Eureka! I've found it!

Last night I shared that my face had broken out and that I wasn't sure of what the root was. Well, I believe I have the answer. I went walking yesterday and the sun was pretty hot. I had the bright idea to put Extra Virgin Olive Oil on my face (I often use it on my face, scalp, and body) and then go walking. I really believe that the sun cooked my skin as if it was a piece of fish. Today, it's no longer bumpy because the bumps have all turned to scabs. I wish I would have uploaded a picture of it yesterday so that I could compare it for you today.  But just take my word for it...it looks horrible! Ok...maybe it doesn't look that bad. But considering the fact that my skin was flawless just a week ago and now not so much, ehhhhhh, not a good look...LITERALLY!

Rash??? What rash?!

Well, helllooooooo world! It took some time but as I knew it would, MY RASH IS GONE!!!! This time of year I'm always getting bit by something but in the past, it would morph into this huge ring, would cause swelling, and joint pain, WELL NOT ANYMORE!! God is so good! He is faithful to finish what He's started, and will never leave or forsake us. I knew that He wouldn't have brought me this far to leave me. My testimony of healing is sure and is only growing.  Here's a pic of where the rash used to be:

I am noticing that my face is beginning to break out; not in pimples but in bumps, kind of like an allergic reaction. I'm not sure if some of the non-raw foods that I'm consuming are the cause, if it's the Extra Virgin Olive Oil that's I'm using on my face, skin and hair, or if I'm simply not drinking enough water. Whatever the root, I am drinking goo-gobs of water, I applied my Moroccan Red Clay mask, steamed my face for 15 minutes and followed that with a Peroxide pat. I've gotten away from steaming but clearly it was helping, so I need to return to this as a daily regiment.  I'm gonna drink the activated charcoal tonight as well in the hopes that some more toxins will be released.  Here is a pic of my mask face, just as a reminder:

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME BUT I guess I got a little carried away when washing off the clay, and mistakenly got a tad-bit in my right eye. I was in here singing soprano notes (and those of you that know me, know that I'm a tenor kind of chick... occasionally an alto).  It was just sitting on my eyeball so we'll see what happens with that...Now my right eye is blood shot red...

I am still faithfully walking in the am and doing Zumba in the pm. I walked 4.134 miles this morning and will do one or two Zumba DVDs in a few.

STATUS ON FELLOW DETOXERS 

• I am happy to report that my mom successfully completed her detox and couldn't wait to consume her first non-raw meal, chicken breast and some other stuff, but she loved her chicken breast. She will continue to eat fruits and veggies but will add wild-caught fish and chicken to her diet.
• My friend Kim began her 11th day today and is happy to report that she has lost another inch in her mid-section. WHOO HOO! She has been doing the "Insanity" workout faithfully and is expecting and receiving results.
• One of my sisters at church began her detox on Monday and so far so good. Her mom also began today and they're both off to a great start.
• My cousin began hers today and is determined to keep a positive and spiritual frame of mind, and is disassociating herself from all negativity,and even from some people during this time.
• One of the teenagers at our church has gotten permission to order the full body detox, and will follow it with the supreme blood cleanse. I am so excited for her. She WILL get the results that she seeks.
• Many people are still inquiring and I hope that they step out on faith and allow God to work through this detox as well.

If anyone else is considering the full body detox, please inquire about it and order it from www.basichealthylivingtoday.com. This is the official website of the holistic health practitioner and nutritional coach APRIL CHAPMAN. Remember, she is the one that referred me to the full body detox and supreme blood cleanse, and I am reaping the healing benefits, and so are many of you. Let's show our support and appreciation back to April by supporting her in this endeavor. She offers the full body detox as well as her consultation services, to help you from the beginning of the detoxification process until the end. 

I hope to share many more detox success stories soon.

That's it for tonight. I hope that everyone has a blessed night, and I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING.

Be blessed. 

Launch of Basic Healthy Living website

I am happy to announce the launching of April Chapman's new website "Basic Healthy Living". She offers the full body detoxification product (from dhealhstore) along with her consultation services before, during, and after the detoxification process. You know how many of you have asked me questions about what to eat, how to eat, what steps to take regarding the detox, etc.? Well 9 out of 10 times when I have responded to you, it was from the expertise of April Chapman. I am so proud to support her in her most recent endeavor, which can be found at www.basichealthylivingtoday.com, and I hope that you will do the same.

Just in case you don't remember who April is, she's a holistic health practitioner and nutritional coach, who is very knowledgeable about how to bring the body back into balance with all things natural. If it had not been for her, I'm not sure what condition I would be in. Look at her website and familiarize yourself with her services. TRUST ME it will benefit you greatly. Her price of the full body detox will reflect that of dhealthstore.com however, she takes it a step further and will answer whatever questions you have throughout the process.

I am happy to report that my fellow detoxers are going strong:

• MY MOM - My mom should have been finished tomorrow but her liquid detox formula ran out but let me tell you; she looks GREAT! She has lost weight, her skin is flawless, I already told you that her vision has been perfected, her blood pressure has been fine (she has checked it daily since she stopped taking her blood pressure meds cold turkey before she started the detox), and she has more energy.  She also tries to walk daily.
• MY FRIEND KIM - Today is her 9th day of the full body detox (capsules) and she is going strong. She is continuing to lose weight and inches, she continues to be pain-free, and is excited about the results that she's experiencing.  She exercises daily by either walking or doing Shaun T's "Insanity".

KUDOS TO BOTH OF THEM ON A JOB WELL DONE!!!

FUTURE SCHEDULED DETOXERS:

1. One of the nurses at the infectious disease doctor's office that I used to go to called me today and began her detox on yesterday.
2. One of my cousin's will begin her detox on Wednesday.
3. A family of 3 will begin their detox next Monday.
4. A family of 5 will be ordering their full body detoxes shortly.
5. A friend of mine ordered hers this past Friday and is looking forward to beginning.
6. A couple just inquired about it yesterday and will be ordering it very soon.
7. A friend of the family just inquired about it today and will most likely be taking advantage of April's services in order to inquire about the correct course of action for her.
8. One of the teenager's that I know has inquired about the detox so will probably be ordering soon.
9. More and more are inquiring daily.
10. You should be next on this list...

Let me continue to assure you that I feel great, I don't have any pain, ALL OF MY CLOTHING IS TOO BIG (even the small clothes), I continue to be told that I look great, my skin is healthy, I have a whole lot of energy, and I'm continuing to eat fruits, veggies, and wild-caught fish.

