Find out the TRUTH about Terris Fight for life

I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case. Reading this book is like sitting down with Cheryl and Jan, and listening/watching them present the actual evidence and truth about so many things that the mainstream "pro euthanasia" media has refused to tell. You will see the actual hospital documents, police reports, and so much more.

I will warn you though, that once you learn about the judicial misconduct, FL laws broken, the details of Michaels malpractice case,(money was paid under the claim that Terri had a heart attack brought on by potassium imbalance that was undetected. The autopsy confirmed this assumption was bogus, and that Terri never had a heart attack brought on by anything. The news however, is consistently reporting to this day that the autopsy confirmed the heart attack! There is a lot more about the autopsy that has never been reported. The geniuses reported that the autopsy proves Terri was not strangled, however, it only proves that 15 years later, there is no sign of soft tissue damage - nor would there be if someone was strangled that long ago!) Reporters should be charged with a misleading the public charge for purposely reporting assumptions as truth. And why is it that all the TV stations do not disclose that Terris records were SEALED by Judge Greer?

No one reports on the bone scan that indicated a tremendous force hit her, as well as the multiple fractures and other damage. ****HBO Autopsy Dr. Himself, Mr Baden, had commented on the bone scan before Terris death, and suggested there may have been foul play.*** There is so much corruption involved in Terris case, Pro death judges making their political position the law, instead of obeying the law and keeping their opinions out of it! Greer sealed her case, so why isnt any anchors asking about that? Why were Michaels prescribed anti depressant bottles witnessed by the police the night of the "Incident" taken as evidence? Why were Terris friends and family not questioned regarding Michaels attitude, or any marital problems? The first report on what happened at the Schiavo residence, was titled a homicide. Why was it changed? What happened to the woodwards and Bernsteins in our country? Now each network or cable news feeds off the other, like vultures. They report the same story over and over, from reuters or the like, and rarely ever investigate it themselves. Newspapers follow suit. If someone investigated the five different interviews that Schiavo has given to the media and police reports, Michael Schiavo might very well be behind bars, in the cell next to Scott Peterson.

There is actually v ery little difference between the two, the more you learn about what may very well have happened that night to Terry. Yet strangely, Matt Lauer and Larry King, and all the other news media does not bring up these questions, or question Michael why in the 7 years after Terris "incident" did he never ever tell a soul about Terris wishes that for seven years he supposedly denied? No media outlet reported on the testimony that Schiavo told other people that he had no idea what Terri would have wanted, as they had never spoken of something like that happening in any context. The only time Michael did come out with this revelation was after he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and all of a sudden there was a rush to get rid of Terri and whooops, there it is, a million dollar inheritance!

If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person. PERIOD. For all the sappy journalists that report that Michael became a nurse to take care of Terry, the truth is that he did not really "care" for Terry. He bossed around nurses, on a Schiavo power trip but he didnt take care of Terri. Did anyone report on the testimony of nurses that said that Terri would be visibly shaken after his visits, and afraid, crying, etc? Did they report that there were nurses that made entries in Terris medical file about things Michael said or did, or how Terri responded, and Michael would see to it that they were removed?

I could go on and on! If you care about the truth, learn more about this case, not just what you hear your TV anchor saying. We all owe that to Terri, because at the very least, what happened to her will affect all of the laws regarding other disabled people like her.

Of course the "Pro Death" movement hates this book, which is why I see some entries in the reviews desperately trying to persuade others to pass it up. They dont want you to see it, which is why you need to see it. Cheryl, who is by the way, a registered nurse gave up her life on the West coast as a consultant to the Schindlers during the fight for Terris life. She was on the inside, aware of all of the facts regarding Terris injuries, her marriage, the inconsistent interviews, Testimonies regarding the night of Terris "incident", and so much more. Ford and Craddock do the legwork in reading all of the court documents, and bring out the parts that others left buried. Cheryl also led thousands of Terris supporters, that grew once the videos were released. Here michael and Judge Greer were talking of Terri as if she were in a coma, as if she were sleeping and not responsive at all. Greer and Schiavo were furious that the videos were released to the public. That now there was proof that Terri was aware, and did respond to family, dr's questions, and requests, could track things with her eyes. Another fallacy of the autopsy was that Terri could not see. False. It was stated that to be sure that Terri could or could not see, a doctor would have to do just what the videos did. They would have to examine her and see how much she was able to see - and any moron could tell that Terri could see to some extent after recognizing family, and following baloons and lights she was requested to follow. The fight4terri group worked 24/7 through internet emails, faxes, phone calls, letters, protests, to reach those with the power to save Terris life.

