There comes a point in all of our lives where we are forced to make decisions and keep them.  I was faced with a Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis and the generally accepted North American medical treatment; IV drugs.  The alternate decision was to go with diet change, exercise, and supplementation.  2yrs later, I weigh 100lbs less, eat a wonderful vegan diet and practice yoga every other day.  Making the decision to practice yoga is one that I will keep for the remainder of my life.