Oh, by the way, I am continuing to walk on a daily basis and just began ZUMBA DVD's tonight, thanks to my friend Kim for getting them for me. I will walk in the morning and do Zumba in the evening. 

God is so good and I'm happy to share in my testimony of healing with you. Please, please, please, please don't put it off any longer. I was COMPLETELY healed in a matter of a few weeks, after battling an auto-immune disease for 7 years. Trust me, this can be your testimony as well.

I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING, and hope that I'll be writing about your success story soon.

Be blessed. 

MORE Detox Victories

I am still truly in awe of how God works. 


"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. " And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine." Isaiah 55:8 (New Living Translation-NLT)


The way God orchestrates things is truly amazing. We can't possibly fathom what He's doing while we're in the midst of it, but when He's finished and we're blessed...Ah! Truly amazing indeed. This may seem old to y'all because I mention it every time I get the chance but had it not been for my friend Kim that posted my blog on her FB page, and had it not been for her friend April that reached out to me, I would really hate to think how bad off I would be. BUT had God not allowed April to go through her go through, she wouldn't have had the knowledge about the detox to be able to help me; which means that had I not gone through my go through, I definitely wouldn't have had the knowledge to know that God can heal through these natural means. I prayed to God in 2008, asking Him to heal me. But God knew that I needed to be desperate for healing before I would even consider a detox. So my condition had to worsen to the point where I had tried all of the doctors' means, and would be willing to try just about anything.  That's exactly what He did. I didn't understand a bit of anything while in the midst of my storm, but I sure get it now and am so grateful to God for doing things in His time and in His way.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!

I am happy to report that I have MORE DETOX VICTORIES to share...WHOOO HOOO!!!!

• My friend Kim:  Today is only her 6th day and she is experiencing such progress that she's rejoicing already ;-). She has already lost 2 pounds, has lost a half an inch from her waist, and doesn't have the pain in her feet in the morning when she gets out of bed. AND her Skinny Jeans FIT with some extra room. She is ecstatic to say the least.
• My mom:  Today marked my mom's 16th day and I already shared her victory report of 20/20 vision with you a few days ago. Well I saw my mom for the first time in the last week or so and let me tell you! She looks like a little school girl - her face is slimmer, her skin is radiant, her clothes are big, and when my dad comments that she's losing weight, YOU KNOW it's working. She feels good too and has had more energy as well.
• I get inquiries daily about the detox, and more and more people are ordering it daily. There's gonna be a lot of healthy folks walking around feeling great and looking great too.  God desires that we have a prosperous life, as Jesus said in John 10:10b, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (King James) and in the New Living Translation it states, "my purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life".  ***NEWS FLASH*** He doesn't just desire that we prosper financially but in our health as well.

If we allow God to, He will do more than we could think or imagine because His word says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (King James).

God will blow our minds if we have faith and trust that He's working "it" out (whatever it is) for our good, and on our behalf.  He is faithful and able in all things. We have to make sure that we do our part and to yield to His will.  I'm sure all of us have been listening to and watching the news about the shooting massacre in Colorado; a senseless act by a 24 year old male that purchased guns legally and decided to use them in such a heinous way.  I am praying for all of the families (including the shooter's) that were affected in some way, shape, or form by one person's act. However, this may be an example for us to do a little more than that: my husband should be on CNN or HLN because he is always on point about what needs to be done for the greater good in this country. He is a firm believer that we as a people need to, "stand up against the NRA (National Rifle Association) and get rid of them." We hear about crimes with guns multiple times a day and most times the news report that the guns were purchased legally. That's a problem. Maybe guns shouldn't be so easy to access. That's not to say that people won't get them illegally and do horrible things with them, but making them harder to get should help.  I'm not sure how we can take a stand as a people, but something needs to be done.  Change may start with me, or it may start with you but between us, something needs to change. My name is Tyeshia Hilbert and I approve this message.

On that lovely political note, I am off. Being that I took an almost 4 hour nap, I am up so I will catch up on the shows that I slept through. 

Be blessed.

A Doctor's Detox Request

Today was a good day:

• One poop
• No walk (I will get back at it tomorrow)
• Applied my Moroccan Red Clay, followed by 15 minute steam, and Peroxide pat

I went to my gynecologist today for my annual exam and she took one look at me and smiled. The last time she saw me, I was still pre-detox and was bloated and overweight. She said, "I don't think I'll ever get that image of you out of my head...all I could say was 'what happened to my Tyeshia?!"  Today she noted that I looked "amazingly healthy" and wanted me to...LISTEN TO THIS...write down the info of the detox so that she could help her patients to be healed. Huh??? You know that's a good doctor when they aren't worried about the pharmaceutical companies getting theirs, but she's worried about her patients living a healthy, and well-productively full life. Her husband (who's also a doctor) prescribes steroids to patients and she believes that...GET THIS... "people overuse them". So virtually by her suggesting this detox to her patients (and possibly her husband's) it may be taking money out of her husband's pocket because they will undoubtedly no longer have a need for his medications. I wrote down the website and how to search for the full body detox and she was so happy that she smiled, and enthusiastically skipped back into her office.


I also stepped on the scale for the first time since beginning the blood cleanse and the verdict is...DRUM ROLL PLEASE......................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................................................................when I began the blood cleanse I was 147 pounds with my clothes on and right after eating, and today I weighed.........................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................................................a whoppin' 142 pounds. It seems like I've lost so much more weight than 5 pounds, but I have been off of the blood cleanse for 4 days, and y'all already know that I overdid it with the eating my first day. I definitely have lost inches in my back, waist, thighs, and everywhere else for that matter. Now my focus will be on maintaining this weight as I absolutely LOVE the way I look and feel.

I had the idea today to order business cards with my pre-detox body on one side, accompanied with a message along the lines of "12 medications, autoimmune disease, and suffering", and on the back showing a post-detox pic with a message along the lines of "no medications, no suffering, and HEALED!" I would also include the link to my blog, and I was thinking of including my phone number, but now I'm thinking of only including my e-mail address.  I told God that WHEN He healed me, I would tell the world about what He did for me, and I'm trying to reach as many people as I can, and by any means necessary.  If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

I'm happy to report that my fellow detoxers are still going strong and I'm rejoicing with them in advance on their victory.

Well, that's all for now. I hope that everyone has a blessed night, and I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING.

Be blessed.

