Well I found myself tearing up with you a bit through out the video. And I've seen literally thousands of CZcams videos and you are the only one I've seen that prayed for me at the end. Thank you!
Good morning I had looked up on CZcams about your dad‘s way he takes food as a devotional to God and I wanted to find out more and I picked a podcast that he was on with the Luskos. They spoke about you I went to look you up. The first thing I see is this video and I have been dealing with a chronic illness for about four years and I kept asking what is the purpose in my pain what am I supposed to be learning and then I just find your video. God is amazing can’t wait to watch this!!
So I'm sitting here crying, I'm 22 and your story is my life. There's so many things that just checked off as how things have can gone for me. Today I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome from mono. So I'm getting emotional just there's so many parallels in how stories have happened and it gives me hope. Thank God I found your channel. Praise God for a diagnosis and the support your videos will give me.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Watching your videos encouraged me to go to the doctor and get a diagnosis. It was amazing to know that I wasn’t alone in this. When I’m having a bad day I rewatch your videos and it gives me the encouragement to keep going. Such an inspirational woman.
Wow, I so relate! Mold toxicity and EBV have caused me so many of the same issues...fibro, chronic fatigue, borderline hypothyroidism, neurological issues, allergies/mcas, etc.... I also had to leave my career and struggled with anxiety and depression. Still working on healing, but God has used it for good and will continue to. Blessings and love to you on your journey. As Paul said, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.”
I watch most of your videos while I am working and I was defintely not prepared for this, crying at my desk 😆. Your story feels so much like my own. Seriously, your vulnerability is a superpower! I found your youtube channel at a pretty dark hopeless point with my health. I was crying out to God for answers. While it wasnt physical healing, I found an entire community of people struggling with similair things through your social media. Thank you for sharing and for sowing hope!
I am happy that you are feeling better Mandy. I feel like that your prayer was for me today, the Holy Spirit send me to watch your video:-) It has been tough for me lately with my disease. I will be praying for you Mandy for a complete recovery. May God Bless You and keep the Faith until the end.
Thank you SO much for talking about embracing this illness instead of just enduring. I've heard you say that before but wasn't ready to put it into practice. But this time, I was, and this past week has been the most peaceful week since I came down with CFS five years ago. What a gift you are. 💖💞💕
So great to hear your story and my heart goes out to you. I am confident that this is a very special, although difficult, time in your life where something so good will be established and begun here. I know your videos have helped me a lot, just to know I'm not alone in my sickness and pain. Of course I don't wish chronic illness on anyone, but I have learned a lot through my own as well. Thank you for your encouragement and transparency, and for shining a light on the hope that we have in God and that is where my strength lies. Hugs and love to you, Mandy! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
This is your best video. Beautiful ❤️Jesus at the center, making all things new. I've watched you from the beginning. So happy you got the mold / CIRS piece. Most don't know. Can't wait to see how God leads you❤️
Wow Mandy, so many tears as I listened to your story. Thank you so much for sharing, and for using the things God has taught you to be an encouragement for the rest of us!
What a beautiful testimony ❤❤. I look forward to all your teachings of what you've learned. May God continue to bless you and use you to bless and heal so many others.
What A BLESSING FROM THIS YOUNG 👧 GIRL LADY I SHOULD SAY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT CAUSE I DONT REALLY HAVE ANY .GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR NEW CARRIER.I HOPE YOU WILL FIND THE 💪 STRENGTH AND THE WISDOM TO KERP UP THE GOOD WORK.TAKECARE. AND MAY THE LORE RICHLY BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO GO FORWARD WITH YOUR YOUNG SELF.THANKS AGAIN FROM A FRIEND IN CALIFORNIA🙏😀❤🌴🌞🌍🌸🌻🐺🐾🐾🌿
Thank you for sharing your journey! It is also my 3 year anniversary of lyme disease. It's been a slow journey to healing but it is encouraging to hear your story and how God is using you!
what a beautiful story mandy...so much gratitude for you right now. i have been distant from god and searching for my purpose in this season of transformation but your words of wisdom and grace have been uplifting in this video, just so inspiring. god has a beautiful future already paved for you and james. i am excited to see you continue to improve in health and grow in faith...much love to you dear! (i had no idea you were so young!)
