Turn your pain into your gain – Part 2

Emotional
/
Andrea Thompson

How you respond to pain will make all the difference in your life. 

Another way to say it is this “Outlook determines outcome and attitude determines action.”

So in my pre-relationship with Jesus days; I personally was not one to take pain killers in the form of pills, but I certainly had “pain killers!”

What were my pain killers and hey maybe some of mine are yours and you will be able to relate with me: men, attention, being sick and my twisted way of thinking was they would feel sorry for me and they would become my night in shining armor, playing the victim, money, and material things. All were my so called, “pain-killers.”

I was desperate for attention and I remember saying to myself, “I will do whatever it takes to get someone to notice me and love me. No matter what I tried to do, whether change my physical appearance, my personality, compromise my moral and values(what I had of them.)

Realized no matter how pathetic my pit was… nothing changed. Everything stayed the same, still was treated awful, they didn’t change and the pain only got worse over the years… 

Then I learned after quite some time that the “pain of staying the same is way more painful that the pain of change.” Until we become so sick and tired of being sick and tired we will not make a change. Are you tired of being sick and tired?

There is no special formula of how we can choose to get out of our pity party: But I have found as I continue to listen to so many stories of women who finally had enough, there was a common denominator we all had; It was that pivotal point, that AHA moment when we choose not to be a victim of pain and to live in victory. For me it was when… The day I went to church with the ex-wife

The night I chose to leave and never look back… no matter what! That was March 1, 2007 and you know what I have never looked back!

Jesus made me realize that the freedom from pain was worth more than holding onto all the hurtful things people said or did to me…Worth more than any shame or guilt the enemy put on me, worth more than any horrible thing I could think or speak over my own self. 

The Bible says something really powerful in 2Corinthians 12:8-9, that is vital to lay hold of in your heart and mind:

”Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness.” 

I guarantee I pleaded with God more than 3 times to take it out of my body… I know you know what I mean. You’ve been there, ask God over and over to take your situation or circumstance away.

I have come to know that God will answer you with one of two responses:

  1. He will remove it
  2. He will give you the grace and strength to walk through it. Even when Heisn’t even on yourradar! Like me when I was being gang raped.

I know you are probably wondering how in the world did I get through that one! Not easily but I came out of it fully restored. And this is where I want to take you through a few of the things I have done to walk through my pain with grace and strength that God has given me. I have learned I can handle anything with God’s help. 

When you and I rely on the sustaining grace of God during a painful time in our lives, whether right after it happens or years later when your heart is ready to heal. You will demonstrate a spirit that is so sweet and catching to others as well.

Joyce Meyer says, “You can be pitiful or powerful but you can’t be both.”

And that my friend, is why outlook determines outcome.

Let’s keep having the right outlook…even on the difficult days.

It’s worth it. I promise.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for being so honest.
    I went from being shamed, & emotionally & verbally abused my whole marriage, nothing about “me” mattered & I coped with that ignorantly. After 40 yrs of this God set me free from it but what I now realize is that somewhere in all this I have a victim mentality & im wondering how do you find balance in all this.
    My life went from one extreme to the other.
    I don’t want to have a victim mentality & I want balance in my life. I’m constantly in the Word but I’ve hit a wall with this. Can you help or give some advice?

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
