This is my personal Christian testimony about the abuse that I put
my body thru and the consequences that I am dealing with at the present. The
discipline I am receiving is great suffering that I never thought I would have
to go thru and it is from God. I am not blaming God now, although at the first
I did. Most people when they see me have no idea of the poor health that I am experiencing.
Consequences: I do not get out of the house much because
I do not have the strength. My body is basically skin and bones at this point
and I do not know if I will really recover. It is in the Hands of God and
whatever He thinks best. My muscles are so small that I cannot walk very long
before I will have to sit down. There are many things that are too heavy for me
to lift, things you may take for granted. I could not move my furniture around
even if I wanted to. I still can do most things in the kitchen but taking a
shower requires most of my strength and I will have to sit down as soon as I
get out.
Most people are shocked when they learn about what I can
only eat. I am only eating a few raw vegetables at the present, in fact my
entire diet consists of Organic: Lettuce, Cucumbers, Cabbage and Celery along
with about one quarter of a peanut per day. If I change my diet from this regiment
of eating I will get extremely sick that
will last for days and it will keep me down so I cannot basically do anything.
I have to eat almost every 2 hours because raw vegetables do not stay with you
very long before you begin to salivate.
Because my body is not receiving enough nutrients it has
determined the kind of weight I am experiencing. I am about six feet tall and
only 100 pounds. I have a good friend Ed and brother in Christ who runs errands
for me like going to the store to buy me food. Not only is my body weak but my
mind is not near the alertness that I had of just a few years ago. I have been
dealing with this condition of my run down body for about 3 years and the
Doctors say it is incurable. In time I will either get better or pass on.The psychological effects of not having enough nutrients for your body does also alter your mind. I get dizzy at times and cannot remember my next thought. I am 62 years old but that has nothing to do with my mind not being alert. Three years ago my memory was beyond most people. I do not sleep very well at all, sometimes only 4 or 5 hours per night, but when I get up I will have to sit on my couch because I cannot stand for very long.
I also deal with a lot of fears in my mind that I know are not real but because I lack many important nutrients I cannot function sometimes as a normal person. I will have to stop for a few seconds to gain my next thought. I cannot take any medicine or be around any chemicals, even some cleaners will make me sick. Just breathing in some fumes will take me down.
I only drink Pure Life bottle water because it agrees
with me the most. My skin is dry and I flake so you may see dandruff on me. My
breath is bad and I cannot take anything for it. Most people talk to me from a
distance and I do not blame them. The people in my church called: Mosaic are
very understanding and pray for me as well as being a great support.
I live in the northern part of the United States and it
gets cold most of the year. I have to keep my heat in my house turned up to 78
degrees in order to tolerate the atmosphere. When I go outside I wear 2 shirts,
one sweatshirt, 3 coats and one of them is a battery heated coat and I still
get cold. I move as fast as I can to get into a vehicle that has been warmed
up.Update is now I have to go by Wheel Chair to Church or other outside activities. I can only walk as far as one room at a time before having to be seated for a while. My leg muscles are very weak and I cannot stand for very long.
When inside of the Church I still need more heat because
for me it still is very cold in there compared to my house. I also have a small
electric heater that we plug in and it is placed right in front of me to blow
hot air on towards me during the meetings. Thank God for this extra help, so
that I am able to sit thru a service. I do not take off any of my coats when
inside of the Church or at a friend's house otherwise I would be cold. I long
for summer.
What diagnosis do the Doctors give me? They say I have
extreme food allergies, under weight and basically poor nutrition. I cannot
take any medication that they might prescribe because I also would react
against it and may die within hours. I urinate almost every hour except when
sleeping I can hold it almost 2 hours. I get up several times a night but that
is the way it is.I read a lot and pray hoping for things to get better and trust God for the kind of outcome He wants. I will listen to the Bible online when my mind is not alert enough to read. People from the Church and family will visit with me during the week which is a great comfort to me.
Things that I deal with daily include doing some computer
repair out of my home so I am not passive. It is very time consuming cutting up
raw vegetables all day and requires much of my time especially when eating
every 2 hours. I am anxious much of the time because of poor nutrition. I deal
with frustration because there are many things that I cannot do myself.
