Transcript from A Healing Seminar by Pastor henry Wright

1 1 Transcript from A Healing Seminar by Pastor henry Wright My sister introduced me to Pastor henry Wright 's teaching ministry in November 1998. She is a member of Wycliffe and attended the Seminar in Waxhaw, North Carolina in July 1998. After studying Scripture and applying the principles that were taught in the Seminar , previously diagnosed tumors disappeared in her body. In February 1997, I injured my neck in an accident. I had severe pain in my right arm and shoulder that began about S days after the accident. I went to a doctor and did physical therapy for a couple weeks and the pain went away. However, throughout that summer my arm was not right. It seemed weak at times and my balance was off.

2 In October 1997, the severe pain and muscle cramps returned in my right arm and shoulder. I went back to the doctor, tried more physical therapy and had no success. From October through December I went to several doctors and tried every therapy you could imagine, including acupuncture. In early December, a surgeon sent me for a MRI on my shoulder; it was negative. He gave me some pain pills and told me to come back in 6 weeks if it still hurt. However, he was too busy with the "end of the year" rush to deal with me. The pain continued and atrophy began in my arm and shoulder. I was really getting scared. I tried to get an appointment with several local neurosurgeons, but was told there was at least a one-month backlog of patients.

3 One of the receptionists suggested that I, see a neurologist who could. do an electrical conduction test to find .nerve damage. I was desperate and willing to do anything. I needed a referral, so I lied and gave the name of a doctor that I had seen previously for this problem. The doctor did the test and found that the nerve from the 7th cervical vertebrae was damaged. She sent me for a MRI on my neck. It showed that I had 3 disks that were ruptured or fragmented and was putting severe pressure on my spinal cord and on a nerve going down my right arm. I was lucky not to be paralyzed. Now, what would I do? To say the least I was very scared. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the disks.

4 Which surgeon should I choose? What were the longterm side effects from this kind of surgery? I started to try to get appointments and talk to several doctors. In the mean time my arm was getting weaker and the atrophy more pronounced every day. The specialist told me that I would never regain the full use of my right arm. My fears continued to grow. Believe me when I say there are quacks that call themselves doctors. You need to be very careful. I was prayed for and was anointed by the elders in my local church, but I was not healed. On January 21, 1998 I had the recommended surgery..The surgeon removed the three damaged disks and fused the vertebrae with bone taken from my hip. I was in the hospital 2 for three days.

5 When I got home I found that I could not sit in my easy chair. It seemed to make me nervous and I hurt every place that touched the chair. As time went on, my fingers and toes would bum. The muscles in my hands and arms and feet and legs would cramp. I lost feeling in the tips of my fingers, my feet would get numb, and the sides of my legs would also get numb. I went back to the surgeon. He examined me, and took more xrays, but could not find anything wrong. In April I had another MRI on my neck. The surgeon again could not find anything that would cause my symptoms. I seemed to be getting worse. I got more scared when we could not find out what was happening to me. I could not sleep because of fear and pain.

6 The doctor's only help was to give me drugs to dull the pain and to cover up the problems. When I read about the side effects from the drugs, I quit taking them. I have never been so sick and so scared. One doctor thought I had something called arachnoiditis. A couple days before surgery I underwent a mylogram where a contrast dye was injected into the spinal cord, and then x-rays and a CAT scan were done. The dye can cause arachnoiditis. Arachnoiditis is the inflammation of the arachnoid layer of the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord. Basically a person becomes paralyzed from the point of inflammation. My fear level again multiplied . In late April I went to a neurologist.

7 She examined me and told me that I probably had something called peripheral neuropathy, and ordered a bunch of tests. I made the mistake of looking up peripheral neuropathy on the Internet. The symptoms and prognosis are very similar to MS. Needless to say my fear factor again increased and I felt worse. A fiend took me to her Pastor where they laid hands on me and prayed, but again I was not healed. In early June 1998, I went to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. After 3 days of very painful and expensive testing they confirmed what they called small fiber-neuropathy. The small nerves in my hands and feet were dying, but they were not able to determine the cause. Their only treatment involved more drugs with horrible side effects.

8 I was scared and willing to try anything, so I began to see alternative doctors and practitioners. I tried many different remedies and treatments. In August, I began to notice that sometimes the pain in my feet would stop at the top of my socks. So I started to buy different socks. I must have bought 50 different pairs, but it did not help. I started to look at what they were made of, and the only common fabric was nylon. I had myself tested to see if I was allergic to it. I was. This started me down the road of learning that I was allergic to almost 100 different foods and fabrics. I was even allergic to my own saliva. It was these allergies that were causing the numbness, the cramping, the stomachaches, and the nerve damage.

9 I was relieved to know about the allergies, but wondered what was causing them? Medical doctors' only answer for allergies is to avoid the allergen; they do not know the cause. I live in Alaska and it is cold. How do I avoid almost every fabric and so many foods and still stay alive? It is also very difficult to identify what you are allergic to. 3 Allergies become complex as combinations of foods or fabrics become new allergens. Naturopathic doctors and other alternative health practitioners have allergy elimination treatments that do help. However, after learning the true cause of allergies from Pastor Wright 's teachings, I understand while these treatments do help, they are not the answer.

10 They do not deal with the true root of the problem, which is spiritual rather than physical. In early December 1998, I received the tapes that have been transcribed into this teaching. The profile for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Environmental Illness taught by Pastor Wright described me to the proverbial "tee". As I studied through the material, my eyes were opened to the true cause of my disease. My eyes were opened to a God who does truly love me. My earthly father is much too busy and self-centered to have time for me. I have tried very hard over the years to gain his acceptance and love with little or no success. I have related to my Heavenly Father in much the same way.
