Dear Babz, Our paths crossed in another lifetime. I wrote an obscure little movie called "The Raffle." I think it's where you met Nick. I remember being so honored when you accepted the role, you were very much loved and revered back then too.

Did you know that George Clooney auditioned for Nick's role a couple of years earlier? He was unknown and famous only for being Rosemary Clooney's nephew. Imagine if destiny plunked the movie on a different course. Oh what the DVD and video sales would have been after he became famous!

Now to the meat and potatoes.

I have a very serious disease too, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, it's a progressive incurable condition without much advancement in treatment in the west and the prognosis is a life long battle to breathe and eventually lung failure.

So I too have searched for treatments and I know what it's like to feel mortal and wounded.

Hope is a wonderful elixir. My search took me to Russia to study a breathing technique developed by Dr. Konstantin Buteyko. The method is profound and the physiology tested. Who would think that poor breathing (and most of the people on this planet do not breathe correctly) would so effect the body's chemistry and manifest disease? I read where you're looking at diet as a treatment, well Oxygen is our primary food. Proper breathing oxygenates the tissues and organs and restores the body's alkaline base. There are a few highly qualified Buteyko practitioners who are treating cancer, multiple sclerosis and diabetes with the Buteyko Method and achieving great results.

There's too much information to relay here, but I would be most happy to talk to you about this as an additional therapy you may wish to consider.

My thoughts are with you.

Warm regards,

John

Babz,

Oh, I just ached when I read this latest update. I hope you can feel my love and prayers (and those of my two girls) right now when things are filled with questions and uncertainties.

I wish I could do more than what has already been done, and I hope you know how very personally I have held you in my life and in our prayers all these months.

I hear that the beaches near my home are some of the most beautiful in the world, and the weather is cool and the hotels sparsely occupied. If you and yours and your docs feel a jaunt southward is in your best interest, I highly recommend it.

I am hugging you from here, so hard.

From "you know who I am".

Dear Babz,

I have never met you before in my life.I just came home from a doctor apointment.. at the end she offered me a tiket to see a show next week. On the website I red your story I must say it touched my heart and incouraged me to share somthing with you, please keep what is resanate and discart the rest.
I had an AC joint shoulder operation almost 4-years ago but my condition worsened since the surgery and I have been visiting doctors and specialists to find a solution to come out of the disability which made me unemployed for the past 4-years. The medical treatments still are in the process endlessly.I living with a disease called COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROM it's a nerve complication that some unfurtunet peaple geting it after a surgoery, I am one of them.

I felt your pain when I was reading your story.. you say "I'm burnt out and exhausted with chasing new treatments and miracles. I don't even know what I believe anymore".

That was my feeling for a long time but through some practice of yoga/ metitation I came to realiz some thing that is beyond every things,that relization is to know This Moment and living it as it is. I know now the chalenges that life put in our pathway is to give us the oputunity to know This Moment, it might sound hard to believe but it's true. Knowing This Moment is knowing our selves and that the only reason to be here, to know who we are, and knowing This Moment is the link to it.

Just a few weeks ago I edited a piece to expres my feeling what life is and share it with others. It called Budhha Garden. Please go www.YouTube and search for Budhha Garden and when you see a pictur of a girl and an elephent just click on it.

Also I would like to share some of my writing with you as well.

Flowers
Birds
Wind
Horizon

All are invitations to
This Moment

Be here
There is nowhere else

River flowing
Ocean receiving
Moon watching

This Moment
Ever changing

Desires
Achievements
Successes
All are meaningless

This Moment
Limitless

I hope my sharing bring a moment of peace to your beautiful life.

Cheers.

Dave

Babz,

It is simply astounding to me how one's spirit can be so lucid and strong when one's body is so weak. You may feel the need to shift this new contemplation of the possibility of death, but let it be. Rest awhile. It will morph again. Never doubt the power of your spirit even when bereft. Your clarity, your vision, your immense capacity to communicate is still as mesmerizing and evocative as ever.

Thank you for your words and breathe easy for awhile, before the next run.

With many, many good wishes for healing and joy,
Crystal Verge

Dear Babz,

I have not met you (we share a few friends)but feel that I know you through your wonderful work as an actress and now through this web blog. I was struck to the core by this last letter from you. It was open, vulnerable, powerful - like you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will light a candle for you, as you continue to light all of us up with your vibrant spirit.

Dear Babz...How I respect, admire and hear your passionate struggle in this recent update from you. This, I share, coming from a womyn artist who attended a healing circle from a spiritual channeller and advisor, and this is an excerpt on "HOPE" and what the spiritual channeller shared within that small circle of like minded souls:

--" We so explored together this past weekend the way the planet is in such need of the return of "Hope," that the way we have negotiated life in this world has caused Hope to evaporate in most of us. Hope itself as a divine energy has not evaporated -- our ability to access it and allow it entrance has. We were charged with coming from Hope in every given situation -- with seeing it as a component of Presence -- that when we stand before another and hold space in full Presence, we are to acknowledge that there are many currents of energy that are a part of that Presence -- and that two key currents are... Love and Hope. That in the deepest way we can emanate the energy of each and not as some mental construct, but as truly a conduit -- that if we are deeply and truly connected in a mature way to "full Presence -- that our very energy fields will radiate with both -- that true touch can extend it out -- that it is a vitality that can course through us as a part of our Field of Being....first the true surrender...and maintaining presence and HOPE, for our own cellular wellbeing.”

And how I send both that Love and HOPE out to you today, Babz...never lose the Love and Hope divine energy that exists for all of us, to recognize its benefits from a cellular level, no matter the reason or need of it in our lives. The energy of Hope lives in our cellular beings...keep hope alive.
Respectfully, with Hope for healing,
Monica

I found my way here pretty much by accident. Many will find what I'm about to write callous and even cruel, but it is something that I think must be pointed out because there are others in Canada who will find themselves in similar circumstances.

As an American I'm periodically reminded of Canada's nationalized health care system. I'm told that the medical expenses of Canada's citizens are paid for by the state, with the necessary funds coming from taxpayer support. I'm told that this approach is better than ours. If that is true, then why does a site such as this one exist? Why is it necessary to reach out and ask for help? Why is the Canadian health care system not working?

How many others will there be who fall ill whose lives are anonymous and quiet, who cannot depend on help from distant admirers? Will their deaths be anonymous and quiet as well?

It doesn't matter to me what path Canada takes in addressing the health care needs of its citizens. Private, public, or something else, it doesn't matter what it is...provided it works as advertised. Right now it clearly isn't doing that.
