Introduction to “Dan’s Daily Dose”
Dan Erschen continues to make progress with his MS as a disease. Is it luck? A fluke? A blessing? Or can others benefit from what Dan is doing? Kate and Dan are putting together a protocol that Dan does consistently and would like to share this with you and see if we can get a few people willing to do the same thing consistently. We would then measure and share the results of these few people with others as we go forward. Please attend to learn more.