Phantom Sickness Syndrome...BAH HUMBUG!!!

I've often heard that when someone has had a limb or organ amputated, they go through what's referred to as "amputee phantom limb syndrome", where the person will still feel the sensation of that missing limb or organ. Well I refuse to go through what I'm referring to as "phantom sickness syndrome".

I wrote a little chant today and it goes a lil somethin' like thisss:
boom -  tap -  boom -  tap -  boom -  tap -  boom -  tap -  Don't care what it looks like, don't care how I feel, I know I'm healed, I know I'm healed (say it with me)... don't care what it looks like, don't care how I feel, I know I'm healed, I know I'm healed! Yeahhhhhhh!!!!

What you talkin' about Willis?! This is what I'm talkin' about. I've heard that when people have had a limb amputated, there are times that they will "feel" that it's still there but they can clearly see that it's not, and they know that it's not. Well, my body wants me to believe that I'm not healed because of the development of my rash (which, by the way, is going away...thank You Jesus ;-), and because my hands and chest began to hurt. I stood flat-footed in my dining area and declared, "body in the name of Jesus, I command you to get in line...Satan in the name of Jesus, get thee behind me, I am healed!"  I kid you not, IMMEDIATELY... IMMEDIATELY I tell you, the pain ceased.

We have to be careful about our so-called feelings; they change like the wind and we have to stand on what we know that we know that we know that we know and I KNOW that I'm healed, in Jesus' name. Satan and my body wants me to think that because I overdid it on Monday, that I've reversed the healing that God has given me but the devil is a liar and the truth's not in him. He's been trying to make me feel guilty about that but there is therefore yet no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.  We have to be able to stand firm on The Word, like Jesus did when Satan tempted him. Oh yeah...if Satan was bold enough to tempt our mighty God, what makes us think that he won't do the same to us?!

I thank God for victory! There's some other things that I'm dealing with in my family so I've been a little side tracked - it's in these moments that Satan tries to creep his way in but not so. Thank You Lord.

UPDATES ON FELLOW DETOXERS:

• My mom: She began her 14th day today and is going strong. GET THIS...remember I told you that her eyesight had improved to where she couldn't wear her glasses? Well, the proof is in the pudding...she went to the eye doctor today and they were checking her vision without her glasses. She was able to read all of the letters and the doctor was dumbfounded. He said, "what in the world has happened to your eyes?!" My mom said she just giggled. He then said, "you don't have to wear glasses anymore." IT'S OFFICIAL (even though it was before) but now her doctor has declared that she can see...she can see...praise God, she can see!
• My principal: Well, today would have been her 17th day but after checking on her today, she said that she wasn't doing too well on the detox due to the many distractions and summer events. She said that she will try again.  That's the one thing with the detox: you have to be mentally, emotionally, and physically ready to complete it. 20 days may not seem like a long time in the scheme of things, but in actuality, it takes a lot of will power. So make sure before you commit to it, that you're able to fully commit to it.
• My friend Kim: Today is her 4th day and she's doing well. She's been excitedly experimenting with new things like making her own smoothies, trying different types of waters, and just finding her own way through the detox, and making sure to ask A LOT of questions; like I did and am still doing with April LOL.
• My cousin Ayanna: While she hasn't done the dhealthstore full body detox, she has done other cleanses. Her body feels better but her allergies are still horrendous (which was her reason for trying the detox in the first place). She is going to continue detoxing individual organs so that she can continue to cleanse her body.
• I went to visit my previous infectious disease doctor today just to say hi, and his staff was astonished with the amount of weight that I've lost. One nurse grabbed a pad and pencil and asked me to write down the information for the detox. I started scribbling down the info while telling them all about it. 2 of them have committed to completing the detox and I can't wait to share in their results. As I've mentioned in previous posts, there are so many people inquiring about the detox and I hope that they commit sooner rather than later, as I firmly believe that the longer they wait, the more delayed their healing will be.

Well, that's all for tonight folks. Oh, before I go, here are some anecdotal notes for me today:

• I had 2 morning poops
• I walked 3.2 miles in this 100 degree heat...I thought I was gonna to pass out and that was at 7:30 this morning. It was sweltering out there.
• I stuck to my fruit, my greens, and added some sauteed shrimp and yellow rice.
• My allergies are acting up and that's a problem I haven't had in awhile but I'm not gonna worry about it.

Ok, I pray that everyone has a blessed night and just know that whatever it is that you're going through, God is able in all things, He knows and sees all, and trust that He's working it out on your behalf, "and we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them" Romans 8:28.

Be blessed.

Much Better Today

I am happy to report that I did not repeat the mistakes that I made yesterday, and I'm determined to keep my body in balance as I love the way I look, and more importantly, I love the way I feel, and I don't want to jeopardize that in any way, shape, or form.

I still need to find my way in terms of preparing foods that are tasty and that won't set me back health wise. That is my next assignment.  I've seen great "raw" recipes on line so I'm going to try and incorporate a new dish as often as possible.

Guess what, guess what, guess what?! I went to my first ZUMBA class tonight and let me tell you...it was GREAT yet intense and I loved it! If I could afford to go to a class everyday, I would. I guess I will look into purchasing Zumba DVDs so that I can do them in the comfort of my home, as often as I'd like to do it. Talk about a good sweat? I was exhausted when I left that studio. It was a whole hour of straight working fun. I figure I could walk in the morning and Zumba in the evening.

I received a message today informing me that not one, not two, but THREE MORE PEOPLE just ordered the full body detox and will begin next week. This makes a total of 4 people that I know that are currently detoxing, 5 that I know that have already ordered it and are just waiting to begin, and countless others that have seriously inquired. I hate to think about where I would be right now had I not detoxed. I'm thankful that I don't have to think about it because God orchestrated that to be so. Now I need to focus on not going backwards and doing what is necessary to maintain my healthiness.

Well, that's it for now but I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING.

Be blessed.

Hard Head = Soft Behind

Today is my first official day after the detox and I have made some mistakes that I won't repeat, and I hope that you won't make. But let me go over some anecdotal notes first:

• POOP - I had 2 poops today (yayyyyyy).
• WALK - I walked a total of 3.3 miles today.
• STEAM - I actually had a desire to steam after my walk so I did for 15 minutes and followed it by my Peroxide pat.

