Dear family, friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.

Mark Woodman dictated this update to me and this is what he told me.

“Most days are up- and down, as I get tired very quickly after breakfast and I just don’t have the energy or courage to write about all my problems.

I’ve been through four weeks of very difficult times, two weeks of diarrhea and I am coughing up some blood from the lungs. But in that, we can see improvement and the Lord’s leading, because the diarrhea started by itself and even though all natural remedies, medication and even hospitalization could not stop it, the body stopped it by itself when it was ready.

This is the type of thing that is going on and the reason I can’t give you more regular updates. I am in the middle of the next phase of something and I am being taught patience to see how the body, as it strengthens, goes into the next phase of cancer elimination.

I am, however, doing very well, receiving hydro-therapy, fever-baths and using natural remedies. The progress has been recognizable and we wait till January for the next scan to see if there has been a reduction of the tumours.

The head of the melanoma division at Groote Schuur, has confirmed that science can do nothing for my situation, be it chemo, radiation or surgery, as there have been too many metastasis (tumours spread too far). Therefore my initial decision to treat adrenal melanoma, one of the most vicious cancers, with natural remedies, is not so much in question, as they can’t help me anyway.

However, had they come and told me that chemo or radiation or any other chemical treatment would have helped, I would have stood by my decision, because ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth Job 19:25, and if He decides to heal me through His natural remedies, as laid out in the Bible and in the Spirit of Prophecy, I will be healed. So, currently there’s no panic, just a lot of patience being taught as we see how the Creator’s design in the body goes through different phases of attacking the cancer.

These healing phases are sometimes scary, because I grew up using pharmaceutical medications.  Such medications shut down or block bodily symptoms (which is the way our bodies speak to us), and I have therefore never learnt to recognize which is disease and which is healing.  I have noticed that I have much to learn about understanding and recognizing the body's healing methods.
