Michael Bublé’s family share a statement of faith about son Noah

Cancer, Hope, Michael Bublé

I have a confession to make. One of my favorite performers is Canadian Jazz singer Michael Bublé, 41. I haven’t got a bucket list, but if I did — attending a Bublé concert would be on it.

So, like many, I was shocked to hear Michael’s sad announcement that doctors diagnosed his son Noah, 3, with cancer.

Michael and his wife, who also have a son Elias born earlier this year, initially thought Noah had the mumps. However, a visit to a doctor in Buenos Aires — later confirmed by a doctor in Los Angeles — presented the grim diagnosis of cancer.

On his Facebook page, Michael and his wife Luisana Lopilato asked for prayers.

“Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well. At this difficult time, we ask only for your prayers and respect for our privacy. We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Michael spoke of the impact the devastating news had on him and his wife:

“You are just scared all the time, because you love him so much, you can’t ever, ever think of a world without him.”

But as the family enters this difficult hour, Brandee Bublé, Michael’s sister, posted a statement of faith on her nephew’s cancer. The message portrayed on a blackboard quotes 1 Corinthians 13:12:

“And now these remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

It talks about the power of faith, hope and love.

There is an interesting verse in Isaiah that many of us casually quote from memory. It reads in Isaiah 40:31, “Those who wait (Hebrew ‘gwh’) upon their Lord will renew their strength.”

I have always envisioned the word ‘wait’ to mean silently, waiting upon God in prayer.

But this is not how the Hebrew word ‘qwh’ (wait) should be translated. It means to be expectantly waiting for someone to arrive. In other words you know that help is on the way and you are constantly checking the horizon to see if it has arrived.

Because of this, the word is often translated ‘hope.’

‘Gwh’ is also derived from the Hebrew word ‘cord’ or rope. So it leaves the thought that our hope and expectation that God will deliver is the very thing that connects us to God’s strength.

We need to be expecting a miracle from God. This is our hope. This is our expectation. And with this connection we can soar as an eagle.

but those who hope (gwh) in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31 NIV)

5 steps in fighting cancer

1 Increase Oxygen: is to help red blood cells float freely without being stuck to each other [http://www.naturalnews.com/032096_oxygenation_body.html] B17 Amygdalin

2 Lower acidity: [http://www.livestrong.com/article/321217-foods-that-reduce-acidity-in-your-body/]
By eating more foods that produce alkaline chemicals, you can lower the amount of acidity in your body.
Vegetables that have a bitter taste can alert you to the presence of alkaline substances, since these chemicals are typically bitter. The most alkaline vegetables, according to Trans4mind.com, are raw spinach, parsley, celery, garlic and barley grass. Beets, lettuce, zucchini, carob and lettuce are also moderately alkaline vegetables, and when consumed in moderation can help reduce the acidity of the body. Other alkaline-producing vegetables include Brussels sprouts, cabbage, asparagus, collard greens, mustard greens, dandelions, broccoli, rutabaga, peppers and peas.

3 Boost the immune system: [http://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/foods-that-boost-the-immune-system#GreenTea]
Citrus :Vitamin C is thought to increase the production of white blood cells. These are key to fighting infections.
Because your body doesn’t produce or store it, daily intake of vitamin C is essential for continued health.
Red Bell Peppers: have twice as much vitamin C, as well as being a rich source of beta-carotene. Vitamin C may help maintain healthy skin and beta-carotene helps keep your eyes and skin healthy.Broccoli: is super-charged with an arsenal of vitamins and minerals. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, as well as numerous antioxidants, broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables you can put on your table. The key to keeping its power intact is to cook it as little as possible — or better yet, not at all!
Garlicic: Studies by the National Institute of Food Science and Technology have shown that garlic helps to lower cholesterol and may prevent hardening of arteries. Garlic’s immune-boosting properties seem to come from a heavy concentration of sulfur-containing compounds, such as allicin. Ginger: may help decrease chronic pain and may possess cholesterol-lowering properties, according to recent studies.
Spinach: Spinach made our list not just because it’s rich in vitamin C but also because it’s packed with numerous antioxidants and beta-carotene, which may increase the infection-fighting capability of our immune systems. It’s best cooked as little as possible so that its nutrients are retained. Yogurt: When selecting yogurt look for ones that have “live and active cultures” printed on the label. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, these cultures may stimulate your immune system to help fight diseases. Almonds: When it comes to preventing and fighting off colds. A half-cup serving provides nearly 100 percent of the recommended daily amount. Green Tea: Both green and black teas are packed with flavonoids, a type of antioxidant. Where green tea really shines is in its levels of epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, another powerful antioxidant.

5 Reduce sugar:

Cinnamon, Fenugreek, Garlic, Avocados and Nuts, Hues of Blue (berries) Cherry Reds, A Spoonful of Vinegar Makes the Sugar Go Down, Chia seeds to barley and lemons to sweet potatoes.

May Christ and His Holy Mother Maria be allways with you.
