It has come to my attention that my posts, especially my reply to george on this page, where offensive and rude.
To George, I am deeply sorry, I meant no offense what so ever. What I said I said in love. If you can believe that... The internet makes it hard to get those feelings across, especially when what you are writing is meant to correct and educate. Its a little easier when we all speak the same language as with scripture but in medicine and all the science involved, its hard, its like i'm speaking another language that even I don't know how to communicate at times.
This is why I was hesitant to join this discussion. It appears I should not participate in these discussions regarding disease, health, nutrition, medicine, vaccines, etc... any longer. I have not figured out a way to communicate what I've learned without it either sounding alien or come off as condescending and arrogant.
Again, George, you know my heart is filled with a deep sincere love for you and I'm so sorry if I hurt you. I am ashamed if that is the case. I can see in my own post where my words may have wounded and I should have been softer, slower, more compassionate, or simply said nothing at all. I think I tried to say too much in one post that could have been broken down into smaller, nicer, slower pieces.
I am making this apology public to anyone else who felt offended by my post. I am sorry to you as well. Know that I care and love you all and my intention was never to wound. I regret how I responded. I just don't know how to deal with the misinformation and the disparity of knowledge that exists in regards to these subjects and the various levels of understanding that everyday folks acquire from their own studies. As you can see I have wrestled with this issue before. I see similar discussions on my facebook page all the time between friends but I stay out of it. I should have done likewise here. I'm still learning.. i'll figure this out God willing. Worst comes to worst i'll just stay out of these discussions. If you ever need my opinion, it'll be there for you.
Sincerely,
Alex

There is no need to apologise, as I know fully aware that what you provided was out of love.
I know that you were very careful in what you wrote.
I have not had a chance to fully digest what you said - but I will.
Thank you for your support and concern.
I always appreciate your input and posts.
Kind Regards.

For the record, I have no idea who said what to Alex privately to make him feel that a huge apology was necessary, and I had no part in it. I was simply commenting that I appreciate it when people apologize if they feel they have made a mistake. It's something that I really value and strive to do myself. And again I say, it shows maturity when we can do this.
James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

George, I am relieved that you were not offended or hurt by my post. It puts my heart at ease. The last thing I want is to hurt anyone, especially with my understanding. Knowledge should not be a weapon to hurt others. There is enough suffering and pain in this world as we all walk through our experience of evil. All I have, I have received from God. My walk in life may be different than yours but it doesn't change who I am. I am nothing more than your brother in Christ first and always.
I have received much good advice from everyone on how to proceed in this matter. I see that many people value my opinion from the knowledge that God has seen fit I should receive from these earthly and worldy instructors.
I am grateful that you all are understanding and patient and willing to hear me out though I am but one voice in a sea of confusion and deception when it comes to all things health and science related.
If I speak something that is contrary to what you learned in your personal studies on these subjects know that it is not "big pharma" or "GMO" talking to you but your brother in Christ. By the grace of our Lord, I strive to be a physician first to the family and household of God, and then to his future children--I serve no one but the Lord Jesus Christ.
Medicine, health, disease, is such a personal topic. It brings many of us feelings of refreshing but also much sorrow and pain. It is only human to want to understand this monstrosity of a subject in all its complexity and to control it. Fortunately, we of all know that, the one who is in control is God Almighty and not us. None of us can stay the hand of death or disease. Knowledge cannot save and as the saying goes, "Physician, heal thyself." Even if someone knew it all, even if they were right, they will still die unless God Almighty make His appearing again soon. So rest in Him. Find health where you can. Much health is found in peace and joy in God. Perhaps the most important health is found in Him. The health of a peaceful and restful spirit. Our bodies will perish. As paul said, "even though outward man perish, inwardly we are renewed daily."
I pray everyday for His appearing. Sometimes, I weep and beg for His appearing because I am so tired of this world and all its suffering. Not simply for my own suffering but for the creations. I see how awful humanity is to itself. I see how awful disease and suffering is around the world. Sometimes tears are the only thing i can find in the face of such pain and suffering. Despite everything I know and have been given.
God bless,
Alex

Praying that answers will come and health will be restored if God wills it. I've never 'heard' you so rattled. I'm sorry - I know it's hard.

Rattled? I do not think so Rose. I have emotions but being rattled is not is not something I do. Maybe the closest to rattling I recall is about 30 years ago my wife telling me about her affair. Then the worse was losing my two sons in the divorce. I considered shooting her, her lover, her lawyer, the judge, and my lawyer, and taking my two sons with me to the wild country. But it was about 100 years too late for that much fun so I decided to stay unrattled and be civilized.
The main reason I do not get rattled is because I worship the One True God, the Power behind all things. He is always with me. We are always in contact. He always answers my prayers because I only pray the one prayer He ever answers; Father, your will be done. Works every time.
When I stand on the sands of the sea, and look behind me, I see where He has blessed me and protected me and has guided me in all things.

Hi Alex,
You asked about my mom. The last three days she has been in the hospital. Yesterday, she was near death. The doctors could not rouse her. The doctors and specialists gave her every type of test they could think of. All the tests came back negative. They could not determine the underlying cause of her problems.
The good news is today she is coming back to her old self and showing great recovery. My sister and I are taking turns being with her. The doctors determined she had a TIA or mini-stroke. The effects seem to be short term.
Better you than me becoming a doctor. I hate hospitals and being around sick people. Jesus had the best idea. Heal everybody. Thanks for asking about my mom.
John
