I've already asked you guys to do this before .. but if you haven't yet i'd be throughly disappointed.. so take this opportunity to make it up..
donate @ onematch
please take the time, cause some people aren't as lucky; and who knows, you could be that one in a million chance for somebody.
and for those of you out there who want to give some quick and easy advise to a friend with leukemia or any type of cancer i've copied a response of someone who asked for some advise.
"...I am familiar with OneMatch.. In fact a good friend of mine had started a
facebook page when I relapsed. So i would start there.. it's a quick
and easy way to gain awareness; start a page and send it to everyone.
Another suggestion, if transplant is an option, there are
different types of transplants. I'm not familiar with the details..
but have them look at this site and ask their doctor about the
different types of transplants:

and like always, diet is super important.. if you look at statistics
people who change their diet for the better have a larger chance of
staying in remission. The diet I follow is no processed sugar, i.e.
anything from cane, corn syrup, anything that ends in -ose for
instance fructose, dextrose, glucose. The best policy is anything that
is naturally sweet is ok i.e. honey, maple, stevia, agave. I have also
introduced a variety of vegetables into my diet because everything has
a specific purpose. One of the main ideas is that disease doesn't like
oxygen so you introduce leafy greens that are have chlorophyl. The
ones with the most are spinach, kale and parsley. Here is a link from
my blog, at the bottom is a recipe i drink everyday
http://www.icanparkhere.com/2010/11/26-and-counting.html . and you can
always adjust to how the individual would like it.
Introduce super foods.. they have a multiple of good things about
them.. everyone has a different opinion on what they are.. but you see
some that appear on all of them. Here are a couple of sites that I thought
were the better representation of them.

Most likely there are probably getting all types of suggestions from
all their friends.. and you don't know which to believe because some
suggestions contradict each other. What I found best to filter them
was just do the research yourself.. Because once you get a suggestion
in your email you can quickly identify it for yourself as it being
something sound or not. Plus you would have probably read the
suggestion before someone sent it to you...."

Hope you get better Krisy & Jenn =)
Thanks for the suggestion/reminder to donate. As a result I've signed up for the US and Ioana may do the same soon, even though we won't be in the country much longer.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if one day we as a civilization will mature to the point that it becomes almost routine or mandatory to provide information like this just knowing that you could help someone one day... That would be a nice thought anyway.
All the best
