Who is Dr. David Jeremiah?
Dr. David is a Christian non-fiction author and speaker who has won the hearts of many for speaking about the Bible and church’s teachings, interpreting ancient to modern religious texts, and accommodating them in his written works. Jeremiah is also the senior pastor of the fabled El Cajon Church Shadow Mountain Community.
David grew up in a religious home with a father who was also a preacher and three siblings who shared the same faith. He has lived a life dedicated to the study of theology and also earned a PhD in this field. As of 2024, Dr. David Jeremiah is 83 years old.
Jeremiah has spread his knowledge to devotees through the Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries. He is well-liked by Christian and even non-Christian followers for his gentle and charismatic personality and real-life depictions of resilience, faith, and hope, all of which his life stands as a testament to today.
What Happened To Dr. David Jeremiah’s Health?
Dr Jeremiah was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which is a potentially fatal cancer that can not only lead to death but also affect immediate quality of life as well as one’s mental capacity.
This first diagnosis came from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. His initial treatment was taken care of in California, after which he decided to go through with a stem cell transplant, something that was still considered somewhat experimental till in 1999.
The writer has elaborated on his life challenges in the book “When Your World Falls Apart”, emphasizing how water-blessing it is to overcome a life-threatening disease through a successful stem cell therapy and recovery process.
About Lymphoma – What Disease is it?
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a series of malignant cancerous growths that affect the lymphatic system. This includes your lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and larger organs like the spleen and liver. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that can spread quickly from one part of the body to another. Because the lymphatic system does not work, many larger organs like the lungs and the brain also start receiving damage.
Stem cell therapy focuses on the recovery of the bone marrow, which in turn strengthens the immune system. The body of a person with solid immunity has immune cells that can recognize and kill the ‘foreign’ cancerous cells, which are lymphoma cells. This can lead to long-term remission from this otherwise terminal disease, and patients can reach a state of complete recovery.
Why did Dr. Jeremiah Postpone His Plans?
Recently, sources pointed out that Dr. David, while attending a conference in the Caribbean, had experienced a fall injury. By this time, Jeremiah believed he was completely healed from the cancerous growths, but this injury made it clear that more surgery was necessary to maintain his health and well-being.
He planned to go on vacations and more conferences that summer, which he immediately cancelled when it became clear that his recovery was still incomplete. As far as we know, he will not be attending the “Singing in the Sun” event at Myrtle Beach. His followers have commented on him for putting his health first and are waiting to see him happy and hearty once again, spreading the word of God like he has made it his mission to do in life.
