Praying for all my friends in my network today dealing with health problems. Healthcare is such an enormous problem not only in Belize but in many countries in the world.

Father God for all believers that are sick we ask you to apply the healing blood of Jesus and we invoke the scriptures above in their life. For those that are out of line with God we pray for them to come into alignment so they can experience fullness of your cleansing blood and healing and for those that do not know you we ask you to extend grace and snatch them from the hands of the great deceiver who comes to kill, steal and destroy. We also ask you to send an army of angels to fight for all who are sick and raise them to health and turn them into powerful warriors for Christ.
In Jesus name. Amen.
Here is my testimony.
I guess it is time to share a bit of my testimony. In August of 2019 I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in my womb and online research showed that 60 percent of people died within a year and 100 percent died within 5 years. It has been 4 years and I am still cancer free and I did no chemo, no radiation and I declined the hysterectomy. I did 5 surgeries and also did extensive fasting and prayer and herbal remedies.
In 2022 I was exposed to a lot of environmental destruction next to my house and I thought maybe the cancer had come back and gone into my lungs. I was hospitalized 3 times and nearly died and could not afford the medications that I needed or private care so again I fasted and prayed and after 9 months of being sick the infections finally went away and another biopsy again showed that I was still cancer free so it was not from the cancer…it was most certainly from the illegal environmental destruction next to my home. I could not afford to move so for 9 months I endured 9 hours a day of construction that put things into my lungs making me very very sick and I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis from that (not from the cancer) and told that it is irreversible.
In July of 2023 I found a lump in my breast. Womb cancer rarely if ever spreads to the breast but due to the size of the lump (5cm) and a history of breast cancer in my family as well as my own history of cancer an excisional biopsy was ordered and they found an 11 cm lump and a 13 cm lump and a whole lot of necrotic (dead) tissue. I had no injury to my breast and have had no children to breastfeed so infection from mastitis was unlikely. The doctor removed about 1/3 of my left breast and sent it for biopsy. When I found the lump I immediately started my fasting and prayer regime again and 30 days after surgery the results came back benign but it was impossible to explain why 1/3 of my breast was necrotic (I strongly suspect the environmental destruction next to my home). Due to the lung problems they cannot put me fully under so I could hear everything the doctor was saying during surgery and I could feel a bit of the cutting which is pretty scary.
Anyway, for those that are interested my fasting and prayer regime was as follows:
3 days water fast with herb cleansers
10 days of 18 hours a day of fasting and only eat foods on the Daniel fast and take immune building herbs
1 day off to eat whatever I wanted
Then start the same routine all over until the test results were clean or God told me to stop.
I spent hours and hours and hours in the word of God an in fact completed seminary courses online during this process. I did NOT find that I could count on others to fast or pray for me or support me consistently so I had to just patch together whatever support system I could manage which was very limited.
My herbs were collected straight from the jungles of Belize and included 21 different herbs and roots and barks. I did not use the same ones each time but asked the Holy Spirit to show me what to take each day. I sometimes consumed them straight and sometimes with teas. Here is a link to SOME of them. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=tallartist…
I had an amazing team of doctors from Belize and USA who advised me well and answered the hundreds of questions I had with patience and responded to texts quickly.
I was anointed with oil by a very sincere believer but unfortunately she later died of cancer…
I have previously posted the herbal remedies I used however I will have to dig up those posts with pictures of the plants and roots.
I am very tired from all the surgeries (it takes me 3 months to recover and I have had 6 since 2019) and also I lost everything I own in Hurricane Lisa and I am still very much suffering from the permanent lung damage from the illegal environmental destruction next to my home for 9 months in 2022 and some days are very hard but at least I am cancer free and I attribute that to God. Praise Jesus for healing me. I pray that I will get justice for what was done to my lungs and that God will also heal that but right now it can be pretty hard to even go up a flight of stairs.
As a result of all of this trauma and more I have complex PTSD or Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I have 0 patience for people. I am not even going to apologize for that because I cannot control being sick and I have fought this fight alone for the most part with almost no support on top of losing everything in Hurricane Lisa. I am thankful for the 14 people who stepped up and gave resources to help me get the surgeries and for the doctors and for the healers and I am proud of myself for continuing to minister, continuing to fight for the rights of others, continuing to work when I can and continuing to stand up for my rights and continuing to serve God in the midst of all of these attacks.
I am in need of a lawyer to take my case to court but I have no money to pay. I am also in need of a trained trauma counsellor, particularly one who specializes in EMDR and I also am in need of equipment for my business and NGO that was destroyed in Hurricane Lisa (6 computers, 2 printers and lots of prototype products destroyed). I would also like someone to donate farmland with a house in Belize so I can eventually cultivate and propagate the remedies I used and even set them up for export so others can benefit.
I was propagating all of the medicinal herbs and plants that helped me to heal but the neighbor doing the environmental destruction built the earth many feet high next to my house so everytime it rained the mud slid into my yard and home killing my medicine. Satan is very very busy. I had hiked miles into the jungle to get some of those plant starts and they were very important to my health and as of today I have not been able to replace the medicinal plants he destroyed and my lungs certainly can’t be replaced. I tried to efile in supreme court and my case was deleted 5 times from the system and they refused to take my filing fees. Corruption is king in Belize.
Anyway, I know my enemies would be so happy if I just died and went away but Jesus has other plans and they better learn that right now. If I can continue to fight corruption under great duress then there is no reason for me to stop now. Praise Jesus for giving me the strength to continue to not only fight for me but for others.
That is tallawalla in the picture. Polypodium Aureum. I used many parts of that plant.
PS. I am working on a book with all the plants and diet and fasting and prayer practices etc but it is only in very rough draft form at this point.
Here are some of the herbs I used.

Satan has tried to kill me so many times I have lost count but I don’t look too dead.