💕💕 this encourages me so much. I’m into my 15th year of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia which began after glandular fever, or mono. Thank you for your prayers at the end. God is always in the mess with us, making it beautiful. Despite my illness, I’ve still been able to be a missionary for 13 years, had three beautiful girls, and continue to love and serve Him through it all. One day I will be fully healed! 🙏🏻🥰
Beautiful and so healing to hear. Thank you for your prayer and your vulnerability. My mission and calling are all about helping women find purpose in their pain because truly it delivers Gods greatest gifts and YOU are an amazing example of that. Cheering you on, walking with you as we’re all on the journey together until we’re Home.💗🙌🏻🙏🏻
I’m so so excited for you and your new journey! I suffer from chronic illness also and have been looking into eating healthier. You are definitely an inspiration!
Thank you so much for sharing girl! Almost two years ago I was diagnosed with mold toxicity as well my freshman year of college and it was life changing to say the least. Like you I also had health issues all my life before that indicating I was susceptible to mold (I’m also DOUBLE MTHFR) and I have CIRS, dysautonomia and PANS as well! I totally relate to your psychological symptoms I went from a happy go lucky teenager to a scared, anxious, depressed, panicked young adult at an already so confusing stage of life. God carried me through and I’m so thankful for him because he was my only light for so long. I love that you’re sharing your story and giving others someone to relate to! I share so much on my Instagram about my health but You inspired me to start my own CZcams channel! God bless you!❤️
Thank you!!! Your journey is so similar to mine but is have been diagnosed with bartonella and lyme on top of a scary almost Ms diagnosis, which they are still watching. I am almost 2 years in and have made the most minute progress through diet supplements etc. I had to give up my job too. I was always so joyful so the depression was startling. I am now seeing a new practitioner that is supposed to be amazing and I hope the bartonella treatement will help but it can make me feel even worse at times. I always was a hard worker and high IQ so to be told I am making myself this I'll countless professionals who did not take the time to get to know me has been heartbreaking. I did therapy for that. I am praying praying praying too for a way out and purpose in this pain and that I have finally found it. The fatigue and pain are unbearable now but I hope will be bearable someday. I even have heart, eye, and dizziness issues that have kept me mostly housebound. I too have double mthfr and hormone issues that I think brought this on. I had my son and just was not the same but I knew in my heart it was an infection because I had this high fever at the onset and I seriously thought I was going to die. They even thought meningitis at one point. Anyway. Sorry that was long but prayers for you too.
Hi Mandy 💕 you’re so beautiful- God’s love is clearly all around you. Thank you for having the courage to share your testimony. I believe God will continue to use you in incredible ways. Don’t give up 💛 Much love!
Mandy, I don't know if you have noticed, but the truth is setting you free. As you told your whole story, I just noticed that the more honest and vulnerable you became with God, yourself, and others, the more healing He has given you. I can so relate to this and was the same way...God has used my health struggle too to bring me to complete honesty with Him and the more I am honest, the more healing I find. It truly is the Truth that sets us free. ❤
I just found your channel and this is the first video I watched! I have been suffering with fatigue and pain for 8 years and cannot get anyone to listen to me! You give me some hope! Also, my 16 year old daughter had mono 2 years ago and has had problems ever since and we have had tests done and the dr keeps saying there is nothing wrong and it's not from her having mono! I'm so glad you are making progress with your health issues. Continued prayers for strength and healing!
I’m happy you are doing better. I would like to know what your top 10 things you did to improve so far. I’m struggling and could use some advice. I’m doing DNRS, praying a lot, eating really well, meditating and seeing an integrative medicine doc. And thank you for the prayers. Sending them back your way. God bless.
