An Update Regarding Willy's Amazing Recovery (June 2009)

Dear friends:

My son Willy's original recovery story was widely posted to the Internet in June

2006. A little over a year later, in August 2007, I widely posted Willy's Three

Year ADHD/Bipolar Recovery Story to the Internet as well.

It has been almost two years since Willy's Three Year ADHD/Bipolar Recovery

Story was posted to the Internet. Quite a few significant events have occurred

since then.

My goal in this blog is to delineate the above-mentioned events, as Willy

continues to progress, and these events represent anecdotal proof of such. These

events also represent anecdotal proof in regard to the tremendous therapeutic

power of broad based supplementation taken all at once (which I often refer to

as Willy’s Baggie, and now Willy’s Baggie II, which is an improved formula).

For those of you not familiar with Willy's recovery story, and for those that

might wish a brief reminder, the gist of this story is as follows:

Beginning at age thirteen, and with only a little guidance from me (a

non-custodial father), Willy began self-applying nutritional supplements and

other natural measures to himself in order to overcome his rather serious

learning disability (for which he received an ADHD diagnosis, and took Ritalin

for about four and a half years). Willy’s academic success (an 89/90 average,

with numerous high 90’s New York State Regents Exams test scores over the past

three years), and the numerous awards that he has received prove that Willy has

come a long way from where he was in the seventh grade (prior to

supplementation), a grade in which he still had quite a bit of difficulty in

regard to being able to read.

In doing what he did to overcome his learning disability, Willy also profoundly

overcame a history of being a weak and sickly child throughout his childhood.

Willy's health, strength, and stamina are nearly that of a world class (Olympic)

athlete, as evidenced by a recent VO2max test (explained below), and what he can

do with weights.

Willy is now eighteen years old, and he is graduating high school this month.

One event that occurred recently involved an award that Willy received. I had

the pleasure of attending the senior award dinner for the high school seniors

that attended New Hartford High School in New Hartford, NY on June 3rd, 2009. At

this senior award dinner Willy won the award for being the graduate who had most

overcome adversity in his academic career. This was the first year this

particular award was given, to the best of my knowledge. It was apparently

created with Willy in mind, and it came with a much appreciated check attached.

(I deeply appreciate the person or persons involved in doing this for my son. I

cannot thank this person, or these persons, enough.)

Another event that occurred recently is rather amazing. This event concerns a

VO2max test. The particulars are below.

Willy recently took a VO2max test with a number of other athletes from his high

school. On this test he scored 69 ml/kg/min.

To explain a VO2max test for those that are not familiar, according to

Wikipedia, VO2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake or

aerobic capacity) is the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport

and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical

fitness of the individual. In sports where endurance is an important component

in performance, such as cycling, rowing, cross-country skiing, swimming and

running, world-class athletes typically have high VO2 maximums. World-class male

athletes, cyclists and cross-country skiers typically exceed 75 ml/kg/min and a

rare few may exceed 85 ml/kg/min for men and 70 ml/kg/min for women.

Given the fact that Willy is only eighteen years of age, and the fact that he is

more of a weightlifter than anything else, Willy’s score on this test is

nothing short of amazing. The persons that administered this test to Willy told

him that NO ONE THAT THEY HAD EVER TESTED WITH A BODY TYPE SUCH AS WILLY’S

(THAT OF A WEIGHTLIFTER) HAD SCORED SO HIGH ON THIS TEST.

When I saw Willy’s brother Maxwell (Max) recently, I asked him if he had heard

about Willy’s VO2max test results. He told me " No " . I told him that Willy beat

everyone that went for this test. I also told him that the person that scored

closest to Willy was a cross-country runner that scored 65 ml/kg/min. At this

point, Willy came in the room. Max asked him who was the cross-country runner

that he beat. When Willy told Max who it was, Max immediately said “No way.

He’s a state champion†(runner). Even Max was surprised at this. And it

takes a lot to surprise Max, believe me.

Weightlifters typically do not score that high on this test. Long distance

runners and other forms of endurance athletes do, or are supposed to.

Although Willy is a weightlifter, he admittedly also runs. For years he

typically ran for two to four miles at a time as part of his self-imposed

training regime. Then he found he could run six miles without becoming

excessively tired. And then he found he could run more. About six or seven

months ago Willy found that he could run fourteen miles without becoming

excessively tired. (He told me “Dad, I found that I just had the energy to run

fourteen milesâ€.) So for the past six or seven months Willy has often run

fourteen miles once (or sometimes twice) a week, in addition to all of his

shorter runs, and all that he does to regularly train with weights.

(Weightlifting is where Willy’s heart lies. The running he does is secondary

to this.)

Another event, which occurred recently, is that Willy came very close to

bench-pressing 325 lbs. He did so on what he said was a bad day for him (he just

did not feel peak, but wanted to see what he could do that day). Willy got to

the very top of the lift of 325 lbs., and decided for the last little bit that

it was wise to get a little help, as he was straining so much, and he does not

want to risk a career ending shoulder injury.

Willy has been bench-pressing 315 lbs. for quite some time now. He can do two

full repetitions at this weight, and almost complete a third. (Willy knows that

his maximum for bench pressing is higher than 315 lbs., due to the fact that he

can do multiple repetitions of this weight. However, he also knows that if he is

too aggressive and tries to go too far to fast he can tear his shoulder out, and

this ends his competitive lifting career altogether. I could not agree with

Willy more in regard to being cautious with bench-pressing such high weights,

especially in light of the fact that he only weighs 180 lbs. himself.)

