It is always easier said than done, but when it comes to health I think we need to heed the early warning signals and stay in tune with our bodies as much as possible.  I loved my sister so very much and to have her life taken away at age 53 seemed premature to me.  I had tried to get her to go to a raw food cleansing place that I go to periodically in San Diego and Austin. I had gotten rid of a 14 inch tapeworm the first time I went to the Institute and brought along friends on my subsequent visits.  At the institute I witnessed healing through cleansing, relaxing and proper nutrition.   I am still getting over the grief of it all and it is 10 months later.  I figure if someone reads my story and it helps them in some way, I know that it is a good thing.  Although my sister has left this physical plane her spirit lives on.  I cherish her memories.
