CALLOUS ROAD: SURVIVING DEMENTIA - HEALING THROUGH THE POWER OF POSTURED SLEEP
Description
SURVIVING DEMENTIA - Healing Through the Power of Postured Sleep:
To reap the full entertainment of the book, it is suggested that the reader view the Saturday Night Live episode of “Theodoric of York: Medieval Barber†on Hulu or Youtube, before reading the book. That episode sets the stage for much of my story.
Sticking with Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia and driven by a last wish to play tennis, but hindered by back pain, the author reaches into his past for a solution. In so doing, he discovers a therapy that proves to have more healing power than any drug or medication the medical industry has to offer.
Calluses were common for a child growing up on a farm, but calluses can be unseen and burned deep into one's soul. Whether calluses were on the bottoms of our feet, on our hands, or in our soul, they were a constant reminder of the struggle to survive. The word "road" refers to life's many roads, but "Callous Road" refers that one very tough road of life I journeyed; one I wish I had never taken, but one that made all the difference.
This is an autobiography of one man’s journey of survival and discovery. A story of survival from the ravages of cancer and a discovery of healing through the power of postured sleep.
This story should leave one wondering: “What if….†What if this form of therapy controlled dementia? What if other neurological problems be helped? What if other non-neurological health problems benefited?
“Callous Road is an uplifting book about overcoming tremendous physical and mental challenges in middle age. At a time when most people are starting to relax a bit and enjoy some rest and recreation, Tony was crushed by a diagnosis of cancer, specifically chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Complications from this included memory loss and depression. Medical specialists, including neurologists and psychiatrists, launched him on the treadmill of endless referrals and tests with no discernable health improvement, yet harrowing financial liability…Through five diligent years of trial and error, he developed a physical and mental regimen, including participating in tennis and chess, as well as natural substance ingestion, that has led to a ‘celebrated recovery’… There are lessons for us in Tony's journey…â€
