What you’re about to read is very serious, very personal and frankly, very sad.
When my wife was a sophomore in college, she lost her mother to a long-fought battle with ovarian cancer.
This was after losing both of her aunts (her mom’s sisters) to breast cancer just a couple years earlier…
Although Emily and I were only dating at the time, I knew we would one day get married and have kids, and I knew when we did that Emily would miss not having her mom around.
When that day came, and our first child was born, it was one of the happiest days in both of our lives. But at the same time, there were also moments of sadness when we reflected on how much we wish Emily’s mom were around to see her grandchild and give Emily “mom advice”.
So why do I tell you that story?
Why would I drop such an emotional bomb on you on a Saturday morning?
Here’s the deal: Painful as this is to recall, I wanted you to know that cancer has affected me and my family in a very real and personal way.
And with the ever-increasing cancer rates in our society, chances are you have any equally (if not more) sad story to tell.
That’s why I’m writing you this email…
Right now another mother is fighting cancer, and she’s not ready to leave her children:

Normally I don’t mix causes with marketing, but this one struck a chord, and in this fight every little bit helps.
Both Tim and Howie have been friends of mine for years, so I trust them.
And they are willing to trade you some “how to dominate google” videos for your donation…but frankly if that’s the only reason you’re donating I ask that you please reassess your motives.
For what it’s worth, I have made a personal donation well in excess of the “recommended” amount.
Now I’m asking you to do the same.
Please give if you can:

I lost 3 people to cancer over 22 mths in 94-95.A close friend an uncle then his wife my aunt.Now mother just recently beat breast cancer.Its sad to say but some days i had wished she was terminal because there would`nt be so much anxiety over the future,and to be blunt loss was familiar.Thats why i hate this disease the most(for the thoughts it puts in your head).
Thats why im creating my own fight cancer designs that show in no uncertain terms how angry and frightened we get when this thing jumps into our lives.My prayers to you and your friends.And i have to say having been on you and kerns and richs and stompers list for awhile,i never thought id see a post like this.Cudos to you.

Thanks for the wonderful invitation. About a year ago, my Dad, who has battled cancer, told me about a book that really helped him. He said the doctors were calling his progress “miraculous”. I looked the book up on Amazon and saw that others were being helped in a powerful way, so I bought it. Later, I was visiting with the reference lady at Borders, and she told me how her sister-in-law (who the doctors had given up on) had been healed by following the simple, easy-to-follow guidelines in this book. The book is called “The China Study”. Maybe it can help others here too.

Dear Ryan,
It is indeed sad to read the story and true enough it is like recalling a painful memory. I, too, had worn the shoes. My father had a lung cancer back in 2004. There wasn’t any sign before he was hospitalized. When we found out he had a lung cancer, it was already on a final stage (Stage 4). Despite our maximum effort for his recover, he finally had to succumb to the disease.
I wasn’t in his side when he closed his eyes and was still attempting to collect a donation for his medication. I wish I had found somebody like you and your whole network back then.
And it is also too sad, that I cannot offer any financial support at this time due to my current condition. Instead, allow me to offer my moral support to Marilyn and the extended family. May she and her family be strong in facing this trying moment. Deep in my heart I do believe God always has a purpose behind everything no matter how bitter it may be.

Ryan,
Your new post arrived in my inbox a couple of minutes ago and struck a chord immediately as my own family has been affected by the same scourge..that of Breast Cancer.You asked for my story and here it is;hopefully anyone of your subscribers reading this will take some comfort from a situation that is being played out ,as we speak, in thousands of homes across the Planet.
Scroll back to 1992 and the fateful day of the diagnosis in February.The world for us changed that day when my wife of 13 years was given the heartbreaking news.
We had two very young children, two beautiful Girls aged 3 and 7.
I will never forget the first words from Grania “What will happen to the Girls?” Well it is now Nov.2008 and 12 years after the passing of their Mother what did become of them?
It is a comforting feeling to look at them and realise that while the world changed for us on that day in February 1992, they have grown up into well rounded and capable adults now aged 20 and 25 with their lives stretching ahead of them!
In September 2009, in the Sunny Mediterranean, Sinead will marry her Fiancee of 5 years and her younger sister Aoife will be there to see she turns up on time,although it’s traditional to be late isn’t it?
Surrounded by Family and Friends it will be a day to remember for both of them, a day to remember their Mother and to reflect on what might have been.
Life does go on, albeit in a different way, when tragedy strikes at the heart of a family.I hope this will be of some consolation to those who are experiencing this now and who will, sadly, in the future

