I’ll Never Forget That Day…

Image
I’ll Never Forget That Day… The doctor cleared his throat. “I’m sorry… but I have bad news.” He looked at my dad. “You have cancer.” In high school, my dad was an athlete. An All-American football player. Now he was sick. Very sick. Before long, he needed an oxygen machine just to breathe. And he stayed that way… for eight years. Simple things became hard. Walking. Sleeping. Getting up. Eventually, he couldn’t climb the stairs. He spent his final months in a hospital bed in the den. One afternoon, Mom was in the kitchen. Suddenly she heard Dad gasping for air. She rushed into the den. “Breathe, Paul! Breathe!” But it was too late. That night, the phone rang. "I guess you know why I'm calling." “Your father has passed away.” I don’t want to end up like that. Watching him go through that changed something in me. Not all at once. But enough. I started paying attention. Not trying to be perfect. But no...

The Nurse She Never Needed

Image
Her name was Janice Gravely. But to me, she was always Mrs. Gravely. She was my friend. Janice Gravely My mom knew her before I did. They both went to a monthly Christian women’s meeting. Mom told me Mrs. Gravely would sometimes fall asleep during the meetings. Her health was getting worse. By her mid-70s, she had several health problems. Her family was even thinking about hiring a full-time nurse. But that was only part of her story. Years earlier, she and her husband were flying together in a small airplane. Her husband had a heart attack while flying the plane. Mrs. Gravely had never flown an airplane before. Suddenly she was alone in the air. No idea how to land it. Somehow, she survived the crash. Her husband did not. Years later, something else happened. She was still traveling and speaking. After one event, someone handed her a drink made from young barley grass. She drank it. And something changed. She still had energy. S...

She Thought Her Eyes Had Gotten Worse

My wife had been wearing glasses for years. It was part of life. Driving. Watching a movie. Sitting at a game. Normal things. We didn’t think much about it. Laura and Brady Then one morning... She put her glasses on. Everything looked blurry. So she took them off. Suddenly... she could see clearly. That happened years ago. She still doesn’t need them. I didn’t try to explain it. But I didn’t forget it. I kept thinking about it. About what we were doing each day. About the things we were drinking. Green drinks. Carrot juice. Not perfectly. Consistently.

She Thought It Was a Scam

Image
That's what it sounded like to her. A green powder. Big claims. The kind of thing a lot of people would throw away. She almost did. Her name was Janet Pauly. She was a registered nurse. By that point, doctors had already tried everything they could. Years of treatments. Radiation. Investigational drugs. Eventually, she was told there was nothing left to try. She was sent home. No more appointments. Then a friend mailed her something unusual. A sandwich bag with young green barley grass powder. And a cassette tape explaining what it was. Janet didn't know what to think. It sounded ridiculous to her. She later said she thought it might be a scam. But she tried it. Not overnight. Not all at once. Little by little... she later said she slowly started feeling more like herself again. Janet Pauly I remember hearing her story for the first time. I started thinking differently about nutrition. About food. About what p...

He Started Feeling Something Again

Image
At first, it was subtle. Easy to miss. A little more feeling in his toes. Before that, there had been nothing. The doctor tested him with a needle. He couldn't feel it. Then something slowly started changing. Not overnight. Not all at once. Enough for him to notice. So he stayed with it. And over time, more feeling came back. In his toes. In his hands. Little by little. Eventually he said: “I’ve got all the feeling back in my toes. All the feeling back in my hands. All of it.” Danie Coetzee Cape Town, South Africa This is one person's experience.
