In this day and age of uncertainty, with countless disasters
lurking on the horizon, such as the failure of the US economy,
potential of world war III, collapse of the US dollar, an EMP
attack, or even Planet X, thousands of people are preparing.
There are literally hundreds of books, pamphlets, videos, and
articles that are available on survival techniques, living off
the land and grid, food preparation, and just about every other
subject associated with catastrophes. Many people are busy
stocking up on food, water, buying guns and ammo, building
shelters, and loading up their cellars with dehydrated food and
MRE’s, thinking they are all set and “good to go”. However, one
must ask oneself, “am I truly ready?”
Until the time comes, no one knows, for sure, how he or she will
actually react to a catastrophe or a life-threatening situation.
Personally, my test came on October 1, 2013, when a past
employee, while I working on a backhoe, approached me. Without
any warning, he pulled a .45 semi-automatic handgun and shot me
three times, before killing himself with a shot to the head. The
first round hit me in the right hand, the second came in on the
right side of my chest, went through me to the left side, and
buried in my left shoulder, and the third hit me in the lower
right back and came out through my right chest, as I was leaping
off the backhoe. Needless to say, the shock and pain was
something I had never experienced. With blood pouring out of my
chest, my right index finger almost blown off, and my left arm
immobile because of the lodged bullet in my shoulder, I managed
to give myself emergency first aid. Then, I had to climb back on
the backhoe, because of no cell phone coverage, and drive it,
with my left elbow, almost a mile. After the first call failed,
I had no choice, but to get off the tractor, treat myself for
shock to avoid passing out, and dial 911 six additional times
until I got help. Needless to say,..... That.... was not a very
I have spoken to literally dozens of people about the incident,
and most of them always say something like, “I could never do
that”, or “I couldn’t handle it” and “how did you ever survive?”
After speaking to a young man about the ordeal, he responded,
“If anything like that ever happened to me I would sit down and
cry like a little bitch”. Then there was the middle-aged man who
said to me, “I wish I had your courage, but I don‘t, so it would
be curtains for me“. Mostly, all the responses from people were
very similar and all had a feeling of hopelessness, despair and
a “giving up” attitude. This surprised me, as I never thought
about failing or being helpless. I was on a “mission” and could
only think of one thing, which was survival and beating the
situation at hand. Now, that the dust has had a chance to
settle, and I can reflect on a few things, my grandfather comes
My grandfather (on my father’s side) was a huge man, standing
6’-3” tall and weighing 350 lbs. He is probably the strongest
man I have ever known. He could lift, in his prime, 55 gallon
steel drums filled with motor oil and stack them on top of each
other. Even when he got much older in his late 60’s, with
forearms like Popeye and a size 18 ring finger, no one messed
with “Big John”. Born in New York City in 1898, he left for the
state of Oregon to work in the lumber camps at the age of 16.
As he used to tell me all the time, “hard work and a lot of it,
that was our gym” Once, a friend told him, “you know Mike’s
horse has a girth of 56” and your waist is 58“, what do you
think of that?” My grandfather, sipping from his quart bottle of
Tiger brand ale and thinking for a moment, calmly responded,
“Must be a small horse”.
He operated a small farm down the road from where I grew up and
sold vegetables and strawberries to the neighboring markets. In
the winter, he trucked plywood from a local mill and other
products to Boston, including laurel and balsam Christmas
wreaths which he and my grandmother made in their home. I got to
spend a lot of time, growing up on the farm, with my
grandfather. In fact, he had me do many things that my parents,
if they had known, probably would not have appreciated too much,
such as driving the Ford 8 end tractor, by myself, when I was 5
years old. I could not even reach the clutch in a seated
position, so standing on the running boards was the only way I
could stop and start the dam thing. However, that was the way my
grandfather treated me, never doubting what I might be capable
of and always challenging me.
One day, down by the strawberry fields, we were sitting in his
shanty where we had numerous talks. He turned to me and said,
“you know Stevie (I hated it but he called me that all the time
anyway), some day when you are my age (he was about 70 at the
time), you will look back and think about all the people you
have met through your lifetime. Some of them would have been bad
and some very good. Not counting your mom, your dad or even your
wife, if you ever get married some day,” he paused for a
moment..... Then continued, “If you can fill the fingers of just
one hand with people that have truly made a positive and great
influence in your life and have led you in the right direction,
you can consider yourself a very rich man”. At the time, I was
only about 15 years old, and these words really did not mean
that much to me. After all, there were far more important things
in my life at that time, sports, girls, and raising hell with
the guys to name a few. Today, I am not quite his age yet, when
he told me those words, but the reality and meaning of that
sermon is starting to hit home.
My aunt and uncle would be one finger, since they started me on
the path. From a very early age, they “brainwashed” me that an
education was absolutely necessary. They encouraged me to take
private saxophone lessons from the sixth grade to when I
graduated from high school. Since, they would give me a ride
every week, this gave them the opportunity to see me on a
regular basis and emphasize how important an education really
was. Every week, for 6-7 years, the trip was always the same,
about “how important an education was“, along with the speech on
not being a “quitter” and “bearing down” when life got hard.
“Keeping your nose to the grindstone”, “focusing on the
important facets of life”, “not getting side tracked”, and
“hanging in there when things got rough”, are words that are
still burned into my brain today. Their assertiveness and
concern, for my future, drove me to even acquire the rank of
Eagle in Boy Scouting, and later, it gave me the option and
opportunity, if I wanted to attend West Point.