Ryan,
I commend you on your efforts to create an interest in folks taking a stand against such a devastating and costly disease. Many folks I know wouldn’t do that. This certainly shows that you are practicing what you preach with “giving more back”.
The only criticism I have is the following statement that is expressed on the linked page. “We realize there might be a few heartless bozo’s out there who might try to take advantage of this offer by giving something ridiculous, like a few measly dollars so they can get all these secrets virtually for free…”
The fact is, there are some folks out there receiving this that simply don’t have that kind of money. There are some folks who, if they donated $15, would be taking that amount and giving up something in order to do so because of what they believe. There are some folks who are on the brink of financial dispair, don’t know where to turn, and can’t even afford most of the tools and programs being offered by marketers, yourself included, to get them started in an internet business.
Their $15 donation, even a $5 donation to them would be difficult to come up with. But in exchange for what they get to feel in their heart - supporting the fight against cancer - is rewarding enough. Granting them the feeling that with the tools they get in return for their donation that they can pull themselves up and out of financial dispair, just might cause them to go on to significant financial success, and not forget how they got started. All one has to do is remember Danny Thomas, and my point is made.
Give everyone an opportunity to donate, and be grateful. It is the act of giving that matters more than the amount.
Blessings…Dominic

REPLY FROM RYAN: I agree with you Dominic about the “few measly dollars” comment. That said, I don’t think they’re referring to the people who joyfully give what they can give even though it’s a fairly small amount.
They’re referring to the people who could care less about the cause and just want to get a product for basically nothing.
I personally would have liked it better if there were no compensation at all (which is why I barely even mentioned they’re bonus videos in my email), but at the same time the main goal is to raise as much money as possible, and they’ll get more money if they give something away.
In the end, I hope no one is offended or refuses to give because of the “few measly dollars” comment.

My good thoughts and prayers go out to all who are fighting, directly and indirectly to win the war against Cancer.
I know too well the effect on families and friends.
My own father and many friends have died from Cancer.
That’s why I try to share all the good, positive information I am made aware of, in the hope that it may prove to be helpful.
Maybe study the book by Samuel S. Epstein -
‘Unreasonable Risk’ - How to avoid Cancer from cosmetics and personal care products -
Samuel Epstein is Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition.

Believe in the power of our creator - the power of our mind and the Conscious Energy Field that orchestrates our spiritual being.
Here’s a perfect example I what I mean . . .and it’s the truth!!
Just a few moments before I read your distressing email message, I was handed a copy of an audio CD by Phillip Day:
‘CANCER - THE WINNABLE WAR’ http://www.credence.org
I trust this information may prove helpful.

We could not donate more than “a few measly dollars”, and so we donate nothing for not being called “heartless bozos” who just want to “take advantage of this offer”. But we are sure that there are hundreds of people who are going through terrible situations (our is not about health, but read it, and tell us if it is a funny story; it is to make it known that we so badly need something like the Howie Schwartz’s product), and if all these people were not despised and dismissed because they would give no more than a few dollars, it might end piling up a good amount of money.
REPLY FROM RYAN: I agree with you Gabrielle. Please see my reply to similar comments from Dominic just a few posts up:

If you are such a marketing guru how about you become active in educating the public (and your friends) instead of feeding some pricy clinic massive funds?
They mention some alternatives are being used but they certainly do not cost $50,000! I would be glad to contribute the essential alternatives for robust cellular health that can reverse almost any disease -
D-Ribose, Vitamin C, Lecithin, Creatine, Niacinamide, and a few others, all directed toward robust cellular health and energy.
Note that body builders use all of these as they care about cellular health - the average American could care less!
There are proven cancer cures if the public were just made privy to them! Contributing to a “cancer” group is tantamount to encouraging the slash and burn approach of chemo and radiation. Contribute instead a path to self health, the web is full of it when you filter out the marketing hype!
Look at my http://health2us.com/cancer.htm for a proven cure for many years, blocked by the FDA from wide use; there were two books published about the grape cure for cancer that was 85% effective (NYC 1970’s or so?)and I personally can attest to the power of grape antioxidents as I literally rebuilt my heart from “the floppiest piece of meat the Doctor ever saw” to normal in just 9 months on a partial grape juice fast - dark grape juice only from morning to diner time and light natural dinners like eggs, nuts, fruit and fermented foods like yogurt, sourkraute, etc.
Let people know sugar is the ONLY food of cancer, for the damaged cells shift into a primative mode of survival, so cutting down on sugar and starches is a sure cure for cancer. Look at glycemicindex.com before you plan the next meal! The average American eats 140 pounds of sugar anually, because it is added to every food!
There is a Doctor in the Carolinas that took (6) terminal “go home to die” patients and with breathing ionic silver alone cured them all in a matter of months - a Dr. Brooks Bradley.
My dear costomer and Friend in Canada thet published a cure for cancer, a hemotologist that could see the results instantly, was executed by the medical establishment - cause of death “surgical error” - remember that consent form you sign? His cure was as simple as a teaspoon of ionic silver hourly and 2 grams of OPC (grape seed extract) (4) times daily. He had 100% cures and many were cancer problems!
I sell colloidal silver generators, the best in the world, manufacturing them at age 74, not just for the money but to help others help those in need. To see where my heart is see my latest solar powered unit for remote clinics at the NASA contest:
http://www.createthefuturecontest.com/pages/view/entriesdetail.html?entryID=2025
The establishment almost killed me with their stupid laxidasical errors in a hospital 20 years ago and I am fighting back!

