    *****please research the affects of high tension power grids within 440 feet of your house as a source of leukemia in children********not saying they don't get it for other reasons......our world is so toxic. His sis looks just like him...........

  • Bob beck improved the technology to cure cancer and hiv and etc. the orginal pattent number is 5,188,738, this was done in 1993 the orginal before bob beck improved it

  • I am SO SO sorry for your loss.

    I can ONLY imagine what kind of pain and suffering your family faced!

    god bless you and you family for giving what obviously looked like lots of love and support through out his short life time. cancer has affected so many people(S) lives and hopefully some day reaserchers(I forget how to spell that at the moment) will find a cure!!

    god bless and take care,

    karly!<3

  • Rest in peace little man. Also, I think it is absolutely despicable that WMG has removed this song for "copyright infriingement".....another reason I will never practice intellectual property law...

  • i know your battle, all too well. God Bless you all!!

  • Awww. Is he yours? He is a beautiful little boy; I don't see why this handsome, cute little man deserved this. He was gorgeous. I'll pray for him.

    Even though I am just 14, I am so passionate about starting a charity for children with cancer. It is not fair. Not fair at all.

    Sorry.

  • im soo sorry for your loss! I cried so hard.. i have a 4 yr old son and twins on the way.. i couldnt even begin to imagine :( God bless his soul and your family :(

  • Is so so so so sad and unfair to see children battling cancers and defeating.

    Being a medic and blood cancer patient at time i can say the deepest recpect to a medic staff who work in pediatric oncology and hematology.

    God bless those little souls.I still believe Lord knows why they take these innocent souls so soon and after such a lots of pain.

  • aww so sad what a brave boy, rip xxxx

  • Your family looks so strong. I am amazed that you were able to take pictures with him afterward. He really looks like he's posing for the camera best he can. You guys will get to cherish those pictures for the rest of your lives. You are so lucky to have those. Not only does your son look like he is at peace, but you guys also look like you are at peace, I mean considering. God bless you and your family forever and ever, and may he keep your son safe in His arms until you can rejoin him.

  • pLEASE COTACT ME,,CHERUNZMAIL.@YAHOO.COMITS ALL FOR HIM.ALWAYS HAS BEEN,PLEASE HELP MY GRIEF FOR A STRANGER HEAL A FAMILY I LOVE YOU DOUG.

  • What a fantastic little character Doug is. I can just imagine him full of energy playing Ninjas in Heaven. He has a fantastic smile just makes you light up. You must be so proud of him he really put up a good fight but some battles no matter how good a ninja you are just cant be won. He must be an inspiration to you. My prayers are with Doug and your family.

  • Read Andreas Moritz' books to find out why mainstream treatments only aggravate cancer, why the current medical approach to healing diseases is fatally wrong, and to discover truly effective healing avenues. Free yourself from conventional medicine's most dangerous myths and the pseudoscience upholding them, which only benefits profit-driven Big Pharma.

  • i always go back just to see your beautiful boy's face..you were so lucky to have him..you can tell by his sparkling eyes what an angel he was..i hope your all doing well..with all my heart....michele

  • your music has been disabled on your video, the good news is WHO NEEDS MUSIC WHEN YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE MAN LIKE DOUG..just looking at his amazing little face is music in itself. I am so sorry he had to leave you all, I cant even imagine how horrible and gut wrenching that could have been, I know you have wonderful memories of him and I truely thank you for sharing this most precious journey with everyone. He is still with you and I hope you understand that, because he really is....

  • To the person who commented about Doug getting his hair back in heaven....

    I had planned on hitting the reply button but somehow managed to hit the danged remove instead! I hate that button!

    Anyway, knowing that he has his beautiful hair back now helps me a bit more! Thank you for that awesome picture in my mind!

    Doug's mom

  • Poor Little Boy.

    He Really Suffered.

    It Fucking Pisses Me Off How Kids & People That Havent Done Anything Wrong Get These Illnesses. Im Sorry Too Swear, No Disrespect. But He Was Brave & Gorgeous & Rest In Peace Little Wun xxxxxxxxxx

  • i'm so sorry for your loss. thank you for this video it has encouraged me to start a childrens cancer awareness club in school. may i ask why his face was so red in the end? sorry

  • When he was in the hospital before we brought him home to pass, he had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic. This caused him to get blisters on his face and caused his face to get very red. The blisters did eventually pop and I slathered him with lotion everyday in an effort to keep his skin moist.

