A DOOR OPENS
Why open the door here in a mental sense and commit your time to read further? What is in it for you Dear Reader? Well, it is because not only is it an intriguing story of overcoming adversity but I am going to provide you with the knowledge that I gained to heal and avoid both surgery and life long medicine. On other pages I will provide recipes and remedies; natural herbs and plants that I have used; as well as the links to various reputable businesses that can provide products. It will at least give you a starting point on your quest. You may also obtain my books where I provide further details of my journey as well as a day by day schedule of what I did for healing (what I took and when, my diet plan, and my spiritual plan). |
UNDERTAKING THE CHALLENGE
Why did I take on such a challenge when most people would choose the quick fix? 1st of all the Holy Spirit provided me guidance. Who am I to listen to? A man or the Holy Spirit. Duh. An obvious choice. God’s promise to us is an Abundant Life. Abundant life does not mean simply living a long life. It is about a quality life which means full of joy, peace of mind, and harmony. That is why the home page banner of this site says CHOOSE LIFE!!!! And in order to choose this life you simply must choose God Dear Reader.
Keep in mind I received this message for my course of action prior to talking with the doctors about my treatment options. After numerous tests and procedures, the doctors told me the only option was surgery as medicine could not fix my condition. I turned GREY as a ghost and sweat was dripping down my forehead upon hearing this news. How can this be the abundant life I was promised? Another opinion from another doctor was that a medicine in the biological classification may help me. These are on the lines of Humira and Remicade. I was told I would need to be on them for life. This medicine is required monthly and the ordeal to administer it (shots or IV drips) not to mention the possible side effects (weak immune system, cancer!) and cost (up to $15000 per treatment depending on the brand and insurance) made me think again even on this option: How can this be an abundant life?
Here are the pictures of me and my insides on the 2nd day in the hospital. WARNING - AVERT YOUR EYES if a medical photo disturbs you (and these are the censored ones). When your insides look as this it is extremely painful. Imagine a dagger being poked inside you over and over. Yes this was a challenge.
