Okay. 00:07:43.02\00:07:45.09 Actually in the maintenance department 00:07:45.13\00:07:47.36 and that lasted three weeks. 00:07:47.40\00:07:51.57 We were asked to serve at a facility 00:07:51.60\00:07:54.54 about three hours away, 00:07:54.57\00:07:56.14 another campus of Wildwood 00:07:56.17\00:07:57.91 where they were doing drug and alcohol rehab. 00:07:57.94\00:08:01.58 And we had training in South Africa in those lines. 00:08:01.61\00:08:05.18 And the Lord really blessed our efforts 00:08:05.21\00:08:07.62 and we really enjoyed it. 00:08:07.65\00:08:09.48 About a year and half later, things changed, 00:08:09.52\00:08:12.69 and we were back at Wildwood at which point, 00:08:12.72\00:08:15.92 I was asked to be the hospital administrator there, 00:08:15.96\00:08:18.96 and that was a challenge in and of itself. 00:08:18.99\00:08:22.76 But the Lord led us and guided us, 00:08:22.80\00:08:25.07 and through the years have come through the ranks of leadership 00:08:25.10\00:08:29.54 to being president today. 00:08:29.57\00:08:32.21 Amen. That is really, really good. 00:08:32.24\00:08:34.54 The Lord has led you 00:08:34.58\00:08:35.91 every step of the way, hasn't He? 00:08:35.94\00:08:37.81 It's been a fantastic experience. 00:08:37.85\00:08:40.95 I often tell my classes and students, 00:08:40.98\00:08:45.35 "I wouldn't change this experience for anything." 00:08:45.39\00:08:47.92 It's been such a blessing of 14 years. 00:08:47.96\00:08:52.06 Yeah, struggles, 00:08:52.09\00:08:53.73 but a real blessing how the Lord has led 00:08:53.76\00:08:56.67 and provided for our needs, and the blessing of service, 00:08:56.70\00:09:01.70 you know, the whole universe operates on the law of service. 00:09:01.74\00:09:05.21 And being involved in a ministry 00:09:05.24\00:09:07.01 where you can do this fulltime is a real benefit. 00:09:07.04\00:09:11.15 Yes, yes, for sure. 00:09:11.18\00:09:13.28 What about you, Raven? 00:09:13.31\00:09:14.75 Well, I came as a student. 00:09:14.78\00:09:17.35 I was blessed when I became an Adventist, 00:09:17.39\00:09:19.45 to have friends who were really about this faith. 00:09:19.49\00:09:22.59 And so, I learned about the health message. 00:09:22.62\00:09:25.36 In the process, I was sick myself, 00:09:25.39\00:09:27.36 many of my family members were sick. 00:09:27.40\00:09:29.23 And so when my brother, he's type 1 diabetic, 00:09:29.26\00:09:33.34 and he went into a coma. 00:09:33.37\00:09:34.97 And when he came out, 00:09:35.00\00:09:36.34 the doctors were in awe that he wasn't brain-dead. 00:09:36.37\00:09:38.87 And I had some friends 00:09:38.91\00:09:40.24 who actually went to Wildwood at one point. 00:09:40.28\00:09:41.74 So I was like, "Well, this is the only place 00:09:41.78\00:09:43.11 I knew about natural remedies." 00:09:43.14\00:09:44.78 I said, "Well, why don't you go there?" 00:09:44.81\00:09:46.15 And he was like, "Well, if it worked for them, 00:09:46.18\00:09:49.68 why can't it work for you, 00:09:49.72\00:09:51.42 because you're sickly and you're 220 pounds?" 00:09:51.45\00:09:54.96 So I was like, "Oh, okay." 00:09:54.99\00:09:56.32 So for myself, I came as a student. 00:09:59.89\00:10:04.43 And I lost, at the time, I lost 60 pounds. 00:10:04.47\00:10:08.17 I found I had diverticulitis, I have fibroids, 00:10:08.20\00:10:11.87 and I think it was in 2007. 00:10:11.91\00:10:14.58 By 2012, they found 00:10:14.61\00:10:16.24 that my diverticulitis went away, 00:10:16.28\00:10:19.48 some of the diverticulums went away, 00:10:19.51\00:10:21.35 and even the fibroids went away. 00:10:21.38\00:10:23.18 And it was all from the treatments 00:10:23.22\00:10:24.55 that I was able to get 00:10:24.59\00:10:25.92 while I was there as the student, 00:10:25.95\00:10:27.29 and then became a worker, so. 00:10:27.32\00:10:28.99 That's tremendous. 00:10:29.02\00:10:30.36 Again, look at God, 00:10:30.39\00:10:31.73 look at how He orchestrates everything 00:10:31.76\00:10:34.46 and guides our steps. 00:10:34.50\00:10:35.83 We often don't know where we're going to end up. 00:10:35.86\00:10:39.00 I would never have thought that I was gonna end up 00:10:39.03\00:10:41.50 at 3ABN. 00:10:41.54\00:10:42.87 You just don't know, but God has a plan, 00:10:42.90\00:10:46.01 He has a plan for every one of us. 00:10:46.04\00:10:48.34 And so, you guys ended up at Wildwood 00:10:48.38\00:10:52.31 and doing what you're doing. 00:10:52.35\00:10:53.68 Tell us about Wildwood, its history? 00:10:53.72\00:10:58.39 I think I need to just put us 00:10:58.42\00:11:00.82 in a context of why we do what we do. 00:11:00.86\00:11:03.32 Good. 00:11:03.36\00:11:04.69 And that is, 00:11:04.73\00:11:06.09 as the Lord started to reveal to Ellen White, 00:11:06.13\00:11:11.93 the mission of the church 00:11:11.97\00:11:13.47 and opportunities to reach out to people, 00:11:13.50\00:11:18.74 the sanitarium work was born. 00:11:18.77\00:11:21.38 And you know, in the late 1800s, 00:11:21.41\00:11:24.45 that word didn't exist, 00:11:24.48\00:11:27.28 it wasn't even in the dictionary. 00:11:27.32\00:11:29.52 And the word sanatorium was in the dictionary 00:11:29.55\00:11:32.62 and it had other connotations, 00:11:32.65\00:11:34.26 you know, tuberculosis, 00:11:34.29\00:11:35.62 and all of those kinds of things. 00:11:35.66\00:11:36.99 Right, right. 00:11:37.03\00:11:38.36 But it was actually Dr Kellogg 00:11:38.39\00:11:39.73 that coined the term sanitarium. 00:11:39.76\00:11:43.37 And it became known, to deal with health, 00:11:43.40\00:11:47.60 you know, and health work. 00:11:47.64\00:11:49.40 And today, it's most synonymous with lifestyle centers. 00:11:49.44\00:11:53.07 And the reason behind this work was a specific purpose 00:11:53.11\00:11:57.18 that God had for His people, 00:11:57.21\00:11:59.21 and He shared this with His messenger 00:11:59.25\00:12:03.69 to start sharing with people. 