Oh my gosh I have the same exact story only I'm JUST getting this diagnosis, my doctor thought I had narcolepsy! To make things worse I just barely got my dream job so I'm on probation and because my cognitive function/I forget what I'm talking about or saying as I'm saying it I could lose everything I fought so hard for! I know mine is from mold but I can't afford to move because I'm so sick! I went from a healthy, active, workaholic to a person who can't do a full grocery trip without passing out when I get home! I'm so terrified but tired of fighting so hard just to be able to do mediocre tasks and still not being good enough!! I know God has a plan in this but I am beyond desperate for help I'd cut off my legs just to live again! I just want to live and not just be alive!! Thank you for sharing I know I'll get better I'm just holding on for dear life till I find someone who can help 😭
DEAR. FRIEND GET A BLOOD TEST DONE FROM YOUR P.C. PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR HAVE THEM CHECK YOU FOR FIBROMYALGIA.THATS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE BUT THEY WILL JUST DO A PRESS ON YOU CHECK YOUR BODY FOR SORENESS WHEN THEY CHECK SERTAIN POINTS OF PAIN ON THE BODY IT DONT HURT THEY JUST WANT TO FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE PAIN WHEN THEY DO. THE TEST. RUMATOLOGY DOCTORS CAN HELP DIAGNOSS IT.FIBRO IS MUSCLE PAIN AND BRAIN FOG CANT REMMBER THINGS FORGET FULLNESS. LACK OF SLEEP .JOINT PAINS. FIBRO FOG .THERES MANY THINGS THAT COME WITH FIBROMYALGIA.CHECK INTO IT.YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED..THATS ALOT OF AUTOIMMUNE STUFF OUT THERE. TAKE CARE BLESS YOU
Thanks for this video. I'm encouraged by your journey. I'm glad that you decided to document it. It is important for people who are going through health struggles to know that there is hope in God. Even those of us who believe can get tired of the struggle sometimes, but deep down we know that God will come through. I appreciate your prayer at the end of this video. You are so right, we need to wait for God's timing because there is something He wants to teach us in every struggle. God bless you.
Great video! A little over 5 years ago I believe i had a terrible reaction to Bactrim. My neurological system felt fried. I was diagnosed with pots, dysautonomia, and sfn. Before that i was running 3 miles every other day, lifting weights, and weighed 205. Practically instantaneously I dropped 30 pounds, and started with these symotoms. I take LDN too. Its tough avoiding dairy and gluten but i do it.. Great prayer. Hebrews 12 is a favorite verse of mine in regards to God's discipline.. God bless!
All I can say in all honesty is holy shit. I just started my channel because of my own health story and it is almost identical to yours. Infared saunas and lymphatic drainage are the only things that help me. I got mono 4 years ago and have every symptom of yours and was also diagnosed with mold toxicity AND had the exact same Lyme test experience. Going to a new doctor next week as a matter of fact because I’ve made progress but nowhere near where I need to be. I have had 5 positive mono flair ups in 5 years and have to do college online and I’m only 19. Have filmed my sit down 3 times but watching yours helped me know how I really want to organize my thoughts. Would love to talk personally some time!!!
I relate to your story so much. Thankyou for sharing. God bless you in your healing journey and may He use you to bring healing to others in Jesus Name
Thank you for sharing your story! Right now I’m beginning my journey toward healing. I’ve had a severe anxiety and a panic disorder since 2011. I can relate with never feeling like you’ll see the other side of healing. I’m pursuing a ketogenic diet and functional medicine.
Thanks so much for sharing your story! I'm so so happy you are making progress! I continually pray for you. Thanks for the prayer at the end! That meant so much! I have a rebounder, but worry it will make me feel worse as the stairs in my new house can be hard. What are your thoughts?
Thank YOU! I would start slow on the rebounder and do more of rocking movement from heel to heel, rather than actually jumping. I rarely actually jump much, because that can be exhausting! 💕
Wow I cried watching this , I am going through the same thing . Thank you for the video and prayer 🙏🏽❤️ . I am currently in your beginning stages. I don’t know where to go or what to do. Joplin, MO doesn’t have many options so I’m searching to travel farther for a holistic doctor.
Keep running the race, sister! Thank you for being transparent, it does help me to know that other people know what this is all like. I have been passionately running after God. As a teenager I started going down hill and have had many set backs over the years. I’ve had so many dreams of going hard after God’s kingdom. I think mostly I want to pray for you. God, Your grace is everything we need. Thank You that turn every one of Mandy’s struggles into good. Come against the enemy that wants to slow down brothers and sisters around the world, encourage, strengthen, and heal the ones that are ready and excited to exercise Your kingdom. God, for every attempt of the enemy, I ask for abundance in every area of Mandy’s life. God, have Your way in the healing of people, and give Your children Your wisdom and insight so we can see Your kingdom come here as it is in heaven....in Jesus’ beautiful name, so it be
Thank you for sharing your journey. You encourage me a lot. I have chronic fatigue and anxiety attacks but trust God too that He is going to turn things around. Nobody believes me but Jesus is on my side so it gives me strength. God bless! 💕🤗
Could you please give contact info for Rob, the doctor that helped you get to the root causes of your illness? I'm in Oklahoma too, and hope to perhaps pursue an appointment with him. Thanks so much for your prayers! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Have you ever been checked for hyperparathyroid disease as it has horrible symptoms of fatigue, bone pain, depression and memory issues. I can attest that I felt as though I was dying and could barely function. It is highly curable.
