How We Fight

When it comes to troublesome symptoms, we used to run right to an expert for help. Unfortunately, that often caused a lot more problems than it solved. Now, we take a completely different approach.

For example, my husband’s snoring started a couple of years ago, but a few months ago, it suddenly got so bad it was deeply concerning. I was lying awake at night just praying for wisdom on how to handle it. Cory wasn’t too worried and told me he trusted me to figure it out—and while I usually love a challenge, I have to admit this one was a little scary for me. Watching someone you love struggle to breathe comfortably at night is terrifying.

I know that God is the ultimate healer, and nothing will heal unless it is His will. When we pray and look to His word, He promises to give us the wisdom we need. I kept seeking that wisdom, and I started treating the situation like a puzzle.What had changed?

He had transitioned from his office job to working as an electrician a few years ago, and he was now encountering heavy fragrances, industrial glues, and strong chemical mixtures at a brand-new intensity. On top of that, he had been working out in the fields during the summer, leaving him heavily exposed to a lot of intense farm chemicals. It wasn’t that these were entirely new to him, but the sheer level of exposure was different. His toxic load had just peaked.

Instead of turning to a quick cover-up, I trusted the guidance I felt. I put together a custom nighttime cleansing routine for him. The very first night he tried it, his snoring drastically improved. Fast forward a few months, and the heavy snoring is completely gone. God truly blessed us with a quick solution.

Over the years, the Lord has gently used me to walk alongside several people and help them navigate and heal different symptoms. I take no credit for it—it is just so incredibly exciting to watch God work through simple, natural means.

I remember another friend who was dealing with a painful case of mastitis. In the past, she always relied on antibiotics to treat it, and she was getting ready to do the exact same thing again. After we talked, she decided to take a leap of faith and try my recommendation to use garlic instead. Her symptoms cleared up so quickly she could hardly believe it! That single moment changed everything for them, and it has led her entire family down a beautiful, more natural path.

We saw the exact same approach work for a friend whose son had eczema on his arm. Instead of just applying a cream to hide the rash, (which I do sell) we looked at their diet and lifestyle and switched their organic hybrid wheat to ancient grains. The eczema cleared right up.

These stories excite me so much because they happen all the time when we change our perspective, seek true wisdom, and watch Him move.

I want everyone reading this to realize something vital: God has equipped you to be the best person to observe, understand, and care for your own body. What works is going to look completely different for everyone.My encouragement to you today is to start paying attention and take your concerns to Him early. Don’t wait until a small warning sign turns into a major crisis. We need to start fighting when the symptoms are still small, addressing them at the root before they ever get too serious. Let’s pray for discernment, look deeper, and let Him guide us to correct things from the very beginning.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

— James 1:5
