There is no such thing as lyme dis-ease it is another word the doctors have given a detox symtom. All illness & dis-ease is just detoxification. When a person experiences a negative condition and goes to a doctor and the doctor gives this symtom a name and the patient excepts it they manifest that condition in their bodies. We are co-creators with God nothing can enter our bodies unless we invite it in. Realize the expansion of Light at this time on this Planet is causing mankind to release all our negative experiences of the past and human beliefs. We are releasing things that even effected our Ancestors – the only thing you can do is keep the diet as pure as possible & colonics are Gods miracle healers and Pray to be released from the condition. Don’t fight it you will give it power it is just a thought form – take the mind off the body and put it on God and you withdraw all Power you have given the thought form.

Only one creator, pretty arrogant statement to say we are co-creators with God. We do suffer illness secondary to sinful lives, but even good people develop sickness, sometimes because of “toxins” we are exposed to, not necessarily invited.

I have a very close friend with Lyme’s and is trying to get over it now. She is doing all kinds of herb therapy and had all her mercury fillings removed from a special dentist. The fillings are really toxic and damage your immune system so that can help you heal. So far, she is still not very good.

Please! Do not encourage circumcision! Should we also stone women to death and other recommendations that are in the Old Testament? As a Christian I do not believe its necessary and if you ever witness it being done to a newborn you would change your mind! I don’t believe God requires little babies to suffer this pain, perhaps in OT times along with other things like sacrificing lambs and baby goats these things were necessary but unless you are following ALL the recommendations in the OT please don’t let people think they must cause unnecessary suffering to their little ones.

Paul I love you but I have to disagree with you on the circumcision issue. I think that when we circumcise our babies we are basically saying that God (or for the non believers ‘Nature’) has made a mistake. The Bible says that God pronounced creation ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31) and that humans were made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). The Apostle Paul also said that God made every part of the body as he wanted it. (1 Corinthians 12:18). Then why circumcise?
According to Genesis, God told Abraham to circumcise himself, his household and his slaves as an everlasting covenant in their flesh. Those who were not circumcised were to be ‘cut off’ from their people (Genesis 17:10-14). Note the connection between circumcision and slavery. It is alluded to in the New Testament.
Abraham, his descendants and those who were bought with their money (Genesis 17:12-13). Also, all the males of a household were to be circumcised if one of them wanted to join in the Passover celebrations (Exodus 12:43-49).
However, there is a puzzle. Laws commanding circumcision are said to come through Moses (e.g. Leviticus 12), but the Children of Israel abandoned circumcision during Moses’ leadership (Joshua 5: 4-7). Exodus 4: 24-26 tells us that Moses had not circumcised his own son???
If God created men with foreskin he must have done so for a reason right? Why remove it?

((when we circumcise our babies we are basically saying that God (or for the non believers ‘Nature’) has made a mistake. The Bible says that God pronounced creation ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31) and that humans were made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). ))
Maybe you should reread the account of the giving of the commandment of circumcision. If it wouldseem like saying it was a mistake, then why did YWHW say to remove it.
(Note the connection between circumcision and slavery.)
There is no connection other than slaves were part of those required to have this done. Its not saying that if one does this they are in slavery or a slave.
((but the Children of Israel abandoned circumcision during Moses’ leadership (Joshua 5: 4-7). ))
Another passage you need to reread. You started in verse 4. go back and read verse 2 and 3
Jos 5:2 At that time YHWH said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
notice the phrase “the second time” and “at the hill of the FORSKIN” they did not forsake the commandment of circumcision. if they did then why did It say “a second time and at the hill of” BY the way the commandment of circumcision was not given thru Moses FIRST but Abraham. Moses just reminded them when and how it should be done.
And could the reason that Moses didnt circumcise his son be because he was raised as an egyptian? Thats not to say that he didnt know but maybe he didnt think of it. have you ever forgot something??
((If God created men with foreskin he must have done so for a reason right? Why remove it?))
Yes, there must have been a reason. And just maybe that reason might have been for it to be remove when a man choses to follow YHWH? Otherwise He would not have commanded it to be done. Why remove it?? well because YHWH told us to. What other reason do you need not to. any reason would be disobedience.

