All Glory to GOD!

I write this latest blog entry with my heart overflowing with thanksgiving to our LORD!

After 6 cycles of intrevenous chemo and 3 months of oral chemo, Ernie's latest CT scan results show continuous regression in the size of his multiple tumors. Some sub-centimeter nodules are unchanged and there are NO new nodules/tumors developing!  Moreover his MRI test done last Friday also showed regression in the bone metastesis lessions and NO new lessions! ( 3 months ago there was progression in the bone)! Ultra sound of the liver showed normal results too! Truly GOD's favor is upon us! Thank you all for your PRAYERS!

Although to many this may seem like an expected step in the treatment of cancer, this, for us, is a great VICTORY already!

Our goal now :

1. Consult with Dr Charity on Wed on what the next treatment step is - as she told us in the beginning of treatment last July 2011, she will work to kill the cancer or put it to sleep with conventional treatment (Chemo).

2. Continue Ernie's strict regimen of organic Nutrilite supplements (plus more), enzymes, detox w oral spray chelation n coffee enemas, radical diet change etc etc. I have learned that all these work in synergy and has an effect to enhance chemo making it more toxic to cancer at the same time protecting good cells. Some plant phytonutrients (taken properly) actually have chemo effects! Many boost the body's natural killer cells and strengthen the immune system to attack cancer. Truly GOD has put in plants all that we need to stay healthy!

3. After we have destroyed the cancer (or made it sleep so it does not invade new cells), together with our integrative mds, we will enhance and continue our natural approach regimen, hourly, daily, deliberately, like his whole life depended on it! 

4. Ernie's attitude continues to soar ever high! He knows he can beat this battle, and he is lifting me more than I can lift myself. He is truly my hero! He lifts everyone around him with his indomitable spirit. This is another plus factor on our side.

As long as cancer is kept at bay, (even if it remains in ones body) - a person can live a full and normal life.

5. Our most powerful weapon - PRAYER and the loving healing grace of our GOD!
All Glory and Praise to you o GOD!

Storm the Heavens with Prayers

3 months of oral chemo is over and once again Ernie experienced no side effects except for skin roughness (expected side effects of the drug iressa). By friday, March 30, Ernie will have 3 exams - ctscan of the chest and lungs, mri of the pelvic bone and ultrasound of the liver, to evaluate the progress of his treatment. In my heart of hearts I am praying fervently that the lung tumors and pelvic bone lessions have disappeared, and that the treatment along with our regimen of organic supplementation, detox, almost vegetarian diet (Ernie still eats fish), juiicing, and other natural strategies have stopped invasion of this dreadful disease into other organs.

Although I have finished reading 3 phenomenal  books on natural strategies against cancer and now on my fourth, still, understanding this "invader" and how it destroys life is such a massive matter to grasp. A cure for cancer has remained elusive. What is hopeful though from what I have read, is that cancer can be treated as a chronic disease just like diabetes. One may never rid cancer from ones body but may contain it so that it does not progress and one can go on with a normal life but with very major changes in lifestyle. What a wonderful thought!!!! That indeed is our goal!

Please storm the heavens with me with prayers for Ernie's wonderful test results!
I believe that Jesus is here with us today, among us, healing us if we believe. Jesus is the same, then, now and forever.Lord, we trust in you! Grant healing to flow in Ernie's body!

"Jesus went around visiting all the towns and villages. He taught in the synagogues, preached the Good News about the Kingdom, and HEALED people with every kind of disease and sickness." Matthew 9:35

Loving Nature

Ernie, Ryan, and I along with Lyca and Alic (baby dachsund pets) travelled 2 hours from Manila to Camayan Beach Resort in Subic Bay for a much needed back to nature overnight. Ernie has been feeling really great and looking great, without a trace of sickness whatsoever. Except for skin rashes, oral chemo Iressa showed no side effects-something we are overflowing with gratitude to the LORD for!

It was wonderful to sleep and wake-up in a cozy room beside the rolling waters of the beach. Watching the sunrise in a beach  has been some of the most memorable moments of my life, obviously because this is something I rarely get to see! But what thrilled us more, and one of the reasons we went in the first place, was to see if dogs, when thrown in deep water, can instinctively swim. There was fear and doubt for our 2 "babies" Lyca and Alic initially. But after a bit of warming up, they amazed us to our delight as they swam (langoy aso) perfectly well!

The dogs stayed overnight in Wildlife In Need WIN, a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. We explored around to see snakes, monkeys, owls, eagles, etc - all being watched with tender loving care with the purpose of being set free again into mainstream nature. What a wonderful break it was!

On Wed next week we booked another overnight at Nuture Spa in Tagaytay - rated one of the top 7 Spas in the whole Philippines. Ernie has become almost addicted to regular massages which he enjoys here at home and so we are looking forward to going back to nature again!!

Ernie will be scheduled for a scan evaluation mid March, to see how he is responding to treatment. I am deep in reading books on natural healing which were highly recommended to me. I am learning soooo much about how nutrition can stop cancer cells from progressing if not killing it altogether. How plants from nature, what GOD gave us in nature, can boost immune system. These books are describing cancer as a chronic disease, much like diabetes. A cancer patient CAN live with cancer and have a normal life, as long as he makes MAJOR lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, attitude and rest. AMAZING BOOKS!!!! We applying what we are learning straightaway to Ernie daily regimen.

ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO GOD!!
