A viewer asks: “I have psoriatic arthritis and take Humira injections (a biologic). It helps with symptoms and compromises my immune system. I’ve been wanting to stop the injections, especially now. I will read the Medical Medium. I want to take that leap of faith and stop the injections and focus on prayer. Good idea? Bad idea?”

We cannot give personal medical advice for a number of reasons, including the fact it is illegal on the part of your channel to do so and we must be mindful of all the potential complications and adopt a uniform policy rather than make exceptions for individual cases. We do suggest divine healing many times for people and, in that way, can help sort through the thicket and give some insight to your channel about a person’s circumstances, but that is often done behind the scenes and without a public declaration about a diagnosis or something contrary to an official diagnosis. There may be exceptions when a person is open to alternative interpretations and certainly when there is a categorical misunderstanding about a medical disorder, we can talk in the abstract about such things without making direct suggestions to a sufferer as to what they should do or not do with respect to medical advice they are following. Many times a medical strategy is adopted because it has demonstrable benefits. In this case, alleviation of serious and distressing symptoms. A divine intervention can be done regardless of whether medical therapy is underway or not. So one need not interfere with a medical treatment to add on prayer work and healing work with the Lightworker Healing Protocol. Then you may have the best of both worlds—a symptomatic relief while ongoing divine healing is working behind the scenes to do what might be needed in the way of deep karmic repair, for example, that could take a good long while to be effective. In the case of a viral condition, there can be straightforward removal of the virus, but even that might be complicated if there are deep inner beliefs in the persistence of the disorder and that could limit the extent of divine rescue or the pacing. There are many steps to healing. Reducing vulnerability and overcoming the negative beliefs that have developed over years, in many cases, of being trapped as the victim of a chronic disorder that is unlikely to resolve can become a major impediment to a thorough and timely improvement. With many variables in play, it may be unwise to simply stop a medical treatment that is benefitting you, with faith and hope there will be a quick cure. If there is a flare of the disease that cannot yet be surmounted by the divine work that is commencing, this may undermine your faith and cause extra complications in the bargain. So we are not speaking of you and predicting this would happen. We are using your question to frame a general response to such considerations, that it is often prudent to go slowly and work with the divine, and if a person becomes asymptomatic, at that point a gradual withdrawal of medication will be more acceptable to the physician and is always best done under medical supervision. Many people get into trouble by abruptly terminating medication when a tapering over time is quite important for health reasons because of what goes on chemically in the body during withdrawal. It is easier to prevent viral conditions and treat it at the earliest stages than it is to reverse everything that develops with a long-term chronic disease. This can become frustrating and a long-term proposition, and this is why we suggest going step-by-step and not simply abandon what you are doing that may well be giving you useful support symptomatically.