Enrique,
you said ” we are basically saying that God (or for the non believers ‘Nature’) has made a mistake. The Bible says that God pronounced creation ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31) and that humans were made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27)”
If that is true, that we tell YHWH that He made a mistake, then why did He instruct us to do it in the first place? telling Him that He made a mistake would be like wearing make-up, shaving, dyeing your hair, having plastic surgery, ect.. all of which are ways people alter their apearance, but cutting something that He told men to cut does not say that.
you mentioned, (( Note the connection between circumcision and slavery.))
other than a slave being one of those required to be circumcised there is no connection. and if your tring to connect circumcision as being in bondage then your wrong. If it was bondage then why was it given. YHWH’s commandments dont put people in bondage, people put people in bondage.
you mentioned ((Laws commanding circumcision are said to come through Moses (e.g. Leviticus 12),))
Mose did RESTATE the commandment. but he was not the one by whom it first came thru. that was Abraham. Gen.17:9-14
and then you said((
“but the Children of Israel abandoned circumcision during Moses’ leadership (Joshua 5: 4-7). ” ))
Maybe you need to reread that chapter. mainly verse 2 and 3. it says
Jos 5:2 At that time YHWH said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Did you notice the phrase ” A SECOND TIME” AND AT THE HILL OF THE FORSKIN” ?
If they abandoned the commandment of circumcison then why was this said to have already been done before ” a second time, and at the forskin? if they had abandoned circumcision during Moses learership it would have mentioned it somewher between Ex. and Deut.
And could the reason that Moses not having circumcised his own son be because he had been raised an egyptian? not saying that is why but It may have been that he might not have thought of it. Have you ever forgot anything?
then you stated, ((If God created men with foreskin he must have done so for a reason right? Why remove it?))
Yes there must have been a reason for men haveing forskin. And it just may have been for it to be removed by those who have chosen to follow after YHWH. If not then why did HE say to remove it.
And “Why remove it” well that is easy to understand. Because YHWH said so. any other reason NOT to is disobedience.

Thanks for clarifying my mistakes. OK so NOT being circumcized a salvation issue then? All catholics will not be saved because they don’t circumcize. Got it. Thanks.

reply: Hello Bro. Paul,
A Christian Doctor from the Philippines informed us in the Church, that it is a lot better for a baby to be circumcise on the 8th day, because the baby will not bleed as much, coz the blood clots so much on the 8th day, and the Vit. K is at its peak to protect the baby, and increases the baby’s immunity from infection, and will lessen the pain due to blood clot. Again, God did not gave us the reason why it should be on the 8th day, but science has proven it again that the Bible is correct that the 8th day of infancy is the best time to circumcise.
In the Philippines, it is our culture to circumcise the male when they reach 16-18 years old, the belief is, that it will help the boy to grow taller (Filipino people are short), it will help them in their character development, hormonal change (to be masculine, and not feminine), beginning of their manhood. We do this because we do not know what the Bible instructed us to do.

Hi Paul,
Well, I have to say I disagree with you on your beliefs being your opinion. I know it’s not very popular to say it this way, but God is God whether someone chooses to believe it or not. Just like someone can choose not to believe in gravity. You can choose to believe it doesn’t exist but you’d be wrong. And I know that isn’t an easy message to deliver. God is the Creator so it doesn’t really matter what culture you come from. People get too wrapped up in that. I’m a Jew, I’m a woman, I’m black or whatever…who cares?! When you know God, first and foremost you are His. That’s your culture! That’s your identity before anything else. People use all that worldly identity as an excuse to not know God. If we are God’s we understand this is but a temporary home. We are but sojourners here, so I disagree with you in saying that it’s your opinion. Sorry but God is the Creator of the heavens, the earth, the sea and all that in them is. Period. I understand that people think and may believe that there are other religions and belief systems but there are only two sides in this war that is being waged for every soul. And one is God’s side, everything else is of satan…no matter how beautiful it may appear. God is not respecter of men. He wants Hindus and Japanese, and Greek, and Russian and EVERYBODY! And you are right, in the book of Revelation it says that all will have the opportunity to receive the Truth-every nation, kindred and tongue. And we now live in an age that that is possible with satelite and internet. And I believe where the missionaries can not go because it is too hostile for them to go (Iaushua commanded that we go and baptize all the nations)that God will put it in their hearts, those willing to receive it and live up to the light they’ve been given. And when it comes to God, truth is not relative, it doesn’t depend on this or that. His Truth is absolute. That’s why it’s sharper than any two edged sword. We don’t filter God through our opinions (or we are not to)or through our cultures and our points of view – No we filter our lives through the blood of Iaushua.

