Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (a repost of what I posted a few moments earlier at CureZone) Hi folks -You know, sometimes it gets awfully lonely and the spirits lag a bit when you make very little money, work very long hours days on end and try to keep going even in spite of things like criticism saying that what you are doing is wrong and accusations that you are causing people to turn away from the real medicine that could save their lives and turning them to voodoo medicine and herbs only to line your own pockets (and forget how empty they are!), or that you are a nutcase for all the concerned posts I make at CureZone as DQ the quixotic crusader about the evils you see threatening our health and seeking to take away our freedoms.Even when you know in your heart that you are right, it just gets hard sometimes, you know? And I have to admit that it is a frightening and heartwrenching thing to advise others about their health, and often I stay awake at night worrying how this or that person I advised is faring. I mean who am I, a mere flawed mortal with far less than perfect knowledge after all, to have anyone place their health, and perhaps even their very life in my trust?Then you get a wonderful email like this one (which came today from a member of my Oleandersoup Healthgroup) and your heart sings with joy, your faith in yourself and humanity is restored, as well as in the One who watches over us, and you just want to share it with the world! It goes without saying that this has truly made my Thanksgiving one to find much to be thankful for - and foremost of that is the honor and privilege of doing the best I can to help people like Toya (who wrote the email) and those in my health forums and on the entire Curezone website. "Hi Tony, I just want to say being the sleepy participator that I am.........how much I appreciate this group.... May's heart....Roberts research skills....Jeffery's ability to lay down his life for a friend....Dr.G's reasuring words......not to mention your heart for humanity and "Get"er Done" passion !I really appreciate all of you and have notice a significant size reduction in the lump under my arm and in my breast sense starting OS 3 weeks ago! I am truly blessed by what I read daily and encouraged.....You all are a part of what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving ! Gratefully Yours, Toya"And so my heartfelt reply: Toya, You have made me so happy that I cried. It is messages like yours that make me proud of what I am doing and confirm my conviction that what I am devoting the rest of my life to is a good and honorable endeavor worth however much sacrifice it entails - and help keep me going no matter what. I would also add Ed to your list - it is he who started it all by devising "oleander soup" and he is the one who started the original oleander soup health group. Not only that, but he is a true Prince among men and, like May, one of God's angels flying close to the ground. Your precious words of hope and inspiration will be at the very top of my own Thanksgiving list of things I am thankful for. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart! May I share your message with my groups? Love, "Ahhhhhhh Tony you're wonderful and a gift to us all....

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Greetings from Ivan Konstantin. Happy Thanksgiving to Tony, and all members of OS Group. Some remarks on life... Oleander soup is extremely powerful agent. It works just amazing.Yes there happen cases with too advanced cancer when there are other healing agents needed to help and ensure the healing. But... from what I saw with Alex from California I can conclude: Just the Oleander soup in most cases can be more than enough to heal cancer deceased person. [ I am also sure there was incredible strong God's presence with Alex. Here I must give the credit to God that I must.] Back to thoughts. Greatest problem happen: If it is a pill prescribed by doctor, then patient will take it religiously. Just because it is doctor's prescription, and own money that pay the health insurance... Taking the natural agent (like OS, or other) often is not done on a daily strict basis. Especially if you get the OS cheap, or close for no money at all. Anyone who wants to survive needs to understand that he/she got to make them selves to know as much about the remedies as the person that let them know of the cure. I would say If they are sick they need to think of becoming an expert. Success rate figures by attitude. I have seen in the past so many people who knew something of some natural remedies. But I rarely saw people viewing natural stuff at least just as the "pill" and never forgetting to take the dose. Even more rarely I see people to follow the post remission prophylactic dosage of remedies. This only says: Not right attitude... You are lucky I'd say if you are advising truly smart about things person... You highly likely then to enjoy genuine thank you. And on the opposite its heart wrenching to see lifesaving knowledge ignored. Or even worse,cursed with no reason to it. Life is hard sometimes I'd say, and it is not necessarily made hard by cancer only. But you believe what you believe, that you carry the light right? ONES FAILURE, IF DEEPLY EXAMINED OFTEN IS FOUND TO BE HIS ONLY FAILURE... james madison <jameszeemadison wrote: Thanks Tony, my spirits have been lifted also.Have a blessed THANKSGIVING.Tony > wrote: (a repost of what I posted a few moments earlier at CureZone) Hi folks -You know, sometimes it gets awfully lonely and the spirits lag a bit when you make very little money, work very long hours days on end and try to keep going even in spite of things like criticism saying that what you are doing is wrong and accusations that you are causing people to turn away from the real medicine that could save their lives and turning them to voodoo medicine and herbs only to line your own pockets (and forget how empty they are!), or that you are a nutcase for all the concerned posts I make at CureZone as DQ the quixotic crusader about the evils you see threatening our health and seeking to take away our freedoms.Even when you know in your heart that you are right, it just gets hard sometimes, you know?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hello Tony, I want to say thank you that you are who you are. That you are here with us always on , saying so much needed to be heard. This world would be so much more desperate without people like you. I felt so much more lost in this world when I knew that the only cure against cancers it's just doctors prescription ( I am not omitting God here I know!) But how much more heart warming it feels that there are those carrying the load, of so important knowledge. Tony please never give up WE ALL NEED YOU!!! It's just like when Jesus said "Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing... " Today's world is this way because evil does its deeds. People are programmed into harm. People do not know what they are doing,because the system wrecked their minds they do not find enough willpower to do the right thing. It felt so lonely for Gods people, you know that. And anyone who truly fights the evil is feeling so even today. Tony, truly you are not alone. First God is with you, and then there are so many like you, around you, who all the time need you. I felt before some kind of fear of cancer when I did not know that there is so much more then just doctor's clinic... Now that I know of so many natural agents, I have a hope that this world is not so much of a doom as it is often painted. Tony you did a great deal so that today I know! God bless you on your way, and Happy Thanksgiving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Happy Thanksgiving everybody. We have so much to be thankful for. I want to thank everyone here in the OS group for their participation and bravery in seeking truth in health and for helping others. Thank you, Tony for all your work and the sacrifices that you make. May the Lord return to you 100 fold what you have given and sacrificed. Most of all I want to thank God for Sending his Son (Jesus) as the payment for our sins. He gave the ultimate gift of his perfect life so that we could have everlasting life. Thank God.

I guess it should have been an early clue when I shed tears at Gone With the Wind, Casablanca and An Affair to Remember, and later for Sleepless in Seattle, An Officer and a Gentleman, and even, for goodness sakes, You've Got Mail and Pretty Woman.I also have to confess that for all the evil I see lurking in this world and in the hearts of men, and for all the railing and tilting of Quixote's lance against it, I nevertheless have a greater enduring faith in the goodness of mankind and the Goodness that brought mankind into being.May this message of hope and confirmation serve as my way of wishing each and everyone of you a joyous and wonderful Thanksgiving filled with much to be thankful for, inspite of your own trials and tribulations. Thanks to that message, mine already is!With a humble yet uplifted heart, your sappy host, the eternally hopeless hopeful optimist,Tony"Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense" - Winston Churchill"Do not despair at your tribulations, for they are My glory for you" - Eph 3:13 Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.
