MY
STORY
by Dick Quinn
"The individual has the right ofh is own wisdom to choose
methods for his well being and longevity. This right is not
to be taken from us."
- Arthur L. Kraslow, M.D.
My Credentials
I am an expert on heart disease because I have it. I
have had a heart attack with a near death experience,
an angiogram, a double coronary bypass, heart failure
and an incredible recovery. An herb I discovered has
kept me alive and given me excellent health, vigor
and energy since October 21, 1978.
There is no question what was wrong with me. I
had severely blocked arteries which the doctors said
required surgery. I can show you the scars. After
surgery, my energy, vitality and general health declined
rapidly. My condition deterioriated for six months. I
fainted often, experienced dizziness and sudden loss
of energy. Finally, I had a long, frightening blind spell
one afternoon. In spite of the cardiologist's continued
reassurances, I knew I was dying. Then I discovered
the herb that made me well.
Today, I am very much alive. I don't need heart or
blood pressure drugs, so I'm not impotent or consti
pated and don't have kidney or liver failure. I'm not
depressed. I am energetic, ambitious and enthusiastic.
I feel good every day.
The herb I discovered works so well for me, I
want you to know about it. I discovered other herbs
you should know about, too. Maybe they will work
for you, as they have for me.
