Is my wife's family cursed?	Adrian	Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Question: I met my wife in 2004. I was a healthy 24 year old then. two years into out relationships I developed an autoimmune disorder called inflammatory bowel disease. Since then I have developed an immune disorder on my skin and I have just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which could turn out to be cancer. I am no longer healthy. My family and extended family are healthy. My wife was diagnosed at 30 years old in 2010 with breast cancer and has a double mastectomy. Her sister dies of cystic fibrosis and her younger sister also has cystic fibrosis. In 2007 her younger sister had a lung transplant. The young man who donated his liver (her long time friend) had complications and lay on his death bed for months. he now is on medication for life has lost a leg. He was healthy before. Diabetes runs in my wife's family. Almost all her siblings have it. Her mother just had thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed. My wife's father is 58 and has developed Parkinsons and is almost completely rigid from it. My wife's brother's daughter was born with only one chamber in her heart and had to go through multiple operations to help her live. My daughter has hearing issues and now because my wife is on the drug Tamoxifen we cannot have any more children until 2016 when my wife will be 36 and God knows what complications we could fall into with pregnancy. It seems the family is riddled with ailments and diseases and misfortunes and anyone who comes into contact with the family ends up having ailments and diseases and misfortunes. Is this family cursed and if so what can we do? I am at my wits end and in despair with this situation because the only future I see is more sickness for my family.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), CCL, LTh, DD, LNDC Dear Adrian: Is there any reason for you to think that a family curse may exit? What I mean is was there any particular incident that you know of that started all this — a family member involved in the occult or playing around with occult things, like a Ouija Board, an acquaintance or neighbor who practice occult who may have a motive of revenge?, etc. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease, In fact, I am a carrier. Two of the three sons of my Uncle died from it. It is not likely that a genetic disease can be caused by a curse. Complications from donating a liver are not uncommon. Diabetes is also a very common disease. Birth defects, such as having only one chamber in the heart also have definable causes. The bottomline, all that you list, while tragic and unfortunate all have common natural explanations. On the other hand, when a family seems to fit the cliché, "If it were not for bad luck I'd have no luck at all," that is not caused by personal behavioral patterns, there is a possibility of a curse, spell, or some sort of sorcery. The victim(s) of the curse can be completely innocent and have done nothing to invite it. The source can be a person seeking revenge that the victim(s) have no knowledge, or the source can be an ancestor who did something to cause a "family curse." If anyone in the family has been playing around with occult paraphernalia or practices, hanging around people who do, or been living sinful lifestyles, messing with drugs or pornography, or the like, those persons need to stop, repent, and clean up their lives.

Adrian

Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Question:

I met my wife in 2004. I was a healthy 24 year old then. two years into out relationships I developed an autoimmune disorder called inflammatory bowel disease. Since then I have developed an immune disorder on my skin and I have just been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which could turn out to be cancer. I am no longer healthy. My family and extended family are healthy.

My wife was diagnosed at 30 years old in 2010 with breast cancer and has a double mastectomy. Her sister dies of cystic fibrosis and her younger sister also has cystic fibrosis. In 2007 her younger sister had a lung transplant. The young man who donated his liver (her long time friend) had complications and lay on his death bed for months. he now is on medication for life has lost a leg. He was healthy before.

Diabetes runs in my wife's family. Almost all her siblings have it. Her mother just had thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed. My wife's father is 58 and has developed Parkinsons and is almost completely rigid from it.

My wife's brother's daughter was born with only one chamber in her heart and had to go through multiple operations to help her live.

My daughter has hearing issues and now because my wife is on the drug Tamoxifen we cannot have any more children until 2016 when my wife will be 36 and God knows what complications we could fall into with pregnancy.

It seems the family is riddled with ailments and diseases and misfortunes and anyone who comes into contact with the family ends up having ailments and diseases and misfortunes.

Is this family cursed and if so what can we do? I am at my wits end and in despair with this situation because the only future I see is more sickness for my family.