00:12:03.72\00:12:06.05 And so the first sanitarium that was really born 00:12:06.09\00:12:09.66 was the Western Health Retreat Sanitarium, 00:12:09.69\00:12:14.90 and that was really the first one 00:12:14.93\00:12:16.97 from which Battle Creek grew, that was in 1866, right? 00:12:17.00\00:12:22.70 And so... 00:12:22.74\00:12:24.07 But in late in 1910, 00:12:24.11\00:12:25.84 Ellen White had further visions where... 00:12:25.87\00:12:29.61 She coins the term, 00:12:29.64\00:12:30.98 the right arm of the gospel and the entering wedge, 00:12:31.01\00:12:34.55 and she was shown that this work 00:12:34.58\00:12:37.85 needed to combine 00:12:37.89\00:12:39.72 with all our evangelistic outreaches. 00:12:39.75\00:12:43.69 And so that came into being. 00:12:43.73\00:12:46.49 And John Tindall was the first man 00:12:46.53\00:12:50.23 that was chosen to demonstrate this model. 00:12:50.27\00:12:53.13 And as he started going through conferences 00:12:53.17\00:12:55.57 in California area, 00:12:55.60\00:12:58.21 he brought onboard a young protege, 00:12:58.24\00:13:01.44 and that was in 1923, and it was W.D. Frazee, 00:13:01.48\00:13:06.35 and he worked with him for five years. 00:13:06.38\00:13:09.28 And while he was going through this experience, 00:13:09.32\00:13:12.32 he started praying for the opportunity 00:13:12.35\00:13:14.06 to open a place where he could 00:13:14.09\00:13:18.73 teach this combined message, 00:13:18.76\00:13:21.53 health, health education and evangelism. 00:13:21.56\00:13:25.17 And the Lord led him to a place 00:13:25.20\00:13:27.40 just outside of Chattanooga, right. 00:13:27.44\00:13:29.70 And in 1942, 00:13:29.74\00:13:31.74 Wildwood was incorporated and came into being. 00:13:31.77\00:13:36.38 A few years later, in 1949, 00:13:36.41\00:13:38.91 the first Wildwood Sanitarium and Hospital was built. 00:13:38.95\00:13:42.78 And they started seeing patients there, 00:13:42.82\00:13:44.65 but soon realized they needed a larger building, 00:13:44.69\00:13:48.09 and that became today's lifestyle center. 00:13:48.12\00:13:52.59 In 1971, that was completed with a surgery suite, 00:13:52.63\00:13:58.03 outpatient clinic. 00:13:58.07\00:13:59.40 We even had a little ER room at that time. 00:13:59.43\00:14:01.90 And the insurance industry wasn't so regulated those days. 00:14:01.94\00:14:07.01 And the two philosophies were able to work together. 00:14:07.04\00:14:10.31 But as the insurance industry became more and more regulated, 00:14:10.35\00:14:13.11 those philosophies became more and more divergent 00:14:13.15\00:14:15.92 at being natural remedies 00:14:15.95\00:14:17.95 as opposed to conventional medicine. 00:14:17.99\00:14:19.49 Right. 00:14:19.52\00:14:20.86 And so, 00:14:20.89\00:14:22.22 we started losing insurance coverage for people 00:14:22.26\00:14:24.99 and it became more of a self-pace system. 00:14:25.03\00:14:27.70 And unfortunately, of course, that cut down the census, 00:14:27.73\00:14:30.17 it was a 39-bed facility 00:14:30.20\00:14:32.63 at which point, we had to cut it back 00:14:32.67\00:14:35.80 and the decision was made to cut those license beds 00:14:35.84\00:14:38.91 back to 13. 00:14:38.94\00:14:40.68 And the hospital portion hobbled along like that 00:14:40.71\00:14:44.41 for some 25 years. 00:14:44.45\00:14:47.05 The lifestyle center was then born, 00:14:47.08\00:14:49.32 and lifestyle work started to become more known. 00:14:49.35\00:14:53.69 And eventually in September 2015, 00:14:53.72\00:14:57.36 the board made the final decision 00:14:57.39\00:14:59.63 to close the hospital 00:14:59.66\00:15:01.00 and return a certificate of need. 00:15:01.03\00:15:03.16 And it was sad, 00:15:03.20\00:15:05.60 but yet, you know, with today's climate 00:15:05.63\00:15:08.54 in hospital work, 00:15:08.57\00:15:09.90 it's only the big centers 00:15:09.94\00:15:12.21 that really can continue to operate. 00:15:12.24\00:15:14.68 Many of the small hospitals closed down. 00:15:14.71\00:15:17.21 And today, we operate as a full lifestyle center, 00:15:17.25\00:15:20.58 and we believe we fulfill the calling 00:15:20.62\00:15:24.72 to relieve the sick and suffering, 00:15:24.75\00:15:26.96 to disseminate light, to create a spirit of inquiry, 00:15:26.99\00:15:31.16 and to advancer form. 00:15:31.19\00:15:32.53 And this is, we see as a basic job description 00:15:32.56\00:15:35.80 that we have for this end-time work. 00:15:35.83\00:15:38.93 And you know, God created this end-time work, 00:15:38.97\00:15:41.70 this sanitarium work for a specific reason, 00:15:41.74\00:15:44.21 and we are told it's to make up 00:15:44.24\00:15:45.64 the number of God's people in the kingdom. 00:15:45.67\00:15:47.94 And she says, "Through this work, 00:15:47.98\00:15:49.98 we can reach people 00:15:50.01\00:15:51.35 that wouldn't be reached in any other way." 00:15:51.38\00:15:53.35 And so, it's really a spiritual calling, 00:15:53.38\00:15:55.85 a special work, and we believe we fit into that category, 00:15:55.88\00:15:59.95 and it's a real privilege to be part of it 00:15:59.99\00:16:04.26 and to see the miracles that happened, you know, 00:16:04.29\00:16:07.13 as people come into that protective network 00:16:07.16\00:16:11.40 which protect against these spurious healings 00:16:11.43\00:16:15.00 of the enemy. 00:16:15.04\00:16:16.37 Yes. And we wanna talk... 00:16:16.40\00:16:17.94 We have a video roll 00:16:17.97\00:16:19.31 that we're gonna go to in just a sec, 00:16:19.34\00:16:20.68 but we wanna talk about some of those miracles 00:16:20.71\00:16:24.11 that God has performed there 00:16:24.15\00:16:25.61 because it's so important that people know... 00:16:25.65\00:16:30.25 A lot of times, 00:16:30.29\00:16:31.62 people don't understand the relationship between, 00:16:31.65\00:16:33.86 let's say, diet and just everyday functioning. 