PCM 04-24-2011 “Easter thinking” let the afflicted hear and rejoice
Easter is a time of renewal, lets start with our thinking. You were designed by God to be loved, joyful and grateful. It is God's goal to get this into your heart, soul and mind.
God is amazing beyond words or description. How deeply He loves you is so difficult to get across except through the cross the full meaning we will only fully understand beyond our lives on earth.
It is time to declare your divinely designed destiny and become a fountain of freedom forever! Your mind will trend to wherever you point it. If you are always thinking about the glorious greatness of God, dwelling on the dependable, dedicated and devoted Deity and the positive power of the provider, your focus, your center and your path will be firm.
Stand up to the negative He can do it with your willingness, turn your thinking moment by moment day by day, all by focusing on the eternal excellence .
Psalm 34:1-3 New International Version (NIV) The Message (MSG)
1 I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. 1 I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. 2 I live and breathe God; if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:
3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together. 3 Join me in spreading the news; together let's get the word out.
Psalm 34 is a masterpiece, it covers so much so I will take it a few verses at a time. I present it here with the NIV along with The Message. I include a link so you can change it into any version you are comfortable with.

With all the love and joy that God has intended for us to have,

For the first time yesterday I walked outside the house without a cane!
For the first time yesterday I walked outside the house without a cane! No I am not cured but something is happening I cannot deny! Because of the phenomenon of 'social media' a treatment that has it's roots 70 years ago is seeing the light of day.
I AM NOT SAYING EVERYBODY SHOULD DO THIS YET...... but it SHOULD BE OFFERED AS A CHOICE. Who knows.... when it is fully explored it may help with more than just ms.
Free will is all we want when choosing a procedure over a falsely advertised drug therapy. In 1986 I was offered methotrexate as a 'promising [but not quite promised] cure'. I watched my friends who did not have the pharmaceutical training and real life experience I had as to what these drugs actually do to your body, fall for the glimmer of hope as the anticancer drugs brought them to the brink of death and did needless untold damage to their bodies with NONE of the "dangled....implied.....reLIEf" from the suffering of ms.
I chose freedom and just said NO.
By the time they came on the market, the CRAB drugs were not indicated for ppms which is where I had progressed to. In other words we all understand I did not have any "remitting" that their drugs could vaguely take credit for.
I watched as some of my friends suffered through the treatments that seemed to me make them sicker.....with again implied relief that could easily be mistaken for a remitting phase....
They chose to exclude me, NO CHOICE on my part.
CCSVI came along, shunned by NM$$, given the cold shoulder by the Neurologist and were it not for a handful of dedicated "social activist" would have been swept under the rug and disposed of as an annoyance and inconvenience to those who would profit from our misery.
I was convinced that there may be something here so I volunteered for a study, had the test performed by vascular experts and when it was found that I had blockages in my jugular veins, underwent a medically necessary procedure to unblock them.
I almost did not have a choice, battling the greed, pride and stubbornness of the many, I chose to listen to the few and am now for the first time since 1986 walking without a cane all the time. I am in shock by the alertness, can feel the difference in blood flow in my neck and the straightness in my walking.
I do not claim 100% cure, it took 30 years to get my body in the current shape it is in and I will give it some time to recover.
ALL I AM SAYING IS GIVE ME A CHOICE AS TO WHERE THE RESEARCH MONEY GOES. WHERE WOULD WE BE IF THIS WAS PURSUED 70 YEARS AGO [go back and you will see where the original vascular studies had their roots.
We need to UNITE and demand free choice, it is our bodies going through this. WE WANT THE CHOICE!!!
Sincerely, Bill Sullivan
