I’m feeling it too. I haven’t put out a video in a week. Haven’t even started a new one yet. There’s too much. Overwhelmed and anxious constantly. But I know when I’m supposed to I will. Sometimes I think of it like this... we’re the β€œshock absorbers”. All of this is too much, we all get it first, before the rest of the population comes to terms with it. β€œIt” being whatever disturbing information or hidden truths, etc. and it’s not easy. But we’re stronger than we realize, that’s why we’re doing it. My heart goes out to you and Lewis. β™₯️

Update. Ive been inspired by one of Liam Scheff’s old rant-videos, and started my new video, from it. Just now. Also, on my live channel last night, I streamed Guinea Pig Kids, followed by Positively False, and in the chat room we had many people sending positive vibes, love and prayers for you and Lewis. Thanks again, for EVERYTHING

Oh, Celia, my heart is hurting for Lewis and for you, but I’m also hoping to soon hear news of healing for both of you.

Even when you can’t find words, you write eloquently.

You are wise to resist antibiotics as a wrecked gut can set you up for even more autoimmune illness and associated problems.

Have you looked for a functional medicine practitioner? I have heard some lyme disease patients have had success with functional medicine approaches.

And I wonder if putting Lewis on a grain-free diet would help? You have to transition gradually (mixing old with new food in greater percentages over a week+) to minimize digestive stress, but since carbs are bad for human cancer patients, reducing them may help kitty cancer patients, too.

Hugs to you and Lewis πŸ€—

I can't say if any of this will prove at all helpful to you, I've decided to share with you (lengthy) abbreviations of my experiences.

I have a rare disabling genetic disease. When active it is systemically weakening at which point I am prone to uncommon life-threatening bacterial infections. I have had bone infections, tendon and joint infections, necrotic skin infections, strep g blood infection. I live in LA and have a highly regarded Infectious Disease specialist. About 8 years ago, after having spent a couple of years on home care IV antibiotics followed by 2 years of oral antibiotics it looked like I was developing a bone infection in my face/jaw. My Infectious Disease doctor was trying to treat with a different antibiotic before going back on IV when she suggested I place a piece of copper in my pillowcase and perhaps start wearing copper. I thought she was crazy. She explained that copper has an antibacterial halo of about 20", it's proven and some hospitals are starting to implement copper fixtures in ICU's but in the US there was resistance. A few weeks later I saw my skin infection specialist, a research dermatologist. I kind of whispered this to her and with a straight face she told me she has her research incubators specially made incorporating copper and now her research doesn't get ruined by bacteria. When I looked uncertain she started pulling up study after study. I've been off antibiotics ever since. Have not had to have IV antibiotics, no oral antibiotics, I haven't really needed to see either doctor, have just gone for a couple of follow ups. When my family members have had infections, they may go to the doctor and may even get a prescription but they always start wearing copper and it always works. I have a couple of broken teeth, broken off at the gum line. Due to my condition I have to have dental work done in the hospital. I went to arrange care just as the pandemic was starting 2 years ago then they phoned and cancelled everything because of the pandemic. Still haven't gone in, no infection, no discomfort, nothing. And I've been hospitalized with previous jaw infections as well as facial cellulitis before. I don't know if copper can help Lyme, but you've got nothing to lose. My wee 6lb dog Simon used to get infections, I put a copper ring on his collar, he hasn't had an infection in at least 4 years. Can't be a placebo effect on him.

Now about your wee friend. At a certain point one of my doctors found research from the late 1970's that showed a cheap over the counter medicine seemed to help my genetic condition. The more established treatment is $120,000 for a 4 day round and is contraindicated for me because I also have a clotting disorder. I was doubtful but basically fully disabled at that point, this was about 5ish years ago, I decided it couldn't hurt to give it a shot. Now, I am not cured by any means but I am no longer bed-bound, no longer on home nursing care, I cook, clean, garden and can go for walks or short errands. Close to a miracle. Patience, I'm almost there. When my primary doctor next saw me after I started this, he was shocked. He knows the other doctor, I explained everything, he was amazed. He looked over his shoulder then whispered, "I know it cures cancer but I had idea it could help your condition. Hm. Makes sense." I was floored and in a way, devastated. We had just lost a dear friend to cancer. I went home and researched on my own.