Anyone upset about the facts in this book, is really angry that the truth is coming out in it. when the truth comes out, the advocates for people like Terri have their agendas pushed back once again. If people like Terri and others with Alzheimers and brain damage, chronic disease, etc are looked at as liabilities within the health system rather than human beings who still have worth, who still have hope, and who still have a right to live with simple food and water. Terri, was not on any machines as was reported on many programs, she was not weak, my Lord, she lasted 14 days without one drop of water. Many of us who are healthy would not last one quarter of that time.

Without this book, you will be missing a great deal of the story on Terris life, the autopsy, as well as what really happened before, during, and after Terri was injured. The book is well written and what really went on in Terri's life will keep you glued to the pages. I am purchasing additional books for lawmakers in hopes of changing our country's guardianship laws. I would encourage everyone who reads it to do the same, if you want to stop seeing other innocent people like Terri sentenced to death. There are many more than Terri, every day, who die silently, with no one to speak for them. The hospice agenda of starving patients has gone out of control. Terri and others like her, are dying painful, horrible deaths, in rooms far away from Katie Courick, Matt Lauer or Larry King. They are dying with nurses and doctors standing by, ignoring the oath they took not to harm their patients. These are people who never agreed to such torture, and pain. People being starved, guilty of being disabled, and needing someone to bring the food and water to their mouth, to a straw or to a longer straw going into the stomach if their swallowing is affected. there is no difference. The Judge in Terris case (Greer) didnt mandate that she only have the tube taken out, he mandated that even if Terri could eat or drink sustenance by mouth, it would not be offered to her, by his decree. He made sure that police would be there to see that no one allowed Terri to even attempt to eat or drink on her own, regardless of testimony from numerous nurses that she could and did indeed eat on their shifts, jello, pudding and other soft or liquid foods. Instead, given that testimony from multiple sources, Greer made sure that no tests would be done on Terri to confirm whether or not she could eat by mouth! He mandated that Terri do nothing less than DIE. We dont starve murderers, it would be too cruel a death. However, for those with disabilities who can not speak, they are the ones who are forced to suffer that fate, by a Judge who never ever went to see Terri once in all the years that her case was in the courts. Bottom line, we need laws that insure food and water be given to any person without a clear written and signed directive. We need to make sure that men who move on and take another family do not get to decide whether hat happens to the woman they left behind. Every womens group that turned a deaf ear to Terri, should be totally ashamed. ACLU as well. The same Judge that was appointed to watch over Terris medical funds to make sure they were there for her, should not have been able to allow her husband to take them, and buy an expensive lawyer that he could not afford on his own with her medical care money! You will see the judicial misconduct in this case and it will make you scream! If the world knew what was in this book before Terri died, she would be alive right now! My gratitude to Ford and Craddock for such an excellent and much needed book.

>> 10 days later, his wife Rebecca ordered that his food and water tubes be disconnected

Ten whole days! What a thoughtful "wife."

I hope the judge reads up on the law. Guardians MAY NOT order the death of their ward. It's murder. The one and only authority for removing the tube -- a privacy right under the law -- is for the patient himself to refuse medical care with "informed consent." (George Greer skipped that part when he ordered Terri's execution. In her case, informed consent was impossible because she couldn't have know about the future change in the law making PEG tubes "life support.")

Only if the patient is totally incapacitated can the guardian, subject to the ward's court protection, claim a degree of authority to substitute his judgment for what the patient would have wanted.

It took Michael Schiavo and his lawyers seven years and a few changes in the law to forge Terri's suicide note. This homicidal lady is in too much of a hurry.

