My allergies started with mononucleosis when I was 19 years old. I developed hepatitis when I was 26 and a few years later I became sensitive to synthetic fabrics and my chemical sensitivities expanded from there.

I worked as a medical social worker and I had to cut back my hours to 3 days per week. Somewhere in the early 80’s I began wearing a charcoal mask every time I went out. If I didn’t, I would come down with respiratory flu-like symptoms that could put me to bed for weeks. Later I graduated from a charcoal mask to an industrial respirator. I could not be in a room with the windows open without becoming ill.

In 1986, I left work on a medical leave believing that if I got away from the stress of my job I would recover. Only I got worse. By then I was a universal reactor to all conventional allergens, multiple chemicals, foods, clothes, and the air I breathed.

I had an extremely difficult time finding clothes I could tolerate. Once I washed my clothes in anything, I could no longer tolerate them. At one point I was down to one pair of old worn-out-jeans and a checkered flannel shirt. I wore this every day for 10 months and I could not wash them as that was how I became sensitized to my clothes in the first place.

I had been diagnosed with:

Multiple Chemical Sensitivities aka MCS/EI
Hypothyroidism
Candida colonization hypersensitivity syndrome
Chronic viral myalgic encephalomyelitis secondary to EBV or CMV
Chronic intestinal protozoan parasitosis
Chronic fatigue immune deficiency-dysregulation syndrome
Tendonitis
Multiple allergies/universal reactor
Hypersensitivity urethritis
Autoimmune endocrinopathy
Electromagnetic frequency sensitivity
Asthma
Chronic back pain/degenerative disc disease
Depression
Diffuse fibromyalgia syndrome

Some time after a natural disaster, I hit an all-time low physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That is when I first heard about Be in Health™ from a former roommate of a good friend of mine. This was a Jewish woman who had converted to Christianity and had been healed of similar medical problems by God. My friend and I contacted Be in Health and began talking to them by phone on a regular basis. I got saved over the telephone when I was 50 years old.

I had not been raised in the church although my parents taught me Christian morality. I briefly explored Christianity in college but quickly became disillusioned. In my early 30’s I became a disciple of a well-known Indian guru because I was in need of inner peace and he had promised this to those who followed him. I practiced his meditation and lifestyle for 18 years. This made me vulnerable to all kinds of new age and occultic activities.

I became a student of astrology, Buddhism, E.S.T., radionics and the pendulum, etc., not to mention all the alternative medical practices that I tried. I mention these because becoming a born-again Christian was to the far right of my position both politically and spiritually.

In 1992 I got into an airplane using an oxygen tank and a respirator and I flew across the country to come to Be in Health. The plane was sold out and someone wearing designer perfume was in close proximity to me. A miracle happened there on the plane when, after an hour of listening to some lively gospel music on my tape player, the overwhelming smell of the perfume dissipated. And when I changed planes in St. Louis I did not react to the cigarette smoke although I could smell it. This alone was a miracle. Although I was experiencing massive fear, I had stepped out in faith and God met me.

Henry put me into an apartment that had been prepared for someone who was very allergic. The second night I was served pork chops. This was a challenge because I had not eaten red meat in 18 years because of the vegetarian practice I had picked up from the guru. The people ministering to me read I Timothy 4:4-5, “For every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.”

I had a revelation that God wanted me to be able to eat anything. And He certainly didn’t want me to follow strange diets any more. I ate pork chops and had no adverse reaction to it. I quickly took my foods back and then my clothes and afterwards fresh air and chemicals. The church taught me the Word of God and helped me walk out my fears and occultism.

I am grateful to God for delivering me from disabling illness. I can truly say He has given me life more abundantly. Every occultic practice I did robbed me of my life and my health, but Jesus restored it.

Today I have freedom to move about in the world unhindered by environmental limitations. My energy has returned and I can be productive. I can eat and drink anything I want. I can buy clothes and wear them off the rack. I can enjoy nature out of doors. Thank You, Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and Henry Wright and the principles of Be in Health for giving my life back to me.
