Been a member since 05-20-2010; Decided to brave it out and GROW with everyone in this site. Served 22 1/2 years in the USAF, diagnosed with rare disease 2004 (Pri. Amyloidosis). Because there is no proven cure; everything is EXPERIMENTAL. Been through aggressive chemo, stem cell transplant, dialysis, kidney transplant. I discovered the medicinal values of Medical Marijuana five years ago when a friend with prescription showed me how. Now I'm still kicking and designing my own medicine (feminized pollen collections). Chromosome manipulation!