My goal was to enter the Berklee School of Music, but with
family members, “crashing and burning” in the music industry,
they decided that would not be a very good idea and basically
said "no". I was not a “happy camper” when they made that
decision for me, but since they were paying for my education,
off to engineering school I went. Years later, I eventually
owned my own Civil Engineering and Land Surveying company and
was lucky enough to be very successful. Well, I guess they were
probably right after all.
They are both gone now, but those “weekly rides” are still with
me. Without them, I would have never gone onto college, and my
whole life would have been very different. Maybe, I would have
accepted the offer in going to West Point, or became a full time
musician without advanced schooling. Never the less, my path
through life would have gone down a different road and how it
may have turned out? Well, as my grandfather used to say,
“Now...that’s something to chew on for a spell....”.
The second finger would have to be my calculus professor in
college, during my first semester, of my freshman year. In high
school, my study habits and grades could have been better and
when I entered engineering school, a rude awakening was waiting
for me. It was an awful time, most of the other guys were way
ahead of me, and I was falling far behind. Desperate, I arranged
for some private help from him after class. He was cordial and
very professional all the time, and was always very organized
when he came to class. He dressed and acted the part too, if you
know what I mean. Today, I can still see him in his office, by
his black board, with an integral calculus problem trying to
explain it to me. He tried and tried but I was just not getting
it. Finally, totally frustrated, I said to him, “well, this is
way beyond me and I guess it will never sink in”. He quickly
turned, to directly face me, and peering over those steel-rimmed
glasses of his, he looked directly into my eyes and said with a
deep stern voice, “I think the problem here is not
aptitude...... but attitude”. Well, I never forgot those words
and it totally changed my way of thinking about school and
pushed me to succeed. I got my degree and went on to getting my
professional engineers license and land surveyors registration
in six states. Sadly, he probably never knew how those few
words, said by him that day, affected me in the way they did.
Regrettably, I never had the chance, later in life, to thank
My third finger is the Mayor of a city that I served under as
Public Works Director for many years. When appointed to this
position, I was only 27 years old. With 95 people underneath me,
a 6 million dollar budget, and a city population of 50,000, it
was a very challenging position. A previous mayor appointed me,
when my “third finger” was a city councilor. The council’s job
was to approve or disapprove the mayor’s selection, and although
my “third finger” voted against my appointment, the vote was 7-2
in favor. Therefore, I received the job. Even though he voted
against me, we became very good friends and worked well
together. After several years, he eventually became mayor.
However, stress and politics were a part of the job and I was
not ready for it.
Unfortunately, I was going “down in flames” due to alcohol
abuse. Of course, you think you are fooling everybody and your
attitude and actions reflect it. The path I had decided to take
was definitely the wrong one and would have led to nothing but
total disaster. Losing your job, wife, house, and everything you
had worked for was up for grabs.
Upon returning, after missing work for 2 days, due to a heavy
bout with Miller beer, I got a call to immediately report to the
mayor’s office. Not expecting anything, since I was always up to
the mayor’s office to conduct daily business, I drove up to city
hall and entered his office. With him sitting at his desk, he
offered me a seat next to him as always, and with his hands
clasped together on his desk, he turned directly to me and
asked, “is there anything wrong with you?”, “are you cheating on
your wife?”, “or do you have other problems?”. I replied, “No, I
don’t think so, why?”. He then said, “Well, we don’t want to
lose the best director in the state, you know” and I said,
“Really, how come?” Surprised at my answer, he quickly stood up,
looked directly down at me, and said without hesitation, “do you
have a drinking problem?” If you have ever heard the story about
the man getting the mules attention with a 2x4, well I got it
right between the eyes with those words. Talk about being
whacked and getting a rude awakening.
One thousand thoughts went through my mind in an instant. He
continued with, “All we have in this world is our integrity and
balls, once we lose either one, we are nothing. Booze will take
both from you. If you are going to let this take a hold of you,
then you are probably done here and maybe in life too.”
Well, this year I celebrated 30 years without drinking, because
at that eye opening moment, I promised him and most of all
myself that he would have the director he had once known. After
a few years, under my direction, our Public Works Department
(PWD) was featured on the cover of New England Construction
magazine as "one of the finest PWD's in New England“.
The Mayor was an amazing man, who had the courage and
willingness to confront and help me through a very difficult
time. I have always carried with me his thoughts of keeping your
“integrity” and “balls” throughout my life. Thank God, several
years later, I was able to thank him, and his simple response
was, “no big deal, I knew you could do it“. He is gone now, but
his memory will always be with me. If it were not for him, I
would have probably perished a long time ago.
A man I have known for about 35 years, who became my mentor, in
northern Maine would be my fourth finger. I have always loved
the outdoors and meeting him gave me the opportunity to learn a
tremendous amount about fishing, hunting and life. Being a
Master Maine guide for many years (he starting guiding in the
north at the age of 12), the depth of knowledge contained within
him was something to behold. Paddling a canoe, stalking a deer
in the woods, the art of survival if things went bad, shooting
and cleaning wild game, identifying edible wild foods, emergency
first aid, are just some of the subjects I went to “school” on
with him. Eventually, I obtained my Master Maine guides license
(fishing, hunting, and recreation) and went on to attend several
tactical, advanced survival and medical training schools. We
became great friends and had many talks not just on the outdoors