00:16:33.89\00:16:38.29 You know, the choices that we make, 00:16:38.33\00:16:40.20 lifestyle choices, 00:16:40.23\00:16:41.96 it's not just diet, it's diet, it's exercise, 00:16:42.00\00:16:44.93 it's the way we think, it's getting rest, 00:16:44.97\00:16:48.00 and all these things that a lot of times, 00:16:48.04\00:16:50.77 people don't connect the dots, 00:16:50.81\00:16:52.81 and so it sounds like Wildwood is helping people 00:16:52.84\00:16:56.28 to connect the dots. 00:16:56.31\00:16:58.78 So let's take a look at this video, 00:16:58.81\00:17:00.38 because I think it can shed some more light on 00:17:00.42\00:17:03.65 what you're talking about. 00:17:03.69\00:17:05.02 Okay. 00:17:05.05\00:17:06.39 This is your stop, Frazee. 00:17:38.45\00:17:39.95 We can never understand how to run a sanitarium for God 00:17:49.10\00:17:54.40 unless we know about time period. 00:17:54.44\00:17:56.24 Seventy six years ago, 00:18:05.08\00:18:06.88 Elder W.D. Frazee started the work 00:18:06.92\00:18:08.88 of Wildwood Sanitarium. 00:18:08.92\00:18:12.09 Now, it's my turn. 00:18:12.12\00:18:14.12 As a new student, 00:18:18.39\00:18:19.73 I want to know everything about Frazee's legacy 00:18:19.76\00:18:21.56 in what Wildwood has become. 00:18:21.60\00:18:23.20 Hello. 00:18:23.23\00:18:24.57 Hi, how are you? I'm Earl. 00:18:24.60\00:18:26.37 Nice meeting you. Glad to meet you. 00:18:26.40\00:18:28.84 First, I heard about Wildwood 00:18:28.87\00:18:31.27 when I was a student in the physical therapy class 00:18:31.31\00:18:34.18 in Loma Linda in 1951. 00:18:34.21\00:18:36.98 And I thought, "Well, I want to visit 00:18:37.01\00:18:39.18 that place sometime." 00:18:39.21\00:18:40.82 I did after I worked a year and got first vacation, 00:18:40.85\00:18:45.32 I came down and visited. 00:18:45.35\00:18:47.06 Robert Olson was our Bible teacher 00:18:47.09\00:18:49.22 at that time. 00:18:49.26\00:18:50.59 He told about Wildwood. 00:18:50.63\00:18:54.86 He got Elder Tindall who trained Elder Frazee 00:18:54.90\00:18:59.00 to have a class, a Bible class. 00:18:59.03\00:19:03.61 Now I came back, I worked in hydrotherapy 00:19:03.64\00:19:07.64 and taught Daniel and Revelation 00:19:07.68\00:19:09.91 for a number of years. 00:19:09.94\00:19:11.85 Hi, excuse me, Brother Coles. 00:19:11.88\00:19:13.25 Can I take him for a moment? 00:19:13.28\00:19:15.12 Okay. Thank you. 00:19:15.15\00:19:16.55 Can you help me with something?

00:19:31.00\00:19:32.57 Back then, when he was here, 00:19:32.60\00:19:34.30 a lot of stuff was not the way it is right now, 00:19:34.34\00:19:37.64 like we've renovated our rooms 00:19:37.67\00:19:39.87 and we've got new offices because we have new people here 00:19:39.91\00:19:42.74 with so many great ideas to bring this place to life. 00:19:42.78\00:19:46.11 So one of the main things I'm so proud about is that, 00:19:46.15\00:19:49.98 we've always done the medical program, 00:19:50.02\00:19:52.79 but now, we're reaching out to those 00:19:52.82\00:19:54.79 with emotional issues even more with our depression program, 00:19:54.82\00:19:58.43 our Life Alignment program. 00:19:58.46\00:20:00.33 So you, as a new student, 00:20:00.36\00:20:01.70 you're coming to something brand new, 00:20:01.73\00:20:03.16 and I hope you really enjoy it. 00:20:03.20\00:20:04.53 With the lifestyle center reaching 00:20:09.34\00:20:10.74 so many people already, 00:20:10.77\00:20:12.47 I can't imagine what massive impact 00:20:12.51\00:20:14.21 the community center must have. 00:20:14.24\00:20:16.28 Hey, Daniel. 00:20:16.31\00:20:17.71 So we're building a community center here, 00:20:17.75\00:20:20.32 it's called the Better Living Center. 00:20:20.35\00:20:22.55 And the reason for that is, 00:20:22.58\00:20:24.42 at our entrance, we have a church 00:20:24.45\00:20:26.15 and it kind of prevents people 00:20:26.19\00:20:27.56 from coming in that kind of think 00:20:27.59\00:20:28.92 the whole facility is just church. 00:20:28.96\00:20:31.36 And so we decided, 00:20:31.39\00:20:32.93 let's reach out to the community, 00:20:32.96\00:20:35.33 and by doing that, 00:20:35.36\00:20:36.70 we're able to prevent this proverbial gateway 00:20:36.73\00:20:41.87 at our entrance. 00:20:41.90\00:20:43.24 And so this center here 00:20:43.27\00:20:45.54 is going to offer cooking schools, 00:20:45.57\00:20:48.18 dinner with a doctor, 00:20:48.21\00:20:50.28 seminars, 00:20:50.31\00:20:52.08 as much as we can fit into this, 00:20:52.11\00:20:54.75 this is what it's going to be for to reach the community. 00:20:54.78\00:20:59.05 And we're hoping that by the end of summer, 00:20:59.09\00:21:02.89 we'd be able to have it dried in 00:21:02.92\00:21:05.59 and we'll see how our finances go 00:21:05.63\00:21:08.36 until we can finish it. 00:21:08.40\00:21:10.30 And so in the meantime here, 00:21:10.33\00:21:12.87 we have to use our stores 00:21:12.90\00:21:15.60 to meet the public where they are. 00:21:15.64\00:21:17.67 Building relationships is really 00:21:21.84\00:21:23.21 what Wildwood is all about, 00:21:23.24\00:21:25.28 and that's what I want to be part of. 00:21:25.31\00:21:27.62 I love shopping here. 00:21:27.65\00:21:29.42 It's such a great way to help people live 00:21:29.45\00:21:30.99 the healthier life that they learn of 00:21:31.02\00:21:32.82 at the lifestyle center. 00:21:32.85\00:21:34.39 And soon, Cathy is able to get all her herbs here too 00:21:34.42\00:21:37.59 because the store is getting a complete facelift, 00:21:37.63\00:21:40.56 and that includes merging the herbs store 00:21:40.60\00:21:42.60 with a natural food store. 00:21:42.63\00:21:43.97 The health message isn't dead, 00:21:49.94\00:21:51.87 it's more alive than it's ever been 00:21:51.91\00:21:53.41 because it's more needed than ever. 00:21:53.44\00:21:55.34 Wildwood is still spreading that message in full force, 00:21:55.38\00:21:58.51 and it's only getting bigger. 00:21:58.55\00:22:01.42 This is the story of one hope, one vision, and one passion. 00:22:01.45\00:22:06.22 This is his dream come true. 00:22:06.25\00:22:09.66 There's one thing that Christ is waiting for, 00:22:22.00\00:22:27.41 to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 00:22:27.44\00:22:30.75 What a nice video. 