LIFE'S CHALLANGES
LIFE’S
CHALLENGES
Another plus is that most all can speak English and
understand what your needs are. I go to
an organic market to buy my food each week, plus there are local shops that
have gluten free products as well. The biggest part of the puzzle are the
prices. We are living on a retirement
income. Our budget includes supplements
to prevent our cancer from coming back plus helping our daughter with her
student loans. Another piece to the puzzle is Dan has ten stents in his heart. Did
you know that the stents really only last up to ten years. We found this out only here in Mexico. Last
year Dan had a checkup with our local physician here in Chapala. His heart had blockages where the previous
stents were. This meant more
money!!! Even if Dan went back to
America and had Medicare to help pay for some of the expense it would cost out
of pocket at least $6,000.00, for it would be an outpatient service. Thank God
for Mexico because we would not be able to survive in the USA and still enjoy
life without the stress of bills.
So, I am saying that Mexico as a whole is safe and is
just beautiful and I would recommend it for a place to visit or such as us, to
live. In the Lake Chapala area there
are hot springs, mountain trails, coffee shops and wonderful restaurants with a
history of fabulous art work. Wherever
you wake up you can see the sunset looking over the lake or town with the birds
and animals all enjoying it by singing.
It’s a blessing each year for cancer has been part of
my awareness for the past five years and will always be part of my world. I do
this by not only keeping a prevention
operation going, but to keep educating others on how we can control the disease
by both the function of prevention and other factors in fighting it. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and through the past five
years I have been spreading the knowledge that I have learned. My book I wrote is an eye opener on how one
can think outside the box and control cancer without side effects. It’s another option that I believe that our
insurance companies should cover. I know
that most people would rather try another approach besides chemo and radiation
if they did not have to pay for it as a total expense. I know because I have asked others and they
would have tried other options that did not have side effects. In honoring my Aunt I have started a
petition, my first step to control cancer and for others to have the quality of
life I have without going bankrupt and suffering.
Most of my family and friends are tired of hearing
this, but it’s a passion that I have and will be there until there is a change
in the way the business of cancer is being done. My drive is seeing and hearing stories of
thousands of people that are dealing with this illness and all the sadness that
comes out of it. It’s a war that we do
not think about and is not being won, right under our noses. We all talk about the war we are fighting and
how the soldiers are protecting the USA, but where is the protection right in
our home land. We need the money spent
wisely for education and training for the doctors on treating cancer. So today please help me and sign and share
this petition and give hope to not just the American people, but for all
nations to make cancer a past problem and create a better environment for our
children to live in.

FREEDOM
FREEDOM
Dan and I sometimes take walks around the
neighborhood. I enjoy the view with all
the nature that surrounds us. I feel
free to walk up to the animals that gaze the fields and look them in the eye into
their souls. It gives me a peace of understanding
that life is a cycle and nature is here for us to enjoy and not take for
granted.
We have the best of both worlds, the mountains and the
fields combined with the pleasure of the sounds of birds, roosters roosting,
cows mooing, and horses Neerggghhhhhfffff along with
the dogs barking.
Mexico is not any
different than a lot of places in the states.
The land is combined with mountains, beaches and deserts depending on
the area you may visit. Where I am
living we are as high as Denver, however the weather is quite different. The weather average is 86 degrees and rains
only at night during the rainy season.
Wait, I take it back about 90 per cent of the time it rains at night and
10 per cent during the day. Perfect for
Dan and I to take walks around.
Enjoy the day, stop and
enjoy the roses.
Memorial Day HERE IN MEXICO
Memorial Day HERE
IN MEXICO
Here in Chapala, Mexico there are a lot
of veterans and they have an American Legion Club. So why not celebrate the day with all the
Americans that fought for our freedom in honor of the good old USA.
Although, Dan and I were not in the
military, our friend invited us to the American Legion. I was honored to celebrate a day that is
flagged on our calendars and to remember the soldiers that fought and died to
protect freedom.
Most of you all do not realize that
there are several thousand vets living abroad, especially here in Mexico. I have met some that were in different wars
and have paid a tremendous cost. We tend
to forget the chemicals that they had to endure, which is an everlasting effect
on their lives, such as Agent Orange.
Celebrating with fabulous food and
entertainment our appetite was compromised for there was no organic foods. To tell a secret we cheated and had roast pig
and baked beans with corn on the cob.
It’s what you would call an all American meal.
As we go forward, let’s take a moment
and if you see someone on the street needing help that went to war remember
that they endured the sacrifice to protect our nation.
Enjoy the pictures and mini movie.

MY LAST CRY FOR HELP
MY LAST CRY FOR HELP
Thinking back to when we were a child, do you remember ever having a pet turtle? Well, it hit me the other week and how much I wanted to go back to those days and enjoy my pet turtle. So off to the pet store I went and there were turtles and supplies for them. I was overjoyed with laughter for now I have my pet turtle. The pet store clerk gave me a brief lesson on how to take care of them. I purchased two plus a little aquarium (like a bowel that I had when I was a child with a palm tree and steps for them to get out of the water.) He told me that the turtles will only live up to five months.
Life is like this; you sometimes begin what you intend to do prior to doing the research. I went home after and did some research and saw that the turtles needed a bigger home and healthy foods. The small bowels are called death bowels. I learned what to do to keep them around for a long time with a quality of life. I went back to the pet store and got a larger aquarium with healthier food and even a filter. Now, I know that my turtles will be happier. They are able to swim and exercise with more room to enjoy life.
My last cry for help is about sharing what I have learned with my experiences with cancer and much like my turtles trying to educate the public on what other treatments that are out there without side effects. We go to the doctor and he tells us we have cancer and without researching we believe what he says and go along with it because others do and the insurance will only pay for what he says. This is why I am doing this petition, because I know that there are other types of treatments that work and are not paid by the insurance companies. I want others to have this quality of life without cut, burn or poison and side effects. Please join me and lets change the mode of chemo and radiation for they are still experimenting on us with this type of treatment, why not be experimenting with other ways without side effects and have the insurance companies pay for those .
Research and remember that knowledge is power, so until we change the way of treatments, people will suffer with the side effects and chemicals that are given to them. With the numbers each day that die of cancer, these may be your friends, family or even you some day. Let’s change this and stand up with me and sign this petition and make a difference. You are a drop, but together we are an ocean.