but also on life.
He took a real interest in me, maybe because he never had a son,
and spent a great deal of time giving his knowledge to me. I was
a “sponge” and he was gracious enough to let me absorb all I
wanted to. As he has said so many times to me, “life is short,
we are only here for a little time, if you do not grab onto it
and live it, before you know it, you are an old man, and then
what good are ya?”
I remember the first day, many years ago, he asked me to guide
for him and I was a little nervous and apprehensive about taking
the party. I looked at him and said, “I don’t think I know
enough yet to take someone out”. His faced turned beat red,
stared at me, and growled with a heavy Maine accent, “In a pig’s
ass you don’t!” Well, that was the end of that discussion. I
went on my first “official day” of guiding.
Throughout my life, both he and his wife have helped me numerous
times. In fact, his wife was actually the person who told me
about the sporting camp that was for sale ten years ago, that I
presently own.
Our friendship is strong to this day. In fact, who do you think
traveled more than 50 miles the day I was shot and met me in the
emergency room only 15 minutes after I arrived by ambulance, and
fed me ice chips in preparation for a possible surgery? Then, he
drove over 100 miles, following the ambulance, to the next
hospital to be at my bedside in the trauma unit. Besides being
my mentor, he is a dear friend, a second father, and nothing is
more valuable than that.
My final finger goes to a man that help save my life. In the
early 90’s I severely hurt my back doing heavy squats in the
gym. For years, I saw doctors, chiropractors, sports therapists,
and other health professionals. I was placed on drugs, muscle
relaxes, painkillers, and others, but nothing really helped
much. I managed to work out and operate my engineering business
but my life was never the same.
In August of 2013, while laying concrete block for a drainage
structure at camp, I severely re-injured my back. Essentially, I
performing my daily guide and work duties at camp
became impossible. For I could not even get
in and out of a pickup truck! However, after listening to John
Moore’s radio show and learning of the , I was good to go after 1-2 weeks of using it and
was pain free, something I had not experienced for 20 years. My
back was excellent, doing my normal life’s work duties was no
problem at all and it was like having a "breath of fresh air".
However, I never expected, that on October 1, 2013, what a “new”
back would mean to me. Because of my healthier condition, I was
able to move like lightning when the shooting started and, thank
God, avoid a killing shot by the gunman. The energy cleaner
continued to help me throughout the healing process and amazed
the medical staff. I experienced a rapid recovery, and today
(almost five months later), although not 100 percent, I am on
the road to being almost as good as new.
During my early days of recovery, John sent me a book titled, “The
Power of Your Subconscious Mind”, by Dr. Joseph Murphy,
which really opened some doors and confirmed why I had survived
the shooting in the first place. You see, all the fingers of my
“life’s hand” played a role in my survival. As Dr. Murphy states
in his book, “focus your thought on the solution to your
problem....solve it with your conscious mind”, this became
extremely relevant when I was trying to survive that day.
Summarizing Dr. Murphy’s thoughts, a good captain (conscious
mind) directing the crew (subconscious mind) is crucial to the
proper operation of the ship (your body).
During my “test” in October, this principle was priceless to me.
Dr. Murphy continues, “Your thought is action, and the reaction
is the automatic response of your subconscious mind to your
thought”, and “the subconscious mind controls and governs all
your experiences”. These are just some of the very interesting
thoughts and principles in his book, and once you really think
about it, are true and valuable advice to get through any part
of your life. Probably, two of the most profound and relative
statements in the book are, “The law of your mind is the law of
belief“, and “the belief in your own mind which brings about the
result”. These simple words, with extraordinary meaning, should
always be carried with us.
In summary, the essence of the book is, your conscious mind must
be in a positive and healthy state, other wise the subconscious
mind cannot operate the controls of the “ship” to get you
through a tough situation. People I have spoken to about the
incident, immediately take the attitude “I can’t” or “that would
be impossible for me to get through”, and “I would never survive
that”, all sets up the conscious mind to falter, and with a
failed captain comes a failed crew and a failed ship. The
“defeatist attitude” and the desire to just “lie down” spells
disaster during a tragedy. After speaking to these people about
getting their minds in check and getting rid of the “stickin
thinkin” and believing in themselves, that they too could
survive a catastrophe, have thanked me up and down. For I have
given them some hope and the internal workings that they might
endure their "test" when it comes. For me, that realization of
those people has become the most gratifying and self-healing
part of this whole mess.
Therefore, in our preparation for that fateful day, it will take
more than stashing a few MRE’s, and some ammo to survive a
catastrophe or a dire circumstance. We all need to prepare our
minds and bodies for what may occur and as John has said several
times on his radio show, “get your spiritual house in order“.
All the people mentioned here, contributed to my survival. They
were, in a way, using some of Dr. Murphy’s principles and
techniques to prepare me for handling life’s most difficult
times. Simply put, the most important words that I have
discovered through this, and they will remain with me always,
are as Dr. Murphy states, “for your mind will control the
outcome.” For me, those words say it all.
Fortunately, on that day I had focus, determination, and the
will to live. Above all, my mind was in the correct state to
meet the challenge and “control the outcome”.
Yes, my grandfather was right. If you are lucky enough to “fill
those fingers on just one hand, you are a very rich man“. Thank
God, I had those “fingers” on that day in October, to call upon,
when the chips were down and I was forced into an abyss of evil
and ugliness.
Armed with those “fingers“, and maybe with a little divine
intervention help as well....... I was able to survive.

