Dear Forum and Elect of God:
Thank you all who have been concerned and praying for my health and well-being. And especially I thank those who have continued to contribute to the financial support of my extensive (and expensive) nutritional protocol. I put off communicating with you sooner hoping that I could give you better news concerning my condition. I have been in considerable pain the past two months due to the matastisizing of the cancer in my bones. I have anywhere from a few to ten or twelve areas of my body that give me pain (neck, shoulders, arms, back, spine, hips, leg bones, jaw, etc.). When one area subsides a little, another area becomes painful. As most of you know my PSA went to 107 last summer (o.o is good, 4 raises concerns for most doctors).
My PSA is now an incredible 740! A primary goal was to get my body from acid to alkaline, as cancer does not survive well in an alkaline environment. Despite numerous tactics to boost the alkalinity of my body, it has not happened, although it is slightly higher than it was. The cancer also causes its own acid condition, and mine is now spread throughout the whole body.
One medical doctor who is both a good friend and a patient of my naturopath, Dr. Jimmy Steger, commented that most men would alread by dead with a PSA of 740, and that Dr. Steger's strick nutritional protocol is the reason I am still alive. Another doctor told me the same. I told several people this week, that God doesn't need a good nutritional plan to heal someone of any disease. What I am doing is a good and needful thing to do, but as you can plainly see, it does not guarantee healing.
Sometimes God takes us all the way into the valley of death before He rescues us: 2Co 1:9 "But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead." As Paul saw things, there was no escape--they were going to die! But after all hope in self was gone, God then rescued Paul.
So don't lose faith! We are to live by faith and not by sight. I have many things I yet wish to teach and write about, but that is all in God's hands now. Stay strong, and keep the faith.
God be with you all,
Ray
