I spent 4 hours one day just getting the right shade of brown on the upper shoulder. Mixing paint wasn't easy.

Wow, great job. Am I understanding that this is the first time you ever painted anything? or have you always
demonstrated artistic ability? It's damn good...I actually have a BFA...so I am qualified to
say that. Damn good!

Backing the story up a bit, a friend of mine bought an airbrush to paint some stuff on T-shirts. He didn't read so well so he dropped the Badger airbrush and a Badger how to paint book off and I studied it. My truck at the time was pretty much ready for the junk yard, the tailgate brackets had rusted off, so I suggested that we take the sample painting in the book and do a test shot on my tailgate. Let me dig up a shot of the tailgate.

This is the tailgate, and that's the practice piece right outta the book that they give you to learn how to shade, layer, cut, and blend. I had a friend paint the tailgate black, the truck was originally blue. I taped off a section to paint it white where the pic is. Then went to town, I did everything but the tree. I let my friend try his hand at that, didn't come out so good. I used that shot as a guide to extend the mountainside on the meatloaf side of the truck.

I priced new doors and fenders, and they were cheap. 200 for a new door, 75 dollars for a front fender and a little over 300 dollars for the new bedside. So I bought all new parts and painted them and replaced the old rotted parts one at a time.

Here is a shot with the fender skirt over the rear wheel. That piece over the rear tire was for both looks and to give it the illusion of not being so high. The truck lift and tires were not legal size, so I created the illusion that they were by dropping the body lines. That piece fell off while in Waterville one day, I never found it.

Back to the video.
Like I said, how perfect was that find from Missminni. The opening message scrolling across the screen, “I’m still Alive”, breakaway to a man on a motorcycle. Check out the imagery. Motorcycle ripping through with demons chasing the bike.
The opening words, how fitting…
“I'm still alive, Must have been a miracle, It's been a hell of ride, Destination still unknown.”
My Destination is still very much unknown.

The next lines, how true,
It's a fact of life, If you make one wrong move with the gun to your head, You better walk the line or you'll be left for dead.”
And that’s my life right now, if I don’t get program right to fight this cancer, I will be left for dead. Because I am as the song says, “Oh, a dead man walking the wire, High above the devils net, That's made of fire.”

Glad I found that video.
As for walking the wire, you have a window of opportunity now to get a program going and
to get as much resveratrol into your system as you can. I do hope you won't nix the vit C because of the difficulty factor. Now that there will be funds available, I think a home visit wouldn't be hard to arrange and it has a great track record. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. You need to attack this from every angle. The zerumbone should help to, although from what I understand you shouldn't do more than the 100 mg dose.
With the resveratrol you can do up to 5 gr at a time (more than that won't be productive) as frequently as
you can.
With Minni, in the beginning, I gave it to her every chance I got. I just flooded her system with it.
And eat as much food as you can while you can. If you have a grocery store nearby, there is canned wild alaskan salmon by Bumble Bee that is only $2.50 for a 15 ounce can and would be a good source of protein.
Also, canned pumpkin that is just mashed pumpkin, no other ingredients, would probably be a good addition
to your diet. It's also very inexpensive and one of the super foods, like tomatoes.

The nutrients in pumpkin are really world class. Extremely high in fiber and low in calories, pumpkin packs an abundance of disease-fighting nutrients, including potassium, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and vitamins C and E. The key nutrient that boosts pumpkin to the top of the SuperFoods list is the synergistic combination of carotenoids. Pumpkin contains one of the richest supplies of bioavailable carotenoids known to man. Indeed, a half-cup serving of pumpkin gives you more than two times my recommended daily dietary intake of alpha-carotene and zoo percent of my recommended daily dietary goal of beta-carotene. When you realize (he tremendous benefits of these nutrients, you’ll see why pumpkin is such an extraordinary nutrition superstar.

And consider putting some apple cider vinegar in your water...just a tsp in a glass...it's actually pleasant tasting when so diluted.
It can't hurt and will keep your PH balanced.

P

All of the posts were positive and we were steam rolling ahead with the rescue effort and along comes post 70. Shannon wrote “you all probably realize his Doctor has given him only 2 or 3 months to live now...”. I got a few PM’s on this one, we all kind of took this to mean something like, hey, I don’t think he’s going to make it, or, hey, your donating to someone who isn’t going to be around long. “You might be wasting your money” this was the take home message as far as a few of us were concerned. Of course, we might have misunderstood, the full quote was “you all probably realize his Doctor has given him only 2 or 3 months to live now...this breaks my heart, and I hope all here will do what they can...”

