Christianity and Pharmaceuticals

[Les]

Thanks everyone for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

I was told that they can not see anything wrong in my test results, so I have "nothing to worry about".
That did not satisfy me, as I am having new pains since I thought I was going to die recently,
when in so much pain and barely able to move or breathe.

Did another blood test, and went for x-rays.
I hope soon finally I can get cortisone shots for some of my pains.
This is the only solution that I can think of that might be covered by Disability benefits.
Been refused any painkillers besides what I have already.
I think if i was attended by a sports medicine doctor, I would have been back to normal and running and jumping again like I was 20 (ok, 30) at my nearing middle -age.

The doctor has never said it, but afterwards out of the office,
and the cute, older blonde, (the always happy Anglo lady!) who takes my blood, said it sounds like I have "chronic pain" and should be seeing a specialist.

oh, and Bill. I started back on eating red meat again after a very , very long time of fish only.
We need to eat beef because it is the cows causing ozone depletion from their methane releases !
Could be possible.
It makes as much sense as whatever Al Gore has ever said, ha ha!

It sounds like you are pumping your body full of chemicals and radiation. It will do more harm than good.

[Les]

I guess.

many years ago, the clerk who was issuing my "health card" kept refusing me, until I finally consented that my body could be used for science after I died.
If it was not bad enough the year earlier, a black broad refused to accept my ID from my SIN (Social Insurance Number) that i signed when I was 13, did not look the same as an adult, but then ...
Not only a fatbody stuffy white piece of overage crap female kept making me take snapshots, but refused to stamp my Health Card until I consented to give my "body to science" or whatever the heck is on the form.

I HATE MY PROVINCE.
I HATE CANADA.

I WISH MY PARENTS NEVER LEFT WHERE THEY CAME FROM, WHERE I RIGHTFULLY BELONG, IN EUROPE, !

Been told enough, and heard enough, " why don't you go back ! "

Oh yeah, I think, if European / ancestral governments had some type of offer, for all of us in North America, oh yes, AUTOMATICALLY, we will solve their immigration problems of non-whites, as it is OUR ancestral lands,
NOT THESE MUD PEOPLES.

I am stuck in hell.

There are other ways of beating cancer. Ways which make you feel better, not worse

As encouragement, see one of my favourite passages:

My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation. 2 Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble. 3 Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end. 4 Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate. 5 For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity. 6 Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him. 7 Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, lest ye fall. 8 Ye that fear the Lord, believe him; and your reward shall not fail. 9 Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy.

10 Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him? 11 For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction. 12 Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!

13 Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended. 14 Woe unto you that have lost patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?

15 They that fear the Lord will not disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways. 16 They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well, pleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law. 17 They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight, 18 Saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.

Les, I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. If you're suffering from chronic pain you might want to look into the m. speciosa plant. It acts like pain-blocking opiate but does not contain any opium or opium derivatives. It's legal in the U.S. and Canada as well. Sadly, it only grows in S.E. Asia but I believe much of the trade is run by whites. I think cannabis has similar effects but I'm not sure of its legality in Canada. I believe it's safer to use the medicinal botanicals (within reason) that Yahweh has provided than to rely on jew-controlled pharmaceutical companies. Either way, I wouldn't recommend long term use of any painkiller, whether natural or synthetic, as addictions will eventually form.

Also, keep in mind that positive changes in diet and lifestyle can result in great long term benefits.

I hope this helps. I'll be praying for your recovery.

Yahweh bless

Very true. I started slipping down that slope when I had horrible back pain. Thank Jesus that I finally figured out what the source of the back pain was which was my teeth of all things! Had all the bad teeth removed, got my gum disease under control and haven't had any back pain in 18 months.

Please pray for us as we are held captive by the medical system and it's pharmakeia (sorceries). Here is our abbreviated story:

My wife, Sharon, has been bravely fighting cancer for a few years now. She miraculously reversed breast cancer with a combination of natural remedies, YHWH faith, and allopathic medicine (necessary but contrary to our beliefs). However, it was discovered a year ago that the cancer metastasized to the brain where a tumor causes stroke-like symptoms. The symptoms are controlled with a corticol-steriod (Dexamethasone).

This has been an extremely difficult condition to deal with and has confined my wife to bed and wheelchairs for long periods of time (where she listens to Bill and Clifton's teachings by the way). I was able to put nursing and homecare services in place but the homecare provider and their staff have proved to be beyond incompetent. They repeatedly dropped her and she started suffering severe back pain which made it difficult for her to lie flat in bed. This led to leg swelling and pressure sores on her rear from sitting too much. My wife complained of abuse from one of the PSW's last week and I filed a complaint. A VON nurse stated that Sharon's pressure sores were not going to heal unless she was admitted to hospital, placed in a special hospital air-bed and turned frequently. Together, we decided to take the hospital option to heal the pressure sores. Sharon was relatively fine otherwise.

At the hospital, the nurses and I noticed that her back pain was quite severe every time they turned her. Belately, I started to suspect a spine fracture. After a few days, the doctor advised us to put Sharon on a pain killer (Hydromorphone) three times a day. She took this drug before when she had the breast tumor without any serious problems. However, this time around the hydromorphone has quickly put her in a catatonic state and she is declining rapidly. Yesterday, I wanted the doctor and nurses to at least reduce the dosage. Sharon did not want to take the pain pill and refused to take it orally today. Now they want to proceed with giving her a subcutaneous injection of morphine. This seems like a death sentence to me and they seem determined to proceed with this despite our objections. The doctor says that her catatonic state is from disease progression and the nurses want the convenience of turning her without having to listen to her groan. Short of kidnapping my wife, what should I do? Am I wrong to say no to morphine? By the way, I have power of attorney for personal care.

