My Mom's friend in Georgia overnighted a man's hanky annointed with healing oil. We put it in his pillowcase and within two weeks he was in a complete remission. That was TWENTY YEARS AGO. Guess what? NEVER will I part with that thing. It's sealed in a plastic bag for safe keeping. God forbid that he would ever need it again but if so, it's here. If having that bag works for you keep it in a safe place. Whatever works to give you peace of mind is okay.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-63117716711196154622012-01-17T18:16:33.529-08:002012-01-17T18:16:33.529-08:00As the queen of Superstition, adapting all the dif...As the queen of Superstition, adapting all the different cultural ones that i know, i can assure you that whatever shall befall the Brown Paper Bag, which i remember filled with your medicine on the floor of your car while you went into Starbucks....<br />You will be fine!

Please feel free to join, use and spread the word about I Had Cancer (www.ihadcancer.com) - focuses on creating real, organic connections between people in similar situations. <br /><br />Our community search filters are intuitive and very easy to use. You can search for others by type of cancer, type of user (supporter, survivor and fighter), age, year of diagnosis, gender and location and a number of other interesting features that help facilitate communication between users (check out Dear Cancer - a soap box for cancer). <br /><br />We hope that by allowing members to easily connect, share experiences and information, the acquired knowledge will turn them into medical self-advocates. Best of health to all of you.<br /><br />Ronni, thank you for letting us post here. PS - it is more than OK to keep a bag for over 3 years, especially if that bag marks such an important milestone in your life. <br />liz@ihadcancer.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-33233616707519807532012-01-17T09:34:14.834-08:002012-01-17T09:34:14.834-08:00Totally understandable your relationship with the ...Totally understandable your relationship with the bag!

I understand that he needs them to cope, but it can be hard to watch some days. Having survived what we've all been through, I can see how easy it would be to stretch a thread between cause and effect and the behaviors that affect our well being.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214868698905207283noreply@blogger.com
