Often someone will email me and ask if I’m a real doctor or nurse or if I’m licensed in Natural Healing. The answer is “No” I’m none of the above. Although Dr Patel has told Geezer and me both many times that I would have made a super doctor and it sometimes boggles his mind the things I can turn around with my home remedies… Prescription drugs ‘treat your symptoms’. To really heal your body you have to go all the way down to the core of the problem and reverse what happened to give you the symptoms you have. I believe God gave us all…bodies that will heal themselves if we’ll just give our bodies the nutrients it needs to do that healing. AND he gave us all of those nutrients in the plants and seeds and herbs that he put on this earth. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 🙂 
My own introduction into natural healing came way back in the summer of 1977. We were all having a little family get together at daddy and mom’s and one of my sisters mentioned a teacher that had just passed away from cancer that lived just about 3 blocks up the street and he was only 35. My other sister said “Well that’s odd because on the other side of that block…a little 12 year old boy has just passed away and he also had an unusual cancer. We just started naming young people we knew that had recently passed from cancer or had it right then…and I grabbed a piece of paper and pen and started jotting these names down. When we were done with our list….we had 16 adults under 50 (most in their mid to late 30’s)…mostly moms and 8 kids around 8 years old.
I took my list home and when we got the kids to bed…I sat down with Geezer and made a rough draft map of Massac County and pin pointed where most of these folks lived. I realized that we had ‘clusters’ of young people dying or already gone…from cancer and many of them had rare forms of cancer. I’ve never been a good follower because I’m a control freak and like to be sure things are done JUST RIGHT according to MY standards which are very high. 🙁 SOOO I got up the next morning and got the Geezer off to work and the boys in school and got Kim settled playing beside the kitchen table and I started calling folks to try to find someone to come and find out what in the world was going on in Massac County that was killing so many young people. I called the Center For Disease Control, The EPA, the woman in Tom’s River, New Jersey who had just battled this same issue in her own town and I can’t even remember what offices I called that day but I was on the phone almost all day long and our phone bill from that day could have bought someone a nice used car. Geezer nearly had a stroke when it came. But each office would refer me to someone else and that person would refer me on. I was so frustrated at the end of the day…I told Geezer…NO ONE CARES…what’s killing young people in Massac County…so my best bet for my own family is to start studying ways to make the body strong and healthy and have dynamite immune systems to hopefully ward off any horrible diseases. Back then I was a book fanatic, so I headed to the library and brought home a few books to get my start in studying building up the immune system. I wanted to learn everything I could about cancer because it was even in my own family big time. I had already lost most of my aunts and uncles and a few cousins at a young age but it just hadn’t dawned on me, I guess I thought we were a family with bad genes. 🙁 I have since put together my own personal library on natural healing and it contains about 200 plus books. On August 1st of 1977 Geezer’s dad had a massive heart attack and we were at the hospital all day and night and into the next day. When we came home…there was a note on our front door from the EPA and they had come to Massac County to check our air and water and this and that because of the call I had made to their office a couple of weeks before. They said I would be hearing from them soon. When their letter came…It listed all the deaths in Massac County from cancer over the previous 10 years and said comparing our population to the PLANTS in the area…meaning Allied Chemical and others…it was not unusual to have so many cancers … but expected. WHAT?????????? I still have that information in a big manila envelope. Well I did many things after that letter came and I won’t go into all of them here. But I was livid that these big offices thought having big plants in the area was more important than people’s lives. I made quite a stir for a little squirt of a mom that was only about 30 or so years old at the time. One day my phone rang and it was a man who said he didn’t want to scare me but I’d better stop my cancer investigation because there were people who would stop me if I didn’t stop on my own. He said he was also in a position to try and make a difference and he had also tried to look into these things and he had been threatened. Well…what NOW? Do I take a chance of being shot by a sniper while I’m gardening…or do I just drop it like I’m expected to and let friends and family fall prey