I also need much padding and cushion where I sit because
my bones cannot rest just on any hard surface or chair. I wonder from day to
day how I will feel because much of the time I feel weak. At the present I deal
with constipation, some kidney pain, runny nose and a weak mind that has
trouble concentrating. What brought me to this condition?
The abuse: It did not happen overnight and that is why it
is difficult to give an exact explanation. I have pretty much always had to
deal with some kind of health issue. I had to function daily from a small child
with respiratory allergies with hacking and sneezing during the Spring and Fall,
foot fungus, weak kidneys, frequent colds and sometimes skin rashes. I did not
think much about when I was a child but when I began to get into my twenties I
would have more traumatic illnesses like pleurisy which it took about a month
to recover.God began to show me the problem and that was my diet was very poor in receiving the proper nutrients and also I had a need to eliminate what we called junk food which is really not food at all. Unfortunately I was a slow learner and it took years before I began to almost completely eliminate junk from my diet. In my early 30's I began to eat much food that was organically grown and that was when my health was the best, however it only lasted a few years and I would go back to eat like everyone else.
All my allergies cleared up but not completely but where
I could easily manage them so that they would not bother me during work or
daily life. When I went back to eat like most people my digestion system did
not work properly. I would have diarrhea sometimes or it would turn into constipation.
I also would deal with headaches, kidney pain, heartburn, fear due to improper
nutrition and other annoying things. But it would take years again before I
would learn. I my mid 40's I began to eat much better eating much organically
grown food but unfortunately I ate some junk with it, but my health did improve
over a long period of months.
You would think that I would get the picture between my
diet and health but I still lacked Bible knowledge on this subject. So I began
to see what God had to say because He created us and knows more about nutrition
than anyone else including Doctors. I got into Whole Grain Wheat baking my own
bread, starting with wheat berries grinding it into flour and then making a
very healthy bread. I was preparing real food made in its natural state which
was the best you could eat like raw fruits and vegetables. Things were much better
as far as my health was concerned.
My downfall as it was before was it lasted only a few
years and when I went back I would experience the same painful symptoms that I
had previously. When I got into my mid 50's my health was poor and I knew it
but I changed very little towards God 's Way of eating in its natural form. I
would experience more frequent kidney pain with a trace of blood in my urine
and I would get colds easily.
Then towards my late 50's I made a major mistake and turned
to a New Age remedy called "hydrogen
peroxide food grade" which is designed to supply more oxygen to the blood
system that would aid the body to heal itself from almost any disease including
cancer. I thought this would help my weak kidneys get better, but it backfired
on me because it was not God's Way. I use hydrogen peroxide food grade in the
most smallest doses that you can dilute as a safe guard from overdose.
I did this for about 4 months a few times a week but even
after 2 months I would see negative signs but just ignored them. I developed a
very itchy skin rash with some abdominal pain but I had incredible energy. You
would think I would catch on and learn but I was still slow about understanding
the issue before me and one day I got extremely sick with symptoms like the Flu
but a little different and it lasted for about 4 days. I stopped using hydrogen
peroxide food grade altogether but little did I know it was too late. I
developed hydrogen peroxide food grade poisoning which there is no known cure.
All of the symptoms that I told you about earlier are what I deal with now
daily and it is no picnic.
My entire health could of been great even into later
years in life if only I would of listen to God and eat real food created by
Him. The Bible has much to say on the subject and I would be glad to share more
with you. I am now dealing with God's discipline and correction in my life but
I must live with the consequences unless God does a miracle.
Read: 1Corinthians 3:16-17 "Do you not know that you
are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s
temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that
temple." Some say that these verses refer to the corporate Church and
others say it refers to your individual body. Let me tell you why I believe it
could be both because it says the Spirit dwells in you which is in your
individual body.
I have destroyed my temple by not eating properly and
misusing unscriptural healing methods. Therefore God's judgment is upon me for
how long He wants and this I accept even if I go home early. Everybody says it
won't happen to me but think again. My advice
to you would be to learn by example of good and bad that people do, so you can avoid
the terrible pain I am going thru. Ask God to give you power to eat His way.
Get off all junk like coffee, donuts, ice cream, cookies, cakes, potato chips, pizza,
pop and all process foods. This is my personal Christian testimony. God's Grace is enough!Download this document for more information. Foods God Created