Yes. Cimetidine is known to cure cancer. They think it makes cancer cells less sticky in some way. It's a standard treatment in Japan for colorectal cancer, if I recall correctly. I don't know if it's safe for cats or how much a cat would take. It's sold over the counter in 200 mg tablets for gastric reflux, I think in Japan they were using 800 mg 2x a day. For my genetic condition I was taking 5,000 mg a day for a time, presently I take 2,400 mg a day.

I rarely share these things because 1 I am not a doctor or veterinarian and 2 I know it sounds crazy. Perhaps ask your vet if cimetidine is safe for cats and at what dose and then go from there to see about increasing it.

You will both be in my thoughts and prayers. My little Simon is sleeping against my lap, out giant Glitter (20lb+ cat) is cuddled beside him, we will all dream of happier times for you and Lewis.

This is utterly remarkable. Thank you and God bless you! I've been onto copper bracelets but got thrown off the path. I also read a book (brand new, will post) about the importance of copper supplementation and I took about 3 mg a day for about a month. But the bracelet and the pillow insert...truly fascinating. How can this be? I will get copper for both myself and Lewis!

You can produce ferropoptosis of cancer cells by implementing liquid Artemisinine (also can add real powdered herb from capsules with Full Spectrum Wormwood / Artemisia Annua) together with Ferrum Sulphate, as I've read in one of the published studies on PubMed.

β€œThe past week has been very challenging. For all of us, I suspect.

We crave relief, mercy, some kind of break in the white-knuckle ride.”

I didn’t realize how much I was feeling this way until I read these words you wrote today. Wow. And the white-knuckle aspect seemingly has no let up. When the endless wild ride comes close to being overwhelming, I can’t tell you how helpful it is for me to freeze-frame for a moment and realize we are all going through this together. But the big problem is, I think, that we do not have close daily contact other than through writings and videos of kindred spirits weathering the storm from their own undisclosed locations. But I am so thankful for them and for you and for everyone here.

And on top of it all you are having to go through this awfulness with dear Lewis and your Lyme disease. And I have been diagnosed with a hernia!

Finally, I completely echo the thoughts of Margaret Anna Alice: I applaud your resistance to that long course of antibiotics; a functional medicine practitioner would be highly advisable; and I think investigating a grain-free diet for Lewis might be helpful. Here’s a link about that: https://www.onlynaturalpet.com/blogs/holistic-healthcare-library/is-grain-free-food-right-for-your-dog-or-cat

Hanging in there and sending hugs and love to you and Lewis! 🌟β™₯️

If you need hernia surgery, check out Shouldice Hospital in Toronto. I've had 2 hernias repaired there. That was back in the 90s, but I bet they haven't changed a bit....all they do there are hernias, and people who are in-the-know travel there. Their procedure is bulletproof, and their aftercare is beyond compare.

Thank you serafino! I’m in California and have an appointment with a hernia surgeon soon. By the way, did your surgeon use the mesh method to repair yours?

Expand full comment
serafino bueti's avatar

Absolutely not! They use a stainless steel, zigzag stitch that is indestructible and totally safe. I know a few people who got the mesh, and it failed, and had to be re-done. One cousin of mine, big muscular guy, had his fail twice. I also know people who had success with the mesh, so there's that. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck.

Oh Celia I feel your everything. If we don’t feel these things we are soulless. The things that have, are and will happen are so overwhelming I sometimes think the impossible and then remind myself that we can never, ever, ever, ever give up or in. We can take a break, find our boots, sit with those we love, take an icebath, smoke a joint…and then face the shit show, a bit calmer maybe? I don’t know but I know I’m really glad I met you and I’m sending you and Lewis a warm hug.

β€œWe ourselves shall be loved for awhile and forgotten.” In this β€˜awhile’ phase for ourselves, I definitely love the ones who through their work and fortitude have been seeking and finding truth, letting others share in their journey, bringing to us as Keats might say, β€œbeauty”, and inspiring us with their genuine thoughts and encouragement along the way. Thank you.

