Stories of taking control of health issues and wellness.
I am 50 years old. My husband is 61 and was detected with Alzheimer’s at the age of 55. We have been married 30 years. I work full time for the VA. He is progressing quickly. My daughter was only 15 years old when he was diagnosed. She really has a hard time dealing with it, so much she just wants to stay away. It is really hard to watch someones mind go and there is nothing you can do…
I wanted to share my story as it will hopefully help those who struggle with addiction and or losing a parent. I started drinking when I was 16 years old although I always swore I wouldn’t end up drinking. Alcoholism runs in my family and I always wanted to stay away from it as I saw how many problems it caused my family and friends. I ended up trying it when I was 16 and immediately fell in love with…
I have been a fan for more than 20 years!!!! So here it goes…Back in July of this year, I had lost 30 lbs in 1 month, sleeping 16-18 hours at a time, very depressed, blurred vision, very hungry and memory loss, then I passed out eating an apple, went immediately to the hospital, blood drawn and was admitted into ICU for a week.

Sunday, June 6, 2004 I was awakened at 8am by a phone call from Sean. “Roxi, something is wrong with Mom. She has a very bad headache, is dizzy, and is vomiting. I could tell by the tone of his voice he was worried and did not know what he needed to do for you. I told Sean that based on what he was telling me I thought he should call 911 but that I would be there in 5…

I am sharing my story to raise awareness for brain aneurysms, silent killers that many do not know about and are misdiagnosed as sinus infections and migraines. In 2006 my headaches changed so I had a MRA. I was diagnosed with my first brain aneurysm and a few weeks later had brain surgery in order to clip it to help prevent a rupture. After a year of recovery I ws able to return to work. Fatigue and headaches were daily…
Dear Bret, I want to thank you for all you have done for my daughter Caitlyn and her organization (the Guardians of the Children). We did a meet and greet with you at the Emporium and of course even though it was her third meet and greet with you it was so amazing for her. I want to tell you her story and a little bit about what you mean to her. My daughter was the reason that we met…
After suffering from Type 2 Diabetes for almost 12 years I reversed my disease. I did what they said was impossible. I was told I would have to learn how to live with this disease for the rest of my life. For me that was not an option. That is when I started studying about diabetes, the cause and cures, which is what led to learning about the body and proper nutrition in disease reversal. Before I could be diabetes…
