I MUST share this info regarding the healing of cancer but not only cancer! This readily available and very cheap substance can control many other diseases running rampant in our world today. Honestly, who DOESN'T have someone in their life that has cancer or has had cancer or WILL have cancer? Cancer knows no socioeconomic status, it can hit any of us, at any time across the board! So, can you guess what this substance is?
Vitamin C AKA Ascorbic Acid
Yup, it is true! And we can thank Dr. Linus Pauling, the "father of Vitamin C" himself for all of the research and studies to prove this. In his book, Cancer and Vitamin C A Discussion of the Nature, Causes, Prevention, and Treatment of Cancer, with Special Reference to the Value of Vitamin C,(which I was able to find at my local library), Dr. Pauling along with Dr. Ewan Cameron, a surgeon involved in the treatment of cancer patients, explain in laymen's terms how Vitamin C can turn this whole cancer ridden world around!
"Cancer is caused by agents and conditions that change the genetic material in the cells of our bodies. It is clearly sensible for us to strive to prevent these changes and thus to prevent cancer. High-energy radiation causes cancer; hence we should avoid being exposed to it- no unnecessary x-rays, no over-exposure to sunlight, no radioactive pollution from nuclear weapons tests or nuclear power plants. Many chemicals cause cancer; hence we should try to identify and ban them. Moreover, as will be pointed out later, vitamin c is a general detoxifying agent and its proper use can help to protect us against carcinogenic chemicals, even those in tobacco smoke, although here the only sensible course is to stop smoking. Our normal tissues and organs fight the renegade malignancy; it is our duty to ourselves to help strengthen them in this fight, and there is evidence that vitamin c and other nutrients provide this strengthening influence." (p.17 of Cancer and Vitamin C)
Seems almost too good to be true but reading through this book has truly made me a believer that we are all deficient in vitamin c and this simple little vitamin can do so much to help our bodies maintain their defense in fighting off and attacking the many diseases that are plaguing so many people today! Drs. Pauling and Cameron go on to explain the nature of cancer, causes, common forms, various treatments available, controlling cancer, and spontaneous regression in cancer. Then they go on to discuss vitamin c, the immune system and vitamin c and the utilization of vitamin c in cancer patients. The test trials are discussed and case histories are presented which I found to be very interesting! Last but not least, the prevention of cancer is discussed and in conclusion, the role of vitamin c in the treatment of cancer.
Now, you may look at the publishing date of this book, which happens to be 1979, and think this is an outdated source but I think not! This book, compiled 35 years ago is right on! And when you look at the success rates and cure rates of our present treatments for cancer, I think we need to give these studies way more credit. I hope that doctors that are treating cancer today might stop and reflect for a moment and carefully examine the cases presented in this book and learn from them. The options available for cancer treatment today are basically the same as they were in the 1950's: cut, burn and poison. When does the healing take place? Where is the nurturing of our bodies, these delicate systems that God so wonderfully put together? When do we address the issue of boosting our immune system? There is a better way, there really is and we as intelligent and thinking people must step up, research these things for ourselves and present these ideas to the medical community. Otherwise we will be drug down the path(literally), our choices severely limited by the doctors that refuse to see the value of vitamin c and many other remedies that can help our bodies heal instead of harm! As the old saying goes, "There are none so blind as those who will not see,( or in this case "C" as in vitamin c!)

Praying for the persecuted
Pastor Behnam Irani, who is currently serving a six year prison sentence for crimes against national security, is now facing new charges for spreading corruption on the earth. This is an Islamic sharia charge that carries with it, if convicted, the death sentence. The reason for the charges against Pastor Behnam is that he continues to speak out on his own behalf and encourage believers in his church by phone. Which, for Islam, the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is indeed spreading corruption on the earth.
This is used as a political charge in Iran against anyone who does not submit to the government. The same charges were brought against two presidential candidates in February 2011.
Their purpose is to silence Pastor Behnam and put fear in the hearts of Iranian Christians. Pray for Pastor Behnam and for the Christian community in Iran to stand strong and firm in the face of rising persecution.
You can help Pastor Behnam as well by filming a short video saying "Free Pastor Behnam", posting it on facebook or youtube and sending it to us at speakout@freebehnam.com.

Where have I been?
Today is March 12, 2013. I am shocked when I see that date because I am still back in January...After a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year, the sickness began. We got hit hard...twice...each and every one of us! Totally wore me out....it seemed that no matter what we took it didn't help relieve our symptoms or help any of us get well faster. It was just going to take time....but me and my impatient self, uhhhmmm, we don't like to wait! I wanted it all to be gone..how' bout yesterday?
Waiting, time and being patient seems to be the major theme in my life lately.From saving money to paying off bills to investing in the lives of my children...all of these things take time!
Waiting was also a theme that King David knew as he wrote in Psalm 130:5-6
"I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His Word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning:
I say, more than they that watch for the morning."
So my prayer for myself and for you is that if God has you waiting for something, whatever it is, know that His timing is perfect! And that while we wait, we experience the 'teachable' moments, when we are alert and aware of God's presence.The real key here as we wait is that we must put our hope in HIS WORD.Not hoping to win the lottery(yes, that would be nice), not wishing that the bills would go away(that would be even nicer :) but sincerely desiring what God wants for each of our lives!
Opening up my Bible and reading, meditating(pausing to think and consider what He is saying),and jotting down a Scripture verse that touches my heart keeps my focus on God. Resting and waiting on the Lord will ensure that my heart is right before Him, that my ears are open to hearing whatever it is He wants to say and that my will is aligned with His will for my life!

I'm Walkin' On Sunshine....
This particular day we were walking at the Riverside Citrus Heritage Park. It was absolutely gorgeous as you can see from these pictures. Makes me start humming that old 80's tune by Katrina and the Waves--I'm Walkin' On Sunshine, Whoa! and Don't It Feel GOOD, Hey! Ba Pa Da Da Di Dup Dup Di Dudda Di Duh! Well, you get the idea....
| My oldest and youngest |
| Love the way these rows of orange groves are soooo straight! |
| Take note of the frozen water in the middle of this pic :) |