Now for my hard-headed news. Growing up, I've always had to learn lessons the hard way and you would think that in my adult years, I would choose to do right first but nope, I'm still choosing to learn lessons the hard way. So let me tell you all about it.  Most of y'all remember me talking about the delicious food that I couldn't wait to eat when the detox was over, well, today I ate it...BIG, BIG, BIG MISTAKE and here's why:

1. My husband and I went to Ruby Tuesday's and I ordered a Tropical fruit punch, followed by a salad with nuts, green peppers, tomatoes, and (here it comes) SHREDDED CHEESE...a BIG NO-NO. Why? Because as April has been getting me to realize, dairy = mucus and mucus = inflammation. You would think that having this knowledge would be enough but nope, it wasn't. So next I ordered buffalo shrimp - my husband said, "Tye, I don't understand. You've been detoxing all this time, trying to release toxins out of your body so why would you eat fried buffalo shrimp when you know it's not good for you?!". My response was, "look, I don't care what you say, I'm eating my buffalo shrimp." BIG MISTAKE - why you ask? Because fried isn't good for you and I can only imagine the sodium and other non-nutritious stuff that was in the buffalo sauce. But then I ordered (yeah, I overdid it BIG TIME) the Salmon Florentine (Salmon with Asparagus and Parmesan cheese) and a baked potato with butter, sour cream, and...yup, more shredded cheese. When I read back over this list, I am shaking my head at myself. This is like self-sabotage ;-(.  Within 5-10 minutes of me eating all of this cheese, I kid you not, I started to snort - which is a sound that comes from my throat and nose where I suck up all of the mucus and then swallow it...nasty right? I have not done this since before I started the detox and prior to the detox, I had done it for years whenever I have eaten tomato or dairy based products. MY KNEE ALSO BEGAN TO HURT PRETTY BADLY...inflammation. That was enough of a wake-up call for me to know that I cannot eat cheese anymore, and also can't eat fried, or spicy foods.
2. Later this evening I had dinner with my God-sister, God-father, and God-mother and ate Brussel sprouts for the first time, brown rice, and vegan ham. I'm like, yes, this is a healthy meal that will erase what I ate earlier...BIG MISTAKE AGAIN. While the food was delicious (my God-sis did her thing), I believe the salt in the vegan ham added with the salt from my hearty meal earlier in the day, was too much and guess what happened next?????? MY FEET BEGAN TO SWELL. I have not had swollen feet since being sick and I certainly don't intend to start now. So what did I do to combat this? WATER, WATER, AND MORE WATER. I am still drinking water as I type. I need to flush out everything that was disagreeable to my balanced body. I am also going to drink my activated charcoal tonight so hopefully a lot of toxins will be released in the morning.

Why oh why oh why would I choose to ingest the foods that I did today? Because I wanted what I wanted and am hard headed. Don't worry, I've learned my lesson and it WON'T happen again. I'm glad that I have made the decision to detox every season but I don't want to reverse everything that I've done over the last 40 days, all because I want to enjoy a dish or two.

Don't get me wrong, I began my day with healthy eating...liquid water, followed by "all natural" orange juice, followed by Naked's Red Machine smoothie (which I learned today really isn't that good for you but it's better than some drinks), herbal tea and pistachios. I now need to continue my good habits and nix the old, unhealthy ones.

My rash hasn't gone anywhere yet, in fact, I took an updated pic. I still feel great, with the exception of swollen feet, knee pain, and snorting due to my own hard-headedness.  The swelling in my feet has actually gone down considerably with all of this water that I'm drinking so I thank God for that.

All of those that are detoxing are experiencing results and are glad that they have jumped on board. A lot of others are still inquiring and I hope that they make the decision to detox as well.

Despite my bad choices today, I thank God for how great I still feel and look, and will make sure that I do everything in my power to continue on this balanced and healthy course.

I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING.

THIS IS IT!!! My last day of detox is here ;-)

Well, well, well, after anticipating this long-awaited day to come, it is here...maintenant...finito...it has arrived!  I will officially be completed with my blood cleanse when I take my activated charcoal tonight, and won't detox again until next season; I'm going to try do the full body detox followed by the blood cleanse (40 total days) every season in order to keep my body free of toxins.

Here are some anecdotal notes for the present and going forward:

• POOP: I had 3 poops today, and I think I figured out why I didn't have any 2 days ago...I made a mistake and took one formula twice, and neglected to take one, which may have disrupted my flow in some way. 
• EXERCISE: I have continued on my exercise track and will continue to walk at least 3 miles daily, and will incorporate other regiments such as Zumba (which I will do this Tuesday) and aerobics.
• STEAM/MASK: I've been slacking on the steaming but will continue to do the Moroccan Red Clay face mask once a week and will follow that with steaming and a Peroxide face pat.
• FOOD: I will continue to incorporate fruits and veggies in my daily diet but will also add wild-caught fish to the mix.  I will also continue to drink spring water, natural fruit juice, fruit smoothies, and herbal tea.
• ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: I will continue to use the activated charcoal at bedtime as it's still a good toxin removal, whether detoxing or not.

Here is an update on my rash:

- Unfortunately, it has gotten bigger BUT it does not look like the typical rashes that I have been accustomed to getting. But I will continue to take pics and update you on its status.  Here are some pics that I took today.

Alright!!! Many of you have been awaiting pics that show my weight loss over the course of my detox. I'm going to include JUST 5 pictures: 

1. the first will be a sideways shot from December 2011 when I was still on steroids as well as 11 other medications.
2. the second will be a frontal shot from December 2011(same date and time as pic #1).
3. the third will be from April 2012 after I was weaned off of steroids and had begun to come off of other medications as well, and had begun dropping some of the weight.
4. the fourth was a pic from today that I took with someone else, but I cropped her out so that you could see a side view of myself. 
5. the fifth will be a full-body shot from today (it's not a close-up but will still be a good comparison).

Here goes nothing...

WOW RIGHT????? My good God...He is indeed able in ALL THINGS. Just looking at these pics is a clear depiction of just how far God has brought me and I give Him all of the honor, the glory, and the praise. TO GOD BE ALL OF THE GLORY!

Ok, enough about me, here are some updates on fellow detoxers:

• My friend Kimberly began the 1st day of her detox (capsules)TODAY and so far so good. 
• My mom began her 11th day (liquid detox) and she was happy to report that she's still not wearing her glasses, that she's had to wear since she was a little girl, in order to see near. She only wears her reading glasses for reading, which she never had to do very often anyway.  She also is happy to report that my father saw her in a dress today and said, "wow, that dress is too big...looks like what you're doing is actually working." For my father to recognize that she's losing weight, it MUST be working. She also has received several compliments about the weight that she's lost. She also walks for at least 30 minutes daily. KUDOS MOM!!!
• My principal began her 14th day (liquid detox) today and I will check on her tomorrow to see what progress she's had since I saw her last Wednesday.
• Several others are inquiring, and a few have actually purchased their detox and are just awaiting the right time (when mentally prepared, after vacation, etc.)

