Dear ones:

Is this a Freudian slip, or what- in the subject line, I just wrote "Incredibles Program" instead of Incurables! LOL It has been one incredible journey!

I had a fine day yesterday, then last night I got very discouraged. I was thinking I was doing something wrong, because I couldn't run yet. I wanted to run, I could feel myself chomping at the bit to run, but my legs wouldn't do it for me. Also, John was in a funky mood, and I couldn't pull him out of it.

I used to live on the Gulf Coast, both in Houston and Louisiana. Especially in Louisiana, "storms" are a way of life. We learned quickly that a "storm" in Louisiana meant a hurricane. When it looked like a storm was headed our way, everyone would "make a run" to the grocery store for ice, batteries, bottled water, tuna fish, and bread. We would get tape for the windows and maybe boards if the storm was a bad one. We'd have gas powered chainsaws to use if tree limbs got torn down from high winds. Then we would just wait, to see where the storm would come inland.

We only got stuck in a bad storm once, Hurricane Andrew. You wouldn't believe how the trees were bending low to the ground from that wind! And water just kept coming. Flooding was bad everywhere, rooftops and billboards were torn up.... The cleanup took a month or more.

I'm telling you this b/c sometimes personal storms come up in your own life and it's good to know how to manage them. You "batten down the hatches" and ride through the storm. You set your face into the wind, bend over, and walk into the wind, b/c if you walk with your back to the wind it will knock you over. You learn that you'll get wet, but you won't melt and your clothes can be thrown in the dryer.

Today we had to stay home from church. John had passed his tolerance point for house messiness, and we had all hands on deck getting it back in order. It is much better looking now, and we're working on catching up with the laundry.

I got tangled up between the text written in Dr. Schulze 's There Are No Incurable Diseases and the text on his website in his patient handbook . There are some things mentioned in one that are not mentioned in the other. Today I found out there were other things mentioned in the videos (which I don't have) that I could be doing. I felt like I was failing because I wasn't doing everything I could be doing. Plus I thought I should be kickboxing by now.

Fortunately, my Curezone buds were there for me, and are still here with me now. There are people all over the planet praying and "gunning" for me. I am so grateful for all of you. I feel like I can face into the wind and keep going now.

This is not a little hiccough of a disease I am dealing with. I have made great and important strides in my health in just three short weeks. I have to remember that I was guzzling espressos and helping myself to another serving of brisket just a month ago.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for caring about me. I love you all so much. I wish I could hug each one of you and tell you I love you in person.

Rich blessings to all of you,
-Donna
