Studying?

I thought after college I would never have to spend countless nights researching information and writting what I have learned. Well I don't have to anymore for anybody but myself! Well the past 2 weeks I have been researching, looking up, studying all kinds of remedies, cures, natural supplements, prevention etc... on cancer. What would I do without the internet? Look in the encyclopedia? Man, we have come a long way!


I found several helpful sites and have spent many countless nights reading that my head hurts! I found a cancer fighting strategy page and it gave me 100 pages of what can cause cancer and strategies that have been tested that have been proven to work. People who have cancer, of course their immunity is down, also have low levels of PH in return can cause......... a whole list of things! When yourPH level is low, cancer thrives because your body stores more toxins in cells and that reduces oxygen which are both fundamentals to the development of cancer. It seems like one thing can go wrong with your body which causes something else to not function normal which causes something else. It seems like the never ending story!


I found a whole list of all natural organic supplements that have been proven to stop the spread of cancer and get rid of stage 4 cancer completely. When you have cancer already it says to take 5 to 10 x's more the recomended dose. I have a whole list of organic supplements and what they are good for to take with us to the doctor's office on Monday to see what he thinks. I saw something on the news last year about a lady who spent all kinds of money on an 'alkiline' water system in her house and it cleared her, dementia, arthiritis and a few other issues she had. This site also talked about the effects of alkiline water! Something about the oxygen in the water and it helps neutralize the PH in your body. Well most people can't go out and afford 5,000 for an alkaline system. So it said put 3 teaspoons of baking soda in a glass of water everyday and it is the same to drinking alkaline water. Huh?


We all know how picky Cody is when it comes to food (Thank Jed for this!), but I also found a list of foods that are cancer fighting and I think I will have to hold Cody down while I shove them down his throat! :) Or I could use my juicer and mix some veggies in his juice! :) Everyone always talks about how good green tea is for you. Most people buy the green tea already made, full of sugar, and it doesn't work the same. You have to get the real deal green tea, Japanese green tea is the best and steep in water for 10 minutes and drink within the hour. After the hour it looses its cancer fighting stuff. So the next time ya'll come visit, we might be green tea people! :) Here is a list of all the cancer fighting foods I found and how to eat them! If you care :)

- Fresh ginger or ginger root ( fresh grated ginger over stir fry veggies or over soups or salads, teas, cereal)

-Tumeric powder ( also known as curry powder, I think, mix teaspoon of Tumeric with teaspoon of olive or canola oil with a pinch of ground black pepper, add to steamed veggies, soups, salad dressings)

Brussell sprouts, bok choy, chinese cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower ( steam briefly/stir fry rapidly, cook too long kills cancer fighting compounds) This is the one I will have a hard time getting Cody to eat, he will not touch anything green and I don't think you can juice broccoli!

Fresh garlic- not in a jar, the clove of garlic! (saute with olive/canola oil with onions and veggies and you can toss it in the tumeric with pepper) over steamed whole grain rice!

Soy Milk/Soy yogurt- Cody loves his milk and I know he will never drink this willingly! Maybe I could just pour the soy in the regular jug? LOL

Pomegranate juice - 8 oz with breakfast every morning

Fish- 2-3 X's a week (even sardines in a can work) LOL that is so what the website said! Daddy, I know you love sardines! That is what you would feed me and Kristen when we would stay with you and I still like them! Although I haven't had them since I was 10.

Dark Chocolate- (small piece a day with at least 70% cocoa)

Lemon, grapefruit, oranges, tangerine PEEL ( zest on top of cereal, yogurt or boil in water and drink)

Blueberries, rasberries, cranberries, strawberries-( mix with your soy milk and cereal or oatmeal) I have started making Cody a lot of smoothies with soy yogurt, fruit, and a little bit of apple juice and he loves it, and I haven't told him about the soy yogurt yet :) Suprise Cody!


Hope this is helpfull to all and maybe next time we are all at nannies we can have a tea party!



Cody just came home smelling like a skunk and now our WHOLE house smells like one too!

Sweet Monday

Never thought I would ever enjoy a 'Monday' but I did today. We finally got back to our normal schedule, except for the fact that I had to get up at 7:30 and bottle feed the fawns while Cody slept in :) Cody got out of the house majority of the day today and he is not sore tonight! Since Cody has been in the house all week laying around, of course I wanted to lay around with him and got nothing done at all! So today I was able to clean the house and go grocery shopping since I was home alone!


I figured Cody would have been super bored all week being in the house and not being able to lift anything heavy, but he was a good little patient and he had plenty of company between me and 'little girl' learning to jump on the bed, sudoku, puzzles and lots of movies!

