Gary Brecka describes severe health collapse marked by blackouts and constant fatigue, then credits faith and hope as his turning point. His recovery led to the book Patient Heal Thyself and a photograph that made others believe they could heal too.
Chapters
What gave you that conviction that this was day one of me turning around? The Bible calls it the gift of faith. And I know why, because my life revolved around feeling terrible, reading health books, listening to Christian worship music to encourage me. It was almost like my feet were moving for me to that closet. Now, I'd walked to that closet 1,000 times because the bathroom was right next to it. And sometimes I would black out because I had such challenges nutritionally. It was almost just like my feet were carrying me. And I'm so glad that I did that because I went on to be healed. And my first book was called Patient Heal Thyself. And that photograph did more for people than any of the products I formulated, than any of the content I shared, because it gave them hope. If he can do it, I can do it. And I could have so easily said no. It's a rare feat for somebody to proclaim their testimony when they're dealing with their crud. Faith is proclaiming the mountaintop when you're lying face down naked in the valley.
