Lab test on Naphtha cannabis oil

Deals in Mineral Oil, White Oil, Xylene, Naphtha, Cellulose Ethers, Resins, Benzene, Paraffin Oil…

“If you live in the USA then you won’t be getting the right Naphtha, “The correct naphtha is NOT sold in the U.S.A. Not at Tractor Supply or Home Depot or Lowes or even Sherwin Williams. All naphtha made in the USA can not be trusted because of the loose regulation on ingredients in this type of solvent. You will never get pure naphtha in the USA, even the vm&p can be completely inconsistent from one bottle to the next and isn’t even advertised as pure.

In Canada they make pure naphtha and it is the best solvent to use compared to ISO or Grain alcohol,  don’t make a huge mistake and waste meds  or even worse make yourself      or someone else even more sick by using the wrong solvent. Be warned the naphtha in the USA will even make an oil that looks completely as it should but will make you very sick.”   ~ Chase Abanatha

— The fact that pure aliphatic naphtha does not seem to be sold in the USA does not    mean that pure aliphatic naphtha with CAS number 64742-49-0 and a boiling point around 60-80°C does not exist or that it does not produce a better oil than most other solvents, when used properly.

But I would still not give up – light naphtha or similar solvents are used to extract oils  from plants, so I would check with vegetable oil producers and see what they use.

Where I live in Europe, I can buy the solvent in practically every hardware or paint store,  it is one of the most common technical liquids I remember from my childhood, we used it to degrease bicycle chains etc., practically everyone had a bottle of it at home.

So this whole neverending debate about solvents seems a bit ridiculous to me. When you use the right light naphtha, there is no solvent residue one would have to be concerned about, maybe a few ppm, just like in most cheap vegetable oils that are often produced with almost exactly the same solvent as what we recommend. JB

Methods: They differ per Country, so maybe have people write what works?

If you cannot get pure light naphtha, 99% or even better 99.9% isopropyl alcohol would   be our second choice.  So Why not use 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol  to get your oil extract?        It is anhydrous and will boil off easy in a crock pot, with a fan blowing across the top to keep the vapors down and bam you got Cannabis Hemp oil.

Can someone explain exactly why ISO is so toxic? I don’t ask this to be combative, it is because anything over 75% is unavailable for 1000 miles from here and can’t be shipped, except ISO  which  is  99%.  The process itself,  if done properly, should vaporize 99% or more of the ISO and decarbing should remove all but the smallest trace.

Furthermore, according wikipedia, ISO is far less toxic than methyl alcohol and it takes about 15g injested and untreated, to harm the average human and can be metabolized in small amounts. So I ask what is the harm considering it would be very difficult to get a toxic dose even if large quantities of RSO were ingested all at once.

I would like to say toxic compounds are used to extract legal cannabis ( food products)     all the time … some examples are freon,  propane,  butane,  hexane,  isopropyl alcohol, peptane.  None of these should be ingested or smoked. The consumer should be hyper aware but many are not.  Ethanol is a non toxic solvent . . . . so is CO2,  however,  CO2 originates from petroleum refining (so it’s a petroleum product too). With toxicity and   the environment in mind – only ethanol really makes sense to me as a scientist.

Ethanol is the solvent. It Extracts the components from the plant. The ethanol is boiled  off. Most lab tests show undetectable levels. If people make a tincture of the cannabis oil,  it is usually with olive or MCT oil, not alcohol.  Also Ethanol extracted cannabis oil is full spectrum unlike a CO2 extraction. When you take cannabis oil,  you are not consuming alcohol.

It’s actually supposed to be consumed with fats. Any kind of fat really, cause Cannabis        is fat soluble,  not water soluble.  That said,  some extracts,  using high proof booze and   other methods, don’t contain oil, so you would consume it with maybe toast with butter,   or whatever. Coconut oil is a popular opinion, cause it works well. Fats also enhance the Cannabis oil absorption.  Some edibles have this already in the recipes and it’s why they work well with Cannabis. Butter in Cookies, oil in brownies, that kind of thing. You can even make Cannabis infused cooking oils, wines, beers etc.

There are so many ways to do things now.

Hence why there is no reason to use toxic solvents to extract with either, so that’s why he made this post. High proof booze or oils work just fine and are safe, unlike Rick Simpson’s old methods.  There is even CO2 extraction and other methods now too which are safe.

.

The term RSO should be stricken from everyone’s minds, cause it’s wrong. I mean Naptha, geez. Nasty stuff and no need  for it. Learn what is being said, find out how it was made. It may indeed be made with safer methods,  but sports the term “RSO”, cause people love to use Rick Simpsons name to market oil, a lot.

.

 It doesn’t necessarily mean your particular one or all marketed that way are using toxic solvents to extract with.

.

**

If they get some Cannabis or grow to make their own oil, nobody wants you to be using Rick Simpson’s outdated methods, like using Naptha.  Nobody,  but an idiot would use    that now.  If it’s from a dispensary,  they are usually pretty up  on the latest things and should know their product and be able to tell you how it was made/extracted.  Could      even be on the label, or in a brochure or instructions or something.

Sorry friend. Rick Simpson is the “father” of the use of Cannabis for medicine in these times. I will not define my cannabis oil which I make myself any other way. Yes. I use a solvent and the Rick Simpson directions for making the medicine includes the technique for getting all the solvent out at the end of the process. I am in the process of killing cancer right now. I am using RSO that I made myself with a solvent. Loud and proud!

While he has used what we would think is toxic he suggested,  using pure grain alcohol       or even moonshine if you could get it.  Everclear definitely works the best and wont hurt you and we should promote that and be happy  and not speak badly of a guy who helped thousands of people and did it for free. If his oil was tested and the toxic stuff found in it and he hurt somebody with it then I could see it. I make mine from the video he made on YouTube.

I use Everclear because it works as an acceptable solvent and common sense told me     that I would rather use grain alcohol.  Rick Simpson is a pioneering or re pioneering cannabis advocate and to speak badly of him is petty  and wrong.  Just make it clear           to use Everclear like he has suggested.

Has nothing to do with being P.C. and everything to do with choosing to not be ignorant. Calling something by the wrong title, knowing that there is a correct title is choosing to be ignorant and I believe that Is what is trying to be made the point here. It causes confusion amongst the group, and spreads misinformation (be it inadvertently) causing people who are not well versed in cannabinoid oils to seek out the wrong thing.

Its about the bigger picture people. One could look into RSO and see that the preferred method according to Rick Simpson is using naptha, which is indeed toxic, and not give Everclear a chance. . . . due to it not being the preferred method. It’s also about correct terminology and education of the different solvents than about being p.c.

Is acetone an acceptable substitute for naptha?

If you mean as non-polar solvent for the common teks, no, it is not. Acetone would pull more things than you want to pull.

