A lot of us have to make that choice, and I have to say there is only one choice to be made.
Recently I watched an episode of The Practice where a 12 year old begged to be released from all her tubes so she could go to the beach and have a dip in the sea, something she had never experienced due to being in and out of hospitals her whole life. Well the doctors thought differently and wanted to perform surgery which would lengthen her life for maybe 8 months. As she pleaded her parents heard and wanted her to forgo the operation and go home with them but the doctors accused them of child abuse and brought in the courts who sided with the doctors. Well, long story short, the doctors finally relented and the child got her heart's desire. How I wish they could have shown her go on to eat raw foods, take glyconutrients and live a long happy life but if wishes were horses beggars would ride right?
Anyway that still brings me to the fact that too many of us choose treatments that mash up our brains so much we can`t even pray, we can`t even fight, we can`t eat so we get no nutrients to help. We have no quality of life. What's the point of having quantity to live a life of nausea and pain with nurses rolling you to prevent bed sores?
What do screams of pain do to a family ? What memories do they leave in children's psyche?
I have found from experience that while your wits are about you you can push through.....You can try to survive....... when you are burnt to a crisp, everything seems impossibly hard. If you are in bed supposed to be sick you need to read or watch TV, or talk to your friends,none of that is possible and the most comfortable of beds becomes a torture chamber.
I have always said its better to live your regular life and just drop out one day (if you are lucky)than to lie down for months saying you're alive but really you are a living dead....THAT'S NOT LIFE!
Let's live until we die.
