Subject: Tom's prayer update - July 2011
(You can see the last letter I wrote, by clicking here: http://www.tomsgoodfiles.com/L20110525.htm)
Dear prayer friends,
SHORT VERSION of news/prayer needs:
Two months ago, I lost my low-pay job, and there's been very little temp work since then. But an amazing and unusual work possibility has arisen. Please pray that all the pieces will come together to allow it to happen. Regrettably, I can't say more than that in this short version, as if I tell you exactly what the work will be, it will ruin the story! (You wouldn't want to see the end of a movie first, would you?) I hope you'll read the full story below, but until you can, just pray for the right subset of about 100 people who will need to make some decisions for this to pan out. If this does, not only will I have work, but I'll be doing something that greatly helps people everywhere!
--TC
FULL VERSION:
Two months ago, I wrote that the 6-month low-pay network administrator job (fancy term for "resident computer geek") sadly ended due to lack of work and funds. I asked you, "Please pray that God would give me wisdom and sovereign direction to get computer-related income again. It's not simply that I dislike the sign [spinning] work [which I do dislike], but many feel steady work and in my field is the goal". Thank you for praying. Here's what's happening.
OLD AND NEW DIRECTIONS:
Sadly, there's still apparently little out there for which my limited computer re-training qualifies me. As temporary sustenance, the Gotcha work (as a human directional) re-started for me with a bit of a bang, but seems to be fizzling again somewhat like it did last October. And therefore finances are indeed a struggle. But I believe God has used circumstances in connection with these things to possibly open another door, albeit an unusual one.
This new door is not the C# software project I described last September (see letter here: http://www.tomsgoodfiles.com/L20100921.htm), written for a friend and future business partner for his office. We do still have very high expectations of it being a smashing success nationwide, but not any time soon. We have to let his office (and a couple more) use it for awhile before proceeding to a national market. I had nearly finished it when my time was squashed by getting that full-time job at Aqua Cops in Sanford. It was just like I said in March, "To squeeze a 40-hour-a-week far-away job into my already extremely full life, has been excrutiatingly difficult". So the software work was functionally suspended. But that turned out to be okay as my friend's business was going through some unexpected upheavals lasting all these months, so they didn't have time to miss my product. A bit of good news is that I've been able in June to wrap it up enough to be deliverable to them, which will happen next week.
No, the new "door" relates to what I said at the end of my last letter, "Good things are happening with the website, TomsGoodFiles.com, but that news must wait for another day". I don't remember exactly which things I was referring to, as many things have happened since then. Over a year ago on the advice of friends (some of you), I added a "donate" button (learning how, as I went). But virtually noone had donated. So over many days in May/June, I greatly overhauled it. I did a whole bunch of math, then added explanations of the current status of what needs to be done with the site AND the lack of resources to do it (funds to support me so I can do the work). I got advice from good sources (some of which I had earlier rejected) in the form of their critiquing/correcting what I added. However, in spite of the significant factual material added, almost no donations came in. (It's been about a month now.)
SLOW STREAM OF BLESSINGS:
When I said "good things are happening", I was probably referring to the fact that not only had I added that "Donate" button, but also an "Email" button. And people were gradually writing in. None of the letters has been negative and many were very positive. Keep in mind that originally the site was simply for hosting my growing list of prayer letters, so I could share them with old friends who never knew of my recent story of terror and healing. But with the advent of that web programming course in '09 (which I had not planned to take) where I was allowed to use the ("re") creation of TomsGoodFiles as my final class project, the personal story became secondary and the growing body of healing knowledge became the main feature. It's THESE things (generally) that people were writing in about. Please take a look at some of these notes, and ask yourself if you wouldn't be sometimes moved to tears of joy if you were in my shoes.
So I think you can now tell, even if you've never clicked on the links to the site that I've suggested to you all in the past, that this site IS changing lives greatly, and I'm greatly pleased that my tribulations could lead to something that's a part of a great thing that's radically helping people. So... where is the "door"? It happened in 3 parts:
- "Wow, great site and organized info..."
--Aaron L., MI - "Thank you SO MUCH for your website. It is awesome!!!"

My daughter is seeing Dr. Medici in Santa Monica for Lyme, chronic infections, food allergies, depression, etc, and is feeling better than she has her whole life, and believe me, we have tried EVERYTHING under the sun over the past 5 years. :)"
--Deirdre A., TX - "I just wanted to say Thanks for all your efforts in putting the site together. I'm currently undergoing QRA treatment and there is not a day that goes by that I don't talk to someone about it and also that I don't hear of someone unnecessarily suffering from a condition that they are not receiving any help for."
--Brian P., IA - "Thank you compiling this information and making it available to everybody. I recently started listening to Dr. Bob Marshall's radio show and wanted to learn more and started googling things and came across your wonderful website and wealth of this knowledge. I wanted to download the zip files if possible. ...Best Regards and again Thank you for creating this website."
--D.M., CA. - "Wow, when I first became aware of your web-site and began reviewing it I thought I was looking into a mirror. ... I am 71 years old, in excellent health (I still water ski) and have been 'studying' Dr. Marshall for more than ten years. This includes having copied [to audio cassettes] more than 4 months of his radio conversations and using them to write a 130 page journal having much of the same indexed information that you have put on the internet. What an excellent benefit you have provided for the public."
--Gary B., TN - "I have just found your site via searching on google for any info on biophotons and I must say it resonates with me very much. I am in Western Australia."
--Tony B., Aus.

