“Thank you.”  That’s what the nurse said to me yesterday when I was visiting a friend in the hospital.  I asked what she was thanking me for.  She said that she watches Know the Cause every day and that since she started doing the Phase One Diet, the numbness in her feet has gone away.

 

“Thank you.”  Doug was doing a seminar in Oklahoma City last weekend.  A woman approached me and said that she’s wearing her shirt tucked into her jeans for the first time since high school.  She wanted to thank Doug for telling us over and over again to C-H-A-N-G-E because since doing so, she lost the weight she’s been carrying for decades.

Last week, my 87-year old dad had to be taken to the emergency room.  The details of his story are important for a future article about “seasoned citizens’” health, but I’ll postpone those details for then.  Dad ended up staying a full week, and I was with him the entire time.  It looked extremely serious, and I didn’t want to be away from him.  I left the hospital wearing the same clothes I wore when we came in.

Every now and then, I get an interesting health question from people who are new to the world of health and nutrition.

We met, laid out a plan, and three months later, his doctor officially deemed this man, “Cured.”

My personal Thank You, you who are in the military – and their families – who are sacrificing so much to keep us free. We honor you and thank you for everything you do for us. America is in debt to you. –K.D.

Happy Independence Month, folks!

I marvel at our military. Without question, the military has always been the most effective part of our government, and it comes down to the commitment of the men and women who are serving.

A cousin of ours just started boot camp in the Marine Corps last month. We’re proud of him and enjoy reading his letters and hearing about how his body and his mind are changing through the process of becoming a soldier.
