Hello For at least 12 years of my adult life my daily prayer was VERY simple; more like Him less like me. I strive to be more like Jesus and less human. In Feb of 2016 many strange things started happening in and to my body, my mind and my entire being; biting, scratching, skin crawling, rashes, purging, INTENSE lower back pain causing sciatica and worst of all friends, family and medical professionals, some who I had known my entire life, “literally” turned their back on me, just to name a few. Was this an answer to my prayer? I was now suffering and shunned from the world that I had known up to this point. I am by no means trying to compare my pain to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ but I do consider the suffering of Morgellons as well as the abandonment that accompanies it to be something Jesus did endure while He was here in the human flesh!! As my Faith grew so did my prayer life, my daily prayer for the next 14 years was; Heavenly Father please close the eyes that I see with and the ears that I hear with and open my heart to You and Your ways so that Your will can be done through me, always. Between the months of Feb and July 2016, I was so miserable and so alone and quite honestly more than ready to leave this world if this is the way I had to live in it. I’ve been through other trying times in my life and I knew I had two choices; turn away from God or turn towards God. I buried myself in the Word, Welcomed my alone time with my Creator and asked God every day to help guide me to where He wanted me to be through this trial. I also spent A LOT of time reading A LOT of websites and learning about a world I could have never even imagined existed, the world of Toxic Diseases. Then in July shortly after finding this wonderful website and beginning Mel’s AMAZING protocol, I happened to see a woman in a store who had sores all over her face… I think in the past I may have viewed this woman as someone who was making poor choices in life or someone I should stay far away from after all I had a compromised immune system, instead I stopped dead in my tracks and looked up above…. Was this an answer to my prayer? Did He close my eyes and my ears so that I could now see this woman, all the people on this website and anyone else I know struggling in any way shape or form as simply a child of God, PERIOD!! 5½ years ago when I initially started getting sick; extreme fatigue, lethargy, horrific joint pain, brain fog, recurring shingles and eventually a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) followed by Osteoporosis, I prayed to God to heal me and to make me whole again. Between then and April of 2016 I took more prescription medications for the above two diagnosed diseases than I believe an army should take. I was prescribed a plethora of medications that would work temporarily but the underlying/initial symptoms “always” resurfaced. I actually had shingles 8 times in a 5½ year period. In April of 2016 after 2 months of battling what I initially thought was scabies and doing some research I realized that my immune system was so challenged whatever I was dealing with was winning and I was losing. I abruptly stopped ALL prescription medication, against my Doctor’s wishes of course, stopped eating any and all forms of sugar (I had already given up grains and dairy when initially diagnosed with RA) and increased my intake of some natural anti-virals. These measures helped but definitely did not eliminate my symptoms. I began Mel's full Protocol on July 5, 2016 and can honestly say that I felt better within 5 days; I had a substantial increase in energy, less itching, scratching, rashes, etc. In August I went to my quarterly Rheumatologist appointment and just one month after starting the protocol I was charted as being in “full” remission from RA. Could this be an answer to prayer? Did this awful trial lead me to THE path for complete health restoration?? There have recently been more realizations regarding my health that I will include in a future post as I’m sure you are as tired of reading as I am of typing. Smile!!! Sometimes the answer to prayer is much different then we could have ever imagined and this CRAZY ride definitely falls into that category. However we must ALWAYS trust that God’s plan for us and for our lives is MUCH better than ANYTHING we could have EVER imagined for ourselves!!! With God by our side we are all winning, always!!!! Love, Peace and Prayers to all my fellow warriors; past, present and future!!!! | |||

Hi Deanna, I am glad to hear that you are doing so well. It sounds like you have been through an awful lot but stayed in the fight. You have come out on the other side stronger and healthier. There is no doubt that you are a warrior. 100% cannot be too far away. Isaiah 42:13 The Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior He will stir up His zeal; with a shout He will raise the battle cry and will triumph over His enemies. Cheryl | |||

Dearest Deanna, WOW and thank you for the update on your progress! Praise God you are back in the race and this time to win. I am so happy for you and feel blessed for your beautiful friendship. The amazing part of this community is the encouragement we get from one another and you have certainly been there for me as well as many others. You are right on when you talk about our relationship with God. There are many times when he was the only one I would talk to. Sometimes I was even angry with him but I never gave up faith. My prayers for you are to remain strong and continue to heal. The protocol, diet changes, and of course God are the reasons you are making progress. I look forward to the day you make it to 100%!!! “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped... Psalms 28:7 In Christ Love, Laura | |||
