DeLynn Powell: Wife, Mother, And Best Friend, Dies Of Cancer At 58; Husband Honors Her Memory By Continuing Mission

DeLynn Powell 8/10/57 - 8/05/15

It's been a month since my beloved wife DeLynn passed away, two days after our 25th wedding anniversary. She fought a courageous battle against colorectal and liver cancer for almost three years, taking every type of chemotherapy they could come up with, along with "home remedies" said to fight or even cure cancer.

Thousands of people from nearly every Christian denomination prayed for DeLynn's healing. Muslims prayed for her healing, as did viewers of other faiths; Atheists and Agnostics sent "good vibes" and "healing thoughts."

When she was brought home for the last time, from hospital to in-home hospice, we had an evangelistic Protestant minister come over to lay healing hands on her. He used Holy Water and oil blessed by the glove of Padre Pio that had been sent to us by a Catholic viewer several months ago as our entire family gathered around her bedside praying for her recovery.

I thought we had all of the bases covered, and that it was only a matter of time before I witnessed the miracle we had all been praying for. When DeLynn awoke from the coma she was in during the minister's visit and played a game of Yahtzee with us, I thought that miracle had been realized.

The Silver Anniversary Card Made By Our Friend Pam

We played a full card of Yahtzee - Me, DeLynn, and all of the kids - and each of us spent time talking with her. Alone. I was full of so much hope, she was so alive!

Then she said, "I'm tired. I think I'm going to lay down for a little bit." She lay down, she closed her eyes, and never woke up again.

At the time, I didn't know that she wouldn't wake up again. Since she was a diabetic, making sure her sugar remained around 300-400 (the level recommended by Hospice to keep her comfortable) was a challenge since she could not eat and IVs were not allowed under their rules.

For the last two days of her life I checked her sugar every hour, giving her insulin, or putting gelled sucrose on a swab and putting it in her mouth, whatever the readings on the glucose monitor indicated. Controlling her pain with oral Morphine and keeping her blood sugar between 300-400 became an obsession. It was the only thing I could control as the cancer continued to sap her strength.

Saying Goodbye: Our Last Moment Together

Finally, the entire family came to me and asked me to stop. They knew what I refused to accept: DeLynn was gone, and all that was left was an empty shell kept alive by sheer force of will; hers and mine combined. I was being selfish, prolonging her suffering, and it was time to let her go Home.

Exhausted, I agreed. I stopped monitoring her blood sugar so closely and six hours later her heart stopped beating and she was really, truly, gone.

For the last month I have struggled to come to terms with this new reality: My wife is with Jesus and no amount of begging, pleading, or cursing, is going to change that. The light of my life has been extinguished. The woman that has been the rock-solid center of this family as wife, mother, and best friend, is gone. Just gone.

I just noticed that I've used the same word several times in rapid succession, a no-no for any decent writer; but "gone" is what she is to me. It's how I feel. The word conveys, to me, a sense of purposelessness, that her death had no meaning other than to hurt and take away from those who loved her.

Bobby & DeLynn's Last Outing 2015

Had she been healed, I would have been on the air 24/7 praising God and proclaiming proof of His existence through my wife's miraculous healing. Now what do I have to proclaim? Thousands of people praying for her, laying on of hands through the Holy Spirit; and a beautiful, gentle, 58-year-young child of God still dies.

Where's the miracle in that? If I ever find it, I will let you know. Maybe all we rated was one last game of Yahtzee.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers, and the condolence cards sent to the P.O. Box. One viewer in particular - Rose - is in our hearts for the beautiful Heart-shaped memorial and book on grief by C.S. Lewis. Knowing that your support continues as I rearrange my life is invaluable.

Valuable as well, perhaps even more so, are the contributions made to The Truth Is Viral by Dr. David Rice, Pete Santilli, Tim Brown, Susan Duclos, and the rest of the TTiV admin staff. They are the ones that are keeping you informed and spiritually aware while I'm catching my breath, planning the next phase of my assault on the Antichrist.

