Confident Expectation- Ronda Kuehl
Donation protected
"In the midst of all the limitations of my situation, I choose to shift my focus on what I have, not what I don't have. I am rich in friendship and a loving family, I am humbled by the gifts I have received by so many of you in many different ways this year... my eyes are fixed on the One who came so long ago who is the Father of all good things. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him."

Cancer Treatment at Naturopathic Clinic in BC
❤️Ronda is kicking up her natural treatments that include sending her blood off to Germany where they will do an extensive analysis and write a report. Then they will develop a treatment specifically for her. She will be getting IV treatments at least twice a week among other treatments and supplements. No guesswork. All tailored to what her body will respond to. Thank you to any of you who donate towards the fight of her life. She requires $30K. Therefore, our goal is set to $60K to include last year’s treatment that she benefited tremendously from. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE! Please continue to donate! Even small amounts add up! Please pray! Her update is below.
Ronda's Update 2021
A quick update on the response of my doctors to my last (disappointing) results.
A few oncologists got together to talk about my case and agreed it would be advisable to go back on chemotherapy but try 2 new ones this time. She read me the side effects and then told me that they don't expect to get rid of the cancer. All they wish to do is give me more time. Not much confident expectation there.
Talking to my naturopath today and to the doctors in Mexico, they have lots more tricks up their sleeve to get this thing beat. The problem is that western medicine is free to me but sadly the natural medicine is very expensive. He gave me a breakdown today and it's up around $30K. Yikes! We will start with a specialized blood test that is sent to Germany that analyses everything the doctor will need to know in order to tailor his treatments specifically for my body. That test itself is $5K.
Western medicine is brutally expensive too but I never get a bill.
Some of you are starting to ask if you can help and the answer is, "heck ya!" Its so amazing to me how God tugs at people's hearts just at the right time. I'm doing everything I know to do to get my old but better body back.
Here is a day in the life of Ronda...
- Monday, Wednesday and Friday: pizza oven and a shower
- Starbutts coffee enema 3x a week
- Daily supplements 3-4x a day
- smoothie made by Gary with berries, pineapple, macadamia milk, powdered greens, reds, collagen, magnesium, and a raw egg
- make juice from apple, lemon, celery, beets and carrots
- prepare a mixture of Alpha lipoic acid and DCA and breathe it in through a nebulizer
- sono dynamic therapy (like ultrasound) over my liver
- go on the jiggler to move my lymphatic system
It's a full time job but that's not all I have to do. I'm moving so I have to sort, chuck, post and sell lots and lots of things. (We found a place!) I've been working a couple of days a week and every once in a while I clip my fingernails.
I am fighting hard. I want to hand my grandkids the journals I've been writing in for each of them and not settle for it being a posthumous gift.
Love to you all. You make me smile.

❤️✈️ Hope4Cancer Fundraiser for Ronda - PLEASE SHARE! Please donate! Please pray! Let’s send Ronda on her way! ⛑ — feeling inspired. I have organized this fundraiser for an amazing woman, Ronda, who is filled with hope and confident expectation. Please contribute to her treatment plan beginning in August 2020, described in the above link, Hope4Cancer, and read her story below. Even small amounts add up!
Ronda’s Story 2020
“3 years ago I went to see about why my pinkie finger was losing strength and pushed for an MRI. They lost my requisition but I didn't find that out until 20 months later in the spring of 2019. I finally got the MRI in July last year which showed a growth on the base of my neck. They referred me to a neurosurgeon who I was supposed to see tomorrow (July 29) in Vancouver. Last week they called and said he couldn't see me that day (after waiting for 3 years) because he was going on holidays and rescheduled for September. In the meantime I have been looking into why my liver enzymes are elevated and have found out that I also have growths in there, on my spleen and behind my liver. I got a 'next business day' requisition on Friday for a CT scan but when I phoned to check today, they had it scheduled for August 21. Not exactly next business day.
My naturopath thinks its cancer but that is not an official diagnosis.I refuse to do chemo or radiation so I've been looking into clinics in Mexico. I have decided that the Hope4Cancer clinic is the best option (in the 10s of thousands USD) but we will do what we need to do to look after it properly.I am sure that the cyst on my spine is spreading because both shoulders are in constant pain and I'm getting nerve pain down my left arm. Yesterday numbness in my hand reared its ugly head. and I am having to stop reflexology until further notice.
I hope to be in Mexico by this time next week. Please pray for wisdom, peace, finances and other logistics. Its daunting. But I am not afraid.
I will be updating everyone on my adventure of hope. I'm actually really excited to get there and just get the best treatment from world class experts.
It feels very very surreal, especially since I don't eat Doritos. It doesn't make any sense to me but part of the program is spiritual and emotional counseling in the clinic which I am convinced is a huge factor.
If you are thrown by this news and are tempted to worry... please don't. I'm ok. If you pray, then pray. (Just don't beg God for anything that He's already accomplished!) If you want to contribute, then contribute. If you're a good cook, Gary might need some while I'm away.
I'm inviting you with me as I go down this road that will end very very well. “