to these poisonous fumes in my path… Geezer said “I’m the head of this house and YOU WILL stop your investigation” So I did…and I threw myself head first into studying healing the body naturally and building up the immune system and I’ve never looked back. In the late 1990’s I was in Golden Carrot Health Food Store one day and they had a sign up that they were hiring. I was already obsessed with studying natural healing …and our kids were all out on their own now and Geezer was still working at EEI…so I said to the owner “I’d LOVE to work under you for a few months just to study and learn from you. But now I have no desire to have a career…I’d only be here for a few months…but for that time…I’d be the most dedicated employee you’ve ever had.” Delores said “You’re hired” :-)I stayed about 9 months or so and learned volume’s. I’d see people walk through the door of that health food store and they had just been given no hope and 2 months to live and as a last resort … they’d come there to see if Delores and Jesse could help them. And 9 times out of 10…they did find their healing. On my first day at work…I had 3 men come in separately one behind the other…just after the store opened. They were all there to buy supplies for the Hallelujah Acres program. And they were buying videos and books and talking to each other about the miracles they had seen with this program and I had never heard of it so I asked them about it. They all said the main thing was that it had healed cancers in their own families and now they were each spreading the word and helping other friends to heal their own bodies. Their stories were amazing! I talked to Delores about the Hallelujah Acres program off and on that day and when I left that day I had bought all the videos and the 3 books. On my first day at work I had spent $87 and that was with my discount. 🙂 I took them all home and that night Geezer set down and watched the video’s with me. And I was HOOKED! Geezer had reservations because there was no Rib Eye Steaks or Ice Cream on this diet…but he agreed to go on it with me for 30 days just to see if we could tell a difference in our own bodies…even though we had no physical problems to heal. After the first week of juicing twice a day and eating mostly raw foods and no processed foods…I noticed I kept forgetting to put my glasses on…I usually wear them on my head in case I need them in an emergency 🙂 But one day I had gotten all the way to town and realized I didn’t take my glasses and “I” was DRIVING. And that was on week ONE. My vision…without sugar and high carbs in my diet and drinking carrot juice daily…had improved tremendously and that quick. Our energy level just went through the roof. And I’ve always had a horrific time with brain fog…the DOCTOR has always said it’s because of my bad thyroid…but now I think it’s really from sugar…because my brain fog just …took a vacation…while we were on this diet. But after 3 weeks Geezer said “You know…I’ll have to admit…I feel so much better…but we don’t really have any problems and I’m really missing my steak and ice cream…so why don’t we just do the juicing and kind of go back to our own way of eating. So we did. I could write a book on the healing stories from Golden Carrot. One day a man called and he said he was a Baptist preacher from Wingo, Ky and he had been to 5 doctors for help with his reflux…but still couldn’t sleep in his bed. He had to sleep in his recliner to get any rest at all. I talked to him about 45 minutes on the phone that day and told him exactly what to do. He had called on Friday…and he promised to follow this plan for one week and see what happened. On Tuesday I was in the back of the store and I heard this big booming voice that said “I’m looking for Kay Comer” I ran to the front thinking it was a police officer and someone in my family had had a wreck or something … only to find this big tall and burly Baptist preacher…who stretched out his arms to me and said “I’ve come all the way from Wingo to give you a hug…because I started your plan on Friday and by Saturday night I was sleeping in my own bed” HALLELUJAH !!!!!! :8) Geezer used to ask if I could tell the people that came in Golden Carrot who really stuck to a healthy juicing program from all the rest and I could. I called them my Cartoon People. Because even those in their 80’s and 90’s had the most vibrant personalities and the rosiest cheeks. They were just sharp as tacks…looked good…were almost devoid of wrinkles…it was like I was watching a movie of make believe old people. hahaha And they’d come in and buy 25 pounds of carrots and many would lug their own things to the car. Well I HAVE almost written a book. But I LOVE talking about natural healing and living. We’ll talk more about it later. But another very busy day ahead for me and Geezer on this floor project…right now we don’t even HAVE a floor in there…but we have some beautiful blonde ‘joists’ 🙂 so I guess I’d better get with it. Peace and love from the canyon…I love you all gobs…and thanks so much for stopping by!