Oh yeah, that's right. I'm neither Gen Douglas MacArthur, nor am I the Terminator, but you can bet your sweet bippy that "I'll be back." I'll be the first to admit that losing my mother and my wife within a month of each other - both to colorectal and liver cancer - right after losing my 24-year-old daughter to a heart attack, has been a blow. If I took a stress test I'd probably score in the "Why hasn't your head exploded yet?" category.

DeLynn Enjoys A Coney Dog 2015

I don't know what God has in store for my life, but I have come to the realization that my happiness doesn't mean that much to Him, not in the "short-term" anyway. He is interested in my long-term Salvation, and yours too.

I don't know how God will use me to spread His word in these very last days, but doing His will, glorifying His holy name, is all I have left. As I did after the inexplicably tragic death of my daughter, I am going to turn the direction of The Truth Is Viral over to the real "Editor-in-Chief," Jesus Christ, the Son of the One True Living and Almighty God, and let Him take me wherever He will.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, and supported by your prayers, I will "Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome." With the help of Almighty God, together we will "Save lives and win souls for Jesus Christ."

 
I want to make my girls, and my Savior, proud. On my Sacred Honor, I will.

God bless and Semper Fi,

TTiV Host Bobby Powell's Mom Has Died & He Needs Your Help! URGENT Call to Action

I just got the call: After a courageous two year battle with colorectal and liver cancer, my mother is with Jesus.

The funeral is on Thursday so I have a lot to do; but there is a problem. With everything that has been going on here at home I have not been producing many shows (only 6 since last August) and our income has dropped below what it was when I sat on the couch collecting disability. $300 a month below. Hillary Clinton has no idea what "broke" really is until she's had to manage my meager budget.

Normally I use whatever funds are donated to The Truth Is Viral to pay the expenses I incur during the show's production, but this call for donations is very personal. I need to get to Illinois to bury my mother and I do not have enough money to do that.

If you have the ability, please go to www.bobpowell.blogspot.com and click the Paypal button on the right to help me get to my mother's funeral. If not, I would appreciate it greatly if you would repost this on your timeline so others will see it.

Most of all I could use your prayers for the strength I am going to need to make it through this. I know she is in the loving arms of Christ and I should be happy for her; but I am simply heartbroken.

Thank you all for everything you do to support me and The Truth Is Viral as we go about our mission to "Save lives and win souls for Jesus Christ." The love you have shown to me and my family has not gone unnoticed, and we are extremely grateful.

Know the meaning of Faith? Heading out on a 1,000 mile journey with less than 1/3rd of what I need to get there, stay there for the reading of the will, and get back..To everyone who has contributed to the travel fund for my mother's funeral, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The rest will come. God hasn't let me down yet, and I don't expect that He will now. He will provide.

God bless & Semper Fi,
Bobby Powell

Giving Thanks Through Turbulent Times: Happy Thanksgiving From TTiV

My daughter is dead. My mother and wife both have terminal Stage-IV Colo-rectal and Liver cancer. It feels as though I am losing everyone I love, one at a time. In the past two years seven of my closest friends and family members have died from cancer or heart attacks. Ironically, and disconcertingly, seven is also the exact number of viewers who have written to tell me that after watching one of my shows, they were led to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sweet Jesus, what price must I pay to keep the promise that I made to my daughter,  to bring your children to Salvation as I swore that I would? Will you take one of my loved ones for each soul I bring to your altar? Will you take my entire family to make up for the cowardice I showed when I didn't tell my little girl about You because I was afraid to push her away after having just gotten her into my life after a lifetime of searching for her?

All of this crap going on in our lives Father, the illness, the pain, it's almost too much...

What have I got to be thankful for?

A LOT, as it turns out.

I got an email the other day that asked me to take a few minutes before I went to sleep and thank God for the blessings He has bestowed upon me and my family. The email said that I shouldn't pray asking for anything; just count my blessings and give thanks for them. It took me about half an hour to recount them all.

