Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Tony and , you are moving way too fast for me, LOL. Just carefully reading and responding to this list, and other email correspondence takes Hours. Your extensive sites and community look wonderful, but I need to let life settle down before I log onto them extensively. Thanks all for your condolences. I love Harry with all my heart, and it tore me up to see him so ill, and then dying. The black whirlpool of grief is lifting, but he will always be close in my heart. There's a domino effect of major life changes that comes along at the same time, so I'm moving as fast as I can, just to stay in place. One effect was that when I lost the stability of my cancer, and told the Budwig Group, I was blamed for being stressed by it! Sheesh! The very diagnosis of cancer is surely one of the most stressful events in life. The moderator of that group uses stress and other things to blame the victim so that the 'remission rate' is high. And yes, it hurt a great deal when two people in my family turned away from alternatives, especially when what they were doing was clearly not working as well. It must be part of the American Way that if it ain't working, throw endless energy into it; don't try anything else. I've been accused of being UnAmerican. Guess it's true. Happy to find this group, for your knowledge and dedication, humor, helpfulness and openmindedness. Rhoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 They told you what? The very people that should be offering support? Rhoda, you are doing wonderfully. I know first hand what it is like to lose your husband and the life changes that it brings. However, the shock of the sudden death, together with the life changes that followed, plummeted me into several years of panic and anxiety. I will tell you one thing though, and you may have already experienced this. Death does not end the bonds of love. I also, together with many others in this group, also know the heartbreak of our ill family members not listening to us, or even admitting to the great change that we have gone through merely by using nature as our healer. They continue on the same path denying what is right in front of their eyes. Oh, what a grip mainstream medicine has on them. Even though they may really know better and see the evidence of such, they continue to follow the very ones leading them astray. My favorite phrase is they are obedient unto death. Many times, fear instilled from mainstream medicine is at the root of this. And, sadly, in other cases, well meaning family members (also brainwshed by mainstream medicine) is the other reason. It is extremely difficult to withstand pressure from our family members, our loved ones. I am very familiar with this in other areas of life. The pressure can be almost impossible to bear. It goes back to that old adage. It is more difficult to do what is right, what is true, than just fall in with the crowd and do what is " wrong. " You end up far out on that limb all by yourself receiving nothing other than disapproval and sometimes even ridicule. It is a most lonely place to be and sometimes you just feel like giving in just to ease the pressure. Unfortunately, too many do. We can only look on sadly and love them. As I read your posts, I cannot help but admire you. With your personal loss and grief you continue to help others. You are in no way unamerican. You are a hero.
