“Fate cares about us better than we care about ourselves!”
Demosthenes (rhetorician, politician, 384 BC - 322 BC)
About Me & You
About Me...
↓ I was a person with weaknesses, absolute, imperfect, atomistic, difficult, inaccessible, awkward, selfish, … an “angel” and a “devil” transformed into a human and sometimes, the “bitterest”… medicine!
♠ I was born with Mediterranean anemia stigma (mother) and throughout my life I experienced huge energy and emotional fluctuations! A set of contrasts and the harmony-balance was a constant question…
↓ In infancy, I had acute bronchitis that developed into severe pneumonia. This incident caused me to become very sensitive and prone to colds…
♠ I was suffering from diarrhea from my infancy… until November 2015.
♥ Traditionally in Hellas (and in many other countries) it is customary for parents to give to their children, as a sign of respect and honor, the name of one of their parents (usually grandmother or grandparent). At my own baptism it was decided to take my grandfather’s name from my father’s side (Nikolaos). But something happened… that was unexpected or selfish or strange or accidental or supernatural… Something… which was the need of the brain to believe in something beyond the laws of nature (it may have been a combination of two or more causes). What is certain is that this event “follows” me, “leads” me, “accompanies” me and characterizes me throughout my life…
♠ At the age of 18 months, they performed hernia removal surgery and at the same time they proceeded to remove the appendix. “Unfortunately”… the “treating doctors”… “forgot”… something… inside my body, as a result of which they re-operated… on me to remove it…
✓ I have not been vaccinated. I have always had an immediate allergic reaction even to the Mantoux tests…
✓ My life was in danger 5 times… In all 5 cases (as it turned out and I understood afterwards) my Angel was there!
↓ At the age of 6 (November 16, 1974, afternoon) I received an unprovoked attack with punches, kicks and insults by a policeman…
♠ From the age of 7 to 10, every summer and specifically in the months of July-August, the following phenomenon occurred: I had a high fever (38 ºC – 40 ºC) every afternoon (13:00 – 16:00 p.m.)…
↓ From the age of 8 to 20, I saw dying 25 of the 60 children in the small, degraded Athenian neighborhood/district where we grew up due to various causes…
♠ During my life there have been many times when I worked very hard and at a devastating pace…
♥ At the age of 16 I decided to study sports medicine at the famous sports school in Cologne (Sporthochschule Köln) in what was then West Germany…
♠ At the age of 17 I trained at O.A.K.A. (Olympic Athletic Center of Athens, in Maroussi). In medical examinations I did I was diagnosed with cardiomegaly and I remember the doctor coming and telling me exactly: “I wonder how you are still alive… Your heart is huge!”…
↓ At the age of 19 –serving my military service– I showed up at the soldiers training center in Tripoli (Peloponnesus) weighing 72 kg, and 20 days later I was only 56 kg… We were eating unacceptably and I started to have a very persistent and annoying cough that developed into acute bronchitis and pneumonia (very wet climate). And the military “doctors” gave me aspirins (?) for fever and pneumonia…
♠ There were 5 other cases where my life or health was endangered, sometimes less and sometimes more…
↓ At the age of 21 I began to understand more about energy changes… In the long run and after many examinations, the existence of a germ that was not known in the medical world was ascertained…
♠ At the age of 24 I suffered the first painful allergic shock…
↓ By the age of 32 I had had 4 strokes and 2 heart attacks…
♠ In the winter and spring of 2004 – 2005 I worked as a musician in Arachova. I got pneumonia (winter, very humid climate) and in a period of 72 hours, I had diarrhea 192 times!
↓ At Christmas of 2012 during a business trip from Mytilene to Athens I contracted pneumonia…
♠ At Christmas of 2013 again during a business trip from Mytilene to Athens I got pneumonia again…
♥ From the age of 32 to 47 I had another 6 strokes. The 3 of them were painless and in the other 3, I was very lucky to open my nose with a lot of blood pressure!
♠ With the advent of pre-planned capital controls in Hellas (June 29, 2015), I “experienced” an unthinkable and… very painful economic catastrophe…
The symptoms of liver dysfunction and gallbladder continued to increase… but my financial reality had sucked me into a whirlpool…
I was in free fall… A fall into the void… A fall, which as it turned out later… would stop in the emergency of a hospital…
♠ I grew up with people around me with syndrome of occupation, which they passed on to me… A syndrome that I managed to eliminate when I was in the emergency of Woodhull Hospital, in New York, on November 5, 2015, after a crisis of acute pancreatitis, a super-swollen white liver (hepatic steatosis), which was almost non-functional… and an over-swollen gallbladder full of gallstones, ready… to “explode”…
✓ Since then, an unequal, lonely but uninterrupted and constant struggle has started against the medical conditions, the chances of survival (due to the danger and criticality of the condition), all the medical process and my bad –until then– self…
About Me & You!
↓ I was insulted, ridiculed, a laughingstock by doctors around the world, faced unbelievable and shameful medical practices (verbal terrorism), failed diagnoses (intentional or not), very unfavorable conditions of care and living, but…
✓ Equipped with the belief in the supreme being, man, medical science, medical vocation, alternative medicine, my good self and in combination with the constant search, observation, recording of all facts/data/events, study, open-mindedness, experimentation, constant effort, support, cooperation, love and especially respect for existence, life and health, I am here!