I had to probe this a little further so I wrote “I have a cute little post waiting in case I'm still alive on Nov 1st, should I beat that deadline. What do you think the odds are you'll get to read that post?”

Shannons flat response was “umm poor,” I started wondering what everyone thought about my odds. I like honest answers to that, good or bad, so I wasn’t offended that Shannon thought my chances were poor, but Shannons posts were the sole inspirations to start this thread.


TFM I was at one of my mother's best friend's memorial tonight, we'd talked cryonics along with politics the weather and such in the past, she'd been to my home, I'd been to Thanksgivings at my moms that she was at. She died unexpectedly at 56 years old, seemingly in good health, contracted a disease--my mom was the one who found her dead, and had called me when she did a few weeks ago. I was touched by the service and told the audience tonight how she was an inspiration to me for living in the now, how the first time I met her she took the time to talk with each of my kids--sat down and spent 20 minutes with my then 5 year old. I at no point considered what I said about the shocking news of your diagnosis to be something that would detract from anything that people would donate, on the contrary I felt it would help people to donate more. Through this all, I've been hoping and still hope that you'll kick it--- you have a diagnosis, you are fighting--this is not something that hit you out of the blue, like my moms friend. Your Doctors did give you a poor prognosis, and you've not been compiling a bucket list, you've been fighting. You've taught many here at ImmInst. I want you to sign the Venturist papers in case something unexpected happens. I think having anyone there as an advocate to help you with what you want help with is a great idea, and some here have volunteered -you may be able to take someone from here up on it, or you may have adequate help there.

Many here have given help in the comments and research they've added, great things to try and if you kick it I fully expect you to join leadership. Even so you will always be honored for all you gave in the past, at the beginning of ImmInst and almost single handedly financing the first conference.

Thank you for putting up the pictures of your artwork, very awesome and truly amazing that you did it 516 hours.

I do hope you won't nix the vit C because of the difficulty factor.

After reading one of K10's link, I was thinking about busting out that 5 pound batch and experimenting with oral delivery, at least for the meantime until the IV solution presents itself.

And eat as much food as you can while you can. If you have a grocery store nearby, there is canned wild alaskan salmon by Bumble Bee that is only $2.50 for a 15 ounce can and would be a good source of protein.

OK Struct, getting of the path here a bit. Page 2 I left off at the Oct 13 report.
By Oct 23 my health tanked in a big way, I wrote “My apologies for taking so long to get back here. My Karnof score tanked and I’ve had several health issues that have derailed me.” By Oct 28 I had another announcement, and wrote “First quick update. Early this evening I had another minor cardiac event.”

The tumor was wrapping itself around my left atrium and closing down my heart. I’ve been through this before, it’s what my tumor does when it gets large. I had several minor events over the next few days, still, Nov 1st was in my sight and I was looking at the red tape at the finishing line.

My sense of Bravado was coming back, and just before I went to bed early Oct 31st I bumped up all of my threads with an invitation to the Death Watch thread.

You are all invited to attend services for William O’Rights.
Location: DEATHWATCH Thread.
Time: Shortly after Midnight, early Nov. 1st.
Refreshments: Meatloaf will be served; you will have to bring your own wine.
Host: Rev. William Constitution O’Rights.

The darkest night ain't black enough to keep the morning light from shining,
The highest wall ain't tall enough to keep the smallest man from climbing,
The more that you resist the tide, The more it pulls you in, The more you hang on for your life…

I was going to make it, I was going to beat the clock. I set up my post a half hour early, I was nervous and exited at the same time. It takes a lot to get me exited, I’m generally fairly calm, but I had been waiting for this moment for a bit, so I was in a highly exited state. My heart started racing, I was starting to have another cardiac event. I tried to ignore it, with 20 minutes to go. At 15 minutes to go the event wasn’t getting any better, and I could feel the right side of my face getting numb. I was having stroke like symptoms, and I was beginning to panic. I’m not the type to panic easily, trust me Struct, it takes a lot to rattle my cage. 10 minutes to go my face was twitching, I was sweating and a sudden overwhelming fear set in, I became frantic. Gone was my brashness and confidence, I was having a major cardiac event. With 10 minutes to go I reached over and grabbed my phone, I was terrified. Phone in my left hand ready to dial 911, mouse in my right hand ready to put the post up, I sat there for 10 minutes full of apprehension, dread and fright, but the clock struck midnight and I launched the post. Shortly after my heart started to calm down to a normal heartbeat.

So others might be offended by your post “I think he is going to die on the night of Dec. 31, 2008 when most of the people are going to celebrate the comming of 2009” but like I said, that brings back memories of October 31st, because for a moment, I thought that might happen then.

Live Long and Well Struct.