Thanks, Lesforlife!

Rhodes, Greece (LifeNews.com) -- A new international study finds that about forty percent of patients like Terri Schiavo who are supposedly in a persistent vegetative state are misdiagnosed and another fifty percent of them recover from their situation. The study finds the patients in question were in a minimally conscious state and could improve.

The studies, conducted by researchers in Belgium, found that the level of misdiagnosis has not decreased in the last 15 years. There were presented at the European Neurological Society Meeting in Greece.

Dr. Steven Laureys, from the Coma Science Group at the University of Liиge, stressed during the meeting that the vegetative state in a significant proportion of patients admitted to intensive care may be transitory.

"The study underlines the importance of extreme caution in any decision to limit the life chances of patients during the acute phase of a vegetative state," he said.

Mexico City, Mexico (LifeNews.com) -- After successfully passing a bill to legalize abortion, lawmakers in the nation's federal district are now hoping to legalize euthanasia as well. The measure would legalize so-called passive euthanasia but pro-life advocates worry doctors would eventually actively kill patients.

The Democratic Revolution Party, which was behind the abortion bill filed on Wednesday, is the main sponsor of the euthanasia legislation.

Their measure would allow terminally ill patients to refuse any medical care that would prolong or extend their lives. Family members could make the decision in cases of patients who are unable to make their own choice -- hearkening to the international debate about Terri Schiavo.

Ping to wagglebee thread on the PVS topic I posted above.

This is from LifeSite News...

RHODES, June 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - News-Medical.net is reporting on a series of studies that show a high rate of misdiagnosis and inaccuracy in patients deemed to be in a "permanent vegetative state" (PVS). The researchers say that the problem is grounds for "extreme caution" in decisions that might "limit the life chances" of patients. The pretext of a PVS diagnosis is commonly put forward by the euthanasia movement as a reason to allow euthanasia by dehydration, as in the case of Terri Schiavo.

NEW ORLEANS, June 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Nurses Cheri Landry and Lori Budo, who have admitted to administering lethal doses of medication to patients during the hurricane Katrina disaster, are being offered immunity from prosecution by the Louisiana Attorney General.

CNN reports that in two weeks the two will testify before a Grand Jury that four patients died after being administered what Louisiana's Attorney General, Charles Foti Jr., called a "lethal cocktail" of drugs.

Terri was not PVS. All sorts of cognitive behavior was reported over the years. The PVS diagnosis was made to kill her. She had to be so designated, by law, in order to put her to death. Since Michael refused to divorce her and went to court hours after her death to claim her estate, we can say with great certainty: the PVS diagnosis was made to kill her FOR MONEY.

Baltimore, MD (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll conducted by researchers at Duke University Medical Center and John Hopkins University has real concerns for the pro-life community. It found that 60 percent of Americans who are fertility patients would subject their human embryos to scientific research if they weren't going to birth them.

The poll asked patients what they would do with so-called "leftover" human embryos they had no desire to implant and give birth to in a full-term pregnancy.

RIVERSIDE, California, June 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Erica Goode died of toxic shock syndrome at the age of 21 after an abortion at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Riverside, California. Her mother, Aletheia Meloncon, has filed a wrongful death and medical malpractice suit against the abortionist group.

"I'm hoping to shed light and expose the negligent and improper care my daughter received," Meloncon said Wednesday at Schuler's Riverside office. "I hope this sends a message to Planned Parenthood."

Mikey is and always will be a scumbag. So's his money handling wife whose religion (Catholic) prevented her from marrying a divorced man but she could marry a man who did untold things to Terri and then had her killed. Is that the Catholicism you know, 8mmmauser? I wonder how their household teaches the little children about Thou Shalt Not Kill when MS promotes the culture of death when he's not in the medical wing of the Pinellas Cty Jail.

