Mining for gold

Resilient
/
Andrea Thompson

I will never forget a field trip I went on as a kid where one of the activities was panning for gold. 

As we stood in a line at the large tin trough, we were excited because we just knew our pans full of dirt and soot just had to have some gold. 

We sifted it, swirled it and shook it around trying to discover the gold. It was a painstakingly slow process of removing all the dirt and allowing the gold to settle to the bottom.

As I was living in “the basement” for two years of my life, I realized God wanted me to see the gold He created in me. He was allowing all the dirt in my life to be shaken off, like bitterness I had towards my failed relationships, the false identity I received from men, harmful words I had spoken over myself and the negative things others had spoken over me, and my obsession with my appearance. 

I could go on, but He knew I needed a good swirling, sifting, and shaking to get to my gold.

Trust me, I didn’t like this process at first, but as I look back, I see how necessary it was and how much of my true self was hidden under so much muck and mire.

Our Creator wants to help us grow into all we were meant to be. 

In these seasons of removing the dirt to discover the gold, it might be a more self-focused season. 

Sometimes it’s so intense you don’t have capacity for much else and that is ok. You definitely can’t stay there, but for a season it is good to allow the Lord to work as intensely as He wants.

He processes different things at different points in our lives because He knows us best. It’s up to us to submit to the process and allow the gold to come forth.

As painful as the season initially felt, it was where I first learned what true love looked and felt like. During this intense season, I was almost 40 years old with two darling children, divorced, and had a boyfriend shortly after my divorce.

There was a place in my heart that was created for Love Himself, God. Until I found that, all the other “things in the world” would not give me the satisfaction that I needed.

The love I was looking for all my life was right in front of me. It came from a place I never suspected, but it was as real as anything I can imagine.

It just took a little sifting and patience to find the gold.

And it has totally been worth it.

Where do you think you can find the gold in your current season?

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
