Sarafina, where did you get these twisted facts?

Sorry Sarafina, but I must rebut some of your statements about the FGA woman with cancer in Slovakia. I was very close to the case at the time, due to a long friendship I've enjoyed with that woman's husband, even though I had left the Family years earlier. Here are the facts:
The woman was diagnosed with cancer in the last quarter of 2003. An emergency operation followed a few days later during which the doctors found that a very malignant and aggressive cancer had already spread profusely throughout her abdomen. She then underwent a first regimen of chemo therapy, which at first looked promising. However, in May 2004 complications set in. She then switched to another, different regimen of chemo, which left her devastated in health and mind. She was pleading to get off chemo at that point, but then, following the advise of her husband, she entered a third round of yet different chemo drugs. Before this round was over it became apparent that she was going to die and not make it to all involved. The chemo, on her behest, was then discontinued.(She altogether received over 100.000,- Euros worth of treatments) She became very discouraged with the "medical solution" and didn't want to see another doctor. She then went to the States as a deadly sick woman that almost did not get admitted on to the flight because of her desperate condition. She wanted to look into alternative medicine solutions, but it was way too late for that.
Sorry that much of your story doesn't corroborate with the true facts, but perhaps it was more or less second hand info you were relying on.
I felt it was prudent to set the story straight, so no wrong conclusions are reached.
