Miracle Girl

I recently was found (through FaceBook) by an old mission companion. Learning of my MS, he put me in contact with a woman in his ward that had a much more severe MS case several years ago, but has since experienced miraculous healing.

She wrote me a candid, thorough e-mail message from which I am taking new hope and adopting new therapy options. I won’t get into those now, or breach her confidence, but I really appreciated an opinion of hers that I have been unable to verbalize. With respect to the disease itself she said, “I think MS is a series of different diseases that share a diagnostic profile.” Yes! How she was affected is very different (way worse) than my challenges. The causes are different, so it follows that the cures would vary also. Although the path to restored health may be unique for each person, there are certain principles that promote health for anyone.

Her thoughts on the Word of Wisdom were profound and also pointed out a key difference between healing and curing.