What Republican Sheriff hired him and then gave him as many days off (a relatively NEW HIRE w/no accrued benefits)as he needed to guard Terri while she was barbarically starved and dehydrated? EVERETT RICE (Greer's bud) hired Mikey and his replacement SHERIFF JIM COATES gave him the time off to make sure Terri would die on Mikey's terms (control freak on steroids?). REPUBLICANS KILLED TERRI. I wish Terri had the turnout that the missing pregnant woman got to comb the woods for her. There may not be any hope for Jesse but Terri was a living, breathing human being. It's shameful that people will look for a body but not rally to save someone who's still alive, alert and aware.

If lurkers, media and politicians can't make the nexus between a republican judge ordering her death and a republican sheriff hiring Mikey, joining the legislature to vote against Terri and hvg his republican replacement give Mikey time off to watch her die is still brainwashed or are guilty of pushing the b.s. This was a political hit job. Poor Terri. This is when the GOP started to have setbacks - on March 31, 2005.

1,800 people turn out for missing PG woman in Ohio. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay is so engrossed in sports and a mall culture with the exceptions that are bff now. I’m grateful for the out of towners and foreigners who did show up for Terri. We had good turnouts but not 1,800 people. If that many actually came, chances are they would have been arrested anyway.

To maintain focus on important factors, we may recall the role of pro-life in the months to come as a crucial factor.

Here is a thread by wagglebee on the issue.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The issue of abortion is seen as a top issue in the 2008 presidential election by 40 percent of Americans, indicating the contentious subject still plays a prominent role in how people case their ballot for president. Previous polls have shown that the pro-life position gives presidential candidates an edge.

The new figure comes from a survey the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press conducted.

It found that abortion is important for 38 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Republicans and with Republicans tending to be more pro-life than Democrats that translates into an advantage for pro-life candidates.

How "they" think, Left wings considered. (Actually, this is PBS the BS we get to pay for as taxpayers...)

"The failure of 'gay marriage' as a national issue in the 2006 elections sends a message that the politics of division no longer work," said Dison.

Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, a political action committee focused on ensuring women's reproductive rights, said she believes voters are no longer mobilizing behind the more hard-line approaches to cultural issues proposed by some Republicans in the past.

"[In 2006] We saw a backlash against divisive attacks on a woman's right to choose because President Bush and his allies in Congress and in the states had overstepped and overreached," Keenan noted. "[Beginning with the Terri Schiavo feeding tube case] Americans witnessed firsthand what it meant for politicians to interfere in our personal, private medical decisions. Voters are beginning to connect the dots. They see the same politicians involved in the Schiavo case blocking stem cell research and undermining women's reproductive freedom."

Members of the pro-choice group EMILY's List, which provides money and guidance for pro-choice female candidates and works to help elect Democrats, said after having won Congress, they are now turning to the White House.

Liberal Groups Banking on Social Issues Garnering Votes

Brain cells are a terrible thing to waste. Consider this waste...

In "No place for politics in stem cell science" (Commentary, June 11), columnist Dennis Byrne states, "The politicalization of science by the left to further its political goals ought to end."

hat's an arguable position, but his selective attention to the issue is almost laughable. Can he really believe that the abuse and misuse of science is something that only liberals engage in? I suppose that the diagnosis-by-videotape of Terri Schiavo was sound science. Or perhaps the denial of evolution. Or the argument that homosexuality is just an (immoral) lifestyle choice. Or the assertion that abstinence-only sex education really reduces sexual activity and is an effective HIV prevention.

The list goes on, but suffice it to say that when it comes to the politicization of science, conservatives certainly have their share of egregious and embarrassing, not to mention dangerous, abuses to cop to.

Jill Stanek in WND has the following column. Suggest reading the whole article...

The [Supreme Court] Justices raise the likelihood that with this [PBA ban] ruling, the fetus faces greater brutality. On page 30, the Justices note the objection "that the standard D&E is in some respects as brutal, if not more, than the intact D&E [PBA]." That is, standard late-term D&E abortion appears to be more cruel than PBA….. [N]ow these kids will suffer more horrifically with this ruling than before, as we congratulate ourselves.

However, the very pro-lifers making this argument oppose fetal pain legislation, so their argument is disingenuous. Stated one member of this group, Brian Rohrbaugh, president of Colorado Right to Life, in an interview: ......................................................