As part of dealing with the nearly overwhelming trials our family is experiencing, I have started to attend caregiver and grief counseling at a local cancer support group. The theme for this past meeting was, suitably, to recount those things for which we are thankful. I thought I would share them with you.

May you all be blessed with traveling safety, valuable times with friends and loved ones, and may you remember the Source from Whom all blessings flow.

Happy Thanksgiving.
God bless & Semper Fi,
Bobby and DeLynn Powell
and the entire TTiV staff.

TTiV Prayer Warrior Call To Action: "Father, Please Save My Wife"

Celebrating Our Anniversary At A Petoskey B&B 2013, Courtesy Jim Babbitt's Family

I would like to thank all of The Truth Is Viral's subscribers for their loyalty over the past few years. I apologize that I have not been around much lately, but being with and caring for my wife DeLynn takes precedence over everything right now.

All attempts to treat her Stage IV Colorectal and Liver Cancer, including state-of-the-art chemotherapies and a few alternative treatments such as baking soda and molasses, have failed. Her most recent PET scan showed an increase in the number of tumors in both her liver and colon, as well as increased tumor size and metabolic activity.

DeLynn Holds Our Grandson Conner For The 1st Time 1/14

She is in an incredible amount of pain, and she is very weak; but she also has an incredible spirit - the Spirit of a Warrior - and she will NEVER give up.

Her oncologist is continuing three less toxic chemotherapy drugs every other week in hopes of extending her life, but barring a miracle my beloved wife of 28 years will be going Home to Father soon.

We would both appreciate your prayers. Specifically, please ask that Father will completely cure her cancer, diabetes, and the excruciatingly painful diabetic neuropathy that had disabled her long before she was stricken with cancer.

DeLynn @ The Garden Of The Gods in 1987

My poor baby girl has suffered so much over the past 17 years since the neuropathy started in her feet, eventually encompassing every square inch of her body except from the neck up. She describes the pain as being "boiled in oil." This kind, loving, faithful woman has suffered enough, more than enough. She deserves to be healed.

(Look at the photo on the right. Isn't she beautiful?)

If a healing miracle is not God's will, surely He won't begrudge us the strength we, particularly I, will need to cope with her passing. Pray for that strength too, in Jesus' Holy Name, and I know that the Comforter will be with us in these dark days.

As far as producing The Truth Is Viral goes, I will continue to do what I can when I can. We are at war with the Devil himself, and we will ALL take casualties before this battle is over. When my beloved wife DeLynn goes Home to be, and wait for me, with Father, there will be two casualties: Her AND I. Her problems will be over. Mine will have just begun.

Again, all I ask is that you keep us both lifted up to Father in your prayers. Maybe you could put our names on the prayer list at your church to ask your fellow worshipers to mention us. The more people that pray for my wife, the better. I KNOW Father can work miracles, I've SEEN it, and so have TTiV viewers, in this video:  



Our God, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the Almighty and Great Physician, CAN heal my wife. If you just watched that video you saw for yourself how the swelling in her arm decreased as she read online prayers left for her. The only question is; "Will He?"

If God miraculously heals my wife, I promise at this moment that I will tirelessly share that healing miracle with the rest of the world as proof that our God Jehovah is indeed the "King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords." If saving her is not His will, I will praise Him for the 28 wonderful years that we have had together, the five beautiful children we made, and the privilege of having known true love; but truth be told, I'd much prefer another 28 years together on this Earth, so let's pray for that shall we?

Thank you, God bless and Semper Fi,
Bobby

EMERGENCY VIDEO!! TTiV Publisher Bobby Powell's Wife Is IN Hospital, In A Diabetic Coma

DeLynn Holds Our Grandson Conner For The 1st Time 1/14

Folks, my wife has been getting worse and worse over the past few months. I had to call an ambulance this afternoon due to her increasing refusal to make sense. And then she stopped talking all together.

