| Natural Skin Care Secrets - Day 4 Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me"
I get asked all the time how I became "Mr. Natural Skin Care" on the web. What drives me to spend so many thousands of hours researching toxins and exposing fake "natural" skin care product makers? Well, as you are about to discover the answer is simple. Because of a life threatening illness I had 5 years ago I got a massive wake up call that dramatically impacted my life. This painful experience practically forced me to take direct action by clearing out the toxins in my system. Fast forward to today...I haven't been sick for over 2 years because my immune system is stronger than Fort Knox! My story goes like this... ...As I lay in my hospital bed in a pool of sweat with my head feeling like it was getting crunched by a jackhammer every two seconds I remember thinking to myself, "Man, if you make it out of this you are going to have to make some big changes in your life." The day was Saturday the 11th of March 2000. For the last 7 days I had been struck down with a "mystery illness" and no doctor could tell me why or what was causing this excruciating pain throughout every cell of my body. After visiting my third doctor in seven days he had only one piece of advice for me, "Get to the nearest hospital...NOW!" The closest hospital was 20 minutes away, I made it there in 7 breaking the Australian land speed record in the process. Straight away the doctors put me in for a brain scan. As I waited for the results the doctors told me it was one of three things: viral meningitis; bacterial meningitis or a brain hemorrhage. They told me I should hope for the first one as the last two can be fatal. So now I was praying to God for viral meningitis! For what seemed like an eternity the doctor came back in to deliver the news. He paused for a moment and said, "Do you want the good news or the bad?" I said "Give me the good first." He continued, "We think you have viral meningitis, but we have to do one more test to make sure." He then pulled out a needle longer than a samurai sword and plunged it directly into my spinal cord to drain all the spinal fluid from my brain. The meaning of pain had just been redefined...again. He came back 10 minutes later and said, "Yes, you have viral meningitis, now go home and get some rest." Music to my ears, however as I left the hospital I vowed to myself to take my health more seriously, purge my system of toxins and kick the habits which put me there in the first place. I now firmly believe that this event was the best thing that could have happened to me. The reason why is because this started me on the natural non-toxic path. So, what have I done since that fateful day? Well, the first thing I did was get into shape. I actually competed in the "Body for Life" physique transformation contest placing in the Top 2000 finalists - out of 500,000 entrants. The second thing I did was eliminate all the toxins in my life that I could control. That goes for all personal care products and household (toxic) products.
