Each day is a blessing. Be thankful for all you have as you can always find someone worse off than yourself.
It is ok to be angry, sorrowful, wonder why, but remember there is hope for a better tomorrow. The old saying "where there is life there is hope" is so true. Only a higher power knows your tomorrows.

THE POWER OF VITAMIN D & VITAMIN D3
Vitamin D and Vitamin D3 are vital in the boosting of the immune system.. Recent data has shown the lack of Vitamin D is more dangerous than High cholesterol.. Daily dose of either these vitamins are all you need to improve your health. You can also choose Cod Liver Oil. Ugh you say! It also comes in capsules. Remember when choosing supplements quality outweighs quantity. I personally use Carlson's brand. When I was in Norway they served it at the hotel for Breakfast every day. So I would say the Norwegians know something we don't. The have a great respect for the fact they have less sunlight and as a common practice use prevention rather than cure.
These necessary vitamins maintain the blood calcium levels, which are most important to have healthy bones, which includes bone growth and maintaining normal density. Vitamin d is essential for absorption of these nutrients into the bone.
They aid in the proper cell production, also boosting immunity.
It has been shown that insulin production has been stabilized by adding the D vitamins.
Studies are ongoing that prove the Blood Pressure is better regulated when normal levels of Vitamin D exist in the body.
OVERCOMING FEAR
There is so much to learn in helping to heal oneself. As we are all different, the technique that may work for me, may be different for you.
Overcoming FEAR. You would think the medical staff would sit and chat with you about these things but as they are so rushed they just do not seem to have the time. Another thing is that they do not understand the emotions cancer patients go through. They think they do, but not all can relate, to what you are going through.
It is perfectly normal to suffer fear after a diagnosis of Cancer or other life threatning illness.
This is almost the same as the 5 stages of grieving. Anger and Fear being at the top of the list. Through meditation, prayer for those who believe in it, and talking with a loved one or close friend, fear can be conquered. It takes time and practise. Deep breathing while meditating is relaxing. Focus on what you are afraid of, See yourself overcoming this fear and that you feel wonderful and happy. You can control what you eat, the medications you take, and the outcome is always unkown. So instead of focusing on the negative side TRY and see something serene. I choose a lake and a sunset, I imagine nothing can hurt me while sitting there. After a while you begin to believe that you can let go of the "What ifs" and it is amazing when you realize you do not have to focus on the negative outcome.
In Western society "Death" is often portrayed in a fearful way. Remember we are what we believe.
FORGIVENESS.
You might wonder what Forgiveness has to do with cancer but this is a very basic need in the path to wellness. This incorporates imagined wrongs, real wrongs, or our justification to blame others.
When one is first diagnosed with cancer one is in shock, disbelief, anger and denial. A spiritual friend taught me the necessity of forgiveness. This relieves so much stress it is quite a wonderful feeling.
Is this an easy thing to do? NO. Does it take time? YES How can this be accomplished? There are many ways. For me it was meditation, relaxation techniques and prayer. Not everyone will believe in prayer but use the tools that suit you best.
Take the time to go over your life, from as far back as you can remember. It is amazing the things we hang onto. We like to blame others for our problems in life, but looking to self, and removing the negative things, are wonderful goals to achieve. One has to truly mean the forgiveness and not revisit the imagined or real wrongs. Let it go. No one said this life would be fair and many times it is not.
Every family or friend has those "special" ones who hang onto their "injustices" for so long they really believe that that are right and no matter what you do, you cannot get through to them.
We all have friends and family like that. I like to believe that I can be in touch with them, unless they are verbally abusive, however I do pray for them. Does that make me better than they are,lt is not necessarily so, but I am happier and healthier for it. Some have grievances for so long one cannot even remember what it was about. That is so sad.
There is so much going on in the world we have to forgive those that lead us who have done so much wrong. Now that is hard. We have to place ourselves in serenity to keep those negative daily influences from our thoughts.
A simple prayer or incantation to start the day " Lord give me the serenity to make it through today with peace, and I fill my soul with your divine spirit and allow only good energy to come into my soul today." Not all of you pray to the same God but use whomever you are comfortable with.
When faced with Angst, worry or threat, through out the day repeat the little mantra or make one of your own.
I have to constantly take my own advice!!!!
"God..or.......... Bless you and keep and may his face shine upon you and give you peace."

