PLANTING THE SEEDS

PLANTING THE SEEDS

 


If you have been following my journey for the past five years, you would know how I feel about keeping your body healthier. From my experiences first hand and through family members dying of cancer, to me having cancer I feel that we are not alone. This world of ours is full of seeds that are planted every day with the knowledge of managing diseases to treatments that are proven to work. The key word is aftercare. Most people after any treatment go back to their old lifestyles, which was in part causing the illness in the first place.

Since Dan and I have had cancer, I have been spreading the word through my blogs and websites. I even wrote a book of our experiences but also mentioning that it not only effects the person that is suffering from the disease, but their family and friends.

So today I am planting a seed in your behave and doing something about it by starting a foundation for if any one should happen to need help, its there.

Please be a part of this and help me collect some funds to continue this quest.

Be the water, its make this grow and God will do the rest. Give a small gift of hope and share

Simplifying Life



Simplifying Life

Healing Our Bodies


On April 1st it will be three years ago that Dan and I moved to Mexico. We only planned on living here for two years, but it has been so comfortable and we are managing our illnesses with the simple things in life. This is what Mexico has taught us.

A lot of my family and friends were afraid for us to go to Mexico, but with us losing everything, our house, our cars, and most of our retirement savings due to our treatments from cancer the world as we knew it had disappeared before our eyes. Not only was there just cancer that both of us were inflicted with and had to worry about, but Dan also had ten stints in his heart area. We have had to maintain this health issue as well. Life in the states was not affordable for us to live there anymore. We not only had to deal with the treatments of cancer, but also, the aftercare ~ the healing process. Between the two of us we are spending over a thousand dollars a month on medicines and supplements because insurance does not cover them. We are living on Dan’s disability check and this takes out a big chunk, so our living expense which we are left with is quite small affording us not the luxury of a car but only the use of the local buses and the taxi drivers to get us down to the bottom of the hill for shopping Right now we are living off of the disability check from an injury on Dan’s left foot due to an old bullet wound and my book that I published last year. I am very disappointed for the sales of the book has not been overwhelming.

Nevertheless, we downsized and took off where we can live happy and not be worried about things (stress) for this is one of the lifestyle changes that we had to overcome to heal ourselves from cancer. Dan and I found this lovely Hotel in Ajijic to start over in which was affordable for us. We were offered a casita which we made our home. The price was only under 400.00 American dollars all included ~ internet, gas and electric. I felt this was fabulous to us for we were able to feel less pressure on our shoulders. Like someone close to me would say, this was our choice. Yes, but it was not my choice for us both to have cancer and be in the situation that we ended up in. We were living the American dream until then.
It has been a long road, but I am very proud that I am able to lift my head up and say that Dan and I did it on our own. We have never asked anyone for help and continue to do things on our own. With this said, I am asking for help on another issue. Dan and I are starting an organization to help others that have been in need of help regarding their cancer treatments. The fund is World F.A.C.T.S. ( Functional, Alternative, Cancer, Treatments Society). Please go to https://www.gofundme.com/changethethinking and give a gift to someone in need.

Throughout the five years and Dan’s three years of managing our cancer, we have been researching more and educating others in keeping healthy and to think outside the box. There are so many other treatments that work throughout the world that should be FDA approved so that others would be able to afford them with the insurance coverage. I have started a new petition that I also need your help with to sign so the future would be with out all the side effects that are happening NOW. There are scientific approaches, like Dan’s and I used that if the insurance company had paid for, maybe our lives would have taken another turn. Go to sign and share the NEW petition https://www.change.org/p/quality-of-life-a-gift


The experience that we have received from moving to Mexico opened up our eyes that Mexico is just as safe as the U.S. There are areas in the U.S. that you would not travel in, much like Mexico. There are gangs and drugs in the U.S., just like the cartel in Mexico. You have to do research to find the areas that you would be safe in. Our community in Chapala is full of ex-pats from America, Europe and Canada. We have many veterans here and they are being taken care of through clinics and facilities that specialize in their needs.

Please, help Dan and I in our quest to start World F.A.C.T.S. This would mean so much to us and would make a difference in what we had been through. The most precious gift that you could give Dan and I would be a donation to this cause. There is this saying that I love and have been repeating in all my writings. You are a drop, but together we can be an ocean. This is so true, I need you to be the ocean.

WHO IS SHERY SURDI MALIN



I haven't forgotten that I am just one person,
That I am but one voice attempting to stand out from the crowd.
I know that I can't sit here and expect my words to create change without reason.
I can see if I don't educate and try to make a change, then I can't expect and follow my world.
I can feel that time is slipping by me, that it will be gone if I just stand still.
I have heard that there are a million other voices that sound like mine, that want also to be heard.
I've been told that it's not enough to wish for dreams that I have to work them into reality.
Your voice, your opinion-- mean something.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!
You are one drop, but together we can make an ocean.
Let's think outside the box, and let your voice, your opinion--be heard.
JOIN ME
To make the change.
This is who Sheryl Surdi Malin is.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER ~ BE THE CHANGE





Politicians ask for campaign donations , churches ask for donations, many organizations ask for money. So today I have been thinking ,what I can do to raise money to change the way we treat cancer. For more than four years I have been reaching out to people through blogs and the internet with other whys to treat cancer and through my own experience I wrote a book. I have used my own money to support the cause; however the money has dried up. This is mainly due to paying for my treatments, my husbands treatments and putting the money in educating the public, that you do have choices other than surgery, chemo and radiation.

Like a tree, it begins with a root. You water the tree it grows. If this tree does not have a root then the tree would die. This is just like cancer. It starts with a root and we need to stop feeding it. Sure we can fix the symptom, however if we do not change and find out the root there will be no change.

We need to change the thinking and put our money in not just treating the symptom, but why it happened in the first place. There has been so many fund raising programs leading from the Nixon era and nothing much has been done as of yet and the reason why is nobody is looking at the root of the issue and our immune system.

Let’s change this and help me campaign to educate on knowledge and to change the whole medical industry’s thinking and save lives. We also need to make it affordable to all by making this covered by our insurance companies.

Stand with me and speak out by donating today and help me make this world a better place for our children and grandchildren. Knowledge is power and if we can start to teach preventions before the root grows, then we can kick cancer in the butt.

Join me today with a peace of mind, be the pioneer with me, your donation will help start a nonprofit organization that will free cancer patients of choices. It will help promote my book and also help with speaking events and also to legislate for change.

BE THE PIONEER AND JOIN ME IN CHANGING THE WAY WE TREAT CANCER




People are much like trees, each one of us are unique and show beauty. However a tree can not grow without the root, the foundation. Much like cancer it can not be managed without finding the root of the issue ~ why it happened. If we can destroy the root, cancer can not grow. Everyone is unique and should be treated with the blueprint that their body was built on. We need to change the way we treat cancer and look at the big picture of the why and not just the symptom. We need to continue to educate on prevention and choices that are out there that does not cause side effects or damage to the immune system.. Also make it affordable to all by making this covered by our insurance companies.
