You say diseases are caused by sin. Diseases as plural meaning many or in your case all.

Disease as defined- a specific illness or disorder characterized by a recognizable set of signs and symptoms attributable to heredity, infection, diet, or environment.

Acanthamoeba is a microscopic, free-living ameba, or amoeba* (single-celled living organism), that can cause rare**, but severe infections of the eye, skin, and central nervous system. The ameba is found worldwide in the environment in water and soil. The ameba can be spread to the eyes through contact lens use, cuts, or skin wounds or by being inhaled into the lungs.

Most people will be exposed to Acanthamoeba during their lifetime, but very few will become sick from this exposure.

The three diseases caused by Acanthamoeba are:

Acanthamoeba keratitis – An infection of the eye that typically occurs in healthy persons and can result in permanent visual impairment or blindness.

Granulomatous Amebic Encephalitis (GAE) – A serious infection of the brain and spinal cord that typically occurs in persons with a compromised immune system.

Disseminated infection – A widespread infection that can affect the skin, sinuses, lungs, and other organs independently or in combination. It is also more common in persons with a compromised immune system.

So tell me is a disease caused by a Acanthamoeba the aftermath of personal sin? How about hereditary like your mom? How about environment as in this example of a Amoeba? Are all infections caused by sin? Are all diseases from diet due to sin?

Was the cure of polio witchcraft stuff? When I was going to school for firefighting or fire science technology. We was taught rescue techniques and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. Hepatitis B has many times infected people trying to save the hosts life. To just name one example.

From a theological standpoint you could say diseases was caused by the fall of the world after the first sin. The fallen broken world is the first source.

Someone didn't tell Jesus that lotions and potions are of the Devil.

Luke 10:33-35 New International Version (NIV)
33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’


Also kinda funny because Luke was a physician.
Yup all the diseases are caused by sin; uncleanliness, whoredoms, and evil spirits.

Luke was a physician until he met Jesus, praise Jesus.

From the discussion, I have learned alot. There are hard/hash and very soft one. In some comments, I feel like blaming myself and/or blame God for first of all giving me life in a community where it's been mystery all along, Good through all I have been through and now that by his grace I found myself in a safer environment, I discovered I was a carrier of a deathly virus. what come in my mind is that for years, even in the most deplorable situation, the disease has been there. I have not had any strange illness neither have I had any life threatening situation that is cause by it. What is more important now is how I can raise money to to do the count rate, and the other liver test that have been prescribed and see you I can start taking the medication as soon as possible. my life have always been summarized in Isaiah 43: 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

I was thinking right this moment actually that the Lord Jesus is really hated here, but said to him I'd praise him anyways.

Seeing this notification and post makes me think of Jesus healing the blind man. It does make me wonder if you think Jesus or the mud healed the blind man? Praise Jesus.
Your also assuming all people are only healed by God.
Yup all the diseases are caused by sin; uncleanliness, whoredoms, and evil spirits.

You can not prove either of these things as to why you couldn't answer any of my questions.

Hello I am sorry for not speaking to you directly but yes get connected to a church, go public with your crisis and let the people of God and God move through others to help you. Start a GoFundMe page and accept help where you can get it. God can miraculously heal but also heals through the hands of others.

That’s a good question let’s ponder the ways, here’s a few more.

spoke to the dead to rise, spoke to a parent and their child was healed from afar, spoke to a man to pick up his mate who was crippled.

so why do you think he used mud for surely He could have just spoke it.

Goodness, the level of ignorance on here re medical conditions astounds me!
God has nothing whatsoever to do with you contracting Hep B. It is annoying to see that some people on here seem to think people 'deserve' illnesses, like AIDS, HIV, etc. Nobody, despite leading a riskly lifestyle, 'deserves' an illness. They deserve compassion and help, with a non judgemental attitude. Think how you would feel if you were suddenly told you had contracted an illness where you had to change your lifestyle. You would want help, not condemnation or lectures - which don't help the situation anyway.
It is an illness like any other, and needs the proper treatment, by seeing a qualified doctor, not a herbalist. I think this herbalist is trying to scare you unccecessarily by telling you cos you're poor, that you will die. Did the herbalist also tell you that only his herbs/treatment can help you? How much are they charging?
Hep B is not a death sentence like it used to be. Hep B basically causes scarring of the liver, so that the liver cells can't function. Most times, if you rest, eat well, stop drinking & smoking, keep your stress levels down etc (see link below for more info) you wil recover, but this can take a long time (maybe a year or more). Your doctor should be able to give you more info & there are numerous websites you can view. You can get a vaccination for Hep B, and also one for Hep A & Hep B (Twinrix). In some cases, you can still have a vaccination after you have contracted the illness, to help guard against further liver damage.
If you live in a poorer community, see if the local hospital/clinic will treat you for free, or try to contact AID agencies such as Medicine Sans Frontiers (MSF). There may be a free clinic near to you that can help.

Hope you feel better soon :)

Hello, friend. I’m praying that God will work in a miraculous way in your situation, provide healing and all the resources you need as you lean upon Him. May He be your source of strength and encouragement each day.

50:15 Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.

Thank you so much for you wise counsel. It's doesn't matter what anybody on here say. If i die, it's the lord's will and if i live, glory be to God.

I have been ralking to a doctor and was given some test to do. They were four tests all together. i have done Hepatitis Delta test and the viral load. Am trusting God for mean to do living function teat and Transaminase.

The Doctor said treatment takes about two years and 200000frs a month(400USD). I have surrendered everything to the Almighty. His will will be done in my life.

God bless you

Foods to improve liver functioning/health:

Garlic
Lemons
Beets and Carrots
Green Tea
Kale
Cabbage
Turmeric
Walnuts
Avocados
Apples

Oregano oil is an anti-viral, though should not be taken over long periods.
Milk Thistle is also known to help improve liver health.

I had hep B over 40 years ago, twice, and suffer no ill effects of it to this day.
I was also diagnosed about 20 years ago with Hep C, but it miraculously healed :)


It is possible I'd had Hep C for longer, but they were not testing for it then...

Berries, leafy greens, coffee, cruciferous veggies, lentils, tomatoes, grapes, grapefruit, prickly pear, nuts, fatty fish, olive oil... all are good support for liver function, raising antioxidant and detoxification enzyme levels and offering protection from harmful toxins.

Things to avoid:

Alcohol
Sugar and refined carbohydrates
Oils that contain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including canola oil, soybean oil,
sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, peanut oil, and vegetable oil
Fried foods

There are many people who don't die from Hep B. Hep C is the biggest killer, because there is no vaccine as yet for this condition. You can be vaccinated for both Hep A & Hep B - the vaccine here is called Twinrix and it is not very expensive compared to getting the disease (under some medical conditions, you can get it for free).
Supportive measures as suggested by Magenta are great. There are many things you can do to support your condition. See: https://www.hepvic.org.au/page/9/hepatitis-b-living-well
I am sorry it is costing you so much. Where I live, we are blessed to have a free health care system (some, certain type of tests etc are either subsidised or you only pay part of the cost for).
I'd still look into contacting any aid / support or social welfare agencies to see if they offer free or subsidised health care. Your own government may help you with funding if you ask them.
I am sorry you are going through this, but Hep B is a very manageable illness, and is usually not fatal, so don't despair!
I hope you are getting the right treatment and that you are seeing a hepatologist (a liver specialist) at least a few times for follow up & treatment.
I will continue to pray for you! :)