Winning Life’s
I have been
active all my life, running, weightlifting, and being an
outdoors-man have all been a part of my daily routine. Back in
the mid 90's, at the age of about 40, I hurt my back by doing
heavy lifts at the gym. I was in a rush to go on a
snowmobiling trip and wanted to get my workout done.
Unfortunately, doing heavy lifts, not taking the time to put a
weight lifting belt on and not holding proper form, spelled
disaster. From there on, I suffered for many years and sought
treatment from doctors, chiropractors, and sports therapists.
Although they helped me, and I was able to continue working
out and life in general, I never recovered from the injury.
Thankfully, during those years, the physical part of my life
was not that demanding, since I was a Professional Civil
Engineer and Registered Land Surveyor, and managed my own
In 2003, I had
the opportunity to sell the Company and in 2004, purchased an
existing Hunting, Fishing and Sporting business at an area in
Northern Maine, where I had vacationed for many years and
guided on a part time basis. Additionally, during those years,
I had acquired my Master Maine Guides license, so this venture
seemed ideal.
During the summer
of 2013, I severely re-injured my back, laying concrete block
for a drainage structure at camp. Essentially, I was crippled,
climbing into a pick up truck was nearly impossible, my
guiding duties were extremely painful, and the physical
requirements of running a sporting camp became very difficult.
The pain in my back and shooting down my left leg was
unbearable at times. I could not stand, sit, or even lay down
without severe discomfort. I tried a chiropractor again, and
only got marginal relief. At this point, I was desperate. As a
regular listener of the John Moore show and hearing the many
testimonials from individuals about how well the Energy
Cleaner worked for them, I decided to give it a try and at the
beginning of September 2013, I purchased an Energy Cleaner.
My wife, who was
anxious to help me, , and after only one week of
use, the pain was almost gone. I could not believe it. After
two weeks, I had no pain at all, my back was strong, and I
felt like I did at 25!& Physical work became a non-issue
and leaping into a pickup to take people on a guided fishing
trip became enjoyable again. I was back in the gym doing my
full routine and running 10-12 miles a week. The years of
suffering had come to an end! At the time, I had no idea, just
how important my healthy and strong back would mean to me in
the very near future.
Then October 1st
came and my life changed. We had just closed camp for the
season and we were doing our normal close up for the winter.
At the last minute, I decided to dig a drainage ditch along a
portion of the 1.5 mile of gravel road we maintain leading
into camp before heading home the next day to Massachusetts.
While doing this, a past employee who had worked for me for
about 5 years showed up in his mothers car and sat about 250
feet up the road and began watching me. This man had become
physically ill during the previous year and was unable to
perform his job, so he had given his notice in the fall of
2012. After that, I was aware he had become depressed and was
seeking physical and psychiatric help. I saw him occasionally
during the summer and thought he was managing his condition as
best as he could. I did wonder why he was watching me, but
thought he was just remembering the "good times" when he
worked for us.
He proceeded to
drive past me, while I was off the backhoe using a hand shovel
to clean the ditch and he said, "nice job" to me. He then
stopped about 300 feet down the road and turned around,
stopping there and observing me again. As I threw the shovel
into the bucket of the backhoe, he drove past me again,
towards camp, and stopped about 100 feet in front of me. I
said to myself, "what the hell is he doing there....I
guess he's just waiting for me to go around him and he will
follow me back to camp and have coffee as we had done many
times at the end of the day."
I got on the open
cab machine that has a roof only and drove up to where he was
parked and stopped almost directly opposite him about 10-12
feet away, and pointed to my watch and said, "it's
4:45....it's quitting time". I looked down,
reached for the throttle with my right hand, and heard a very
loud blast and felt excruciating pain in my right hand as if
it was being hit with a sledgehammer. At that instant, I did
not know what was going on, as the first shot rang out from
his 45 semi automatic pistol hitting my right hand, as it
passed in front of my body, almost taking my right index
finger off. This actually saved my life, since this round
would have hit me in the center of the chest if the bullet had
not ricocheted off my hand. Then, I must have flinched and
turned slightly to the left when the second shot was fired as
it hit me in the right pectoral muscle, tearing through and
across my chest, and burying into my left shoulder. I knew
then, "it was time to get out of Dodge" as he was trying to
kill me. I leaped off the backhoe, to the left, and was hit by
the third shot. This one entered my lower right back and came
out my upper right chest. This all took place in a matter of a
few seconds and I could not believe what was happening to me.
When I hit the
ground, I was pouring blood from my chest and knew direct
pressure was my only chance. I grabbed my right pectoral
muscle as hard as I could with my bad right hand. as I could
not use my left as it was immobile. I thought my left shoulder
was shattered, but found out later it was because of the
lodged bullet. While all of this was happening, I was quickly
accessing what other injuries I might have. I even coughed and
spit to see if my lungs were damaged and saw a small amount of
blood in my saliva. Then, the fourth shot rang out, followed
by silence.
I was able, with
great difficulty, to stand up gradually, and look over the
rear tire of the backhoe. He was still sitting on the driver's
side and smoke was coming from the top of his head. I knew
then he had killed himself and I needed to get help quick.
Unfortunately,
from past experience, cell phone service was very limited in
this area of the gravel road, and I had no choice but to get
back on the tractor and drive about a mile to the top of the
hill. Walking this distance, I knew, was impossible in my
condition. Steering with my left elbow, working the throttle
with my left hand, and continuing direct pressure on my chest
wounds with my shot up right hand, the tractor began to move.
At this point in time, I did not know if I was going to make
it, so I attempted to call my wife with the speed dial
feature, who had already gone back to Massachusetts. I knew
that if at least the call recorded on her phone, and the worse
happened, she would have known I was thinking of her. The call
rang a few times and dropped as expected.
The trip up to
the top of the hill seemed to take days. I have often heard
that during times like this, people think of a thousand
different things and I was no exception. The would of, could
of, should of scenario was blazing through my mind.
I became very
angry and "pissed off" that this had happened to me. I
remember saying aloud, "I will not go out like this ......of
all the things I have been through in my lifetime......I
will not go out this way!"
Thank God for
governing devices on diesel engines, or I would have probably
blown up the engine trying to get help. I was having a very
difficult time, in my impaired condition, operating the
throttle and buried the tachometer at least three times.
However, when I finally reached the top of the hill, I
immediately dialed 911 and a person answered, "You have
dialed 911... What is your emergency?", I attempted to
respond and the call dropped. Then a weak feeling came over me
along with a cold sweat. I knew what was happening and it
meant real trouble. I was going into shock and if I passed
out, it was over for me. Quickly as possible, I climbed off
the machine and laid down in a drainage ditch with my feet up
to treat myself for shock. Fortunately, this worked and
allowed me to continue dialing 911. After about the fifth or
sixth try, the call finally held and the paramedics and state
police, including the life flight helicopter, were on their
After about 15-20
minutes had passed, four bear hunters came upon me and I was
able to tell them what had happened to me. Once they found out
the suspect was not verified as being dead, they immediately
loaded their rifles and surrounded me and said, "Don’t worry
guy, if he is still alive, he will not make it up that
hill!" You do not know how comforting that was to me. Then,
one of them said, "Hey bud, you know you are bleeding
out the back too..." Luckily, they had lots of paper
toweling with them and they plugged up the hole in my back.
During this time,
I was still on the phone with the 911 personnel, as they
require you to do this until help actually arrives. I kept
asking them "where were they?", and she kept
telling me, "They are on the way....be patient." Finally, after 30
minutes had past, I was getting frustrated and angry. That is
when they told me the "ambulance could not go around the
suspects car until it was cleared by the State Police." I kept telling
them they could access me by another gravel road further down
the paved road and did not have to go by the suspect’s car.
After arguing with them for what seemed a very long time, I
re the local game warden had come upon
the scene of the suspect’s car and heard me talking to the
personnel on the radio. He immediately, grabbed one of the
EMT’S and said "I know where Steve is and how to get
to him......get in my truck!" After 45 minutes
from the initial call, help finally arrived. The life flight
helicopter was on stand by in a local field, but since they
were able to stabilize me, I was taken by ambulance to the
local hospital about 20 miles away. Later that evening, I was
transferred to another hospital with a trauma unit via a two
hour ambulance ride. After the medical team finished working
on me, I learned that substantial tissue and muscle damage had
occurred, but no vital organs were hit, except for some
bruising on my lungs, and I was lucky to be alive. Over the
next couple of days, the doctors and medical staff were amazed
at how quickly I was recovering and was discharged from the
hospital in just 3 days. I was very sore, weak, and barely
able to move around, but I could walk
I have hunted all
my life, been involved with guns, attended many tactical
schools, and had emergency first aid training. Having treated
several people in an emergency situation, I have seen broken
bones and severe injuries. However, none of this prepared me
for what I was about to see. When I got out of the hospital
and went home, I realized then, just how much trauma bullets
can actually inflict to the human body.