In 27 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year and a lot of the things you described I can TOTALLY relate too. I haven’t been diagnosed chronic fatigue but I know I have it...through this journey I TRUELY FOUND GOD, after being in bed for about 2 months and feeling the most pain and tired and depressed I had ever felt in my life I reached for my bible and BROKE DOWN, I couldn’t stop reading and learning about god, and totally get what your saying about embracing the illness... I still have my bad days which I’m sure you know what that’s like but truth is praise Jesus because I haven’t been as sick as I was when I first got sick...I honestly was in bed for almost a solid 2-3 months...I pray to god every day for healing but am always really humbled to say in the same breath “ god if healing isn’t in your plan for me please give me the strength to endure” ...he has never failed me! God bless you miss and I’m so happy I found your channel!
You won't be diagnosed with CFS if you have been diagnosed with Fibro because CFS and Fibrom are pretty much the same illness, fibro having more generalized pain than CFS. Good luck. I have CFS and pain from endometriosis and painful bladder syndrome, the pain has a source which is the difference.
🌻 You are such a beautiful shining light for Jesus!, Mandy. Thank You Lord for the amazing work You have done in Mandy's life and are still going to do. Thank You for the fantastic example she is of a life devoted to You. I ask please that you will bless and keep her every step of the way. Please Lord would you provide people to water the seeds of hope she sows in so many people's lives. Please Lord may many many people commit themselves to following You as she ministers to their needs. What a beautiful shining light she is for You, Father. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen. Love to you, Mandy! 💛
I’m working with my ND right now to address my hormonal imbalances & I’ve found out that I’m also estrogen dominant & it’s converting to testosterone giving some not so fun symptoms! Right now I’m doing seed cycling w/ fish oil & evening primrose oil, & taking a feminine hormonal rebalance supplement. Do you have any other recommendations to help balance female hormones? Thanks!! God is so clearly working in you & I cannot wait to see where He takes your NTP business!❤️❤️
I forgot to say that it is very interesting that I had mono as well, and that is when the severest of my symptoms manifested. I wonder how often this is the trigger and if it's super common for mono to set things off in our bodies. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi Mandy, I suffer from Fibromyalgia and anxiety, Adrenal Insufficiency so I need to wean off of Beaupenorphin (opiate did not know)as it as blocked my Pituitary gland to produce ACTH which in turn does not tell my Adrenal Gland to produce cortisol! So I’ve been weaning off of Beupenorphin I’m having severe withdrawals and my Pain Management Dr put me on LD Naltrexone I took my first one last night and my pulse went to 110 and loose stools(truth). May I ask why you chose LD Naltrexone??? Have you ever tried CBD as that is where I got your name?? Please help me! God Bless You🙏❤️
I love your story and channel so much, I’ve been watching for a little over a year now and I just love how you’re able to still see the bright side of things and keep your focus on God. I actually have the exact same illness (CFS). It’s crazy because that’s exactly how mine started, and at the same time too. It started as just mono and then manifested into what I have now. I’m 16, and seeing you push through and do the things that you love really encourages me to do the same. I hope you have a great day! Much love! ❤️
Mandy, Thank you for the video it was amazing absolutely emotional for me as well. While I have not experienced any health challenges, i have experienced challenges related to employment and my dads health. July 6 2018 i was laid off from my dream job and I’m asking God why? What did I do wrong? I started the job January 25,2018 and now six months later I jobless again. Unforeseen at the time was my dads health taking a tailspin. That August my dad had to have a pacemaker put in and his kidneys began to shut Down. By Christmas 2018 he had to be admitted to the hospital and placed on dialysis due to water retention. He was unable to walk and was placed in a rehabilitation center that was supposed to help him get back walking and able to function on his own. The place that was charged to help him did just the opposite. They didn’t turn him, they would not bathe him, and left him in a wheelchair for hours. Because of this he contracted necrofasing fasciitis and a stage 4 bed sore that had to be surgical removed. Dad ultimately was not able to overcome this and passed away April 29th. I write this because looking back and trusting in God, I realized He placed In this season because He new that Dad needed me. Thanks for the inspiration to preserve amidst trials and seasons of pain. I’m so happy for your progress and continue to pray for you each day. I’m mostly blessed and honored to call you friend. God Bless You Mandy
Please don't be judgemental Donald. If you've never struggled with depression, panic attacks or Chronic fatigue you probably can't imagine how it is. You are praying for healing but it doesn't always come at the time you want. My christian aunt died in cancer what literally eaten her up. But she was talking to Jesus on her death bed. She had faith but she couldn't get healed. This just something what we didn't understand but accepted. Life isn't always comprehendable for us. Try to be more emphatetic, please.
