My Healing Journey

Fast forward to 2016. Life had become extremely stressful. My eating, resting, and lifestyle habits were very unhealthy. I was at the gym trying to lose weight, particularly from my belly and waist, but couldn’t. For four years I was constantly in and out of the emergency room with chronic constipation, IBS, chronic fatigue, and high blood pressure which was often at stroke levels. My body was sending me many warning signals but I was ignorant and could not do anything about them. I could only take medicine, to attempt to manage the symptoms but was unsuccessful. Then the inevitable happened. In early 2016, I was diagnosed with stage 2 metastasizing cancer.  I prayerfully casted my cares on the Most High God; but I also did the work.   Faith without works is dead!

As I went through my healing journey, I conceptualized the DISCERN approach to health and wellness. I prayerfully applied the principles to my life and I lost over 30 pounds, stabilized my blood pressure and became stress free. Within about 9 months I was healed from breast cancer without Chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy.

You would have thought that I had learned my lesson, right? Wrong! I slid in recent years from the DISCERN Lifestyle and danced with a once more stressful life, unhealthy eating, and lack of rest.  The outcome was predictable. After about five years, the cancer returned and more viciously. I could not walk, sleep, lie, stand, sit, as I was in horrific pain. In New York, I medical tests showed that I had suffered a broken back and lost inches off my height. The doctors in Jamaica thought I was going to die. The doctors in New York thought I would be paralysed any moment. With much discipline, I returned to the DISCERN Lifestyle Path. I quit my corporate job, got rid of stressors, continued to commit to prayer, and focused exclusively on my health.

The restoration journey has progressed wonderfully. The Almighty God to whom I attribute ultimate power, is good. The doctors in Mexico and New York were superb. The DISCERN Lifestyle has been tested in my life and has been critical to support the work of my doctors. Thanks to the Almighty, I am still breathing! 

My greatest learning from this journey is that Health is a Lifestyle! Faith without works is dead. Pray fervently but take care of your mind, emotions and body. This takes discipline. The DISCERN path is an integrative wellness philosophy, which caters to the mind, emotions, spirit and body.

Having someone to support you or hold your hand during your healing journey is one of the best gifts you could ever ask for. Better yet, having someone who has been there, seen it, experienced it, learned from it and overcome it is a great blessing.