Your email was very touching and Marilyn has wonderful loving energy. I gave what I could but also am offering to Marilyn distance energy healing. I have been an energy healer for over 10 years and am trained in a number of powerful energy healing modalities. I have worked with many degenerative diseases throughout the years and will be sending Marilyn remote healing treatments throughout the next several months on a daily basis. I will also put Marilyn on our group list of remote healers so that many people send her healing energies.
Thank you for the work that you do and wishing you and your team a glorious weekend.
Many blessings of love, peace, and gratitude.

I’m sorry but the traditional-medicine-and-research machine has failed miserably to produce meaningful results. About 40 years ago Nixon declared war on cancer, when 1 in 20 Americans got cancer. Now, untold billions of public and private funds later, the ratio is 1 in 3 for women and 1 in 2 for men - and growing. (Even if those numbers are off a bit – statistics are surprisingly well hidden by an industry that is embarrassed by them – the trend is very clear: We’re losing the war!)
It’s time to focus our hopes and resources elsewhere.
Some say more people are supported by cancer than are killed by it; i.e. it’s a huge industry that makes a lot of people a lot of money, especially drugs makers, doctors and treatment centers. They have a lot of emotional leverage and exploit that fear and false hope to keep people doing the same thing, even though they have a dismal record of results and still don’t have a cure.
What they do have to show (for your money) is ever more expensive therapies and diagnostic procedures which use to cut/burn/poison (through surgery/radiation/chemotherapy) thousands - who thank them for making their lives miserable! (This doesn’t even take into account the devastating effects of these very expensive approaches on families’ finances.) And the real irony: there is a very long history of alternative approaches that quite effective. You only have to look for it. Thank goodness for the Internet! (Side note: Most cancer rate reductions in recent years have come NOT from more effective treatment but changes in lifestyles and early detection methods. But even the alleged advantage of early detection is largely negated by the fact that alternative treatment methods are highly effective even when used against cancer at very advanced stages.)
No, you won’t be seeing it on TV or in ads because there’s very little profit in it to pay for all that expensive PR. Likewise, there are few studies and statistics supporting the success of alternatives because again, you have to remember that most studies are funded by companies paying for ‘research’ that promote their business. (When was the last time you saw sponsored research that result in a finding that went AGAINST the interests of its funders? Similarly, you won’t see testimonials on web pages that counter the assertions of the web page’s owner.) The funds and incentives to pay for studies of most alternatives just doesn’t exist.
So the cycle continues. People see all those pink ribbons, they see those slick ads, they certainly know someone who’s had cancer, and they fear they may get it too. So rather than *think* and take the time to *learn* these facts, they make the contributions, they participate in Runs and Walks but nothing really changes.
If you want to break the cycle, focus those massive marketing resources on getting the word out that alternatives exist that work. Here’s one resource: http://www.cancercontrolsociety.com/ You can attend their annual conference each year and meet hundreds of people who are walking proof that these methods work. They will even give referrals to these people who can tell you their stories. And there are many, many other resources. Just search the Web for alternative cancer treatment and related terms. Here’s another: http://www.cancersalves.com/
These sites are filled with effective treatments. They’re inexpensive, they preserve quality of life and certainly extend the quantity of life. Many thousands of lives have been saved but you won’t hear about this on the evening news except the occasional ‘expose’ talking about quacks. Are there some charlatans and quacks out there? Sure, there are a few - among many very committed and EFFECTIVE healers that don’t make billions of dollars or get celebrity endorsements or work out of impressive buildings.
Power doesn’t give up power willingly so you can bet there is a lot of effort - mostly funded by those in power - to discredit the methods and efforts of those dedicated to alternative cancer treatment approaches. And as more people reject the cut/burn/approach, the medical-industrial complex (to borrow from Eisenhower’s ‘military-industrial complex’ reference) will get even nastier. Call it the ‘Swiftboating’ of cancer treatment alternatives. Even the term ‘alternative’ is ironic as many of these methods existed long before the methods now accepted as mainstream. That’s the result of those providing (highly ineffective) approaches managing to shift public perceptions so that they are perceived as acceptable and even worthy of enthusiastic public support.
To the owner(s) of this site: I challenge you to not only post this comment as a guide to those brave enough and smart enough to balk at ‘convention’ once they know the facts. And I encourage you to turn away from what hasn’t worked for more than 40 years and direct your support efforts at those methods and treatments that DO work. Thank you.