Thats a great idea...just mix it in water. I know you know this, but just in case you forgot, too much
Vit C can cause diahhrea, so don't go over 5 g at a time.

And eat as much food as you can while you can. If you have a grocery store nearby, there is canned wild alaskan salmon by Bumble Bee that is only $2.50 for a 15 ounce can and would be a good source of protein.

LOL, That's the one where you eat anything you want...I've been on it since Christmas...it will certainly put the pounds on. I am proof of that. Go for it.

You never wrote about that before. Wow, if there was ever a case of mind of matter, this is it.
Keeping this in mind, I know you can cure yourself of cancer too. Most importantly, do not let them do any drastic chemo....just
keep it the same dose as the last time....and double check cause I don't trust Kurt. Like before they put the freakin needle in
your arm, check out the strength of the solution and make sure it doesn't exceed this last dose. This last dose was perfect.
I'm so excited about this. When do they do the chemo again and is there anyway you can actually allow more time in between
chemo so you can build yourself back up before. Maybe talking to Kurt about how well you
are doing and flattering him in the process, because flattery WILL get you somewhere, of that I am sure, and asking him how much
time you can have between chemo sessions and let him know how well you are doing right now and if the inbetween times could
be lengthened so improvement could continue before they zap it again might encourage him to work a bit more out of the box,
since he would share the credit for your success. Thanking him, as hard as that may be, might psychologically influence him
to be more amenable to your suggestions. Sorry if I am sounding naive here, but it's worth a shot.

I'm not worried about diahhrea, when your sick or with cancer the bowel tolerance issue is seldom ever present. As for water mix, I'm on chemo right now and can't drink water plain because of the chemo taste in my mouth. I'm going to have to find some type of mix to get it down. I'm not overly worried about that.

LOL, That's the one where you eat anything you want...I've been on it since Christmas...it will certainly put the pounds on. I am proof of that. Go for it.

Hm... for "a second" I really thought you were a "tough guy". Do you think you'll be OK (no panicking) tomorrow, Dec. 31, or would you like me to take my deathline guess back?

Excuse me for butting in here, but exactly what do you mean you thought he was a tough guy? Surely you don't think he isn't?
He's tougher than you or anyone else I know would ever be in such a dire situation. And his toughness comes from intelligence and
inner strength, not from obnoxious bragging and acting like an ass. And I hope you really don't think that your insensitive and
stupid deadline post upsets or worries him. Believe me it doesn't. It amuses him, which is a lot more than I can say for how I feel
about it.

The schedule is 3 weeks on 1 off than repeat. I'm behind because of the Christmas holiday, I should have gotten one last Friday. I'm feeling a little more constriction in my swallowing right now, I called yesterday for the next appointment, have not heard back yet. And I'm not flattering Kurt, and yeah, your being a little naive on this one. He has a dosing schedule, he isn't going to go against it. I could tell him he's great or call him an asshole, it's not going to change the dosing amount or the time frames in which I get the doses.

to be more amenable to your suggestions. Sorry if I am sounding naive here, but it's worth a shot.

The schedule is 3 weeks on 1 off than repeat. I'm behind because of the Christmas holiday, I should have gotten one last Friday. I'm feeling a little more constriction in my swallowing right now, I called yesterday for the next appointment, have not heard back yet. And I'm not flattering Kurt, and yeah, your being a little naive on this one. He has a dosing schedule, he isn't going to go against it. I could tell him he's great or call him an asshole, it's not going to change the dosing amount or the time frames in which I get the doses.


Sorry if you already explained this... but why are you still seeing Kurt if he is so inflexible? There are other oncologists out there...

& On page 18 of "Fighting Cancer" you posted two articles on Insulin Potentiation Therapy... did you discuss this with your doctor or attempt to have it done?

If You are Currently On Chemotherapy
Almost all alternative cancer treatments can be used by someone still on chemotherapy. However, there are two alternative cancer treatments that are very effective for those on chemotherapy. One of them is the Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol and the other is oleander pills. More is said about these two treatments below.




If You are Contemplating Chemotherapy
For those who are not on chemotherapy yet, but who are contemplating chemotherapy, there is a chemotherapy treatment, administered by an M.D., which is a very good treatment. It is the Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT). It combines very low doses of chemotherapy with insulin.

Why do they use very low doses of chemotherapy? The reason is that the insulin opens up the cell membranes of cancer cells so that the chemotherapy will target the cancer cells and leave the healthy cells alone. Because this treatment allows chemotherapy to target cancer cells, very low doses of chemotherapy are used and there are virtually zero side-effects. It uses about 1/10th as much chemotherapy as a normal chemotherapy treatment, but more importantly it allows the chemotherapy to target cancer cells, thus eliminating side-effects.