00:22:39.92\00:22:42.69 What a profound mission. 00:22:42.72\00:22:44.96 And look at how God is leading you 00:22:44.99\00:22:47.06 to accomplish that. 00:22:47.10\00:22:49.00 Tell us about dinner with a doctor, what is that? 00:22:49.03\00:22:51.33 I love that. 00:22:51.37\00:22:52.70 So, it's an opportunity for community people 00:22:52.73\00:22:56.24 to come and experience good healthy food 00:22:56.27\00:23:00.81 with a medical provider that is there amongst them 00:23:00.84\00:23:06.15 that will give a lecture that they can ask questions to. 00:23:06.18\00:23:10.62 And so it's a cooking school combined with, 00:23:10.65\00:23:14.92 you know, interaction with a doctor 00:23:14.96\00:23:17.29 or a midlevel provider 00:23:17.33\00:23:19.66 that gives people opportunities they wouldn't normally have, 00:23:19.69\00:23:24.70 you know, without paying out a lot of money. 00:23:24.73\00:23:27.90 And so, it's educational. 00:23:27.94\00:23:30.34 And we see a lot of success with these type of programs, 00:23:30.37\00:23:34.84 and different churches are putting them on. 00:23:34.88\00:23:37.45 And so we want to put one 00:23:37.48\00:23:39.15 on right at our campus, you know, 00:23:39.18\00:23:41.28 where people can come for 00:23:41.32\00:23:43.99 maybe other reasons than just... 00:23:44.02\00:23:46.52 or pay a lot of money for, you know, a lifestyle program. 00:23:46.55\00:23:49.69 No, we want to be of service to the community. 00:23:49.72\00:23:51.66 Nice.

Love it. 00:25:01.96\00:25:03.30 They came to our campus, we had a meal together, 00:25:03.33\00:25:05.93 and they shared the burden of their heart. 00:25:05.97\00:25:08.84 They are situated in what is termed a food desert. 00:25:08.87\00:25:13.64 Yes, explain that to our viewers 00:25:13.68\00:25:16.24 because they might not know what that is. 00:25:16.28\00:25:17.61 A food desert is a community 00:25:17.65\00:25:20.02 that doesn't have access to food. 00:25:20.05\00:25:23.18 Can you believe, 00:25:23.22\00:25:24.55 there are zip codes in our country, in our cities 00:25:24.59\00:25:27.99 where there are no grocery stores? 00:25:28.02\00:25:30.33 No fresh food. 00:25:30.36\00:25:31.69 No produce, no produce. 00:25:31.73\00:25:33.06 No produce. 00:25:33.09\00:25:34.43 They don't have ability to commute to get it elsewhere. 00:25:34.46\00:25:38.97 And so, these people are living by purchasing their food 00:25:39.00\00:25:42.80 from gas stations. 00:25:42.84\00:25:45.07 And we know that 00:25:45.11\00:25:46.44 that's not healthy nor is that economical, right. 00:25:46.47\00:25:49.01 Right, right. 00:25:49.04\00:25:50.38 And so, this church has recognized the need, 00:25:50.41\00:25:53.85 this community has a high level of infant mortality rate, 00:25:53.88\00:25:58.72 high level of diabetes, you name any disease factor 00:25:58.75\00:26:02.19 and they are off the chart. 00:26:02.22\00:26:04.33 This church decided 00:26:04.36\00:26:06.03 that church needs to be more than these four walls. 00:26:06.06\00:26:09.63 Great. 00:26:09.66\00:26:11.00 We need to impact this community. 00:26:11.03\00:26:12.43 So they want to create gardens, grow boxes in this community, 00:26:12.47\00:26:18.07 in this zip code area 00:26:18.11\00:26:20.38 where they can teach people to grow their food. 00:26:20.41\00:26:23.04 Then, one of their... 00:26:23.08\00:26:25.48 Actually, their board chair was a guest 00:26:25.51\00:26:29.62 at our lifestyle center before. 00:26:29.65\00:26:32.15 He said to them, "If you want success 00:26:32.19\00:26:35.12 in this particular thing, in teaching health, 00:26:35.16\00:26:38.53 let's go to Wildwood 00:26:38.56\00:26:39.89 and let's partner with Wildwood." 00:26:39.93\00:26:41.76 Now, this is a non-Adventist church? 00:26:41.80\00:26:43.50 It's a non-Adventist church, right? 00:26:43.53\00:26:46.40 And so, they came to visit us, 00:26:46.43\00:26:49.10 and they want to partner with us. 00:26:49.14\00:26:51.64 We, in the discussion, you know, 00:26:51.67\00:26:54.01 "How can it be that, in modern day society, 00:26:54.04\00:26:56.85 there's no grocery store in the zip code?" 00:26:56.88\00:26:59.05 And so we said, "Well, maybe 00:26:59.08\00:27:01.12 we can look at an opportunity of extending our store 00:27:01.15\00:27:05.05 to a venue within that zip code 00:27:05.09\00:27:09.49 where we can share simple foods, 00:27:09.52\00:27:13.26 show them how to use it," right?

00:28:20.50\00:28:22.06 They need food, they need food. 00:28:22.10\00:28:24.70 It's unconscionable 00:28:24.73\00:28:26.50 that there is not a grocery store 00:28:26.53\00:28:28.77 in this whole zip code. 00:28:28.80\00:28:30.17 Right. 00:28:30.21\00:28:31.54 I mean, that's unbelievable in America, we just don't... 00:28:31.57\00:28:36.58 We don't think that's possible 00:28:36.61\00:28:39.31 but people are starving, they might be obese, 00:28:39.35\00:28:43.72 but they're starving nutritionally. 00:28:43.75\00:28:46.02 So you're offering them food but not just food, education. 00:28:46.05\00:28:50.93 So how do you maximize the use of that food 00:28:50.96\00:28:54.56 or optimize the use of that food? 00:28:54.60\00:28:56.83 Then you're offering them parenting lessons. 00:28:56.87\00:29:01.20 That's tremendous. 00:29:01.24\00:29:02.57 Is this an intercity environment? 00:29:02.60\00:29:04.14 Yeah. 00:29:04.17\00:29:05.51 So you're looking at the family, 00:29:05.54\00:29:07.64 you're looking at the economics, 00:29:07.68\00:29:09.58 job development, this is tremendous. 00:29:09.61\00:29:13.01 What a blessing. 00:29:13.05\00:29:14.38 You know, people are dependent, you know, 00:29:14.42\00:29:15.75 has to be whole in Christ. 00:29:15.78\00:29:17.12 That's right. 00:29:17.15\00:29:18.49 So that's what God says, "Meet them where they are, 00:29:18.52\00:29:19.85 mingle with them, meet their needs." 00:29:19.89\00:29:21.22 And then you can truly bait them to follow Christ. 00:29:21.26\00:29:22.79 That's right. 