    I am pleased that his plight encouraged you to start a children's cancer awareness club at school! I wish you great luck with at least getting people to realize it happens to our children. God bless

  • Hi from Kaley again, as I already posted a comment, I am just meaning to ask what I forgot to ask in my last comment. Was Doug on pain medicine, in his final days, was he able to sleep over into the Lords arms without pain and suffering? As I am a Oncology Ped Nurse in Germany, we tend to give a lot of pain meds toward the end, so the kids do not pain or fear of what is to come. I would be glad if you would share your experience with me, as I fight for more children to be send home in the end.

  • Hi Kaley. Yes, Doug was on pain meds. I think his morphine was at about 20/hour with the option of three boluses per hour of an additional 30. I don't remember the numbers for sure. I do know that he was awake enough to interact with us the night before his passing and he did know what we were saying when he went because I told him he won and should go get his trophy and less than a minute later he was gone. He didn't suffer. I had a physic reading a year or so ago and he said he didn't suffer.

  • I'm truly sorry for your loss, he was a gorgeous little guy!!! and a very brave one...I might add!!!

    Rest in peace!

  • is a tragedy , dont lost the faith , one day everybody will be toghether in other place.

  • Doug was a beutiful little boy and i thunk that cancer is terribly its not fair to takes lives of kids and we need to cure it lets all help and make a differance

  • OMG im so happy with her family is being there till his last breath for the family dont worry he is waiting and for sure watching you now in heaven....

  • Be strong josh Italy and everywhere you look you'll see that everything is peaceful passing ... we love you

  • That was one of the saddest thing's i've ever seen. To the family i'm sorry for your loss. I hope they find a cure for cancer very soon. He's an angel in heaven now and wont have to suffer anymore. R.I.P little one

  • I know how you feel my dad had cancer and I am only 10 years old i am soooooooooooooooooooo sorry

  • heartbreaking ... it brought me to tears

  • He is the most brave child I have ever seen. I am a pediatric oncology nurse in Germany and I see kids like this every day, unfortunately a lot of parents over here, are not so outgoing, to want to do a video like this sharing with other parents, or just as a memory of a loved child, parents here tend to grieve so deeply inside, that it is very hard to comfort them every step of the way, during the battle of their children, but I will go on comforting them, All my love from Germany, Elke

  • OMG! This is sooo sad i am here crying for you guys.

  • I'm sorry for the prejudice I have had in the past regarding Parents with very sick children, Now I understand, how hard for the parents who once were children themselves, who once we all were, All the loving parents out there, especially this family, Doug's Mum and Dad, you guys are the greatest, and most special people on earth... Love

  • My darling, I'm sure you are happy in Heaven, and while you were on earth, you were so loved by the most loving parents, no regrets, My sweetest, I used to be very insensitive that when looking at sick children, especially children with cancer, I have a preconceived notion of blame towards the parents, paranoid about their lifestyle and health when having a baby, but this changed my views totally, The parents are such sweet and kind human beings, Brings tears to my eyes!

  • just don't understand people like mehdisemn..does kids?????????? he sounds like an idiot..too bad mehdisemm didn't take doug ruley's place..why would anyone post this..doug was a beautiful child inside and out you can tell..this mehdisemm sounds like an idiot..sorry

  • He was most definitely a beautiful little boy.

    And his soul showed through his eyes, and it made me cry too. Thank you for sharing his story, it must have been such a sad thing to do, when you've lost a loved one, especially the last few pics, (I think, taken afterwards). Much love to you and your family.

  • the pic. at: 9:43 - 9:44

    That says alot to me.

    i think its so sad.

    FUCK CANCER

  • D-d DID HE DIE? Becuase i saw the grave...oh i'm so sorry! i didnt think he would die im so sorry for the lost.....Im just very sorry for asking i just didnt think he died...

  • i'm not sure why this didn't get thru..all i want to do is wish you a happy new year you so deserve it..i want you to know i think your son was such a beautiful child inside and out and you can see it by looking at those beautiful eyes...hopefully we'll all meet someday..love xx

  • want to wish you and your family a healthy and happy new year..you so deserve it..i can't seem to get him out of my mind..he was such a beautiful child you can see how good he was by looking into those beautiful eyes..i just want you to know how much he is loved....

  • just wanted to wish you a very happy and healthy new year to you and your family..and i want you to know everytime i see your little boy my heart sinks, but if things are what most people believe we will all meet someday...also know that he was so very special...you can tell by those beautiful eyes

  • Poor little guy. He was a brave little boy. My cousin fought colon cancer at the age of 16she died @ 17.

