When I was seven years old I had rheumatic fever with a reoccurrence of it at the age of sixteen. It left me with a damaged heart valve and at that time I was put on mega doses of penicillin shots every three weeks. The Medical doctors said I would have to take them the rest of my life. Also at this time I was put on a thyroid medication. After twenty years of being on the penicillin shots the same doctor decided I needed to quit taking them for fear I would get pneumonia or some other infection and nothing would help. They tried putting me on allergy shots before they took me off of the penicillin, to build up my immune system, but it didn’t help.

When I quit taking the penicillin I didn’t have any immune system left. It was at this time I started going to alternative doctors. I had gone to different alternative doctors for about twenty-one years, but never had gotten completely well. Four and a half years ago I dehydrated and was in a coma for fifteen hours, which left me with a breathing problem. A friend of mine who goes to CPH told me about them, and three and one-half years ago I started going there. They found out I had Lyme disease. Now because of all the things I’ve learned to do to take care of myself, following what Cornerstone tells me to do, eating the right kind of foods and exercising regularly I am off of all prescription medication, including the thyroid medication I had been on for 42 years. My sore throats and sinus problems are gone. They can’t hear a heart murmur on me any more and my heart no longer flutters or skips a beat.

Praise God for Cornerstone Progressive Health and all of its staff. ~ L.J.