00:29:22.82\00:29:24.29 How can they follow 00:29:24.33\00:29:25.66 if you can't even think straight 00:29:25.69\00:29:27.36 because you haven't eaten proper food? 00:29:27.40\00:29:30.37 If you're buying your food from the gas station, 00:29:30.40\00:29:32.93 that means chips, and cookies, and donuts, and junk food, 00:29:32.97\00:29:37.41 that's not nourishing the body. 00:29:37.44\00:29:39.51 That's unreal. 00:29:39.54\00:29:40.88 So you guys are... 00:29:40.91\00:29:42.24 And you're doing cooking classes and all that. 00:29:42.28\00:29:44.11 That's tremendous. 00:29:44.15\00:29:46.01 What a blessing that is. 00:29:46.05\00:29:47.45 So that's for the community. 00:29:47.48\00:29:49.95 Now what about people 00:29:49.98\00:29:51.55 that come to the lifestyle center themselves? 00:29:51.59\00:29:56.12 What's a typical day for the patient 00:29:56.16\00:29:59.73 at the lifestyle center? 00:29:59.76\00:30:01.10 Okay, so we have medical providers 00:30:01.13\00:30:03.90 who have worked in the world, the unconventional medicine. 00:30:03.93\00:30:07.17 The blessing thing with that is that, 00:30:07.20\00:30:09.40 they now know 00:30:09.44\00:30:10.77 how to wean a person off their medication. 00:30:10.81\00:30:13.88 That's very big 'cause we have a lot of guests 00:30:13.91\00:30:16.01 who'll come and just get off their medication, 00:30:16.04\00:30:18.05 and they'll have a heart issue 00:30:18.08\00:30:19.41 or they'll have something going over with their bodies, 00:30:19.45\00:30:21.15 and we tell them, "Whoa, whoa, wait. 00:30:21.18\00:30:22.58 Let us teach you how to move from where you are 00:30:22.62\00:30:25.72 to where God would like you to be utilizing natural ways." 00:30:25.75\00:30:29.46 So our whole medical providers come together 00:30:29.49\00:30:33.36 and they would actually meet with the person 00:30:33.40\00:30:36.16 at least for an hour or so, pray with them. 00:30:36.20\00:30:38.97 They've already gone over their medical reports, 00:30:39.00\00:30:41.50 and they're able to give them a lifestyle regimen, okay? 00:30:41.54\00:30:46.37 Let me just interrupt you right here for a second. 00:30:46.41\00:30:48.28 So what's important about this is, 00:30:48.31\00:30:52.61 you don't want people just getting off 00:30:52.65\00:30:54.22 of their medicine arbitrarily. 00:30:54.25\00:30:55.82 No. 00:30:55.85\00:30:57.19 You have supervised weaning so to speak. 00:30:57.22\00:31:00.79 Yes. Which is really... 00:31:00.82\00:31:03.12 That's the better way. 00:31:03.16\00:31:04.49 You can't... 00:31:04.53\00:31:05.86 There are some people watching who might say, 00:31:05.89\00:31:07.23 "Oh, I'm just gonna not take my meds." 00:31:07.26\00:31:09.23 No, no. 00:31:09.26\00:31:11.17 We're not saying that. 00:31:11.20\00:31:13.10 What people do is they come to Wildwood 00:31:13.13\00:31:15.80 and they are able to, by using natural means, 00:31:15.84\00:31:21.08 under supervision of a medical doctor, 00:31:21.11\00:31:24.55 they're able to get off of many of their meds. 00:31:24.58\00:31:28.58 If possible, within the 11 to 25 days that's given to us, 00:31:28.62\00:31:31.39 yeah. 00:31:31.42\00:31:32.75 And so what we're looking at more is, 00:31:32.79\00:31:34.69 you know, conventional medicine is, 00:31:34.72\00:31:37.49 a lot of time, treating symptoms. 00:31:37.53\00:31:40.26 We're looking for the course. 00:31:40.30\00:31:41.63 That's right. Exactly. 00:31:41.66\00:31:43.00 Let's get to the root. And let's get to the root. 00:31:43.03\00:31:44.37 Our providers will start digging 00:31:44.40\00:31:45.73 and doing research. 00:31:45.77\00:31:47.10 And for many of the guests that come to us, 00:31:47.14\00:31:50.34 it'll be the first time 00:31:50.37\00:31:51.71 that they have a diagnosis of the course, 00:31:51.74\00:31:55.14 and then we can start working on the course, 00:31:55.18\00:31:57.68 and the symptoms start to alleviate themselves. 00:31:57.71\00:32:00.95 So as we come into compliance with natural law, 00:32:00.98\00:32:04.09 then the body can help heal itself. 00:32:04.12\00:32:06.15 That's right. 00:32:06.19\00:32:07.52 And that's the amazing thing about the body is that, 00:32:07.56\00:32:10.69 it can heal itself if you give it what it needs to do so. 00:32:10.73\00:32:14.76 You know, you give it the materials that it needs, 00:32:14.80\00:32:17.13 it can heal. 00:32:17.17\00:32:18.50 So that's how we were created. 00:32:18.53\00:32:20.14 So what you guys are doing is tremendous, 00:32:20.17\00:32:23.87 helping people to get well through natural remedies, 00:32:23.91\00:32:28.71 which doesn't mean that they're never on meds, 00:32:28.74\00:32:31.85 I would assume, but it just means that 00:32:31.88\00:32:34.55 as many meds as they can get off of, 00:32:34.58\00:32:37.15 you know, because the meds themselves 00:32:37.19\00:32:39.09 often have side effects, compounding issues. 00:32:39.12\00:32:42.99 Exactly. 00:32:43.02\00:32:44.36 So I mean, 00:32:44.39\00:32:45.73 if you can use natural means to get well, 00:32:45.76\00:32:50.47 that's ideal. 00:32:50.50\00:32:52.53 Okay. 00:32:52.57\00:32:53.90 So they come in, they sit with a medical professional 00:32:53.94\00:32:57.57 who prays with them, that's amazing too, 00:32:57.61\00:33:00.84 prays with them to consult 00:33:00.88\00:33:03.85 with the divine physician, right? 00:33:03.88\00:33:06.15 And then, 00:33:06.18\00:33:07.78 they look at their meds, which is another issue, 00:33:07.82\00:33:10.45 because sometimes, doctors are unaware of, 00:33:10.49\00:33:14.59 you know, all of the different meds 00:33:14.62\00:33:17.99 that a patient is on or whatever, any interactions. 00:33:18.03\00:33:20.90 So that can be an issue. 00:33:20.93\00:33:23.50 So they look at the meds, 00:33:23.53\00:33:25.00 they're able to pray with the patient, 00:33:25.03\00:33:27.57 then what do they do? 00:33:27.60\00:33:29.20 So even before the guest comes, 00:33:29.24\00:33:32.47 the team has looked over all the medical records 00:33:32.51\00:33:35.28 and their history. 