Subject: Updates to TomsGoodFiles.com, letter #3: SPECIAL NEWS to 103 friends
(The prior 2 letters can be seen here: http://www.tomsgoodfiles.com/to-fans/L20110416.htm.)
Hello health-seeking friends!
This is a special letter to you because you’re a fan of Tom's Good Files. There haven't been many significant changes to the site since the last letter, but I have something important to discuss.
A PROBLEM:
You could probably guess that the Best of HealthLine audio library gets the most activity on the TomsGoodFiles site. But did you know that the audio library is only HALF as big as it could be?!? As large as it is, it could become more than DOUBLE its size! How? Because the clips already present at the site cover only (with rare exceptions) the HealthLine time period from January 2008 through February 2009. What about March 2009 to the present?? The good news is that they are safely tucked away and have had the best parts annotated and are ready to be processed into the Best of HealthLine library. The bad news is that there hasn't been any way to accomplish this. Until possibly now...
THE SOLUTION:
YOU can be a part of making TomsGoodFiles much much better! If you know me at all, you know how great my desire is to get the word out about QRA, and you also know how much time I have been putting towards barely making ends meet. I simply haven’t been able to take the time needed to expand the audio library to its potential or make all the other great improvements to the site that I have envisioned.
I am inviting you to become a partner with me in greatly transforming the health lives of countless thousands of people who will visit TomsGoodFiles in the years ahead. Please consider whether you could make a pledge to give support each month so that I can devote all the time necessary to catch up on the HealthLine backlog as well as carry out many wonderful enhancements to the site that I have envisioned. I’m looking for anyone that would like to partner with me financially and pledge $25, $50 or even $100 a month.
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
Please take a few days for you and your loved ones to reflect on what QRA has done for you, and how TomsGoodFiles.com was an aide in your knowledge quest. And if you feel you want to be part of the effort to SKYROCKET the value of the site to those you love (as well as the rest of mankind), then send me an e-mail letting me know you are interested and how much you would be willing to pledge monthly. If I get enough pledges in, I will get back with you about how to proceed.
If you become a committed, regular partner in this project, you can expect at least the following:
1. I believe that many of you are Christians, and perhaps some are not. Whether you're a Christian or not, I will commit to praying for each of you by name, as we in some way share prayer requests.
2. I will keep you informed of behind-the-scenes things, whether it's something I'm developing for the site, or where site-related things in my life are going. I think there will be information and resources that I can make available to you that won't be available to anyone else.
If you have questions about any of this and would like to talk about it, either write me or send me your phone number and I will call you.

A CONFIRMATION OF THE VISION:
Before I close, let me share with you a report I received in April from a lady in the northeast. Lives are being radically changed through TomsGoodFiles already!
Hi Tom, just wanted to say thank you for posting the invaluable info about QRA. Using your [practitioner] list I was able to find a practitioner in my area and am on my way to recovering excellent health. I was able to burn a CD of all the recordings of Dr. Marshall's show having to do with the gallbladder to convince my mother-in-law not to have hers removed. ...I burned all (14 I think) clips about GB to the CD. ...Had my husband listen to it as well before giving it to his mom. It was essential to me that he hear it and verify what I heard before I passed it along. My MIL says she will pass it along to some friends from church as well. Her first consult with our QRA [practitioner], _____ is this Wed. Praying that the info will be well-received by her and my father-in-law who will be paying for the recommended supplements. --Eileen L.
Amazing! An ailing gallbladder, which doctors wanted to cut out, has been saved, because of TomsGoodFiles! Eileen is speaking of the 14 gallbladder clips here: http://TomsGoodFiles.com/bestofhealthline.htm#gallbladderissues. Actually, I've always felt bad that that section had so many clips. But I see now that those 14 clips have saved a gallbladder already! I'm sure that there are many stories like this that have not been sent to me. But I'm also confident that we can accomplish MUCH more with your help. Thanks for considering partnering with me in this great work. (If you know someone else you think might be interested in this partnership opportunity, please feel free to forward this letter to them. Thanks!)
DR. MARSHALL'S PEOPLE:
To you wonderful folks who work directly in Dr. Marshall's organizations (HealthLine and Premier Research Labs), I don't think it would be wise for me to accept partnerships from anyone who is on Dr. Marshall's payroll. Why? You folks already know that officially there is NO relationship between TomsGoodFiles.com/Tom Cook and PRL etc. And as my site hosts some information that is probably too sensitive for PRL to be connected with, we know that we must continue to have "no relationship" for the safety and welfare of all concerned. But concerning those of you who are QRA practitioners and DON'T work for Dr. Marshall, I would certainly welcome your partnership. You'd simply be a FAN becoming my partner.