Hopefully next weekend we can put her outside. I know she is missing her buddies and she has way tooo much energy for our house. We thought a little buddy would join her this weekend, but the sick little fawn we brought inside didn't make it. I just couldn't get her to eat enough :( She passed away Saturday around noon. That was a sad sad day. I also noticed that one pen outside has had more sick doe than the other, but they have all survied where as doe in the other pens haven't made it. This pen also has stopped taking care of their babies!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes when a doe gets sick, her number one priority is herself and she stops taking care of her baby but another doe will usually take care of it. I figured when the doe gets better she will start nursing her baby again, but I haven't seen a doe nurse one baby in at least a week. Majority of the babies were born in May so if momma won't let them nurse, then I think they will be able to make it cause their old enought to be weened. There is one buck fawn that was born early July sometime and no one will let him nurse! I have watched him for 5 days straight and he goes from doe to doe and not one will let him nurse! Although he is not weak and looks healthy, it can't be good he is not nursing at such a young age. He has way to much energy for us to catch him and bottle feed him, so I am hoping he can make it without those stupid Doe!

50 candles and 1 to grow on!

Kim finally joined all her friends and has entered into the 50 + box! Happy Birthday and hope you had a great day, even though we didn't do much but get the worst Oklahoma pedicure ever, ok maybe the 2nd worst pedicure ever.

I handed Jed my camera and here is his great pic! J/K You left out the cake buddy! :)

As you can see by this picture, Cody is starting to feel normal again! He did venture on out for a bit today and came home hurting a little, but getting out a little each day should do him some good.

Well little boy buck didn't make it. I went out one last time last night to try to get it to take a bottle and he could barely lift his head but Cody gave him a shot last night so he wouldn't hurt and he passed away this morning. This is the sad part of this job. The other sick fawn we found last night has taken up residence in our closet today, our other fawn in the house was picking on her and biting her, so I put her in a more tolerable environment. haha Deer usually pick on the weak, well not in my house missy! I did get her to take about 5 oz today, which is better than none, but still not good. She just can't get the sucking part down with the nipple. She sucks away at my ear though. She will only eat about an ounce a feeding, if that, so I try to feed her every hour, just so she will have something in her belly. I hope she makes it! I am looking forward to getting back to our regular routine next week! So happy we have Louis here, he has stepped up so much this week and has helped Cody out tremendously. He has been feeding the whitetail for Cody since he can't lift anything heavy and running most of the errands, picking up feed, dropping and picking up deer from the vet, filling feeders on top of his regular chores and extra projects they have going on around the ranch! I don't know how we could ever make this up to him! Louis is so sweet, he has been so worried about Cody. The first day home Cody stayed in bed all day and was out, and everytime Louis called he wanted to know how Cody was and when he could see him. He finally came over yesterday and you could tell he was happy to see Cody! They have definitely bonded even though there is a huge language barrier, but Louis is learning more English everyday! Cody's parents are leaving in the morning. Jed has been spraying the deer pens everynight for Cody while I spray the hanging strips over the deer water and bottle feeding the babies. Kim has been opening the gates for Jed and that cuts spraying in half! There are so many gates! I figured we would have had a harder time making Cody take it easy, but I haven't had to put my foot down once. He did get out more today but he didn't lift anything heavy and I know that was good for him!

We are fixin to start a game of cards and I am so tired I am sure I will come in last!

God is good, All the time!

Well, I have pretty great news considering. Cody's surgery went really good. They think they got all the cancer out. The Dr. showed us pictures of the cancer and it looked so scary. It looked like a cross between calliflower and seeweed/coral reef looking thing. Glad that is out of his body! We go back August 3rd and the doctor will let us know then how bad a grade the cancer is and he will go over our options with us then. From experience, the Dr. said just by looking at it, it looked low grade because they seem to think they caught it super early and Cody will just have to have regulat scopes for 10 years to make sure nothing else scary is growing in his bladder. But we will know the facts on the 3rd! My Poor Baby! He isn't looking forward to the regular scopes, he was in so much pain during the first one. He is taking it super easy this week and still very very sore. Everyone keeps making the comment, "You probably felt the equivalent of a women having a baby," Not a good thing to tell the wife of the man who just went through all that pain and hasn't had a baby yet :(


Today we found a sick fawn in the deer pens, her mom got sick last week which we have been giving meds to, but when a Doe gets sick, she just takes care of herself and not her baby. Usually other doe step in and take care of it, but no one did this time. The fawn was really week and dehydrated. Cody and Jed caught it and brought it home. I have been trying to get it to take a bottle all afternoon, but she would never take it. Maybe, hopefully she will be super hungry in the morning and suck that bottle up! We had 3 fawns in the house and 2 have already graduated to outdoor pens. I was so looking forward to sending that third one out this week, but she might need to stay in longer with this new one, if she makes it. Hopefully she will. Tonight while we were spraying the pens(Kim and Jed are here helping me out since Cody has to take it easy), I found a buck fawn not looking to sexy either. He was really skinny and dehyrdated. He let me come right up to him and he licked me, I ran home, made a bottle of electrolytes and tried to get him to take a bottle to rehydrate. He drank about 2 oz and Cody went and gave him a shot of some fluids to maybe help him rehydrate. We will see how little guy is doing in the morning.


P.S. KIMBERLY ANN PEDEN CAMPBELL IS TURNING 50 tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
