Round One Done...Round Two Coming Up!

Thank you so much for your prayers as I went to the Wellness Center in Lincoln, Nebraska a couple of weeks ago. I can't tell you how encouraging it was. Dr. Sara is every bit as amazing as I heard. Are you ready for this? SHE THINKS SHE CAN MAKE ME BETTER!! We have a long way to go, and I'm going to be on a journey of getting better for the next 1.5-2 years. Really, that's not very long at all when I think about the 5+ years doctors have been trying to manage my illness...poorly. 


The thermograph was interesting. She took my temperature at 100 points on my body then left me in a room to get cold for about 10 minutes. Then she took my temperature at those same 100 points again. This showed her how my organs and such react when they are stressed. We learned that almost all of my organs pretty much give up when they are stressed and my entire core is inflamed. My kidneys were really swollen, which explains why my side had been hurting so bad. The bottom right quadrant of my liver is not functioning at all, which is why I'm turning yellow. I had fluid around my heart and lungs, which is why I've been breathing so shallow lately. There's some other stuff going on too, but if I were you I wouldn't want to hear about it! Think parasites and bad bugs :-(

So...I got a bunch of treatments in when I was down there a couple of weeks ago. I came home with some drops and pills to take that have been doing a really good job of detoxifying my body. I'm getting a lot of fevers, which are good because the fevers are killing off bad bacteria. None of this is pleasant and it makes me really tired. There is an epic battle raging inside of me, but if these treatments will make me better I am more than willing to go through it! 

Dr. Sara works with some of the best doctors in the world. She already sent them my thermograph to take a look at. The best part of all of this is that Sara and the doctors she works with are Christ followers. This is so encouraging to me. Sara blessed my socks off when I was there. She encouraged me physically as well as spiritually. After looking at my thermograph the first time she looked at me and said, "You laugh a lot, don't you?" I said yes, wondering how in the world she knew that from looking at a read out of my temperatures. She went on to say, "You laugh when you should cry sometimes don't you?" Again, she was right on. She told me that God has made me a really good "coper" ... in other words, He knew what I would have to go through some day and He made my body able to cope with pain and illness well. I should be a lot sicker than I am. My thermograph showed that my core temperature is the highest she's seen in someone with an autoimmune disease, though it's still low. This is my body coping well. We're working on raising my core temperature (which has always been 97.2 instead of 98.6 degrees). 

Besides raising my body temperature and getting rid of built up toxins and bad bugs Sara is going to help me stop coping and just get better. I can't tell you how fascinating it all was. I tell you, if Sara wasn't a believer and if I couldn't actually feel the treatments doing something in my body I'd think it was all nuts! But I can and I tell you that at this point in my life it's worth a shot. 

I will be leaving Sunday morning for another trip to Lincoln for more treatments. I would appreciate your prayers that I would feel well, especially the hours in the car traveling, and that we would be able to see progress and get in some more good treatments. Thank you so much. I feel like there is so much more to tell you, but I can't remember! Oh, speaking of not remembering...Sara said she can help bring my memory back and get rid of the fog I seem to live in. Yay!



Getting comfortable with my ozone treatment. It's like super powerful oxygen filtered through olive oil. It's amazing! I can breathe really well and it makes me nice and sleepy :-) This trip she's going to kick it up a notch and give me even more powerful stuff. We'll be working on my lungs a lot this trip. Dr. Sara says I don't have to have asthma...I say OKAY!!

Here I am using one of the machines that was made by a doctor in Germany. These machines are no longer able to be made so once this machine is done, it's done. God is keeping it working! In this photo it is working on my right kidney.
