A quick update (and July 4th wish)

Dearest Elaine,

I am still in remission from my GD since Sept. 2009, and doing better than ever on my raw vegetarian diet too. I could not let the July 4th holiday pass without thinking of you and thanking you again, 1000 thank yous, you saved my life as far as I'm concerned, kept me from a life of permanent HypoHell and all the complications that go with it by educating us about the TRUTH about RAI therapy, so armed with knowledge from you I was able to refuse it when it was offered.

I have been telling all my friends and co-workers about how you helped me so much in my battle, right up until I achieved remission. One of my co-workers said you are helping her now so much too (she is slightly HypoT naturally, and you are helping her understand her labs as you educated us all, so now she too is much more armed with knowledge and assured when she visits her doctor and she MAKES him listen.) Elaine, once again, I don't know what we would do without you.

I have been eating a mostly raw vegetarian diet, enjoying all the fruits and veggies in season now (and organic), and I love drinking my morning Green Smoothies for breakfst. I have been saving to buy a Greenstar Twin Gear Masticating Juicer machine (best in the world, a few hundred dollars but well worth it), so that I can also enjoy fresh juices too and not just smoothies, I would like to make home-made V-8 juice, as well as wonderful fresh fruit juice blends.

Thank you again Elaine Moore, you are a blessing to us all, I will keep in touch from time to time, (and my 1 yr anniversary of remission is coming up in a few months too.) G-d bless .. JES

Hi JES,

Thanks so much for your update and kind words. I'm happy to help and I appreciate your updates. It's inspiring for others as well.

Sorry for the delay here on the board. My twin bro and his family are our visiting from Ohio and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day between exploring gold mines, casino towns, trout fishing, rafting and playing pinochle. I hope to get caught up here soon. Have a wonderful 4th and thanks again, Elaine
