As most of you are aware, I have never been one to lean on traditional medicine. While I respect its place, my heart has always been drawn to the healing wisdom found in nature and Scripture. I believe wholeheartedly that God, in His infinite wisdom, placed everything we need on this earth to live vibrant, healthy lives—just as the early Bible characters did.
Genesis reminds us of this truth: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” — Genesis 1:29, KJV
This verse isn’t just poetic—it’s foundational. It affirms that the earth itself is a divine pharmacy, rich with healing foods, herbs, and nutrients. That’s why my family and I choose to work with a functional doctor who honors this philosophy. We embrace whole foods, targeted supplements, and therapies that support the body’s natural design.
A New Chapter: Writing My Book on Biblical Holistic Healing
With encouragement from my sister, I’ve begun writing my newest book—a deep dive into the Bible and holistic healing. It’s a labor of love and faith, and I hope to have it ready for the publisher by early 2026. This book will explore how Scripture aligns with modern functional medicine, and how ancient wisdom can guide us toward vibrant health today.
From the long lives of Methuselah (969 years!) to Moses (120 years, with his eyesight undimmed), the Bible is filled with examples of longevity and vitality. “And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.” — Deuteronomy 34:7, KJV
What was their secret? I believe it was a life lived in alignment with God’s design—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
Healthy Food and Snacks
After exploring various dietary approaches—including Keto and Vegetarian plans like the Daniel Diet—we ultimately found our home in the Carnivore lifestyle. Each plan had its merits, but Carnivore aligned most seamlessly with our personal convictions, daily rhythms, and long-term health goals.
Unlike other diets that left us chasing snacks or craving carbs, Carnivore brought a sense of deep satisfaction and simplicity. By focusing on nutrient-dense animal foods, we’ve eliminated the constant hunger and temptation that often come with processed foods, especially those lurking in restaurant menus and fast-food chains. Our meals are satisfying, clean, and free from the additives and sugars that so often derail wellness.
One of the most transformative shifts we made was eliminating seed oils entirely. We now cook exclusively with olive oil and real butter—natural fats that have stood the test of time and tradition. This decision has been a game-changer for our energy, digestion, and overall vitality. The difference is undeniable, and we consider it one of the wisest health choices we’ve ever made.
Our journey toward holistic health is rooted in both faith and function. We believe that honoring the body with clean, God-given foods is not only wise—it’s biblical. As we continue to learn and grow, we’re grateful for the clarity and strength this lifestyle provides.
Our diet consists primarily of rib eye steaks, bacon, and eggs, along with snacks like baked pumpkin seeds. We are very conscious of exactly how things are cooked and what has been added to them. Most of our food comes from local farms, grass-fed beef, and raw milk
(non-pasteurized). Yes, it is a little more expensive up front but, in the end, cheaper because we desire less food and rarely eat out.
Ozone Therapy: A Modern Tool with Ancient Echoes
One therapy I’ve personally embraced and plan to feature in the book is ozone therapy. It’s a powerful, natural treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O₃) to stimulate healing, detoxify the body, and enhance oxygen utilization. Ozone therapy has been shown to:
- Boost immune function
- Improve mitochondrial energy production
- Reduce inflammation (this is where most pain resides)
- Destroy pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi
- Support detoxification and lymphatic flow
It’s fascinating how something as simple as oxygen—God’s breath of life—can be harnessed to restore balance and vitality. “The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” — Job 33:4, KJV. In many ways, ozone therapy is a modern reflection of divine wisdom. It’s science catching up to Scripture, echoing the truth that healing often comes not from synthetic interventions, but from the very breath of life itself.
When used wisely and prayerfully, therapies like this remind us that faith and function are not opposites—they are partners. God gave us the tools, and it’s up to us to steward them well.
Why Not Traditional Medicine?
Let’s pause and consider the reality of modern healthcare. In today’s system, where time is limited and profit often drives decisions, why would a conventional doctor take the time to truly investigate the root cause of our illness—when prescribing a pill is faster, easier, and more profitable? The unfortunate truth is that many practitioners are trained to manage symptoms, not to heal the whole person. A quick prescription keeps us coming back, whether to the clinic or the hospital, creating a cycle of dependency rather than restoration.
But healing—true healing—requires more than symptom suppression. It demands curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to look deeper. That’s why functional and holistic medicine resonates so strongly with me. It seeks to understand the “why” behind the illness, not just the “what.”
