My Bone Marrow is no longer making enough white and red cells

Was just in the hospital. Had to receive transfusions of blood. They say I need a bone marrow biopsy but I am already in the last stage of heart failure so who cares!

A marrow biopsy won't make your day but it's not that bad, either. If they can come up with a diagnosis and give you something like a B-12 or erythropoietin shot every month or a daily prescription strength thiamine tab that has you feeling a lot better, might it not be worth it?

I have chronic illness, too, and it would be a very hard sell to get me to accept any heroic treatment, at all. However, this could be a really minor and easy to fix problem.

I see my oncologist tomorrow and we will schedule the biopsy and get it out of the way. Better to know at this point than to run away from it.

I posted an article on honey and cinnamon somewhere on here and another forum. Basically, eat three tspns of honey with one tspn cassia cinnamon three times a day. You can spread this on toast or just take in out of the spoon. Warning, cinnamon can be difficult to get down without being mixed in the honey. You can also make hot tea and dissolve the honey and cinnamon in the tea. You should do this about three times a day.

I am posting additional info which explains why this is good for you, with the added info. on organic sulfur crystals.

The following was not written by me, but posted on a health forum from a naturalists in Hawaii.



REGARDING CINNAMON

The cinnamon powder that you get in the super markets could very well be sawdust that has been colored and artificially flavored. I think it is better to get the bark and powder it yourself or but it from a reputable natural food store. Most spices are irradiated. This is supposedly done to eradicate bacteria, but spices are generally excellent bactericides so the irradiation is merely a way of destroying the precious properties of spices. Non-irradiated spices are available from most high-end health foods stores. Cinnamon can be confused for cassia and in fact many powdered forms use cassia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassia). It is also known as "bastard cinnamon". True cinnamon is also known as "Ceylon" cinnamon. There are other variants such as Indonesian and Vietnamese so avoid anything that is from these countries. Specifically ask for Ceylon Cinnamon. Cinnamomum zeylanicum is the botanical name for the purest and most potent form of cinnamon.

Not long ago I wrote an article for naturalnews on the 21 Reasons To Try Organic Sulfur Crystals. See if you notice the similarities in benefits.

1. Organic sulfur is not a drug or prescription medicine, but rather a nutrient that the body is deprived of.

2. It increases enzyme production within the glands of the body, substantially increasing resistance to illness.

3. It increases flexibility in the tissues within the body and increases blood circulation.

4. It reduces muscle and joint inflammation, promotes healing in the muscles and joints and prevents them from becoming sore. To the degree there is soreness, recovery and return to normality is quickened. Athletes, in particular, benefit from this as the intake of OS dramatically increases their recovery time.

5. It eliminates "free radicals" in the body. Allergies to pollens ad certain foods can be eliminated or reduced by its use.

6. It promotes healthy, increased growth of hair and fingernails.

7. Because of the oxygenation of the cells and tissues that the OS facilitates, the body is kept in a constant aerobic environment making it so that cancer cells cannot survive or exist.

8. Studies have shown it can help reverse symptoms of osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

9. It aids in healthy skin production and the reduction of "wrinkles". It is one of the main ingredients in moisturizing creams.

10. It helps the body properly regulate insulin production. Adequate OS in the diet may reduce the amount of insulin injections.

11. It helps alleviate chronic headaches and migraines. Increased circulation in the brain cells promotes proper blood circulation within the brain. Less pressure and pain result, reducing tendencies for headaches.

12. It helps alleviate emphysema by providing the body with material to manufacture new, healthy cells on lung walls.

13. Because of the ability to make cell walls more permeable. OS causes the body to rapidly release and reduce alcohol "hangover" toxins, removing them as waste from the body. The process quickens recovery time from a "hangover", often as quickly as 20 minutes.

14. It helps in reducing and often eliminating diverticulitis. Parasites living in the intestines are unable to remain attached to the walls due to the slippery coating that the OS produces. Because of this, hatching parasitic worms are flushed out as well because they cannot attach to the walls.

15. It reduces hypoglycemia in the body because it has made it easier for the body to introduce blood sugar through more permeable cell walls. Less insulin is demanded for the process, resulting in less overuse of the pancreas. Within several months of constant usage, OS can reduce or eliminate hypoglycemia entirely.

16. It helps alleviate PMS. Glandular production is enhanced by OS to have more "normal" levels of production. Acid, enzyme, and hormonal levels are more evenly balanced facilitating reduction of cramps, headaches, and nausea associated with the monthly cycle.

17. It helps promote better kidney function more efficiently. Water retention problems associated with poor kidney function can be alleviated.

18. It can help alleviate eye problems. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of the sulfur crystals in 4 ounces of water and use as eye drops as frequently as you like.

19. OS delivers the essential omega-3 throughout the body and also allows the body to produce vitamin B-12.

20. It has amazingly reversed countless cases of asthma and 18 cases of autism that we know about so far.

21. Last and certainly not least, it eliminates the continued need for Viagra or Cialis by reversing erectile dysfunction.

This is by far the ONLY substance that can remove the poisons from pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, and other toxins. You can find out more by going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com and going to Products and Services.

Oh yeah, the Opti product does not work because they add the synthetic silicon dioxide, whereby all synthetics kill all the benefits.

Aloha!