Willy recently showed me that he can lay on the floor, head near a wall, with

his hands on the floor on either side of his head, and then can pick his legs up

and keep on going... such that he is then doing push ups against the wall, with

his legs suspended in the air. He did 28 of these wall push-ups once. Willy

tells me that no one that he knows can do as many of these wall push-ups as he

can, or come even close.

As I reported a few months ago, last fall Willy did one hundred and twenty-two

(122) uphill sit-ups on an inclined plane with a fifty pound plate on his chest.

A person at his health club told him this was either a New York State record or

close to it, assuming that the Internet reference that this person found was

true. I mention this again here, as it is an event that occurred since Willy’s

last recovery story was written in 2007.

Another event that occurred only a matter of a week or so after Willy’s last

recovery story was written is rather incredible as well. In mid-August of 2007,

Willy’s first year on the football team, soon after football practice began he

tore his ACL. This injury involved a full tear, and not a partial one. A full

tear of the ACL ligament needs to be operated on for the ACL to reattach to the

knee.

This operation was never done, in part due to the fact that Willy healed from

this injury so well and so fast. The people treating Willy for this injury were

amazed at how well Willy recovered from this serious injury. (Willy reported to

me repeatedly that his Willy's Baggies of supplements helped tremendously in

regard to healing.) By late September, perhaps five weeks after Willy tore his

ACL, he was running miles. In early or mid-October, six or seven weeks after

being hurt, Willy told me that he was up to leg pressing 200 lbs. on a

repetitive basis (about half of the weight he was doing prior to getting hurt).

Normally, a full ACL tear that is not operated on means the absolute end of

one’s football career. Despite both Willy’s football coaches, and the doctor

that gave him a physical for football in his senior year, knowing that Willy had

a torn ACL, he was allowed to go out for football. Willy fully participated in

football practices and played in many of the games, He made it through the

season without having any problems with his problematic knee whatsoever. (His

team won the Sectional title, a game played in the r Dome in Syracuse,

NY.)

For a person in high school to get a full ACL tear injury, not have it operated

on (such that the ACL is still unattached), and still be allowed to play

football the very next season, is unheard of, to the best of my knowledge. Willy

simply carries on as though this injury never happened… despite the fact that

it did, and the damage was never surgically repaired. If this is not a testament

to the power of Willy’s Baggies of supplements, I don’t know what is.

Another event that occurred recently is that the health club Willy attends

offered him a job as a physical trainer. This is not a job he asked for, it is a

job that was offered him due to the knowledge that he has, and he accepted it.

Willy has in a sense now become a professional trainer, as he is being paid for

what he knows. (Willy has read a number of weightlifting books. He also learned

about physical training from his high school coaches and some persons at the

health club that he goes to. However, Willy has been his own trainer over the

years for the most part.)

And lastly, an event of very minor significance compared to the rest, is that

Willy is one of only two young men that were asked to pose for the art class in

high school, due to their physique, and the fact that the four major muscle

groups in their upper legs were so well defined.

Conclusion

I have a great deal to thank Willy for in regard to his insistence at age

thirteen " Dad, just put all of the supplements that helped you together, and I

will take them all at once " (thus Willy’s Baggie of supplements was born).

This simple-to-implement approach, along with daily supplementation with

probiotics, mealtime supplementation of vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and

digestive enzymes, and some allergic food avoidance (especially milk and eggs)

has resulted in an absolutely profound change in Willy's physical and mental

health.

Willy's combined supplement approach has also resulted in a big part of a solid

chemical answer for depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other

illnesses being discovered, assuming that the anecdotal evidence generated thus

far holds up when being used with other many persons. (I firmly believe that

this will be found true some day.)

Willy will be going to college in the fall. He intends on attending a community

college in Utica, NY, and then transferring to a four year school. Willy's goal

is to become a high school physics teacher. (This may be a wise career choice in

today's unsound economy. It may also be a wise career choice for anyone that

intends to become a parent, as one has the summer off.) As a minor, Willy is

considering learning how to be a physical trainer, as he is doing this already,

and he enjoys teaching what he knows.

Who knows what Willy can do in the future if he gains a little more knowledge,

and has a little more time? It's anyone's guess at this point. I am betting on

Willy, as he has certainly shown that he has the discipline and work ethic to

achieve even more than he has achieved thus far.

And who knows what Willy can do in the future both athletically and academically

if he supplemented with Willy's Baggies of supplements (or Willy’s Baggie II,

the next generation of our knowledge) every single day, instead of every other

day, as he has been doing for years (due to the expense involved).

Regardless of what may happen in the future… Hoorah Willy!!! I am so proud of

what you taught your teachers, your fellow students, and the rest of us in

regard to what can be self-achieved in regard to mental and physical health

recovery. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,

Darman

An addendum: I finally am using a blog platform that allows two pictures at

once. The picture below was Willy at about age ten and a half or eleven, when he

was on Ritalin for his ADHD diagnosis. The difference in Willy's before and

after pictures on this blog is rather amazing. These two pictures strongly

suggest that the medical industry represents the biggest hoax in history... for

it is treating a whole host of nutrient deficiency syndromes (autism, ADHD,

bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, etc.) with drugs and only drugs...

simply for the money that it can make by doing so.

>Hi ,

That is a wonderful story!

Would you mind expounding on the supplements, dosage and such. I clicked on the

link you gave hoping to get more information but the story is always the same.

And although I would click (don't know if it's my computer or what) on the

'mineral, probiotic, food allergy, etcs.', nothing came up. I'm trying to get

the details of the supplements you used as I have a grandson dx with ADHD

Also, did your son have a problem with candida?

TIA,

Gail
