kat- you probably restrained yourself with a reply to some of these posts.
me too
you have no idea.
I like the road trip to Lily Dale suggestion. Cully...I commend you for your open mind and the realization that what we can only see with our eyes or understand with our brains is NOT the cut and dried version of "life".
There are some here that won't believe me and I don't care...there's enough documentation to prove what I am about to say, and even then, I don't care...but in 2001 I was told I had "one good year and one bad year left". That I was going to die from the amount of damage that the TA had done to my aorta, the vertebral and carotid arteries. I was almost blind. I could not sleep lying down. I had black outs, fall over, faint from lack of circulation of blood. I was on experimental chemotherapy to kill my immune system. When that failed, my immunologist, cardiologist, internist, oncologist and neurologist all said...let's stop this. They took me off chemo and said...enjoy this next year...please. This is important...my SED rate (Cully, you should know what this is) was off the charts...over 100 is what they said.
That was on a Monday, April 9, 2001. 5 years from the open heart surgery that replaced my aortic valve that my own immune system destroyed. On Thursday, April 12, 2001...I was helping at Bethel Church as an evangelist by the name of Randy Clark was going to be there. I went up for prayer. Before anyone even touched me, I was on the floor. Katherine Mason, a NP at Strong was there...she documented the event. I was out cold for 4 hours....my body temperature was about 104...and was radiating enough heat that the people around me were sweating. When I woke up, I smelled flowers and oranges (this, is my Mom. She passed in November of 1995). The first thing I noticed was that there was no pain in my chest....and that i was lying flat and breathing. Then Katherine sat me up. She pulled out a pen and checked my vision...and it was getting better as we sat there. I went from a pinpoint view with no color to FULL VISION in a matter of seconds. Katherine had her fingers on my carotids. Two days before...there was no pulse there. People were crying...as she reported that the blood flow had started again..there was a very strong pulse.
On Friday, April 13th, 2001...I gave this "testimony" to the people that were in attendance at the conference. Along with the information that I had gone, at Randy's request, to get another blood test for the SED rate that morning.
On Monday, April 16th, 2001...i got a phone call from my doctor to go and have my bloodwork redone because he got a "false" reading. Something went wrong with the test. I asked what the SED rate was. He said it was "5". Said it was impossible for a SED rate to go from over 100 to 5 in less than a week. I went in for another blood test.
On Tuesday, April 17th, 2001...i got another phone call from my doctor requesting that I go to the hospital to have the bloodwork done. The SED rate came back "2". That's what babies have as a SED rate. It's pretty close to brand new blood.
On Wednesday, April 18th, 2001...i went into the hospital for some other tests. All of them showed that not only had the TA stopped it's progression...some of the areas that were destroyed were actually reversing their condition.
For the next 4 years...I traveled to Russia, the Ukraine, Brazil and many places here in the US and spoke to thousands about what is medically documented as a MIRACLE.
To this date...I am in "remission" from TA (because people, doctors, are afraid to admit anything else). Liam, my son, is a miracle as well. But that...is another story.
Thanks for listening. When are we going to Lily Dale??