Oh and after being so long winded I’m writing to tell you I disagree with you about circumcision. In the Scriptures Old and New Testaments, the real goal was that the hearts would be circumcized. And what is most important is the circumcision without hands…meaning the spiritual circumcision of the heart is much more meaningful than an outward sign. However, having said that I believe there are also health principals to circumcision and that it is a valid practice. Again I disagree with having to have a Rabbi do it. Some of them do some very questionable practices that are not Scriptural at all and that is my only guideline (as opposed to writings of traditional laws added to Yahweh’s law of the Rabbinic, Talmudic Orthodoxy origins). Anyway, if I had a son, I would personally have him circumcized but not ritualistically, but then I would absolutely dedicate him to Yahweh and bring him up in His ways. This, I truly believe is what God is looking for.

I had lyme disease about 9 years ago when I lived in North Carolina. I had just gotten back from a trip up to Pennsylvania (where there are lots of dear, and hence lyme ticks) and came down with high fever, extreme lethargy, and swollen lymph nodes in my groin area. I didn’t know at first what was wrong with me, but then my husband spotted the telltale sign of a lyme tick bite: (a bullseye round red spot) on my bottom. Went to see a doctor (a friend who belonged to the intentional community we were living in) and he prescribed antibiotics. I took them immediately, because I’d rather be alive and deal with the effects of that drug, then hang on for dear life trying to combat it naturally, and then possibly die. In my opinion, and I’m someone who even gets mad at my husband for taking aspirin if he gets a headache, anyone who contracts lyme disease should take antibiotics immediately!!!

good question.. I will answer that with a queston.
Why would YHWH put something on men and then later tell them to remove it with a flint knife that was not as sterile as what we have today. You and everyone else is missing the point of circumcision. It is for a sign of a covenant between YHWH and man. NOT salvation but a sign.

Just a light observation. There has been a lot said against removing a man’s foreskin because it decreases his pleasure because there are less nerves and such available for stimulation. But considering that many men get too excited too quickly, it may be an advantage to women that circumcised men are not as sensitive there. So, from that perspective, a man gives up a little pleasure so a woman can have a few seconds more. Hmm.

I know nothing about lyme desease, but found some information, I feel would be helpful, in the 1990 Prescription for Nutritional Healing, page 233, by James F, and Phyllis A Balch. New additions of this book are found in most health food stores.
They explain ticks can carry lyme disease, especially the white-tailed deer.
There is much information, and includes supplement advice and recommendations.

Hello,
We just found you on you tube today through a friends blog. We have had a fun time looking through all your good information. Modesty and covering has been on our heart a lot. We are interested in learning more here from you. We garden but live in a bush town of Alaska where winters can get -80 below zero. So living out of a garden or green house is not even close to possible. We can eat out of our garden for a couple months, then it all freezes over. We have a small store that offers no organic and has a small produce section by normal standards. So it is hard to figure out how to eat healthy when the closest city is 200 miles away. Is it better to eat the “same” store veggies over and over or should we mix in canned or frozen veggies? We are not sure what the best thing to do is. Thanks for your help. And may YHWH bless you and your work.

