God is good

Last May 29, I decided to see a doctor regarding a lump in my right breast. I first noticed the thing in December 2007 but I got caught in a web of activities in school, church and business. So, zoom in at the Healthlink clinic with me and my friend, Bannie sitting at the receiving room waiting for the surgeon. I was not really at worried at all. I had a lumpectomy 20 years ago when I was still single and the lump was benign, it was a fibrocyst. I knew the new thing would not be much of a problem.

Dr. Crislie Crispin Agullana is a cheerful doctor who was my former high school student. Imagine, he is 5 years my junior but now, he is my doctor. I was hesitant to let him examine me at first but my friend Bannie assured me it would be a breeze. When Dr. Cris sat down to tell me that he suspected invasive breast carcinoma, I immediately uttered, "I rebuke that in Jesus' name!" He must have kept silent for a few seconds then went on to explain to me that he thought of the possibility because an occurence of a growth after 20 years would lead to that. Again I rebuked it and I continue to rebuke that everyday.

I wanted to cry, but I kept a strong front holding on to the thought that God is my healer. Dr. Cris told me to take in...LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL and I was surprised because that is one product my husband, Anthony ,and I have been endorsing and distributing for around 3 years now under Synergy Worldwide! I must have been a li'l stubborn for not taking Liquid Chlorophyll as religiously as my husband does. He would be drinking lots of it everyday while I would be downing liters of Coca-Cola from morning till evening. And now, I feel like God has knocked into my consciousness what a silly thing to pass up the chance to be healthy with what he has gifted us...LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL. Dr. Chris told me to have 2 tablespoonfuls of LC with one glass of lukewarm water 3 times a day. I left the clinic, half smiling, half worried. When I got home, I stayed in the bedroom, talked to God and cried for more time on earth. My brain wheezed from visions of doing all the things I want, the ministry which Anthony and I are in, my family, my career as a teacher,journalist and broadcaster and dreaded what the future holds for me. But then, I held my Bible and looked for my prayer book and recited the Bible verses for divine healing. My mind rested after praying and I dozed off. Later, I woke up and found myself crying and telling my husband about the surgeon's findings. He led us in prayer and he told me everything would be okay. My man is really God's man.

And so, I spent the succeeding days surfing websites about the big C (I don't even want to spell it out because I want to totally shut it out of my system) and ravaging foodie books to find out which fruits/vegetables would best benefit me. Dr. Crislie said NO COKE(!), no coffee, no noodles, no tea, no white sugar...no almost everything. I managed to list down an agreeable list of what to eat and drink. And YES, I drank my LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL religiously. Four days after my first consultation with Dr. Cris, I went back to him with my husband. Guess what...he happily told me,"Congratulations Ma'am, the lump has shrunk from 3 by 5 to 1.0 by 1.5!" Praise God! God is my healer! God continually drives away my infirmities. And I want others to have the same faith. I also continue to drink LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL so the lump will be gone. By Jesus' stripes, I am healed.
