A Real Challenge Disovered - Part 2

 

I wrote this post in order to get the basics out there, leaving out details of my own journey, family trials, and emotional/mental/spiritual impact this problem has caused.  

While still in the first weeks of discovery, I want to expound and share a bit more about what's been going on.

We've just learned about a genetic defect which causes a great many troubles.  This has been completely a Holy Spirit thing.  

First, I went here and signed up to get their bloodwork test, which they mailed to me.  I had been led to them more than 15 years before.  

It was easy to administer, and ship back to them in the envelope they provided.  

Once they received the kit back, they contacted me to schedule an hour consultation.  

During that hour online video chat, they went over financial options and then went through each facet of my bloodwork.  After our chat, I logged into my account and could see all the details of the bloodwork results.  It was easy to log in, and very easy to see and read the information.  




Not being at a point where we felt we could purchase the 3 months of practitioners' help, we opted to do research on our own.  That work has been fascinating, and is yielding much, which I am excited to share. 

If you feel something is not going right in your body, and you have any of the symptoms here

then I recommend getting the bloodwork done by Dr Axe's team, even if you've had bloodwork done by your general physician.  You can learn more here.    

I'll share more details in the next post.

A Real Challenge Discovered

 Half of us have the genetic variant MTHFR, impairing the body's ability to methylate B vitamins.

Addiction, depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, muscle pain, bi-polar, ADHD, migraines, inflammation, schizophrenia, OCD, low pain tolerance, heavy menstrual bleeding, red face after exercise, autoimmune and thyroid disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, miscarriages, diabetes, chronic pain, and MANY other troubles stem from this.
I have a hunch that both my family lines carried this as certain mental, emotional, and physical illnesses were apparent, that I have always had it, and that I have passed it to my children.
Needing help for more than 20 years, I have tried a zillion things which have not worked. Pharmakeia-trained medical professional bloodwork lab results never shone light on any of this.
Thanks to following the HS, and getting bloodwork by Dr Axe's team (which I've been sharing about here and elsewhere), I'm on day six of taking methylated B Vitamin supplements, and am just beginning to feel a bit better. Will continue to track progress.
I also learned those who don't have proper [thing-a-majiggies] in their lower intestines can't absorb even the methylated B vitamins, and so can benefit from an under-the-tongue lozenge/tablet to bypass digestion. I ordered those yesterday in case we need that added support.
I plan to track results here in our family, and then shout it out to the world.
Stay tuned.

Fighting the Good Fight

I use SiPhox Health to track my health with at-home blood testing. I'm sharing this code so you can too with 25% off!

Okay, so apparently 60% of Americans have body systems which can detox and remove junk from the horrible bad US food. The other 40% cannot, and so it gets trapped, meaning energies bottom out, and cells replicate unhealthily and organs aren't able to do what they're designed to.

After the bloodwork with Dr Axe's team (which I shared details and links a few weeks/months back), and not being willing to go into debt to pay for the 4 months of practitioners' help, I have been digging around learning what the problems are. JUST YESTERDAY he released a video explaining what happens when homocysteine is elevated, and he goes into details about something called MTHFR.
Looking up different videos to glean from, I was looking for WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES we're dealing with here?
It looks like, based on my family line up both sides, that we're not really great at taking crappy wheat from USA grown/sprayed farms and using it properly, and that we're not naturally able to get it to move through the body and out again.
Two decades ago I got what seemed like a VERY clear nudge from Providence on how to go forward, but that had been a ridiculous struggle. Now I get it, and have ordered the things to help get energies back up and running, toxins ousted, and strength and vitality to return.
Oh, how I love that God has designed our bodies to heal themselves with the right conditions. I'm standing in faith that these shifts will bring swift results.
In case you're dealing with any of this, I'll share videos and links in the comments.
I hope too, to remember to keep you posted on our progress!
Note 1: Liver is one the primary needs for this issue, which I refuse to eat. Thanking God for supplements! He always makes a way!!!!

Note 2: The symptoms he mentions here were shocking. For example, I always wondered why my face turns beet red after/during sports. My kids have the same thing! 
Plus so many of the symptoms are familiar to so many of us:
Migraines, depression, anxiety, heavy periods (for the ladies), and so many more things that I thought were just part of life. It IS when your body can't use the raw forms of those B vitamins!

Getting Behind ~ In Liberty with Freedom

I have a hunch I'm not the only one dealing with some underbelly power of INTIMIDATION.  Since hearing this message on Saturday, I can look back and see clearly that I've suffered under it for 20+ years, all while thinking it was Divine Wisdom.   

The processes of resisting the devil have taken me FOR E VER to learn.  

Having been reared in schools of a certain way of perceiving biblical ideas, it's taken more than 2 decades to find the roots of a stronghold which touts: if something is wrong it's your fault (sin), which means we need to perpetually confess, repent, and keep on submitting.  

YES that's a part, but only the first in the sequence.  RESISTING is the next step, and one I discern clearly now...finally.  

While having been in a LONG (!) and deep season of submitting myself to God, resisting the devil was something I felt completely wimpy at.  The learning curve has been steep the past couple of years, and now I enter what is known in the digital gaming world as The Big Boss Challenge.  


I am grateful for men and women who work to equip the Saints so we can be about the business of our own ministry to others!


In my down time, recouping from mysterious and odd infirmities which seemed to have no root cause, and yet which kept me severely pinned down, I worked diligently and intentionally to rewire my nervous system to face foes without cowering.  


It's been really fun, and I look forward to sharing those details soon, because they will show how big and good God is even in our culture where bleakness, evil and misery can be found en masse.  Hint: Hyrule   


To give a bit of a teaser, while I have loved video gaming since I was a kid, I would always have others fight big bosses for me because I had no inner ability to stand firm against those gargantuan opposing forces of strength.  My heart would race, hands sweat, and I would be terrified; unable to understand how to use weapons which had long worked on other smaller foes.  


No longer.  


Knowing what I am called to do, and having all I need to DO IT... I now only have to resist that lying sack of filth who twisted things so I felt completely scared to release what's within.  


OH, how I am going to wrestle this thing to the ground.   It has kept me back from writing, speaking, sharing, publishing, creating, traveling, etc all because I thought it was Wisdom's voice warning me to heed her.  


Working with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father for years to heal body, soul, spirit, heart, and mind I have gained wonderful freedom after decades of hardship and struggles.  Learning to submit myself to God and to resist the devil has taken all my years to understand and comprehend.  


Still, a formidable nemesis remained.  


Thanks to these guys, I now know its name, and am elated there's an answer.  Being able to see the cause of my cowardice gives me hope -the Romans 5 kind -which does not disappoint.  The well spring of life has begun to gurgle again!  


The nasty bugger who caused me to keep myself held back, in a dozen ways, all while believing I was heeding Providence, has been identified.


I'm so happy to finally have an answer to what's been causing me to shut my mouth about so many wonders of God in our world.  HIS WAYS WORK all the time, and I'm going to shout it from the rooftops....after I get a nasty monster off the shingles. 



I share this post with you in faith, knowing that my Redeemer lives, is seated at the right hand of Father, and is in me, while I am in Him.  

Taking courage,
Kate
