in going into these issues. It’s important not to feel alone in this, not just the warmth and sharing, but as humans have always done, consult each other on their life issues, yet make ones own decisions in the end.

Unless living by certain values may kill you, like soldiers choosing to go off to war and kill people and a certain number get killed and maimed themselves.

It’s real out there in life!

But the point is, develop the inner life, put the work in to know yourself, so that when life issues hit you strongly you are more prepared to make choices that make you more real to yourself and others.

So I feel like you are conveying your friend’s support to me, as well as your own. I look forward to receiving the book you sent. Will look at the website soon. Depends on how busy will be my day.

The sun shines brightly here on this Netherlands day.

Keep packing!

Europe is amazing!

He felt He had a 50/50 shot at either way of treatment. Medical vs. Natural, or a combination of both? He knew he did not want his right to decide for his own body taken from him. He had always lived just his way and he figured why change now? He chose a natural route with the aid of some non evasive medical. He had been a chiropractor and natural practioner for his life. He also taught all of his paitience to live naturaly. I know one of his biggest challenges was the fear of dissapointing his family. They wanted him to do what ever medically possible to prolong his life or produce a cure. In the end, the choice was his and his alone. Of course he wanted to please his loved ones and comfort them yet he had to be true to himself. I think this was the biggest challenge for his family. Respecting his choice. He got very good results with his natural path. The doctors were impressed with the results. Another intersting note: I had been cleaning out my storage unit with my small amount of belongings I will be moving to Germany. I came across a herb healing book that Jack and I shared in his research for his cancer. I thought pass it on or Should I just get another one there? I send this book to you. It is a little worn but it reaches you with great energy. Inside there is a website that Jack wrote down he did recieve help from. He noticed good results. It may help you? I sent the book yesterday, it may take a few days to get to you. I hope you get it, but the website you can at least take a look at now. drjims-natural-cures.com Best of thoughts, Rachael :) My friend that faced the same issues as yourself felt the same way.
