Hi there.

You are obviously a very very intelligent person. I got that from reading your posts.

Now here's MY question. Are you doing anything to lose weight? I'm not talking about going on a diet. I'm talking about lifestyle changes.

I had to do this. Took me YEARS. But I'm 61 and thankfully, doing this, probably saved my life.

I don't mean to come off as preachy. I'm not that way.

I wasn't ready all those years ago to lose the weight. I should have listened to others. I should have listened to my doctor when he told me "you need to lose weight, it's too much strain on your joints, on your heart, etc."

I thought they were all crazy. Guess what?? They were NOT crazy.

I tell you this because 300 lbs is too much to carry.

I made a great deal of changes in my life. I had no choice. Well, I DID have choice. I could keep eating the wrong stuff and ultimately die, or I could change my attitude towards food.

I did the latter.

Listen, going around with 300 lbs is no small thing. It's hard on the heart and other organs.

I say this with all the compassion I can muster.

If you make one small change, you can continue to make them, and one day, you will see that you weigh 200 and not 300.

You'll walk easier, you'll breathe easier, and you just might not be in so much pain.

Your body needs to be balanced.

And about the chiro-neurologist. His name is Dr. Scott Theirl. He has an office in NYC. and a website called functionalrestoration.com

Dr. Theirl also works with autistic kids. He does it all.

He literally saved my husband's life. When he went to him, he weighed 300 lbs, had severe neuropathy, and wore a Fentanyl pain patch. He was also stiff as a board and had never exercised.

That man made so many changes I can't begin to tell you. Alan saw him last week.

And a few months after beginning treatment with Dr. Theirl (and a change in dieting and exercise), my husband was able to get off the Fentanyl pain patch). No small accomplishment, let me tell you. My husband's neuropathy almost did him in.

He comes home a different person after one of those visits.

So look up chiro-neuros.

Ask questions. Not saying you should just jump in your car and go make an appointment. but ask questions.

You never know.
