Parkinsons and heart disease are a lot like the terrorists who attacked our nation on 911. When they flew those planes into the world trade center buildings was not when the war started, it's just when we realized that we were at war. This was when we woke up, developed a battle plan and started to fight back.
The day I was diagnosed by my Neurologist with Parkinsons was not when the war started. The disease had been working against me for at least a year or more already. This past March I had a heart attack and went through quadruple bypass surgery but the day of the initial heart attack was not when it all started.
Many of us spend years ignoring the telltale signs that we are at war already. We want to pretend that we are safe and everything is alright until it's not and the building is coming down around us. If you have grown up eating the standard American diet then you are already involved in a war whether you realize it or not.
Perhaps it's time for all of us to wake up, develop a plan, and start to fight back.