How about just a standard paint thinner cause I know VM&P is basically paint thinner?

Have you heard rumours that people have started using ultrasonic cleaners in natural therapies? You may be wondering if those rumours are true. Well, yes they are. There is an increasing movement towards the production of in-house products that advocates claim have astounding benefits for one’s well-being. And ultrasonic cleaners have a pivotal role in making these products, in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. At this point there are two major types of product – liposomal encapsulated vitamin C and CBD. 

.
Readers should seek their own professional medical and legal advice when considering these alternative treatments.
One popular supplement is called liposomal encapsulated vitamin C which is rather expensive commercially, but is comparatively cheap if made at home. The literature claims that taken orally, the efficacy of liposomal encapsulated vitamin C is comparable to IV administration. Of course it is also far more convenient. Proponents believe that it is the powerful action of the ultrasonic effect which changes the vitamin C from an expensive secretion, to one that largely bypasses the digestive system, so that it can be retained longer within the body’s tissues, to work its magic.

Sonicating Cannabis with MCT Oil!!!
Benefits of MCT Oil

MCT is Medium-chain triglyceride and it defined as medium or short length fatty acids with about twelve carbon atoms. The MCTs are quickly adsorbed and used by the body. Major sources of MCT oil include palm oil as well as coconut oil. The quick absorption   and digestion of MCT oil leads to various health and physical benefits. https://www.cannabistech.com/articles/a-leap-forward-in-cannabinoid-extraction-with-ultrasonic-techniques/

1. Enhances the immune system
The MCT oil is quite beneficial for ensuring proper health of the immune system, including providing assistance to certain illnesses. The easy absorption of MCT oil      assists to guard against inflammatory bowel diseases like irritable bowel syndrome         and Crohn’s disease. This oil kills all the microorganisms that invade the body and      cause chronic inflammation of the intestines.

 2. Diabetes
One of the vital benefits of MCT oil is that it balances out the levels of blood sugar.         This is very useful for people with diabetes since it assists to sustain energy, which   controls sugar levels. Aside from that, MCT oil promotes proper thyroid function     through enhancing the metabolism. It is also used in the treatment of obesity, mal-absorption and cystic fibroids.

 3. Boosts energy
MCT oil enhances a person’s energy without causing any of the side effects that other stimulants usually bring about.  This is because this particular oil goes directly to the      liver and thus provides instant energy without increasing the intake of food. This type        of energy  is  great  for  bodybuilders and athletes which provides a significant calorie increase.

 4. Increases endurance
MCT oil increases cellular energy and therefore it increases physical endurance as          well. MCT oil can spare glucose and thus assists your glycogen stores to last longer,     which delays fatigue.
Until your body adjusts to the use of MCT oil, it can cause uncomfortable stomach   cramps. If you have a history of liver complications, then you are advised to steer           away from MCT oil.

What Is Decarboxylation, and Why Does Your Cannabis Need It?

All cannabinoids contained within the trichomes of raw cannabis flowers have an extra carboxyl ring or group (COOH) attached to their chain. For example, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is synthesized in prevalence within the trichome heads of freshly harvested cannabis flowers. In most regulated markets, cannabis distributed in dispensaries contains labels detailing the product’s cannabinoid contents.

THCA, in many cases, prevails as the highest cannabinoid present in items that have not been decarboxylated (e.g., cannabis flowers and concentrates). THCA has a number of known benefits when consumed, including having anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective qualities. But THCA is not intoxicating, and must be converted into THC through decarboxylation before any effects can be felt.
What Causes Decarboxylation?

What Is THCA and What Are the Benefits of This Cannabinoid?

The two main catalysts for decarboxylation to occur are heat and time. Drying and     curing cannabis over time will cause a partial decarboxylation to occur. This is why  cannabis flowers also test for a presence of small amounts of THC along with THCA. Smoking and vaporizing will instantaneously decarboxylate cannabinoids due to the extremely high temperatures present, making them instantly available for absorption through inhalation.

While decarboxylated cannabinoids in vapor form can be easily absorbed in our lungs, edibles require these cannabinoids present in what we consume in order for our bodies to absorb them throughout digestion. Heating cannabinoids at a lower temperature over time allows us to decarboxylate the cannabinoids while preserving the integrity of the material we use so that we may infuse it into what we consume.

At What Temperature Does Decarboxylation Occur?

The THCA in cannabis begins to decarboxylate at approximately 220 degrees Fahrenheit after around 30-45 minutes of exposure. Full decarboxylation may require more time to occur. Many people choose to decarboxylate their cannabis at slightly lower temperatures for a much longer period of time in attempts to preserve terpenes. Many mono and sesquiterpenes are volatile and will evaporate at higher temperatures, leaving potentially undesirable flavors and aromas behind. The integrity of both cannabinoids and terpenoids are compromised by using temperatures exceed 300 degrees F, which is why temperatures in the 200’s are recommended.

Heat and time can also cause other forms of cannabinoid degradation to occur.  For  an example, CBN (cannabinol) is formed through the degradation and oxidization of THC, a process that can occur alongside decarboxylation. CBN accounts for a much more sedative and less directly psychoactive experience.

How to Decarboxylate Cannabis at Home

In order to decarboxylate cannabis at home, all you need is some starting material,            an oven set to 220-235 degrees F (depending on your location and oven model), some parchment paper, and a baking tray. Finely grind your cannabis until the material can      be spread thin over parchment and placed on your baking sheet. Allow the cannabis to bake for 30-45 minutes, or longer if desired.

Cannabis can also be decarboxylated in a slow cooker by introducing solvents such as cooking oils or lecithin. These methods create infusions that can be used in a variety of cooking recipes, topicals, and even cannabis capsules. Since they contain decarboxylated cannabinoids, they will be effective any way you choose to consume them.

What Are Cannabis Flavonoids and What Do They Do?