my neck and most of my back was entirely black, blue, yellow,
purple just about any color you can possibly imagine.
Internally, I was in deep pain in many areas and since they do
not stitch bullet holes closed because of the necessity for
them to drain and weep because of possible infection, constant
discharge of fluids and old blood, sometimes heavy, continued
for several days. Of course, I was still coughing up blood due
to the bruising of my lungs. However, after utilizing the
Energy Cleaner every day for 10-14 days, the bleeding/weeping
stopped, the coughing of blood ceased, and 80% of my trauma
and severe colorization was gone. At my follow up visit, the
doctor and nurses found themselves in disbelief on how quickly
I was healing. They just stood around me with my shirt off and
shook their heads. Then, after less than four weeks using the
Energy Cleaner, all the trauma was gone and my wounds were
totally healed including my hand, which will require therapy
in the future to gain the full use of it.
I am not a
believer in painkillers and throughout the entire incident,
including my stay in the hospital, I never took or was
administered any painkillers. You do not know what pain is
until you have someone digging in your shoulder for 20 minutes
trying to remove a bullet. This was my choice, since it is my
the healing process is slowed when the body is on
As of today,
about 4 1/2 weeks after the shooting, I ran two, walked three
miles yesterday, and went back to the gym, today, for the
first time. Without, my back being totally healed on that
fateful day, there would have been no way I could have moved
quick enough in leaping off the backhoe and the third shot or
possibly a fourth one would have killed me. There is no doubt
the Energy Cleaner worked for me. Besides saving my life, it
promoted almost super healing powers during the recovery
Many things went
right for me and I can only be forever thankful, and the "will
to live" is truly an amazing attribute the human body is
blessed with. Additionally, I am sure someone was with me that
day and I often think about that too. After the dust settles,
you have a lot of time to think and your mind continues to
run. I wonder, at times, if I should have seen this coming.
Did I miss some clues or actions by the suspect in the
previous months, maybe even the slightest detail? Although, he
worked for me for years, I fished, hunted, and guided with him
as well. We never had any real confrontation to speak of, and
we always accomplished a lot together when he worked for us at
Most of it does
not make any sense and guess I will never know what was in his
mind that day. One thing for sure, I have learned, you must be
aware of your surroundings at all times, and expect the
unexpected. This is especially true, when it
involves business or personal relationships that may have gone
astray. I do not mean that you have to live your life in fear,
but be aware and conduct your daily life accordingly.
Unfortunately, this is something I had become complacent with
in applying from my tactical training. This will never happen
again! Guaranteed!
A few days ago,
one of my friends asked me, "How are you doing?" I thought for a
moment, looked at him with a smile, and responded, "How would you
think a guy is doing after he just won the biggest and most
important lottery of them all?"