Scripture gives the promise that if we keep YHWH’s commands (including the Old Covenant clean and unclean food laws) He will not bring the diseases of the Egyptians upon us. Many diseases are caused by disobeying Scripture health laws. I believe there is a natural alternative to most every medical disease. I do not have the answer for Lyme Disease, but I have researched Crohn’s Disease which I believe is caused by the slow growing fungus the Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. Crohn’s is leprosy as defined by Scripture. The ancient medical treatment by China and India for all forms of leprosy was 10 to 20 drops before meals 3 times per day for 3 months of Chaulmoogra oil squeezed from the nut of the Hydnocarpus whitiana tree. Also, Gotu kola taken every day for a year has caused leprosy to test negative for the Mycobacteria leprae and is also recommended for Crohn’s. Dr. Jordan Rubinelli used probiotic beneficial bacteria that kill fungus that he sells through Garden of Life for his Crohn’s disease. Not one drug prescribed in maintenance doses for Crohn’s has been proven to be more effective than placebo. Crohn’s patients who have never taken immune suppressant drugs are more likely to maintain remission once remission is attained than those using drugs. Antioxidant vitamins in high doses are as effective as drugs given in high therapeutic doses, although drugs in high doses are only 10 to 30 percent more effective than placebo in inducing remission. Johne’s disease in ruminants is also caused by the Mycobacerium paratuberculosis and is similar to Crohn’s in man. Sugar can cause a flare up of Crohn’s and probably feeds the fungus. A better sweetener substitute would be stevia.

Hello Paul,
My family and I apprecite your teachings. and really glad that you are taking a stand on certian issues.
My question is, I am a truck driver and do most of my driving at night because of the heat during the day, and traffic. I have changed my diet completely. And I do keep kosher. But it is difficult for me to eat during the week. Most of what I eat is bannas, 2 three times a day, nuts, and (salads from subway but not all the time). And when I get home I eat better. So how or what can I do to eat better on the road in a truck?
Other than a salad one and a while from subway I do not eat at any restruants at all.
Thanks for your help.

Lyme Disease Facts: corkscrew spirokete from the syphllis family (sorry about the spelling as lyme disease affects memory); a person has 8-11 days from bite to use antibiotics successfully because the bacteria is still only in the bloodstream. After that it burrows into the dark places of the body: brain, heart, kidneys, cartilidge. From there best bet is Teazel Root tinture, removing mercury fillings with a Weston Price trained dentist, monoluren supplement from Ecological Formulas, grapefruit seed extract, pure diet, no sugar. Acupuncture analysis reveals that people with weak spleen/stomach have harder time overcoming lyme. If someone is infected with the Babeossa strain (malaria like) some Drs. say they will not overcome lyme. I have chronic neurological lyme 4 years now and am totally disabled but am making progress with the above mentioned. I would be happy to help others find resources for healing as this has now become my full-time job. email ISISTKS@gmail.com and I’ll write you back.
Paul, thank you for your wonderful work. I respect your honesty and integrity and resonate with so much of what you say. Bless you and your family.

Hi Paul, Thank you for being willing to tackle the lyme disease issue. The first thing anyone who is dealing with this needs to know is that here is an all out war when it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of lyme disease. If you don’t understand that, you will be exposed to a lot of misleading information. Most doctors aren’t even aware of this and many of those that do, deny that chronic lyme disease even exists, which is why so many people are misdiagnosed. This is also a convenient position for the insurance companies because it gives then license to deny treatment. I should mention that recently, my mom and sister were diagnosed with lyme and I received my 7-year-old daughter’s test back two days ago and she has it as well. This has hit our family hard. As someone who went 16 years without a diagnosis, I can tell you that you have to be your own advocate. If you have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, ALS, MS, Alzheimers or Parkinson’s (along with many other diseases), there is a high likelihood that you have lyme disease. For the last three years, since my diagnosis, I have dabbled in different treatments, including a couple of months of antibiotics, the Dr. Lee Cowden herbal protocol, and the various dietary changes and supplements. Glyconutrients and other supplements got me through many of the years I was sick, but they don’t kill the lyme bacteria and when I started exercising regularly, I went downhill very fast because the lyme went into my brain. The thing that was the most helpful once that happended, was going on a raw food diet and Kangen water, but I still couldn’t function much better than 30-50% of normal and I didn’t want to start down the road of long term IV antibiotics, which is the best accepted way (by one side of the lyme war debate) to kill off the bacteria. Accidentally, last fall, I found out about a clinic in Reno called Sierra Integrative Medical Center http://sierraintegrative.com. (I gave this website to you a month or so ago when I bought the infrared hot house from you.) They have been treating lyme disease for a long time without antibiotics. I was there for 5 1/2 weeks of treatment in February and March and I feel the best I have felt in all the years I’ve been dealing with this disease. In my opinion, based on personally knowing about 40 people with this disease, there is no perfect treatment and those of us with this disease will always have to be diligent. However, this clinic has a very high success rate for getting people back to living a normal life, and they do it fast…..way faster than what they are doing with long term antibiotics. In addition, the treatment is individualized for each patient. Lyme affects different people different ways because there are so many different strains and co-infections that can be present. You must go to someone who has extensive experience and has a high success rate. There are so many people out there, especially natural health people, who think they know how to treat it and 99% of the time they don’t have a clue. The bacteria must be killed. There is no other way around it, unfortunately. There were many patients at the clinic when I was there that have done years of IV antibiotics and they are still sick and very toxic on top of that from the drugs. It takes longer to treat when there is so much additional toxicity. I am willing to talk to anyone who has questions. I was all alone for so many years with no one who understood what I was going through and it’s my mission to help whoever I can. My email is trichick@mac.com. If you just want to educate yourself on the debate and the disease, the best book I’ve found on the topic is called Cure Unknown, Inside the Lyme Epidemic. If you want to see the best information available on lyme disease and treatment, go to http://ilads.org. In addition, give the Reno clinic a call and ask for information. They will send you a booklet on lyme disease and treatment. I could write much more, but I hope this is helpful for now.

