Patient “X” was living high when he got ill. A course creator and director for an enterprise delivering transformational experiences, X thrived on his 100-hour work weeks. From the U.S. to lndia to Australia to Germany, he made his living making a difference with people, and he loved it.
X was extremely productive by society’s standards but it mattered not one day in 1990 when he was exposed to an ungodly amount of toxins and suddenly went from a force of nature to a twitchy, hypersensitive wreck.
“X” remembers the exact day he became ill.. On a scale of 1-10, with ten being perfectly healthy, X went from a 10 to 1-3 with remarkable speed. He was sick, often terribly sick, for the next 26 years.