No offence, but try to ask your question in a nice way. She said in the video that she has faith in her healing and she trusts God. She is a wonderful person!
Love this! ❤️ God is so kind. Amazing story! So glad you're feeling better! I'm in Oklahoma too. I know you said the functional medicine Dr name is Rob, but can I get his website or full name? I need to go to one, just been procrastinating.
I have autoimmune disease and am still not sure whats wrong. I can relate to the fatigue and I have pain on my left side like nerve pain. I also have vitiligo on my right leg since a kid. I was told mine is fibromyalgia but I am not sure that is true. It is frustrating. Oh I also have panic attacks and PTSD. I developed a kind of choking fobia and had a lot of trouble eating with people. Panic is awful and depression. Good luck and prayers.
Hiii Mandy...how are you ? Even I am suffering from fibromyalgia... Can you tell me what is the total cost of the complete DNRS program ? Is this program really, effective 😟 IS ...PLZZZ DO REPLY 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do you still do DNRS? Do you still recommend it? Also, you mentioned birth control, did it make it worse? Was there a specific brand you stayed away from?
I’m interested in the brain retraining u mentioned. I’ve been working on my thoughts a lot and it’s been helping chronic pain and fatigue get better! What organization did u go through?
I just want to say thank you for sharing. I heard about you from Jefferson Bethke podcast episode. Your life reminds me of Romans 8:28 Also it’s encouraging that you are walking in your purpose no matter what and looking on the bright side
Are you still doin the DNRS daily? Would you still recommend it to others as being worth the $ and time investment? Thank you! and congrats on becoming a nutritionist (from a fellow nutritionist)! Welcome to the club
Not anymore! I would recommend doing functional testing to understand the root cause first, and it could potentially be an awesome add on to your protocol depending on the situation. 💕
I think I did - sorry if it wasn’t clear. Chronic fatigue syndrome, due to mold toxicity (CIRS), chemical toxicity, and chronic EBV. Those are the main factors, but there are others.
Congrats!🎊
Well I found myself tearing up with you a bit through out the video. And I've seen literally thousands of CZcams videos and you are the only one I've seen that prayed for me at the end. Thank you!

Food is medicine! Yessss! Rest is so important. What a great testimony. This resonates with me sooooooo much
Thanks so much, Emily! 😊💕

Wow, I so relate! Mold toxicity and EBV have caused me so many of the same issues...fibro, chronic fatigue, borderline hypothyroidism, neurological issues, allergies/mcas, etc....

I just want a diagnoses😫 You’re a very strong woman

Is it weird that I love when you say “welcome to today’s vlog” 🤣 the “vlog” part particularly 🤣
Hi Mandy 💕 you’re so beautiful- God’s love is clearly all around you. Thank you for having the courage to share your testimony. I believe God will continue to use you in incredible ways. Don’t give up 💛 Much love!
Thank you for the sweet message 😭💕
I suffered for 7 years ..From 06 to 13 .. i had cfs , fibromyalgia , ibs , joints damage , fibro fog etc etc ..

I'm so glad you are making progress with your health issues. Continued prayers for strength and healing!
I’m happy you are doing better. I would like to know what your top 10 things you did to improve so far. I’m struggling and could use some advice. I’m doing DNRS, praying a lot, eating really well, meditating and seeing an integrative medicine doc.
And thank you for the prayers. Sending them back your way. God bless.