RELATED STORY
How to Make Your Own Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil Capsules

Here is a little secret that science has recently discovered for the marijuana community: Eating fresh mangoes or even drinking a fresh mango smoothie one hour prior to ingesting cannabis oil will dramatically increase the euphoric feelings felt by marijuana and help medical marijuana patients to ease their pain even more so and bring out the cannabinoid .
This is because a chemical compound known as myrcene terpenes, which is most often used for fragrances, can be found within cannabis and marijuana as well as many other various plants such as lemon grass, hops, and of course mangoes. This is why these types of plants of such rare and unique types of odors and aromas. Once ingested the chemical compound, or myrcene terpenes, assists the psychoactive substance THC by allowing it to pass through the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) at much faster speeds with much more efficiency. The time it takes for the THC to have an effect on the brain after inhalation is roughly seven seconds however, by eating a mango up to one hour prior to smoking the time it takes for THC to reach the brain and have an effect could be cut in half. As well as the length of the high and its time duration could be up to twice as long.
Individuals who have eaten a mango, digested it, and then ingest cannabis have noted that the euphoric feelings felt by marijuana are alarmingly much more intense. This is perfect for medical marijuana patients who would like an increased amount of pain relief. It is important to note the different speeds in metabolism for those who are attempting to try this experiment. This is because individuals who have faster metabolisms may need to ingest a bit more than those who do not have as fast of a metabolism as well as individuals with slower metabolisms may need to ingest a mango or mango smoothie up to an hour and a half prior to ingesting cannabis oil. This will help ensure that the myrcene terpenes found within mangoes have been properly digested and will have an effect.
What else is great about this interesting scientific fact is eating mangoes is another great way for the human body to receive additional amounts of vitamins and nutrition and it helps individuals avoid eating foods that are high in cholesterol or trans fats. Eating too many fatty foods when the ‘munchies’ occur can be harmful and even detrimental to an individual’s health. So be sure to stay healthy and to eat healthy whether smoking marijuana recreationally or medicinally.

Green Tea is rich in catechins, and while they are not technically considered part of the cannabinoid family, they are what scientists call “cannabimimetic.”
That basically means they behave the same way cannabinoids do inside your body. A 2010 study found that green tea has an affinity for the endocannabinoid system (ECS) which will help clean and activate cannabinoid receptors. https://vimeo.com/111259664
https://www.facebook.com/notes/gregory-karl-davis/activating-cannabinoid-receptors/397609560259679

Q: What is the endocannabinoid system (ECS)?

A: Discovered in the early ‘90s, The ECS is one of the most important physiologic systems involved in establishing and maintaining human health.
The body actually contains numerous specialized cannabinoid receptors in the brain and other organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs, as well as in the immune and nervous systems. In addition, our bodies naturally produce cannabis-like compounds known as endocannabinoids. The cannabinoid receptors, along with our self-made endocannabinoids and the enzymes that regulate their production and degradation, collectively make up the ECS.
Endocannabinoids function as “messengers” that communicate via the cannabinoid receptors to regulate numerous physiological and mental processes including appetite, sensation to pain, mood, and memory. The system’s interconnectedness and regulation     of so many crucial functions are believed responsible for its wide therapeutic potential.
The catechins in tea bind with receptors the same way cannabinoids from weed do.

 As a result, tea has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective qualities—just like cannabis.  Interestingly,  cannabis  isn’t the only plant that produces cannabinoids. There are a handful of plants other than cannabis that are high in healing cannabinoids. Many of  them also have chemicals that behave exactly like cannabinoids.

Green tea leapfrogs & cannabis oil is an EXCELLENT combo. Plus, green tea brings        you out of the drowsy weed comedown and gets rid of the eyelid drooping sleepiness,     and then you just blaze again! Green tea it’s one of the healthiest things you can drink
Cannabinoids are transformation products what we have discovered so far only in cannabis. But further on we recognized  they do not exist exclusively as Cannabinoids       in Hemp. After we discovered those Cannabinoids and begin them to study, it was recognized that in the human body there are receptors for the Cannabinoids and so          we discovered a part of our nervous system, and named it Endocannabinoid system.

The medicinal applications of CBD go way beyond pain relief. It has also been proven    that cannabis and the CBD in hemp are highly effective in producing the neuroprotective effect. Not only does it offer the antioxidant capabilities, but the anti-inflammatory property of CBD is at least twice as strong as hydrocortisone, and as much as twenty   times as compared to the effect of an over the counter pain reliever.

Cancer survivor Jake Bailey reveals the real struggles 

LAURA BAKER  Last updated 07:55, May 10 2017

 Cancer survivor Jake Bailey, who captured the world with his heart-wrenching  speech as head boy of Christchurch Boys’ High School, is releasing a book.

 In November 2015, the teenager delivered a speech at his school’s prize~ giving.

It coincided with his 5th day of chemotherapy for Burkitts non-Hodgkinson lymphoma,     a rare and aggressive cancer. If left untreated… he would have died within three weeks. Bailey is in remission and is working to teach others the lessons he learnt while facing death.

Bailey’s new book has given him closure on his battle with cancer
The teen says he found closure in writing the book

Jake Bailey: What Cancer Taught Me.

“It helped me to overcome those memories . . . It was an important part of closure.”

A ghostwriter worked with the now 19-year-old to piece together a collection of ideas he wrote during his three-month stay in the isolation room at Christchurch Hospital’s bone marrow transplant unit.
It reveals some of his darkest moments during the battle with stage four cancer in his kidneys, eye sockets, nasal passage, brain membrane, bone marrow, spinal fluid, cheek and jaw.
“The book shows a much more human side of me than perhaps the orchestrated, edited version of me you might see in interviews. It’s a very stripped-back, real, honest account  of what life was like before, during and after my cancer.”

When doctors told him he was in remission, he did not feel “happy, lucky, empowered       or strong or brave”.
“I felt like the battle was only really beginning, because my life had been tipped upside down.”
Ahead of the private book launch this Friday, Bailey flew into his hometown from           the  Gold Coast where he now lives leading a career as an inspirational speaker.
Since making the famous speech that launched him into the public spotlight Bailey         has delivered more than 40 motivational speeches at schools and corporate events            in  New Zealand and Australia.
“I feel really passionate about helping other people… I really enjoy sharing what               I’ve learnt and connecting with people . . . I’ve found it incredibly rewarding.

“My favourite part is having people come up and talk to me after and say ‘you’ve      changed my outlook’ . . . that’s the coolest thing in the world I reckon.”
Living a healthy lifestyle and staying in remission is his top priority. He is not afraid           to admit that he did not treat his body well before his diagnosis.
“I think it’s important to acknowledge that and to tell other people my age to look              at how they are treating their bodies.”
Today, he is careful with what he eats, puts an emphasis on exercise and gets plenty           of rest.
Bailey said he learnt to “look for the little bits of beauty and the awesome moments            in every day”.

“Happiness is the special moments you spend with friends or family in a normal week.”

JAKE BAILEY had just found out the most aggressive form of cancer known to science   was ravaging through his body when he gave this inspiring, heart-breaking speech to his classmates.

”Then they told me I wouldn’t be here tonight to deliver that speech”‘: Mr Bailey is undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatments, and was allowed a surprise break         from the hospital.  “‘Here’s the thing,  none of us get out of life alive,  so be gallant,            be great, be gracious and be grateful for the opportunities you have.”

‘We don’t know where we might end up, or when we might end up.’ Quoting Jim Rohn,    he went on to say: ‘Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.’ Jake Bailey is your average teenager who went to the dentist, and then his life changed forever. In this speech, he shares hard-won wisdom on the importance of gratitude

Sports movies are almost always inspirational. But add a new entry to the list.

