Many of you know, I was contacted for assistance last week by a gal that was in the horrorspital, after having 3 weeks of digestive distress and 3 days of vomiting. She entered the ER with kidney failure from the dehydration - they later informed her she had MALT Lymphoma, then changed their diagnosis to Sarcoma. She has an 8mm tumor around/under the stomach blocking the flow of food or fluids to the intestinal tract.
"They" want to gut her (carve out the mass, part of her stomach and several feet of intestines), and then start with agressive chemo. She (and me) would rather be agressive in a healing kind of way.
She checked out yesterday afternoon (against doctor's wishes, of course), and there has been no reduction in tumor size, so she cannot hydrate or nourish herself by mouth. (Just fyi, the ONLY nutrition she received was a saline IV with a potassium 'bump' occasionally - salt feeds tumors, so likely the mass has grown slightly). (DUH doctors)
She is going to be hydrating & nourishing herself rectally, while starting as much of the IP as she can (which is still a LOT). I want you to know, this woman has GUTS - she has courage, she has strength, and she CAN beat this!
BUT, she has absolutely no experience with enemas or high enemas (which is how she must hydrate & nourish herself...through "implants" of water, superfood, slippery elm & juices) into the descending/transverse/ascending colon) . Her life depends upon learning to do high or semi-high enemas today & tomorrow to keep herself hydrated. She has already fought an exhausting battle in the hospital this last week, and she must find her inner strength to make SURE she stays hydrated...or else she we have to go back to the wolves for rehydration (most of you know, that if she has to go back, it will be almost impossible to avoid surgery & chemo).
What she needs to do: She needs to insert enema tubing as far up and close to her transverse colon as she can, and she needs to successfully implant 2 cups of fluid there (or past there) 8x a day (or 4 cups 4x a day, or 8 cups 2x a day...or even one cup 16x a day...that's a gallon, but she might be able to get by with just HALF that much). When she got home tonight, she did a bit of experimenting and went to bed to get some MUCH needed sleep! If she can get this going and retain just two cups of solution a few times today (or even a cup, several times), she'll likely have the battle won (and the rest is just "practice" & experience).
What I'm requesting YOU to do? Support this valiant woman with not only your prayers (a lot of those), but with your love and with your actions. I want EVERYBODY on this forum that has an enema kit and tubing (sometime today), to provide REAL, tangible loving solidarity and support... that she can truly see, feel and know (she will be reading this thread). I want each of you to make a warm water solution (add anything or nothing), do a quick 'cleanse enema' (or two might be needed), then insert your tubing as far as you can (gently and safely) and implant 1-2 cups of water...and prove to yourself and to her that she CAN retain 1-2 cups of water if implanted high enough, for long enough for most of it to assimilate! And then POST for her to see, your positive results and support, so that she can see today... that if she keeps trying, she CAN do this!!! And so that she can KNOW that there are people out there that love and support her decision.
Folks, we ALL remember our first enemas...can you IMAGINE how scary it would be if you knew your very life depended upon learning to implant and retain ANY 'amount of cups' of solution in ONE DAY? This day is VITAL to one of your human sisters that has chosen to FIGHT for her right to take responsibility for her OWN BODY & LIFE!!.
THIS DAY, you CAN make a HUGE difference in someone elses life, and YOU CAN BE A HEALER! You can sending your healing power from the spirit within you; you can ask for healing power from "God" (which I think IS the healing power within you), and you can offer loving support and/or tangible support by learning & doing right along with her!
Folks, if I can do what I've done in this past month to help you/others, I pray you think I have the right to ask you to do this for someone else. Yes, this tiny forum is in it's infancy, but I KNOW that most everyone posting on this forum can easily take an hour to MAKE A DIFFERENCE - and I guarantee you, posting your experiences and your support WILL make difference! And you know, if after you do a lil' cleansing enema and do a 'two cupper', if you can'tretain 2 cups of fluid for long enough to assimilate, then expel and try it again (which most people HAVE to do for a high enena anyway). There really is someone out there reading this for whom it MATTERS! And this precious woman IS someones wife, someones mother, and someones daughter - and someday this woman that you don't know, might be YOUR wife, YOUR mother or YOUR daughter. Wouldn't it be WONDERFUL if "she" could come here for love & support?
I'm off to have a refreshing, hydrating 'glass of water' rectally - bottoms up! :)
