I'm dedicating this post to my friend and "big brother" Anthony W. I've known him all of my life. Not always had the best of times with him, but our good days have definitely outweighed the bad days. He has stuggled with a bipolar disease (manic depression) for most of my adult life as well. After a recent bout with depression which looked something like 9+ months of being hold up in his home with basically no care, he had a heart attack but was able to call 911. He has been in the hospital for 2 months now and lost over 60lbs. He just found out less than 2 weeks ago that he has prostate cancer and it has spread to his hips and thighs. Fortunately for Anthony, he was just released and has moved to Tallahassee to spend time with his daughter and grandchildren. I love Anthony and will always consider him as my big brother. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he has kidney failure and has to do dialysis 2-3x a week. His spirits are remarkably high. But my question is... how did this happen? Not even why at this point... His diet now has to drastically change. Well, let's take a look at his diet. Heavy laden fats, organ meats, sodas galore... A heaviness just fell upon me to take a look at how I can keep my loved ones from falling sick to these ugly diseases. I just registered to start school at http://www.integrativenutrition.com/ and will start next month. I am so excited. I truly believe that the longevity of life lies in large part to what we put in our mouths. This story is not over. We are praying for Anthony but we need to do our part. Faith without works is dead...
Live Well...
