First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to you for putting together the recent conference in KC. I don’t think my brain has swelled so much since college, what, with all of that delicious information I absorbed! Your intelligence and passion when it comes to mental health and amino acid therapy is breathtakingly beautiful. When I think of all the lives you’ve bettered and/or saved, I not only feel emotional, I feel a deep-rooted desire to serve others in the same fashion. You see, people are my passion, and it’s taken my entire adult life to finally discover how I can utilize that passion for the greater good. And for that, I want to thank you.
I want to say how much I enjoyed the class and the information presented and how much sense this all makes if you stop and look at it. The alcohol relapse and hypoglycemia is spot on. I think if we can just get the recovering person to embrace this one factor, things would be so much different for them. Thank you for the work you do and your sincerity in this. It shows how much you care.
