Maraika and Julie. Thank you for setting up your Rheumatoid Arthritis Website and for using my Testimony to encourage others.

Sandy's testimony "Release from the Chains of Rheumatoid Arthritis"
Sandy was a prisoner of her own body,
For more than 11 years, degenerative diseases forced Sandy to live with Narcotic Pain Killers and multitude of organ damaging prescription drugs. Doctors had tried everything including 3 years of Chemotherapy for her Rheumatoid Arthritis and other connective tissue diseases. She was no longer wheelchair bound but still the pain was unbearable!. She prayed for God to grant her a miracle. Then a friend gave her some potent Pharmaceutical Grade supplements to try. Little did she know that this would be the key that would open the prison door and free her from all of the drugs.
God answered Sandy's prayers.
Is God answering your prayer today?
Maybe YOUR answer is the same as Sandy's.
From Sandy who shares her personal story with us below.
Life was good and I was living it to the fullest. My Husband owned and operated a Computer Store, which often required my assistance. I was a Mother to two Teenagers, a Music Evangelist on weekends, plus a full time Hair Designer?Barber. Needless to say I was under a tremendous stress load. But, like many of you, never once did I ever dream my whole life could fall apart so quickly!.
In 1991, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, plus 3 Connective Tissue Diseases. I immediately began a daily regiment of powerful drugs.
Within less than a year of the first symptoms, unbearable pain and inflammations engulfed my whole body. Suddenly all my daily functions came to a screaming halt. I cannot begin to explain to the the broken-ness I bore in my heart as I watched my world, as I knew it, slowly drift away.
As part of the disease my hands drew into locked fists, my wrists curled and jaws locked, and my body drew into a fetal position. But the worst thing for me was - having to live on strong addictive narcotics around the clock. I literally became a prisoner in my own body.
The Physician's at University of Missouri informed me, "We don't know what causes R.A, therefore we can only treat the symptoms". The disease was so aggressive, that they went for the strongest medication they had at that time, "Methotrexate". (Chemotherapy)
Dr. Strand's book "Death by Prescription" really spelled out for me the truth about prescription drugs. With massive drug therapy comes --terrible side effects. My Immune System was being destroyed, which led to a constant battle with infections. But, the real danger was that the drugs also covered up other warning signals, which led me to death's door.
In September '94 my husband rushed me to hospital with severe pain. They found I had a blood sugar count of 893. I slowly slipped away in a semi-coma. My husband tells the story: the doctors told him, "there is no way we can save her". His reply was, "If she walks out of here, then you are saying it would have to be a miracle from God, right!". The doctors agreed. A week later, I walked out of the Hospital!. The doctors confess that I am truly a walking miracle!
For more than 11 years, degenerative diseases forced me to live with Narcotic Painkillers and a multitude of organ damaging prescription drugs. Doctors tried everything including 2 years of Gold Shots and 3 years of Chemotherapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis and othe connective tissue disease. I was no longer wheel chair bound but still the pain was unbearable!
In the year of 2000, while in prayer the Lord clearly instructed me, "Your problem is in your diet".
So, I diligently began searching for nutritional answers, vitamins and other supplements. I began juicing fruits and veggies and tried some horrible drink mixes! The change in my diet did give me energy, but did nothing to relieve the pain and inflammation. Therefore, I had no choice but to continue a daily regiment of drug therapy.
For those 11 years, I diligently cried out to God to grant me a miracle. Then in the Spring of 2002, a dear friend gave me the information that changed my life. Little did I know that this would be the key that would open the prison door and free me from pain and suffering and the use of prescription drugs.
Itt's still hard for me to comprehend what happened! You see for 1 years I had dreaded waking up in the morning to an unbearable surge of pain. After 5 days of starting the program, that surge is gone! After one month of severe detox, I was completely off all prescription drugs! I was now using Tylenol instead of narcotics for pain.
Needless to say, my husband wanted to know more about what gave me this incredible turnaround. So he did his own research and the program came up trumps.
Since the Spring of 2002, I have been faithfully staying with this program and can honestly say - it has leterally given me my life back!. I have undergone a total life change, which has taken much persistence and great determination on my part. But the key is - Never, ever give up!!!
Once again I am able to walk every day with my husband, and enjoy traveling and working full time in our World Mission Ministry.
This program does not work miracles, but gives my body what it needs to heal itself, which takes time. I do experience an occasional R.A Flare Up. But I refuse to get discouraged. I quickly remember what my life was like before.
Along with this program I try to stick with an anti-inflammatory diet, drink lots of filtered water and get exercise daily. This life style also has great added benefits - lower Blood Pressure, weight loss, general good health and a high energy level! To hear the comments of "My, you're looking great" does wonders for ones self-esteem!
This is truly an answer to my prayers.
I am ever so grateful to my dear friend for giving me the gift of sharing her knowledge. Thank you to Dr. Strand for sharing your much appreciated recommendations. And last but not least, Thank You to my wonderful friend - my faithful-loving Husband (God only knows where our feet have trod!)
