John, I am really pleased for your good news as I have prayed since you told us of your illness that the Lord would bring a natural food cure so that you didn't have to depend on drugs to stay alive. I also think that the trials which are drugs are not the way the Lord wants you to go. Satan didn't want you in the trial until you were given the good news of trying the natural way which I firmly believe is God's provision to us. Now that you are responding to healing in this way, suddenly Satan is offering you a place as he doesn't want you alive & well. So don't be misguided into thinking that joining the trial is the way to go. We all know that Big Pharma is only interested in keeping us alive until we run out of money & are so sick that we are of no use to anyone.

I too, am suddenly having health issues with my eyes, upshot is that it was the Lord's way of showing me that I was not the healthy person I thought I was as had not my eyes been affected first, I would have had a stroke. So I am now on HBP tablets to lower my blood pressure, not something I am happy about, however I also found out that my numbers were going up again for my low thyroid which I had taken to treating myself as I couldn't find a doctor who would treat me naturally.

My daughter had taken me to her doctor & a miracle!! He believes in natural remedies & so has placed me on porcine extract which is what I wanted to go on 10 years ago, so the Lord has blessed me out of this whole situation. I am at present waiting for my eyes to heal from the microvascular cranial nerve palsy, so that I can have cataract surgery. Sadly they also found macular degeneration as well.

I had been taking special liquid natural medicine under my tongue for years now but haven't been able to purchase it since the beginning of the year & 6 weeks later all this blew up. Now I am praying that once I get my thyroid under control, that the numbers will drop low enough for me to FINALLY start to lose weight, also that my stomach issues will heal & my liver start to function better, not to mention that my internal furnace will kick in & that I won't feel so cold all the time.

I have Hashimotos but there are those who say you can heal it with the correct medication & diet, so we shall see!! It would be nice as I am super sensitive to gluten these days & so reacting badly when I have any even in the smallest amounts by accident.

Hi Louise,

I'm so sorry that you are having these issues. I came down with Hashimoto's a long time ago, and it completely destroyed my thyroid gland, which is why I'm on full replacement. I know that some claim that you can go into remission from Hashimoto's, but I don't know of any who have been successful.

And, I'm sorry about these other issues. This is a difficult burden, but I'm glad that you seem to have a path forward.

I'm afraid that the EGCg/Green Tea Extract isn't the panacea that you might think. It did great damage to my digestive system and getting back on it will be a difficult challenge.

As for whether Satan is involved in this drug trial choice, remember that if we have truly committed our way to the Lord, He will direct our path. I have done that. I promised God that I would follow whatever He puts in front of me. And, He has done that. If this drug trial is not what He wants me to do, I trust God that He will cause me to fail the initial acceptance phase.

Remember that we do not need to worry about what Satan is doing. I live right next door to someone whose profession is being demon possessed and making others demon possessed. I walk among literal followers of the most demonic forces you can imagine, and I need not fear any of them. The only one that I need to fear and follow is God, and to trust that if we make a wrong turn as we seek to serve Him, He will nudge us back on to the right path.

I committed my way to God 50 years ago, and He has taken me through the Valley of the Shadow of Death many times. But, He has never left me. He has been faithful in all things, and I know that I do not need to fear anything. I merely need to do my very best to serve Him.

I pray that God will guide you through these difficult times. The last few years have been the worst of my own life, and they aren't over yet. But, God has given me a measure of peace to hold onto. And, I hope that God does the same for you.

Keep committing your way to the Lord, Louise. He will see you through.

Yours in Christ,

John Little

Thank you John, for your well wishes. I know that my time is in His hands. April was the month I responded to the call of the Holy Spirit on my life 60 years ago - I wonder where the time has flown... My life has been much like Christian in Pilgrims Progress which is probably my most favourite well read book but I listen to Zac Poonen these days on youtube telling the story as my eyes are no longer upto reading the book. Actually finding him a few years ago helped me to truly understand what the book was all about as the old English was always hard to understand.

In regards to my thyroid issues I had to stop taking the synthroid 10 years ago as it was causing me more harm than good. I couldn't find a doctor who would treat me with porcine extract until now & so the Lord is blessing me as so far all is going well & hopefully when I have my next lot of blood testing done it will show that things are working well & that the number is coming down & that at long last I have found a doctor who understands that not everyone is okay on drugs. I am not his first patient as he suggested the treatment & said that one of his other patients also reacted badly to synthroid but is doing well on the porcine. I suffered from low thyroid issues from my early 20s but was always told by the medical profession that I was too young & that it was my imagination!! So I wasn't properly diagnosed until I was in my mid 50s & even then it was I who through doing my own research found out that I actually had hashimotos which was confirmed by a blood test. My doctors thought that I was just a typical woman imagining things but I had been getting sick after eating for a number of years & it was getting worse. These days I have a very bad reaction if I inadvertently have gluten in my food.

I am also very happy & thankful as this morning I was able to open my right eye & walk about with both eyes open, although my focus was still way out of focus & so to read the computer to check my inbox, I have to close my right eye. I had a text yesterday from my son saying that he was picking me up on Saturday morning to take me out for mother's day [as it is on Sunday], so I am pleased that the eye has opened today, [as my family find it off putting to talk to me with one eye shut.] My son knows nothing about my health issues as he stopped communicating with me nearly 7 years ago (for about the third time). He turned 50 last October & suddenly invited me over for lunch on Christmas eve & now mother's day, so it will test my blood pressure. (smiling!) Actually I am not dwelling on it as it turned out okay at Christmas with even my d-in-law making conversation with me!! So I expect it will go fine again this time as well.

We are living in strange & unpredictable times that most of us never imagined life would be like but my happy thought each day is "Well thankfully God is in Control so nothing will happen without His permission" backed up by Psalm 121. The Lord neither slumbers or sleeps... He is such a wonderful heavenly Father!!! So blessings to you & Mrs Little - you are often in my prayers as I follow the earthquakes happening each day & Taiwan seems to be a regular of late.

May God continue to bless you and guide your way, Louise. My mom, who is 82 has been on the Armour Thyroid for many years, since she also has trouble with synthroid. Lucky for me that I'm okay with it.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is common in my family, so I was able to get a somewhat early diagnosis. But, not quite early enough to save my thyroid.

Again, God bless you, Louise.

Hi John I made a donation to you a few weeks ago but it still hasn't shown up on my statement and I'm wondering why

Hi Carol,

Thank you for wanting to donate. It is a blessing that this your desire. And, I pray that all who do donate are blessed by God for doing so.

I'm not sure what happened. The only link that you can donate through is PayPal, when you click the link that says "Keep this ministry alive with a donation."

If you clicked a substack link, it might be one of those "I'm ready to commit x amount to a subscription." Substack does that, but I'm not ready to add a subscription feature, yet.

Sorry for the problem. Let me know if you figure it out, so that I can tell others what the problem is.

Again, bless you Carol for this desire to help the ministry keep going.

Yours in Christ,

John Little

Hi John,

yes i did read somewhere that you had to turn on something for my donation to go through. Thanks for letting me that you aren't ready to add that feature. I do not have pay pal, i do better with having less technology, it drives me crazy. My son has pay pal so I'm thinking i could donate that way. I will do that next month as this months budget for donations has been met.

Also I'm praising God with you on your good news regarding the drop in cancer cells, and for your trust and confidence in Him! Our hearts and flesh certainly do fail but the Lord is the strength of our lives and our portion forever. I don't know how people manage without Him. I'm grateful for your life and Mrs Little.
