I”ve recently married a man who has been dreadfully unhealthy.
It was a big surprise to me! If I had choreographed my own
experience of falling in love, I would have carefully chosen
a vibrantly healthy man. As it is, my new husband looks to be
quite healthy and strong. He earns our living in the woods as
a logger…and he does his logging all by hand. He thins out
the underbrush, the unsightly trees, burns the debris, rakes
the fine sticks off the forest floor, and neatens up the creeks,
all with hand tools and chain saws. He”s terrifically strong
and good looking.
But, come to find out, he”s fed his body coffee and sugary
foods, with a few boxed goods and chicken sandwiches. So,
even though he looks strong and healthy, he”s been in poor
condition. His diseases and ailments include: borderline
diabetes, headaches, painful GOUT, arthritis, frayed tendons
in his shoulders, extreme tiredness, 50 broken bones in his
lifetime, shooting pains and general pain, blocked kidneys,
indigestion going up and indigestion going down, as well as
abnormal brainwaves.
I never suspected, as I was dancing into the wee hours with this
handsome and lively man that he was dancing under the influence
of pain medications. Little by little, it all came to light.
I admire my new husband because of his strength of heart.
His name is Dave, this man whom I admire. He”s fought through
his pain to keep doing the work he loves; and he shows his
strength of heart in other ways as well. He”s a man who
doesn”t give up. He is also able to change his thinking if
it has proven to be harmful. In the past month that we”ve been
married, Dave has given up coffee and most sugar. He”s amiably
sat alongside me at the dining table and eaten whatever I”ve
set before him. He now eats vegetables and he drinks vegetable
juice daily. He also joins me in eating a home ground flax seed
cereal every morning. He binges on addicting treats less and
less frequently, not even mentioning them like he used to. He
has replaced his grocery store bread and grocery store peanut
butter and honey with a heavy duty spelt bread, home ground
almond butter, and raw local honey. I think he”s a champ!
He thinks my kind of food is surprisingly tasty.
We eat a diet that includes wild meat and home grown meat,
grains, vegetables and fruit and homemade desserts using
stevia, date sugar, and raw honey for sweetening. We love to
eat and we enjoy our mealtimes together. We pray before eating
and are sincerely thankful for food that brings us to health
and strength. I love to hear Dave pray.
Dave”s symptoms are disappearing.
Yes, I”m glad to be able to tell you that Dave”s body is
responding quickly. He must have a terrifically strong genetic
heritage. We”ve noticed that his energy level is up and he
smiles more; he doesn”t have constant pain, although he does
still have sudden pains here and there and specific pains after
a hard day”s work. He doesn”t pop anti-acid tablets or pain
killers like he used to; nor does he have the same severe
malfunctionings in his systems of elimination. Basically, Dave
is more comfortable and happier than before. And he can dance
very well because his toes that used to be terrifically swollen
and painful have reduced in size by half and have become
flexible again! Dave is an avid supporter of Young Living
supplements and essential oils. He”s honestly surprised to
realize his symptoms of ill health are disappearing.
Here are the supplements and oils we”re using for Dave.
Every morning he takes Detoxyme, a high-powered enzyme complex
that cleans his blood of all the toxins we”re stirring up. He
also takes a capsule of Oregano Oil internally to deal with the
fungus and unwanted microbes in his blood. At night Dave
takes Alkalime to make his body alkaline instead of acidic.
(Most of us should use Alkalime.) Right before sleeping, Dave
gets a body massage using the Young Living Essential Oils
(Frankincense Oil for overall ease of symptoms and general
well-being; PanAway oil blend for severe pain; and Peace and
Calming oil blend). I use Ortho Sport Massage Oil as the
carrier oil because he”s prone to muscular soreness. I feather
and spread and massage deeply along his upper arms (frayed
tendons his spine as well as his whole back, the inside of
his knees, his toes and feet and ankles, and finally any other
area of need. He doesn”t complain of headaches anymore, but I
used to apply Peppermint to his head at the hairline. And we
ALWAYS apply two or three drops of Peppermint to the corner of
his pillowcase. We have to.
You see, Dave snores and snorts and roars loudly. He has about
4 different kinds of sleep disorders, self-diagnosed, but very,
very real. And Peppermint Oil has worked miraculously through
his sense of smell. Somehow his brain is eased and his
breathing patterns are eased and I can ease into a good sleep
too. It”s a funny story, but it”s serious too. Sleep is
important.
If you know anyone who has severe sleeping disorders and is
considering sleep therapy, please refer them to this website
and this information. The therapeutic Peppermint Oil produced
by Young Living will stop snoring. It has worked for my new
husband Dave!

We”ve been happily married one whole month. Before that we had
a very short courtship. As Dave says, *I”ve known Dianne for
forty years, but I just met her six months ago.*
Please feel free to contact me by phone or email.
I want you to know I”m quite serious when I invite you to
contact me. It”s reassuring to talk to one another *in person*.
I think it”s important to realize people on the Internet are
real, live people.
If you”re satisfied that this newsletter and some of the
previous issues are suitable for sharing with your friends
and family, please forward it on to your contacts. I will
appreciate the extra coverage. Thank you for remembering me
in this way.
