Scholarship Recipient Finds New Lease on Life through OHI

Lisa Williams was facing a life-threatening health opportunity.  “I had 5+ months of aggressive chemotherapy for breast cancer, and was also placed in an international clinical trial with an immunology drug.  I had lumpectomy surgery with lymph nodes removed, and while no cancer was found, I had complications and collateral damage from the chemo and the surgery.  I suffered from debilitating arthritic pain and could barely walk or sleep.  My doctors wanted me to continue with aggressive radiation, but my WBC (white blood cell) counts had never recovered from chemo.  All I wanted to do was detox from all the drugs and heal my body.  My friend, Elena, who had been to OHI several times, told me about the scholarship program, and encouraged me to apply.  Within days I was accepted.  It was a true miracle!”

Lisa fully embraced the program.  “My first week at OHI was a little rough,” she admitted, “but I followed the program, attended all the classes, exercised every morning, and did the juice fast.  On the fifth night, I realized my pain was completely GONE, and my hands were no longer numb from neuropathy.  On the eighth day, I walked eight miles and could sleep through the night.  The second week I had a blood test done and found my WBCs had nearly doubled and were in the normal range.  This program truly gives the body the ability to heal itself.”

The emotional component to Lisa’s healing was also vital to her overall health.  “As soon as I arrived at OHI, I allowed myself just to feel it all — the tears, the grief, the stress.  The energy sessions at the massage center also helped me a great deal.”

Lisa’s gratitude for the OHI scholarship is palpable.  “I feel so blessed to have been able to come to OHI for the full three-week program,” she said.  “My time there gave me my life back.  I am grateful to be alive and enjoying every precious moment.  It takes courage to go outside your comfort zone and invest in yourself.  But OHI’s amazing health and wellness education is a game-changer.  YOU ARE WORTH IT!”
