Health and Wellness Thru Diet and Nutrition

Part One: A search for health and wellness through diet and nutrition to heal prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone.

"May Your Life Be Interesting". Wow, what an amazing statement. In some cultures it a curse. I see it as a blessing.

Have you ever heard the statement, "Take care of your health it is everything"? If you're like me, it was heard, but not really. Oh sure, I have been interested in, and even studied diet and nutrition for many years. I've been vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore. I've been overweight most of my life because of "not really". I cared, but not enough.

In September of 2009, I went to the hospital emergency room because my doctor wanted me to get some test I couldn't afford. I went in on September 26, 2009 thinking, "I'll just get the tests and be home tonight". I got out two weeks later with triple bypass open heart surgery.

Well, as you may have guessed, I was motivated to get healthy with my diet and nutrition. And I was, for a while. Things went okay for about a year. I began to feel more and more tired. Next, I began to have pain in the hip joints. It got so severe, I couldn't function. The only relief was to lie on my back in the easy chair. I was trying all kinds of supplements to relieve the pain, to no avail.

My doctor said to have some x-rays taken. I finally did. The reading indicated possible Padgett's Disease of the Bone. I began to have blood in the urine. That was a little scary and I call my doctor, a homeopathic physician and MD Dr. Tom Firor.

He sent me to a couple of specialists. The weekend after my first appointment with the nephrologist I couldn't urinate at all the whole weekend. That really scared me!

I call my nephrologist and he got me an appointment with the Urologist. You know; catheter insertion and the whole nine yards.

My nephrologist wasn't happy with some of my blood tests (specifically PSA) and decided to send me to a Hematologist. This doctor, Dr. Mark Collins, is also an Oncologist. He wanted to know why I was sent to him. I told him what had been going on and he immediately said, "I want to see your x-rays, wait here".

When he came back he said, "You don't have Padgett's Disease of the Bone. You have prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone and it's in curable".

Well, I don't believe cancer is incurable. Thankfully Dr. Firor doesn't either. When I told him of the diagnosis he said he would do some research and get back to me. He then sent me to Dr. Torok in Medina Ohio who is a former orthopedic surgeon how specializing in curing cancer with homeopathy. And Dr. Aukerman the head of the OSU Center for Integrative Medicine who specializes in ab alternative health and wellness program focusing on helping my body cure itself through Diet and Nutrition.

Four days after I started the homeopathic remedy I no longer need the narcotic pain patch Dr. Collins had prescribed. However, I still needed the Tramadol before I went to bed to get to sleep. I was so amazed; I called Dr. Leonard Torok and asked if it could work that quickly. He said if you get the right remedy it works very quickly. I said, "You really nailed it then"!

A few weeks after I started the homeopathy remedy I began Dr. Aukerman's diet and nutritional supplements he prescribed. Shortly after I started that program I began to sleep better.

So far, I no longer need the pain medication and my blood tests have gone from showing high inflammation to normal in the span of two months.

"May your Life be Interesting". It is. It is also a Great Blessing! I'm looking forward to see what unfolds.