P.S. From what I’ve read and seen, think any animal in the care of a Farber sister (e.g. cats, bunnies) got a sweet deal in the draw for a good life. Hope Lewis gets better.

β€œReal isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'

'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.

'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'

'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'

'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.” The Velveteen Rabbit

My daughter just called to ask that I write to you. We both follow you but I hadn't read your recent post. I'm a homeopath and if I could be so bold as to suggest that you find a good veterinary homeopath locally or write to Will Falconer on line https://vitalanimal.com who is a brilliant one and has practiced homeopathy for about 40 years, and explain what is going on for Lewis, I'm sure he can help. You might be able to save yourself more heartbreak and a surgery. I treat all my animals homeopathically and my children's dear animals and friends too and magic happens when you get the remedy right. It's the same with Lyme disease. I live in upstate NY which is Lyme infested and it's so difficult to avoid Lyme. I'm happy to speak to you directly if you want and otherwise, I wish you the very best. My animals are my dearest loves and I thinking about them hurting or ill is such a difficult thing. If you haven't used homeopathy before, now is a very good time. Sometimes the best thing is to remove the tumor and treat homeopathically instead of with drugs but that's something that needs to be figured out. I hold you in my healing thoughts. Warm wishes, Jill Kellner Ithaca, NY

I’m sending you and Lewis all my love.

I think you’re right they take our ills. I lost my first dog to lung cancer and it broke me, literally. I was a three pack a day smoker and my honey bunny ate that disease for me. I would rather it had been me.

Btw look into turpentine. Google, Dr. Jenifer Daniels turpentine if you haven’t heard of it. Also, Chlorine Dioxide as well. Chorine dioxide is potent.

We, your readers are blessed because of you. You tell us the truth no matter how difficult and we appreciate it. We are learning from you to face our own truths and to be open about it.

I’m sending all my love. You and Lewis are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you John. I am sorry about honey bunny, it hurts just to think about it. You have me thinking they really DO take bullets for us. My father has a dog when he was a child named Honey.

Lewis is next to me and although it's been bleeding and scary today, I just felt it and I could swear it's smaller. So maybe it is collapsing and shrinking, from the colloidal silver? It's very special colloidal silver. I'll say more about this later but for now, the company is called Nano Silver Moon. I also did a poultice with castor oil and turmeric.

I think maybe bleeding is a good sign. I am noticing that we see almost everything backwards.

I feel for what you are going through. I have dealt with toxic mold off & on for 20 years. similar to Lyme. Ozone therapy treats both and cancer and covid. I got my own equipment to do at home as often as I like. Also molecular hydrogen water. Check out Simply O3. Zen Honeycutt recommended ION Gut Health from Zach Bush when I met her when she was in DC for the rally in January. And you can check out https://beatcancer.org for the best info esp on nutrition, detox & biological repair. I used to work with them when I had a practice in psychoneuroimmunology and an interest in exceptional healing. I wish you and Lewis the best.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this writing and sharing it. I feel a kindred soul in your voice. I too have been EMF injured along with my daughter. I had 14 smart meters on wall of my bedroom and the wifi box next to my bed. My daughter always climbed in bed with me back then. Later that year she was diagnosed with L, too. (I won't say the word as it may reinforce its return. I had a test that said indeterminate. Somehow through that hair-raising journey, completely disassociated, brain-fogged and stress unlike any other time I remember, I found alternative treatment. Allopathy was a dead end; I quickly came to the conclusion that allopathic world was not the panacea for us, especially the gut-damaging antibiotics. Through a friend of a friend who had been treated with biophoton therapy, we began out journey back to healthier shoreline. I also want to put a shout out to CD (Chlorine Dioxide, aka Miracle Mineral Solution, MMS) I bought Jim Humble's book on how to use it (Today's best one on its use according to Dr. K is written by Andrew Kulker (sp?) His work is also on line) If my cat (I have two cats actually)every had a tumor such as you describe, I would treat it with CD (drops in reverse-osmosis water or into distilled water. The CD is two bottles that must be mixed 1:1 in drops, starting very low dose and working up from there. It has to be taken two hours away from food also.) You might find an MMS group discussion on line, but do know the government has ban CD for public use. However, hospitals and public water systems and such can use it. In the L world it is well-known secret. I do not know if any of this helps you Celia, but wow, what a salve your writing is for me today. I could not put two sentences together when we got sick. Perhaps the stress of knowing I had to find a way to get my daughter better was a stressor so intense that I could not write anything then. That journey began eight years ago; I am only now finding my voice again. Blessings to you. Your sister's beautiful book about her rabbit is a treasure. I deeply appreciate you both. PS I just read the suggestion below from another reader of Turpentine, which I would look into for Lewis, If it were me. Tom Cowan had a whole workshop on it with Andrew Kaughman and how to use it for many things. Dr. K is a big proponent, too. The CD can be put directly on skin; just be sure it is one to one, a drop from each bottle. (One of the bottles is hydrochloric acid, so that is enormously important.) If you could get a near infrared light to shine on the tumor, that would also help. My dentist, a biological one who is super holistic, uses a scaler laser light. You can find it on the internet, but it starts at $2000 - 6000, depending on which model and light colors you buy. I think the basic one if you could order it from the manufacture in VT. would be great. It is handheld and my cats are drawn to it whenever I borrow it from he dentist. Yes and Amanda Volmer recently had two three-hour interviews about the use of DMSO for healing so many things. Maybe you could check into DMSO. I haven't used it but I have it here. One last thing, the castor oil, have you thought of putting it on Lewis's tumor?

