When we were asked to do this testimony, it was not hard to decide what we wanted to talk about, as this subject has been dear to our hearts for a long time. The subject of health. Some may not have thought about it, but the subject of healthful living, includes Gods entire universe, all living creatures and also the preservation of it. It is our hearts desire to share the following information with you, as well as feeling strongly impressed to do so.
We will start by explaining how the turning point in our lives came. Just before we got married, Ingrid's doctor suggested that she go on a contraceptive pill. As a result her hormones were really messed up and her immune system started to malfunction, and as a result she started to suffer from colds and influenzas on a regular basis. Another doctor prescribed antibiotics, which compounded her problems. This was very frustrating for her, as she was raised a vegetarian and had on top of that, always been the most healthy and fit member of her family. She had always been eating raw fruit, vegetables, drinking lots of water and following a strict exercise regime. Many times during our marriage, she relayed how in those days, she always felt the closest to her Maker when she was eating from God's garden.
After months of using antibiotics, Ingrid suddenly started to suffer from serious eczema. In addition, to worsen her health problems we had started using the flesh of animals as part of our diet. For 12 long years, not one single doctor could offer a sound reason or solution for her eczema problem! .
We sadly found out that, unfortunately most doctors know nothing about the health message and therefore can offer no solutions. They have no idea, that that what you eat has a lot to do with creating or curing health problems! After about 12 years of agony, her parents suggested that she go and see an excellently qualified and well known herbal doctor in Stellenbosch (the town where we had lived), South Africa.