Look...I don't get any money from "advertising" about the full body detox from www.dhealthstore.com. I am just thankful to God that my friend Kim posted my blog on her Facebook page, and that her friend April reached out to me, so that God could bring forth my healing in this way, and now I have been able to share my story with you. My story will continue as God is not through with me yet.  

Here are my plans for the near future:

- I am looking forward to not having to wake up at 7:00am in order to take my first formula.

- I hope to weigh myself tomorrow so that I can clearly see how many pounds I've lost on the blood cleanse because I can tell you that I've gone probably from a size 8 to a size 4; most of my clothing is now too big when just a few months ago, I had the opposite problem.

- I hope to go to my primary care physician and have her to rerun ALL of my bloodwork as I'm still looking for that tangible proof even though how I look and feel is enough.

- I'm eating dinner with my God-sister and God-mother tomorrow, and they are vegetarian/vegan so I can't wait to see what dinner will consist of.

- Before dinner with my family, I am treating my husband to my long-awaited Ruby Tuesday's Salmon Florentine and Shrimp as I've been craving it for awhile.  In fact, I signed up for their "Ruby Connected" and have a coupon for buy one entree and get the other FREE...FREE! Which means, a great meal for 2 for the cost of 1 - I can dig it ;-)

God is great and if He did it for me, He will surely do it for you. You just have to take your 1st step out on faith and believe that God can do it.  I believe that this detox is the first step for many of you out there and I'm willing to pray with you and for you for the strength to make it through. Trust me, I can speak from experience that this was one of the best decisions that I could have made, and you can have the same impact.

I'll continue to post as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING (mine and yours).

Be blessed.

2 days left...it's getting harder and harder

I began the day with a 5 mile walk (my legs are so sore) and then came home, took a shower, did some laundry and did some running around. What I didn't do is Poop; not one poop and that is so not like me. I also didn't steam - it's been getting harder and harder to steam; my neck and back starts to hurt as I'm trying to get comfortable.  Oh my goodness, and the closer I get to Monday, the harder it is getting. I'm not gonna even share just how hard it's actually getting as I'm gonna try and focus on the fact that I'm still being disciplined and still have the victory ;-)

Yes, the rash is still there. It doesn't itch as much as yesterday and it hasn't enlarged. I took more pics just to compare from yesterday to today. I will continue to take pics until it disappears.

It will pass soon

God is so faithful and I'm going to end tonight's post on that note.

Be blessed.

A Rash Has Surfaced...now the TRUE test begins

Well, well, well, today was a pretty decent detox day - I had 2 morning poops, took all of my formulas, walked 4.3 miles and this is where the trouble began. Everyone who truly knows me knows that I love to be in nature; I love to explore nature trails and just observe all of God's wonder. Sometimes this habit is my worst enemy. While I walked literally a few steps into a wooded area, I felt myself being bitten over and over again, and so I high-tailed it outta there...unfortunately, it was too late. I now have a red bump on my left ankle, which probably wouldn't seem like a big deal to anyone else but for me, this has always been how my autoimmune disease...I'm sorry, I'm NOT CLAIMING IT AS MINE ANYMORE so I will say that this is how the sickness would begin. It begins as what appears to be a mosquito bite, itches like one too, but continues to grow and grow, is accompanied by swelling and eventually joint pain. God has brought me too far for me to even begin to think that this is going to be the same outcome. However, I took 2 pics of the rash so that you can see the size and location, and I'm going to continue to chart it everyday and see what happens. I am of the mindset that this rash is just going to take its course like a regular mosquito bite and go away. This will be my true test of healing and WHEN I ONCE AGAIN PROVE TO BE COMPLETELY HEALED, I will show you the spot where the rash USED to be, and will proclaim my healing the more.

This too shall pass...

• On a better note, my friend Kim received her full body detox (capsules) today and will begin her detox journey this Sunday. I can't wait to see and hear all about her results.
• My mom is continuing on her detox journey (liquid) and today marks her 8th day BUT she just texted me and stated that she needs to order the capsules; the capsules are more potent and show better results.
• My principal is continuing to go strong on her detox journey (liquid) as well, and today marks her 11th day.
• My God-mother didn't receive the e-mail that I sent her directly from the www.dhealthstore.com website, but I texted her the site and how to view the details of the detox. Her, my God-father, younger God-sister, and God-aunt will begin as a family.
• My cousin and her family (a family of 6) is continuing to eat raw fruits and veggies and will begin a liquid juicing fast (I believe I have that info right) soon. 
• There are still countless others that have been asking me about the detox and I know that there is a lot more healing in store.

Today marks my 37th total day detoxing and let me tell you, I am almost finished and am so glad about it. Just wait until Monday...ooh I can't wait!  I will tell you all about my good eatin'.

Well folks, that's about it. I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH HEALING; mine and the accounts of others.

Be blessed.

Not just HEARING but SEEING results...4 days left

I can't believe that I only have 4 days left of my blood cleanse and I am so glad about it.  God has not only allowed me to HEAR about others' progress due to either detoxing themselves or hearing about the detox, but allowed me to SEE it with my own eyes. Here are some updates:

• I went to my school (job) today to visit my principal and secretaries. My principal began her 11th day of detox today and the outfit that she was wearing was hanging off of her. Her face is thinner and she LOOKED more vibrant. She is doing the liquid detox but has begun to see results and so can I.
• My secretaries made me come around to their desk, pulled my shirt in tightly so that they could SEE my figure, and was amazed at how much more weight I've lost since they last saw me on June 21st and are inquiring about the detox themselves.
• Today was one of our God-daughter's 7th birthday and we went over to visit the family. They were making fruit smoothies and eating raw veggies. The entire family (which is a family of 6) have begun a lifestyle of eating raw fruits and veggies, and are taking a united stand on eating healthier as a unit.  My cousin has been following my blog, as well as doing her own research on how to incorporate raw fruits and veggies into their daily routine. I can't wait to celebrate their success as a family.
• This same family that was mentioned in the last bullet last saw me a few months ago when I was still rather chunky and "drugged" up on pharmaceutical drugs. When I tell you that my God-daughter, her 3 sisters, and her father (my cousin) barely recognized me because my figure was so distorted, that's what I mean. When they saw me today, it was like old times...they commented that this was the Tyeshia that they remembered, told me how great I looked, and asked me about the detox and how much energy I had.  I assured them that I felt better now then I've EVER felt and that I am energized from the moment that I wake up until I decide to turn in for the night.

