A little background


Recommended Posts

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.

I'm not American but your neighbor, let me personally thank him for his service and pray that others follow his lead in times were law enforcement is extremely challenging, prayers for comfort for you all in the days ahead 🙏

Sounds like he lived in Noble life of service. And I will offer prayers for him and hope that he has a gentle passing when that time comes. My prayers for you as well for your future loss.

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.

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.

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.

I am sorry for your loss, but there are worse things then death.