My 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with Lyme a year ago and had a very hard struggle to overcome it. She is mostly better now. She had the typical first round on antibiotics which helped for about 2 weeks and then everything came back with a vengeance.
We found a lyme literate doctor in NJ and he put her on 3 more rounds of anitbiotics before she felt better. She also used ghee (Indian clarified butter for a few weeks and that helped with the joint pain.
Wendi Dee (PureJeevan.com) suffered terribly with Lymes also and she used the Ghee. She has a lot of info on her web-site. Just to let everyone know that her beliefs are radically different from our,, so you are aware of that when browsing her site.
Just to mention this – my other daughter had Lymes when around 10 and I have had it twice in the 1990’s and we are both fine after just one round of antibiotics, so everyone responds differently.

Why do christians do things that they are not told to do, ” go to church on sunday, celebrate christmas, easter, wear crosses, put fish symbols on their car” when those things are never told for us to do by the Father or Yeshua. But when someone finally decides to obey the Father and do what HE says for us to do,”keep Sabbath, wear tzitos, eat kopsher, circumcise our children,and keep our hands to ourself ect, ect..” why do they get so offended? we are doing what the father says, not what some man has told us to do. circumcision is to be done for a reason, and that reason may not be revield to us by the Father. and sometimes they are. Circumcision was not given to Abraham or the rest of the children of Israel for salvation, neither was it required to anyone else for salvation. It however has been used by those in reglious sects to be the means for salvation. I dont think that Paul Nison is intending that at all. their is a health issue behind it. Paul (in the bible) taught about it and he was for it, IF done in the right way and not done the way the pharisee required it to be done. If Paul Nisson had stated that you needed to be circumcised in ordered to be saved then I would understand the need for the statements that people are making. But since he has not made that statement then you should not bash him for doing what the Father has required all those who choose to follow Him to do. YHWH is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And His last words to us in the OT (Tanak) was for us to REMEMBER THE TORAH OF HIS SERVANT MOSHE. Malachi 4
Sorry I had to VENT.
Paul keep standing up for the Father’s WORD.

