Do you know what your body’s pH levels are today? Those numbers are reliable indicators of whether you’re trending towards health or towards illness. They’re a helpful thing to keep track of. Water everywhere on the planet has a pH level — it’s acidic, alkaline, or neutral — and the body’s water is no exception. […]

Optimists and Pessimists
This world is made of dichotomies. Opposites. There are uncountable numbers of them, e.g. hard and soft, past and future, up and down. Simple stuff. As I watch the coronavirus drama play out, I see the two groups of optimists and pessimists making opposite predictions and giving opposite advice to the public. The gloomy ones […]
A Nursing Home Event
We’ve been told lately that most of the COVID 19 deaths have been occurring in nursing homes. The elderly residents have pre-existing conditions that make them easier prey for the virus. I think we should also consider that perhaps those who succumb are ready to go and are making use of this opportunity. Death is […]
Near and Far, Small and Large
So far in 2020, most of us have had our lives scrunched down. So many familiar and necessary things were snatched from us, such as our jobs, our family security, sports events, bars and parties and Sunday Church. Our world was bashed down to COVID 19 statistics, glove barriers, speech muffled behind masks and another […]
Let’s Peer Into the Saga
Here’s the beginning of Chapter 8, Stem Cell Treatments in Thailand.
My plane landed in Bangkok where I changed airline and flew north to Chiang Mai. It was now about midnight. When I walked out from the security and customs areas, there was a one-man welcoming crowd, a smiling man holding a sign with my name on it. Dr. Lodi [my AZ cancer doctor] had arranged for him to drive me to my new home.
“Jen-ee-FER?”
“Yes.” Despite my fatigue, I felt a laugh gurgling in me at the way he said my name – not how I usually reacted when called Jennifer. In my world thus far, nobody called me “Jennifer” unless they were mad at me. But this was something in another world. I started adapting at that moment: he’s not upset with me, my plane wasn’t late, he speaks Thai.

Dr. Murphy has bought my book, My Cancer Survival Saga And How You Could Star in Yours, and is starting to read it. He was my doctor at the cancer clinic in AZ back in 2012 when I was “this close” to popping off from leukemia. He and Dr. Thomas Lodi, the clinic founder, and the terrific staff dragged me back from extinction and the Saga covers in entertaining detail many of the treatments they used on me. He now runs his own cancer clinic in AZ. Check out that Saga yourself! It’s a good read and very informative.
Phototherapy
Do you take supplements to improve your health? Perhaps you take vitamin C or Co-enzyme Q-10 or some minerals, other antioxidants etc. Have you wondered whether they’re all getting into your body cells or have you maybe assumed that they are and once you swallowed them, you forgot about them?
Swallowing them of course is step one, but then they need a good delivery system to take them where they’re needed. If the blood is healthy, there’s no problem with that. How can we assess the health of our blood? And if it’s deficient somehow, what can we do about it?
How to Sweeten Life?
By now we all know that sugar intake should be limited, not least because sugar hastens tooth decay and is a contributing cause of cancer. We have a choice of substitutes and Aspartame is readily available under several brand names such as NutraSweet and Equal. However, it’s not a benign substance, being linked to cancer, obesity, and Alzheimer’s, for example. Many people use Stevia which is a plant and causes no health problems. To me, Stevia has a bad aftertaste; it tastes like something concocted in a lab. But there are other choices.
Long Ago Christmas
My Australian childhood Christmasses started in the Spring, September. We began saving the gold and silver paper around chocolates; these were treasures to be used in making Christmas tree decorations. Then in early October Christmas continued with a small jar of water sitting on the kitchen windowsill. “Children, you must save all your threepences now. […]
What’s the Deal With Carrots?
Juicing is now pretty mainstream and carrots are a popular ingredient for their copious juice and pleasant sweetness. Sweetness. What if you have cancer: should they be included? At the cancer clinic I went to in Arizona, carrots were never included in the daily vegetable juice because of their high sugar content. However, the Gerson protocol for cancer treatment features up to 13 glass of carrot juice per day. I puzzled over this contradiction for a while.