The Miracle Season, may be the most inspirational yet, as it tells the true story of a high school volleyball team moving on after the tragic death of their leader, Caroline Found. But the tale of the real Caroline Found from The Miracle Season is somehow even more amazing than the film.

                                                                      The movie stars Helen Hunt as Kathy Bresnahan:

Coach of the Iowa City West High women’s volleyball team, and is based on the book        of  the same name by Bresnahan. Under Bresnahan, the team won the state title in 2010 behind the strong play of their  team captain,  Caroline “Line” Found,  stated before the 2011 season that the team would repeat as state champs, according to the Iowa City Press-Citizen.  http://www.thegazette.com/2011/08/12/iowa-city-girl-killed-in-moped-crash

As for those who had the pleasure of knowing Liner, creating the film was about capturing her exuberance and zest for life. How she led by example and took nothing or no one for granted. “[Line] made everyone feel like they were needed and loved. She made you feel like you were the most important person in the world,” recalls Bresnahan.

Following Line’s death, friends and teammates adopted the motto, “Live like Line” to honor her abundant life. These three words, which were printed on T-shirts, and bracelets provided the hope  and motivation for those grieving Line’s death.  It served as a rallying cry to never give up.

Star Player’s Death Devastates Team 🙁 

Caroline died in a bike accident on her way home from church, making it a painful and trying season for her teammates.

CBN News sat down with Caroline’s father and volleyball coach ahead of the film’s release.

Kathy Bresnahan,  Caroline’s coach, told us, “She was larger than that in life.  She      really was. I mean every 20 years or so, as a teacher,  or every decade you find that one really special unique person, and that was Caroline.  None of it is exaggerated.  She was  that special of a kid.” “My job as a coach was to help them through. That was it. Whether we stepped on the court in a uniform again, my job was to help them heal. And so that is how we approached each day. It was hard,” Bresnahan recalled.

 Found (9), who averaged 10.0 assists per game for West’s 2010 Class 4A state-championship squad, earned honorable-mention all-state honors. In the end, the memory of this remarkable young life pushed the Trojans to an unexpected second championship  in 2011.

Without their leader and star player, the team struggled mightily early in the season before rallying around the memory of their fallen teammate, ultimately triumphing unexpectedly and winning the state title again in 2011 — just like Line said they would.

So now that you know the incredible real life story behind the film, what is there to      know about the young woman who inspired it all?  “What I remember the most about Caroline was her smile … her smile and her laugh,”  Caroline’s father Ernie Found said, according  to The Gazette of Cedar Rapids, IA.  “Caroline could make light of something despite of how serious it might be at the moment in order to make everybody feel better.”

Ernie: ‘I Felt God’s Presence’ Despite Multiple Losses

Caroline’s father,  Ernie Found, not only suffers the loss of his daughter to tragedy,           but he also loses his wife to pancreatic cancer not long after Caroline’s untimely death.

At one point in the film, Ernie’s character says, “God hasn’t exactly shown up for me.” Found told CBN News that line, “was Hollywood.”

He continued, “That was a script. That was never something that entered my mind, because I felt His presence in a variety of ways.”

Bresnahan interjected, telling a story about the night of Ernie’s wife’s visitation,                  “I am saying ‘I am so sorry Ernie’. And he says, ‘Brez, my life has been blessed.’                 So, he felt God was there the whole way. He never wavered from that.”

“There was no chance of forfeiting the season [after Line passed]. That would have       been disrespectful to Caroline even  to consider the notion  of not having a season,” Bresnahan says. Ernie Found (portrayed by William Hurt in the film), Line’s father, tearfully recalled her birth on Father’s Day as his fondest memory of his daughter.          But it’s the way that she inspired everyone around her that makes him proudest.              “All she ever wanted to do was put a smile on someone else’s face,” Found says.

The film closes with Line’s best friend Kelly Fliehler (Erin Moriarty) discovering her      own self-worth as she steps up as a team leader. Eventually,  Fliehler lead the squad to their  second straight title,  which they dedicated to Line.  Bresnahan  is  optimistic  the    “The Miracle Season”  will inspire young audiences to  “Live Like Line” in their everyday lives. “Embrace each other because when you have the power of a group, we are so much stronger than we are as individuals,” says Bresnahan.

Hunt agrees, adding, “circling up with other women is how I survived some of my most difficult times. There’s power in sisterhood.

Found was also an inspiration to her peers, showing wisdom beyond her years.        “Simply, Caroline has inspired me to be a better person. She taught me to love a little harder, laugh a little more, and not to fret the small stuff,” Found’s former teammate      and friend, Ally Disterhoft, told The Gazette. “I think her story has inspired hundreds        of other people as well, and that is truly amazing.  I am a better person today because          I knew Caroline.  To know her was to love her,  I feel really blessed to have had the opportunity to do both.”

Found was born June 19, 1994 in Iowa City, and she passed away on Aug. 11, 2011. According to her obituary from Gay & Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service, “Caroline’s  her greatest pleasures  were the people she met  and the relationships she grew.”  Her obituary also states that, in addition to her widely-known skills on the volleyball court, “Caroline had a bounty of amazing gifts, chief of which was her ability to make others smile. She lit up the world with her enthusiasm, her vibrant spirit made her a friend to everyone.”

An ESPN profile of Found by Walter Villa also sheds more light on the type of outgoing and fun-loving person Found was, stating that she “was a compassionate classmate who wouldn’t let a shy kid eat lunch alone. She was a mischievous student who once ordered pizza while serving detention for a minor infraction. She was a gregarious girl who made friends — even of opposing players — everywhere she went.”

Given how friendly, loving, and caring Caroline Found was, it’s no wonder that even after her death she was still able to inspire her old team to rise up against all odds and become champions in her memory.

Live Like Line:

Caroline Found was more than just a volleyball star. She was a compassionate classmate who wouldn’t let a shy kid eat lunch alone. She was also a mischievous student who once ordered pizza while serving detention for a minor infraction.  She was a gregarious girl who made friends — even of opposing players — everywhere she went.

“Half the time, I couldn’t find her for pregame warm-ups because she was talking with    the girls on the other team,” said Iowa City West High volleyball coach Kathy Bresnahan. “She was irreverent, funny and spontaneous. She was in with the popular crowd, and yet she embraced everyone.”

                                                                                      Caroline Slocum Found (1994-2011)

A 5-foot-10 setter, Found led West to its first state title in 2010 and was eager to repeat    as a senior in 2011. But around 9:40 p.m. on Aug. 11, the 17-year-old was riding a moped home from a church youth meeting when she struck a curb and lost control. Found, who was not wearing a helmet,  crashed into a tree and was killed upon impact,  police said.   “It still doesn’t seem real,” said Hannah Infelt, a senior middle blocker at West. “I’m still waiting for her to pop out and say it was a prank.”

