MY LEUKEMIA STORY by Patti Miner

I have to admit that I don’t go to the doctor very much. I’ve always had the mindset ‘Don’t fix it unless it’s broke” haha

I’m only telling this as MY story and you may use any of my information that you believe will help you. I believe that everyone should research and get dr advice and pray about what they should do.

A few years ago I went in to get a routine physical because I was extremely tired all the time.

My white blood cell count was up to 145 (It’s suppose to be 11) and the doctor wanted me to go to an oncologist for it was surely cancer in his professional opinion. And Yes, I believed him, but I had been down this road with some family members and I wanted to handle it with diet…so I researched everything nutrition and started my healthy diet. I told the doctor that if I couldn’t fix this with diet in 3-4 months that I would do his entire protocol.

Four months later, I had lots of energy and felt great and I went in for another Complete Blood Panel test and my numbers were all perfect. I was a little anemic, but I had been a little anemic my whole life and I knew the diet changes I needed to fix that…and I had lost the weight around my mid-section so I was happy.

Well, thinking that I had “healed or cured” my problem…I stayed on my diet for the next year or so but eventually went off my diet and ate everything for the Holiday season and beyond…by January I was tired again and by May I was so fatigued. By the way, there is a big difference between TIRED (feeling exhausted after a busy day or lack of sleep or food) and FATIGUE (feeling so hollow inside that you can hardly lift your arms and legs or your head off the pillow)

So I went to the Wellness Clinic for an even more complete blood test. My Wellness doctor usually receives the results and tells me the specific reason and what supplements to take and foods to eat.  She called me back and told me to go to the Emergency room or at least my primary care doctor right away. I went to my primary care doctor and he read my labs and told me to go immediately to the emergency room. He couldn’t believe I was up walking around and still looked good.

I went to the emergency room and they looked  at the labs and started a blood transfusion right away and gave me 3 units (they normally only give 1 unit)

My white blood cell count was up to 245 meaning that what I call fake white blood cells were overpowering my system…so much that it was squeezing out my red blood cells which were only 3  (normal is 12-18) and my immune white cells were only 91 (normal is 4400) that is why cancer patients are so susceptible to catch viral or bacterial infections.

I realize now that I will need to be on my diet for the rest of my life.

Here is my diet that I have studied, decided and prayed on.

You can study, consult with professionals, use your free agency to make a decision and pray about that decision and listen to your heart for the things that you should be doing for your health also. In my experience and according to scripture-the Lord will respect your free agency to study and make a decision…then when you go to Him for validation he will give you a ‘Yes’ (burning in your bosom and flow of ideas) or ‘No’ (stupor of thought and confusion)

PATTI MINER DIET

First off I always start the day with PRAYER and continually talk to Father in Heaven throughout the day.

I always read SCRIPTURES to be in the mindset to receive answers to my prayers.

I try to surround myself with POSITIVE music, media, friends and family. I love to sing and teach others to sing so I have a full singing course for the price of one lesson.       www.Singing-Lesson.com

I try to exercise everyday and sweat 2-3 times a week. I alternate walking, lifting light weights and stretching at home as well as playing tennis 2 times a week with a group that doesn’t’ mind if I get fatigued and have to quit early.

These are also included in MY DIET…
