Same fight different weapon.

Let me start this post by making one thing perfectly clear -- -- -- -- we are trusting God, period. We put our trust in God not man. And whatever happens in our life we will praise Him.
Right now God has us in a fight with cancer. It has been a rollercoaster ride for the last 17 months. Last year Pam had her battle with cancer and this year it has been my turn. Prayer has been and will continue to be our primary weapon. So don't stop praying. I believe in a God who is alive and well and involved. I anticipate the inevitable supernatural intervention of God ---->> I believe in miracles. And it would be wonderful if God would supernaturally heal this cancer.
In the mean time I need to do all that I can do. Thus far we have followed the advice of all of the medical doctors and have been in Chemo treatments since April. Chemo is the main weapon used by the medical industry against cancer. But Chemo is doing things to my body that scares me. I won't go into all of the details but I have valid concerns. And on top of my concerns, I found out last Monday that the chemicals they are putting into my body can damage my liver. So I am done with Chemo and we are changing weapons.
We have been asking lots of questions and researching alternatives. What we have found is that a nutritional approach to fighting cancer is not only backed up by much research but much success as well. In fact, the nutritional approach has a better long term success rate than does Chemo. A startling fact is that in America it is illegal for a medical doctor to treat cancer with nutrition. So we will be pursuing my treatments with a nutritionist, we will be eating 'closer to the root' and we will be about a healthier lifestyle.

God is good all the time.