Current and former players struggled with their emotions in the wake of the tragedy.    West graduate Alli O’Deen,  a freshman outside hitter  for  the University of Iowa, said      she “fell to the ground and lost it” when she heard the news about her former teammate.

Two players called Bresnahan at 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 12 to break the news, and the coach says her phone rang nonstop for the next several hours. By 7 a.m., the team had gathered for practice — only to find several hundred West students  also sobbing  on the court in a darkened gym. Bresnahan invited them to share their favorite memories of their friend. Then they wrote letters to Found, which Bresnahan has kept in a sealed box.

“I just wrote ‘I love you’ over and over,” Infelt said. Later that morning, 100 of Found’s friends walked hand-in-hand  to the crash site.  They hung a No. 9 jersey — Found’s now-retired number — in the tree she struck, laid flowers and prayed. At the next day’s practice, the girls couldn’t jog more than half a lap before falling to the floor in tears. “The little time we practiced was spent ball-handling and not on any in-system plays,” Bresnahan said. “We didn’t want more reminders that we didn’t have our setter running the show.”

Four days after the accident, thousands attended the visitation for Found inside the     West High gym, including several rival teams and the entire University of Iowa volleyball squad.  Tragedy struck again  when Ellyn Found — Caroline’s mother — died on Aug. 23. Ellyn, who had been suffering from pancreatic cancer since April, was 55. was survived by her husband, Ernie, son Gregg, 25, and daughter Catharine, 22.

Infelt said she and her teammates tried to support the Found family as best they could. “But it was like they were giving us support,” Infelt said.

Ernie Found, whose voice still breaks when he speaks about Caroline and Ellyn, said he was happy to help because “running away from the situation wasn’t going to do any good.” He notes that Caroline shared many of her best qualities with her mother.  “She was able to inspire people and bring them together,” said Ernie.

The West players were touched by the love shown by rival teams. Opponents wore bracelets or shirts that read “Live Like Line,” a nod to Found’s nickname. A ritual developed in which the West players placed Found’s shoes under an otherwise empty chair.

Senior Kelley Fliehler was made the setter. Three days before the crash, Found had   moved into Fliehler’s house so she could be closer to the hospital where her mother        was being treated. “I was prepared to be strong for her when her mom passed away,” Fliehler said. “But I never expected anything to happen to Caroline.”

Then again, little of what happened this past season was expected. Despite missing       their star setter and spiritual leader, the Women of Troy battled all the way to the state final on Nov. 12, where they faced another significant challenge in rival Iowa City High.

 West lost the first two sets of the title match and faced another seemingly insurmountable deficit.  “I was just hoping not to lose 3-0,”  Bresnahan said.  But the West players battled back to force a fifth set. Four times Iowa City took one-point leads, including match point at 14-13 — but missed a serve each time, reinforcing the notion that fate had intervened on West’s behalf. West had two failed match points of its own before senior Shelly Stumpff’s kill clinched the championship

..

At the trophy ceremony, West players held up a portrait of Found. Fittingly, the song       that played over the loudspeaker was “Sweet Caroline.”

“That was the perfect way to end the season,  because she loved that song,”  Fliehler         said. “Winning state a second straight year made her dream come true. We did it for her. We felt like she was still with us.”     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGEK6swDBHo

How to Pronounce Solitarius

 Preview  How to Pronounce Solitarius (video link)

 

Many ask this question and it’s meaning 🙂

 I created the website Solitarius.org because my father played many hands of Solitaire his whole life handed down to him by his mother. The game got him through the depression years as a kid, through WWII and his adult life through cancer 14 years and his 14 months of terminal illness. As I always watched, wondered how awesome it would be to have a website one can go to for answers to cancer. 

.

 In that 14months he also won 14 hands simply by walking through the hand with the 4 aces given to him at the top. He told me once, it was like the deck was playing him and that gave him a sense of peace where he is headed. With My thoughts after 12 years of researching after his death this disease might be an imbalance of the Mind, Body & Soul. In the aftermath of this dreadful time: I believed his cancer occurred do to a sense of loss & emotional conflict going on within and no real purpose in retirement!!!

You Can Heal Yourself!

Within your physical body you have everything you need to heal, whether this is in terms of maintaining ongoing health and longevity, overcoming the flu, or recovering from a more serious injury or state of disease.

Each of the many cells making up your physical body are able to heal from the inside out. Your body has the innate knowing how to repair injuries, reverse abnormal cells, release toxins, eliminate infections and keep you healthy.

So if your body can heal itself… Why aren’t you completely vibrant, full of health and well being at all times?…

The simple truth is that your physical self healing ability is tied to your mental, emotional, and spiritual being. Negative thinking, toxic emotions, and external density can block the natural healing flow of your energy body.

Stress, despair, guilt and grief, and even loneliness or boredom shift your vibration out of one which supports self healing. With this basic understanding, it’s no surprise that self healing abilities get blocked from time to time, or often for certain people, and we experience sickness, possibly lowering our standards  of what it means to “feel good” over time.

The good news is that with awareness, you can shift the script.

Here are some simple tips to start unblocking the flow of energy healing through your body. You have more control that you may realize in creating your life experience. By being proactive in terms of your activating your bodies self healing ability, you can move in the direction of increased wellness, recovery, and prevention.

While self healing is very real, I’m not saying to stop going to the doctor, or taking your antibiotics if you have an infection… But supplementing what you’re already doing to heal with the power of your mind, body and spirit can’t hurt and it very well may help so check out the tips and start taking action to heal yourself now.

Four Tips to Invite Self Healing Back Into Your Life

1. Believe You Can Heal Yourself

Your belief around your bodies ability to heal itself directly influences the result you experience. Leverage the placibo effect to your advantage by believing you’re getting better using whatever remedies you’ve decided upon, and your belief will manifest and make it so. If you buy into any diagnosis that what you’re experiencing is “incurable” or “chronic”, this will be your experience. Do whatever you need to stay focused on your complete and total healing, releasing doubt and fear into the light, and returning to feeling, knowing, and believing that you are healthy and well. Come up with a plan for your healing, believe it will work and stick with it, and you really can heal yourself.

2. Leverage Support

To help keep you positive, and progressing forward on your path of healing, leveraging the support of others is essential. As Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” So to solve your problem of needing healing, connect with someone who can provide support mentally, emotionally, and energetically.

There are many talented energy healers you may want to leverage on your self healing journey. It’s also a great idea to take in positive information through books about self healing, stories of others who have healed (check out the Spontaneous Remission Project), and get involved with people and activities who inspire you believe that yes, you can heal yourself. Here on Ask-Angels.com, Sheelagh offers Angel Healing Readings to support you on your healing journey.

