Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I fear a great many more. Both are in their mid or even possibly early forties. She has smoked for decades, and recently had a stint put into one of her arteries. She has also had what appears to be pre-cancerous fluid drawn off of her lungs. It's actually kind of hard to tell how old she is because of how ravaged her body, hair, eyes and skin look, but because the couple has an 18-year-old son, I think they are in their forties. He has a large pot belly, and was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis, which the doctors say will have to be operated on because it is " too far gone. " They say he may already have a little peritonitis, or that he is very close to it. He has had a couple of severe bouts of terrible pain, vomiting, fever, chills and sweats. He also appears older than I believe he is. Aside from their physical misery, the wife has told me they can't pay all the medical bills, so are receiving dunning calls from lawyers and collection agencies. Two people who could have easily had another two or three decades of health, happiness and productivity, down for the count. It didn't have to be. It's criminal. It's crazy. It's a crying shame.

I am 44 years young and have never felt better in my life. I eat well,detox, exercise, meditate, take my supplements and sleep well. What a shame that more people do not realize that by taking these measures, they too could look and feel as good as I do in my mid 40's.
