Description
I’m a 66-year-old Bio-researcher and life-long bodybuilder. During the last year I have had 4 different facelift procedures done in Thailand, a massive heart attack while under sedation followed by 2.5 hours of CPR and a one-week coma. A month later my weakened heart went into congestive failure so severe that I could not walk 15 feet without being out of breath. Along the way I went through 3 basal cell carcinomas. I should have died many times over but having decided that there was no viable up side to that strategy I did my research and found cures for all of my afflictions. Only 5% of CPR recipients survive longer than 30 minutes. That must put me in the 1% group. Only 50% of extended coma victims survive. 40% of all congestive heart failure patients die within the first year. I currently walk a mile to the gym every other day, lift the same weights as prior to my CHF and then walk back to my apartment. Additionally I walk a couple of more miles each day to shop or visit friends. All of this is in Arequipa, Peru at an altitude of 7,500′ where there is 17% less oxygen per breath. I’m a serial survivor who should have died many times over and I have been trying to analyze and quantify the why of it ever since.
