lotsaIHCs Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 A couple of days ago I asked for prayers for my brother who is battling cancer. He's now officially in hospice care at this time. I'd like to give a little background so you know who he is, even if not personally knowing him. He was a policeman and police chief in a couple of towns before becoming a deputy sheriff in McLean county NoDak. He then started a career with immigration service, later ICE. He served in Kansas City MO, Sioux City IA and then Sioux Falls SD. He spent some time at the border at South Padre Island Texas processing and detaining illegals. So he spent his life protecting the citizens of the country. In my mind he is a true hero. He went on operations in Minneapolis, Chicago and many other places, finding alien criminals who were wanted by law enforcement. He has led a truly fascinating and adventurous life. He retired about 8 or so years ago and was living the American dream before cancer struck. I so appreciate all of the well wishes and words of comfort from this forum, even though you don't know either of us. We appreciate your thoughts and continue to hope he has a little more time left. Thank you all. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars (midessa) Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Quickly do some research for your brother, on homeopathic, and alternative cancer treatments. Such as massive doses of vitamin D3, aspirin, ivermectin have shown promise. It’s not too late, but urgent. WPS may also be of aid in stopping the cancer in its tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been sending some articles about homeopathic but he hasn't mentioned anything about them. I sent him a link to a study on the NIH website that shows very promising results from some Ivermectin studies. There is another on a certain mushroom that is supposed to have very positive impacts in the fight against cancer. I will be forwarding this to him also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsaIHCs Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 My 2 sons and I got his chassis loaded up and ready to go the hot rod shop. Doing what we can! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsaIHCs Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Since my last post, we delivered the chassis to the shop last Monday morning. Today, a week later, Memorial Day, I received the call that he has passed away. After seeing him last week, and the discomfort he was in, it is almost a relief that it is over. Nobody wants to lose a family member, but seeing someone suffer is worse. Again, thanks to the RP community for your thoughts and prayers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
