Episode 80
“I'd always wanted to write books, and as we were living and working as property managers in Los Angeles, I got deathly ill.
In retrospect it was an emotional reaction to the feeling like everybody else was living their life and I wasn't. I was stuck in this place where we were doing property management. You're living there and you're working there, and it turned out to be terrible for my marriage. My husband was kind of emotionally checked out and I was kind of freaking out and I got really sick.
Western medicine didn't know what to do with me because they didn't have a cure and they wanted to put me in the hospital and feed me intravenously 'cause I'd lost 30 pounds in a month.
Everything was toxic in my body, and I couldn't food down.
So, my husband said, “I'm not letting you die,” and he got online, and he found this doctor and she described what I was going through to a T and it's called environmental illness.
Basically, everything was toxic. I had become chemically overloaded, and it was just too much and my system collapsed. So, I wanted to work with her, but she wasn't seeing patients anymore and she'd written a book and that book saved my life.
So, that was first of all pretty powerful, and as I said, I always wanted to write a book anyway, and I thought, OK, well, crap, you know, you think, “Well, I'm going to write a book someday.”
I was only 48 and all of a sudden [I asked], “How long do I have?”
Because that was really close to the edge there for a while, and so [I thought], OK, well, I'm going to write a book.”
