Doing Away with Chemotherapy through knitting?

I was listening to the Knitmore Girls Podcast

the other day as I was working

on my wire sculptures.

They reviewed a new Cat Bordhi book

and my ears perked up when they said

that ALL of the proceeds from the sale of this book

go to funding research and test trials

for a new method of treating cancer.

This method would do away with chemotherapy!!

Can you imagine??

Without belaboring the point,

I will say that chemotherapy is not the most fun party

I've ever been to!

I am very active and think of myself as being 

physically fit,

and yet this treatment has laid me low.

I know it is only temporary,

and I will do anything to obliterate the 

cancer cells from my body,

but it is not fun.

The new form of treatment involves taking

some of the body's own cancer-fighting t-cells

and growing many, many more of them in a laboratory setting,

then reinstalling them into the body of the cancer patient.

No hair loss, no nausea, no killing of good cells 

in order to kill the bad cells.

I urge you to purchase this book -

it's only $20 -

and the cause is so well worth it.

You can read much more about the treatment on Cat's website,

and you can listen to an interview with Cat

on the Twinset Designs podcast.

Cat Bordhi has a way with knitting needles

and techniques.

She makes the most intricate directions 

EASY.

And she designs wonderful things -

the newest example being her FELFS:

felted footwear for families.

I can't wait to get yarn 

and begin knitting Felfs for my entire family.

Cat even provides a source for Felf soles,

if you so desire.

So please check this out,

and do your part to obliterate the need for

chemotherapy.....

God forbid you or someone you dearly love

is required to endure this hideous treatment.

I'm off to order yarn for my first pair of Felfs!

thanks for stopping by

peace to you and yours!
