When your doctor gives you instructions for your health, listen up. If he starts predicting your fate, tell him that¹s none of his business.

Whether you will be healed is decided in a heavenly court by your Maker. The limitations of medical science haven¹t the slightest influence. Your job and your doctor¹s job is only to allow that blessing of life to enter into the everyday world in an everyday way.

If you ignore the need for this blessing to come into our world by natural means, and demand instead a supernatural miracle, you are shirking your responsibility. You are abandoning the earthly realm you were placed within to purify. You are disassociating the human act of healing from the Divine, declaring it foreign to G-d¹s purpose. The blessing too may run away, seeing it has no door to enter.

But if you do whatever you can to prepare your world to receive this blessing -- there is no shortage of means for the Healer of All Flesh to send His healing.

healing
almost 1 1/2 years ago, my son, a police officer, was in a very serious motorcycle accident. he had: 8 broken ribs, both lungs punctured, lacerated liver & kidneys, crushed shoulder, crushed femur, 4 fractured vertebrae & to top it all off, he suffered 2 heart attacks in the ER. we were told by his attending doctors that he would not live & that we should start making funeral arrangements. my son suffered considerably through the 1 1/2 years but i'm happy to say that g-d had a different agenda. he is alive & well & looking forward to his 10th & final surgery after which, he will recover & go back to the job he loves...helping people as a police officer. so, you see, the docs {though very well trained} don't always have the last word. i hope that this is not too long but i must bear witness to the power of our g-d.

I am going to send this to a friend who was recently told that he "has 3-4 months to live."

Fortunately he has a deep and abiding belief in G-d, along with a little humor!

He expressed that he was given 1 month to live 16 years ago and that 3 months ought to give him 48 years.

healing
A pain in my chest would not go away, & worse if I lie down, so I slept on the sofa. Not enough air; after a week, my boss suggested pleurisy. I reported it in Pain thread here.

Told my nutritionist. Told me stuff to take to help the body get O2. Also went to a dr., who said there was no infection & he had no remedy to offer. & I prayed, alone and in with a friend. & I wrote it here on Pain thread. A month w/o enough air.

One night in a dream I floated in the wall opposite the sofa and saw 3 Hasidic rabbis come out of the wall--not thru a door-- wearing shining white gold-embroidered robes. They went to "me" on the sofa & blessed me. The pain lessened; next night I could sleep in my bed, but still could only stand for 1 minute max. At work I sat.

In a week I dreamt I sat on the bed & 1 rabbi came to say I was well. I woke & could breathe & stand up again.

A gift!

It was an allergic reaction to the insecticide sprayed during work by the exterminator.

emuna
once again emmuna(sp?) is the principly by which we live and move and have our being. So important to live each moment in "G-d as...everything" as opposed to "G-d and ...this or that" which would be worshiping false idols. thanks for the refresher.

G_d is still in the healing business
Yes my friends, G-d is still in the healing business. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, if I accept a curse from a medical professional, I would ask myself how would this person fare if I said the same to them? Is it true or is there another who has more knowledge? We all make mistakes. What ever happened to the Hippocratic Oath or the Nightingale pledge to do no harm? Isn't a better life more important than money?
