    He is flying free!

    My darling husband, Steve, peacefully passed away on August 26th. He was surrounded by our seven grandchildren, our son and his wife, and myself. It was such a peaceful passing! I cried my eyes out no only because he was gone, but also because he was flying free - no more pain, or air hunger...

    Are legs always affected?

    PK Protocol?

    Hi Everyone- My husband was diagnosed just a few weeks ago, after several months of tests & etc. So, now we're getting the "have you tried this or that" from well meaning friends and family. One that actually piqued our interest, was PK Protocol, which is also used to treat Lyme disease and MS...
