Well, it's been a while since I have posted anything on this blog and for that I apologize. I have been very healthy for my entire life always working out heavily on weights, running 4+ miles daily on the beach and eating healthy and taking a host of helpful supplements. I have always felt healthy and generally did not fall victim to the newest cold making its rounds. I had an eye-opening experience that I wanted to tell you about and hopefully you will avoid a similar fate.

I lived on the beach in Daytona Beach, Florida and had been sitting on the sea wall when I decided to jump down and head inside. I suddenly felt a headache and thought I had thrown my back out even though I had never done that before. As I made it to the front door of my apartment I could tell the pain was getting rather severe. I laid down on the floor and left the door unlocked. Before I passed out I called 9-1-1.

It wasn't long until I was on my way to Halifax Medical Center. Once in the Emergency Room the doctor quickly assessed what was wrong with me and somehow realized I had a tear in my aorta. He called a thoracic surgeon who was on his way and told me to call my family because there was only a 10% chance I would survive long enough for the surgeon to get there and repair the hole in my aorta. He said I would bleed out before that probably.

I truly believed it was over for me but I was excited because I knew I would be in heaven in an hour or so and I would see God and Jesus. I was a little disappointed since I felt like I had so much more I wanted to do but I figured if I was dying it would be at the exact right time just as God had planned. 

The last thing I remember was two orderlies running down the hallway one on each side of the gurney. They made the turn into the elevator and I was out presumably from the morphine they had injected me with while I was in the emergency room.

I woke up 12 days later from a medically induced coma. They had problems with stabilizing my blood pressure. They had stopped my heart for 7 and a half hours for the surgery. I stayed in the Cardiac Intensive Care unit for almost 4 weeks and when I could finally stand up with a walker and make it out of my room, there were 12 to 15 people applauding as I made it to the doorway of my room. One of the nurses that took care of me in the intensive care unit said he had seen a lot of people come and go out of the intensive care but he said he never thought he would see me up and moving.

The biggest problem that persisted was my memory. I would figure out something and the next day had completely forgotten it. When I first emerged from the coma I could not remember the alphabet so I could not spell any words. I could read words but I could not write words. It was very strange.

Slowly over time I began recovering in other areas. My memory was helped by a number of memory restoring supplements. A friend gave me a bottle of Prevagen which I took and It seemed to help. I also took a number of bottles of Neuro-Mag. Neuro-mag is Magnesium-L-Threonate 

MIT found that memory loss was due to loss of connections between neurons in the brain. They found that they could increase the magnesium in the body but even a 300% increase in supplemental magnesium only produced a 19% increase in magnesium in the brain. Through extensive testing MIT eventually found that Magnesium-L-Threonate would increase the magnesium in the brain since it would cross the blood-brain barrier.

I still take this Neuro-Mag but I do notice slightly diminished effects when I run out of Neuro-Mag and don't take it for a month or so. Otherwise, it produces a noticeable increase in memory.

The New COPD Focus Group

In the coming weeks I will be starting the new COPD Focus Group. We will limit membership to those who are following the protocols set forth in the book,

"How I Reversed My Mom's Emphysema" and would like some guidance on following those protocols. The book is available both in paperback and electronic versions at: www.Emphysema-Treatments.com. 

This will not provide a forum for debating the validity of the protocols. I have watched them work and have been in direct contact with people of all ages including an 85 year old woman from Hawaii who have experienced the recovery it provided.

The group will meet on Rumble.com once a week and cover a specific topic necessary for a complete recovery.

It is my belief that COPD is caused by a mycobacteria that grows naturally on tobacco leaves. When you light a cigarette you inhale the mycobacterial spores into your lungs. These mycobacterial spores embed themselves into your warm, moist lung tissue where they slowly grow and proliferate over decades before causing any noticeable problems for the patient. The first sign of problems is generally "shortness of breath" followed by "barrel chest" and eventually "End Stage Emphysema."

Do not ever feel like you're starting too late. My mother was in End Stage Emphysema, weighed only 77 pounds and was on 4 liters of continuous supplemental oxygen when I started her on these protocols out of desperation. I was out of options. She was gasping for air quite often on 4 liters and the oxygen concentrator only went to 5 liters. 

The prescribed medications were relieving her symptoms for the day but then the next day the symptoms were back with no noticeable reduction in severity. 

The only thing that provided any lasting improvement in her condition was the restrictive diet that starves the mycobacteria by taking away its food supply, and the proteolytic enzymes which strips away the protective covering on mycobacteria, and the beta glucan which amplifies the immune response thereby killing the mycobacteria directly.
