Hi Tatiana,

My daughter was barely out of infancy when she was diagnosed with Leukemia, which is very different from the form a cancer your friend has. With Leukemia, there are no tumors, but malignant white blood cells that have gone haywire.

The following information will most likely be of no use to your friend, unfortunately. The "experiment" on my daughter, and 49 other kids participating in the study, is receiving NO radiation. Radiation was standard in the treatment of Leukemia until this study.To replace that, she had increased doses Methotrexate by lumbar puncture (spinal tap). The point is to save kids, while decreasing the brain damage that is done to children by radiation. The study is to compare these kids with 50 others that received the standard treatment, which includes radiation. I am assuming that your friend has had plenty of radiation?

I wish I had answers for you, April. There are no other proven therapies out there to help your friend? Sometimes the Drs, themselves, are not aware of everything that is out there. Keep researching, you may be grasping at straws, but at least you are trying.

GoldDustWoman

She may be disfellowshipped, but she is still very much under the mind control of the WTS.

If you want heartache, and lots of it, marry her.

Otherwise, run!

Tatiana,

I want nothing more than for your friend to improve. I really have no indepth knowledge of any specific "alternative" therapy, and benefits it may provide. My experience with Cancer has been with my daughter. Her treatment included participating in an experimental treatment and a formal long term study. So far, so good .

Anyway, if I were in your friends position, and traditional treatment was not resulting in remission, I would probably be checking into the various avenues you have posted links to. I hope she finds success.

I think that someone should do whatever they feel is in their best interest. However, "alternative" therapies are better called unproven therapies. No formal studies have been done to confirm, or deny, their affectiveness.

Proceed with caution.

Special Dub Words That Make You Go YUK!

by Englishman in

jw
friends

for me, the word was "loving".. great "loving" kindness.. great undeserved "loving" kindness!.

disfellowshipping is a "loving" provision.. when the wtbts want their accolytes to swallow another bitter pill, another restriction, another rebuke, another demand on time, the buzz word is "loving".. the "loving" word, is, to the average jw, the same as the mccabe nod is to the salesman.

the mccabe nod is used by salesman all the time to get the prospective customer to agree to something that he doesn't care for too much.

Upbuilding!

It annoys me to no end in what context the WTS uses this word.

Who prefers upbuilding, well, *ahem*....back to the penis thread.

In God We Trust - Not Humans

by Delite75 in

as the coin says "in god we trust" - i never trusted my kids with menfolk, even relatives.

not even their father!

there was one guy in the congregation who was (and still is) a homosexual.

GoldDustWoman

Well, Delite, I hope that you read your thread.

What has struck me, rereading your post, is that you say you have a son. You are aware that one day he will grow up to be a MAN. If we apply your mode of thinking to him, then all children should be kept safely away from his presense upon his arrival into adulthood.

Also, your future daughter-in-law should never allow him alone with his OWN kids. You certainly couldn't protest that. After all, she would only be following YOUR example, eh?

Dealing with Shunners

by Hairy Harr in

jw
friends

it was kind of fun yesterday when i was in line at the local coffee house.

a "sister" came up and stood in line right next to me.

now, my ex is df'd and i am probably "bad association", but technically they should not shun me because i never got dunked.

GoldDustWoman

Hey Hairy,

Good for you! See how completely embarrassed this ONE witness was when the policy of shunning is exposed to the public? The shame she felt was justified. I just wish it could be made common knowledge everywhere there are witnesses. People just have no idea how evil ,and insideous, an organization the WTS is.

GoldDustWoman

Delite? What is up with you, girl?

So, in your opinion, ALL males are child-molesters? Cause a guy is gay he's a child molester? Oh man, I see this thread going up in flames. I am not even going to debate your obviously convoluted thinking.

Trust god? Why should I do that? What has God done for me, lately?
Besides, he created child molesters too.

Get a grip, lady.

wilson runs a nail factory and decides his business needs a bit of advertising.

he has a chat with a friend who works in marketing and he offers to make a tv ad for wilson's nails.. "give me a week," says the friend, "and i'll be back with a tape.".

a week goes by and the marketing executive comes to see wilson.

GoldDustWoman

LOL!

I must admit, Gravy, you nailed me on that one.

Breast implants: Question for men.

by Martini in

it is estimated that working women will on a yearly basis spend approximately $5,800.00 to adorn themselves, perhaps a breakdown is as follows:.

1. cosmetic stuff ( make up ) approx $500.00.

2. hair care approx $800.00.

3. Clothing approx $4,500.00

WOW! I haven't spent $500.00 on make-up, and 4,500.00 on clothing, in 5+ years! Let alone ONE year. Oh, that's right, I'm a housewife with two kids, I don't work. [8>]