There are countless natural therapies that have shown promise, even in the face of serious conditions like cancer. When caught early and treated with the right combination of nutrition, detoxification, immune support, and spiritual alignment, the body can often do what it was divinely designed to do: heal.
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” — Proverbs 17:22, KJV
This verse reminds us that healing is multifaceted. It’s physical, emotional, and spiritual. And when we honor all three, we open the door to restoration that goes far beyond what a pill can offer.
Case Study: A Journey from Diagnosis to Divine Healing
Name: Sarah M. Age: 52 Condition: Early-stage breast cancer Approach: Functional medicine, nutritional therapy, ozone therapy, spiritual alignment
Sarah was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer during a routine checkup. Rather than immediately opting for conventional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, she chose to explore holistic options under the guidance of a functional doctor. Her decision was rooted in faith and a desire to treat the whole person—not just the disease.
Her healing protocol included:
- Nutritional therapy: A strict Carnivore-based diet rich in grass-fed meats, bone broth, and organ meats, eliminating sugar, seed oils, and processed foods.
- Supplementation: High-dose vitamin C, medicinal mushrooms, and targeted herbal extracts known for immune modulation.
- Ozone therapy: Weekly IV ozone (autohemotherapy) sessions to oxygenate tissues, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification.
- Spiritual practices: Daily prayer, Scripture meditation, and emotional healing work to release fear and cultivate peace.
Over the course of six months, Sarah’s tumor markers dropped significantly. Her energy returned, her sleep improved, and her scans showed no progression. Her oncologist was stunned—but Sarah wasn’t. She knew that healing was possible when the body, mind, and spirit are aligned with God’s design.
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…” — Malachi 4:2, KJV
Sarah’s story is a testament to what can happen when we choose faith over fear, and function over pharmaceuticals. It’s not about rejecting medicine—it’s about reclaiming the wisdom God already gave us.
Case Study: A Journey from Diagnosis to Unfortunate Circumstance
Name: Greg R. Age: 62 Condition: Stage 4 Lung Cancer Approach: Nutritional Therapy, Ivermectin, and high dose vitamin C
This was my brother-in-law, who came to live with us when he was diagnosed because he did not want to go through traditional cancer treatment. When he arrived on our doorstep, he could barely walk and became extremely tired after just a few steps. He was talking a little but slurred and it wore him out. He would not eat and was basically ready to die. We started him immediately on Ivermectin, supplements, and nutritional meals.
After about three weeks, he was up and around walking and talking. Actually, happy to be up and engaging with us again. He was talking about going home to be with his family. Unfortunately, he began to have severe chest pains, which is where traditional medicine had to take over.
Although he had no heart condition or issue, the doctor talked him into discontinuing the treatment and go to traditional cancer treatment, against our plan but he was still a strong believer in medicine, so he chose chemo and radiation.
He did one round of treatment (3 weeks) and got re-checked by doctor. The doctor called us in and could not explain how after just one round of treatment that the lung cancer had stopped-only a shell of dead tissue around his lung. (Remember he was stage 4) He was released from treatment and told he could return home. He lived 15 hours away driving or an hour and a half flight. Since we could not leave to take him home, we chose to have him fly.
We got him all packed and ready and drove him to the airport. His flight left about 11am and he was there and ready to go. He was actually pretty excited about going home. He had made massive improvement in six weeks from the ready to die person on our doorstep, to the happy and exuberant person returning home.
I wish this were the end of the story, but unfortunately, I cannot say that. Around noon, just one hour into the flight, we received a call that his plane had to divert and dropped him in Cincinnati. He had died on the plane from a dislodged aneurism due to pressure changes on the plane. Not the happy ending we hoped for, but at least we knew now that our methods worked.
Looking Ahead
This journey is just beginning. Writing this book will take time, prayer, and research, but I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and lived. I want to empower others to see that healing isn’t just about medicine or Big Pharma—it’s about faith, food, and functional wisdom.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” — 3 John 1:2, KJV
Thank you for walking this path with me. Stay tuned for updates and may your own healing journey be guided by grace and truth.
Disclaimer: I AM NOT a doctor, nor have I been trained in any medicinal field. The information that I disseminate both through this blog and my book are to educate others to possibilities outside of the traditional doctor, nor do I speak badly about any doctor who was trained through the traditional system. But I do hope and pray that this will give others pause to make them take the time to do the research needed to make decisions that are best for them.
