A reminder that God is always good

Resilient
/
Andrea Thompson

If you’re like me, you have probably found yourself asking how a good God could allow suffering in a believer’s life.  Have you ever caught yourself wishing for the “good old days?” I am sure I am not the only one who has thought this.  The truth of the matter is, if we had the chance to travel back to another time, we would find the same problems and trials that confront you and me now also existed back then.  Trials come no matter who you are or what you do.

I have been through some pretty intense trials in my life where I have suffered greatly.  However, as I look back I can say with all confidence that suffering prepares us in a variety of ways.  Here are some of the lessons I felt compelled to share:

  • Pressure creates strength: I learned that pressure from the outside creates strength on the inside. We can see this from a practical example like weight training. When we add resistance and weight to our workouts, it puts pressure on our muscles.  The muscle then breaks down and becomes weak, however in the recovery, the muscle then becomes stronger. The human heart is extremely resilient and is able to overcome pain when given the tools to do so.  If you find yourself walking through the fire, keep heart by knowing you will only come out stronger.
  • God fights for us: In Exodus 14:14, the Israelites were under great oppression and they were quickly losing hope that they could ever be free. Moses assured them by saying, “The Lord will fight for you.  You need only to be still.”  The beauty of God is that He does not expect us to walk through the battlefield alone.  Yes, we will have to take the necessary steps to freedom, however He is gracious enough to walk beside us. We are to place our fears on the alter of God and allow Him to handle our hurts.  Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do while in battle is to just be still in the presence of God.
  • Let go of control: Trials that go beyond our ability of control prove to us that we simply are not powerful, but that God is.  Maybe today you are facing a time of suffering and you think the emotional pain is more than you can bear, or perhaps you are dealing with a series of disappointments. Instead of becoming fearful (that is what the devil wants you to be), I want you to soak in what the preacher Charles Spurgeon wrote: “God knows that soldiers are to be made in battle; they are not to be grown in peaceful times.  We may grow the stuff of which soldiers are made; but warriors are really educated by the smell of powder, in the midst of whizzing bullets and roaring cannonades. Is He not developing in you the qualities of the soldier by throwing you into the very heat of battle, and should you not use every application to come off a conqueror?”

You have three choices here.  You can continue to deny reality and wish for the “good ol’ days,” you can choose to take on the battles all on your own, or you can embrace the journey and ask God to walk along and guide you.  My greatest breakthrough came when I realized that I needed a Savior, someone who is greater than I could ever aspire to me and I allowed Him into the journey with me.  That is where I found my greatest victory.

And one amazing thing that often gets overlooked when people talk about suffering and setbacks, and it’s something we can learn from the story of Job in the Old Testament of the Bible…

God restores lost things! Whether it’s a lost relationship, lost dreams, lost resources or loss from health…whatever it may be, bring it back to God and ask Him to restore it for you.

In Job’s case, God gave him double what he had before.

He really is a good God…

Thank you for signing up to get connected with us for the latest news and updates. Go to your email now and confirm your sign-up. Please be sure to check your spam and junk mail folders if you don't see the email right away.

FOLLOW UP

Your blood changes about every 4 months in response to your environment, diet, emotions, travel etc. so following up with Dr. Hilu is important.

When he will need to reanalyze your blood will depend on his findings and the protocol you receive. He will not ask you to retest before 4 months and may recommend a follow up in 6, 8 or even 12 months.

Following up is a crucial part of the process since it is how Dr. Hilu and his team track your progress and update your protocol accordingly.

The last page of your results will include when to retest but you will also receive an email reminder. You will then order a follow up kit the same way as your first test.

Your follow up results will include:

  • The percentage of improvement in the areas listed in your first results
  • Any new findings that need to be addressed
  • An updated treatment plan/protocol

SUPPORT

Once Dr. Hilu analyzes your blood, you will be considered one of his patients and the clinic will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Our team of Personal Health Instructors are also available for hire if you feel it would be beneficial for you to speak with a health coach. Your Personal Health Instructor can help interpret your cellular analysis results and provide answers and tools to help you implement your protocol.

This includes:

  • Going through your results one line item at a time explaining Dr. Hilu’s findings. Helping to identify a theme in Dr. Hilu’s findings and highlight some potential root causes (dietary, stress, physical exercise etc).
  • Providing practical recommendations of changes  you can make in your everyday routine that support the protocol and its effectiveness. Without making these lifestyle changes, the supplements will only be so effective.
  • Thoroughly explaining Dr. Hilu’s recommendations and treatment plan and simplifying what your daily routine will look like.
  • Spending as much time as you are willing to address some of the emotional stressors that could be hindering healing and supporting you with tools that you can use to alleviate them.
  • A thorough follow up email after your consultation with all of the links to the suggested supplements (it is very important to use high quality and ethically sourced supplements), PDF food/recipe recommendations and other recommendations that are specific to you.

You can learn more about consultations here

TREATMENT PLAN

Your treatment plan will include a list of specific supplements you should purchase along with instructions on how to take each product and for how long.

Other potential recommended treatments may include:

  • Therapies
  • Detoxes
  • Cleanses
  • In more severe cases, receiving on-site treatment at Dr. Hilu’s clinic in Marbella, Spain

RECOMMENDATIONS

Under “Recommendations” in your results, Dr. Hilu and his team will list lifestyle changes you should make in order to maximize the effectiveness of your treatment plan.

It is crucial to address every area in order to see the results you are looking for.

Some examples include:

  • Certain foods or food groups to avoid or minimize
  • Specific foods to add to your diet
  • Detox suggestions
  • Tips to address eating habits
  • Potential sensitivities to avoid/address (nickel, emf, humidity, toxins, etc.)
  • Exercise suggestions if applicable
  • Tips to improve mental/emotional health
  • Tips to address environmental factors
  • Dental suggestions if applicable
  • Tips for reducing stress and stressors

And much more according to Dr. Hilu’s findings…

Dr. Hilu’s Findings

Your results will include a complete list of all the abnormalities and imbalances Dr. Hilu found in your blood (does not include numbers or levels).

It is difficult to give a list of specific details you will receive in your results since every test differs from person to person depending on what Dr. Hilu sees in their cells.

You can find a list below of some of the things that he can see:

  • Permeability of the cell
  • If oxygen is getting into the cells
  • Every organ and organ system in the body
  • Vitamin deficiency or if a person is producing too much and not eliminating certain nutrients
  • Metallic and chemical toxicity
  • How cells are communicating with each other or not
  • Abnormalities or diseases with no name or origin
  • Oxidation stress which would hinder biological years
  • Imbalance of hormones but not specific levels or numbers
  • Everything about the immune system including any imbalances or infections
  • If you have food intolerances (not full panel test)
  • Joint and tissue degeneration
  • Inflammation
  • Lymphatic system/circulatory system
  • Digestion/enzyme production
  • Fats and proteins digestion
  • Vacuolization due to past or present infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal)
