Keith was diagnosed in 1993 with RSD after he broke his back in a car accident. The odd thing was, they discovered he had actually had RSD since 1974 when he contracted an eye disease called Uveitis that took away most of the vision from his left eye. But that wasn't the only discovery they made, Keith had many accidents that never got the proper diagnosis of RSD. Today, Keith runs a website called: American RSD Hope along with the help of his family. Keith is committed to help make everyone know more about RSD/CRPS and with the help of places like RSDSA and other local groups a dent is done, but there is such a long way to go yet. I am incredibly honored that Keith is today's guest on our show so we can help get his personal story out to our many listeners.

Bader Field began as a homage to Carl's father, Samuel David, the legendary art dealer in Philadelphia, who died suddenly & unexpectedly at the age of 58 while on a buying trip in England. This book started so that Carl's children, not yet born, would know the extraordinary greatness of their grandfather whom they would never otherwise know. But, as the year's passed and the book evolved, its true perspective emerged.   After more than 25 years of Carl's personal struggle and torment, Bader Field would reveal the story of how his own American family lived through and fought to survive his brother's shocking death by suicide. In an instant, this one act shattered Carl's young life when he was just 16 and nearly destroyed his family. As a young man and as a brother, Carl battled through his own personal wasteland with one vision, but later, upon becoming a husband and father, he could only imagine the pain his parents had suffered.   Carl said: "I needed to reach out to those who are on the brink of killing themselves to show them there is always a better way. There is love, hope and help available. I want them to see how such a violent act not only ends the life of the victim,but also forever scars the lives of their families & friends. My mission is to bring to those who contemplate suicide an awareness about what a horrific tragedy it produces & to offer solace to all who have lost loved ones this way by showing how my family came to terms with my brother's taking his life. This is my way of 'paying it forward'.   This book will resonate with teens and young adults who may may not realize the devastation of suicide & the permanent horror it inflicts on the family they leave behind.   Learn More:  Carl David

Katie was diagnoses with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 4 years old, causing her to spend her childhood in chronic pain. It was frustrating for her, but it made her push herself to accomplish things that were pain-free for her and easy for her friends. Although it didn't stop her from growing up as a dancer, until 2004 when she was 24 years old.  She was then diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis.  She soon lost the ability to look up and the majority of the range of motion necessary to turn side to side. Losing the ability to tie her own shoe laces without a great deal of pain caused her to vow she was going to find a way to slow the progression of those debilitating diseases.   Through her research of holistic and alternative medicines she discovered how certain herbs and spices, since ancient times, had been used medicinally to cure disease and other ailments. She learned to cook using herbs and spices, adding interesting and exotic flavors to dishes without adding fat and calories. She soon realized her body was in even less pain than when she just avoided certain ingredients.   Her recipe book: "Feeding Our Families" teaches how foods are seasonal for a reason. She explored other cultures and cuisines to learn why different parts of the world eat the way they do.
