A “Reach Out” from the Blogosphere - and the Power of Persistent Search
As I hit “publish” this morning on my very personal post about my parents, I worried a little that the few readers who expect to hear about marketing and technology and such would be (once again) rolling their eyes/ignoring their feeds from miss JLJ.
But about an hour later, my sheepishness went completely away when I received an email from an angel who was paying attention:
“Hello Janet Lee Johnson,
I am Linda Sue Johnson! I found your blog through a Google news alert for macular degeneration. I am sorry to hear about your parent’s health problems.
My mother had dementia. I found one thing that helped. Omega oils. If you go to Sam’s Club of CostCo, you can buy a month’s supply of LiquiMax for about $12.00. It contains many good nutrients including Omegas 3, 6, and 9. It takes like citrus and I like to put it in orange juice and/or 7Up. My mother had become very paranoid. We started giving her LiquiMax and within a week she turned into a happy five foot two year old.
As for the macular degeneration that my sister also has, in about 5-10 years there are two treatments that should be available. Stem cell treatment (from the patient’s own body) and Muller Glial Cell treatment.
In the meantime, please take good care of yourself. I have not had the chance to read your blog but I do know that watching parents age in poor health is very stressful.
Take care
Linda Sue Johnson”
Linda was kind enough to let me publish her email in entirety, as she said:
“Please feel free to use any information I give you to spread some good.”
Consider it spread, Linda, at least in my heart. Thank you for that.
It showcases two things to me:
- the passion of people to help others
- the power of persistent search
Put them to good use in your own lives - you never know what might turn out as a result!
