Cancer is a large family of diseases, which share a common outward characteristic.

>> “ she is going to beg Him to send us a cure for this horrible disease.” <<

The true cure for every disease is already here: remove the cause!

Pastor Henry Wright has admirably demonstrated the truth of that assertion to all that are willing to learn.

Where did you read that this was for prostate and bladder cancer?

The way I see it, God was ready to bring my angel home. Cancer was just the Earthly force that killed her body.
In truth she was never my angel. She was His angel all along, and when He was ready for her, no cure for cancer would have kept her here.

I knew a house painter that would find a fire ant nest and bury his hand up to his wrist in it before he started painting. Claimed the fire ant venom relieved his arthritis in his hand.

My prayers are with you and your dear husband...
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Matthew 18:20

“Be still, and know that I am God;
Psalm 46:10

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1

(Jesus) bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness -- by whose stripes you were healed.
1Pet 2:24

your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Isa 58:8

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you[e] known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
John 17:20-26

Loving Father, we..their FRiends, as praying intercessors for this man, entrust him to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed. Make skilled the work of the surgeon and that of his team for it is unto their knowledge and skill that we, as intercessors for her husband, give him for healing. That he may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around Him.

Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, grant him the courageous, humble acceptance of the surgery which awaits him, and let this be the relief and cure which he and his family and FRiends seek. I pray you, Lord, that this procedure be without complications and that his recovery will be speedy and complete.

Heavenly Father, You know every fiber of our being and have willed that we were born. I beseech You, Lord, to guide the minds and hands of those who will operate on him so that he may be restored to health and well-being. Help us, Lord, to pray with all my heart and allow our burden of concern and anxiety and that of his family to be lifted up with the knowledge that You are with them now and always. And Lord, when he awakes from future treatments, take him and his family by your loving hand and guide them towards a life of thanksgiving and peace.

Lord of all, her dear husband is suffering, his family and friends are suffering, we ask to do what is right, good and best for them. As it fits your plan, heal him and mend his body and lovingly grant him days of better health and strength. As he awaits your grace and blessing please grant him and his family an extra measure of patience, endurance and perseverance. Lord we know You are able to heal. Grant him and his family the wisdom to understand Your timing.
Let it be done in Your glory, Lord.
We praise and glorify Your name,
Amen.

Could be legit, insect venom can numb the nerves (like botox) so maybe he just didn’t feel the pain from the arthritis.

I think you would want to build up a tolerance to the venom before shoving the whole arm in though!

Probably not, because it's the action of the toxin, and not the action of your immune system that produces the effect. So unless you immunotherapy is some kind of antigen specific systematic desensitization, the same chemicals might not be involved.

The other thing is, that what you're allergic to might have nothing to do with this toxin. This is a very specific toxin produced by a very specific wasp. Most "venom" is actually a complex mixture of a number of different toxins, binders, and other supporting chemicals anyway, so even if you were getting immunotherapy for this particular wasp, that wouldn't mean you were allergic to, or targeting relief from, this particular component.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that if you've got a history of prostate cancer in your family it's better to rely on regular PSA + digital exams than to think you're protected by wasp antigens at this early point in the research...

I never kill wasps that are not attacking me and don’t pose a significant risk to others. I guess I suspected that they had such a profoundly important use (other than as very effective insect control.)

I feel the same way about spiders. Specially outdoors.

Why not it can't be worse then Chemo, slightly more painful but you would get over it much quicker.

Ignoring the "/s", let's get real.

No need to have a war with a wasp colony. With the accelerated advancements in genetic understanding and research, the "MP1 (Polybia-MP1" will be synthesized, and the related toxin adapted to other cancers.

You and I may not live long enough to see it, but it is likely, eventually.

yes. the math is the theory is the universe, is the Creation. Stephen Hawking is wrong because has been dead for 8 years. They move him with fishing line.
