The Life Before Him
This podcast episode marks the first for me. My name is Robert, and I was a former sufferer of Ulcerative Colitis. In 'The Life Before Him' I introduce myself, my background, giving an overview of my life before I became seriously ill. Being an introductory episode, I hint at episodes to come, where I further detail how I managed to overcome such a difficult illness. This overcoming was difficult, but I have manged to live a life without using prescription drugs, using only the power of the mind and spirit to guide me. Also disclaimer: the contents of my podcast are not that of a medical professional. This podcast episode and subsequent ones concern my personal experiences and philosophies. For those that need medical help, they are best to seek out professionals.
“Exceptional patients refuse to be victims. They educate themselves and become specialists in their own care. They question the doctor because they want to understand their treatment and participate in it. They demand dignity, personhood, and control, no matter what the course of the disease.”
