The Medical Basis
of Oksana's Healing
Dr. Stephen Paine
Asthma is a hypersensitive state of the airways. It is associated with an imbalance in the immune system and the nervous system.
When there is a narrowing of the airways, the result is a build up of mucus and carbon dioxide. In this state, air can be freely inhaled but is blocked from being exhaled.
When Oksana resolved her fear of losing her parents, she removed a cause of the hypersensitivity that caused airway blockages.
Frequency of Asthma
Based on US Government statistics, 16 million adults and 6.8 million children suffer from asthma. Each year, office based doctors receive 12.8 million visits from patients who are seeking relief from asthma
Traditional Treatment of Asthma
Common treatments of asthma include oral medications like bronchodilators and leukotriene inhibitors. Steroids which are very powerful inflammation fighters may also be used but can have serious side affects. For serious attacks, oxygen may be used to assist breathing.

Video: Oksana Discovered the Secret to Clearing Up Her Asthma
Oksana is a sixteen-year-old from Belarus who suffered for many years from asthma and heart arrhythmias. When she learned the connection between fear and asthma and took the proper steps of action, her asthma and her heart arrhythmias immediately cleared up.
Physiological Symptoms
For several years, I suffered from asthma, heart arrhythmias, and other health problems. Then one day I learned that my asthma might be caused by a fear of being abandoned. I was asked if I was afraid of losing my parents. I replied, "Yes. Two or three times a week I have nightmares of my parents dying. Before coming to America with my father, I had nightmares every night!"
Fear and Heart Arrhythmias
In order to get release from my asthma, I used inhalers. These opened up my nasal passages for a short while. However, I believe that they also affected my blood.
I learned that around every blood cell there are two layers of electrolytes, one is positive and the other is negative. When they are in balance and strong, my blood cells disperse throughout my body. However, if they are out of balance and weak, my blood cells will stick together and will cause lack of circulation. Signs of this are cold hands and feet. My hands and feet were always cold!
Conquering My Fear
"I learned that the "secret" of overcoming my fear of abandonment was to place my parents on God's altar in the same way that Abraham placed his only son, Isaac, on the altar.
This meant that if God allowed my parents to continue being with me, I would thank God. But if he took them away from me, I would also thank Him. In either case, I would thank God because I knew that He had my best interests at heart.
I knelt down and sincerely gave my parents to God. It was a very meaningful time for me and afterwards my fear stopped. I no longer worry about losing them. They are in God's hands and I know that He will take good care of them.
Steps of Healing
Now that my fear was overcome, I followed the steps of healing given in James 5:14-16. These included being anointed with oil and having elders pray for my healing. Then the entire staff at the IBLP Headquarters cried out to God for my complete healing.
Since that day, I have not needed any inhalers, I can breathe easily, my hands and feet are warm, I have no asthma or heart arrymthias, and there are no more nightmares. I am healed and I praise God!!