I'll be broadcasting a live show later tonight during which I hope that you will join me in praying for her complete recovery. I've never been much for "laying on of hands" but at this point we have nothing left to lose.

At the very least, please make sure that you share this video in EVERY way you know how. TTiV has 25,000 Subscribers and that is an ARMY by any definition. I need my foot soldiers out there sending this show to all of the forums you can think of, shoot it out in emails to ALL of your friends, Post it on Facebook; not just on your timeline, but in each group to which you belong.

PLEASE everyone, if you EVER cared a lick about me I need you to do this for me! I'm not ready to lose the love of my life; not tonight, and not ever.

I'm a wicked sinner, but I am more than ready to be prepared to expect a miracle. In order to get a miracle, you must first ask for it. Here goes, "Father you know I am a wicked sinner, and while I don't have it within myself to do anything, Jesus Christ saved the world. He kinda had a home field advantage though didn't He Father?

Christ also tells us that nothing is beyond his reach, that is we need something all we need do is call on your holy name and it will be granted to us.

Father, Jesus, I want my wife to live. I not only want her to live, I want her to be healthy again. I want the cancer gone, the diabetes kaput, and the diabetic neuropathy to simply melt away.

Lord, you have brought men back from the dead, even after he'd been stinking up his own grave for three days, so I KNOW you can go it again; if you just had the will.

Father grant me this and I swear that I will work much harder to save lives and win souls for you.

In Jesus Holy Name we pray.
Bobby



PS: Check out the little video above, the reason that she got so ill so quick in the first place. If there had been enough money for hospice, DeLynn wouldn't be in the hospital. If she wasn't white, she wouldn't be in the hospital/ Thank you Barack Hussein Obama.

Cancer Victim's Obamacare Nightmare: Death Panels And Racism A Reality

My wife DeLynn is going to die.

Barring a miracle, something which is being constantly prayed for and is entirely possible considering the boundless healing power of Almighty God, I have had to come to terms with that reality. While I might not be able to do anything to prevent the cancer that has ravaged her body from taking her life, I should at least be able to make her passing more comfortable; but we are being blocked at every turn by coverage limitations under Obamacare and, even more shockingly, social workers who delight – and profit – from denying benefits to eligible clients.

DeLynn and our grandson Conner

My wife and I are not the only victims of a social services system run by sadistic ideologues. According to a vendor for the Michigan Department of Human Services, the department is filled with cruel, uncaring, and despicable “social workers.” In an exclusive interview with The Truth Is Viral, this whistleblower says that she has personally held conversations with social workers who called their clients, “leeches, losers, and lowlifes.” She relayed the story of one woman in particular who was raising five children alone after her husband left upon learning that she had cancer. The woman’s worker told the whistleblower, “She should have thought about getting sick before she had all of those kids.”

The whistleblower described the sickening practice of rewarding workers who denied benefits to eligible clients – many times based solely on the fact that the client was white – and how those workers were rewarded. Every time an eligible client was denied a benefit for which they would normally be entitled, the worker gets a “brownie point.” According to the whistleblower, these brownie points can be turned in for pay raises and promotions.

One would think that people choose social work in order to help people who are in need. It is possible, and apparently altogether too common, for social workers to become so jaded that they begin to treat their clients with the disdain normally reserved for junkies or skid row bums stinking of Sterno; and even then, aren't they human beings deserving of compassion too? When that disdain takes the form of criminal actions that not only adversely affect the lives of society’s most vulnerable, but define anew terms like “corruption,” “avarice,” and “sociopath,” it is incumbent upon society to put an end to those actions and punish those responsible.

The Old Ball & Chain dragging me to garage sales.

