Elizabeth Woods had severe food and environmental allergies. After 10 years of dealing with allergies, she was healed.
Her Story
Elizabeth Woods had had enough of her body being covered in hives and the associated itching. She then underwent a wide range of allergy testing in 2007. And she wasn’t expecting what they discovered.
“The first thing that came out of his mouth was, ‘You belonged on another planet.’ He had like four pages of allergies that includes everything. Primarily around me– the outside, the indoors, dust, animals,” she recalled.
Elizabeth was even more alarmed by the extensive list of dietary allergies. While she could modify her diet, it presented a different scenario compared to other tasks. Grocery shopping would take at least two hours because she needed to read all the labels. This became a very strenuous task and it started to become depressing for her.
10 Years Of Dealing With Allergies
Elizabeth had to start keeping an EpiPen and Benadryl on hand in case of emergencies. Avoiding trigger foods like dairy, soy, or nuts while dining out has also become a difficult task.
“I really have to study the menu and I would have to talk to the waitress. Sometimes, I would call beforehand and ask for the ingredients of this and ingredients of that,” she said.
For 10 years, she prayed for healing.

When she read the verse John 10:10, that’s when Elizabeth desired to experience the abundant life God promised.
“I was praying, ‘God, I want that life more abundantly. I want to be able to eat something and not to be worried. And I want to be able to be like everybody else,” Elizabeth recalled.
10 Years Of Dealing With Allergies, Healed After A Prayer
She was always watching the shows of The 700 Club. She said it encouraged and inspired her to pray more.
One night, one of the hosts prayed for healing from allergies: “Someone else has severe food allergies and it just keeps getting worse and worse. You can hardly eat anything. God’s healing that for you right now. Your whole system is being put in order and you’re going to be able to enjoy foods you haven’t eaten for years.”
Elizabeth claimed that prayer, and she put the results to the test. She went out and bought some ice cream bars with nuts, since dairy and peanuts were two major trigger foods.
“I ate it slowly and there was no reaction. None whatsoever. I started thanking God. And I called on my friends… I was just so happy and so excited,” she said. “I’m just really encouraged because I know He took care of my food and He got everything else under control too.”
