I posted this here too...it was posted under Healthy eating under the scriptures
in responce to Brenda's comment.
Some people may not read it there and I wanted to add to this link so people can read it.
I have avoided commenting on this topic. I have not called Ray to talk to him. I know that this is a very emotional time for him and that he is dealing with many many issues. He needs a lttle time to accclimate to this pronoucement.
Brenda I think your post was excellent, Coming from you is bettter that it came efrom me. I agree now is the time for spiritual discenment and lets put all carnal aside.
I think Ray going to this naturapath is very Good. I have talked to Ray many time in the past and he does not always like to listen to advise. Because he has read some , he thinks he knows "all" I think God has his attention now.
First his diabetes is way out of control. RAY thinks he is eating good, but he is not. He is trying to eat the foods that are in this food toxic environment. His surgars are all over the place. How can he even think of working against this prostrate cancer in this state of being. He needs to lose weight too, this will help his blood pressure. He has to learn to eat a lot better. If God made it , eat it in moderation, if man has tinkered with...avoid when possible.
My only fear that the nathurpath will be too agressive with physical therapy, I am afraid for the bone fractures. He has putty where there should be bone right now. Pain will then enter in the equation.
Here in Nashville we think we found two open studies at vanderbilt both are for metaststatic prostrate cancer. he will get his medications free.
I most heartedly agree that he needs to take the Lupron. I do not understand why Ray thinks he is 'signing his death cetificate' (pray those words be removed from his mouth) All things are possible for God. Ray can do nothing in hiself...not even change a gray hair.
I give Lupron to health women (for endomriosis not responsive, it is give before surgery to decrease the implants) It is not chemotherapy is the true sence. It work on the brain to shut off FSH and LH. By doing this all hormones stop including the testosterone which is feeding these prsostrate cells. These cell are like unruly teenages , consuming and moving all over the place and taking over. IT is time to dicipline the lawlessness of these rowdy cells
Lupron's worse side effect is ( like going into menopause) some of the ladies know this...hot flashes night sweats, insomnia and irritability probably for lack of sleep.
MY concern with the naturapth will be that he will probbly use SOY, which is good, but it may exaggerate and cause gyneasta (breast enlargemnt) . My hope is that a good diet will give him needed oxidants and vitamins, he is probably deplet of many despite taking some oral supplement. The goal is to keep him from becoming cachectic (emaciated) his body has very little nourishment within its being.
God has given this condition to Ray with purpose and for good. God's will must be done at this time. It is all Ray's decision in the end of all discussion as to how he will deal with this...choices.
(Psa 85:10)
Mercy and Tuth are met together;
Righteousness and Pace have kissed each other.
God the father has given us the Law and Jesus has given us the Mercy, both of these must be in balance in order for any event to give God the Glory.
In the meantime all the prayers from our members will be like a sweet smelling scent because we know God is soverign and pray in this manner.
Beloved
WE have a place for Ray to stay here in the area and he might only have to come once a month after the initial evaulation and first treatment. I am trying to get more information about the two trials
One is comparing a new trug to traditional
The other is comparing another drug used for proratrate with tradtional
I will pray that if Ray agrees to do this that God will place in the apporpriate program.