I believe that my family is being punished by our social worker and her superiors. We can never get a phone call returned by our worker and her supervisor refuses to meet with us or even consider our request for a new worker despite repeated complaints. Whenever I go to talk to him he’s “In a meeting” or otherwise unavailable. My wife’s Medicaid has been turned off twice since she was diagnosed with cancer. Dealing with the disease is difficult enough without having to fight to keep her insurance for no good reason whatsoever. We are literally afraid to ask them for anything for fear of having new sanctions imposed instead of the help we require.

But the situation here at Casa Powell has reached the point where my wife needs skilled, in-home care; she needs hospice. She’s pretty much confined to bed, as her bed sores will attest, depending on me to steady her and provide what measures I can to make her comfortable. I’m “on-call,” literally 24 hours a day, unable to even leave the house to shop for groceries unless there is another adult available to stay with her.

Chemo-weakened bones break from simply walking

So last week we called NEMSCA, the Northeast Michigan Community Service Agency which works with Social Services to arrange such things, only to receive a letter informing us that my wife could not be evaluated because their in-home nursing program was “at capacity.” In other words, they don’t have any money. So much for Obamacare “protecting the most vulnerable in our society.”

Does anyone else find it disturbing that the government can find money to supply weapons to terrorist groups in Syria (ISIS thanks you Mssr. Obama & McCain,) and send illegal aliens to school instead of sending them back to the country from which they came, that Bradley Manning can transmogrify himself into a “woman” (boy, will that ever make him popular in Leavenworth,) and aged transsexuals can use Medicare to pay for their gender reassignment surgeries when they turn 65; but a dying woman can’t get skilled end-of-life care? Possibly because she is white?

The very thought makes me want to vomit.

If you would like to do something to change this, share this video on every social media site to which you belong. Post it on Twitter, sending it specifically to the FOX News personalities listed below. If anyone expects MSNBC to touch this story they’re nuts. Post it on Facebook, remembering to post it in all of the groups to which you belong in addition to your timeline. Click the share button under the video on Youtube and it opens up to reveal ten different sites where you can share the video with a couple of mouse clicks. Then send it to all of your email contacts and ask them to do the same. Send up smoke signals if you have to.

Maybe someone who can help us will see this and give a damn.

Our 25th anniversary gift; a night in a B&B

DeLynn and I want to thank everyone who has been praying for us as we have waged this battle against this most insidious disease. Your kind comments, lengthy written prayers, and moral support have strengthened us more than can be described. We’d ask however, that you not give up yet. We haven’t. Continual prayer may yet have the desired effect and save her life.

I can’t imagine a greater miracle than a cure for her cancer and diabetic neuropathy, and if one is forthcoming I swear now before the entire world that I will be ceaseless in my efforts to proclaim the healing power of Christ to all who would listen. If granting that miracle is not Father’s will, then we will need your prayers to strengthen us for our walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

In any case, please pray. At this point, for anything that matters, Jesus Christ is our only hope.

UPDATE: 12/2/14
After DeLynn's diabetic coma and heart attack last month she was finally assigned a nurse to help me care for her three hours a day, three days a week, for a total of nine hours. We are extremely grateful to everyone who made this possible, and most especially for the particular caregiver we were assigned.

DeLynn's nurse is an absolute gift from God. She's a dedicated, caring health professional who stands up for her clients rights, making sure that they get all of the services to which they are entitled; and she works her tail off around here too. What she gets done in nine hours would literally take me, and my aching back, days.

Most importantly, DeLynn loves her. So does Tink. And Tink doesn't like anybody but her mommy.

Even though this particular issue has been resolved for us, for the moment, please understand that there are many others who are still being victimized by Obamacare, who are refused treatment by de facto "death panels," and are - according to my guest in this episode - victims of racism; mostly single mothers, refused services simply because of the color of their white skin.

UPDATE 2: 2/4/15

DeLynn's Medicaid has been turned off again. It's actually been off for over a month now and, despite having turned in all of the requested paperwork - again - as of this writing a decision still has not been made. This also affects our son Adam who can not see a neurologist for recurring headaches after a head injury because his Medicaid was also terminated. Me? Pffft. Who cares?