We all need to focus on the cause and not the comment. I have been in this spot with my step father who did not make it with lung cancer. His picture hangs behind me in my office. He is looking over my shoulder every day guiding my business and my integrity. He was the most honest person I have ever know and became quite wealthy mostly due to his honesty. No one lost doing business with him, he would not have it. Everyone had to win or no deal. He taught me well that no one wins unless everyone involved wins as well. This cause is good and I for one will do what I can to help the very worthy cause.I suggest that if $5.00 is all you can afford, do it and not let a comment keep you from following your heart. If you make money from the material, give some more.

Ryan:
Just read your email and the comments on your blog. I have a story too of many family and friends who have died of cancer. My husband and I have often talked about trying to educate ourselves about the causes of cancer. We have always felt it was probably caused by chemicals in our food, chemicals in the products we use on our skin and in our home that we’re probably not even aware exist, and to some degree our environment.
I became so passionate about this topic that I dropped the internet business I had worked so hard on and spent over $20,000 developing. I attended an internet seminar where I met your friend, Stacy Kellams, and signed up for his course, and completed it. I then went on to develope a real estate marketing review site, interviewed experts and got the interviews transcribed and on CD’s, and developed my own product/continuity program. Stacy reviewed my site and was impressed and said I was on my way to doing very well…but I don’t tell this story to brag.
I dropped everything, and started an entirely new business to educate people about the harmful and sometimes fatal effects of the chemicals found in everyday skin care and personal care products. I am so passionate about informing every consumer, because our government (the FDA) has failed to do so, and is being bought off by the cosmetic and beauty industry lobbyist.
I started with an eBook and am now working on a product and continuity program. I’m not selling anything right now and it’s not my intention to promote here, I just want to share some very valuable information with your readers and hope they share it with their family and friends. My focus is on education, and to get the word out to women (and men) about the harmful, toxic and carcinogenic chemicals the cosmetic and beauty industry is putting in their products, and in CHILDREN’S products. The person who posted the comment about Samuel S. Epstein is right on topic. Every person reading this blog should visit http://www.preventcancer.com. A website (I mention in my eBook) I think is sponsored by the Cancer Prevention Coalition and where Dr. Samuel S. Epstein has some eye opening information about this whole topic of cancer.
Back in November of 1994, the Cancer Prevention Coalition and the Center For Constitutional Rights submitted a petition to the FDA calling for “Cancer Labeling Of Talc Products”. They did this because scientific studies proved “Talc” is another ingredient that has posed major FATAL risks of ovarian cancer. Talc products are regularly used by about 17% of women for genital hygiene purposes. Parents are unknowingly using this very harmful “talc powder” on their babies and young children, and themselves.
I encourage everyone reading this blog to at least read the articles on the site, ranging from avoiding the causes of breast and ovarian cancer, childhood cancers, prostate cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer and more. There are articles addressing genetically engineered milk and the risks associated with drinking it. I found this website to be one of the most important influences on me to make some major changes in what I now feed my family and what products we use on our skin and in our home.
Another very informative website I discovered is http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. This site is meant to be used as a “safety guide” for personal care and skin care products people are using on themselves and their children. The site compares ingredients in more than 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest resource of its kind. This website was started because believe it or not, the FDA does NOT require companies to test their own products for safety.
Here’s something that should get people to stand up and take notice about the harmful, even fatal effects of the products they’re using on themselves and their children.
According to a June 2000 Cancer Coalition press release:
“Cancer And Health Risk Experts Recently Concluded Reviews That Indicate Mainstream Cosmetics And Personal Hygiene Products Pose The Highest Cancer Risk Exposure To The General Public, Even Higher Than Smoking”.
This is something I never heard in the news, or read in the newspapers. I don’t understand, but I guess it all comes down to money. The public is not being informed that there are chemicals in their everyday skin care and personal care products their using on themselves and their children, that are KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER, because the FDA is not telling us what they already know. They are heavily influenced by industry lobbyist.
This is my first blog post every, but I felt an important one. I’m now off to make a donation. Keep up the good work Ryan, this is a worthy cause, and tell your wife to visit the cosmetic data base site and the prevent cancer site - it may change your family’s life as well.
Warm Regards,