  • What a brave little boy.this video makes me cry. im sooo sorry.

  • Mein Beileid!!!Das ist so schwierig Kindern zu verlieren!!!sehr traurig!!

  • Your son was so brave and beautiful! Its hard to watch how ill he got towards the end, and I can imagine beeing an angel mom. RIP

  • The pic at 4:26 broke my heart...

  • That was so sad, I have been reading alot of these comments on this video and I think everyones thoughts and opinions have been covered all ready, so therefore I wont go into detail how brave your son was, I just feel I have to say something though because this little boy is SOO brave. Why did he have such a sore face in some parts of the movie? I'm assuming that it is because of the cancer but what causes it?

  • The sores on his face toward the end of his life were from a fever that hit 103 and a reaction to an antibiotic. The two worked against each other and caused blisters which were filled with fluid. When those blisters ruptured it caused a leathery type skin. We applied LOTS of lotion to his face for days and he lost the blisters and the leathery look.

    And he was a brave little boy! He faced more in his short 8 years than most of us could handle as adults. He is, was, and always will be my HERO!!!

  • Thankyou so much for your quick reply, this movie is so touching and you're right, he is/was SUCH a brave little boy. God bless you and your family. x

  • What a fighter! What an amazing kid and I would like to echo a comment from below, I can't wait to meet him in Heaven! My heart goes out to all of his loved ones and may God Bless you all!! Thank you for allowing us to learn to appreciate life and the simple beautiful treasures it offers us every day, thank you!

  • this made me break down and start crying

  • well that was the most amazing but saddest thing ever! God bless you all, and thank you for sharing the journey of your sons transition from here to heaven...he will be so happy in heaven, i cant wait to meet him.

  • excellent message i couldnt of said it any better!!!

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I watched this twice and with such pain. I cannot even fathom what you all went thru losing your beautiful brown eyed boy. My problems seem just so insignificant compared to this. May God bless you and your family and remember that you will be with him again one day.

  • Your beautiful brave son Doug was an inspiration to me 12 months ago. I have 3 kids and my youngest is 22 months old. the moment I saw Doug I put my cigarettes into the bin and never had another cigarette again. Your son inspired me to do this and I think of him almost daily when I see my kids. He is looking in on his family with the largest smile on his face all the time. thankyou for sharing your pain you will never know how many people in many ways you have helped by doing so. Pat (England)

  • oh god im so so sorry for your loss hes such an adorable little boy and so so brave hes at peace now and one day you will be all together god bless you all and you to Doug

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad from cancer but it hurts so much more to see a kid having the same disease and going though the same process as an adult does. I'm sure for him is so much better that he went to a better place. Now you have a guardian angel up there...

  • God Bless you all, I am so sorry for your loss. Another Angel was added to Heaven^j^

  • My heart goes out to you parents watching your precious boy go through all this. I'm so glad Jesus is holding him in Heaven with no pains, only JOY!! How old was he when he was diagnosed? He appears to have had a LOT of love!

  • Cancer afflicted 3% of the American populace in the late 1900's. It now is the #1 killer passing heart disease in 2006. Nearly 50% of Americans will contract cancer. The bitter, Amygdalin-rich nuts & seeds are being systematically removed from our diets.

  • He was diagnosed when he was 21 months old. He passed away when he was 8 years, 2 months, 11 days and 20 minutes old.

    He WAS and still IS VERY LOVED!

  • God bless you! I hope your family is doing okay. His sister looks a lot like him I thought. Cry out to Jesus when times get tough and you miss him so much it feels like your heart breaks. I will pray for you all as I think of you. He touched my heart. He was surely a very special little boy. I hope he had some really good years in between there with no pain or suffering.

  • Bless you...when we think that we have so many damn problems and you went through this with this beautiful angel...bless you and your family...To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

  • i remember my sis couldnt have animals at all not even plants fresh fruit or veggies im glad he could have his cat

  • Cancer's a metabolic disease. No metabolic disease can be cured thru mechanical measures. Trophoblast (healing cells) & cancer cells are one-and-the-same. Amygdalin {found in the seeds of 1,400 fruits} is the body's defense against and control for these left-over/errant cells. My wife grew up in Saigon during the war. She can recall 1 neighbor, out of 100's, coming down w/cancer. The Vietnamese eat bamboo daily. It's rich in Amygdalin (vitamin B17). {See: "A World Without Cancer"}

  • I'm interested in this, not to derail from this beautiful little boy and his brave fight with cancer. What are some of the fruits that have Amygdalin?

