When I worked as a consultant in the hospital, I would always encourage my patients to advocate for themselves.

Often patients would apologize for “bothering” me with a new symptom or complaint but I would rather hear a complaint and decide whether or not it was serious than not have the patient tell me about the problem until it was advanced.

I’d like to introduce to someone who has taken the art of advocating for himself, and listening to his body, to a whole level: Alan Geller.

Alan Geller developed neurological problems that were progressing fairly rapidly a few years ago. He was given a diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis) and told that he would be in a wheelchair within a year. He took charge of his health and was able to reverse pretty much all of his problems. He tells his story in Scary Diagnosis.

Alan has written an article for this month’s Silver and Gold magazine about how you can take charge of your own health. Here is a link to the magazine. The article starts on page 34.

This is Catherine’s speech from the Reveal Party. I apologise in advance for the video quality but you can hear what she has to say perfectly well.

The Reveal Party was hosted by Kaareli’s Restaurant and Wine Bar. The owner, Anna, laid on a very tasty spread of appetizers, including a bruschetta that disappeared quickly, hummous, shrimps, smoked salmon on toast with capers and several other delicacies.

Some friends of ours are arranging a wine-tasting evening at Kaareli’s and found the prices very reasonable.

All of the attendees at the Reveal Party agreed that they would come back for lunch or dinner because we all enjoyed Kaareli’s so much.

Many thanks to Anna for hosting the 10 Years Younger … in Burlington! Reveal Party.
