For the first year and a half of my son’s life, he suffered from constant constipation. No matter how much fruit, water or juice I gave to him, nothing worked. Finally, after everything that I filled him with, when he did go, let’s just say, it was extremely painful, and it wasn’t pretty. I was in constant consultation with the doctors, and they kept telling me that it was normal and that he obviously only needed to “go” once a week or so. (I have become so amazed that the doctor’s actually believed that!) His allergies and sickness never got better, and he seemed to be sick quite a bit. Not as much as some other children, but more than I wanted to deal with. He constantly had a runny nose and would frequently develop a cough from it which would then turn into bronchitis. I had a nurse say that he was obviously “allergic” to our cat and dog. I had a deep feeling that that just wasn’t true. It just didn’t make sense to me. I knew there had to be something more, but I didn’t know where to turn.
I, myself, was also suffering from allergies and eczema. I was taking whatever allergy medication I could get my hands on, and I still suffered greatly. I couldn’t breathe at night, so I depended on nose spray to keep me sleeping. I also have asthma. I was always fatigued, and I couldn’t seem to make it through lunch without feeling like I needed a nap to get me through the day. I was confused and frustrated with diets and remedies that seemed unnatural and faddish. I tried to eat enough fruits and vegetables to help, but it didn’t seem to be enough.
One day, I came across this cassette tape (yes, that is not a typo) that had been lying on my home desk for about six months. I didn’t know how it got there. When I was cleaning, I would just pick it up, dust under it and lay it back down. I finally decided to listen to it to find out what it was all about, and, to my complete amazement, the information that I heard on this tape was exactly the answer that I had been praying for! It had been there all along, and I never knew it! Come to find out, my brother had given it to me because he and his family had started milling their own wheat and making their own bread, and they wanted to share it with us.
I was so excited and couldn’t wait to share this newly found information with my husband! I was convinced just by listening to the tape, but for my husband, it sometimes takes a little further investigation and research. I prayed that God would guide him just as He had guided me and that if this was really the answer that we had been searching for, that He would convince my husband with only the information given on this tape. We sat to listen together, and as soon as the tape was over, he looked at me and said, “Let’s do it!” Needless to say, I was amazed! I immediately went and bought what I needed to get started (before he changed his mind, of course!)
After just one week of eating the bread, I had already started noticing a delightful and major difference in our body’s health. My son was finally “regular”, and his runny nose was GONE! Imagine that! His body was finally able to eliminate and fight the toxins that were building up in his body, and he was no longer sick!
As for me, I had ENERGY, ENERGY, ENERGY, and I no longer needed the afternoon naps that I required before. Don’t get me wrong. I still nap, but it’s now because I WANT to; not because I NEED to. Within the first week, my allergies had already started disappearing, and I did not need the medication that I needed before. Through the time that I had been suffering from eczema, my doctor told me that eczema was not a curable illness – that I would always be on medicated creams for it; however, after just one week of eating the bread, my eczema had already disappeared, and I have not even had one symptom of it returning since!
As of this article, it has been about 10 years since we started milling our own wheat and making our own bread. This one thing has been the beginning of a new and healthy lifestyle that we still continue to build upon. There are times that we will still get sick because we are simply human, but I am happy to say that it doesn’t happen as often or as severely as it used to; it tends to be over quickly. As much as we try to fight sickness, we are not superhuman, but we are stronger now and more equipped for the fight.
