Michael Experiences Restoration Through the Eight Laws of Health
I came to the Hartland Lifestyle Education Center with diabetes and heart disease. I had high blood pressure, poor circulation, and angina.
Twelve years ago I went to the hospital with chest pains. That’s when they found that I had diabetes. They did an angioplasty, but three months later the pain came back. In May 1992 they did a quintuple bypass surgery, and they told me that the surgical corrections would hold for ten years. I went back to my sedentary lifestyle and bad diet, and I was depending on my medications to keep me well.
When I first came to the Hartland Lifestyle Education Center, I was taking nine different medications – fifteen pills – a day. That cost $168 a month. The first time I went for a walk, I had to take two nitro-glycerine tablets because of chest pains.
Now I can walk for one hour in the morning, and I exercise another hour sometime during the day – all without chest pains. I’m not taking any medications now, and I’ve lost thirteen pounds. My fingernails and toenails are pink; they used to be white because of poor circulation. I feel twenty years younger, with a lot more energy than when I came here. I’m surprised that with two meals a day – eating my last meal at 12:30 p.m. – I’m not hungry in the evening. I sleep much better at night. I go to bed at 9:00 p.m., and I wake up when the Lord wakes me up. Sometimes He wakes me up at 4:00 a.m., but I feel rested!
I was amazed that the entire staff is so loving, kind, and patient with the health guests. They’re all positive and Christ-centered. Before I came, I knew that I was going to do better physically as a result of my visit, but I’ve also been helped spiritually. I’m going to miss the peace here.
The Lord has spared my life twice for a purpose. When I go home, my wife and I are going to share the eight natural laws of health as a ministry, so that others can receive the same benefits that I received here.
