Jyoung20 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 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.

teresag Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Wow, are their facts ever screwed up! Eating right cures all cancers, huh? Please tell us the name of the company. And maybe a letter-writing campaign is in order, as Andrea said. - Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 If eating right cured all cancers, I would have cooked from morning till night for every one i know with cancer..These people should get real!! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevotedDaughter Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Talk about no clue. Sadly I wonder why it is that ignorance is so common, perhaps they have yet to realize that experience is the best teacher there will ever be, not just our own but others' as well. I just hope that this person will never be unfortunate enough to experience the reality of this disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenl Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Dear Jamie I'm sorry that you received such an ignorant and thougtless reply to your request for help. Your response to them was wonderful, and much kinder than mine would have been!!! I for one, will certainly be donating to your cause. Keep up the good work! Love Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTich Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Intelligence has it's limits but stupidity knows no bounds! Sad to see people so blind to the truth. Maybe this is Tom Cruise's company? He seems to subscribe of the same ignorance, in believing that exercise & nutrition cures all including depression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Your out there trying to make a difference, I admire and respect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Well said all.. I agree Rich. Jamie, you are amazing! When is your event? I am glad I am enlightened. However, much of the enlightenment (the little I have received) has usually come by personal hardship and tragedy. The best teachers for some of us is through our own pesonal walk. I wish I could learn these lessons some other way... And I wish I could learn compassion the first time so that I didn't have to keep doing it over and over again. Sorry to say, Jamie, I was much like your "friend" there. If I received a letter back such as what you have written, I might reconsider your kindness. Who knows? Good job. Congratulate your patience.

karen335 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Very ignorant people. They must be living under a rock or in a cave... Keep up the great work Jamie. People like that don't deserve any recognition, but you sure do... Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is bliss. Please tell us who they are so we can send them some more e-mails... God Bless, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to you. You are truly an inspiration! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