00:33:35.31\00:33:36.64 And there's a team? 00:33:36.68\00:33:38.01 There's a team. 00:33:38.05\00:33:39.38 So you may meet one medical provider 00:33:39.41\00:33:41.52 but the whole team comes together, 00:33:41.55\00:33:43.15 and they will include the chiropractor, 00:33:43.18\00:33:44.69 they will include the mental health specialist, 00:33:44.72\00:33:46.45 they will include the nutritionist. 00:33:46.49\00:33:48.59 And they will come together, look over everything and say, 00:33:48.62\00:33:50.99 "Well, this is already been done. 00:33:51.03\00:33:52.49 What more can we do?" 00:33:52.53\00:33:53.86 These are the questions we want to ask. 00:33:53.90\00:33:55.36 But before they get here, this is what 00:33:55.40\00:33:56.83 we're first gonna start prescribing for them 00:33:56.87\00:33:58.80 for hydrotherapy. 00:33:58.83\00:34:00.17 We want them to stop maybe taking this herbal, 00:34:00.20\00:34:01.74 this supplement, 00:34:01.77\00:34:03.30 maybe requesting, maybe some extra blood work, 00:34:03.34\00:34:05.71 because it is time to get to the core, 00:34:05.74\00:34:07.78 seeing how far, you know, 00:34:07.81\00:34:10.55 some people really are coming in a far extent 00:34:10.58\00:34:13.05 with their disease. 00:34:13.08\00:34:14.78 So for 11 to 25 days, we're very honest with people 00:34:14.82\00:34:17.49 and letting them know... 00:34:17.52\00:34:18.92 A lot of times, we're really just the catalyst, 00:34:18.95\00:34:20.96 but we'll do the best we can, we will do the best we can. 00:34:20.99\00:34:23.56 And we're in this together. 00:34:23.59\00:34:25.49 So when they come, 00:34:25.53\00:34:27.06 there's already something laid out for them. 00:34:27.10\00:34:29.46 But we also saw a need for, 00:34:29.50\00:34:31.90 you know, not only disease reversal 00:34:31.93\00:34:35.47 which is one of our main programs 00:34:35.50\00:34:39.01 but we see so many mental health challenges today. 00:34:39.04\00:34:44.75 You know, maybe we can share a little bit 00:34:44.78\00:34:46.75 about that Life Alignment program. 00:34:46.78\00:34:48.42 So we first have a foundational program 00:34:48.45\00:34:51.52 called the Life Alignment program. 00:34:51.55\00:34:53.52 It encompass our eight laws of health 00:34:53.56\00:34:55.59 which we have the nutrition for the basic plant-based diet. 00:34:55.62\00:35:00.76 And we actually teach them how to make plant-based food, 00:35:00.80\00:35:03.63 bread making as well as we exercise with them. 00:35:03.67\00:35:06.80 We walk them every single day. 00:35:06.84\00:35:08.50 People know that about our campus, over 600 acres, 00:35:08.54\00:35:12.41 okay, we have trails as well. 00:35:12.44\00:35:14.31 So we teach them about sunlight, 00:35:14.34\00:35:15.81 getting out deep breathing, getting out in the air, 00:35:15.84\00:35:18.41 resting their body and their mind. 00:35:18.45\00:35:20.72 So as they are doing that 00:35:20.75\00:35:22.12 and having the group therapy sessions, okay, 00:35:22.15\00:35:24.42 that's another deep one, because as they're sitting 00:35:24.45\00:35:26.82 there discussing things that they're going on, 00:35:26.86\00:35:28.39 they'd be able to see life from God's point of view. 00:35:28.42\00:35:30.79 A lot of issues is said 00:35:30.83\00:35:32.89 that 9% of all diseases start in the mind, 00:35:32.93\00:35:35.46 but we have to tackle those thoughts, 00:35:35.50\00:35:37.37 so that's a Life Alignment program. 00:35:37.40\00:35:39.27 Then you have our depression recovery program 00:35:39.30\00:35:41.34 where we encompass that with a licensed therapist, 00:35:41.37\00:35:44.94 mental health specialist, okay? 00:35:44.97\00:35:46.91 So there, you really get even deeper. 00:35:46.94\00:35:49.51 And it's tackling again, those depression thoughts. 00:35:49.54\00:35:51.98 We even had for your testimony here, 00:35:52.01\00:35:54.72 we had a gentleman who just continued 00:35:54.75\00:35:57.19 to try to commit suicide before he came to Wildwood. 00:35:57.22\00:36:00.12 He had an eight-year-old daughter. 00:36:00.16\00:36:01.49 We kept saying, "Well, look at who you have." 00:36:01.52\00:36:03.63 He said, "But I can't live for here. 00:36:03.66\00:36:05.09 I don't want to live anymore." 00:36:05.13\00:36:06.46 And so he came to us, 00:36:06.49\00:36:07.83 he said, "This is the last straw. 00:36:07.86\00:36:09.46 If I can't get help here, I'm done. 00:36:09.50\00:36:11.83 And I won't say anything else." 00:36:11.87\00:36:13.64 And so, it was a blessing 00:36:13.67\00:36:15.57 because he worked 00:36:15.60\00:36:16.94 with our mental health specialist. 00:36:16.97\00:36:18.31 He said, "You know what? 00:36:18.34\00:36:19.67 I'll tell you this, 11 days is not enough." 00:36:19.71\00:36:21.68 He said, "You're just getting up 00:36:21.71\00:36:23.04 the fog in 11 days." 00:36:23.08\00:36:24.41 By 25 days, 00:36:24.45\00:36:25.78 he said, "I can see, I can understand." 00:36:25.81\00:36:28.18 You're talking about now almost a year, 00:36:28.22\00:36:29.82 two years later. 00:36:29.85\00:36:31.19 This man has now sent his friends and his family 00:36:31.22\00:36:33.89 to come to our program, he's living, he's working. 00:36:33.92\00:36:38.33 He has a closer relationship with his daughter. 00:36:38.36\00:36:40.90 I mean, this is what we're trying to help people see 00:36:40.93\00:36:43.87 that there's a bigger picture than our tunnel vision. 00:36:43.90\00:36:46.23 Yes. Okay. 00:36:46.27\00:36:47.90 That's the danger with, sometimes, 00:36:47.94\00:36:49.60 mental disease or even just depression alone. 00:36:49.64\00:36:52.14 We get so stuck on right now, and we don't see the future, 00:36:52.17\00:36:55.24 we don't see what God is doing. 00:36:55.28\00:36:56.81 And we want people to see that. 00:36:56.85\00:36:58.18 Yeah. 00:36:58.21\00:36:59.55 Well, it's hopelessness, 00:36:59.58\00:37:01.58 and it's like you're giving them hope in Christ, 00:37:01.62\00:37:04.65 and also its chemical imbalances, 00:37:04.69\00:37:08.69 you know, that need to be addressed. 