At twenty-six years of age, after suffering a hip fracture that left Eliot on crutches for six months with titanium pins implanted in his left femur so he could walk without the feeling of pain, Eliot decided it was time to get some answers. For twenty years he had always asked his parents and doctors why he had epilepsy. He was usually told that there was no explanation. He decided to show what was being done wrong by researching holistic medicine and the positive effects that it has had on his lifestyle. Eliot never thought that this would make it impossible for others to understand him on both the personal and professional level. Anybody who has been on anticonvulsant medication should be screened for osteoporosis and be regularly taking calcium fortified with vitamin D. The picture on the front of the book is of some red rock formations, taken while touring Sedona, Arizona, while Eliot was on a personal hiatus.
