Some ThoughtsGREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS from Arnold's Way!
It's Tuesday night. It's late. It's dark. It's a
time when one should think of resting rather than writing. We as a people are in
the throes of delusional contentment. What is really relaxing and what is really
being content?
I think of my website. I think of two women who wrote to me stating their lives
have been turned upside down. Both have cancer, both were given no hope, and
both wrote to me. Although, they write from far away our hearts are close. The
sickness one suffers; we all suffer. Can one be treated with success? Everyone
can be treated with success.
I wrote back not in sympathy, but in hope. I wrote back not about them, but about me. Words are very difficult; how can I be sure I'm saying the right thing. It is on this note that I begin this week's newsletter.
I speak from the heart not from of what I know.
To receive the word cancer in our lives is like a death sentence, of black light
and blue lagoons with no hope inside. To learn to become a survivor is without a
reward for a better tomorrow. I can only think of shame.
Shame on the medical field for frightening the very depths of those that receive
the message of cancer. Our body understands English, all 75 trillion cells. When
they give up hope: we give up hope.
Our reward for being is our existence in excellence. I heard the women's story not in my head, not in my notebook, not in test, and especially not in my pocket. Cancer is a big business. Their business's salary depends on people getting sick and dying. It is with hope I write to share the message that there is a better way. I can only speak. What will I do? What can I share with my wife, my daughters, my son, and all those willing to take full responsibility on a day-to-day basis for their well-being?
Cancer cannot exist in a strong immune system. I sit quietly in awe as I remember the 5 healing techniques for exquisite health, as quoted by Joe Meszanos who spoke at our store. I remember the words of Matt Goodman www.rawpower.info, who walks with passion and determination 2000 miles on the Appalachian Trail.
Joe was a weight lifter and saw the results of taking too much protein. He saw his fellow body builders wilt away with each intake of protein. So, he espouses breathing, water, fasting, 100% raw food, and exercise. These were the same words of Matt, who on his website states clearly that M.S. is the best thing that ever happened to him.
So he is walking for M.S. with no advertisement and no non-profit group sponsoring him. Since he found the cure without money, without research, and without anyone else, but his own drive for a cure. It is Joe's & Matt's hopeful story that I shared with the two women who were not given any hope.
I thank you for your time, Arnold.