00:37:08.72\00:37:10.26 I mean, there are all these different things 00:37:10.29\00:37:11.76 that need to be addressed. 00:37:11.79\00:37:13.13 But what you're doing, which is so great, 00:37:13.16\00:37:15.23 is you're looking at the entire person. 00:37:15.26\00:37:18.17 You know, many times, 00:37:18.20\00:37:19.53 we do leave the mental peace aside 00:37:19.57\00:37:23.81 and, well, we're just dealing with the physical. 00:37:23.84\00:37:26.07 No. 00:37:26.11\00:37:27.44 The whole being, we're mental, physical, spiritual, 00:37:27.48\00:37:31.08 you know, emotional beings. 00:37:31.11\00:37:32.48 So that has to be dealt with. 00:37:32.51\00:37:34.58 And so you're looking and dealing 00:37:34.62\00:37:36.25 with the whole person, 00:37:36.28\00:37:38.72 and you have things in place to deal with the whole person, 00:37:38.75\00:37:42.29 and that's tremendous. 00:37:42.32\00:37:43.66 And we even give them a one-on-one coach. 00:37:43.69\00:37:46.06 So they are able to create goals 00:37:46.09\00:37:48.20 why they're there, 00:37:48.23\00:37:49.56 and actually prepare them to go home. 00:37:49.60\00:37:51.70 So they're not just trying to figure it all out 00:37:51.73\00:37:53.77 because when they get home, it's back to habit. 00:37:53.80\00:37:56.24 So we start tackling things now. 00:37:56.27\00:37:58.14 Why did you get here now? 00:37:58.17\00:37:59.51 How do we prepare you to go back home and fight? 00:37:59.54\00:38:02.04 And so they have, at least, 00:38:02.08\00:38:03.41 each one a one-on-one counselor. 00:38:03.45\00:38:04.78 Coach, right. 00:38:04.81\00:38:06.15 One of the problems that we saw, 00:38:06.18\00:38:08.55 you know, and we've recognized this over the years. 00:38:08.58\00:38:12.65 You know, we have a person, let's say, for 11 or 25 days, 00:38:12.69\00:38:16.56 and like Raven just said, now they go home. 00:38:16.59\00:38:18.99 And now what? 00:38:19.03\00:38:20.36 And many people get back into that old habit grove, 00:38:20.40\00:38:24.20 and they can't seem to break out of it, 00:38:24.23\00:38:26.23 and soon they're back to their old habits. 00:38:26.27\00:38:28.70 And the program doesn't work anymore. 00:38:28.74\00:38:32.04 So we've partnered with a ministry 00:38:32.07\00:38:35.18 and we have a 90-day follow up program 00:38:35.21\00:38:39.88 that's web based where groups can go on. 00:38:39.91\00:38:45.45 They can watch a webinar, they can ask questions 00:38:45.49\00:38:48.86 and get specific answers for some of the challenges 00:38:48.89\00:38:51.86 that they're dealing with. 00:38:51.89\00:38:53.29 There's recipes that are shared, 00:38:53.33\00:38:56.06 there's cooking demonstrations that are given. 00:38:56.10\00:38:58.60 And the person is encouraged to keep with the program 00:38:58.63\00:39:03.14 that they've started, 00:39:03.17\00:39:04.67 keep with the habits that they formed, 00:39:04.71\00:39:07.04 and so that habit can become entrenched. 00:39:07.08\00:39:09.94 And so we have almost 100 days of, 00:39:09.98\00:39:13.95 you know, helping a person adapt to a lifestyle 00:39:13.98\00:39:19.82 adhering to the eight laws of health. 00:39:19.85\00:39:21.59 Oh, that's tremendous, 00:39:21.62\00:39:23.26 because what happens, you know, 00:39:23.29\00:39:25.66 when people come to a program, 00:39:25.69\00:39:27.66 they come there, they learn things 00:39:27.70\00:39:31.03 that they can apply when they go home. 00:39:31.07\00:39:33.13 But when they go home, 00:39:33.17\00:39:34.50 they go back into the same situation 00:39:34.54\00:39:36.00 that led them there in the first place, 00:39:36.04\00:39:37.77 so how do you keep the momentum going? 00:39:37.81\00:39:42.54 This is a great idea, a 90-day follow up. 00:39:42.58\00:39:46.35 Follow up program, yeah. 00:39:46.38\00:39:48.08 And we have another one too. 00:39:48.12\00:39:49.58 You know, some of our guests come there. 00:39:49.62\00:39:51.59 We've seen this over the years. 00:39:51.62\00:39:53.52 I've seen it, you know, being involved in this over, 00:39:53.56\00:39:56.26 especially, the last 10 years. 00:39:56.29\00:39:57.99 People are coming there, they are sicker than 00:39:58.03\00:40:01.26 what our lifestyle center can usually handle. 00:40:01.30\00:40:03.77 And so sometimes, 00:40:03.80\00:40:05.93 our guests will leave and they're not quite ready, 00:40:05.97\00:40:09.00 they still need help. 00:40:09.04\00:40:10.37 And so we've also have another ministry 00:40:10.41\00:40:12.14 that's partnering with us 00:40:12.17\00:40:14.24 that they'll provide help in the home. 00:40:14.28\00:40:16.38 Oh, this is great. 00:40:16.41\00:40:17.75 And so that we can actually, 00:40:17.78\00:40:19.71 you know, carry forward the treatment, 00:40:19.75\00:40:23.49 and that person can be able to regain their health. 00:40:23.52\00:40:27.26 Oh, that's tremendous. 00:40:27.29\00:40:28.99 Because now, you've got help at the site, 00:40:29.02\00:40:32.93 help post site, 00:40:32.96\00:40:34.66 and then help within the home as well. 00:40:34.70\00:40:37.73 So this helps to really solidify the program. 00:40:37.77\00:40:42.54 I think we have another video that we can show that, 00:40:42.57\00:40:45.77 kind of, will bring some more light on this. 00:40:45.81\00:40:47.84 Okay. 00:40:47.88\00:40:51.61 The Christ manifests Himself here, 00:40:51.65\00:40:53.45 I believe, because this place is attracting people 00:40:53.48\00:40:57.02 from all over the world. 00:40:57.05\00:40:58.59 Secret of Wildwood success is the presence of Jesus. 00:40:58.62\00:41:03.26 They come with the lifestyle related diseases 00:41:03.29\00:41:06.13 such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, drug abuse, 00:41:06.16\00:41:10.97 sometimes mental problems. 00:41:11.00\00:41:12.87 Patients come here 00:41:12.90\00:41:14.24 and they see doctor or nurse practitioner, 00:41:14.27\00:41:17.34 and we create individualized program 00:41:17.37\00:41:20.31 for them. 00:41:20.34\00:41:21.68 We strongly believe in lifestyle change. 