I still have some family and friends that are suffering from chronic illnesses and are willing to do the detox, but are not sure if they're able to. One of my cousins just received a report from a test result and now has to have an endoscopy done. She was so frustrated that she wouldn't be able to begin the detox until July 24th and I couldn't help but to think, "why can't she begin now?" I see this as a direct infiltration of her healing and am praying that she will begin the detox sooner rather than later.

I spoke with another cousin yesterday that has been suffering in her body for the last 8 years, is on googobs of medication, and is in so much pain that it's literally unbearable at times...sound familiar? Everything that I was explaining about my sickness since 2005, she could relate to. She is so eager to detox but believes that she can't stop taking her medications cold-turkey because she has been taking them for the last 2 years, they are narcotics, and the last time she stopped taking drugs cold-turkey, her body almost went into shock. I asked her to e-mail me a list of drugs that she's currently on and how long she's been on them, along with a synopsis of what she's been experiencing over the last 8 years, so that I can send it to April in order to see what she thinks is her best course of action.  She also has done chemotherapy in the past for a duration of 5 years (this was about 2 years ago) and I'm not sure if under her circumstances detoxing will be the best option. I believe that God WILL heal her but want to direct her on a path that will most benefit her situation.

One of my secretaries is also enthused about the idea of being able to detox but is on a medication by the name of Lupron (I'm not sure of the spelling), and doesn't think that she can come off of it due to her condition. I explained to her that I came off of ALL  of my medications despite my symptoms and did the detox, and she can see that it was one of the best decisions that I could have made.

Look, I know the fear that wells up when you consider going against all of the doctors and stepping out in a direction that you've never, ever considered before. When I took my step-of-faith on the 3rd Sunday in December, and my leap of faith on May 30th, this was the beginning of my healthy and healed living and I am so thankful that I did. Imagine if I had given into my fear? You wouldn't be reading this blog today, and I wouldn't be healed. GOD DID IT FOR ME AND HE'S THE SAME POWERFUL GOD THAT IS WILLING AND ABLE TO DO IT FOR YOU. STEP OUT ON FAITH AND BEGIN LIVING THE HEALTHY AND HEALED FULL LIFE THAT GOD DESIRES YOU TO LIVE.

Be blessed.

GREAT UPDATES...5 days and counting

Whoo, "my God is so good, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do...for you" - this Sunday School song just rang through my head. I am truly in awe about what God has been doing and is doing through the full body detox. I can't wait to tell you all about it but first thing's first:

Anecdotal Notes:

• POOP - yup, twice this morning
• FORMULAS - all taken timely
• WALK - 1 hour and 4 minutes, 4.1 miles AND I was able to run a little today
• STEAM - yup, for 15 minutes along with my Moroccan Red Clay face mask, and peroxide pat

I'm not even going to tell you that I went out to eat yet again (didn't I ask y'all to remind me NEVER, EVER, EVER to do that while detoxing?) and ordered yet another house salad, WHICH DID NOT INDICATE CHEESE ON THE MENU. Why didn't I ask? When it came out it was full of shredded cheese so again, there goes me, scraping all of that cheese off to the side. SMH (shaking my head) at myself.

NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF - UPDATES ON FELLOW DETOXERS

• My mom - Today is her 6th day detoxing and this is how our conversation went...

MOM: "Tye, did the detox do something to your eyes?" 

ME:     "Yes, I told you it allowed me to begin seeing colors again...on day 4".

MOM:  "Well, when I look through my glasses, my vision is blurry and I have to take them off in order to  

               see. 

ME:      "Well, what do you think that means? I told you that April no longer wears glasses because the 

              detox helped to perfect her vision."

MOM:  "I had to take my glasses off in order to drive home because I can see clearly without them and my 

              vision is blurry with them.

ME:       "Praise God! It seems like the detox is allowing your vision to be clear...it's only day 6!"

MY MOM'S VISION HAS BEEN PERFECTED 

AND IT'S ONLY DAY 6!!!!!!!

• My God-mom - I went to visit my God-mother today and was able to see my God-father, my little God-sister, God-aunt , God-uncle and God-grandmother (my God-family).  My God-mother took one look at me and commented on how much weight I've lost. I began to tell them all about my journey since 2005 (my God-mom has been following my blog) and how God used the detox to bring about my healing. My God-aunt asked if I was going to e-mail them the information about the detox and get this, not only is she going to detox, but my God-mom, God-dad, and God-sister are going to detox as well...they are making it a FAMILY THANG! I can't wait to see the results.

Several are inquiring, more are trying, and I can't wait to celebrate in the progress that all will see through this full body detox. It's amazing what God is yet doing!

Please, please, please if you know of anyone that is struggling with Lupus, Diverticulitis, Sarcoidosis, or any other auto-immune or other disease, please ask them to visit www.dhealthstore.com, in the search box to type full body detox, press enter, and scroll down until they find full body detox.  It's not a cure but it will help to bring the body back into balance. You can also direct them to my blog and ask them to follow my story if they're having a hard time believing that this is possible. WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

GOD IS GOOD!

I'll continue to keep you posted as I continue to JOURNAL THROUGH MY HEALING, and the healing of others.

Be blessed.

