Because of an email I got from Kathy Nemeh, wife of Dr. Nemeh about their beautiful daughter Ashely's new music video
it made me realize that much of what has helped Tracy I haven't talked about yet.
I tend to stay in the physical/mental/medical world because it will cause less flack than to throw in with the religious miracle arena.
It's hard enough to get people to believe there is any chance to heal ALS with standard health ideas without dragging Jesus into it.
But- as Tracy has taught me- it's MY BLOG and people can read it or not and believe it or not.
I on the other hand was brought up Catholic but consider myself Spiritual. I am open to any and all avenues that promote love and oneness. I am (maddeningly according to Tracy ) open to possibilities of energy, light, thought, love as healing options together or singularly.
They might work, they might not. One way to find out, let's try them.
I have no desire to convince anyone that they should believe what I do when it comes to religion.
This post is just putting out options that have worked for us in some way to improve our health and happiness in hopes it may help someone else.
At some point I will look up dates and times of appointments to fill the story in more accurately.
For now I will say I took a chance.
I found Dr. Nemeh on the internet when searching for Healing.
I called the office and asked a million questions more than once.
I listened to the testimonials.
I contacted those I could who worked with him.
I am glad we worked with him and his wonderful family and staff.
We did benefit, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from our time with him.
I wish we had the means to spend more time with and around him.
No- Tracy is still not religious at all.
Yes, things did get better after working with Dr. Nemeh by Skype for the first time.
Tracy had absolutely no faith at all that this was going to do anything but waste our money when I booked an appointment with Dr. Nemeh. They make it CLEAR when you call, he is a DOCTOR so don't refer to him as just a faith healer.
Tracy agreed to it to make ME feel better and I appreciate that so much with each modality of healing he is willing to try.
Just like in the video we sat in front of our Ipad and the doctor gave us all sorts of nutritional information and ideas that we still follow that have helped. When he was done with the medical end of things he asked if he could pray for Tracy. We said, Yep.
He closed his eyes and put out his hand towards the screen. Tracy didn't really feel anything even when the doctor asked him if he did. Tracy was hoping to be up tap dancing I am sure but never really believed anything would happen.
What DID HAPPEN that has made a world of difference for us is that the extreme anxiety and panic that goes along with ALS left Tracy right then. He admitted to feeling calmer and more peaceful.
This IS a HUGE miracle for both of us because at that stage of his health he often choked (almost to death) on food or saliva. If I would walk to the other room it made him anxious because he felt what if he needed me and couldn't call for me? His emotions were extremely roller coaster and it was hard for him to enjoy any moment because of discomfort, pain and fear. Most especially fear.
This change improved our lives immensely.
This success gave me the confidence to plan a road trip to Dr. Nemeh's office in Cleveland Ohio.
We enjoyed our visit and the doctor taught us to make a Sub Woofer Bio Magnetic massager that we use. He taught us about Infrared light therapy ( look up NASA) and green light therapy (which I can find NO information on anywhere else so if you know about it contact me!!).
We got to chat with the staff and his family while they told great stories of healings and kept saying to Tracy who at the time felt like he was on his last leg, Wow- you look great! We've healed people MUCH worse off than you! (We get that a lot.)
We were invited to a Religious Healing Service the next day at a local church and to my great surprise Tracy agreed to go. (This is after sending 3 kids to Catholic school and arguing at every Easter and Christmas about going to church with us for every year of our 37 years of marriage).
Another miracle in my book.
We went and it was small and quiet. A whole row of people go up and wait their turn to be prayed for and they were nice enough to let Tracy go early so we didn't have to wait (even though we did stay for a long time so I could see if others got healed and talk to them).
The volunteers are very enthusiastic in helping and have all had some connection to a healing and are thrilled to be honored with being allowed to help. There were a couple of people who were helped that shared their stories while we listened. Tracy didn't really feel like he got much out of it. I got hope.
None the less, Tracy really LIKES Dr. Nemeh and his family. He is an honest, intelligent, good- hearted man. He remembers every single person he prays for. He told us that. His wife told us that. I.....can't say that I believed that completely- which is not to call this religious man a liar. But really? Everyone? He sees thousands at a time over years and years.
But- when he came here to Dallas more than a year later he knew exactly who we were and remembered our names. I was shocked and said so. They laughed and said- I told you I remember each and every one of you. It's another one of his gifts.
Then we went to the Dallas service and I had a very painful pinch in my upper back but I am sitting in a church full of people with REALLY serious conditions so of course I wasn't about to mention my little ouwie or complain so I just fidgeted in my pew until it was our turn.
We go up and I am sooooooo fixed on Tracy's prayer and hopeful healing that when the Doctor came to me next I was a little surprised. No lightning bolt. No angels singing. Just him so calm and quiet. He put his hand on my back right where it hurt and the other on my chest or shoulder I think. He quietly prayed while I tried to hear what his secret prayer was as he mumbled and whispered it. Suddenly my back popped like a snap. I didn't really FEEL anything except that the pain stopped.
He hummed a little huhuh... a slight grin and moved to the next person.
I am so focused on Tracy to see if anything happened for him at this point that it hasn't really sunk in yet that I was better. We get back to the pew. We wait for a while and then after the service we wait in line to thank Dr. and his wife and staff. It dawned on me that the pain was gone when we were in the pew and I kept moving around waiting for it to come back. Expecting it to. Nope. Completely gone and I haven't had that specific problem since. I do have back issues from time to time from moving and lifting Tracy here and there but not THAT one.
I say to Dr. N- Wow! I had a terrible back pain and it's GONE!!! Like I am giving him news he didn't know. He just quietly replied- " I know".
I don't know why that cracks me up so much because he was so dry and matter of fact about it. But from his point of view I bet he is thinking- what does she think I am standing around here all day doing? No- he is much too kind to ever think that. It's what I would be thinking if I was him.
So- since then I have called him from time to time to book an appointment hoping to find complete healing and he said- stop making appointments!! Don't spend your money! If you have a question we will answer but we have prayed and continue to pray for you. God is already working. He doesn't forget. Call if you need us but don't spend any more money on appointments unless you need to come for an office visit. (So much for the idea they are all scammers out for a buck).
Since then we have kept in touch with Kathy, his wonderful fun wife as sends me updates on their beautiful musician daughter's career. Since our son Nick is a musician as well we chatted about that whole thing so it's a fun connection.
Getting her Email and video today made me feel like it was a sign I should give them a mention here.
So- Tracy is still not a Jesus rejoicer yet. Feel free to ask him what he thinks about the whole thing. He's not sure HOW it happened but he will acknowledge, as surprised as he is, that SOMETHING DID change and improve.
