My journey back to spiritual and physical health

Let me start by saying that Jesus Christ supernaturally healed my enzyme production and that is why I can digest and absorb food again. Without His healing of my enzyme production I wouldn’t be having the success I’m enjoying today.

As many of you know I’ve been fighting a gastroparesis issue for the better part of 3 years and there hasn’t been much relief until now.

For those who aren’t familiar with gastroparesis it causes extreme bloating and gas/belching. If I didn’t belch it out it would FORCE itself out via dry heaves so I didn’t have much choice but to belch and it would go on for hours on end.

It caused a ton of problems including nutrient absorption (good news was I lost some extra lbs.), but urination and bowel movements were impossible until I had gotten rid of enough gas which means I got little sleep etc. Nothing I did seemed to work for very long and that included going no carbs and full protein but the bottom line was I wasn’t digesting my food well due to a gut bacteria imbalance and type 2 diabetes complications including nerve damage. This caused SIBO infections and more belching which led to antibiotics, whose relief proved to be temporary at best.

They also put me on a drug called metoclopramide, which is essentially an anti-vomiting drug that is used to treat issues like my belching. It’s designed to help with emptying the stomach which was one of the major issues I have/had. It helped me a ton but I had to double the dose and that can cause other issues. The problem with this drug is that it can cause seizures including a grand mal seizure which I didn’t want so I had to find the natural alternative. That search would lead me to what I feel is my cure.

Fast forward to this last week when I got some much needed answers after another session of prayer. The Most High directed me to GINGER as natures’ alternative to that anti vomiting drug. Then He directed me to Manuka honey as it has many more antimicrobials inside of it which help to kill off the bad bacteria or fungus and promote healthy bacterial growth! That led me to the recipe that I started using this week and WOW what a difference it has made in my life! Here is that recipe, adjust it for your own needs and taste.

I use 8oz hot water, 1 TBSP Honey, 1 TSP cinnamon, 1 TSP ginger, and squeeze 1 slice of lemon into it. I make this drink first thing in the morning in order to set my guts up for success and so far it’s working great! I’m not taking ANY DRUGS ANYMORE!!! ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE MOST HIGH!

I hardly belch anymore and when I do I always know what’s causing it, like my probiotics clashing with some bad bacteria (or too much coffee lol). The bottom line is that I’m 99% better than I was even a month ago when it was at its worst. I can sleep through the night now without having to sit in the bathroom at 2am, I can eat and ABSORB my food now without fear of a massive belching session an hour later, no matter what I ate.

This was a hard life lesson in maintaining or NOT maintaining your physical health. I neglected my health by eating fast food and processed foods for convenience like the rest of the modern world in the West and I paid a very high price for doing it. I blame no one but myself for the condition I found myself in and God used it to discipline me as well. Self control is a fruit of the spirit and I had NONE for a long time when it came to food (and coffee lol).

There was definitely a spiritual component to this as well and that was about self control and having discipline. In 2 Corinthians 12, 7-10, Paul talks about the “thorn in the flesh” given by a messenger of Satan lest Paul be exalted above measure (given too much credit) and when He asked Jesus to remove it Jesus’ reply was “my grace is sufficient for you”, and that was the same answer He gave me when I BEGGED Him to remove the sickness from me. That’s when Paul learned the lesson in verse 9.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. AMEN! Until I learned this lesson myself I would get no relief! Praise God I learned it!!! I’m now on my way to a full recovery in Jesus’ Holy name!

One other lesson I had to relearn was to BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE when you pray!!! No, I’m not talking about the prosperity Gospel or the “name it and claim it” movement, but rather solid believing FAITH. It’s a knowing deep down that you will receive what you asked for because it’s within God’s will for your life. YES He wants you to be well and to bless you but He may be trying to teach you something life changing through your suffering as well.

I know one thing’s very certain, my walk with the Lord is stronger and closer than it ever has been and it’s growing by leaps and bounds every day! This sickness forced me to rely on the Most High and His grace, strength and power, not my own and definitely not big pharma. I will admit that big pharma’s pills did force me to do some research to get my final remedy, so that was a plus.

That’s it for now. I pray that you found this useful and that it will help someone solve their own issues and deal with whatever problems life has thrown your way. Trust first in God, it all begins and ends there! Blessings to you all!

PS for more information on Manuka honey here is a link to a video I found on YouTube that shows you 10 benefits of this honey! Yes it’s expensive and it cost me almost everything I had left in my account but it has been so worth it! Ask God to provide and He will! https://www.youtube.com/live/oc14M7kjj0M?si=s_3FPMoyrooIsAUp
