Rachel writes – It’s with great sadness, we learnt of Rosa’s passing on Sept 6th 2015, after fighting a rare form of cancer over the last 2 years. I want to honour her memory & work with DNA, and the wonderful woman she was. My friend Rosa Parkin, who has died of cancer aged 43, was a magician, performer and traveller whose creative talents were matched by an incredible drive.
As an artist, Rosa found her feet with the alternative circus troupe Turbo Unit, making props for its shows in France, Spain and the UK in the mid-90s. After this, I roped her into art directing my first short film, That Sinking Feeling, a modern-day reworking of The Little Mermaid that required underwater effects and the construction of a lift that opened out into the sea. Her swift mastery of the role of art director, her craft skills, and her management of both the budget and the team, meant that she was inundated with offers of commercial work afterwards. Her real desire, however, incubated at Turbo, was to perform.
Rosa had many chapters in her life, but found her ultimate metier in magic. She studied at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque in Châlons-en-Champagne, and also as a female magician, she was a rarity. As a born storyteller, she effortlessly drew in an audience, through her theatric skill and absurdity, into something more intangible and wonderfully transformative.
Rosa was born in Canterbury, the daughter of Frank Parkin, a political sociologist and Oxford don who taught at Magdalen College, and his first wife, Diana Wignall, a left-wing activist and historian.
During her many years in France, Rosa acquired fluent French and ran several theatre companies. At the same time, she was also performing at events and festivals around the world. She became an accomplished lindy hopper, learning the dance at classes and clubs, and was still dancing weeks before she died.
Rosa’s curiosity and wonder at the world drove her to explore, but much of what she accomplished in her life had no road map: she created artworks, shows, businesses, and new starts in different countries from nothing, over and over again, each time succeeding with aplomb. Her enthusiasm was infectious.
Rosa is survived by her long-term partner and Turbo Unit colleague, Dadu Massy, by her son, Manu, by her mother, three brothers and a half-sister.
….. I remember my walk and talk with Rosa Parkin that weekend as we took a stroll of downtown Portland. Rosa who passed away of Leiomyosarcoma that autumn back at her home in Brighton U.K. However, but not before allowing me to see when she entered our Facebook she was unable to walk, bedridden with a 8 cm tumor in her uterus and flew to Oregon 8 months later for a visit to the coastline she always wanted to see but never knew how. I could tell while there with surmounting stress and fear of losing her 12 year old son Manu. . . .that her stress of having cancer was getting the best of her?
…. Both the Aquarian Age and the Mayan Great Cycle appear to have begun at the same time, around 2012. One could argue that there was contact since the word “maya” also can be found in Greek text. What’s interesting is both are based on precession of the equinoxes. Scientists today confirmed the galactic alignment as the Maya predicted, “There’s no question that one of the great cycles of the traditional ancient Mayan calendar comes to a completion of its count at that time in 2012,” says E.C. Krupp, Ph.D., director of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, California.
…. In fact, .many scientists believe .we should be paying closer attention. to what the Maya predicted for our own sake. Hidden in their hieroglyphic text is the key to our own salvation, however, we must open our minds to see it. The Maya calculated to the day… that the historic alignment on December 21, 2012 over 2,000 years ago.”…our ancestors devised every method imaginable to alert us to a single fact; now is the time of the most extraordinary conditions and opportunities that accompany the rarest of events, the shift from one world age to the next.” Fractal Time, ~ Gregg Braden.
let’s continue to seek Him, He is ALWAYS THERE… but we need to draw near Him, seek Him, His ways through His Word
And crucially, not waiting for someone else to fix it. The Age of Aquarius is about making the most of our freedom while bearing the responsibilities for our own lives, too.
With so much in transition, what can you do to future-proof ourselves? ‘The person who’s adaptable and trained to work in a number of settings will survive changes best, as will those who take responsibility without being asked,’ says Shelley. ‘If there is any quality essential for this new age, it’s retaining a youthful inquisitiveness about work and life.’ Transformation may not be tidy, but it’s full of opportunities. Whether you are a tech-loving rational thinker, or a new age hippy, consider whether you want to close your mind to the new world,
When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.- so if you don’t like the world you are living in then change the pattern of it one thought at a time. We are fundamentally mirrors for each other. And in our relational agreements, we can learn how to serve each other in a more conscious and neutral manner, in order that our intimate relationships can be more valuable vessels for spiritual growth. Without this understanding, and the tools necessary to craft such a relationship, we will often see the love and commitment of couples turn to spite and resentment.
Elaine Cantin’s Ketogenic Remedy
Published on Aug 31, 2012
Elaine Cantin was diagnosed with breast cancer and within one week was rushed into have a surgical lumpectomy. Doctors wanted to immediately begin ‘aggressive’ radiation and chemotherapy and this idea frightened Elaine, as she had seen many family members and friends die. Elaine said, “I thought that if I had to go, I would not be going that way.” Within six months the tumor had regrown in the original spot to the size of a small egg.
Elaine did exte…nsive research and testing with the ketogentic diet used at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center. She modified the diet…. to exclude dairy and other allergens, and once on this modified version of the diet, her tumor shrunk to the size of a chickpea in only two weeks. A biopsy of the ‘tumor’ revealed cancer cells were no longer present.
Recently Elaine has been given a clean bill of health as she is considered in remission.