Hey Ryan I’m really sorry to hear about the emotional challenges you and your family are experiencing. Strange as it is when it’s raining dollars that is a good thing, but when it’s raining tears of sadness & pain weather you’re directly in the storm or just close to it. The effects can make many reflect upon and feel the emotional sadness. I’m in Mpls, Mn now and hoping to relocate to Phoenix, AZ by around January. After going through and losing a tough battle of cancer with my mom a few years back and recently finding out that my adopted son now 22 has become HIV+. I’m dealing with the double shot of adding insult to injury. Because what was a GREAT relationship is now becoming strained like never before because as we all handle things differently and the death of his biological dad, combined with other issues of growing up. He in he is not seeing how he is drifting into alcoholism from his mother’s side. To make it worse he has achieved a lot and I/we have a lot to be proud of. But when someone has overcome so much growing up and with a 3.9GPA often times the ‘smartest’ are the slowest to see things that are taking them down the wrong road. Because of his intellect he is just not able to see nor am I able to convince him of the demon that has taken up residency in his body. On top of that I have had 2 close relatives pass away in the last 2 weeks. The ’shinning’ light that is coming out of this is I have created and am working on 3 business ideas (outside of the dirctoryofscottsdale.com thing)that feed off of each other that I feel can not only apply allot of the affiliated marketing wisdom I’ve learned.
But since I’m in my ‘Patch Adams’ last few chapters of my life of helping others. I feel once the 3 ideas are in place I believe whole heartedly they’ll provide a great form of ongoing revenue that will allow me to keep expanding my ideas of helping others. Providing I’m able to find a ‘partner’ to help put in place much of what I’ve learned from Guru’s like you. Only problem is I lack the computer knowledge to implement things to the fullest. So in closing I only hope the best can come from these tough times you and your family are going through. And if anyone lives in the Phoenix, AZ area and is serious about making lots of money that has a ton of ability to help me apply what I have gotten from Ryan and 20k of other materials that I have invested in. Please have them contact me at kcpropertiesllc@hotmail.com and serious only please and the ONLY catch is you MUST be willing to give back and help out others in need on top of the immediate family (s). Peace

I lost my mother when I was six, to cancer My maternal grandmother and grandfather when I was seven. Both of my paternal grandparents died of cancer. I was allowed to grow up in a family who used me for babysitter, cook and general servant. This of course took away my self respect and I chose a husband that abused and degraded not only me but our children. He finally did us the ultimate favor of abandoning us. I finished raising my five beautiful sons alone. Ten years ago, my wonderful child, Jimmy lost his six year battle to melanoma cancer. I have survived two cancers over a 12 year period. I probably have as close a relationship with cancer as anyone I know. I wish the big pharma- companys were telling the truth about finding a cure for cancer but they are only interested in lining their pockets. If you don’t believe me, look at the statistics. If more people are being saved from cancer it’s only because more cases of cancer are eating us up. That’s just a ratio, not getting ahead of the game. Unless you have a heart attack or are run over by a truck, stay out of hospitals and away from doctors. Unless of course you like putting money in their pockets and yourself in jeopardy.

Hi Ryan,
Im real sorry to hear your story and I feel from the bottom of my heart your pain and hurt thru this for I too suffer from cancer for over 3 years now..I had it 3 times and it keeps coming back..so I know the life it brings to family and friends and to the person that is suffering with it..Its very hard to deal with it because you never know what tomorrow will bring..thats why I try to live each day as my last..but its hard because of my kids and grandchildren which I love with all my heart..plus with all my pain its real hard for me to enjoy my grandchildren and do the thing that normal grandparents do with their grandchildren I cant do the normal things like play with them or do the normal activities..I cry alot over this.. because their young 2 - 7..But I always say “Theres Always Someone Else Out There Worse Off Then Me” Thats why I decided to start my own Internet Business to try and get my mine off my illness and focus on my Business and try to make my kids and grandchildren life alot better off when Im gone so they have something to look forward to.
All My Love To You

To add to the tragedy, any woman with so much family history of breast and ovarian cancer probably carries “the breast cancer gene”. Please ask your wife to discuss it with her doctor.

G’day Ryan,
I find I am at a loss as to what to say. I have a website called http://www.hypnosisforcancer.net. and there is information that everyone suffering from cancer should read. It ralates to the research of a German, Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer and an Aussie, world leading therapeutic hypnotist Rick Collingwood.
The website sucks, but the information is invaluable. Let me know what you think and I would be interested in setting up some sort of donation system from the site.

