HI Melissa,
I will be praying. I just got an email from HSN regarding your situation. I am so glad that your energy is returning. I have been reading about the Gerson Therapy. I asked for a book on it for Christmas. It is very exciting.

We are learning to embrace each step of this journey. There are good days and there are more challenging days. There are praise-filled rejoicing days when goals are easily met. There are also seemingly “set-back” days when there are digestive issues and/or emotional difficulties that take us by surprise. This causes us to run and cling in dependence upon God for our intercessors to petition the Lord. As we have done so we have discovered that God is faithful, that He meets us in our time of need, that His strength is perfect when our strength is gone.

Overall, I am feeling much stronger than I did a month ago. I haven’t vomited in days and I am reminded of the days when I would pray and fast and only drink fluids back in Pittsburgh. I am drinking carrot, apple, and celery juice as well as beets and kale.

Wondering how to pray?

Praise the lord for answered prayer
Daily hydration goals are now easily met/exceeded.
I am continuing to tolerate juicing well, working on increasing nutritional content of the liquid, and recently added coconut oil for increased fat/caloric intake. This will hopefully help lessen the weight loss I’ve experienced over the last four months.

Continue to pray for healing, for the family, and good management of energy

Be encouraged. God is on the move. I have witnessed miracles – Hannah can still attend BSF without her mother in attendance. [Also, the little girls are now included to be able to continue attending.] Anyone that knows how enforced the rules are at BSF (bible study fellowship) will understand that that’s a miracle. Also many relational healings have occurred as a result of the journey my family is on. To God be the Glory.
