HEHE

My best friend (who doesn't have a weght issue) says to eat slow, be picky and stop when you are satisfied. Don't wait until your full. Stopping the sugar has worked for me. God Bless, Jamie

www.caringbridge.org/visit/rachaelsensabaugh Rachel is a 17 year-old senior who has developed lung cancer as a met from osteosarcoma (most common form of bone cancer). She is struggling with treatment and is having a really rough time. Any positive words and prayers you could offer would really help her spirits. Her website is listed at the top. It was started by her cousin. GOD BLESS!! Jamie

I have been trying to get donations for our fundraisers, this was a response from one of the companies that I had written to: We are sorry that we are not able to participate in this with you. As you will see from our internal exchange below, there is a simple, safe and effective way to cure all cancers. All that is required is living right, ie eating properly [and that means one thing – raw living food after a cleansing fast], exercise and compassion toward all things! The great pity is that so very few people will revert to this singular remedy; they look for magic in bottles and pills, or the invasive and toxic interference that passes for medicine these days. What makes this any better than the breast cancer efforts with pink ribbons et al? It's all the same drum for 'a cure': lots of effort and money to do the impossible. Giving music to kids is a great idea, but tied to the faulty and failing logic of 'curing cancer' doesn't cut it for me…. Who needs more 'research' on lung cancer when the answer is there many times over? I'd much prefer to support telling/teaching efforts about living right ….seeing how compassion comes full circle. My response To answer your first question. What makes this any better than the breast cancer efforts with pink ribbons et al? This is an opportunity for us to reach many children and warn them about the environmental concerns you mention. I was asking for your help in hopes that we could promote some of these safe and effective strategies for living. All lung cancers are NOT caused by neglect of our bodies, but from our genetic make-up that we have NO control over. There have been numerous studies to prove this. As for me and my family we follow the Dr. Schulze protocol and continue to eat only organic. We are very conscious of our environment. Is this the same drum for a cure? I would definitely say “not”. Our mission is also to reach out to the kids about the very things you are talking about in your response. The reason I was writing you was because I also know the benefits of living right. However, that doesn’t change the fact that we still need cancer treatment facilities, cancer oncologists and successful treatments. As I am sure you are aware, a number of the successful drugs used to treat cancer have come from natural substances. I am terribly sorry you feel the way you do and cancer survivors are a “thorn in your side”. For myself, I try to help everyone that needs it no matter what the circumstance. Compassion does come full circle. The last visit I paid to the chemo room at the clinic, I was filled much sadness and compassion (sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it). Giving music to kids is a great idea, but tied to the faulty and failing logic of 'curing cancer' doesn't cut it for me…. Who needs more 'research' on lung cancer when the answer is there many times over? I am confused about what that answer might be. I and the several hundred thousands lung cancer survivors out there need more research. My children, these children need more research. I am sure many years from now, the available medical treatments for cancer stability, maintenance and remission will be looked on as “inhumane” but this is what is available and the ONLY thing that is working for a number of people. The MUCH needed money for Lung Cancer research could improve that. We are anticipating 1500 or more students, parents and survivors and will have an awesome event with or without your help.

SO cute. GOD BLESS!! Jamie

Hey Everybody, The question has been asked about how to make a memorial or honorarium for the "Playing For A Cure" Band and Classical Solo Competition. Please e-mail me at Jyoung20@midsouth.rr.com and I will e-mail you all of the information. In a nut shell, you can donate what ever you like. The name of the person, who gave the contribution and what the contribution is for will be printed in the program. The amount of the contribution will be undisclosed. We also have ad options and sponsorships. LUNGevity is in the process of setting up a website for this fundraiser. As soon as that happen, it will be posted there as well. Thanks for the interest. Update---I spoke with a representative from Gould's (Salon and Day Spa) and they are very interested. I am hoping for a sponsorship. Many other local businesses have shown great interest. Tentatively, the New Memphis Hepcats Jazz Combo will be performing for the judges and special guests lunch. Troop 240 Boy Scouts will be handling parking and some concessions and the Memphis Sound Drum Corp will be providing a clinic for the students. We are using this month for donations. The deadline for all donations is February 17th. The graphic artist will need everything by that time to have everything ready. Thanks and God BLess!! Jamie

Good Luck Bill!! Please keep us posted on your progress. GOD BLESS!!! Jamie

Hey Teresa, I want to come to your house. What a view!!! GOD BLESS!! Jamie

Hey Sam, I don't know how much this will help. I had a hilar lymph node enlarged also. I was located on the right side of my mediastinum. I believe you have hilar lymph nodes on both sides. GOD BLESS!! Jamie I would probably get a second opinion before I wait. Did you have a mediastinoscopy? A CT or Pet scan. Any kind of biopsy?

I was a band director. When I was diagnosed, I had to stop working due to the treatment. There was an interim band director that came in and took over my job. The kids performed the Christmas concert in my honor. They also gave me a huge bouquet of flowers, a plaque and a huge bag of money they collected for me (so so sweet--a lot of quarters, nickels and dimes). I won't ever forget them.

That's awesome!!!! Congrats!! GOD BLESS RICH!!!

Too funny. Jamie

Sooo Funny. Jamie

Very cute Donna!! God Bless You!! Jamie
