Dr Mercola- Insights on Multiple Sclerosis

Very Important to Address All Early Childhood Emotional Traumas
I also want to emphasize the emotional component of autoimmune disease.
Just as vitamin D deficiency seems to be present in most cases of autoimmune disease, there is also typically an emotional element involved.
More often than not, some form of hidden emotional wound can be found in patients suffering with autoimmune diseases like MS. Typically, this wounding occurred at a very young age, almost always before the age of seven; typically before the age of five.
At that age your consciousness is not yet well formed, and it’s easy to incur a serious emotional insult that would not have been nearly as devastating if you’d been a few years older.
Frequently, these emotional injuries result in physical damage decades later, and we’ve found that without effective intervention to address these underlying emotional injuries, you may not be able to get significantly better.
Strategies like meditation, prayer, and energy psychology techniques are particularly effective and need to be part of your overall treatment strategy in order to truly address the root of your illness.
By applying these principles and others available on this site, we’ve seen phenomenal results, and I'm confident that if you suffer from MS and apply them, you too will notice a dramatic improvement in your condition.

Knocking on the right door for your Miracle- by Billy Burke

Chapter 1 ‘Exhausting all avenues’ March 2011
“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Luke 11:9-10
After 50 years I’ve done a whole lot of the above. Still am, cause it’s in the finding that a special sense of wholeness is found, and “that peace that passes understanding”
Each chapter a life lesson that has defined parts of my walk.
Door One: The Elders
Kinda was the first thing I did. With my inner healing it was being transparent with my junior high & high school spiritual leaders-Ralph & Mathel Ambrose and Phil & Jill Freeman which brought me into my salvation experience and baptism in the Holy Spirit. With my physical healing dealing specifically with the MS, Bro. Ken when at Liberty Bible College had a word that led me to a more nutritional walk. Bill & Barbara Stamp a forgiving walk.
It’s a constant to ‘call on the elders of the church’ when you are sick.
Door Two: Prayer of Agreement - powerful
Door Three: Gifts of the Holy Spirit -
Door Four: Speaking the Word of Faith
Door Five: The Word of God
Door Six: Forgiveness as a Force
Door Seven: Holy Communion
Door Eight: Obeying the Holy Spirit
Door Nine: Temple Care (Diet, Rest and Exercise)
Door Ten: Mix of Medicine and Miracles I’ll continue to comment on each but ‘Temple Care & Mix of Medicine and Miracles’ seems to be where I am.

Healing the Heart- Joan Hunter

Joan's parents were Charles & Frances Hunter, great healing evangelists in the 60's-80's. When Joan faced physical trauma she imediatley knew what to do. But after both her parents died, going through breast cancer & a divorce she learned the common thread of how emotional pains feed doubt and unbelief. Her's are personally tested words.
It's been raining outside today so this thought from Chapter 8 "Are You determined to be Healed" sorta hits home...
'When the storms of life come, there are three main things we can do;
1. Rebuke the storm- Rebuke the situation and it will flee.
2. Walk it out with Him- If the storm doesn't abate when you speak to it, know that you can walk through the storm. God is there beside you and HE will keep you protected even as the wind and rain swirl around you.
3. Wait- If the storm still continues to rage, know that this is something that you must go through in your life, but it will not last forever. Wait in faith for it to end, and know that God is perfecting you through the trial.'

A Place of HEALING by Joni Eareckson Tada

Is good meditation for those dealing with a medical condition for decades from someone who has been doing it in the public eye. I like a brief story Joni shares of a young man who felt a strong ambition to pray for her. Approaching her in a parking lot … “Have you ever considered that it might be sin standing in the way of your healing? That you’ve disobeyed in some way? He then told the story of the friends lowering the paralytic through the roof of the house who was healed when Jesus prayed for him. “You too could be healed if you confess your sin and have faith to believe.” He added “Joni, there must be sin in your life that you haven’t dealt with yet.” Joni said well my conscience is clear and thanked him for his concern. The guy just didn’t get it. He had prayed she should be healed. Finally she drew his attention to the rest of the verse, “Jesus saw the faith of the four friends and the man was made well” God didn’t require faith of the paralyzed man. But he could require yours.”
I love this and appreciate her perspective in many ways and will continue to believe in "the prayer of faith" (AMAZON will let you read the 1st chapter)

The Survivors Club--Ben Sherwood

"The secrets and science that could change your life"

"...discover how some people are born with a Resilience Gene that actually protects them in the worst knocks in life." The research is great with many stories
I watched the drama of the Chilean mine workers with the rest of the world. FOX news did an interview with Mr Sherwood, they discussed the most important survivor tool in crisis is faith.
The US Navy survivor manual also teaches Faith in God as the number one survivor tool. "Faith is a force multiplier" Praise God for prayer, for verses memorized in Sunday School, for hope-realistic optimism & His grace.

Bethany's Worship CD

http://www.wix.com/bethanyabrah/bethany-abrah

Music she produced when pursuing Hillsong, Australia. Not raising enough funds wasn't all bad, this CD is great consolation. It is a gift that leads you into the secret place and is wonderful meditation.
What makes this appropriate to 'A Clearinghouse for Healing' is it lets me talk about worship and just how wonderful worship is to the body & soul.

I began to realize after bouts with paralysis because of the MS, that I could stand, walk, dance, raise my arms, simply had more endurance while participating in a worship service. So why not take that presence-anointing with you in and through everything? He is present while we worship because "He inhabits the praises of His people" & "in His presence is fullness of joy" then it's "the joy of the Lord that is my strength" Loving the Word and Fellowship with the Lord is what has kept me these over 30 years with multiple sclerosis