Oh my gosh I have the same exact story only I'm JUST getting this diagnosis, my doctor thought I had narcolepsy! To make things worse I just barely got my dream job so I'm on probation and because my cognitive function/I forget what I'm talking about or saying as I'm saying it I could lose everything I fought so hard for! I know mine is from mold but I can't afford to move because I'm so sick! I went from a healthy, active, workaholic to a person who can't do a full grocery trip without passing out when I get home! I'm so terrified but tired of fighting so hard just to be able to do mediocre tasks and still not being good enough!! I know God has a plan in this but I am beyond desperate for help I'd cut off my legs just to live again! I just want to live and not just be alive!! Thank you for sharing I know I'll get better I'm just holding on for dear life till I find someone who can help 😭

Thanks for this video. I'm encouraged by your journey. I'm glad that you decided to document it. It is important for people who are going through health struggles to know that there is hope in God. Even those of us who believe can get tired of the struggle sometimes, but deep down we know that God will come through. I appreciate your prayer at the end of this video. You are so right, we need to wait for God's timing because there is something He wants to teach us in every struggle. God bless you.
Great video! A little over 5 years ago I believe i had a terrible reaction to Bactrim. My neurological system felt fried. I was diagnosed with pots, dysautonomia, and sfn. Before that i was running 3 miles every other day, lifting weights, and weighed 205.
Practically instantaneously I dropped 30 pounds, and started with these symotoms. I take LDN too. Its tough avoiding dairy and gluten but i do it..
Great prayer. Hebrews 12 is a favorite verse of mine in regards to God's discipline.. God bless!
Thank you for sharing your story! No doubt God has great plans for you!
All I can say in all honesty is holy shit. I just started my channel because of my own health story and it is almost identical to yours. Infared saunas and lymphatic drainage are the only things that help me. I got mono 4 years ago and have every symptom of yours and was also diagnosed with mold toxicity AND had the exact same Lyme test experience. Going to a new doctor next week as a matter of fact because I’ve made progress but nowhere near where I need to be. I have had 5 positive mono flair ups in 5 years and have to do college online and I’m only 19. Have filmed my sit down 3 times but watching yours helped me know how I really want to organize my thoughts. Would love to talk personally some time!!!
Neurologically I have not improved at all
I relate to your story so much. Thankyou for sharing. God bless you in your healing journey and may He use you to bring healing to others in Jesus Name
Thank you for sharing your story! Right now I’m beginning my journey toward healing. I’ve had a severe anxiety and a panic disorder since 2011. I can relate with never feeling like you’ll see the other side of healing. I’m pursuing a ketogenic diet and functional medicine.
Can you do a video on all your symptoms please? Thank you so much
This🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼thank you for sharing praying for you!
Thank YOU 💕
Thanks so much for sharing your story! I'm so so happy you are making progress! I continually pray for you. Thanks for the prayer at the end! That meant so much! I have a rebounder, but worry it will make me feel worse as the stairs in my new house can be hard. What are your thoughts?
Thank YOU! I would start slow on the rebounder and do more of rocking movement from heel to heel, rather than actually jumping. I rarely actually jump much, because that can be exhausting! 💕
Thanks, I will try that!
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago.
It is getting so much worse. That I have been going on vitamins and supplements for my pain
Wow I cried watching this , I am going through the same thing . Thank you for the video and prayer 🙏🏽❤️ . I am currently in your beginning stages. I don’t know where to go or what to do. Joplin, MO doesn’t have many options so I’m searching to travel farther for a holistic doctor.
I love LDN! I used it when I was trying to get off my childhood adhd medication! Changed my life.
Keep running the race, sister! Thank you for being transparent, it does help me to know that other people know what this is all like. I have been passionately running after God. As a teenager I started going down hill and have had many set backs over the years. I’ve had so many dreams of going hard after God’s kingdom. I think mostly I want to pray for you. God, Your grace is everything we need. Thank You that turn every one of Mandy’s struggles into good. Come against the enemy that wants to slow down brothers and sisters around the world, encourage, strengthen, and heal the ones that are ready and excited to exercise Your kingdom. God, for every attempt of the enemy, I ask for abundance in every area of Mandy’s life. God, have Your way in the healing of people, and give Your children Your wisdom and insight so we can see Your kingdom come here as it is in heaven....in Jesus’ beautiful name, so it be
Thank you for sharing your journey. You encourage me a lot. I have chronic fatigue and anxiety attacks but trust God too that He is going to turn things around. Nobody believes me but Jesus is on my side so it gives me strength.
