Eastern Doctor 3

I went to see Dr. M again yesterday. Actually I bought some supplements from him yesterday - Jim says I should not take them but I'm going to take them and yes, I will bring them to my oncologist to make sure they are not counter effective or anything. Dr. M taught me a breathing exercise which will help with my lungs. He took my health history (in very detail) and next time he will do some acupressure massage. Because Dr. M already made such a difference on my condition I have a faith in him. I actually slept until 6am this morning, which is a record since my treatment started.
I also read this Japanese cancer survivor book last night. It is about 12 people who the oncologists said they can not do anything, but they cured cancer by themselves. The lesson I learned from this book is that if you believe you can beat cancer, you will beat it. So I totally believe I can beat cancer with the treatment I'm going through now as well as help from Dr. M and the miracle drink!

IMHO you've hit the nail straight on the head. I believe that western medicine has the most quantifiable benefits & approaches to managing health - but there is a lot of good to be found from other sources. Anything that helps you is good, just don't let the external sources dissuade you or taint the known effectiveness of western medicine. Use the two approaches to compliment each other.

Mizuho, it makes my heart sing to hear you are feeling better. I know deep down that you will get through this, and I am so very grateful that Dr. M has been able to make the journey not so rough. I think Les has left good advice here- embrace sll of the help that you have been given and you will get well.

Now- on to business. You were saying you needed some help. I would be happy to do dishes and clean the house and Les can do errands and grocery shopping. I'm glad to do your laundry, but I would prefer to do it at my house because the stairs you guys have would kill me. If you were talking about "professional" help, I'm fairly sure Carla could handle anything that you listed except maybe cooking Japanese food (she can cook though). You just let us know what you want/need.

Watsons- have you guys started decorating for Halloween yet? This weekend will be our big decorating push. The spooky season is upon us!

Everyone have a very happy, bright and crisp fall weekend- but most especially you my sweet friend Mizuho. May you find new strength and rest and may you take some joy in the season!

Hi all correction - Jim said he is not skeptical about Dr. M. Jim just didn't think taking lots of supplements without conferring with my doctor was good idea.
