Someday, I’m gonna wake up without pain, without nausea, without fatigue. My head won’t hurt, my feet won’t burn, my skin won’t crawl. These are the thoughts I have to have to keep hope. Someday. It often feels like someday may never come. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what feeling well feels like - making…
Biologix Center for Optimal Health
In the two months prior to coming to Biologix (this trip), I was basically bedridden. I spent a lot of time crying and feeling literally like my body was dying. The ability to come here was an immeasurable gift of love. Gods timing is never off and this is no different. The process of healing…
The Need for a Caretaker
Sometimes being a caretaker is harder than being a patient. This role is one of the absolute most critical components to being sick comfortably. No - being sick is not comfortable. It’s hard. It’s almost unbearable at times. But it can become impossible without a solid support team. The head pain, body pain, weakness, frailty,…
Fear Is A Liar
We all start out thinking this is temporary. We believe some doctor or potion will eventually get us back to the state of normalcy to which we have become accustomed. So when does that change? At what point during sickness do we shift to the mindset that it may not happen. And what causes that…
Thankful Grateful Fed
Saying grace before meals is a common practice among most Christians. There are a lot of reasons we do this - glorifying God by acknowledging his gift of provision is usually the big one. But did you know God has a more individual, physical reason for saying grace? That’s right - you heard me -…
Joy in the Battle
I just finished day 2 at the Biologix Center. A large focus of my healing right now is center mass - gut, kidneys, liver, heart, lungs. I’ll try to better explain the process and treatment protocols later this week - it’s a little overwhelming, even my 2nd time through. But I feel improvement and I…
Fly-Over States
We just crossed the border from Oklahoma to Kansas on our last leg of a 4 day journey to Wichita. This has been a rough trip, but I’ve been better than I expected and we have totally enjoyed the ever changing landscape and weather. If you have never taken the highway 40 / Route 66…
Take the Path Forward
Living with any chronic illness can sometimes seem hopeless. You lay in bed in pain, sickness, depression - hour after hour, day after day. It’s only a matter of time before you start to think “this is it - this is life - forever”. You stop seeing a path forward. Especially when so many…
Insomnia
In the last 2 months, I’ve not had 5 full nights sleep. Most nights I lay awake until 2 or 3 AM and sleep only a few hours at a time. You change when you stop sleeping. You don’t think clearly. Your body doesn’t have the rest it needs to be able to regenerate so…
The Many Faces of Hope
I think the most difficult times in life often trigger the greatest measures of joy. In fact, it’s hard to imagine joy without challenges. How do you know something is truly good unless you first know something is bad? How do you truly appreciate a blessing unless you first feel the weight of a trial? …
