The Road Not Taken

"The Road Not Taken" is one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost which talks
about the options we have in life and how we respond to it.  The poem ends
with " I have taken the road least traveled by and that has made all the difference."
No matter what challenges we face in our lives we need to consider all the options
we have even if they are not the traditional path but the way that we believe will
take us to a positive outcome.  This is true in all areas of our lives.  In working on
restoring my health and the ability to walk again, I've constantly looked for answers
from seven world wide medical systems no matter what contemporary western
medicine thought and that has made all the difference.

Importance of Point of View

I've come to realize that just because someone is bright doesn't mean they're right                                         that there are other factors that determine how they view something or make decisions.
How  open or close minded they are, how much they're willing to explore a subject,
how much they're stuck in dogma or thought patterns accepted from the past.
They're  numerous examples for instance, conventional  medicine  has a certain
protocol and point of view treating disease drawing from a narrow point of view
 to the knowledge that has been gathered over the centuries. The.same is true
of many other beliefs that we have.We, i believe, should keep our minds open
examining the information that we receive so we can  make wise decisions.

Whether You Think You Can or Can't Your Right

  Recently  I've learned that some people believe that my quest to heal my
condition and walk again was unrealistic. For those people it's true but
to me having done 3 long years of research into my condition I know
and believe that it can and will happen soon.  That's because I 've
learned that other people have done it as there's been advances in
medical research and new therapies developed. Don't let others
define you or tell you how to think take your own quest on the
road to find out and stick by your own beliefs . Remember as
Henry Ford said, " Whether You Think You Can or Think You
Can't You're, Right".

I Love You More Than Life Itself

Over 4 years ago, a heart attack took my beautiful wife Patty Claire from me.
Now that I'm starting to feel the impact of that event as it's starting to really hit me.
Patty was an amazing woman !  She was beautiful, talent singer, actress, poet,
and artist having performed with the Metropolitan Opera Company, studied
at Juilliard School and The Academy of Dramatic Arts. She was named 5
times Woman of the Year by the American and International Biographical
Institutes.  She listed in Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in America,
Who's Who in American Women among others. Presently I'm working with
her poetry getting ready to publish and promote it through poetry readings.
I, while she was still alive, wrote this verse:
  Oh,my darling Patty Claire
  you're the sweetest girl i know,
  like the stars up in the heavens that twinkle as they glow,
 I love you more than life itself
 no one can compare,
 You're everything I've ever want,
  my darling Patty Claire.
 As we walk out neath the moonlight
 glistening on your hair,
 soft and sweet you say to me just how much you care,
 I love you more than life itself ,
 no one can compare  ,
 You're everything I'll ever need,
 I love you,Patty Claire.

Believe You Can! Cause You Can!

Over the past few months, I've been following a path to heal my diabetes
and complications on the belief it was possible and it is!  I'm starting to
get my strength and energy back.  My blood sugars have become normal
and my kidney function is much improved. My belief is leading me on the road
to exploring a wide range of health information to get control of my health
and life to where I'll become healthy and whole again.  If you believe with
single minded purpose that you can accomplish something you can!
As Henry Ford once said," Whether you think you can or you think you
can't, you're right".

Forward!

Forward! Is a motto we use here in Wisconsin and it's become a battle cry for me.
In my quest to restore my health there's been ups and downs but always the
determination to reach my goal.  This past week, I found out that Medicare will
not pay for treatment with my new functional medicine doctor and so I decided
to work harder to earn the money that I need to see the doctor as well as start
a treatment program to heal my neuropathy by myself by working out a payment
plan with the company that sells the medical rebuilder system. Two sayings I'm
learning to live by are " I will find a way or make a way" and" Failures are stepping
stones for success". Make a goal and then set your course never stopping until
you reach your goal.

Mother Nature Is The Best Pharmacist

In my journey of health modalities to find the way to health myself from diabetes
and its complications, I've learned about different treatments and medical models.
In reviewing the major health systems of the world it's interesting that almost all
of them are using natural remedies to heal the body without in general any side
effects.  It demonstrates that Mother Nature Does Know Best as to the way to
manage our health and restore our health . An example of this is I just read an
article,in Natural News that diabetics with kidney problems can restore their
health by taking Vitamin B1 or its active form benfotiamine. Mother Nature
cares about our well being and not her bottom line.