  • The kernels {within the stone or husk} of apricots; the seeds of apples, cherries, nectarines, peaches (very hard to crack), pears, plums, prunes, watermelons. Amygdalin is also present in alfalfa, bamboo; fava, garbanzo & mung beans. Amygdalin 1. a cyanogenetic glycoside found in seeds & other plant parts of the bitter almond & other members of the family Rosaceae.

    2. Laetrile See: "A World Without Cancer" & interview with G. Edward Griffin & news report on Jason Vale on You-Tube.

  • Thank you pro. I'll check it out.

  • I loved your vedio it was like me living my hospital days all over again!! I dont want to say sorry because i know that sorry doesnt help but i can say that it must be hard going through what you did because it was hard beeting the stupid "C" word that is what we call it!! God Bless you and your family i will be praying for you all

  • There is a God.

  • How can you say that??

  • RIP little guy..

    im sure ur happy now ;)

  • Hola

  • My bestfriend just died from a pediatric brain tumor so I know how hard it is to loose somebody. He went to the ER one day and it turned out that the tumor grew to the size of his head the doctor said that he has never seen a tumor be so agressive and grow that fast because about a month before he had a clean MRI but the doctor told his parents there was nothing more to do and that was his last night. Rest In Peace Ricky I love you<3

  • his whole head was a tumor why would I lie about that. It was the fastest growing tumor the doctors ever saw. I was there when he died I know what happened.

  • Why Do You Have To Be Nasty About It... You Suck R.I.P Ricky x x x x

  • What a beautiful boy, and what a wonderful, loving family. Thank you for sharing your video. I come from a family of cancer survivors, so I know your battle fought, but I can't imagine your pain. My brother had childhood cancer (3 years), then I had it, twice. So I know the importance of funding. Thanks for posting. To those watching, please donate to research so no more children have to suffer like this beautiful little man did. I know he is smiling in heaven now mom. Bless you all.

  • I'm a male who had to get a dual mastectomy at 15. I had a small thyroid tumor removed at 28. I am proof that you can beat cancer. Don't give up and don't give over to superstition. Prayer never helped anybody for anything more than the placebo effect, but science and the HUMAN MIND can and will defeat cancer. Never surrender.

  • sciencedoggy, There is a God up in Heaven and he does hear our prayers. We don't understand Him or His ways, but He is there and someday He will come back, taking the people who love Him and trust Him up to Heaven and then we'll understand. He loves YOU! Search for him. Read a Bible... I'll pray for you.

  • my mom died of cancer and ive seen how much she suffered she lasted 4 month this lil angel fought all the way god bless the family .he's in a betta place with no "pains"with the other angels

  • God Bless you, and your beautiful family. Rest in Peace. Love

  • You know, I'm 17 and I have a cancer too...

    So I know what it is...

  • your pain is mine.. people don't know this is a wonderful life until something happens..i hold you in my hearth

  • I am so sorry for your great loss!

    He is now in heaven where you will see him again one day.

  • poor kid

  • I watched the video only recently and I have cried almost daily,what a brave young man your son was,he is now at peace and I hope you have found the strength to carry on and remember the happy times you had with him,he is an inspiration to us all,God bless you and your family,

    Gary{England}

  • In the US about 46 children are diagnosed every weekday, along w/1 in 330 people being diagnosed w/cancer before they turn 20. I highly recommend you search the web for sites and foundations that are helping fight for a cure.

    RIP Daegen, Talia, Boey, Riley, Briannon, Isaac, Kristina, Doug, Kayla, Ashley & all who are fighting or who are now free in Heaven

    God bless, Alex

  • you talk as if from experience. Have you too lost a child?

  • This is a very large something missing in my heart....Douglas John Ruley, age 8 years, 2 months, 11 days FOREVER!

    Please help STOP this disease! Donate to causes that DIRECTLY benefit childhood cancer research! Contact your representatives and senators; ask them to pass the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act! Our children are our future...my future is gone with my son! This should not happen! Children should not suffer and pass away! A parent's heart should NOT have to break!

  • OHHH GODDDD!!!! Im in tears. Your son his eyes..he din't care about the gifts..he looked so tired. Im soo toutched..I just want to say that I have a condition that makes life so hard but ur son..gave me stretgh to face my desease. Thank You soo much for letting me meet him.

  • You asked in a comment that got removed by accident how we are doing. Obviously there are horrible days, but there are also days when I remember he is with God now and he is COMPLETELY free of cancer! He won; he just didn't win where we wanted him to win which was with us.