In Cancer, Energy Healers, Healing Cancer Naturally on October 16, 2015 at 8:42 amWorking at my desk, I suddenly get the urge to feel under my arm—the lump. Distinct and concerning, Round two begins, September, 2014.
While my first instinct was to decline the biopsy, I decided that maybe I did need to know, that maybe it would help me to know how aggressive I needed to be in resolving the ‘situation’. Plus, without the biopsy, I am told, there was no way to know if this was a new cancer or recurrence (new cancer at stage one vs recurrence at stage three–but as it turns out, the biopsy was inconclusive) I was also inclined to decline the surgery, knowing this was not a good option (note to self—go with your gut in the future, it is smarter than the brain).
My surgeon agreed that opting out was a very good option. While it does seem like common sense that the removal of cancerous lymph nodes would improve survival rates, the evidence shows this is not the case and it causes far too much harm, further damaging an already sluggish lymphatic system—which can lead to lymphedema and more cancer. But then in further discussions, he said he could just remove that tiny spot, no need to put me to sleep, and that perhaps removal would help me sleep as I am the type of person who will remain awake, thinking, and thinking.

Through Our Dark Times
My father John David Olifent and mother Sheila June Olifent, both died with cancer in May and June 2008. During my parent’s illnesses and that of my uncle too, who later died with cancer, I witnessed some disturbing and seriously contradictory practices within conventional ‘standard of care’ cancer. I poured literally thousands of hours of research in and I amassed a large body of knowledge in traditional medical healthcare, alternative therapies, nutritional books, literature and various CD/DVD lectures and teaching.
The more knowledge I gained, the clearer the picture became as to what we in western society are doing to ourselves nutritionally and through our lifestyles. The information contained within our book ‘Do You Want to Know What we Did to Beat Cancer?’is inarguably the basis of what we chose to do when my wife was faced with cancer and was written off by the medical establishment in 2011. My wife Sue no longer has cancer following the significant nutritional and lifestyle changes that we put into practice.
Time For Change
Saturday, November 26, 2016
Hello, I am very concerned when I see and read daily posts of people suffering and dying of cancer. It is hard when it affects you personally as to watch your family members go through this very same tragedy, so many I cannot count by hand.
I remember almost six years ago today that I was told that I had breast cancer and the protocol they spoke to me about. I had to stop and think and say to myself there has got to be a better way to fix this issue. Through several hours of research by my husband and myself, we realized there are other options out there; however, they are not covered by insurance. http://www.thejourneytogoodhea
Per the insurance companies the options are experimental and are not proven. I bid them wrong, for there are studies out there regarding the type of treatments I have had, however, the FDA does not want to see them. To me the drugs and trials they are using are experimental and are affecting people with side effects.

Brings new life for survivors!!!
LONGPORT, N.J. (AP) – Two years ago, Allison Kashon tried to hit the gym three times a week. She rode her bike regularly and got her cardio in on treadmills and ellipticals.
All the stuff to keep a body healthy, she says.
But in December of 2013, the Longport resident had to look at her health in a whole new way.
She was diagnosed with stage1B triple negative breast cancer, and underwent a double mastectomy. Hardcore chemotherapy from March to mid-September left her body weak.
“I went in for my surgery, and after that I couldn’t lift my arms,” Kashon, 45, who went through a year of treatments, told The Press of Atlantic City (http://bit.ly/1eV0lzQ ). “With the treatments, the doctors told me I would feel like I got hit by a truck. That’s a gross understatement,” she said. “I felt like I got hit by a freight train.”
Let’s Clear the Air
Question: “What does it mean to have mustard seed faith?”
Answer: Faith is so vital to the Christian life that Scripture tells us that, without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Yet our faith is such a powerful gift from God (Ephesians 2:8–9) Christ told His disciples, with just a tiny measure of it, the size of a mustard seed, they could move mountains. So, what does it mean to have “mustard seed faith”?“Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it will move; Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:14–20).

Teresa’s Story
The following was posted by Teresa Levi on October 7, 2017:
So with the permission of Kathleen Blake and Teresa from the Gerson Support Group:
Today is the expiration date given to me by my first oncologist 2 years ago. Since I have no intention of expiring, I thought I would share the good news with you all on this date in particular.
No More METs! No NED! (No Evidence of Disease)
You know this healing process has it’s ups and downs. With the last 3 weeks being down from dealing with the pre and post hurricane Irma mess and limitations from lack of electricity with difficulty following the Gerson therapy it’s nice to have the up side to it.

I have spent a good 20 years of my life getting progressively sicker.
As a health- conscious individual, I always took care of myself by eating relatively well, exercising daily, and making a point of getting an annual physical the results of which I kept and analyzed.
I first noticed a problem due to my decreasing performance in athletic activities.
I played soccer in my teens and 20s and became a runner and biker in my 30s. Slowly over time, I noticed that I didn’t have the energy to maintain my preferred pace. I would run out of steam and just muscle my way through. I also started experiencing various aches and pains throughout my body, which I attributed to something I ate. At the age of 38, I decided to look at my blood work over time. That’s when I noticed that all my numbers were moving in a negative direction toward the low end of normal. Of course, my doctor didn’t think anything of it since I was still within the normal range, but I was worried.
When I became anemic, I pushed him to investigate further. I needed a long nap just to get through the evening and my aches and pains now extended to my sleep. I developed debilitating migraines and took Relpax for relief. Overall, I just did not feel right and knew something was wrong. I took iron pills for months, but there was no change in my blood work. Next my doctor recommended an iron infusion, but I went into anaphylactic shock.
