People often ask me how I came to found Pure Prescriptions. I have not often answered that question, because my road has been a deeply personal one, and one that I have been reluctant to share. But I have recently come to think particularly in these days of cynicism and suspicion that it is important that people know why Pure Prescriptions exists, and something about those of us who believe in it. One month after I graduated from LA College of Chiropractic in December of 1998, I found a lump in my neck that was diagnosed as Hodgkins Lymphoma. By February I was undergoing surgery, followed by chemotherapy. The next eight months were difficult. I lost my hair. I got very weak. My immune system was so compromised that I contracted pneumonia, and I remember being in a hospital bed writing my will and deciding whether to sign a DNR. My family came from across California and the country and said their goodbyes to me, and I to them. But I fought, and I survived.People often ask me how I came to found Pure Prescriptions.