 3. Identify the Root Cause

With this step I’m not talking about buying into any diagnosis about what you’re experiencing… But rather, take time to go within to identify the core emotions, feelings, and actions which may have led to your feeling less than vibrant. Any disease or injury offers an opportunity to increase awareness… What’s really going on in your life that triggered this challenging state of being?

Get honest with yourself as you review your choices leading up until now… Not judge         or make yourself feel bad but rather to become aware of where you can make different choices that you have been,  to create a more positive result.  When illness strikes you     have the choice to fall into victim-hood,  or to step into awakening,  awareness, and forward movement on your path of healing.

4. Invoke Angelic Assistance and Honor Your Intuition

Archangel Raphael and your team of healing angels are on hand to assist you in peeling back the layers of density present in your energetic being, to allow your vibrant, radiant, natural state of well being to shine through. To invoke the healing energy of Archangel Raphael and your team of healing angels, simply think or say, ‘Archangel Raphael and      the healing angels of light, please surround me in healing energy. Help me to clear my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being from negativity in all it’s forms.

Release any dense or toxic energy within my being into the light, and help me to stay grounded, centered, and present in the energy of love. Help me to startmaking healthy choices in the present moment to restore my natural, radiant, state of well being.” When you invoke the healing light of the angels and of Archangel Raphael, you will receive help. Often in the form of seeing the steps you can take to heal yourself. Be sure to act upon any intuitive nudges you receive. You may also want to simply ask your body what it needs to heal, and then take action to bring yourself into alignment with the positive state you seek.

Once you’ve committed to healing yourself, relax and surrender the final outcome to the Divine. Take the necessary steps to self heal, but also allow yourself to be present in the moment to reclaim your power to awaken and to find the blessings within your current physical challenges.

Come up with a self healing action plan and stick with it. Be sure to include time for relaxation, meditation, and infuse yourself with positive energy and you move forward     on your self healing journey.

With love and gratitude,

 I want to tell you my story…

When I was 16 years old I had an experience that would change my life forever, I did not know this at the time. I stood in front of a mirror and looked myself deeply in the eyes.  Suddenly out of nowhere I heard a voice saying “Who Are You?” I was not sure if this voice came from within myself or from somewhere else.

When I gazed into my own eyes. I suddenly disengaged from perceiving myself as the familiar “me,”  but experienced myself as the timeless soul I truly was. I then was catapulted into a completely different, but at the same time, an incredibly familiar reality.  I saw at a very deep level that everything who I thought I was was false.  That in realty who I was had nothing to do with my personality, looks or achievements, but that     I was an eternal soul.

This experience only lasted for a minute  or so but it felt like an eternity.  I had peered through the veil of illusion but it came so instantaneously, so forcefully and so out of nowhere that it was a huge shock for me.   I didn’t know what to make of it and I felt I could not share it with anyone out of fear of being labeled crazy. So I buried it deep inside of me.

A few years later I was also diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases caused not only by radioactivity poisoning from the Chernobyl nuclear accident (I was a child playing outside in Austria the day the radioactive fallout occurred) but also from not living from the deep truth I had seen.

My doctor told me that there was nothing that could be done. He then proceeded to show me the worst case scenario pictures of people with the same conditions, telling me that this is what my life will look like.  I remember leaving his office completely devastated,  feeling like I had lost control over my body.

Because I trusted and believed in my doctor, I bought into this type of negative spell and thought that I was powerless. As hard as this experience was at the time, it also led me to the beautiful and exciting life I now have as it catapulted me on a lifelong path of learning and growing. I not only wanted to learn how I could heal myself but I wanted to become a healer and show others how to do the same.

I earned a medical degree and became a family physician in Austria.

I received numerous other certifications in alternative, nutritional and energy medicine.

I studied with indigenous healers in the Amazon rainforest and also had the fortune to have incredible mentors from around the world who have shown me things that would normally take decades to learn. I’m forever grateful for all the things I learned, however  but I still did not understand the true nature of healing.

My biggest healing breakthrough came in 2009 after another powerful spiritual awakening experience lasted for 2 weeks.  Again, it came out of nowhere but this time it was beautiful, liberating and peaceful.

I was more mature and could integrate it into my Being. I realized that the healing I had been searching for my entire life could never be found outside of myself as true healing has to come from within.  I was shown that because we are powerful Beings we can heal ourselves by reconnecting to our souls and thus unleashing the inherent power that is within.

This experience has also allowed me to see and perceive the human energy field, linking    it to health and disease and using this skill to help my clients heal.

I have made it my mission in life to help others awaken to their inner truth to find healing, true happiness and a deep connection with their soul. I would love for you to join me on this amazing adventure.

Dr. Dyer’s works continue to inspire the realizations of greatest truths in our lives.

To have been a single human and  have the natural understanding plus devoted studies      to the “human experience” and share on such an International plane, must have give him great intangible rewards – understanding that soul is Energy, and Energy is eternal.

.

I often think about the positive boosts his soul energy still receives from those of us     whom listen and continue to receive the abundance of great hope, encouragement, and soul rewarding achievements. A true visual of the cycle of energy movements possible from our thoughts and with goodness.  Imagine the greater good we can influence upon our world!!!

Thank you Dr.Dyer for sharing your knowledge & awareness. May your spirit still be evolving…RIP

We Are All Creators of This Reality! We have forgotten the divinity that is inside all of us. We are able of achieving miracles but our educational system teaches that matter is the highest there is, however we know better know don’t we? Everything is energy, every emotion or situation is purely energy,  we don’t have senses to sense emotions, but what we do sense is energy.  Ancient civilizations were very well aware of this, and they were master in harnessing and directing energy to they’re will.  We must reclaim this knowledge.  We are not the victims of this reality, we are the creators of it.

We must remember that nature’s natural state is abundance!  When something is lacking in the natural world the eco-system will be out of balance and will not thrive but try to survive.  This is humanity right now,  we are not really living   we are merely surviving. Regain your ancient power and be in charge of your experience here on the physical plane.  http://www.holistic-mindbody-healing.com/mind-healing.html

 Many people know that there is truth to behind the theory that thoughts and emotions affect the physical body,  but not many know exactly how it works, or more importantly, how to use this knowledge to affect physical healing.Dina’s story is her raw, real experience which takes readers from the hell of suicidal depression and addiction where  she started, through how out of sheer desperation- she developed the 3×3 meditation technique which has been the key to her physical, mental and emotional healing.

.

The book gives readers concrete steps on how they can use her 3×3 technique to get results in their own lives. Taking   just 9 minutes per day, Dina’s 3×3 meditation has enabled her healing from alcohol and food addiction, regulating high blood sugar and cholesterol, weight loss and even relationships with others. The key is not to be spending hours on end in meditation or visualization practice, but to engage multiple times per day in shorter bursts to consistently interrupt old thought patterns and negative thinking.

