REFLECTIONS OF AN EX-CHRONIC FATIGUE (C.F.S./M.E.) SUFFERER.

ONSET/TRIGGERS: Easter time 1995, I came down with a viral illness,
which put me in bed for about 8 days. A full series of blood tests
could only tell me what I did not have! My energy/stamina levels
never fully recovered after that illness, although at the time, it
didn't really occur to me. Initially, I though I was just getting
old! (At 29 yrs) Slowly, my lack of energy became frustratingly
worse.

In July 1997, chicken pox put me in bed for about 10 days. My
digestive system never completely recovered, with irritable bowel
syndrome setting in. At the time, I was on holidays, but chose to
resign from work, mainly due to my health. I struggled to do some
part time work for 3 months, but had to give it up in April 1998,
because I was not coping. I have not been working since.

During this time, several very stressful events took place in my
life, including the birth of our first child in September 1995, who
was eventually diagnosed with a rare, degenerative, genetic, muscle
and brain disorder. Without a doubt, this long-term stressful
environment was another trigger for my susceptibility to C.F.S.

Between May and November 1994, I had the series of 3 hepatitis B
vaccinations, due to work place risks. Although I can't prove it,
nor would most medical professionals support the idea, I have no
doubt this was another trigger. In talking with other C.F.S.
sufferers, many had a vaccination or vaccinations in the months
leading up to the initial onset of their condition or they had a
major relapse after a vaccination.

LIVING WITH C.F.S.: (if it can be called living!) Going along to the
local C.F.S. support group for the first 3 to 4 times, was very
informative and encouraging. It was good to discover I wasn't the
only person struggling to find an understanding doctor, who was
prepared to do anything, after endless rounds of blood tests, etc,
etc, didn't reveal anything significant. It was also good to find a
comprehensive lending library of very informative books, tapes and
videos. Depressing though many of the discoveries I made were, there
is still a real liberation in understanding exactly what you are
dealing with. Taking away the fear of the unknown in the early
visits to the support group lifted off a huge emotional burden for
me. It gave me more resources to cope with the strange symptoms I
was struggling with - (which included in basic order of severity of
debility: fatigue/weakness - breathing was a real effort some days,
light headedness/dizziness, muscle pain (fibromyalgia) -esp. upper
legs, fairly constant headaches, joint pain-esp. ankles, wrists &
fingers, unable to sleep or unrefreshing sleep, night sweats, sore
throat or ears, churning painful stomach & associated diarrhoea-esp.
at night, hot flushed face feeling, itchy gritty eyes, sweaty feeling
around the eyes, cold sore feet - no matter what the temperature of
the day or how much I covered them up, "brain fog"/confusion/poor
short term memory, etc, etc!!)

For a long time, I felt if I strictly followed a very healthy diet,
(avoid/eliminate the 5 "whites"- salt, sugar, dairy products, white
flour products & all animal fats/products - aim for 80% raw fruit and
vegetable diet, while drinking plenty of clean water and vegetable
juices-esp. carrot http://hacres.com) I would beat this condition.
Dietary changes initially helped, (esp. getting off dairy products-
tests latter revealed that I was lactose intolerant) but the
improvement was not sustained, and I became emotionally obsessive
about what I did or didn't put in my mouth, which was counter
productive. While very important, diet was not the source of my
healing. I also tried many different (often expensive!!) vitamins,
minerals, supplements, natural remedies, etc, etc. with no
significant improvements. I got to the stage where I refused to try
a new product, unless I heard first hand from another C.F.S. sufferer
whom I knew, that they had gained sustained improvement from it.

As the weeks rolled into months and then years, I found going along
to the support group frustrating and depressing. Sharing with
others, all struggling with similar aches and pains, and NO REAL
SOLUTIONS, WAS NOT HELPING ME. I needed to become part of a support
group with many people who had recovered from the condition. Those
people seemed few and far between, which is a depressing statement in
itself, and a reflection of the nature of the condition. Generally,
people who had recovered, were out LIVING LIFE, and wanted to put
space between themselves and C.F.S.


