Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Kay, I agree. I am in the same boat sort of. Recently my dad had surgery to remove a tumor in his bowel and it was 2nd stage cancer. they think they got it all but my stepmom said my dad has to get chemo in which of course I am not thrilled about .There was controversy when I stopped vaccinating my kids so I am kind of skeptical on mentioning the idea of a homeopath to her for him. I know my dad would not like us bickering and all right now because he needs us and we need each other . On top of the cancer he has diabetes and parkinsons disease which I feel came from the dry cleaning plant he worked in for years and that I did tell him about. Debbie Planting seeds I was talking on the phone with my sister today when she brought up a friend of hers whose daughter got strep throat one week, then the next week came down with chicken pox (this was a 6 or 7 year old). According to her friend, one of the little girl's pox spots became infected with strep and it turned into the flesh-eating strep. She was rushed to the hospital and successfully treated over time, but now has a terrible scar. My sister started to say, " People think chicken pox is such a harmless disease... " I cut in, " But it is! " If the little girl had been treated homeopathically for the strep, her body may not have been susceptible to chicken pox, and even if she did come down with it, the pox could also have been treated homeopathically. Not to mention this little girl was probably vaxed to the max (I don't know if she'd had the ch. pox vax) and her immune system was probably a mess to begin with. So, my sister and I had a long talk about homeopathy. She is very skeptical at this point, but can't dispute the successes my family and I have had lately with it. She was also telling me about how about twice a year she gets terrible sinus symptoms that really throw her body for a loop so badly that she has a hard time functioning on a day to day basis. Of course I recommended she see a homeopath!! Her solution at this point is to get antibiotics. Grrr... Hopefully I'm making some headway though. I put in a plug for homeopathy every chance I get! It's hard not to say too much and overload someone who knows nothing about it, but I try to hit the high points and then add to it here and there.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Kay I agree my dad recently had surgery to remove a tumor from his bowel and it was 2nd stage cancer. My stepmom said they think they got it all but they are going to do chemo anyway which I am not thrilled about. We had controversy when I stopped giving my kids shots so that is why I am skeptical about mentioning homeopathy. I don't think my dad would want us bickering right now because he needs us and we need each other. besides the cancer my dad has parkinsons and diabetes which I feel came from the dry cleaning plant he worked in for years that I did tell him though and he agreed with that one.Get more from the Web.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 I'm very sorry to hear about your dad, Debbie. I hope they will at least look at the options at this point. It can't hurt for you to mention it. The decision is theirs, but you'll know you tried. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Debbie, I know of a case (the mother of a personal friend of mine) in which the woman was told she had 6 months to live because of breast cancer and the effects of its spreading to other areas. As off today I ask my buddy about his mother and he says that she is in remission and due to stop all chemotherapy in a month if the checkup goes well. That is a success story if you ask me. Also, I worked in tissue culture for cancer research in the Navy and I feel for those hurt by cancer. Re: Planting seeds I'm very sorry to hear about your dad, Debbie.