What is the feeling that you are feeling. Find the deep rooted question, to receive the             deep rooted answer.  You have just one feeling to heal, but its clouded with many words. How great would it feel to be healed. The soul wants you to go back to being a child, here  is where your pain has been sitting,  this is why the souls journey is a backward journey. Once you go back and heal, you can then start to walk forwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0Tewtjir4

10 Reasons To Believe In Yourself —

(Even If No One Else Around You Does)

By Rania Naim, June 29th 2016

1. You know what you are capable of doing. There’s a voice inside you that tells     you that you can do something even if it’s frightening and even if it’s impossible. That voice is usually right and you should trust it.

2. You can easily weed out people’s unwanted opinions. There will always be people bringing you down or telling you that what you want to accomplish is easier said than done, when you believe in yourself, you can easily ignore their words and focus on getting what you want.

3. You only learn when you follow your own judgment.  Whether it was wrong     or right, that’s the only way to learn, when you keep trusting yourself and your judgment, eventually you will get it right without having to question yourself.

4. It makes you stronger. When you believe in yourself, you know how to get through difficult situations and you know how to keep going without breaking down.

5. All the greatest leaders are. The greatest leaders, athletes, singers, and actors         all had one thing in common; they believed in themselves and they never gave up when they were faced with rejection or setbacks. Their self-belief kept them going no matter   how hard things were.

6. You become your own source of motivation. You motivate yourself to do things instead of waiting for someone to push you and you find ways to encourage yourself when no one else is supporting you.

7. You’re more willing to try new things. Believing in yourself gives you power          to take risks or try different things that people full of doubt won’t do. This widens the realm of opportunities and adventures in life and makes your life a lot more exciting.

8. It makes you unafraid of change. You’re not afraid to change your life or turn   your world upside down, you know that you will survive under any circumstances and    you know you have the strength to adapt to difficult situations.

9. You build better relationships. If you don’t trust or believe in yourself, people can’t either. Believing in yourself allows you to build deeper and more meaningful relationships, and not ones based on insecurity or fear. Believing in yourself also helps you set limits with people who could overstep their boundaries and disturb your peace.

10. No one else will. People may tell you they believe in you but they will never do it for you, you’re the only who is capable of holding your own hand…. in the journey of your life, people come and go but you will always have yourself, so you must find a way to believe in it and have unwavering faith that you can become whoever you want to be.

   ^When I  first started my research I wanted  to  slay this bastard^

I had many people are Facebook ask me to put an about me link “top tag” post at the top of this personal blog to inform the visitants about what got me to where I am today. I always felt this blog wasn’t about me, it’s free access to those that are in need 0f  information and inspiration to become labeled “cancer free.”  MY Story started March 2006 when I lost my father to Leiomyosarcoma, and my father always felt that what was needed in this world. Was an avenue to walk with all the answers for cancer. 

.

So cancer patient could better be informed through awareness of the options available. My father always thought ….that doctors only knew was the information gather at the hospital they worked and never compared notes with the institutions around them and that many didn’t even now that. And the only thing they knew in most cases was the information that the patient knew themselves.

Lisa’s Story

Posted onDecember 15, 2017by Ken

 

Lisa Engelke is a young, devoted wife and mother of two young children. She is also a Stage IV Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer Survivor with no chemotherapy, radiation or hormonal drug treatments.

As a Middle School student Lisa was enrolled into the independent study program at the National Cancer Institute at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, intending to find the cure for Cancer before it took anymore of her family members.

After facing 30 years of living in toxic environments, unexplainable illnesses and two very challenging pregnancies and deliveries, she began hitting a brick wall with conventional medicine, always suffering side-effects and poor results. Although conventional medicine and intervention had saved her life multiple times, it was clear that the overuse of not just conventional medicine, but the conventional lifestyle that she had been living was causing her more harm than good.

This is when she began her in-depth research of natural & ancient medicines, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Energy Medicine. She applied them to herself and her children who started to reflect the same symptoms she suffered with as a child.

Hello. I’m honored to be here tonight and share with you the hope I’ve been given in the face of cancer. At this very moment, I am fighting cancer.
Three years ago, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I was 35 years old, married to my husband, Ken, and our girls Sam and Layla, were 5 and 3. The news was devastating. It was also baffling. Breast cancer doesn’t run in my family. And, I was on a health kick and feeling my best when the tumor showed up.
Now, “Triple Negative breast cancer” sounds bad, and it is. It is more aggressive in women under 40 and is more difficult to treat than other types of breast cancer. In fact, out of all breast cancers, mine has the lowest 5-year survival rate, of only 14%. To top that off, my first oncologist informed me that conventional cancer treatments would “guarantee a second cancer.”
Seven surgeries and three years later, I’m here tonight to celebrate the light that Believe Big has brought into our lives.
Believe Big has been steadfast, never giving up on me and giving me plenty of practical help.
They awarded me a wellness grant for IV mistletoe therapy, a house cleaning coupon, a treasured book at Christmastime, and my “fav” a Believe Big mug with the I Will Have No Fear prayer card. I see and read it EVERYDAY, multiple times a day. I use my mug first thing in the morning and last thing before bed to remind me of the gift of hope when I am feeling my worst.
I receive amazing support and information from Believe Big at no cost. Believe Big told me about mistletoe, directed me to a physician who could prescribe it, and connected me to a health center with an integrative approach to treat my individual “terrain”.
To this day, I refer to the Believe Big website almost weekly.
The “first steps” section was like gold to me when I was newly-diagnosed, emotional and needed someone to tell me what to do next.
The website’s comprehensive list of mistletoe doctors state by state is invaluable, along with healthy recipes, ways to navigate safer foods and products, and other tools that launched me into my research journey.
I now have a retreat-like in-home studio for the non-toxic therapies that elevate my health and well-being. My individualized diet and supplements, light exercise, juicing, meditation, on-going mistletoe therapy, and Acupuncture all started with my call to Believe Big. I “Believe Big” and maintain a positive attitude every day. I’ve followed this protocol without conventional treatments and it is working. I stand here today not in full remission, but full of hope.
Soon after my diagnosis, I attended the Believe Big Dinner and heard inspiring stories of how to integrate treatments, giving me a big dose of confidence that I could do it, too. I am doing it!
Believe Big teaches how to live with cancer. Believe Big teaches us how to THRIVE with cancer. That’s what I am doing here. I don’t want to die from cancer. I want to live with cancer.
I’m convinced that telling our stories is truly a cathartic part of the healing process. Thank you Believe Big for this night and for the opportunity to speak and to fulfill my purpose, my dream….to be a Hope Giver like you. Lisa Engelke

IT Will Never Be The Same

It Won’t Ever Be The Same

By Jeremy Bradley CBS News October 14, 2015, 5:00 AM

After breast cancer, “I won’t ever be the same. And that’s OK.”

