God's Healing Touch

This summer I journeyed to Indiana to visit an Amish man whom God has given the gift of healing.  His name is Solomon Wickey.  He uses iridology (examining the iris of the eye), applied kinesiology and prayer to determine what is wrong with a person and if it is God’s will healing can occur.  I first heard about Solomon when my friend in Ohio went to see him last year and was healed from both dysautonomia and lupus.

In July I had my first visit to see Solomon.  He is an elderly, Amish man.  Simple, humble, and I found out he is funny.  When it was my time to see him I sat in a chair facing him while he asked what was troubling me.  I had a horrible headache the morning I went to see Solomon. I told him I had a brain lesion and that my autonomic nervous system did not function properly – that my brain did not send the correct signals to my body to function the way it should.  I told him about my tremors, pain, and erratic heart rate. He looked at me, smiled and said “well, we know that cannot be because you are a blonde”.  Ha ha ha!  I almost started laughing hysterically – the Amish man was telling a blond joke!  I smiled, lightly laughed and said nope.  He asked me to remove my glasses so he could examine my eyes.  He then had me hold my right arm out and laid his hand on it, lightly pushing it down.  He closed his eyes for a brief period of time, quietly speaking in prayer. Next he picked up a bottle of some type of herb, again softly praying. He asked me if I had metal in my mouth.  What an odd question, I thought.  I told him I had a couple old silver fillings. He told me some of my health  problems are from mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning! I have amalgam dental fillings.  This type of filling is silver and mercury.  Solomon told me they needed to be removed, that the mercury is leaking into my body & they are slowly poisoning me. He said once they are removed I also needed to detox any traces of mercury from my body.  He suggested a teaspoon of vegetable glycerin for three weeks to “draw” the metal.  The mercury would bind to it and pass safely from my body.  This revelation did not surprise me; my neurologist/autonomic specialist at Froedtert/Medical College of WI had suspected and tested for various types of metal poisonings but the lab tests he had conducted came back "in normal range" so it was not pursued; well, in people with a chronic, genetic illness any levels of elevated metal in the body can be dangerous, toxic and will continue to kill cells. I was told if I don't rid my body of the metal I will continue to get sicker.  I had a massive headache before my appointment, when I left it was completely gone and I felt peaceful.

This was now a matter of trust and obedience and God would know this.  It was no coincidence that the one and only thing I would be asked to do would be something difficult for me.  I hate going to the dentist.  I had to decide if I would ignore the healing message God gave Solomon for me or I could be obedient and trust to have healing in my life.  The week after my appointment with Solomon Wickey I made an appointment with the dentist to have my amalgam fillings safely removed; I then did the three weeks of mercury detoxification.
The night I saw Solomon I slept through the night for the first time in many, many years and have continued sleeping through the night since.  My muscle tremors have stopped and my cognitive function has improved.  I completed a 5k walk at the end of July with no side effects.  Last year I participated in the same event and needed to go to the emergency room after for IV fluids because it took such a toll on my autonomic system.

I made a second trip to see Solomon in August.  I wanted to ask him about the headaches and unequal pupil dilation I experience.  At this appointment he again examined my eyes - he could see significant healing.  Solomon laid hands on my forehead and said my brain lesion was gone.  He then had me hold my right arm out, laid his hand on it, lightly pushing it down & prayed.  Next he laid hands on my neck and told me he had “released” my thyroid.  I asked him if I needed to do anything else or take any herbs or supplements.  He said no.  I thanked him…He replied, “thank God”.  I smiled at him and told him I thank God each day.  Solomon smiled back.


In the weeks since my second visit to see Solomon I have had no more headaches or visual disturbances.  I am continuing to sleep well at night.  I have no pain or muscle tremors.  My heart rate and blood pressure have been stable. 

 

The type of dysautonomia I have is genetic; if God allows me to live more “symptom free” it is a blessing.  If He chooses to allow some “thorn” to remain to keep me humble & under His wing that is also a blessing.  Either way, I am grateful, loved and His chosen.
People who do not believe in God & healing may not understand this.  This is a faith journey.  It is God doing what God does.
God has given this gentle, humble Amish man the gift to heal...what a perfect way for God to work.  To choose a man that will use the gift freely for only God’s glory and purposes.  Solomon charges no money to heal.  He uses the gift God gave him to serve and honor God.

Sometimes we cannot find the words to describe what happens when the hand of God reaches down and touches our life...we just need to let our heart & soul be overflowing with gratitude.

I am blessed beyond measure.
