GULF COAST DETOX PROJECT RESULTS

PROVIDING THE GIFT OF LIFE

Dear Merv,

In April 2010 an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico releasing more than 280 million gallons of oil into the water. In efforts to disperse it, more than 2 million gallons of chemicals were sprayed over the area. The combination of the massive amount of oil and chemicals in the Gulf of Mexico have had devastating effects on residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Texas.

To provide help, the IAS funded a grant to deliver LRH’s Detoxification program. Published below is a success story from one of the many people who completed the program and she wanted to let IAS members know just what this meant to her and her family.

“I am a shrimp boat captain from southeastern Louisiana. One morning before the sun had risen, I put my nets down. After 15 minutes I asked my husband to check what we were catching. He told me we had nothing. In all my years on the water I have never pulled up the nets and had nothing in them. No fish, no crabs, no shrimp, nothing.

While inspecting the situation my husband shook the net and water went all over me. Right away I began itching and burning. I showered and hoped that would be the end of it. Little did I know my health problems had just begun.

I immediately had a headache like someone was stabbing me in the top of the head with a knife, and I began vomiting without warning. My heartbeats were out of control, and I had chest pain so bad that I felt like I was going to have a heart attack at any moment. Within 24 hours I was on the floor of my cabin having a convulsion. This was the worst experience I ever had in my life. I thought for sure I would die that night.

My health got progressively worse over the next year and a half. I had constant bloody diarrhea, hair falling out, swollen glands, overwhelming fatigue, muscle spasms, crawling skin, vision and hearing loss, blood in my urine and bleeding from my ears and breasts.

I became a prisoner in my own body. I lost my ability to remember anything, to the point of feeling l was an Alzheimer’s patient. My foot was paralyzed and numb. I was dragging it and stumbling over it as I walked.

I came to the conclusion that this was the end and started making final arrangements for when I was gone.

One day I received a message letting me know help was being offered to me by the Gulf Coast Detox Project.

I was so happy, I began to cry. I was almost dead with no hope of recovery and now I was being given the chance to get better and to live. I immediately called the Gulf Coast Project and also informed the staff that my husband and grandson had been on the boat with me and were sick also. We were welcomed with open arms.

To my amazement, my symptoms began to disappear within a week of being in the sauna. I wiped brown-colored sweat from my body for several days. I was walking faster than I had in years and began gaining some weight back. My vision and hearing improved. One symptom after another disappeared as if they were never there in the first place.

My husband who had been vomiting every day for over a year began feeling better. His energy came back. His mood became much more pleasant. Before long he was ready to get back to work.

My seven year old grandson is also doing great. He is sleeping peacefully now. He stopped complaining of chest pain and headaches. He began running and dancing again. His concentration and mental clarity are amazing. Thanks to this program he is now off of all ADD medicine.

I want all of you to know just how thankful I am for your help. This program has surely given me my life back. I know I would be dead by now instead of writing this letter to tell all of you how well I am.

Words can never express how grateful I am for the gift you have given me and my family. I always knew there were people who helped those less fortunate, but I never thought I would be so blessed to receive the best gift ever. That gift is life. My life!”