She thought about potato chips. During the hardest parts of her 15-day, 467-mile run — Davina McNaney thought about potato chips. She also daydreamed about taking epsom salt baths and hugging her two young daughters at the finish line. And she thought about the day more than three years before, when she found out she had breast cancer.

McNaney was at home with her younger daughter when the phone rang in October      2012. She had gotten her first mammogram just a few weeks earlier. The doctors asked  her to come back for a second mammogram and biopsy.  McNaney didn’t think much of    it.  Although some members of her extended family had breast cancer,  Davina’s mother and grandmother did not.  Plus, she was also feeling fine and in great shape — she’d just completed a 40-mile race on her 40th birthday. But the nurse on the other end of the line explained McNaney’s biopsy showed DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ— the presence of abnormal cells inside the milk duct in the breast.

From Hell to Inspired

  Another goal has been reached!

It is such a sweet feeling to be able to climb your way to the top, when you were not even supposed to be able to walk on your own too feet!  People were looking at me like I was a bit off, and I am! I walked the whole way to the top barefoot! Obviously far from “normal”. Now they have something to talk about.  A few people asked me why  and I told them that it was healing and regenerating, and they sounded intrigued. Next time who knows?          A new trend might be on its way!

3 years ago I had to use a wheelchair to move more than 10 feet to go anywhere.  I spent several years in bed,  being  wheeled  around  from  the  car  to  my room,  when I was well enough to be carried on to a plain. I broke that spell by traveling to Florida by myself, now camping alone in the wild, and today,  stretching even more.  Reaching higher and higher. The body has no limit. I am growing younger.  More on that later ladies.  Being  51  is  the new 30 for me!

Unsinkable Determination

In 1996, swimmerAmy Van Dyken was preparing to compete in her first Olympic Games. Though fiercely competitive by nature, she wasn’t expected to emerge as an olympic star — while, becoming the first U.S. woman to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.  In the 2000 Games, Van Dyken added two more golds to her collection. She was dominating her sport.

Then, in June 2014, Van Dyken’s spirited nature and active lifestyle were tested when a near-fatal ATV accident left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Theresa DiNallo

Posted onSeptember 4, 2016by Ken

 When  Theresa DiNallo  was  diagnosed  with  breast  cancer,  her  world  was  turned         upside down.  Like most women who are diagnosed with the deadly illness,  life changes drastically.  According to BreastCancer.org,  12% of all women will develop breast cancer.  246,660 new cases are expected this year alone. Breast cancer is serious business to those diagnosed with it as well as a profitable business to pharmaceutical companies.

“After completing a mammogram, they called me and put it very delicately, saying they think there is a mass in a certain area,” DiNallo told news-herald.com. “That’s when            I immediately got scared and I remember being petrified the whole time.”Theresa was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma.

Theresa was immediately confronted with all the generic options, such as chemotherapy, she,  however,  chose to be more forward-thinking and started investigating.  One of her first findings was that poor nutrition  and  alcohol use highly increased cancer risks.  She also  noted  that fat-free,  sugar-free  and  low-fat diet items  were  laden  with  dangerous chemicals. Of course, the medical world gave her the “there is no definite cause” company line.

Have Peace Within Yourself

Kris wondered if her cancer was incurable, was she still healthy if she changed what she was doing in the past. And if so, just maybe. Within her mind, body and spirit that could keep the disease in check. Therefore, Kris made a major life forming commitment to a better understanding of living life.

 She made a total upgrade inside ~ out about her past life. Kris since has learned how to listen to her brilliantinnervoice that guides her. Which brought her back to church, nature (the people and animals that set her heart a blaze and with “organic gardening. ” Kris learnt that a nutrient-dense, plant-based diet rules. Kris also learned the Standard American Diet is sad and kills, stress sucks ( vital life force ),  exercise is non-negotiable, joy is utterly contagious and having fun must be taken seriously.  Preview YouTube video Crazy Sexy Cancer

   A person I talked to most recently through the world wide web is Lene Maria Søndermølle Steffensen Maria.  Whom  is  a  five  year  dedicated  cancer  survivor  of  Neuroendocrine  Carcinoid  which is the same type  Steve Jobs had.  What Lene Maria  does…. is  look at other people’s lives       as Nearly Fat, Sick & Dead  and  the reason  I included  her story,  she is  breathing testament of  Solitarius with a winning attitude.

Hello this is Mallory Davenport and I just had my 30th Birthday June 18 and times always haven’t been this happy for me.  I would like to brief you “why this blog has come about.”In Sept. 2011, I was diagnosed with stage ll Hodgkins Lymphoma at the age    of 25.

I had just gotten married that April to my best friend and soul mate.   

AND My job as an independent insurance adjuster  was going great,  I was making good money and traveling the U.S. SO Getting diagnosed with cancer was like being blindsided by a truck.

   I decided to do chemo in Fort Worth where I had my house at the time, since Jack and I hadn’t been married that long  and  we worked on the road,  I hadn’t officially moved into his house…. in Daphne, Al.   So I started chemo in Fort Worth,  Texas in November 2011, the standard treatment for Hodgkins Lymphoma (ABVD).  SO This  is how my experience  began:  While arriving at my first chemo not knowing what in the world was going to happen to me.

Study: Mistletoe Effective Against Colon Cancer

Mistletoe gives the kiss of death to cancer

In a new study, Zahra Lotfallani, a researcher at University of Adelaide in Australia,
(that’s her in the pic) found that one type of Mistletoe extract called Fraxini, when compared to chemotherapy, was more effective against colon cancer cells and less toxic.

“Mistletoe extract has been considered a viable alternative therapy overseas for many years, but it’s important for us to understand the science behind it,”says one of              Ms Lotfollahi’s supervisors, the University of Adelaide’s Professor Gordon Howarth,   and a Cancer Coach.

“Dear Cancer, it’s taken me a lot longer than I would have liked but finally I’ve got rid  of  you.  It’s been a bit of  a roller coaster ride  and at one point     I thought you’d beaten me but winners never quit  and  I’ve whipped your arse. Goodbye, good riddance and don’t come back.”

     Hi you all, just wanted to share with you my good news.  In July 2013,        I was diagnosed with stage 4a cervical cancer. I followed the conventional treatment route because I didn’t really know I had any other choice.  To be fair it served me well but never fully gave me the all clear.  It culminated in October 2014,  when they told me …. it had come back in para-aortic lymph nodes with increased activity in the cervix and they could only further offer palliative care. 

 * I remember Jassy well from out of the blue on Facebook telling us… our group helped her overcome the obstacles in the United Kingdom.