A guide to Meditation Music
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
I am a cancer survivor who has seen both sides of the healing systems, natural and Traditonal Western Healing. I was a RN for many years and the last 3 years I spent opening a Womens Oncology unit in a Major hospital for a world renowened doctor.
This site is for those who wish to learn more about natural healing. I have a lot of information if you take the time to check it out. I am a 7 year survivor of end stage Multiple Myeloma. You ask if it was end stage why are you still here. A miracle occured, that is how I am still here. Supplements, prayer, love and all the things I mention have helped me stay and be reasonably healthy. I had a relapse in 2009 and one again in May of this year. I am finishing my radiation in a week and all should be back to normal by June. I have a rarer form Of Multiple Myeloma where I do not secrete the cancer markers into the blood. I can only be aware of the cancer returning when something goes wrong. i.e. I broke my arm and that was where the MM showed up in May.
I hope you take the time to read what I have posted as this is a work in progress. Working out how best to present the information. One of the best forums on cancer is at www.cancercompas.com it covers every type. The cancer patients, their friends and care givers post daily. The latest information is always available. These are people who seek answers themselves and do not rely on just what the doctor says. I hope you have a good month! Music and Laughter are very important tools in the recovery from any illness.
I can quote all the technical aspect but felt there is a need for simplistic help in healing.
This is my personal experience. Be sure to
check with your health care provider. to see what works for you.

Update on My Myeloma May 2012 /update 5/17/2012
Read the begining of my story under my cancer story.
I last wrote on this page in August of 2011. Due to many factors, Including my hosting company shutting me out of this site for months, (They sold to a big corporation and I have just this week been able to publish again) I will endeavor to reveal my progress.
My blog has more of a running commentary on what happened up till now.
I am very grateful to say the good Lord watched over me last year and has brought me to a place where I am now able to get the MM to slow down. The biggest problem was my bone was attacked by the MM and holes began appearing. It started last January and I was not aware of it till March. 2 broken arms later (They do not patch for broken arms these days unless it is a big break), Mine was near each elbow and no treatment was available. I had hit my one arm on the doorway and wondered why it hurt so much. Hmmm...forget wjat sparked the other one. Then the holes began appearing in my femur. Mind you had them all over, head, back, pelvis etc but we only dealt with the large ones. Radiation was the treatment and finally a rod in each femur and one in the humerus. I am now carefully back on my feet. I use a walker for safety and my poor back does not support me too well, but I am thankful. Lots of pain and pain meds etc. Terrible side effects from the radiation but I survived. My Poly MVA kept me going I finally went back on large doses and it began to slow the MM down. Unfortunately it was not enough. Now comes the part I never thought I would have to do but it was that or nothing. The polymva is still working but MM is so vicious it never gives up.
I started chemo 1 month ago but held out till they found a milder form, Velcade given subcutaneous ( under the skin) once a week. Yes they put other drugs with it but I do not take them, the Velcade is working well, so far on its own. It is a much milder dose and cuts the side effects waaay down and improves the efficiency of the chemo. I am not without some side effects but the polymva along with the Velcade is doing very well. i have not taken a pain pill in 6 weeks and here I am able to concentrate to do this. Can even do some housework, even if it light and cook a few meals. i am still a great believer in the natural supplements, and especially with this disease it needs a lot thrown at it.
For those who have had successful stem cells transplants, they need less to keep it in check, but that was not on my dance card.
We are all responsible for taking responsibility for our health, take charge and the outcome will improve.
Remember we are all different and what worked for me may not work for you, however keep trying to get it right. Blessings on all of you and may you be healed.
Update 5/17/2012
My second month of trying the chemotherapy, with one week off. Unfortunately I had lots of side effects. My heart rate accelerated to 130+, I had to take heart pills to get it back to normal. Excessive diarrahea, faintness, loss of potassium. Unfortunately I have a potassium wasting disease to begin with so this made it worse. Then my feet and legs swelled to double their normal size, and became so tight, I had to figure out how to get all that fluid out!
I finally had things working again, to my surprise my White cells came up 1 whole step, My hematacrit and Red Cells lowered but still almost normal. You ask why? I had double my natural supplements and one new one. This is what is helping my body cope with the chemo. With this in mind the doctor cut the dose dramaticlly and so far this week, much better. One must look out for oneself!!!
