Life-Changing Health Story: My Amazing Stroke Recovery!
To put it mildly, my health history was not good. In fact, it was so bad, that I was going into the hospital every year for one health problem after another. When my bills reached $180,000 in 2005, I felt I had no alternative but to file bankruptcy.
One late Sept. afternoon in 2006, my body started taking on some unusual symptoms, causing me to be unable to report for work. At midnight I woke up unable to move my body to make it to the bathroom. My wife’s called 911 and I was rushed to the Med where I was diagnosed as having had a stroke. I thought it was a joke.
After one week in the hospital I began to realize I was in my worst nightmare yet. The doctors and nurses tried their best, but my condition did not improve. After 3 long months I was sent home, without any health insurance. I thought this was the end of me. At this lowest point of my life God showed me great mercy by sending a friend, who was an RN, Len Lossing. She brought some GNLD products for me to drink daily. After several weeks, she ordered the products in my name, enabling me to buy them from the company at wholesale prices.
After 90 days, my progress was sufficient to use a walker to make it to the bathroom. Four months later I was able to sit and stand without support, only using the walker when walking. Six months later, my progress enabled me to drive again, With consistent use of the products, my health condition steadily improved, so that after one year after starting on the GNLD products, I was able to exchange the walker for a cane. A year later, I could walk without support altogether.
Today, 2 years and 5 months after the stroke, the stroke is a thing of the past. I can walk straight and although I’m not quite as strong as before, I can now lift 50 lbs. I praise God for what He has done for me through GNLD products and for my friend, Len Lossing who made it possible for me to get my life back again.

I am an autistic adult. I was born with classic autism (head banging type child) because of this I know about families wrapping themselves around a disability. Stroke, like autism is a family affair. I am also a bit of a savant, my gift understanding the human body.
4 years ago, a doctor asked me if I would apply my skills to a patient of his, Dick Clark who was reaching the six month point in his recovery. You can read the rest of the story from the cover story Stroke Connection Magazine. I work everyday with stroke survivors. My disability is my gift and my compassion comes from my own dealing with the rest of the world around the disabled individual.
Here is a youtube video of what I do.
