In His Image, Take Two

Forgive me if my first post on this was a bit jumbled. I talked about being angry then just jumped over to the fact that my husband is ill. Gosh… Amazing how much can transpire in such little time. From here on I shall slow down a bit to help you fine folks get caught up. I titled this section “In His Image” to focus on the facts of God’s design. No, not opinions, as they are often played down. Observable, documented facts. So, In His Image, Take Two is going to be more in line with the title 😉 Thanx for bearing with me. Ready? Let’s join hands here as we take a dive into His Image, shall we?

“…and in His image He created them….”

God not only created us in His magnificent image, all things He created for our benefit. Literally everything. And let us not forget, at the end of each Creation day He declared it “was good.” Since we are diving more into healing in these posts, let us also be mindful of the fact that disease, any illness, malfunction, etc…. All of that came in with the fall, only because in that, sin entered the world. Thus, the need for medicinal options. Personally, I will always believe that what God created are the only good things. What He created did not stop being “good” after sin entered the world through man’s choice. So, doesn’t it make sense to use it?

I am not going to linger there for long because this is not intended to instigate an endless debate on conventional medicine vs traditional (“traditional” meaning throughout centuries the traditions of natural medicines were passed down generation to generation). All I will say here is that we are each free to choose what treatments we each prefer and we all have the right to be fully informed of the TRUTH of all available treatments. On that note, I will defer to my other blog, Uncommon Knowledge. Here, I desire more to share how we got here, what we chose and how that is going, with regular updates. For my purpose here is to help inspire others to look way beyond what we are told all our lives. My purposes here are to provide an example of hope, not argue.

After all that, I’m sure you can guess where I’m going. Yup. My husband and I agree the natural, traditional means of medicine are most appropriate for his healing. This already has not been sitting well with lots of folks around us. Hopefully they too will check in here and maybe gain a better understanding. We truly believe that the LORD our God, Who created us in His image and created for us all we need, is going to blow some minds along this way.

So, let’s back up a bit

Once again, I am getting ahead too far before addressing the obvious. How did we get here? How does a man that for over two decades of being careful (for the most part) of what he consumes, stays active and in shape… How does he get cancer? As I move forward on this point, I need to say I have no medical background, but Jamie does. My experiences and observations, along with the fact that I am such a nerd, is where my opinions are drawn. So, please let no one ruin this venture by claiming I am giving some medical advice, etc. If you chose to accept our opinions and utilize similar things we are doing, it is your choice to freely do so.

Anyway… Now that that’s out of the way. No more apologetic dancing around here while I share with you what we have learned. Please also note that I share these things with my husband’s full knowledge and approval. He, too, believes this could help others.

To recap, we have a guy that for his entire life worked out at least three days a week, was active in sports and never did drugs, no medications, etc, etc. He had none of the precursors that doctors normally look for in cancer patients. None. So, what happened?

The only relevant history of Jamie’s was a couple times he had kidney stones removed. Once in his late twenties, once in his early forties. That’s it. Let’s fast forward to a few years ago. You know… when all the lock downs and scamdemic (C19) was being forced upon the world. Around that time he had minor issues with urine flow, which he attributed to merely an enlarged prostate issue. The vast majority of folks are programmed to easily accept “issues of getting older.” Again, I’m trying to refrain from chasing that rabbit, too! Ug!

Refocus to the topic at hand…

Since it was so minor he blew it off. Come this year (2024) things eventually got backed up a little more than is safe. Prior to the late fall of 2021 Jamie never got so much as a cold. The only thing he endured was his nose would run clear when he was outside in the cold. That’s it. We have been together for eight years now and the man, I am telling you, NEVER got sick. Never, until that hyper-modified flu was going around. This is a man that never takes a day off work, but right before Thanksgiving that year he most certainly did. He was that sick, and has not been the same since.

I believe it is not unreasonable to see that not taking action on the elimination issue, however minor, created an environment in his body susceptible to illness and disease. It makes sense when you consider that toxins built up in his system, since his normal body functions did not eliminate them efficiently. In fact, over the course of the next few months he was up and down with “flu-like symptoms”, though again more minor. During that time he had lots of contact with people that chose to receive that awful, deceptive shot (C19 vax). There is much evidence and research that shows folks who got that shot shed elements that are detrimental to others. In fact, all shots shed, as decades of research support. But this one is mighty nasty in comparison. So, with a weakened immune system, if even slight, he was being shed upon with God-knows-what.

