Kiwisally, I understand that people need to face reality that they
may die, but also realize that without seeking treatment, then the outcome
will be death. I see a lot of Americans who rely on the FDA and USDA to tell them what is and what is not. I have seen many people who refuse to believe there's a cure for something simply because it is not administered by the USDA. If it cannot be patented, then it's not a real cure. I've also seen many drugs for treatments that cause more problems than the originally illness.
what everyone is telling you is the god's own truth.
God knows the cure, the USDA does not. There was no KNOWN cure for syphilis and many other diseases caused by bacterial infections until the discovery of penicillin in 1928. Before 1907 there was no KNOWN cure for sleeping sickness. Before 1932 there was no KNOWN cure for streptococcus. So you see, science is always advancing. People are always learning more than they knew before. It does not mean that all of a sudden there's a cure. The cure was always there, it was just undiscovered. Can you imagine if nobody looked for a cure for any disease simply because they were told there was none?
I have been doing a lot of research on ALS and have found that America is seeking for a drug cure, while other countries have already discovered the cure.
I want to share with you a story that I think is important to remembering how powerful the mind is. There were two men with identical names who were being seen by the same doctor. One man had a terminal illness and was only expected to live 6 months. The other man was healthy and had many years ahead of him. Somehow the nurse accidentally got the charts switched. The terminally ill man was notified that he was healthy and he simply needed a little rest and stress-relief. The healthy man was notified that he was terminally ill and had only 6 months to live. Gradually, the healthy man became sicker and sicker. Six months later, the healthy man lay in his bed and died. The terminally ill man went back to the doctor for a regular checkup and was found to be healthy, with no illness.
Here's a story that my mom's doctor told her about his friend: His friend had polio, which caused him to be paralyzed. As he lay in the hospital bed, he concentrated on moving his thumb since that's the only part of his body that he could move. After a while (days or weeks later), he started being able to move his fingers. So every day he concentrated on moving his fingers. After a while, he could move his hand, then his arm. He was sent home from the hospital and he told his wife he did not want her to help him other than to go to the bathroom and feed him. He had her put a mattress on the floor. Every day, he practiced moving until he could move more and more of his body. Eventually, he was fully recovered and had no paralysis.
Here's another story my mom's doc told her: There was a man who got into an accident and ended up in a coma. For months, he wasn't showing any improvement. There was a specialist passing through town, so the man's wife went to him and asked if he could see her husband. When he went to the hospital, the room was dark, the lights were off, and the curtains were closed. The specialist called the doctors and nurses in and told them, "This is what I need you to do: Turn the TV on and have it loud, pull open the curtains, keep the light on, get some boards and every time you walk by his room, clank them together, and poke him all over his body." Within a week the man was out of the coma. The wife called the specialist and asked him why those things worked. He said, "When he was in the coma, it was peaceful and quiet, he didn't have to do anything. Then the noise and poking made it so uncomfortable for him, that he had to get out."
Here's one last story from the doc: His daughter was born with cerebral palsy. The doctors told him she would never amount to anything. He and his wife decided to work with her every day, for 20 minutes 18 times a day. He massaged her and did physical therapy with her. At the age of 8, she is fully able to do everything anybody else can do.
One thing that I have been noticing about this forum is that there are a lot of people who are saying that nobody is going to get better. This is dark, gloomy, and negative. If you are told you will not get better, what are the chances of getting better? Zero. If you seek treatment and do everything you can to keep yourself healthy, and keep telling yourself that you will get better, there is a chance of getting better.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
I wish everyone the best and hope that you find what you're looking for on this forum. For me, I will continue searching for ways for my mom to get better and help her any way that I can. I hope the next time I'm on here, it's to let all of you know that my mom is cured and doing well.
