A Family Illness
Doug Lindsay was born and raised in Missouri. As it turns out, the boy came from a family in which his illness was hereditary. He recalls his mother and aunt having the same illness as he would eventually get. At the time, it was deemed incurable because the specifics were vague, and the illness was unknown.

When Doug was 18 months old, his mother could no longer carry him. When he turned four, his mother, who was already bedridden by then, managed to save her son from choking on his food. But that day was sadly one of the few times that she wasn’t physically limited and, in fact, able to move. For the rest of his life, Doug would try to find the cause of her problems.
