Dear
J
Thanks
for the beautiful card and nice note:
This year has been a bit hectic for Linda and I with my sister
Sharon’s death being the start of a series of losses for us and some
of those around us. Hopefully
this series of sadnesses is coming to an end now, and the death of the son
of our data center and insurance work manager the last tragedy of a tough
winter. The son got a cold on
Monday, bronchitis by Wednesday, pneumonia by Saturday, went to the emergency
room Saturday night with breathing troubles, and died from seizure 6 hours
later. He was only 36 years
old, a truck driver, and in pretty good health, so his Mom, Jan, our data
manager, was in total shock. All
she knew was that her son had a “cold”.
When
his wife called Mom of course it was like a bomb going
off! Man oh man, what a winter
for the average American family.
Apparently the flu can aggravate the heart muscle and central nervous
system in some people leading to heart troubles and/ or
seizures. In this case the seizure
stopped the heart and the hospital staff couldn’t get it started
again.
So
Linda and I both are slugging down Elderberry extract three times daily as
a flu preventative, working away 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. three days a week and 1
to 9 on Tuesdays, and Linda does a pretty good job of keeping up with me
and is my right hand most days for the long haul 12
hours. My data manager does
not follow rigorous natural methods so we worry about her, but my patient
population has weathered through the flu attacks pretty well so
far. Herbals and chiropractic
restoration of nerve energy works well to protect and/or cure if
needed. Recently however the
herbals like elderberry extract have become scarce with one supplier being
totally out of my favorite brand.
The fearful thing is that if everyone knew and practiced natural
healthways there really would not be enough elderberry extract for everyone
to be protected against flu, nor enough apricots or apricots pit meats to
cure cancer, nor enough golden seal, etc. Even organic beef couldn't
supply the WHOLE USA population. I mean it really is pitiful, but due
to necessity only a privileged percentage can be privy to natural healthways,
and the majority of the population have to go totally medical and die screaming
in the night due to some burn,chop,slash, or poison treatment
regimen.
Don’t
get me wrong, medicine is good stuff when it works well, but for too many
things the medical philosophy TODAY simply represents forgotten simple neat
inexpensive cures which have been replaced by modern craziness that costs
an arm and a leg. Look at
cancer. Skin cancer has been cured by a simple weed paste for
centuries by numerous native peoples AND every medical doctor up until
1935. Put the paste on the cancer,
4 days later the cancer is dead and can be plucked out by the
roots. Cost about the same as
a loaf of bread or two. No bleeding,
no spread of small seed cancers, worked
nicely. TODAY dermatologic surgery,
danger of spread, recurrence rates not good especially if the cancer has
reached subdermal deep layers, possible radiation and chemo follow-up
needed. Cost ranges from a used
car to a new home. Sure! Chemo
can run as high as $40,000. per application
session.
So,
the knowledgeable go natural, save money, and stay comfortable and
well. The rest of the people run to medicine for help and give
all they own to pay for treatments which might save
them. Like I said however if everyone went natural over-night
there simply would not be enough to go
around. Oh well there is little
I can do to change things, except treat and teach one patient at a
time. I am very blessed to have
the education, the experience, and 54 ancient books from the 1800’s
as well as internet, personal friends in the natural healing arts, and modern
books for references. Having
wiggled through kidney stones (1981), a heart attack
(1985),
then
prostate, skin sarcoma, and basal cell (19997 – 2005) all pretty much
NATURALLY with no medical chop, burn, poison ministrations I am indeed very
blessed. It does make me sad however that my whole JERSEY family
runs to medicine with open arms. I
am so blessed that Linda is right here with me 100% natural as much as humanly
possible and cooks up good organic food and buys carefully organic and non
altered stuffs while carefully reading labels.
Linda is a true blue natural health warrior devoted to
natural health through chiropractic and alternative therapies and organic
living foods.
I
could go on and on about things like antifreeze (polyethylene glycol) in
gel caps (which are supposed to be medicine to HELP you get well!) and etc.
but I’ll spare you the stress.
I’ll send you a copy of my book where I lay it out step by step
HOW I BEAT three types of CANCER personally through natural
methods. Now the exact methods
may not be universally applicable to everyone, but I think the story is worth
reading since it shows that IT CAN BE
DONE! Some of the big challenges
of today like MS, LUPUS, CANCER, ARTHRITIS were easy in the 1800’s using
natural medicinal herbals. Some
of the things we consider easy today like strept throat were deadly back
then. If we could only put the
old and the new together, if only medicine would remember its own
history.
All
is going well here. Linda just
got a new car which is very nice, walnut interior, power everything, computerized
traction etc. etc. so the Winter seems less
threatening. I inherited her
old car which also had walnut interior, power everything, computerized traction
etc. etc., but some high miles. So my little speedster got put into storage for the winter
along with my three motorcycles and a new little fun Honda Spree dinky thing
I bought this past summer. I
was intrigued by the spree since it claimed to get 125 miles per
gallon. It was a lark, but does
indeed get 125 miles per gallon. I
will never get used to “thinking cars”, but they do make life
easier.
Hope
you and Ben are well and healthy.
I assume Eddie and Wayne are both doing well since the two of them
always seem to be doing well. Boys
to be proud of. Books are available
through the “hayfieldshopper.com” web site or call me if you’d
like the boys to have copies. I
do not have their addresses since I left for Minnesota 30 years ago my sister
(like my mother) would not release the address lists for reasons I never
understood? It was just a bit
of an oddity, this refusal to let the Mid Westerners write each other by
never releasing address lists. Cousin Skippy in Arizona and Cousin Georgie (in up state
new York?) probably wonder if I am still alive, like I wonder how they are
doing.
Sincerely;
Cousin Dr. John