Cancer Victim's Obamacare Nightmare; Denied Coverage By Obama Death Panel

Barack Obama has said that the thing he's best at is killing people. For once, he's telling the truth. I know this because he has killed me and my wife with the health care legislation that bears his name, no matter how hard the Left is now insisting on calling it the Affordable Care Act instead of Obamacare. Whatever they call it, it's still a lie; and the provisions therein have ensured that my wife will die a painful, and needless death. And I won't be far behind. 

That's not hyperbole folks. After trying, and failing, to log in to Obamacare's joke of a website on October 1st, I went to our family doctor who had one of his employees working as an Obamacare "navigator" and reapplied for the Medicaid that was taken away from me last year when I first reported $200 in income from the show.

Bobby & DeLynn Powell

Not only was my application for Medicaid denied, my wife's was too even though she was recertified for her Medicaid just two months ago. There is no doubt that her Medicaid was cancelled because I applied for Obamacare! In case you are unfamiliar, she is in the midst of a heroic battle against Stage IV Colo-rectal and Liver cancer. To top it all off, I got a letter last week telling me that my son Adam would no longer be getting free school lunches. GEEZ!

You have to remember that even though I look fairly strong on camera I really AM disabled. I'm in tremendous pain, all of the time. I spend most of the day on the couch in my own homemade traction contraption hooked up to a TENS unit so that I can get on my feet for a few hours a day to film the show without limping and grunting and groaning like a caveman.

Ask Sir Patrick, my beloved friend and TTiV Admin who just happens to live a couple of blocks away. He heard me grunt ALL DAY (UUHHH, AHHHH, DAMN!!!) when I helped him move a couple of weeks ago. LOL! He's not in much better shape with a messed up knee and other painful afflictions. Between the two of us we make a funny pair of broken-down old farts.

Back to business, I have ongoing medical issues that are fatal if left untreated; and I'm not talking about fatal 20 years from now either. I could literally die at any time.

Oh screw it. I wasn't going to say anything but I'm not going to be able to hide it much longer anyway. Here goes.

My liver is on the brink of failure due to Hepatitis C that I contracted from a tattoo I got to celebrate my graduation from Advanced Infantry Training at Camp Geiger in 1979. (Thanks a lot Zeke, you ass!) I'm getting sicker all of the time, which is why there was no new show last week. It is taking every bit of strength that I have to take care of DeLynn and the house.

Anyway, I've done the standard treatment for Hep C twice since I first found out that I had it in 1994. It was discovered during blood tests taken when I was hospitalized after the chemical leak that robbed me of my ability to read, write, and speak without stuttering to the point of babbling. Let me tell you it is NOT pleasant.

Interferon and Ribavirin were the standard treatment for Hep C when I underwent the first regimen of chemo that, for me, lasted 51 weeks. I completed that year of Hell and was told that I was "virus-free." Until 1998, when I was told it had returned. So I went through the chemo again, updated to include a drug called "Pegasus," until I was informed that I was "virus-free" once more.

The last time I had a blood test done, in September of 2012, my Hepatitis C viral load was higher than it had ever been. I need to take the chemotherapy again, but...

The difference between taking the treatment now and taking it then are two-fold. In 1998, DeLynn was healthy. She was, in fact, pregnant with Adam so she was radiantly beautiful! My point is, she was able to take care of me, something that she did without ever having a single thought for herself.

The treatment for Hep C is extremely debilitating. For an entire year she fed me, helped me in and out of bed to go to the bathroom, even bathing me when I was too weak to do it myself. That is exactly what I do for her now. If I were to start chemotherapy too, who would take care of her? I wouldn't be able to do it. We'd have to have someone come in to take care of both of us.

Even if I were so inclined, I couldn't afford the treatment. I still have Medicare (for the moment,) but that only pays 80% of hospital expenses, and not a dime on prescriptions. They took away my Medicaid and a third of our disability income - including every penny of food stamps and the $200 monthly Medicare premium that Medicaid had been paying for - once I reported PRE-expenses income of $200.