I am sorry for each and everyone involved with cancer as I can feel for you as I lost my 30 year old son to brain tumors-what they called them-one they could fix but not the other–for what–prolong death while being half dead. It was devastating then and still is when I write today.I have been supporting others for the past 15 years and it is very expensive and that is why I am attempting to get involved in internet business to continue this support. My God looks over you and blesses you all. I have a seperate email for the support which is steaminc@hotmail.com–Once again, my God blesses you and you yours’– please use him as your guiding light — he is there.

Hi Ryan…what can I say that hasn’t been said… only that the pain of life comes from many sources, like a river fed by multiple streams. Sometimes it is primarily a teacher in the karmic sense, awakening consciousness to greater truth. Sometimes it occurs as part of our service to God and life, a service that we agreed to prior to taking birth. Often, we do not know where it comes from. It is just there. In all cases the challenge is one of faithfulness - to remember, always, even though it may be hard and painful the goodness of God.
I really encourage you to be strong…believe me I know how this is, at the time I have a mother that is very ill as well, and this is the primary reason of why I’m trying to start with this business (to make more earnings for her treatment) plu finishing college (I’m a last year med student). I wish you from the botton of my heart all the best wishes and support to your family. These life challenges ultimately do make us stronger…

I agree with you about how we need to raise awareness for the risks women face with cancer in their lives. Breast and Ovarian cancer is usually detected too late (unless your have a proactive physician who really goes out of his/her way to stay on top of these silent killers) and is very disruptive even if it is caught early enough.
My friend Zna is a trainer who has developed an Oxygen rich training method that has been found to help repair cells and rejuvenate those who follow her workouts. She spent the entire month of October discussing the benefits of her O2 Breakthrough training on fighting and preventing breast cancer. She had guest speakers on her Blog Talk Radio Show and she gave some of her trade secret workouts to help women look and feel younger, plus send a rush of oxygen throughout their cells, suppressing the growth of tumors and repairing damaged cells.
Hyperbaric chambers are often used by physicians to help save people who have cancer by making the environment hostile for cancer cells to grow. So I thought I should let you know that prevention is close at hand, and with a lot of us praying for your wife, she can beat the odds that are stacked against her (having so many family members with cancer).
Thanks for allowing us to get the word out to women that we need them alive and that they need to take whatever precautions necessary to detect cancer early and prevent it in the first place!
Have an amazing day!

Hello Ryan,
I will be praying for Marilyn. Please forgive me for not donating. I would gladly except I am in a similar situation. April this year my husband was diagnosed with Large B Cell Diffused Lymphoma Cancer, Stage 3. Before he took the first Chemotherapy treatment, he had a ’slight’ heart attack. Therefore they gave him a reduced dosage as the first cycle.
Before the next treatment, we were sent to a different hospital for a test for what was supposed to be either stints or balloons but neither were installed. The surgeon instead met me in the hall, told me to look with him at the results on a computer monitor while my husband lay on a stretcher in the hallway. I viewed the results, we then explained to my spouse of 41 years that he was not a candidate for that but rather needed a quadruple bi pass instead. He began massive chest pains, they rushed him into surgery, 8 hours later I saw him again, thank God. Veins the length of his left leg were harvested to use for his heart…amazing stuff can be done medically these days!
Because of the severity of his condition and the latter stage of cancer, the doctors could not allow him time to fully recover from heart surgery before administering a second cycle of reduced dosage chemotherapy…about 3 weeks from the first cycle.
It has been a few months since our ordeal began. His test results still show what they believed to be live cancer cells after 7 cycles, five of which were full strength.
The physicians now want to perform a needle biopsy on the remains of the cancer. If the results are positive as they suspect, they want to administer what they refer to as “Big Chemo.” It is my understanding that it is Five times the strength of the full doses usually given. There is a risk that he may not survive, the chemo itself may kill him.
One thing for certain, he cannot work as a butcher again, if he ever can be employed again.
I totally understand the insurance issue, his insurance is supposed to cover 80% which I find hard to imagine with what I see mounting daily, it is already 6 figures for what we are supposed to pay…
Please let Marilyn know we will be praying for her, and for your wife…my own Dad passed away when my children were little, they didn’t get to know him either. I still miss him, and it has been 28 years.
Excuse my long post…I enjoy your emails by the way.
Praying this finds you in excellent health, the best of circumstances, and continued prosperity,
Betty