Subject: Energy Cleaner testimonial- cancer
Date: Tuesday, August 2,
The following information is the
text from an exchange of emails concerning a woman named Susan
in Kansas City, MO who had just learned she had cancer.
Susan's friend Lynn was a school
classmate who wanted to help by getting her an Energy Cleaner.
Maria is Lynn's daughter. Lynn and her husband Mike own a
furniture store where we are customers so they know of my work.
Their daughter Maria contacted me last summer to inquire about
the Energy Cleaner and find out if it would help their friend
Susan who just learned she had the cancerous tumor. I don't have
permission to give out any of their identities so that part of
each email will show as "xxxx".

about what you do. I hope I have the right email address, I
found it on the internet. I've tried your home # a couple of
times but was unable to reach you. I was talking about your
energy machine to a family friend and also some other family
members of mine. They have strong interest in what you do and I
didn't know if you had a website or if there was any info. out
there for them on how to go about purchasing one. Also is it
only designed for certain illnesses or can it help and vast # of
things? My family friend has been diagnosed with a rare kind of
tongue cancer. Is this also something that could be used for
fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease? If you have any
info. or can lead me into the right direction for these people
please let me know. Thanks so much for your time and hope you're

I had a two hour telephone
conversation with Susan the day before to explain how the Energy
Cleaner works. Susan was very stressed after receiving the bad
news from her doctor. They didn't give her much hope but I told
her there was MUCH hope for her. Lynn and Mike (Lynn's husband)
had met with me the day before. They purchased the Energy
Cleaner and immediately departed for Kansas City, Missouri to
deliver it to Sue. Maria then sent me this email:

