My Journey to Health

My Journey To Health

For the past five years I have been searching the internet, making phone calls, and writing letters trying to locate friends and classmates from my past. When i find one, I always inquire whether they know how to locate others. I am finding that the majority of them have died, some at a very young age.

When I think of my family; my father suffered long and died at age forty eight, my mother was disabled for many years and died while in her sixties, my brother died in the war at age ninteen, my oldest sister died at age thirty and my youngest sister died last year. I am the lone survivor. I could write several stories of relatives and in-laws who started out with large families and are now down to one or two with many dying at early ages.

God has blessed me with good health. That was not always the case. At age nineteen I came down with a disease that until today, doctors can not identify. I made a promise to God; that if He spared my life that I would be a blessing to others. I did not keep the promise.

I have come to the conclusion that God needs healthy bodies in order to fulfill the work of the kingdom. I have founded a company and sought out products that I use to stay well. I also believe that it is God’s will that I be a blessing, through my example to others.

There is a saying that what you don’t know wont hurt you. I have learned that what you don’t know can and will kill you. I will spend my time and money trying to educate people about how they can live a full healthy life... the natural way.
