Dear Forum and Elect of God:

Thank you all who have been concerned and praying for my health and well-being.  And especially I thank those who have continued to contribute to the financial support of my extensive (and expensive) nutritional protocol.  I put off communicating with you sooner hoping that I could give you better news concerning my condition. I have been in considerable pain the past two months due to the matastisizing of the cancer in my bones. I have anywhere from a few to ten or twelve areas of my body that give me pain (neck, shoulders, arms, back, spine, hips, leg bones, jaw, etc.).  When one area subsides a little, another area becomes painful.  As most of you know my PSA went to 107 last summer (o.o is good, 4 raises concerns for most doctors).  My PSA is now an incredible 740! A primary goal was to get my body from acid to alkaline, as cancer does not survive well in an alkaline environment. Despite numerous tactics to boost the alkalinity of my body, it has not happened, although it is slightly higher than it was.  The cancer also causes its own acid condition, and mine is now spread throughout the whole body.

One medical doctor who is both a good friend and a patient of my naturopath, Dr. Jimmy Steger, commented that most men would alread by dead with a PSA of 740, and that Dr. Steger's strick nutritional protocol is the reason I am still alive. Another doctor told me the same.  I told several people this week, that God doesn't need a good nutritional plan to heal someone of any disease.  What I am doing is a good and needful thing to do, but as you can plainly see, it does not guarantee healing.  Sometimes God takes us all the way into the valley of death before He rescues us:  2Co 1:9 "But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead."  As Paul saw things, there was no escape--they were going to die!   But after all hope in self was gone, God then rescued Paul.

So don't lose faith!  We are to live by faith and not by sight.  I have many things I yet wish to teach and write about, but that is all in God's hands now.  Stay strong, and keep the faith.
 
God be with you all,

Ray

Members of the Forum:  Greetings to all, and Thank You for your prayers and continued support of

my cancer protocol.  I am humbled by the generousity and support of God's Chosen.  It makes life

a whole lot more tolerable under these present difficult conditions.  I am still working on 23Minutes

in Hell, by Bill Wiese.  I am having to contact many sources and buy some books in an attempt to

verify some of Bill's outlandish statements.

 

The real reason for me writing is that I have a few more 60-page bound copies of my 2009 Bible

Conference notes.  I would be happy to send them out to any who wish to receive one.  Unfortunately,

I have only a few left, so it must be "first come/first serve."  Just send me your complete name and

mailing address, and I will send them out as long as they last.

 

My email address is:   l.raysmith@comcast.net

Don't forget the (.) after the "l"

God be will all of you, always,

Ray

Dear Forum members and Elect of God:

Let me start by again thanking those who are contributing to the expense
of my cancer protocol.  I had a few bad months this Spring, but I am doing
better right now.  Although I did recently have excruciating pain in my ribs
for a few weeks, that too is some better right now.

Some doctors look at many of the discomforts that accompany a natural
food regimen with heavy doses of supplements, as a positive thing.  Even
severe pain can be a sign of the body healing.  Especially this appears to
be so when these pains diminish over time, as many of mine have.  So I
am not discouraged.  God knows what I need and how long I need it.

It is difficult to work and concentrate under such conditions, but I managed
to put in five to ten hours on most days.  My latest paper on Hell being a
Christian Hoax, and my critique of "23 Minutes in Hell by Bill Wiese," is
complete.  I sent it to Harry Mill last week for proof reading.  When he is
finished, Dennis will give it a second read and format it for the largest
configuration of computers, seeing that many people have older models.

It will probably take another ten days or so before it is posted on our
home page.  Pray that it reaches a lot of people.  It contains much good
Scriptural teaching, and should be an inspiration for those whom God is
calling to understand His Word.

I have several other topics in mind to begin writing on very soon.  I am also
hoping to start having my in home Bible studies once again if I am able.
These will of course be video taped and posted on our site.
 
Till next time:  Keep the faith and stay strong.

God be with you all,
Ray