God bless! 💕🤗
Congrats 👍
Could you please give contact info for Rob, the doctor that helped you get to the root causes of your illness? I'm in Oklahoma too, and hope to perhaps pursue an appointment with him. Thanks so much for your prayers! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Have you ever been checked for hyperparathyroid disease as it has horrible symptoms of fatigue, bone pain, depression and memory issues. I can attest that I felt as though I was dying and could barely function. It is highly curable.
Do you know if there is is any place I can purchase just the DVD's and workbook used for much cheaper?
In 27 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year and a lot of the things you described I can TOTALLY relate too. I haven’t been diagnosed chronic fatigue but I know I have it...through this journey I TRUELY FOUND GOD, after being in bed for about 2 months and feeling the most pain and tired and depressed I had ever felt in my life I reached for my bible and BROKE DOWN, I couldn’t stop reading and learning about god, and totally get what your saying about embracing the illness... I still have my bad days which I’m sure you know what that’s like but truth is praise Jesus because I haven’t been as sick as I was when I first got sick...I honestly was in bed for almost a solid 2-3 months...I pray to god every day for healing but am always really humbled to say in the same breath “ god if healing isn’t in your plan for me please give me the strength to endure” ...he has never failed me! God bless you miss and I’m so happy I found your channel!
This gave me major chills! Thank you so much for sharing this! What an amazing testimony!
Glory to God - Glory to God
You won't be diagnosed with CFS if you have been diagnosed with Fibro because CFS and Fibrom are pretty much the same illness, fibro having more generalized pain than CFS. Good luck. I have CFS and pain from endometriosis and painful bladder syndrome, the pain has a source which is the difference.
🌻 You are such a beautiful shining light for Jesus!, Mandy. Thank You Lord for the amazing work You have done in Mandy's life and are still going to do. Thank You for the fantastic example she is of a life devoted to You. I ask please that you will bless and keep her every step of the way. Please Lord would you provide people to water the seeds of hope she sows in so many people's lives. Please Lord may many many people commit themselves to following You as she ministers to their needs. What a beautiful shining light she is for You, Father.
I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
Love to you, Mandy! 💛
I’m working with my ND right now to address my hormonal imbalances & I’ve found out that I’m also estrogen dominant & it’s converting to testosterone giving some not so fun symptoms! Right now I’m doing seed cycling w/ fish oil & evening primrose oil, & taking a feminine hormonal rebalance supplement. Do you have any other recommendations to help balance female hormones? Thanks!! God is so clearly working in you & I cannot wait to see where He takes your NTP business!❤️❤️
All of my current issues also started when I was diagnosed with mono. 😔
I forgot to say that it is very interesting that I had mono as well, and that is when the severest of my symptoms manifested. I wonder how often this is the trigger and if it's super common for mono to set things off in our bodies. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi Mandy, I suffer from Fibromyalgia and anxiety, Adrenal Insufficiency so I need to wean off of Beaupenorphin (opiate did not know)as it as blocked my Pituitary gland to produce ACTH which in turn does not tell my Adrenal Gland to produce cortisol! So I’ve been weaning off of Beupenorphin I’m having severe withdrawals and my Pain Management Dr put me on LD Naltrexone I took my first one last night and my pulse went to 110 and loose stools(truth). May I ask why you chose LD Naltrexone??? Have you ever tried CBD as that is where I got your name?? Please help me! God Bless You🙏❤️
I love your story and channel so much, I’ve been watching for a little over a year now and I just love how you’re able to still see the bright side of things and keep your focus on God.
I actually have the exact same illness (CFS). It’s crazy because that’s exactly how mine started, and at the same time too. It started as just mono and then manifested into what I have now. I’m 16, and seeing you push through and do the things that you love really encourages me to do the same. I hope you have a great day! Much love! ❤️
Mandy,
Thank you for the video it was amazing absolutely emotional for me as well. While I have not experienced any health challenges, i have experienced challenges related to employment and my dads health. July 6 2018 i was laid off from my dream job and I’m asking God why? What did I do wrong? I started the job January 25,2018 and now six months later I jobless again. Unforeseen at the time was my dads health taking a tailspin. That August my dad had to have a pacemaker put in and his kidneys began to shut Down. By Christmas 2018 he had to be admitted to the hospital and placed on dialysis due to water retention. He was unable to walk and was placed in a rehabilitation center that was supposed to help him get back walking and able to function on his own.
