"I posted this before but had to take it down because our oldest granddaughter, Stephanie, had not been told yet and we didn't want her to find out via FB.
I have not wanted to share this information with anyone this soon. But, I am being told "people around the world LOVE Bernie, they would help if they knew". We shall see: Bernie is suffering from 4th Stage Lung Cancer. He wants his album released in his lifetime (if you have not already, please go to the indiegogo page (see Kevin's posts for the actual URL). Then, we will address trying to find a cure for him. We have rejected chemotherapy (at this point) but he is undergoing naturopathic treatment (for which we are trying to raise money) which does the same but without the toxic chemical stew. There is a man (Dr. James Forsythe in Reno NV) who has, reportedly, had success with late stage cancer patients. PLEASE do NOT start inundating me with methodologies. Dr. Forsythe reportedly uses a combination of naturopathic herbs and supplements AND low dose chemotherapy with cannabis oil. Please say whatever you have to say to whichever Diety/Great Spirit/Allah/God/Jehovah in whom you believe -- and should Bernie be appearing somewhere GO SEE HIM.....just don't talk about this to him. It is totally overwhelming for him and he does NOT want a lot of emotional histrionics. (this is, of course, Judie)
1-1-16: despite my request that you not inundate me with all kinds of "this will cure him". Some of you decided to do it anyway so as you're going to do it, send them to purplewoo222@gmail.com. I'm gonna find one person to investigate all of them because I just do not have time. It would be very helpful if when you do that if you have already found out if it will accept Medicare. If not, ask what it costs If you can't do those two things, then don't send it

Hope this helps!