6 more days and counting

Well I'm blogging early tonight as I want to begin going to bed a little earlier. Here are some anecdotal notes, and I'm proud to say that I accomplished all that I wanted to on today, despite a slight, incy wincy teeny weeny slip up...well almost, but we'll get to that later:

• FORMULAS - I took all of my formulas timely
• POOP - Only one poop today
• WALK - I walked for 1 hour and 4 minutes, and 3.89 miles WHOO HOO. I was informed that I ran more than a 5K today (thanks Sharon for the insight ;-)
• STEAM - Yup, for 15 minutes

Please remind me that when I'm detoxing NEVER, EVER, EVER to go to a restaurant...I almost slipped up y'all (well not really). My husband and I had a gift card to Applebee's so we decided to use it today (I figured my husband isn't detoxing so he shouldn't suffer just because I am..BIG mistake).  So we sit down and I look at the menu. OMG all of the delicious looking food that sprang before me. I ask for an herbal tea, and of course they didn't have any (or so the guy said but it turned out that they did so I ordered one a little later). So I order an apple juice. Making a very long story short, I decided to order a house salad, as there wasn't much that I could order during the detox. Of course my husband orders a Sirloin steak, smothered in onions, with mashed potatoes AND a mouth-watering slice of apple pie covered in vanilla ice cream. Hungry yet? This wasn't my dilemma. My dilemma was from the salad that I ordered. Now, the waiter asked if I wanted bacon on it and I answered no, but he failed to mention all of the other stuff that comes along with it (I guess that's my bad for not asking what comes on their house salad). Anyway, my salad arrives and is covered with shredded cheese (which I love, love, love), croutons (another one of my favorites), and more cheese and more croutons. God has allowed me to be disciplined throughout this process and I wasn't about to mess up now. But here was my dilemma; instead of asking for another salad without all of my favorites (which is what I should have done), I tried to eat around all of that yummy stuff. You should have seen me scraping off the cheese, and placing the croutons around my plate. I said to my husband, "I'm glad I'm disciplined because this entire salad would be gone." He just looked at me and laughed as he devoured his meal with a smile...a bright Kool-Aid smile at that.  Oh well, I thank God for victory and next Monday, I have already scheduled lunch with my Boo-Boo at Ruby Tuesday where we can both be all smiles. Don't worry, I will still be eating my share of fruits and veggies but will incorporate a wild-caught fish. 


FELLOW DETOXER REPORTS

• I'm happy to report that my mom is seeing results with the liquid detox. She has begun adding actual salad to her diet along with juicing and is pooping more, instead of just urinating. AND her neighbor commented on the fact that she's lost some weight. AND my mom was able to fit into some shorts that have been tucked away in a drawer for 2 years AND had some room. Today marks her 5th day.
• My principal has also begun to see some results with the liquid detox - she also has shed a few pounds. She also has been urinating a lot and not defecating as much. I told her that maybe it wouldn't hurt to call dhealthstore just to inquire on whether urinating as opposed to defecating is the norm on the liquid detox. Today marks her 8th day.
• My cousin has completed a full body cleanse (not from dhealhstore), and is currently on a liver cleanse (also not from dhealthstore). She began the detox in the hopes that her environmental allergies would improve and although they have not, she has stated that her overall body feels better.
• There are many others that have ordered the detox and are either awaiting its arrival, or awaiting to begin. I will keep you updated on their progress when I find out.
• There are also many that have inquired about the dhealthstore brand of detox so I'll keep you posted on their status as well.

Well, that's all for tonight. I can not tell you how excited I am to be this close to the end, and I thank God for how great I continue to feel and look.  

I'll continue to keep you posted as continue to JOURNAL THROUGH MY HEALING.

Be blessed.

7 more days...7 more days

Whoo! I can just taste my salmon, shrimp and baked potato now. These cravings are fast and furious but I will see this through until the end; I'm feeling too good not to.  I am extremely tired so this post will be brief.

Anecdotal Notes:

• Formulas taken timely...CHECK
• Poops...CHECK...3 to be exact
• Walk...CHECK...28 minutes and 1.3 miles
• Steam...UNCHECK...will do tomorrow

Fellow Detoxer updates:

• I have another friend that ordered her full body detox (capsules) today...WHOO HOOO!
• I gave the website to 2 others today, and they are seriously considering it.
• My mom is beginning to see some results with her liquid detox so she's gonna hold off on calling and complaining (inquiring) just yet.

God is yet good!

I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH MY HEALING...I'm sheepy.

Be blessed.

8 more days and counting

Good evening all, well today was my 12th day and you don't know just how bad I'm ready for it to be over. I have seen some great benefits from it but I am truly detoxed out...until next season of course. I believe I will  incorporate detoxing into my seasonal routine - the full body detox followed by the blood cleanse.

I still feel amazing, I'm still getting compliments on how amazing I look, and I serve an AMAZING GOD! What more could a girl ask for?! Oh, the icing on the cake is that I have an amazing husband that has been supportive of me from the beginning, and has truly lived up to his, "for better or worse, in sickness and in health...", and I have amazing family and friends that have kept us in prayer throughout. I give all glory to God and God alone.

Well, today I wasn't able to do all of my detox duties but here are some anecdotal notes:

• All medications taken timely
• Continued raw fruit and veggie intake
• DID NOT steam today
• DID NOT walk
• I still have a slight headache, but not as bad as the last 2 days
• My nose was running a little this evening but not like the last 2 days

We buried my cousin today and though there were some emotional moments, I thank God that she was celebrated in style. I know that I will see her again and I'm glad that she's not suffering anymore. 

UPDATES ON FELLOW DETOXERS:

• Today is my mom's 3rd day on her liquid detox and she doesn't believe she is experiencing the same toxin release as I am - she is urinating a lot but not pooping nearly as much as I did. I'm not familiar with the liquid detox but told her that maybe everyone's body cooperates differently. She's going to see what tomorrow brings and if she doesn't feel like toxins are being released, she's going to call dhealthstore just to inquire.
• My principal began her 6th day today on the liquid detox and she has similar concerns to that of my mom. I haven't spoken to her since her 4th day, but I will reach out to her on Monday to see if she's seeing any progress (weight loss, clearing of the skin, mood swings, etc.)
• I gave another cousin the website today and she is going to look into it.
• A lady that I know with Crohn's Disease is looking into the option of detoxing as well.

I can't promise anything through the detox, but I'm confident that God will allow whatever healing and balance that is necessary, to take place as He allowed with me.

Although it's very late, I thank God that He gave me the strength to do all that I needed to do on today, AND that I was able to take a nap. I didn't do everything that I wanted to do like attend a Sweet 16 and a play, but I know that those hosting these events understand and know that they have our full support even though our presence was missed.

Well, on these lovely notes, I am turning in. I just got finished drinking my activated charcoal and it's off to bed I go...it's off to bed I go...high-ho the dairy-o, it's off to bed I go...YUP, I'm tired.  I will continue to keep you posted as I JOURNAL THROUGH MY HEALING. 

Be blessed.

