Thanks for checking back in with the Channel. This is GIANTS AMONGST US, where we share in that unique Human experience. Today, I wanted to share a conversation that I had with a musician, Nate. Who at an early age was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. With there being no real treatment or medication for his condition, he was prescribed pain killers at one point, and found himself heavily addicted for 13 years. Nate talks about the point where he finally decided to kick the habit (cold turkey), and his growing discouragement with Western medicine.
In 2016, Nate was diagnosed with lung cancer - "the middle & bottom lobes of my right lung removed during a 9 hour surgery. Luckily the surgeons got all of the cancer out and I didn’t need chemo or radiation." Despite his condition, he's still ROCKIN', he's still ROLLIN' and he's without a doubt one of the GIANTS AMONGST US.
From acupuncture sessions, to hot spring waters, floating tanks, and an investment in his own sauna. Plus, the loving support of his wife and kids. Nate is still enjoying life, and doing what he loves, and that's create MUSIC.
'Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!