    I have my days when I can't hardly get out of bed, but I have his sister to take care of, so we keep moving forward.

    We all have to do something to make this stop! Donate to National Children's Cancer Society! They help!!!!

  • yep

  • Hello, I'm in tears now, beautiful video. I found your site because one of my two adopted sons in Indonesia is dying of brain cancer, and I had just uploaded a video about his struggle. One thing I am appreciating now is how many more services and help are available in the US than in his country. Without them , it is so so hard. I ask that anyone who comes to your site also pray for Ketut in Indonesia, Thank you. His video is 'Andai Ku Tahu' with him singing a very touching song.

  • Yes, his full name is Douglas John but we always called him Doug

  • what a beautiful child. So sorry about your loss.

    Good he could spend the last part of his life at home with his family. What a comfort that must have been for him.

    I am touched beyond words...Thank you for sharing

  • My wife and I are so sorry for your loss. We watched the video and can't stop crying. It reminds us of our little girl who is battling cancer now.

  • I pray for you and your little girl! May she be one of the ones who beats this beast!

  • I,m sorry for your loss.He was a beautiful boy. My brother died of cancer.Found out he had it in october and he died in january.

  • It looks like your son fought this cancer for many years. It is obvious watching this how much all of you loved him and how amazing you tried to make the time that he had. I have 2 son's 14 and 19 and I cannot imagine how hard it would be to lose one of them. I just wanted to say thank you for letting us into this private part of your lives. You were very brave to do this. The last pictures of him truly looked like he was at peace. God bless all of you.

  • I`ve a son more or less his age, and to see this video and imagine it could be my son just makes me cry...

    Rest in peace little man. You are an angel now.

  • I am a nurse and trying to get into the local childrens hospital on the hematology/oncology floor. These children inspire me sooo much. They are brave little warriors and I want to hug them all.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Judging by the pictures, your son was able to die at home??

    Anyway, so sorry again. What a sweetie he was.

  • Yes, he was. We found out there was nothing left to do for him so we brought him home to pass surrounded by his kitties and his family...loved to the last second and beyond!

  • Did he suffer...

  • Did he suffer? Yes and no. He did really well until the last few days and then he would have suffered had it not been for Morphine. That's a wonderful drug and kept him comfortable. His biggest "suffering" I think was during the week or so when he couldn't see. For some reason he went blind for a short term. That bothered him more than any other discomfort he had. He was a strong willed child; he was determined to beat his cancer. I wish he could have.

  • so sorry for your loss. he was such a cute little boy. may god be with you.

  • As a parent, I dont know how people who lose a child can carry on. I hope you have the strength to live your lives and remember the happy memories with your son. These stories make you realise, we worry about the most trivial things in our lives and what really matters is our friends and family.

  • i can't tell you what i am feeling now, this little boy,sooo young and soo sweet...

    i am so sorry that he is gone now,life is so very unfair.

    i can tell you all kinds of things now,but that will not bring your little boy back.

    i want to wish you all the strenght to go on.

    lots of love, with deep respect, petra

  • It is so sad.

    A reall brave young boy.

    All I can do is to wish happiness for you...

    I'm sure your son is in a better place now!

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your precious brave little warrior. Rest In Peace Sweet Boy.

    God Bless.......

  • Such a brave young boy. I had no idea what children with cancer went through. You've created an incredibly beautiful and heartwrenching tribute to your precious son and you are educating others through yours and his loss - how admirable and selfless. Sincerest sympathy to you and your family.

  • Doug was a wonderful,strong little boy and I'm sorry that he passed away.

    I'm sorry to your loss too.

  • I fight everyday with your beloved children...i miss Doug also.

    I live in europe and work at national cancer Inst.

    love.

  • God Bless you! Keep fighting please! No more children should ever have to go thru what my son did!! A cure needs to be found!

  • he was such a beautifull boy a cheery strong little lad you are truly wonderful people and brilliant parents i cant stop sobbing so sorry for your loss xxx

  • my love and haert gose out for these children and their parents and families lets fine a cure for childhood cancers

  • This is the most beautiful tribute I have ever seen. It truly touches my heart. I'm currently a medical student pursuing pediatric oncology and last night I stayed up all night studying for my exam and watched this tribute intermittantly as motivation to not give up...I don't know you or your family, but you are obviously amazing people to touch complete strangers in the way that you do. God bless your little boy, what a fighter. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.
