Sep 2013

The doc came out crying and told me about my heart. I still had kids to feed. It hurt me a lot to see her that way. It hurt more knowing my kids might be out there alone and still had school to go.

Since there was nothing I could do medically, I decided to add a few bizarre but natural items to my daily food. One was a chemcial long since bleached away by our agro-businesses. The other composed of plants helped make enormous dinosaurs.

Six years later I am still kicking!

And the doc was right! It wasn't humanly possible.

Best wishes for you both in these difficult times.