Celia Farber's avatar

Bonnie, thank you. It helps me to see others who had what sounds like my own illness as it helps me forgive myself for getting nothing done or very little. I just had dishes in the sink 3 days and finally did them and it took me an hour. It's really hard when everything that "normal" healthy people can do, it can be like Mt. Everest for a lyme person. I took a long nap earlier with Lewis. Sometimes I get so tired I almost cry from fatigue, but it's not exactly fatigue. It's an absence of cellular mitochondrial energy. SUPER IMPORTANT not to be around people who may pass judgement. When I write to you all I feel a little more connected, because I sense that people are hearing what I'm communicating. That's everything. I think Dr. Brooks is right and I do have to take it seriously. There are so many great ledes on this thread and so much love and care. I am very blessed by all of you.

Yes, I so get it. Your piece today was so heartbreakingly beautiful that I thought to myself if Celia can write with such grace and beauty, all the way through illness that I know firsthand has felt like a thick molasses of thought and perception, I can, being somewhat healed now, write and tell her how dearly I understand and drink in the hope transferred from the telling of her journey to resume my own, with as much mitochondrial juice as I can summon.

The EMF and L disease has been my proverbial Red pill for the past eight years; were it not for L, I would have been first in line to roll up my sleeve for a V. What a strange and complete Gift it turned out to be. I simply had no idea, was a sheep to allopathy. When it hit my daughter, hit us, and I went deep into that darkness with a fever to learn everything I could (with a broken brain - however that exactly happened). Result, I awakened and knew to pay very close attention from then on. Never will I go back to sleep. Would not even if I could. Thank you for helping me stay conscious at the wheel today with the Beauty of such a share, when at times I lull into a forgetfulness of all the Gifts available right here, right now. As long as we can still connect with fellow human beings our fearless furry friends, we are not alone. I connected those dots today because of what you wrote. Thank you.

We are hearing you Celia. Take comfort in that. So important to feel connected. You are appreciated and loved. Animals communicate through pictures , so create an image/a picture of your cat getting healthy and when you listen to the Hz healing music, SEE his little fur body full of light inside and all around. Do this for yourself too. I hope this doesn’t sound too woo woo or corny, but call on Archangel Raphael (he represents healing) . Close your eyes and imagine an enormous Angel with a huge wingspan enveloping you and Lewis. Create moments of stillness , even if it’s 5-10 min everyday. And if you can get yourself to water , float! It’s a way your body can completely de-stress. Float and be in stillness. You will begin to heal. ✨