Richard,
It's hard to offer any advice concerning the health laws in Canada as I'm sure they are different from those in the U.S., especially concerning your right to refuse certain procedures or drugs. However, it sounds like you should insist on your wife's back being x-rayed/MRI for a possible fracture or ruptured disc.

I have been through a similar situation to your wife's--when my cancer had progressed to its worst point, I was bed-ridden for weeks and developed bed sores in the hospital from my inability to literally move on my own. From the bed sores I developed a severe staph infection that spread to my blood, which put me back in the hospital for almost a month on IV antibiotics. This is common for cancer patients, and your wife should be closely watched and tested for signs of staph infection, as she is far more likely to get it in the hospital than she was when she was at home in your care. As such, hospitals can be the worst places for a cancer patient.

As far as the hydromorphone is concerned, I have a lot of experience with that, too. As an opiate, I consider it far superior to many of the other painkillers that doctors recommend which are often laced with other harmful ingredients like acetaminophen (Tylenol) found in Percocet, which will cause liver damage. I luckily did not become addicted to the dilaudid (hydromorphone), nor have any side effects. I found it to be the lesser of many evils.

That said, you should be aware that doctors start cancer patients on high-dose painkillers as the first step toward euthanasia. I was visited by "hospice care" specialists a number of times, and their purpose is to basically prepare you to be euthanized when their sorcery ultimately fails as it often does. It's all a domino effect--unresolved back pain, bed-ridden, bed sores, staph infection, painkillers, steroids, oblivion. I've been there, and you have to be vigilant and monitor everything because these health care workers, including the doctors, are truly incompetent and mostly don't have a clue what they they are doing.

If you've never heard of him, the Canadian, Rick Simpson, has helped many people successfully treat terminal cancer with cannabis oil concentrate. I've used a similar mixture, and it does work with no side effects. Used for medical purposes, I don't consider it sorcery as all our cells have natural cannabinoid receptors for a reason:

Wow, Richard, I am sorry that you and your wife are having such troubles. I tried to express that in part 2 of Christianity and Pharmaceuticals, that there should be empathy for people in certain situations or who are locked into the system already.

For what its worth, I would not consider a person to be a sinner for taking a pill to escape such pain. But under the influence of such pills, the conscience is so altered that people certainly are not themselves.

I concur with EzraLB. The morphine is at least a naturally-occurring substance derived from a plant, so it is not really sorcery. Otherwise we had all better quit tea and coffee. (Although hydromorphone is labeled as "semi-synthetic".)

But I also concur with EzraLB on the medical use of morphine. When I was in prison I corresponded with a man who had cancer. Hospice came to his home and they started giving him morphine and upped the dose so that in a few weeks he could no longer even talk or write. His wife wrote me later. He was dead six weeks after hospice started giving him morphine. I was convinced that they euthanized him.

Neither is there anything wrong with cannabis oil. And I have read and heard of its medicinal qualities.

You should do your best to make your wife comfortable, and try to look into what EzraLB has told you. I pray that you can.

[Richard1]

Thanks for the advice EzraLB and Bill!

However, it sounds like you should insist on your wife's back being x-rayed/MRI for a possible fracture or ruptured disc.

The doctor seems to be back-pedalling on having Sharon x-rayed/MRI saying that there would be nothing we could do if she did have a fracture and that it would put her through a lot of pain for nothing. He believes that the back pain is from the cancer progression. Also, he mentioned that her Chemo Doctor gave her a 3 month prognosis which was 18 months ago. With those comments, I believe that he is implementing an euthanasia plan. They've obviously given her high-dose hydromorphone. By the way, he is irritated by our natural therapies and faith.

your wife should be closely watched and tested for signs of staph infection, as she is far more likely to get it in the hospital than she was when she was at home in your care

We brought her in the hospital for bed sore healing and it appears that opened the door for other discoveries and agendas, some good, some bad. Since she has been here they did discover a bladder infection, a yeast infection, swabbed her for staph, and discovered her blood sugar was 13 and put her on insulin. It's a domino effect from poor PSW homecare and the effects of the corticol-steroid. I think she would be better off at home with me taking care of her full-time but I don't know what to do about cash flow. I'm looking into Employment Insurance Compassionate Care Benefits which are a pittance.

Yes, very familiar with Rick Simpson Oil (RSO). We tried this "cannabis oil" therapy some time ago when it was illegal in Canada (some friends sent us a syringe). It didn't seem to do anything for the tumor but was great at countering the insomnia caused by the corticol-steriod. Sharon was approved for medical marijuana but the legal provider we chose, Tweed.com, is next to impossible to communicate with and they only provided the raw herb. To convert the raw herb to oil safely ourselves was an impossible task since Everclear alcohol is illegal to bring into Canada. Last summer cannabis oil was legalized and we've been waiting for Tweed to produce an oil version. Since then we've been using oxygen/probiotics therapy which brought Sharon's thought, memory and speech functions back. I'm going to contact Tweed again and see if I can get some oil. [at this point, I could use some myself ]
