My Credentials
The publishing of my book is done through my company Godin Enterprises, Inc. I personally answer all emails.
Once in a while someone asks me for my credentials. My credentials are not in the health field. I am not a doctor, dietitian
or even a nurse. But I do consider myself somewhat intelligent. I can read and comprehend things that are out of my field.
When I run upon a term I do not understand I look it up, research it and move on.
My other credential is that I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and will probably always have it. I have suffered the pain and
debilitating effects of the disease. I know first hand what it is like to have AS. This is an advantage I have over most
general practitioners of medicine. I think it is safe to say that I have spent more hours studying Ankylosing Spondylitis
than most doctors. I have also had the opportunity to experiment on myself.
I get feedback all the time from people who have bought my book and they tell me how they had to help their doctor just to
diagnose the disease. I have experienced this myself. If you take time to think about it it is not hard to believe. There
are millions of diseases and only a decade or so for a doctor to go through their education.
Then when they see you they have about 15 minutes to check you out. They may run further tests if your insurance covers it.
The pressure they face to keep costs down by the insurance companies is high.
Another question I get is when did you get AS, how old are you now?
I got the full blown AS when I was 38, studied it and tested options on myself for about a year. When I was 39 I had completely
come to the routine and diet that I have now been on for seven years. I am still symptom and pain free. I am more flexible
than I was in my early twenties.
So I hope this answers some questions you may have had. I have AS but it is completely in remission. How do I know it is
not gone away naturally? If I go off of the diet, I can start feeling a difference in hours, and more in a day. The pain
in my back will start coming back.
I go back on the diet, and in 4 to 5 days I am well again.
So enjoy the book and send in your testimonial when you get better.
Thanks
Joel Godin