The reason I mention this is because some families of a cancer patient insist the person use a medical doctor and chemotherapy. Fine, use IPT. IPT is one of the orthodox cancer treatments which can cure cancer. Orthodox medicine does not allow its use in most states so you may have to do some traveling.

Here is an article on IPT:
Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)

There is an even better orthodox cancer treatment than IPT which uses chemotherapy; but it is not allowed in any state. In fact, the last medical doctor to use it was raided and shut down by the FDA.

Also, note that the German cancer clinics use hyperthermia with very low doses of chemotherapy. They are another option for families which insist on chemotherapy. A link to a list of clinics will be given later in this article.


Supercharging This Treatment
The best way to supercharge this treatment is to find a clinic that combines IPT with DMSO Potentiation Therapy (DPT). DMSO binds to chemotherapy, then insulin opens up the membranes of the cancer cells to the chemotherapy. It is a potent combination of treatments! It was mentioned above that the FDA shut down DMSO Potentiation Therapy in the United States. See:
DMSO Potentiation Therapy (DPT)





I'm curious either why you chose not to do these treatments with the chemo, or why your doctor refused it.

Cheers.

EDIT: Silly me.

Orthodox medicine does not allow its use in most states so you may have to do some traveling.

Shame :(

I don't think he can be effectively be considered dead if he is cryonically preserved thus this thread would have to be exponentially extended.

Hm... for "a second" I really thought you were a "tough guy". Do you think you'll be OK (no panicking) tomorrow, Dec. 31, or would you like me to take my deathline guess back?


Struct, I’m not trying to be a “tough guy”. I’m just a Life Extensionist/Immortalist trying to make it into the future. You’re very knowledgeable about cryonics, so you know what time a day it is when it comes to what I’m trying to get done here.

Now, as far as Jan 1st goes, I got 2 special posts videos with you in mind. I’m not really sweating this deadline, I’m not having any heart related problems, and my lungs are not filled with fluid, so I’m fairly confident about seeing the New Year.

My first video pick for you, I’ll give you a little info on, the symbolism at the beginning is two warriors meeting on a battlefield, kinda representing our square off so to speak. The background music is set to music that is very similar to the Siege of Camylied. The two warriors draw swords, what happens after that. Well, you’ll have to watch the video; even then, I’m not sure you’ll catch the symbolism in it. I know you got Brass, I’m pretty sure you got the brains to figure it out too, we’ll see. I think you’ll like it. If not, 10 minutes after midnight I’m going to post video 2, I know for a fact that you’ll like and appreciate the second piece.

As for taking your deathline guess back, why if I didn’t know you better I would say you’re trying to back down from your prediction, are you sure you’re not just losing confidence in your guess? You think I’m going to die before midnight tomorrow when most people are going to celebrate the New Year? You’re not in good shape on this one; in fact I want to make this event a little more interesting, so I’m challenging you to a little wager. :)

I have a Blank 500 Dollar postal money order issued 2008-11-14 from a donor who sent it to me to square away a matter of my returned lifetime membership fee. He has authorized that I may use it for this wager. I am going to place this postal money order in an envelope with instructions to Carol to mail this to you should I die. You just need to let me know where you want the check sent. Now, I realize that you’re in this deal sideways with your poor guess, so I’m not looking to make a 500 dollar wager against 500 dollars, oh no, and besides, that lacks imagination, I want the bet to be a little more spicier than that. I don’t want a dime from you, I want something different from you’re side of the table. What do I want you to put up for a wager against my 500-dollar check? Well Struct, somewhere in your Boott Mill Apartment you have, or have access to your grandmother’s receipt for her corn pie and I’m dying to taste it. So if I make it you have to make and deliver that corn pie to me, and I’m going to give you until the first day of spring to make it happen, so not only do I have to win the bet, I have to live until the first day of spring if you draw it out that long to collect my winnings. Oh, and you have to go easy on the nettles and I love feta cheese, so you gotta load that pie with extra extra feta cheese.

So waddya say Struct, feeling as confident as you did when you threw that out there? Of course, I want to be gracious, if you want to withdraw your guess because you guessed wrong feel free, and if you still like your odds, step up to the plate and accept my wager. :p

Asked and answered.

Discussions with Kurt are futile, but that therapy was passed on because we had a great solid program, you simply can't use everything. Our program when I could swallow and digest normal produced great results.

The Cesium Chloride / DMSO Protocol got temporarily derailed when I had my heart attack Nov 9th, or really even before that when I new my heart was an issue. It's going to be brought back into the frontline soon.
