Kidney Stones


    
              Dialysis No More!

      This story was shared by Liz at a Johrei Service. I didn't have an opportunity to get more details from her, and soon after she moved to Europe. So, to the best of my ability, this is her amazing story.
     Liz had a condition where her body was producing too much calcium. As a result she was in the emergency room on a regular basis because she kept getting kidney stones which are extremely painful. Some say they are as bad, if not worse than child birth! After years of dealing with this condition, the doctors suggested dialysis as the only means of alleviating her problem. 
     Liz began kidney dialysis every other day. She said she had no quality of life, because either she was on the dialysis machine or recovering from the dialysis the next day. The doctors had even gone so far as to surgically implant a shunt on her chest, which one could see when she wore scoop necked shirts or dresses. 
     Somehow, Liz was introduced to Johrei. I began to see her regularly at the Center where she would receive at least one Johrei each time. She must have gotten Johrei on a regular basis for about 2-3 months, when one day, she got up and shared her healing story.
     She said that she had gone to her doctor in the past month and he said that he had no way to explain it but her blood test results no longer showed that she had a problem. He said he didn't know what she was doing, but whatever it was, she should keep it up.
     Encouraged, Liz decided to have another conversation with her doctor a few weeks later. She said that she wanted to try to go without the dialysis. The doctor strongly cautioned against it, feeling that it was too risky, but Liz insisted and so they decided to give it a try. She stopped the dialysis. 
     Days passed and then weeks. She went for regular blood tests, all of which could no longer detect her original problem. Finally, she declared herself cured and asked the doctor to remove her shunt, which he reluctantly did. 
     When she was sharing her story, she was soft-spoken and radiant. She expressed her gratitude before everyone, which was difficult for her, because she said she was a very private person, but her healing story was so amazing, she just had to share it with everyone.
