The Gift of Herbs

Disclaimer: The information on this page is not meant to diagnose, promise cures or direct your course of action in the quest for healing. And some of these wonderful herbs have not been evaluated by the FDA. Please ALWAYS check with your doctor!!! Have a beautiful day!

With that said I personally have been witness to amazing healing not only in my own life but the lives of others including some of my animals, through the use of herbs along with proper nutrition and healthy life-styles including physical, emotional and spiritually healthy choises.
 Cheryl GIdding - Herbs

In 1996 I was diagnosed with MCTD. That stands for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. Basically I was very ill and had a cross-over of Systemic Lupus, Scleroderma and Raynauds. Later Sjogrens was also added to the list. I was placed on several medications and told there was no cure. In fact - I was left on my own to find out what these things were truly all about and in the process discovered that some 'experts' said my life-span may well decrease - others said no it would not. What was I to believe?

Three years later, due to unexpected, and rather unpleasent circumtances, I had the opportunity to make some radical changes in my life. I isolated myself for almost 3 months. I realize that not everyone can or should do that - I am only sharing what I did, please know that.

During that time I began to read about healing in my 'Bible'. Not knowing who YHWH was at the time or His Name, I just started reading. I also, due to a very limited budget during that time, was forced to change my eating habits. I also found myself sleeping almost 9-10 hours every night. On top of that since I had no vehicle, it was necessary to walk back and forth to the store almost daily for my food supplies. Even though I was active and working on a large acreage cattle ranch - the act of just walking for long periods was not a 'daily' thing for me - until then. 

So in three short months I changed my diet, changed my sleep habits and changed my excercize routine. Over and above all of this that I changed, I also was free of stress - for the most part - for that time. The results were stunning. I came home thinner, healthier, and having stopped taking all medications.

Now I MUST caution STRONGLY at this time. Just becuase I was able to get away with stopping my medications on my own without a doctors supervision does not mean it was the smartest way to go nor do I EVER recommend a person suddenly drop medications without a doctors supervision. Doing so can cause harm to the body - sometimes with devastating effects. So it is with great care I share this with you.

But as for me - I was out of state and had no funds nor insurance in that state for medications anyway, I had no choice. And I survived. PLEASE ALWAYS check with your doctor first! And don't stop there ladies, please do the research from more than one reliable source also. :)

Well - that experience was the beginning of many changes for me and I have not stopped. In fact - almost 3 years ago I ended up flat on my back with a back injury that came both from harm to the physical body and harm to the emotional body which manifested in chronic physical pain over time. But there I lay, in bed, for six months. In my search for answers to this problem, I enrolled in the Global College for Natural Medicine. Since then I have earned my Herbalist Certification and am currently working towards my HHP Lisence. With this knowledge in hand I began to apply it to all areas of my life and the lives of my husband and animals also.

I would now like to share some of those results with you before moving on to the herbs themselves. As for me it has now been 15 years since the diagnosis of MCTD and blood work just recently (because I always keep an eye on it - which we should do) there is no sign of disease or inflammation. I praise YHWH for that - it is He who directed me to HIS foods and herbs and ways of healing. 

So I went from extremely ill to excellent health. Again - and this is important ladies - This is not praise to me - it is praise to YHWH for giving us so many wonderful healing herbs and foods.

Another example is our little mini-dashound. Sadly we lost him a few months back but not before we saw a miraculous healing take place. He became ill over a year ago and was diagnosed with liver cancer. Our veterinarian opened him up to see if there was anything he could do surgery wise for him. But within a minute, closed him up. He handed him to me that day, a day I will never forget, and said, "Cheryl, his liver is one giant ball of cancer. Take him home and enjoy him. He has a maximum of MAYBE three months left - if that."

So I took him home in tears, laid him on the couch, placed my hand over his liver and prayed in the Name of YHWH for His healing. This little dog had great value to my husband and I for many reasons. I then changed his diet to whole foods, prepared each day by hand by me; and put him on some healing herbs for his liver such as 'Milk Thistle' and other herbs. Three months later I took him in for a check-up.

The veterinarian whom I have known for over 20 years, was stunned and also praising our Creator; and the word spread. They named him The Miracle Dog. There was no sign of cancer, his liver looked completely healthy and was back to its normal size. He lived for another year - a full and healthy and happy playful life. Unfortunately he was quite old and his kidneys failed recently and we lost him. But I saw with my own eyes how he went from having maybe three months, to perfectly healthy and no cancer simply by changing his diet and giving him specific herbs.

My husband also has seen results in the changes he has made in the past 3 years. Ours are not the only stories of success by natural YHWH given means.

When my dad became ill a few years back the doctor watching over him recommended we 'let him die'. She claimed he had dementia, and it would only get worse - and the battle for my dad's life began. And I mean a great battle. As much as my mother and I tried to tell the doctor and nurses at the facility that he did 'not' have dementia and that his 'back was broken from a fall he had taken - they did not believe us and in fact the so called 'doctor' told us we were being 'cruel' trying to help him. It was an outrage to say the least.

Well - praise YHWH after a huge battle - and I do mean a battle (the system, the doctor, the nurses, and much more) they relented and sent him to the emergency room. It was immediately seen that the vicodin they had him on was causing the so-called dementia and they gave him something to counteract it. They also saw his x-rays and his broken back. After a stay in the hospitol for a few weeks recovering - my dad was able to go home, now parylized from the previously poor 'doctor' care - but with a healthy and clear mind.

He lived for another year with my mother on their farm. Between my mother, my self and my sisters dad was placed on many healing herbs and nutrients giving him laughter and quality of life to the end. During that last year he also came to know the name of YHWH and I was able to hold his hand and pray with him and hold him as he took his final breath.

Many miracles took place that last year of his life that he, nor I, nor the rest of my family would have ever known had we just relented and allowed 'that' doctor to feed him vicodin until he died. I share this with you as a testimont to NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!! Some argued that he only lived a year so and questioned me... "was the battle and stress and pain to all of us worth it?

ABSOLUTELY
and I would do it again in a heart beat!!! I miss him but I have such peace knowing the details of what took place and the peace in my dad's heart in his final moments. And the quality of life he had in that last year being on healthy nutrients instead of being drugged and out of his mind on opiats. Love ya dad! Thank you YHWH!

So, with that lets get to some basic information about herbs. This pdf is not all inclusive of herbs on this planet, nor of the many uses each herbs offers us. But rather I have compiled a short list of herbs across the spectrum and have given 'very' brief information on each.

Please also know that while no cure is promised - at the least what you 'might' find is that you feel better, have more energy, less pain and more good health in general. YHWH is the Creator of these things and He created them for our good health!

Most herbs do not interact in a negative way with pharmacueticals - but some do. So one must be cautious. Please click here > 'Gift of Herbs'
