A Daughter’s Mission to Help Her Mother Thrive in Her Nineties
In California, Pamela Smith watches her 92-year-old mother Paula compete in balloon volleyball tournaments at her senior living community, walk a mile around the block daily, and play cards every evening with friends. It’s a scene that seemed impossible just a year ago when Paula was diagnosed with congestive heart failure after a lifetime of heart conditions. This is the remarkable story of how one daughter’s discovery of Holy Hydrogen transformed not just her mother’s heart health, but her entire outlook on life in her enth decade.
Pamela, who has always been interested in holistic health alternatives, lives close to her mother and describes their relationship as “closer than ever” since her father passed in 2020. “I find I’m inspired through what I hear from the Lord, and He leads me to great alternatives and healing modalities for different things,” Pamela shares. As the only sibling living nearby, she became her mother’s primary advocate, a role that would lead to discovering a solution neither of them expected.
A Lifetime of Heart Challenges
Paula’s medical history reads like a cardiac textbook. “I honestly was disheartened and astonished at just how many heart diagnoses had been given to her,” Pamela recalls after reviewing her mother’s records. The list began with essential hypertension in 2005, though Paula had been on high blood pressure medication for decades before that official diagnosis.
The challenges mounted over the years: atherosclerosis of the aorta in 2012, then a stroke in March 2015 that brought her to the ICU. The nurse in the critical care unit called her recovery “a miracle” after timely intervention saved her from lasting damage. But shortly after release, Paula suffered a small heart attack and returned to the ICU, where she was diagnosed with permanent atrial fibrillation and a history of myocardial infarction.
“My mom is my superhero and as strong as steel,” Pamela explains. Even while in the ICU the second time, Paula was dictating dinner social event tasks to Pamela’s father, determined to fulfill her responsibilities to their Sun City neighborhood. The years that followed brought more diagnoses: coronary artery disease, acute chronic diastolic heart failure, a lumbar vertebral fracture from a fall, pneumonia, acute hypoxemia, respiratory failure, and edema. In October 2023, Paula’s cardiologist delivered frightening news – she had a tear in her aorta and was in critical condition. Then in February 2024 came the congestive heart failure diagnosis.
An Unexpected Discovery Through Divine Guidance
Pamela’s path to Holy Hydrogen began with her own health challenge. “I had had an open wound that was very horrific and painful from using chemo cream on my arm and it literally burned the skin off,” she explains. While searching for solutions, she discovered Craig the Hydrogen Man through a podcast interview on His Glory Ministries with Pastor Dave Scarlett.
“I was super impressed,” Pamela remembers. “I started researching more through his YouTube channel. And so I got more and more excited the more I learned.” Though initially hesitant about the investment, she felt a divine prompting: “I felt prompted by the Lord that I was supposed to start using it and it would help my arm.”
Pamela purchased the Lourdes Hydrofix Premium Edition in December 2023 and began using it on January 1, 2024. Her own results were immediate and dramatic: “The pain went away the first day as I drank it and started pouring it over the burn on my arm. And then within a week it was closed up.”
What convinced her about Holy Hydrogen’s credibility? “I have some nutritional background. I’ve worked for certain nutritional companies, and I’ve learned a lot from scientists and research, so I respected Craig’s passion and his attention for detail through the research,” she explains. “I was impressed by the fact that the Japanese were using this same hydrogen machine in their hospitals and clinics and even ambulances.”
A New Chapter Begins at 92
In March 2024, two months after her own healing experience, Pamela approached her mother with a proposal. She shared Craig’s testimony about hydrogen water healing his heart and explained how doctors in Japan were treating stroke and heart attack patients with the same technology.
“I proposed to my mom if she would drink the holy hydrogen water every day, it would keep her out of the hospital and prayerfully heal her heart,” Pamela recalls. Knowing her mother’s strong aversion to hospitals, this was compelling motivation. “Thankfully, she said yes, at which point I committed to taking her a holy hydrogen bag of water every night.”
Paula began drinking one liter of hydrogen water daily – a significant commitment for someone who “wasn’t a big water drinker.” They also began pouring hydrogen water over Paula’s painful open wounds from the water retention in her legs caused by her heart failure. “When she started noticing a difference in these wounds healing faster and closing up, I think that gave her hope that something good was on the horizon,” Pamela observes.
The daily routine became a bonding experience. “Are you coming to bring my water tonight?” became Paula’s regular evening question. For a woman from “the generation that only listened to their doctors,” trying something outside conventional medicine was, as Pamela puts it, “out of the box for her. I am so proud of her.”
From Critical to Normal: The Transformation
The results of Paula’s February 2025 echocardiogram – taken on her 92nd birthday – left both her doctors and family stunned. “Every part of her heart was healed and became normal,” Pamela emphasizes. “Both her cardiologist and her family physician congratulating her for the significant improvement in her heart, which is currently normal. I have to pinch myself and thank God every time I think about that.”
The transformation went beyond just test results. Paula’s doctors took her off the high blood pressure medication she had been taking for decades – something “never even considered” before. Her diuretic medication was also discontinued because it was stressing her kidneys, which had been diagnosed with moderate chronic kidney disease in 2022 and acute with chronic renal failure in 2023.
Her blood work revealed more good news: the hyperlipidemia diagnosed in 2016 and the type 2 diabetes with hyperlipidemia from 2023 both showed normal levels. Her ophthalmologist, who had been monitoring her eyes due to the diabetes, found them healthy with no retinopathy.
“Generally, how many 92-year-olds have improvement in their heart that extreme? I haven’t heard of any. Have you?” Pamela asks with amazement.
Nine months into using hydrogen water, they discovered another benefit when squamous cell carcinoma appeared on Paula’s legs. After pouring hydrogen water over the lesions, they began shrinking visibly. Her dermatologist was “really impressed” by how much they had reduced before removal.
Today, Paula continues to thrive in ways that defy her age. She attends exercise classes twice daily, plays competitive card games every evening, and is known as one of the better balloon volleyball players in her community. “They say she looks like a movie star and she does,” Pamela shares proudly. Most remarkably, she remains in independent living – one of the few residents who can manage on their own.
Your Journey to Renewed Health Awaits
When asked what advice she would give to others facing similar health challenges, Pamela’s response is immediate and clear: “Don’t hesitate. Go for it. This is the best investment you can make for the rest of your life.”
What has hydrogen water truly given this 92-year-old woman? “Peace,” Pamela reflects. “I believe she has more peace about her future health and not having to worry about having to go to the hospital again because I’m sure she dreaded that before and so did we. So peace, I just say peace in her life. She’s sleeping well too, so that’s important.”
Paula’s transformation from managing multiple chronic heart conditions to enjoying vibrant health at 92 demonstrates the profound potential of molecular hydrogen therapy. Through Holy Hydrogen’s Lourdes Hydrofix Premium Edition, with its medical-grade purity and Japanese engineering excellence, families like Pamela and Paula’s are discovering that age doesn’t have to dictate decline.
If you or a loved one are navigating chronic health challenges, especially heart-related conditions, Paula’s story offers hope that transformation is possible at any age. The combination of Holy Hydrogen’s certified pure hydrogen therapy and the loving support of family created a path to renewed health that seemed impossible just one year ago.
As Pamela concludes, “I can’t imagine if we didn’t have it in our lives because I’ve seen significant changes in my health, my husband’s and my mom’s.” Perhaps your own transformation story is waiting to begin.
