November 3, 2009 Day 1

The day is here, enough of wasting time. My time, Gods time and my family’s time. I am sick and dying, According to all my doctors. I was given 5 years to live summer 2008. I have made poor choices when it comes to taking care of my body and (my family’s for that matter). We have been given a gift of life and we are to be good stewards of the gift. I have not, I have abused my body from the time I was a teenager, drugs, sex, bad eating habits, stress, just to name a few. Well, as for the sex and the drugs, I changed my beliefs and lifestyle. I met Jesus and He changed my life in so many ways, I am so thankful for my life and ( through Him ) all it has to offer.

I should first tell you of the path I have been led to. The eating of Raw Food, what does that mean? Cutting out all cooked food, processed food, white sugar, bread, flour, everything except for raw fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and some grains. Now don’t worry, there are so many ways to mimic cooked food on Raw, Desserts are plentiful (some of which are to die for!) So much more yummy than brownies which are my favorite.

I grew up with divorced parents and had to take care of myself from a young age. I never had good eating habits. I didn’t like most all vegetables or fruits. Although, I liked potatoes, and corn. When I was 13 years old, I was introduced to artichokes and mayo, yummy. In January 2007 I heard the voice of the Lord, He confirmed my need to go raw, and (The Lord is wonderful! Ask…He always answers! ) from that time until now, November 2009 I have been eating several new vegetables. Brussels sprouts, asparagus, celery, apples, onions, garlic, dates, dried fruit. I know this is silly to most of you, but I have always struggled with this area of my life, a real fear with panic attacks and all. We all have our issues in life and for me this is an area of complete disaster. I have made my body the way it is for lack of nutrition. I have taught my children very bad habits, instead of a love for good, healthy food. Food that will keep them healthy and disease free.



Well I want to list what is going on with my body just to get it out of the way. So you know why such a change is required. I have been diagnosed with the following and also some of the symptoms. Just a note all of my Diseases are Autoimmune except my Liver Disease, which is Terminal. (The liver is the only organ in the body if given the right tools can regenerate itself)The reason I am listing all the things I go through is because I want you and me to know of all the things I have been healed of. I know that all of these will go away given time, and the right tools my body needs. All these diseases are INCURABLE according to modern medicine. The only thing they can do is give you drugs for the symptoms and pain killers. I have been diagnosed with these by several medical doctors, and have seen specialist for each one. Several of these are compared with 1)stage four cancer 2)renal failure 3) being stabbed with a knife and having surgery awake.


*Diabetes type 2 with a fasting of 310. Also the Autoimmune type

*Fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain which includes burning,throbbing, shooting, or stabbing in the muscle fibrous tissue,fatigue, headaches, IBS,TMJ,chemical sensitivity,sleeping disorder called alpha-EEG anomaly

*Lupus SLE, which attacks my Pancreas, Spleen, Heart, and Liver. The symptoms for me are the classic butterfly rash on the face, mouth ulcers, easy bruising, hair loss, joint pain/swelling, muscle aches/tenderness (also caused by the fibro), fevers, pain in the chest, shortness of breath, dry eyes, memory loss, swollen legs,arms and feet, swelling of the organs and pain in the organs.

*Breast tumors 1 large (4 inches in diameter) and several pea size ones, extreme pain

*Over Weight, I am currently 75 kilos. I have already lost 33 pounds as a result of diet change and exercise.

The symptoms that go along with all this are:

Swelling of the liver spleen and pancreas, Fatigue, weakness, fevers, nausea, Stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, Sun sensitivity, Hair loss, Headaches, Dizziness, fainting, Muscle spasm, Memory loss, getting up at night anywhere from 11 to 22 times a night, insomnia, swollen/tender glands, Excessive thirst, shortness of breath, swollen legs and feet, pain in chest, Brest (tumor) pain, difficulty in swallowing, dry mouth, nosebleeds, ringing in ears, grey hair, hearing loss, Miscarriages 6-8, blurry vision, joint pain/swelling, Chronic back pain, skin rashes, persistent dry cough,hoarse voice, puffy face, weather sensitivity,TMJ, dry eyes and mouth, Muscle tremors in hands, legs and face,cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation, swollen liver, spleen and pancreas

Up until January 2009 I was taking 14 prescription medications, heavy drugs with sever side affects. The doctors said they would prolong my life a few years and help with the pain. Well they didn’t help with the pain and made me sicker.

I am sure I forgot a few things but you get the idea. So I will attempt to write a journal of what is going on with my body the good and the bad. What my thoughts are and how I am feeling emotionally and spiritually. I know the God has told me to do that and that he is the one who does the healing.

I invite you along on this journey of healing with me
