I've recently married a man who has been dreadfully unhealthy.
 
It was a big surprise to me!  If I had choreographed my own 
experience of falling in love, I would have carefully chosen 
a vibrantly healthy man.  As it is, my new husband looks to be 
quite healthy and strong.  He earns our living in the woods as 
a logger...and he does his logging all by hand.  He thins out 
the underbrush, the unsightly trees, burns the debris, rakes 
the fine sticks off the forest floor, and neatens up the creeks, 
all with hand tools and chain saws.  He's terrifically strong 
and good looking. 
 
But, come to find out, he's fed his body coffee and sugary 
foods, with a few boxed goods and chicken sandwiches.  So, 
even though he looks strong and healthy, he's been in poor 
condition.  His diseases and ailments include: borderline 
diabetes, headaches, painful GOUT, arthritis, frayed tendons 
in his shoulders, extreme tiredness, 50 broken bones in his 
lifetime, shooting pains and general pain, blocked kidneys, 
indigestion going up and indigestion going down, as well as 
abnormal brainwaves.
 
I never suspected, as I was dancing into the wee hours with this 
handsome and lively man that he was dancing under the influence 
of pain medications.  Little by little, it all came to light.
 
I admire my new husband because of his strength of heart.
 
His name is Dave, this man whom I admire.  He's fought through 
his pain to keep doing the work he loves; and he shows his 
strength of heart in other ways as well.  He's a man who 
doesn't give up.  He is also able to change his thinking if 
it has proven to be harmful.  In the past month that we've been 
married, Dave has given up coffee and most sugar.  He's amiably 
sat alongside me at the dining table and eaten whatever I've 
set before him.  He now eats vegetables and he drinks vegetable 
juice daily.  He also joins me in eating a home ground flax seed 
cereal every morning.  He binges on addicting treats less and 
less frequently, not even mentioning them like he used to.  He 
has replaced his grocery store bread and grocery store peanut 
butter and honey with a heavy duty spelt bread, home ground 
almond butter, and raw local honey.  I think he's a champ!  
He thinks my kind of food is surprisingly tasty. 
 
We eat a diet that includes wild meat and home grown meat, 
grains, vegetables and fruit and homemade desserts using 
stevia, date sugar, and raw honey for sweetening.  We love to 
eat and we enjoy our mealtimes together.  We pray before eating 
and are sincerely thankful for food that brings us to health 
and strength.  I love to hear Dave pray.

Dave's symptoms are disappearing.
 
Yes, I'm glad to be able to tell you that Dave's body is 
responding quickly.  He must have a terrifically strong genetic 
heritage.  We've noticed that his energy level is up and he 
smiles more; he doesn't have constant pain, although he does 
still have sudden pains here and there and specific pains after 
a hard day's work.  He doesn't pop anti-acid tablets or pain 
killers like he used to; nor does he have the same severe 
malfunctionings in his systems of elimination.  Basically, Dave 
is more comfortable and happier than before.  And he can dance 
very well because his toes that used to be terrifically swollen 
and painful have reduced in size by half and have become 
flexible again!  Dave is an avid supporter of Young Living 
supplements and essential oils.  He's honestly surprised to 
realize his symptoms of ill health are disappearing.

Here are the supplements and oils we're using for Dave.

Every morning he takes Detoxyme, a high-powered enzyme complex 
that cleans his blood of all the toxins we're stirring up.  He 
also takes a capsule of Oregano Oil internally to deal with the 
fungus and unwanted microbes in his blood.  At night Dave 
takes Alkalime to make his body alkaline instead of acidic.  
(Most of us should use Alkalime.)  Right before sleeping, Dave 
gets a body massage using the Young Living Essential Oils 
(Frankincense Oil for overall ease of symptoms and general 
well-being; PanAway oil blend for severe pain; and Peace and 
Calming oil blend).  I use Ortho Sport  Massage Oil as the 
carrier oil because he's prone to muscular soreness.  I feather 
and spread and massage deeply along his upper arms (frayed 
tendons), his spine as well as his whole back, the inside of 
his knees, his toes and feet and ankles, and finally any other 
area of need.  He doesn't complain of headaches anymore, but I 
used to apply Peppermint to his head at the hairline.  And we 
ALWAYS apply two or three drops of Peppermint to the corner of 
his pillowcase.  We have to. 

You see, Dave snores and snorts and roars loudly.  He has about 
4 different kinds of sleep disorders, self-diagnosed, but very, 
very real.  And Peppermint Oil has worked miraculously through 
his sense of smell.  Somehow his brain is eased and his 
breathing patterns are eased and I can ease into a good sleep 
too.  It's a funny story, but it's serious too.  Sleep is 
important.

If you know anyone who has severe sleeping disorders and is 
considering sleep therapy, please refer them to this website 
and this information.  The therapeutic Peppermint Oil produced 
by Young Living will stop snoring.  It has worked for my new 
husband Dave!

We've been happily married one whole month.  Before that we had 
a very short courtship.  As Dave says, "I've known Dianne for 
forty years, but I just met her six months ago."

I want you to know I'm quite serious when I invite you to

I think it's important to realize people on the Internet are 
real, live people.