Ryan,
I would like to tell you about the Cancer in my Family. First I came down with it. I had Cervical Cancer when I was 32. I had a Hysterectomy and 108 Cobalt Treatments and a 41 Hour Radium Implant. That was in 1968. I had just gotten Married in 1965. The Cobalt Treatments made me so sick that I Prayed to Die. Now I am greatful that I didn’t die. In 1975 My Dad got Skin Cancer. He had a large Lump on his Upper Lip. It was removed twice, but it came back. Then I took him to Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. They Froze an area around it and took it off and froze it for one hour. When it was checked some had been left. He went through that same Procedure again right then. They got it all that time. After that he was as good as new.
In 1977 my only Sister had Throat Cancer. She beat that, then 10 years later she had Lung & Bone Cancer. She was so very Sick She had a lot of Radiation Treatments. They did not help. My Oldest Brother had Lung Cancer & Cancer in the Chest Cavity. They were going to Amputate Both his Legs. He was too bad. He Died on Sept. 9th 1989. My Sister Died on Dec. 4th 1989. My Father-in-Law Died Oct.9th 1989 From a Closed Head Injury In A Fall.
And now my Sisters Son is Dying with Cancer. They sent him home from the Hospital Today, to Die. Nothing more they can do. He has it in the Arteries going up to his Brain. He is only 51 years old. In 1975 we lost a Beautiful Daughter in an Automobile Crash. My Mother Died at age 51 with Coronary Artery Disease. My first Baby died at 13 weeks old with a Bad Heart Lucille

Hi Ryan
My medical disclaimer is I’m not a doctor or physician, however several years ago I suffered with a medical condition that in the normal course of events would have required radio active Iodine & that I continue to take medication for the rest of my life, I’m now about to go into my 15th year with none of the above, I didn’t have the radio active Iodine & I have not taken any prescribed medication other that visits to the dentist during the last 15 years, for some clarity as to why please review & pass on the enclosed information. For your information when I started using alternative natural medicine I didn’t have access to anything like the sophistication of a Dr Thomas Lodi at my disposal.
Here is a video interview of Dr Thomas Lodi who is a qualified Medical & Homeopathic Doctor who sits on medical board, explaining how a treatment & cure for Cancer works, he is a qualified Oncologist & a Naturopathic / Homeopathic doctor who shares outstanding clarity about this condition & how it can be eliminated from your body, you can go to Google video & search for Dr Thomas Lodi for more detailed information if this is of interest. Alternatively look up Dr Deepak Chopra a long standing conventional practitioner who ran a medical facility in Boston for over 20 years who now also offers an alternative remedy for the treatment & elimination of Cancer. Deepak has a higher profile than Thomas however both of these highly trained medical specialists drink from the same font of knowledge.

Bloodless Transfusions
I’m aware of bloodless transfusions because a Naturopath that I attended had a son with Spinal Cancer who used bloodless transfusions he had Chemo without blood transfusions, & subsequently went into complete remission, without the need for dialysis.
You may also be aware that for Cancer suffers one of the leading causes of concern when having Chemo is that you are given blood transfusions as the Chemo treatment destroys good & bad blood cells alike, find enclosed information on bloodless transfusions which allow you to have an injection that acts as a catalyst & causes the blood to reproduce itself without the need for blood transfusions, it can also be used by highly skilled surgeons in routine surgeries.
This is of particular importance because of the religious objections to having the blood from others, but behind that is the fact that our kidneys have evolved & are unique to us & so is our blood, upon the introduction of donated blood which has chemical preservatives added to it & in some cases you may receive blood from several persons depending on the reason why you need the blood, means that over the short term it may not cause any significant health concerns, however over the long term (during Chemo) when being given blood from multiple sources you find a number of Cancer suffers on dialysis because their kidneys are designed to filter their own unique blood & not blood from multiple sources, hence the link below outlines in more detail how bloodless transfusions work.

Here are the contact details for Dr Patricia Ford a pioneer of bloodless transfusions;

Cut & paste the above link into your browser to see Dr P Fords contact details this information can be passed onto the doctors at any hospital by email for further clarity, as they will be aware of the process, depending on their skill level.
My best regards to you all I hope this information is of use please pass it on
Warm regards

