Ron was just 18 months old when he contracted polio—before the vaccine existed. He spent nine months in an iron lung, breathing through a machine with only his head free.
"I'm a little miracle baby," he says. "God healed. Prayers work."
He survived with a club foot, a right shoulder that has never fully sat in its socket, and a weaker left leg. Years of surgeries and therapy followed, but he never let his diagnosis define him.
Instead, Ron built a healthy, active life. He walked 4–5 miles every day, took supplements like magnesium, turmeric, probiotics, and cactus juice, and felt great. He hadn't had blood work in more than 20 years because the last time he checked, everything looked "like a 20-year-old." No pain. No symptoms. No reason to worry.
Then everything changed.
One morning, his leg just felt... different. Two days later, he was diagnosed with an unprovoked blood clot. No long flight. No injury. No obvious explanation.
When asked about fatigue, pain, or sleep problems, he simply said, "I really don't have any of that." Then he added, "I guess if you don't feel like anything's broke, you don't fix it. But that's what surprised me with the blood clot."
That one sentence says it all.
The clot wasn't necessarily caused by something he did wrong. It was a reminder that our bodies can develop underlying issues long before symptoms appear.
Today, Ron isn't just treating the clot. He's undergoing comprehensive lab testing, a nervous system assessment, and a personalized plan designed to understand why it happened—not just manage the diagnosis.
Because real healing starts with asking better questions.