9 days left and counting

My official countdown begins today and I have 9 more days left. Whooo! I have already planned my meal for the 16th (this whole time I thought it was the 15th but my little bubble just popped when I realized that my last detox day is the 15th). I'm treating my husband (with my allowance of course) to Ruby Tuesday's as I have a coupon for buy one entree and get the 2nd 50% off; and I will be ordering the Salmon Florentine, with a baked potato, broccoli and buffalo shrimp - of course, of course, of course, I will begin this feast with a nice, hefty, leafy, green salad.  After 31 days of detoxing and eating mainly raw fruits, raw veggies, raw nuts, and distilled water, a sista' is ready for something a little different.

I have some updates on anecdotal notes:

• I began my day with a 40 minute, 2.3 mile walk and it felt so good.
• I had 4 poops today - I'm not sure if it was the morning walk that got my bowels flowing but something did.
• I completed my 15 minute steaming followed by the peroxide pat.
• I've been having a headache for 2 days and I'm really not sure what's contributing to this...
• I've also been experiencing a runny nose and cough for a few days, but I'm figuring this is a sign of toxins being released.

NEWS FLASH...NEWS FLASH...NEWS FLASH...NEWS FLASH...NEWS FLASH...

I was scheduled to go to Philly today to the rheumatologist. You know, the one that had me come in for "the conference" where 60 or more doctors looked me over, read my history, and then were going to put their brilliant minds together in order to figure me out...only to come back and tell me I was a mystery but they had, and I quote, "a regiment of medications for me to begin taking"? Yeah...that one. Well, I called their answering service on the 4th to cancel and my message went a little something like this..."My name is Tyeshia Hilbert and I am cancelling my appointment because I am healed in the name of Jesus, and am no longer in need of these services." I was so hoping that I would get a phone call back so I could really witness to someone but nahhh, didn't happen.

*********************************************************************************

I thank God that I recognize what He's donnnnnnnnnne, for me, and my soul cries out Hallelujer, I thank God for saving me (in my Madea voice). But seriously, God is so good. The scripture just came to my mind, "to whom much is given, much is required", and I like the "Message Bible's" interpretation of this verse which says, "great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!" (Luke 12:48).  God has instilled great gifts in me and has given me even greater gifts, such as the gift of salvation and healing, and I know that He is requiring much of me and I want to be found doing exactly what He's expecting me to do.

With this being said, I am asking for your continued prayers as I continue to seek God's face, continue to have the faith that the work that He started He will complete, and the discipline to hearken unto His voice and do what He's calling me to do. 

I will continue to keep you posted as I continue to JOURNAL THROUGH MY HEALING.

Be blessed.

Halfway Mark

Well today is my 10th day...10 days down, 10 more to go. Today I accomplished all that needed to be accomplished as far as the detox is concerned: I had 2 morning poops, I took all of my herbal detox capsules, I ate fruits and veggies throughout, drank only water and natural cranberry juice, I steamed for 15 minutes, followed it with a peroxide pat, AND walked for about 45 minutes IN THE HEAT. I walked yesterday too but forgot to include it in my post. I'm going to try and walk daily as my body feels so much better when I do.

Everybody that knows me knows that I feel great and I thank God that hasn't changed. But I am noticing that I have been more tired lately so I'm definitely going to try and incorporate daily naps or at least go to bed earlier.

UPDATES ON OTHERS DETOXING

• My principal accomplished her 4th day today.
• My mom successfully completed her 1st day.
• More and more are inquiring about the detox.

Well, that's about all.  I'll continue to post as I JOURNAL THROUGH MY HEALING.

Be blessed.

Almost Halfway There

Happy 4th of July to everyone. I have been missing in action due to death in the family, but I'm back and happy to report that days 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 have been successful. I just got back to the Moroccan Red Clay, steaming, and peroxide pat today but it's better late than never.  When I was with my parents, my mom made me different fruit smoothies daily and let me tell you, my body thanked me. Now that I'm back home, I haven't been doing it and I can tell the difference. So sometime soon (like tomorrow) I'm going to make the time to blend some fruit in my smoothie maker and drink it throughout the day. The next step will be to juice some veggies - the goal will be to drink fruit smoothies in the morning and veggie juice in the afternoon/evening.

Today was such a challenge - my husband and I went to 3 cookouts and when I tell you the food looked good...the food looked good. Everyone had BBQ ribs, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, hamburgers and hot dogs, with a selection of potato salad, macaroni salad and so many other scrumptious delights. BUT I THANK GOD FOR DISCIPLINE. I recognize that me turning down this "good eating" is for the benefit of my health and well-being and I had to explain this to many, as they were wondering why I was eating fruit or raw and unsalted nuts instead of the spread that was spread. GOD IS SO GOOD and I feel so good.

I also have some more praise reports that I am thoroughly excited about ;-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

• My principal began her liquid detox on Monday and is doing good so far.
• My mom's liquid detox arrived in the mail and she will begin TOMORROW.
• My cousin's detox (capsules) arrived in the mail and she will begin TOMORROW.
• My cousin's cousin has been inquiring about the detox, and is interested in learning more.
• Several people have been asking questions about how the detox works, what you can eat, and I have provided them with the website so that they can read all about it for themselves.

I told God that WHEN HE HEALED ME, I would proclaim to the world that it was HIM AND ONLY HIM that healed me, and I'm going to use whatever means necessary to do just that; Facebook, text messages, e-mail, blog posts, telephone, word-of-mouth; you name it I'm going to do it. I understand the magnitude of my healing and I understand how the doctors' deemed me as a mystery with many medications as their solution, BUT GOD...(whoooo thank You Jesus)...but God chose to use this detox to bring about my healing.  I'm not that special...if He did it for Me, He CAN and WILL do it for you; you just have to have faith, believe, and trust that He CAN and WILL do it.

On that 3rd Sunday in December when I was sitting in church with my body writhing in pain, unable to clap my hands, stand up straight for long periods of time, stomp my feet, and couldn't move without being in pain, it was at this painful moment that I heard the voice of the Lord so clearly say, "If you want your healing...stand up." I questioned this at first because in my flesh, I knew it was almost impossible, but then I realized (thank You Jesus) that this was a test of my faith, and I needed to literally take a step out on faith and trust God. The moment I stood up, I was able to stand for the duration of the service, clap my hands and stomp my feet WITHOUT ANY PAIN, and felt good for the remainder of the day. Now the next day was a different story but I believe it was that step of faith that showed God that I WOULD trust Him and that He COULD heal me. Who knew that 6 months later, I would be COMPLETELY HEALED and telling others about this miraculous feat that God did for me.

To God be ALL the glory.