Why is it that christians do things that they were not instructed to do,like “sunday worship, christmas, easter, wear crosses, put fishes on their cars, ect” of which it is mentioned nowhere in scripture to do so. But when a brother OR sister decides to adhear to the teaching of the bible mainly that which was given by the Father like, kepping the Sabbath, passover, eating kosher, wearing tassels,covering their head, and circumcisioning their children.. ect, do they come under attack from “christians”?
The Father gave us instructions on how to live our lives according to HIS standars, not the world. And though He may not explain things for why we should do them it is not for us to ask why, just do it. One of the reasons for circumcision was to seprate those who have chosen to follow after YHWH. Their may be other reasons, health related, but it is not for us to question. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, FOR MY CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, IT WAS NEVER GIVEN AS A MEANS OF SAVLAVTION, your never find that in scripture, Although many have been made it out to be so by cedrtian sects. But Paul Nison did not say that is why you should circumcise your sons. Even the apostle Paul was for it, IF it was done in the order in which the Father said to do, NOT acording to the Pharises. Paul N. mentioned that a rabbi should be the one to do it, and I think that is why so many flared up. I dont think that it HAS to be done by a “rabbi” but just that it should be done. The Father did not say to have your local rabbi to do this. Actullay it should be the parents who do this. just as abraham did. But if you have a rabbi to do it then fine, your not SINNING.
Why do you bash Paul N for standing up for how the scripture tells us to live? If he stated that you must circumcise your children IN ORDER TO BE SAVED then I could see the argument. BUt he didnt.
Sorry, I had to vent,
Paul, keep on standing up for the Father’s word. just as they perscuted the prophets for trying to lead the people back to the Fathers commandments Jer. 6:15-17 so to will those of us who try to piont people toward His word will be perscuted.
P.S and NO I did not call Paul a prophet.

a reply to Enrique’s reply
you said ” we are basically saying that God (or for the non believers ‘Nature’) has made a mistake. The Bible says that God pronounced creation ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31) and that humans were made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27)”
If that is true, that we tell YHWH that He made a mistake, then why did He instruct us to do it in the first place? telling Him that He made a mistake would be like wearing make-up, shaving, dyeing your hair, having plastic surgery, ect.. all of which are ways people alter their apearance, but cutting something that He told men to cut does not say that.
you mentioned, (( Note the connection between circumcision and slavery.))
other than a slave being one of those required to be circumcised there is no connection. and if your tring to connect circumcision as being in bondage then your wrong. If it was bondage then why was it given. YHWH’s commandments dont put people in bondage, people put people in bondage.
you mentioned ((Laws commanding circumcision are said to come through Moses (e.g. Leviticus 12),))
Mose did RESTATE the commandment. but he was not the one by whom it first came thru. that was Abraham. Gen.17:9-14
and then you said((
“but the Children of Israel abandoned circumcision during Moses’ leadership (Joshua 5: 4-7). ” ))
Maybe you need to reread that chapter. mainly verse 2 and 3. it says
Jos 5:2 At that time YHWH said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Did you notice the phrase ” A SECOND TIME” AND AT THE HILL OF THE FORSKIN” ?
If they abandoned the commandment of circumcison then why was this said to have already been done before ” a second time, and at the forskin? if they had abandoned circumcision during Moses learership it would have mentioned it somewher between Ex. and Deut.
And could the reason that Moses not having circumcised his own son be because he had been raised an egyptian? not saying that is why but It may have been that he might not have thought of it. Have you ever forgot anything?
then you stated, ((If God created men with foreskin he must have done so for a reason right? Why remove it?))
Yes there must have been a reason for men haveing forskin. And it just may have been for it to be removed by those who have chosen to follow after YHWH. If not then why did HE say to remove it.
And “Why remove it” well that is easy to understand. Because YHWH said so. any other reason NOT to is disobedience.

The Truth is Enrique is not a believer and has never even read the Bible, so thank you for your reply to him.

I apparently made my comment as a reply to someone else’s post. Did not mean to do that.

A friend sent me over to your site and I found this episode while browsing around. I’m thrilled to hear more mention of Lyme in the health community! I was bitten by an infected tick when I was 8 years old and grew very ill at age 14. 4 years later I still battle it and my whole life has been changed by it. I hate what this disease has done to me physically, but I praise God for what He has taught me through it about healthy living. He’s given me a real vision for the future. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the best types of food, and I am unable to grow my own at this point, but I never cease striving towards that end goal. I personally don’t believe that antibiotics are the best way to treat this disease. I was on high doses of them for 3 months at the beginning of my illness and they made me 10x worse. It took me a year to recover just from the damage the antibiotics did to my body in that short amount of time.
Anyways, thanks for brining this HUGE issue up… so many suffer from this disease.

Hi Kate,
I really appreciate your comment. (My really long comment is a ways above yours.) I also am very thankful that through this illness, God has taught me about healthy living and in turn, I can pass that on to my children.
Blessings,
Shannon
