When my mother was diagnosed with emphysema I took a leave of absence from the software industry to take care of her in her hast days.

I watched as she got worse on $1200+ of medications each month void of smoking which had caused thde emphysema.

My degree is in engineering and when something is taken out of the equation it is no longer a factor in the outcome so I questioned the doctors as to what could be causing my mother's deterioration. I knew it could not be smoking. She had not smoked in over 2 years at this point. The doctors told me they did not know, it was a mystery.

I had researched the disease but had not found anything that provided any hope of survival, not re4alizing at the time I had only found medical and pharmaceutical web sites. ey were right. With their drugs, there is no hope of surviving emphysema.

I began looking elsewhere beginning with pathology which I had taken some years earlier after engineering school. I remembered all pathogens had sugar as their food supply and it seemed as if something was growing or proliferating in my mother's lungs.

I took all sugar out of her diet and anything that would biochemically convert to sugar rapidly in the body. Amazingly, in only two weeks she was beginning to improve ever so slightly, the first improvement she had shown since her diagnosis.

By this time many of the drugs had stopped working and she refused to use them. I began researching all night every night vowing I would either solve this mystery or she would take her last breath.

ONce I saw her improvement from a diet change and realized the doctors did not even know to suggest this, I realized I was relying on the wrong group of people for answers or any sort of viable solution.

After 6500+ hours of research and a lot of prayer, I managed to locate information and develop a number of protocols that completely reversed my mother's emphysema.

She had deteriorated down to only 77 pounds and required 4 liters of supplemental oxygen 24/7. She could only sleep for an hour or two and only if I propped her up on 4 pillows. She was only able to eat very small meals or it would negatively affect her breathing.

Nearly 18 months after starting the diet and realizing I should look elsewhere for answers, my mother was back up to her original weight of 103 pounds, did not require any supplemental oxygen, could eat a full plate of food and could sleep the entire night without waking. She was functionally cured of emphysema.

I wrote a book detailing her struggles and eventual recovery from emphysema at the insistance of a friend who used my protocols to eliminate his need for asthma medications which he had taken since he was a small chile.

The book has sold worldwide for more than two years and I continue to get inundated with medical doctors who call my protocols quackery. These medical doctors have not had one single patient survive emphysema. Over 1100 people have survived emphysema as a result of the protocols I developed. I had prayed every night asking God to point me in the right direction and He did.

I am always searching for ways of getting my message to the 1000+ Americans dying every day from this disease along with the many thousands from around the world.
