DLynneGarner's Journal, 06 March 2012

Yesterday, I cleared out the medicine cabinet. Almost everything was out of date since at least since 2010. The only thing left is one package of out of date Benedryl, a bottle of Tylenol, and a bottle of Ibuprophen--all saved for others who might come visit, since we don't need them. PRAISE GOD!! We are medications FREE!! In the past nearly 3 years I went from taking several daily medications to taking NONE! Hubby hasn't taken a pill for any sort of symptom in at least 3 years. The only pills I take now are vitamins or food supplements to enhance nutrition, not to relieve symptoms. I'm the only one taking those; Hubby won't take anything unless I insist and I can't be with him enough to regularly dispense them, so he's not taking an sort of pill. He's depending on and believing fully in the provision and promises of God. We are healed and in great health! Thank you Jesus!

That's awesome! I bet not having to take all those pills like you did before saves a bunch of time and money!

Amen! I haven't bought a prescription drug since 2009, and I used to take 4 to 6 Aleve, plus Tylenol, daily. My prescriptions were for high blood pressure, though I can't remember the name of the drug, and birth control pills for hormones. I used a prescription nasal spray and took Zyrtec often for sinus allergies. I also occasionally had to take Imodium, Maalox or stool softeners for irritable bowel syndrome and took Benedryl or Ambien (another prescription) to help me with insomnia. Hubby used prescription allergy sprays for sinus allergies, skin creams for skin issues and statin drugs for cholesteral. He also used OTC saw palmetto for prostate problems he'd had since his late 20s and Ibuprofen for migraines. But NO MORE! PTL! He's been with his new company for a year now, and we're supposed to have the works as far as insurance, but we haven't needed anything. We've saved nearly $7000 in a HSA from his last company and I'm thinking about having laser hair removal done on my face (a vanity thing). Or maybe I'll have one of those Lifestyle lifts when more of this weight is gone?! Otherwise, the only reason we'd need the money is in case of an accident, because though we're healed of disorders, we're still both capable of injuring ourselves. Or being injured by others-though thanks to Jesus the likelihood of others hurting us is minor and recovery is guaranteed. PTL! There's nothing special about us. The good news (aka: Gospel) is that this could be true for anyone!!