And then there's the MS. During a brain scan that I received in 2008, "2-3mm foci" were found scattered throughout my brain, "indicative of Multiple Sclerosis or another demyelinating disease." Thank God I have been pretty much asymptomatic; so far.

Basically, I'm screwed.

So forget me, let's focus on my wife. This isn't right, the way we're being treated by the government; at ANY level. It was just as IRS employees were being outed for targeting Tea Partiers that I finally got fed up with not getting ANY phone calls returned from Social Services (not one call returned in 6 months) and went down there demanding to speak to her supervisor, threatening to expose their garbage on this program.

So despite the extremely hopeful news that DeLynn's most recent PET scan revealed, that most of the tumors in her liver are no longer showing any metabolic activity (they have calcified, turned to stone!) my wife is probably going to die anyway without Medicaid to pay for ongoing treatments to kill the rest of the cancer. Our "worker" targeted us because of the content of my show, I'm sure of it. I'm sure because our problems didn't begin until I told her that I was trying to go back to work and gave her the website address. I was made doubly sure when her supervisor turned DeLynn's Medicaid back on while I was waiting in the lobby without even talking to me!

When Obamacare rolled out I was hoping that something might have changed, that the new rules would allow me to get my Medicaid back and get what medical care I could. My doctor gave me a prescription for pain killers for my left arm, which at the moment is pretty much useless. I couldn't get the prescription filled for almost two weeks because even the generic brand cost $30 I didn't have. It wasn't until one of you beautiful people sent in a donation that I was able to buy the medicine and get some relief.

One of my doctor's employees had been assigned as an Obamacare "navigator," and she told me that my application would be sent right to Grand Rapids, that it would bypass our local office and all of the attending problems altogether, and that I should never have lost my Medicaid in the first place.

We spent an hour and a half going over my income and expenses from the show, my medical history, prognoses, and current medical needs. Then she hit the enter button and shot it off to Grand Rapids just like she said she would.

Then the next week we got a letter from the local office requesting information on every damn thing under the Sun; information that we have provided them half a dozen times this year, information that was included in what we gave the Obamavator.

I'm done... I can't do any more.

Maybe if Megyn Kelly, Sean Hannity, Greta van Sustren, or Greg Gutfeld picks this story up on one of their shows we'll finally get some justice. It's not right for my wife to be needlessly upset all of the time, scared to death that they are going to leave her - and me - to die needlessly and in pain. 

Please Tweet the following Tweets and let's see if we can get the attention of someone who can help us. I need you guys to help us here; then I'd appreciate it greatly if you would ask Father to be with us. We're really being tested, but my Faith in God is unshakeable and I know that whatever happens He will be here with us; our Rock, our Mighty Fortress, and our High Tower.

Kinda like you guys, my TTiV family.

God bless and Semper Fi,
Bobby

Video Evidence Of Miraculous Healing; Reading Online Prayers Blesses Cancer Victim

This episode of The Truth Is Viral is brought to you from the hospital where Publisher Bobby Powell's wife DeLynn is being treated for a massive blood clot related to her treatment for Stage IV Colo-rectal and Liver cancer that caused her left arm to swell tremendously.

Exactly one month ago, Bobby told his viewers that his wife had asked him not to go to the protest in Washington D.C. scheduled for 9/9/13 because she had a "bad feeling." After prayerful consideration Bobby decided to do what his wife wanted, which happened to coincide with what God impressed on his heart, and stay home with her. It's a good thing he did, because DeLynn was admitted to the hospital on Sunday the 8th, when Bobby would have been in Washington D.C.

As DeLynn was reading some of the thousands of prayers that viewers of The Truth Is Viral have left for her on Facebook and other venues, prayers asking Father to heal her, a miracle occurred that astonished them both.

