Episode notes
Real stories, told by real people.
We've a new episode, and a new GIANTS AMONGST US. Today Nate joins us, and he's got a story to tell. Nate's a musician, who's been in love with music for as long as he can remember. At an early age, he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. With there being no real treatment or medication for his condition, he was prescribed pain killers at one point, and found himself heavily addicted for 13 years. Nate talks about the point where he finally decided to kick the habit (cold turkey), and his growing discouragement with Western medicine.
There's also 2016, where Nate was diagnosed with lung cancer - "the middle & bottom lobes of my right lung removed during a 9 hour surgery. Luckily the surgeons got all of the cancer out and I didn’t need chemo or radiation."