And, folks, please do not post any arguments here. Do some research–and I mean beyond the mainstream–until I gather some and post at my sister site. Here on this blog series I am just presenting the facts as we know them, to help you see what is going on and how we are handling it. Prayers and encouragement is all I will allow in response to this blog.

Last year, early summer 2023, I noticed a lymph node in Jamie’s neck a bit more than should be noticed. It got big and then little again over the next many months. At the turn of the year (into 2024) it did not get little anymore. After it grew to about the size of a small grape it bothered him enough to go to a doctor again. That doc referred him to an ENT this past February (2024). I will spell out more about those visits to the ENT (Ear Nose Throat specialist) on my other blog, but here is where the cancer issue in his neck was first noted.

Of course, they did a CT, a biopsy, and referrals to a radiologist and oncologist. We did all that. The oncologist drew a lot of blood and did extensive testing. She called him that day and told him to go to the ER because his creatinine levels were way too high. Back to the kidney issue.

Of course, Mr. Stubborn Bones insisted we wait until after the PET scan, which could not be accomplished if he went to the ER. He wanted the PET scan to see if the cancer was anywhere else in his body. Thank God, it was not. It is only in his neck, growing inward to the base of his tongue.

The oncologist called him on a Friday to urge him to the ER. The PET scan was on the following Monday. The following Thursday was his first appointment with a naturopath who specializes in treating cancer. At that first appointment, after she got a look at his blood work results, she also insisted he go immediately to the ER and postponed this appointment for cancer treatments. And we went to the ER that day.

That was April 25th, 2024.

Why a naturopath?

Dr. Cseak, DO, is the only homeopath that treats cancer (that I am aware of) in the area of Ohio where we live. Many years ago she treated my mother. Long story short there, my mom had an inoperable tumor growing from cells left behind after the docs removed part of her colon years before due to cancer. She took none of the conventional treatments and was “stage 4 lymphoma” for several years in between. Once she began treatment with Dr. Cseak (pronounced “seek”) that tumor not only stopped growing, it began to shrink. Had my mother not been bombarded with my sibling’s bullshit selfishness, she would have been able to stay the course and likely would have beat it. But, his nagging at her caused her stress. She began to forget and skip doses of her treatment, stopped taking her daily walks, etc. That tumor then grew out of control.

That is just one example. Natural treatments for cancer, among other things, has been victoriously used for centuries. This particular treatment, mistletoe, is used successfully in Europe and has been for about 100 years. Please check out BelieveBig.org for more information on the progress of integrating mistletoe into mainstream healthcare.

Homeopathy is another of Dr. Cseak’s specialties. This is used alongside the cancer treatments, for naturopaths consider and treat the whole person…as opposed to chopping them up in bits and chunks with a separate specialist for each part.

After meeting with the radiologist and oncologist, we decided to go the natural route. Often, mistletoe is used in conjunction with the conventional means (chemo, radiation). But Jamie wants to first try just the natural route. I applaud his bravery, especially in the face of scrutiny and all he is dealing with, and support him fully. We are in this together.

Where from here?

Since his kidney issue, along with low hemoglobin/iron, is more pressing at this time, things have become quite tedious. Here again, I’ll expand on this point more on my other blog, but all the docs have done for his kidney and hemoglobin issues have done more to set him back than has helped. To put it mildly.

For instance, why give a man who has serious kidney problems chemicals like “flomax”–which can cause, among many things, kidney problems? Why give it to him after inserting a catheter that will be there for some time? Do they not know that stuff like stinging nettle helps tremendously with these same issues? Without the side effects! Another thing… The iron supplement prescribed and given at the hospital… Oh my. Look up how that stuff is made. Look up the side effects from it. Again, WHY give it to a guy who already has freakin kidney issues?? …and there is so much more to say here.

So, other than the catheter to get him eliminating efficiently, they have done nothing to actually help him. Only made him worse. After the first couple days of the “flomax” he began having tremors, which he never experienced before. About a week into taking their form of iron, not only did his levels not improve, but the horrible, constant headaches he got were unbearable, along with awful belly cramps and diarrhea. You should have seen the looks on the doc’s faces when we told them he stopped taking that stuff.

For now…

We’re already at over 2k words here, so I think I’ll let your eyes and mind rest a bit for now. Let me just leave you with this: PLEASE folks, pay close attention to the functions of your body. God designed mechanisms to let you know when something is awry soon enough to take care of it before it gets this bad. Learn those signs and take care of yourself. There are folks that love you and depend on you to do so.

Take care & God bless you all. {Donation link deleted 12/9/2024.}
