Greetings form the below zero Coast of Maine,
When you’ve been around for nearly 60 years, your story becomes long. This is my second attempt at getting an introduction on the board. The first one was becoming a book so I’m starting over with what I hope is the condensed version.
I’m a born again Christian who has been fortunate to spend most of my life in a quiet, rural location on the coast. I’ve lived in the same house for over 30 years; now with my second husband. The first one left when the house was half finished leaving me with our 3 beautiful children to raise alone and a house to finish. I refused to divorce him and it took him more than 8 years to divorce me. The children and I hoped and prayed for him to get his life straightened out and come home for all that time. He never did, nor did he bother to send support checks, etc. When the divorce he initiated finally took place he didn’t even bother to show up and the judge awarded me all the property, which has now become very valuable.
Not long after the divorce the Lord saw fit to bring a real man into my life. I was not ever going to look for one. This one is the father of the man that my daughter had become engaged to. When the engagement happened I decided that I should get to know his parents…There was only one….Ed. He was raising his 5 kids alone since his wife had abandoned them for a life of freedom with a man young enough to be her son. The long story short is that we beat the kids to the altar and have lived happily everafter…now 18 years. We appreciate each other so much and enjoy being together.
For many years I worked in a self-contained program for high schoolers that had mental illness of one sort or another, teaching them all subject areas. I also was teacher, “mother”, councilor, nurse etc. This is because we were remote and spent the entire day together. I loved those kids and saw many of them heal, graduate and go on to lead productive lives.
In the fall of 1997 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The disease progressed rapidly so at the end of that school year I had to retire. By December of 2000 I was no longer able to dress or undress myself, bathing had to be a shower and often I couldn’t raise my arms to wash my own hair. I couldn’t turn the ignition key in the car, open jars and do many everyday chores. I was on lots of meds, which were suppressing my immune system but not helping much with the control of the dis-ease.
In January of 2001 I was put on a new med, Enbrel. This one was effective… marvelously effective. In fact in three hours after the first injection I began to feel better.
As time went by and I began to live again questions began to cloud my mind regarding this med. The price was very great—nearly $1500.00 per month and it worked by suppressing the immune system to the point that there is a much increased incidence of cancer and other diseases for those taking it. The cost of the med would also keep my husband working very hard and unable to retire. I didn’t think I could face that pain again…. What could I do????
I began to pray that my Heavenly Father would either show me a way to become healthy or take me home. Within a week someone put a video in my hand about a program of healing that relied on juicing among other things. I began searching out a juicer online and “somehow” ended up at hps. Thank you Lord for the answer.
The idea of colon cleansing was completely foreign to me. Also I had majored in home economics in college and thought I knew about things like foods and nutrition but I have learned that all that teaching was wrong, very wrong! Nearly 60 years of wrong eating had put me where I was. Sick! Facing an unnecessarily early grave.
I pondered the site for a couple of weeks, talked it over with Ed and got his support but still was hesitating until one day while sitting in front of the site for the umpteenth time I felt the presence of the Lord. It was as if His hand was on my right shoulder and His voice was nearly audible, “It’s OK Pat. This is what you need to do…just do it.” So I did.
That first cleanse was the turning point in my health in so many ways. The support of fellow cleansers and of Jos-hua helped me turn my back on the western medical model and drop all those medications that were killing me…$25,000/year worth of medications. It was very difficult and fearsome going off that wonder drug and facing the pain that I knew would follow but I certainly don’t regret it. Now after 3 cleanses I am for the most part pain free and drug free. I’ve lost 60 pounds and have my life back….way back to like I might have been 20 years ago…only much better.
Lots if changes have happened for me because of hps. I have discovered that I can use my computer. I can write. I can read with understanding again (my brain had seemed to loose it’s ability to concentrate). I can enjoy my body…it has become a good place in which to be. I can enjoy picking up a grandchild, doing dishes, putting wood in the stove, walking, singing in the choir, hiking, making love with my husband….everything is so much sweeter now…
I completed a level 3 in June of 02 and have signed up for level 4 but when reading over level 4, I knew that my body wasn’t quite ready for it so I am redoing level 3 as preparation for level 4 which I’ll do when the weather warms. I’m looking forward to ever ascending good health as I walk this path and I’m rejoicing each day I travel it.
Love and blessing to all in cleansing land,
Pat
