    Our oldest son was 55 yrs. old when he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The doctors said he may have only 6 months to live. A decision was made to have what's called Whipple surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. The operation took 11 to 11.5 hrs.and six weeks of Chemo treatment afterwords. For a short period he appeared to be slightly better but things went downhill and many symptoms of various stages progressed with much pain and agony, but he fought to keep going and kept hoping for some sort of a clinical trial or treatment although a blockage or something developed as he struggled with this for 15 months with much various pain medicines administered and then a tube placed was placed in his stomach for liquid nutrient as could no longer eat solid food and another tube for the bile. He has passed on after 15 months of the Whipple surgery at the age of 56 years old August 21st 2022. We should all encourage and pray that more development and research be done into this dreaded cancer and others.

    Pancreatic Cancer treatment (Chemo is killing you slowly but surely) 1. B-17 intravenous (Apricots from God is a company many use to buy their capsules and in 1 capsules you get the equivalent of what is in 250 Apricot Seeds.) 2. Gerson Therapy - on a remission one should still be on this therapy 3. Foods that kill pancreatic cancer - Broccoli, Tomatoes, Egg Plant, wheat Grass, Turmeric, Grapefruit, Garlic, Kale, Dark Seeded Grapes, Limes, Dandelion root, black seed oil, Carrot juice, Oatmeal, Red Grapes, Blueberries, Cabbage, use only Himalayan Salt 4. Coffe Colonics (Coffee Enema) 5 times a day 5. DMSO 6. Megadose of Vitamin C 7. Pancreatic Enzymes therapy 8. Oasis of Hope Hospital (Dr. Francisco Contreras, Oasis of Hope Hospital, Mexico) - Anyone wishing to have treatment at the hospital should contact Admissions. 00 52 664 631 6100. It is best to fly to San Diego International Airport in California, where a driver from the Oasis of Hope meets patients from the airport with a comfortable mini-bus shown in this picture. There is then a 35 minute drive to the Hospital through the border into Mexico. Because of USA immigration checks for illegal immigrants trying to enter the States, it takes longer to cross back into America; but sitting comfortably in the air-conditioned bus with a protective, English speaking Mexican driver makes this easy.

    I first would like to say to say to Paddy Mac, keep your comments to yourself, if you do not believe, keep moving... You do not have to believe in anything you do not want to believe in, but mind your business and keep moving. I love you Kay for all your determination, your strength, your shared kindness, and your inspiration to all of us who believe in you and who in fact believes in God!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it really sets my sole at ease. God bless your sole and your heart to this world, I am sure you have helped many people spiritually, openly, and personally. You have given me faith, spiritually from watching this video, I only wish that I could find any source to contact you personally. xox
