      PART ONE

      MY STORY: SEARCHING FOR HEALING

      Everyone has a number of defining moments in his or her life. One of mine came at the age of 13. My body was going through enough changes, but now my heart was shattered by the death of my grandfather.

      Without my grandfather, I felt alone and angry. My grandfather was everything to me. He invested time, energy, and part of himself in me. We went on hunting and fishing trips where he would listen, give advice, and share his wisdom with me. Now, he was gone. A heavy depression was setting in.

      Four months prior, we were on a trip together, getting ready for a day of fishing. As we were loading the boat into the water, my grandfather slipped and broke a rib. He was taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that he not only had a broken rib, he also had leukemia. Since blood transfusions were the only remedy for leukemia in the 1970s, my grandfather received one. He mentioned that his arm felt like it was burning as the blood went in. Later in my training, I would learn that he had reacted to something during that procedure. He died the next day. He was only 59 years old.

      The week before his death, I was a boy who dreamed of being an architect, but the day he died, everything changed. I remember lying on the bathroom floor, weak from grief and days of crying, asking: How can this happen? He was healthy. How can he be gone? What about me? How will I make it without him? Then I asked even tougher questions, ones that would change my life forever: Why did he pass away? … He was still fairly young. Could his death have been prevented?

      I didn’t know God at the time, but he had set the stage for the journey into my own healing, ultimately to be used to heal others.

      Before that could happen, I experienced more sickness: German measles, allergies, asthma, inflammation, and obesity. I couldn’t breathe when I went outside due to the asthma, and this impacted my social life, isolating me from others. I was miserable. I was taking a multitude of drugs, antibiotics, and shots. At the age of 13, my body was overwhelmed by allergens, and I broke out with a staph infection. I had boils on every part of my body. To cure the boils, my doctor had to drain them. I remember lying on the doctor’s table, covered in boils, as the doctor drained them with his bare hands. The intensity of the pain was so sharp and nauseating that I eventually passed out. When I woke up, and later as I learned more, I realized that this procedure was not just torturous, it was an archaic and medieval form of medicine. There had to be a better