Hi Tom, Thanks so much for taking

Tom, Thank you for meeting us on
Thurs. morning to deliver the energy machine. Sue is very
optimistic and is smiling and laughing again. We are so anxious
to see the results and I can't seem to stay focused on anything
else. On the way home from KC we were talking to our son, Sean.
He would also like to purchase one. (Does not want to wait until
Sue is finished with ours.) We will need to send his to..Denver,
CO. Please let me know the amount and I will send you a check.
You will probably be getting many orders from our staff. They
are all very interested.
Thank you, again... Lynn xxxxxx

Sue's tumor began to rapidly
shrink in size while using the Energy Cleaner. The interest
building up and Maria asked me to do a seminar at their store. I
arranged for a woman named Anne in Ohio to call in during the
seminar and we put her on speaker phone so everyone could hear
and ask her questions.
Anne is an anesthesia technician
in a hospital and is involved with tumor surgeries on a regular
basis. She does her job but doesn't agree with what they do for
cancer patients. Anne had purchased several Energy Cleaner
instruments. One for her family, another for her father and one
for her friends Barb and Pip (Barb's husband).
Anne told us during the seminar
that her father had prostate cancer that had spread and the
tumor was the size of a basket ball. There were several "gasps"
in the room when she said that. It even shocked me. He had very
little medical intervention and was able to eliminate this large
tumor and is in complete remission after using the Energy
Anne's friends Barb and Pip both
had cancer. Barb had a mid stage breast cancer and Pip had a
very late stage prostate cancer. In Pip's case the cancer had
spread everywhere and the doctors said it was too late to do
anything. They "gave" him a short time to live. I asked Anne how
they were all doing, she said her father is just fine, Barb has
regular test performed and her cancer is gone. When asked about
Pip she said he's doing great and waved to her that morning as
she passed him on the road.
Then Anne said Pip will now
repeatedly test negative for any cancer when it had previously
been throughout his body. She said he is in his late seventies
and according to the doctors he was supposed to be dead five
years ago. He had no medical therapies at all because the
doctors said it was way too late for him. They recommended
Hospice care but his only method of healing was the Energy

when we were talking on the phone last week that you could do a

Goodmorning Tom, Just recv. e-mail
from Susan and thought you might like the input. She began her
second week of treatment yesterday. She reported that both rad.
and med. oncologist marked improvement in tongue mobility, knot
on rt side of throat can't be felt, and mass on the left is
softer in texture. She's using when possible during day and now
sleeping on at night. She said she can't wrap neck in foil any
longer because of the heat it produces. Radiation has burned her
throat. She is even gaining weight instead of losing which docs.
are happy about. Hopefully she will have better results next
week and discontinue treatments and just use machine. It's a
shame she couldn't have put off treatments another couple of
weeks. Thx. so much and have a great day!

Goodmorning Tom, Just wanted to
update you on Sue. My mom spoke with her last night on the phone
and she is very ill due to the treatments. She is still using
the machine at night on her bed as she sleeps and knows that it
gives her just enough energy to get thru the day. She has now
run into the diagnostic issue you talked about. They will not
give her any more screenings until 1 month after she has
completed 7 wk. treatments. She informed her doc. yesterday she
would not be completing 7 wk. of treatments. I just hope she
quits before it kills her. I was going to email her and tell her
to use it in the tub as much as possible as that is the most
effective way of detox. Do you have any other suggestions for
use? Her throat has been burned due to rad. so it hurts her to
wrap with foil like she was doing. She advised my Mom not to
worry she will make it thru this....so at least she's got the
will power to live. She is also still eating normal food and not
using the feeding tube. Docs advised her she needed to be using
it, but so far she is refusing to give up the real stuff. Just
wanted to let you know the status. Keep in touch.