FREEDOM/RELEASE: I now find myself an EX-C.F.S. sufferer. (PRAISE
GOD!!) I
have known the fear of being curled up in a foetal position in bed
all day, with intense muscle pain (fibromyalgia) from head to toe,
and the strongest dose of painkiller in the house, only just taking
the edge off it. Sitting still in a cold bath of water for 10 mins,
several times a day did provide some relief to the intense muscle
pain. Extraction of wisdom teeth is the only worse pain I have
experienced. However, it was localised to my head, and I knew it
would end when the gum healed. I have known the strain on our
marriage, as my wife struggled with the frustration of having to
cuddle up to a slimy, sweaty husband for months, who was often too
weak to even return a decent hug. My heartfelt desire in sharing the
story of how I was released from C.F.S. is that it may assist others
to find a pathway of healing from this debilitating illness. I have
no desire to be controversial, but must share the TRUTH of how God
set me free.

On Saturday the 5th of June 1999, I attended a seminar on the
cults/occult, and in particular, freemasonry. At the end of that
night, there was a time of corporate prayer, out loud, specifically
renouncing the generational curses that come about as a result of the
oaths taken in Masonic rituals. (I have never been a mason and have
rejected becoming involved, however, I understand at least 3
generations of my forefathers have been masons.) At the end of that
night, God through his Holy Spirit did some MAJOR SURGERY in my
life. Since that night, all the major symptoms of C.F.S. in my body
have ceased! For a day or 2 after that night, I had a deep "healing
pain" in my bones - (interestingly one of the main sources of the
immune system).

Two days later, I went on a 4-day break with my wife (planned months
before), during which we walked 4 to 5 kilometres per day. I had
rarely walked with my wife, for years before that, and would have to
turn back early, if I did. I had to be careful and not over do
things for a while, as I at times, still struggled with tiredness.
My muscles were occasionally sore and stiff, due to the shock of
extra use, after years of inactivity. I still occasionally struggled
with digestive problems, but this has now normalized. In over 6
years since that night, I have had one relapse (when all the symptoms
of C.F.S. returned, for 2 days in bed), from which I received
release, by prayerfully renouncing Masonic curses in a similar way to
the night of my original healing. Having been out of the workforce
for nearly 3 years, I still have some emotional struggles in the area
of confidence to overcome. My stamina/energy levels have now
returned to pre 1995 levels, and I am currently completing a primary
school teaching degree, as well as being the primary carer for my
disabled son.

C.F.S. is a very perplexing and multifaceted illness. I believe its
causes include environmental (pollution/ chemical sensitivity),
physical (viral/dietary), emotional (long term stress/grief), medical
(vaccinations), and spiritual issues (generational curses through
occult involvement), to name some. There are many readily accessible
resources about all but the last of these. Unlike native/indigenous
peoples, our "western world, rational thinking mindset", has
difficulty accepting that physical harm can result from negative
spiritual involvement, in the form of generational curses. We hear a
lot in the medical field, about people being genetically predisposed
to a certain illness or disease, including C.F.S. (eg several members
of a family with the same non-contagious illness). I believe in many
(NOT ALL) cases, there is a spiritual predisposition, in the form of
a generational curse at the root of that genetic predisposition.
Unless these generational curses are renounced and cut off, then
there is a "freedom" for diseases to continue to manifest down a
generational line.

My challenge to you is to prayerfully consider your spiritual
heritage, and seek out people and resources, to assist you with any
issues, which may be keeping you in ill health. By all means,
continue to pursue all possible issues that may be causing your
illness, but don't spend lots of money and time pursuing others,
while ignoring/neglecting the spiritual. If in many cases, C.F.S. is
spiritually rooted, we should not find it surprising that medical
science is finding the mysteries of the illness hard to unravel, by
the testing of physical body specimens.

Through the hardest months of my illness, I declared I would widely
promote and sell anything that gave me SUSTAINED release from C.F.S.
I promote to you the healing power of Jesus Christ, through the
renouncing of generational curses. I can't however sell it to you,
because it will not cost you anything!!

struggling with C.F.S. or fibromyalgia, to whom you feel comfortable
doing so. They need all the POSITIVE news they can get!

Some months after my healing, I met another lady who had been
battling C.F.S for 17 years (she had been president of the local
C.F.S. support group in New Zealand), who was completely set free in
a similar way, for the same reason as I was.

Another lady from our local church who has been battling C.F.S. for
13 years, recently received significant healing in a similar way, and
is now able to regularly attend church, after having not been able
to, for many years.
