Newage

Taking Back A Godly Heritage

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29

When Jesus told me that He wanted me to use a natural treatment against cancer, I began to look into what that meant.  What is a "natural" treatment?

While there is a lot of information available about using plants & herbs to heal, most of it is being promoted from a wiccan, pagan, or new age perspective.  In fact, it is very hard to find information about natural healing that is not tainted by such views.  I asked the Lord, "God, surely you don't want me to get involved with all of this?"

Yet, who is the Creator of all things?  Did not God Himself tell us that He has placed plants & herbs down here for our food and our health?

Is There A Doctor In the House?

When Jesus first told me to forgo chemo and radiation in favor of a natural approach for treating cancer, I just thought it would be much simpler than what it turned out to be.

I remember thinking that I would tell the doctor what God had told me to do, and he would work with me and monitor me while I followed the treatment to help me understand whether the disease was getting better or worse. 

Well, I was wrong.  Neither my oncologist, surgeon, or general physician wanted to monitor me on this journey.  They did not refuse to see me, but it simply wasn't the partnership or support that I felt I needed.  At every opportunity, they reminded me that I was "not doing what I was supposed to do".  Or, they pretended that I was doing absolutely nothing about my cancer with an attitude that I should "let them know" when I was ready to treat it.