Maria has a good sense of humor. I
told her I really couldn't answer this question as I had no

Hi Tom, Hope all has been going

been discussing it here at the store.........Is it possible that
using the energy machine can work against those who have had
tubes tied or a vasectomy. LOL I know your not a doctor but
would this be a concern for some that have had those procedures.
We been laughing about it here, but some are actually concerned.

Hi Lynn, yes things are dong
better. I can now talk without however I
have junk that I constant have to cough up. Chris is coming out
to spend the week-end with me -- I really didn't feel up to
until just recently. I'm up about every 2 hr through the night
to cough up junk so that I don't get sick. They are keeping me
comfortable on pain med. Seem as though I go to cancer center
alot even though I'm done with treatment. Wed & Fri I've
been going for 3 hr IV treatment to keep me hydrated. Mon blood
work & Wed to see radiation dr. before I fly out to visit my
mom for a week. Last week I saw med. dr. & he said I doing
great and it will be probably be 1 to 2 wk before radiation
finally stop doing it junk. I'm finally able to drink a little
water & broth. It will be awhile before I'm eating and will
mainly be using tube for feeding & medications. If I lose
another 5 lbs I'll be at my weight when we were in
school--nothing is in the same place though. I'm scheduled to
have a cat scan on 10/25 then see dr. 10/28 in hope he will
release to go back to work. Will see how it goes. I've got alot
of energy and stamina I'm going to have to get back. They all
keep telling me that I've done remarkable through the
treatments, probably the best they had--and I keep bathing &
sleeping with our machine. Would have hated to have gone through
this with out this machine as its been a BEAR. Thanks for caring
so much and be a terrific friend. I'll keep you up dated.

Dear Family & Friends Just
returned from appointments with both medical & radiation
oncologist with "GREAT NEWS"--Pet & Cat scans showed the
mass to be resolved. This basically means no evidence of cancer.
I still have months of healing ahead for me but each day I feel
stronger. I have been very fortunate to have had such a big
support base from you all. Thank you for the cares &
concerns . I believe everything from doctors, family and
friends, prayers from across the country & an "E-machine"
has helped me win this fight. Looking forward to spending time
with my family & friends. Hope you all have a great holiday.

I think this is the last update
concerning Susan. Lynn sent this and also commented on her own

problem that plagued her for many years.

Tom, I wanted to let you know that
my fibromyalgia seems to be gone and my back has healed. In
1993, I vacuumed for a straight 7+ hours at the furniture store.
The next day was bad. That started a year long effort to find
out what the problem was. This is when I was diagnosed with FMS
and a possible hair-line crack in my back. It has given me
problems for the last 17 years. Now, thanks to the E-box, as
Mike calls the energy machine, I seem to be doing so much
better. We continue to use it on a regular basis. Sue xxxxx also
has fantastic news for you. I'm sure when she gets a chance she
will let you know that she is in complete remission. Sue was
starting back to work this week. We realize that she had both
Chemo and radiation treatments, but thanks to your machine she
has the future to look forward to. We thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Mike & Lynn

Latest message from Maria with
questions on connecting the Energy Cleaner to the mattress
springs on her bed. She also commented on her Grandmother's use
of the Energy Cleaner. I remember her Grandmother showing me the
large bump on her elbow that the doctors could do nothing about.
She was hoping the Energy Cleaner would help. Looks like it
worked for her. I really enjoyed meeting Maria's Grandmother
(Lynn's Mother). She is very outspoken and fun to talk with.
Towards the end of the seminar she got quite vocal and was
trashing ALL doctors! lol She called them a bunch of idiots! It
embarrassed Lynn who was very red faced by then and said "Come
on Mom it's time to leave" as she dragged her Mother out the
door! I laughed all the way home. Now this woman has healed and
is most likely telling all her friends all about it. We have
more fun with all of this than should be allowed !! .....

Hi there, I was just wondering, I
cut a hole in my mattress and connected the wire to the border
rod inside my mattress. Since I've done that I don't feel like
it's doing me much good. I have a very thick mattress with a lot
of foam, does that make a differece? Or should I try to connect
it to one of the inside springs instead of the outside edge? Has
the radioactivity hit the midwest yet? It's so scary what those
poor people in Japan are being exposed to. Also, just wanted to
pass along when my Grandma first bought the energy machine she
had a large fluid filled sack on her elbow. It has taken quite a
while but it is now gone. Yeh!!