Hi,
As George stated above, cancer is more than a rampant disease, it’s a business that is thriving. Yes, it is a frightening and deadly disease, and the medical system uses that fear to sell their brand of healing… the one that makes the most money for them. They don’t want any other treatment known or discussed, even if it works, and either suppress the information or ridicule the source.
I was diagnosed with lymphoma back in Jan/07, but luckily haven’t required any treatment yet. I’ll do most anything to avoid the poison (chemotherapy) that is the usual treatment for this. Not sure if anyone here has heard of this, but a guy up here in Nova Scotia has discovered (or re-discovered) a cure for most cancers. His name is Rick Simpson and you owe it to yourself to visit his website (with an open mind) and see what he has to say.
http://www.phoenixtears.ca
NOTE: It’s not sales webite. He is selling nothing, just spreading the word/cure to the world.
Anyone looking for an all natural, plant-based treatment/cure for cancer needs to look it over.
We need to stop the hypocracy in the medical/political system and put healing back in the hands of the people, as it was for thousands of years…

Cancer has touch the lives of all of us in one way or another. I the last year, 4 close friends, have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer and two are now in remission. Unfortunately, two of my friends lost the battle and past on within 4 weeks of each other.
The funding for the fight against cancer is righteous is greatly needed. I have been involved, as a volunteer, since my grandmother past away over 40 years ago. Since that time that have been amazing discoveries with research and treatment. The cure continues to allude us, which demonstrates how challenging the human body is.
Currently, I am on the Chair of the Coaches vs. Cancer of Wisconsin. This is with the cooperation of the American Cancer Society and Basketball Coaches across America. This is another effort to create addition funds for research here in Wisconsin. We will have our second annual Gala ” Shoot for a Cure” in April 2009. I encourage you and your friends to do the same in your communities and States. You can join my Group “Coaches vs. Cancer” on LinkedIn, if you would like. This group is evolving and we will be exchanging ideas and lessons learned for one another moving forward.
The one thing Americans do best is come together to help one another…we are on this Earth for a reason and our destiny is mapped out for us. It is up to each of us to choose the correct path for our journey.
God Bless each of you and your families

To Everyone: From: Marilyn’s Family
Please know we appreciate every dollar donated… as well as your comments/suggestions. We did allow the comment about “a few heartless bozo’s” when the copy came for our review. I thought people who wanted to donate would see that a small donation was welcome and many did donate $5.00 to $15.00. Almost all of those people left comments saying they did not expect anything for thier donation.
But…
We want everyone to use these proven techniques to help bring more traffic and profit to your business. We never wanted to insult anyone. We are planing to do some follow up training with recorded calls and live teleseminars. So we have some hard costs involved. Please know we are very humbled by every donation. We thank God daily for all of your kind thoughts and financial help.
Sincerely,
Timothy Rea

Hi all,
I would have loved to make a well detailed post here explaining the reasons why I’m suggesting to Marilyn to contact immediately Dr. Robert O. Young, but I rather leave her to find out the whole history behind the PH Miracle cure for cancer. But I want to say to Marilyn this:
I know you are feeling overwhelm at this moment, who wound’t? I guess you are having lots of people giving you lots of advice, people, like myself, with good intentions. Among all the advice you have already received and the many to come, I ask you, almost beg, to visit Dr. Robert O. Young website:
http://www.phmiracleliving.com
Look for his telephone number and ring him!!
I don’t you know and you don’t know me, but I only can say this, although I don’t have cancer, I know what suffering is and I dislike knowing or seeing any fellow human being going through any kind of pain. I read about suffering every day and sadly I can do very little to help, but when it comes to suffering from any illness I can’t stop myself and ask the sufferer to expand his or her horizon because THERE IS other science most people don’t know about.
Please contact Dr. Young, I promise you there is hope (lots of hope). Please open the door to other possibilities even when your own Dr. will object to anything but conventional medicine.
What Dr. Young have to offer requires changes in our lives, and it is when we are challenged with changes we hesitate and prefer to go the way we “know”.
Even if you decide not to contact Dr. Robert O. Young (which by the way I have nothing to gain by recommending him) I wish you all the best in this very difficult moment.
Blessings and my positive thoughts towards you and your family.

I lost my Mother to cancer. Long, painful.
My Brother to a heart attack.
My other Brother to liver cancer.
My oldest Brother to emphysema.
My Sister is recovering from breast cancer treatment.
I know my contribution was just a small part, but it felt good to do something to help someone who’s Here NOW… fighting for life with her family.
I also like the sense of community you’re fostering with this effort Ryan.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
It sadens my heart to see all the diseases and sickness that surrounds our world. The US supposedly has one of the most advanced medical associations in the world and yet it one of the sickess and most obese nations in the world.
The problem is that we try and treat the symptom but not the cause.
The medical industry is a giant business making money off of the sick and weak. If they were really healing people don’t you think everyone would be walking around healthy?
I urge you to look through this website. You can learn how to naturally clean the body from the garbage that is slowing it down and making it sick. And also learn how to rebuild it.

Take care.