00:41:21.71\00:41:24.58 Eight laws of health 00:41:24.61\00:41:25.95 is the foundation of everything. 00:41:25.98\00:41:27.58 I believe that there's a place for conventional medicines. 00:41:27.62\00:41:31.45 And we also use a lot of natural remedies. 00:41:31.49\00:41:35.49 We have the whole team that work together, 00:41:35.52\00:41:37.86 which includes a medical provider, 00:41:37.89\00:41:40.56 lifestyle coaches, counselor, and chaplain. 00:41:40.60\00:41:44.13 People expect a chaplain to be spiritual. 00:41:44.17\00:41:48.40 What they don't expect 00:41:48.44\00:41:49.77 is a phlebotomist to be spiritual. 00:41:49.80\00:41:53.31 And many of the guests, they always testify 00:41:53.34\00:41:56.58 that they came for the physical healing 00:41:56.61\00:41:59.25 but they praise God that their soul is healed. 00:41:59.28\00:42:03.45 I came here 00:42:03.49\00:42:04.82 because I suffered from a nervous breakdown. 00:42:04.85\00:42:07.29 I suffered from heart disease, chronic kidney failure, 00:42:07.32\00:42:10.83 congestive heart failure, 00:42:10.86\00:42:13.13 high blood pressure, high cholesterol, 00:42:13.16\00:42:15.56 sleep apnea, and morbidly obesity. 00:42:15.60\00:42:19.07 I heard the fearful words. 00:42:19.10\00:42:21.47 You have extremely aggressive, stage-four endometrial cancer. 00:42:21.50\00:42:26.44 We strongly recommend chemotherapy 00:42:26.47\00:42:29.08 and radiation following surgery. 00:42:29.11\00:42:32.25 However, 00:42:32.28\00:42:33.62 your life expectancy 00:42:33.65\00:42:34.98 for making it two years is zero, 00:42:35.02\00:42:37.65 and even six months is doubtful. 00:42:37.69\00:42:40.06 This will take your life. 00:42:40.09\00:42:43.19 Due to my illnesses, 00:42:43.22\00:42:45.23 I stay very, very depressed a lot of the time. 00:42:45.26\00:42:49.60 And the thing is, I had unresolved trauma. 00:42:49.63\00:42:52.67 You know, growing up, it was a happy home, 00:42:52.70\00:42:55.50 but it was a home where there was a lot of abuse. 00:42:55.54\00:42:57.57 And in the end, 00:42:57.61\00:42:59.04 I drop my daughter off with a friend and honestly, 00:42:59.07\00:43:02.81 I was gonna just drive my car off the bridge to be honest. 00:43:02.84\00:43:06.21 And somehow by the grace of God, 00:43:06.25\00:43:08.65 I landed at Behavioral Health Hospital. 00:43:08.68\00:43:11.15 After surgery, I returned to my Wildwood family, 00:43:11.19\00:43:14.62 began claiming God's healing promises 00:43:14.66\00:43:17.63 and cooperated with Him in this simple health program 00:43:17.66\00:43:20.50 that my Wildwood physician worked out for me. 00:43:20.53\00:43:23.16 So I kind of wanted to come 00:43:23.20\00:43:24.80 just so I can kind of check out the program 00:43:24.83\00:43:26.84 and see if they could help me 00:43:26.87\00:43:28.27 with the few of my health concerns. 00:43:28.30\00:43:30.27 I had been calling Wildwood in the midst of all that, 00:43:30.31\00:43:33.68 like maybe for six months or so, 00:43:33.71\00:43:36.04 and I would just call and you know, 00:43:36.08\00:43:38.11 asking about the Life Alignment program. 00:43:38.15\00:43:40.75 I don't know how, 00:43:40.78\00:43:42.12 but my husband found me in the hospital 00:43:42.15\00:43:44.72 and the Life Alignment program, they called him, 00:43:44.75\00:43:47.69 they set it up for me to come. 00:43:47.72\00:43:49.96 The experience here has been great, 00:43:49.99\00:43:53.46 and the program, it actually works. 00:43:53.50\00:43:55.86 One year after surgery, my surgeon exclaimed, 00:43:55.90\00:43:59.13 "I saw with my own eyes, the cancer was everywhere. 00:43:59.17\00:44:03.07 There is no way we got it all. 00:44:03.10\00:44:05.34 What is happening with you 00:44:05.37\00:44:06.88 is nothing shorter than miracle." 00:44:06.91\00:44:09.44 I started to have peace. 00:44:09.48\00:44:11.01 I was able to forgive those who had abused me in my family. 00:44:11.05\00:44:15.42 I was an insulin dependent diabetic, 00:44:15.45\00:44:17.79 but since I've been here, 00:44:17.82\00:44:19.15 I haven't had to take one shot of insulin. 00:44:19.19\00:44:21.86 When I walked in, I weighed 308. 00:44:21.89\00:44:24.23 When I'm walking now, I weigh 264 pounds. 00:44:24.26\00:44:28.20 Three and a half years 00:44:28.23\00:44:29.66 after being given a death sentence, 00:44:29.70\00:44:31.93 I rejoice in the gift of life and second chances. 00:44:31.97\00:44:35.70 Our God is a mighty healer. 00:44:35.74\00:44:37.74 Was that powerful or what? 00:44:50.72\00:44:53.32 That was powerful. 00:44:53.36\00:44:54.69 You know, it's one thing to hear you talk about it, 00:44:54.72\00:44:57.99 it's another to actually see people 00:44:58.03\00:45:00.10 who have lived through it 00:45:00.13\00:45:01.80 and who have gone through the program 00:45:01.83\00:45:03.50 or going through the program, and they're really healing. 00:45:03.53\00:45:07.30 What a blessing that is. 00:45:07.34\00:45:08.80 How gratifying it must be to see God's principles 00:45:08.84\00:45:12.81 that work and to see that they really do work. 00:45:12.84\00:45:15.94 That is He still in the business of healing. 00:45:15.98\00:45:17.75 Yes, yes. 00:45:17.78\00:45:19.11 They're even doing better. 00:45:19.15\00:45:20.48 Kendrick actually... 00:45:20.52\00:45:22.42 We actually talked to him right before we came here. 00:45:22.45\00:45:24.92 He lost 20 extra pounds, he's off the CPAP machine, 00:45:24.95\00:45:28.66 he's able to sleep better. 00:45:28.69\00:45:30.03 Oh, that's incredible. 00:45:30.06\00:45:32.13 Praise the Lord. 00:45:32.16\00:45:33.50 Mia, Mia is actually now doing 00:45:33.53\00:45:35.06 and heading our Life Alignment program. 00:45:35.10\00:45:37.83 Wonderful. 00:45:37.87\00:45:39.20 Four years later, Alison is now... 00:45:39.23\00:45:42.47 She's in hydrotherapy, 00:45:42.50\00:45:44.04 and she's actually one of our therapists 00:45:44.07\00:45:46.57 who was just touching so many people with her life. 00:45:46.61\00:45:49.44 I mean, with her testimony of her life.