The place that was charged to help him did just the opposite. They didn’t turn him, they would not bathe him, and left him in a wheelchair for hours. Because of this he contracted necrofasing fasciitis and a stage 4 bed sore that had to be surgical removed.
Dad ultimately was not able to overcome this and passed away April 29th.
I write this because looking back and trusting in God, I realized He placed In this season because He new that Dad needed me.
Thanks for the inspiration to preserve amidst trials and seasons of pain. I’m so happy for your progress and continue to pray for you each day. I’m mostly blessed and honored to call you friend.
God Bless You Mandy
Been there lol ... being at home alone crying to your camera talking about my experience with CFS. 💜💜 lol
Did you experience the “if you had enough faith God would heal you” mindset at all? How did you respond?
Please don't be judgemental Donald.
If you've never struggled with depression, panic attacks or Chronic fatigue you probably can't imagine how it is. You are praying for healing but it doesn't always come at the time you want.
My christian aunt died in cancer what literally eaten her up. But she was talking to Jesus on her death bed. She had faith but she couldn't get healed. This just something what we didn't understand but accepted. Life isn't always comprehendable for us.
Try to be more emphatetic, please.
Ivy Lemkus I think your misunderstanding my question.
No offence, but try to ask your question in a nice way.
She said in the video that she has faith in her healing and she trusts God. She is a wonderful person!
Love this! ❤️ God is so kind. Amazing story! So glad you're feeling better! I'm in Oklahoma too. I know you said the functional medicine Dr name is Rob, but can I get his website or full name? I need to go to one, just been procrastinating.
Yes! thrive-med.com
What percent have you recovered and what has helped you the most?
I have autoimmune disease and am still not sure whats wrong. I can relate to the fatigue and I have pain on my left side like nerve pain. I also have vitiligo on my right leg since a kid. I was told mine is fibromyalgia but I am not sure that is true. It is frustrating. Oh I also have panic attacks and PTSD. I developed a kind of choking fobia and had a lot of trouble eating with people. Panic is awful and depression. Good luck and prayers.
Test for mold toxicity. Is an urine test from Great Plains Labs $299
I love you video you are beautiful .....
I say AMEN ....
Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol? I have an autoimmune disease as well, the autoimmune protocol made me feel substantially better.
Hiii Mandy...how are you ?
Even I am suffering from fibromyalgia...
Can you tell me what is the total cost of the complete DNRS program ? Is this program really, effective 😟
IS ...PLZZZ DO REPLY 🙏🙏🙏🙏
May i ask how ldn helps? Thank you God Bless
Do you still do DNRS? Do you still recommend it? Also, you mentioned birth control, did it make it worse? Was there a specific brand you stayed away from?
how did the DNRS work for you?
Hi Mandy. So you first got better with dnrs and then worse again? So did it help or not?
I’m interested in the brain retraining u mentioned. I’ve been working on my thoughts a lot and it’s been helping chronic pain and fatigue get better!
What organization did u go through?
I just want to say thank you for sharing. I heard about you from Jefferson Bethke podcast episode. Your life reminds me of Romans 8:28
Also it’s encouraging that you are walking in your purpose no matter what and looking on the bright side
Are you still doin the DNRS daily? Would you still recommend it to others as being worth the $ and time investment? Thank you! and congrats on becoming a nutritionist (from a fellow nutritionist)! Welcome to the club
Not anymore! I would recommend doing functional testing to understand the root cause first, and it could potentially be an awesome add on to your protocol depending on the situation. 💕
Girl you are so cute and nice wish when you talk about the god avoid the kidding💗
I’m sorry but did she ever say what her illness was?
I think I did - sorry if it wasn’t clear.
Chronic fatigue syndrome, due to mold toxicity (CIRS), chemical toxicity, and chronic EBV. Those are the main factors, but there are others.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
What kind of diffuser do you prefer on Amazon? Looking for one as mine pooped out 🤪
Mine is from YoungLiving! I got one from Amazon a while ago, and didn’t love it. 🤷🏻♀️
