My health

Oldman · May 05, 2011, 06:23:23 AM

During the past two years I've seemed to gas-out a lot. I've been very ill for at least two months. One doctor said I had a stroke in my sleep. Another said I did not but had some type of seizure. I went to bed feeling ok one night and the next morning I could not make my body move. As one doctor said there are things about the brain that we just don't understand. It has taken me two months to be able to hold a thought. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. I still have problems spelling. It was so bad that not only could I not spell "the" I could not carry on a conversation with my wife. One Saturday I had to get out a program for a company. It was a simple one that should not have taken me more than 2 hours tops. Instead it took me the entire day as I just could not form my thought line.

Every test known has been run on me and I'm told the results are that of a 50 year old man and not one of 61 years old man.

I will tell you this that this has been a life changing experience for me. You just never know.

Our prayers are with you and your family at this time. The one good thing about the brain is it's ability to heal itself. The new brain sciences are making leaps and bounds in this field. We work with some of the best Neuro Scientists in the world. Check out the book The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doige. Take care Raye we are all pulling for you.

Hope ya get back to 100% Olds...

Until they figure it out, you might try to get all the nutrients you can every day...
Sometimes "miracle foods" are better than "miracle drugs"
Could be just one little thing that fights the problem.
Lots of info here... http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php