Medical Marijuana: Cure For Cancer Denied To The Poor; Prescribing Drs. Threatened By DEA

Marijuana has been proven time and again to shrink cancerous tumors dramatically, and one study - in addition to mountains of anecdotal evidence and the testimony of cancer survivors - shows that it can even cure brain cancer.

So why is Marijuana still a Schedule I drug? That designation prevents researchers in the United States from even investigating the properties of marijuana to determine how the medicine can be refined and standardized for use in patients of all kinds. In addition to its cancer-curing properties, medical marijuana has been shown to be an effective pain reliever, a treatment for glaucoma, depression, HIV, vomiting, Hepatitis C, Chron's Disease, Tourette's Syndrome, epilepsy, arthritis, and a host of other illnesses.

Medical marijuana has been recognized as a legitimate medical treatment by twenty of the fifty states, and with a prescription or recommendation from a doctor patients can avail themselves of a treatment that has the distinction of being the only drug that has never killed a single person. There's a problem though...

Despite his promises to leave the issue of medical marijuana to the states as is proper, Barack Obama has ordered the DEA to crack down on MMJ dispensaries and those compassionate doctors that want nothing more than to ease the suffering of their patients.

For example, although medical marijuana is legal in the State of Michigan, any doctor who actually prescribes or recommends it to a patient faces the seizure of his license to prescribe Federally controlled medications. States regulate the license to practice medicine that doctors need to hang their shingle; but the ability to write a prescription for medicine comes from the Federal government.

If a doctor in Michigan has the temerity to go against the Federal government to prescribe marijuana to a patient - even the terminally ill - the DEA will yank that doctor's license so fast it makes their heads spin. There is, in fact, only one doctor in Northern Michigan who will write a prescription for medical marijuana, and that is the only medication he can legally prescribe. Got a toenail fungus? You'll have to see a different doctor for an anti-fugal cream.

Even though medical marijuana is legal in Michigan, Medicaid, the state insurance program for the poor, will not pay for it. A tube of the popular cancer cure "Rick Simpson's Oil" can cost more than $2,000, putting it out of reach for poor cancer victims.

This episode of The Truth Is Viral is part of a three episode series that was shot at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life that was held at the Alpena County Fairground on August 17th 2013. At first I had intended on simply covering the event and doing a couple of stand-ups; but once I got there I knew that I had to participate on behalf of my wife and mother who are both suffering from Colo-rectal and Liver cancer, and my father who died in 1976 from lung cancer.

I ended up walking 8 miles, raising (so far) almost $50. That's not too bad when you consider that I entered at the last moment; and 10 years ago I was in a wheelchair unable to walk at all. I'm not done raising money yet either. Every penny of ad revenue generated by this series of videos will be donated to the Alpena Regional Medical Center's Cancer Center in appreciation for the great care they have given my wife.

The two other episodes will be uploaded as soon as I can get them finished. I just wanted to get this one up to let everyone know the status of my wife's illness: barring a miracle, I am going to lose the woman with whom I have spent more than half of my life; my heart, my soul mate, the one great love of my life.

Those who have been with me for a while know that my wife DeLynn has been fighting a courageous battle against Stage IV Colo-rectal and Liver cancer. It tears at my soul to have to admit it, but I need to tell you that her fight is just about over.

As I'm uploading this episode, I'm also trying to convince her to go to the hospital. She is so sick and weak that it is scaring the daylights out of me; but she's afraid if she goes into the hospital she'll never come out. She wants to die at home.

Well I'M NOT READY for her to die at all! During our 25 years together I can count on one hand the number of times we've been apart for more than 12 hours. I would take this cancer on myself if I could, trade my life for hers, ANYTHING to stop this!

Please ask Father to be with us, comforting us, covering us with blessings and protection, and giving us the strength we (I especially) will need to deal with her passing if that is His will. Better yet, ask Him to HEAL her. I absolutely believe in miracles and if we ever needed one the time is now!

Maybe we'll get lucky.

God bless and Semper Fi,
Bobby
