This post is very old and very sad, but there is news here for sarcoidosis sufferers. It awes me that Reggie could do all that he did, while most likely suffering from sarcoidosis for much of his career. Most people have sarcoidosis for a long time before they are diagnosed. Reggie truely was one of the greatest ever! Reggie could possibly still be alive if the NIH (National Insitute for Health) would open their eyes and really learn about the disease and quit telling the general public that Steroids are the only treatment. Sarcoidosis is a immune system disease that affects the entire body including the heart. Sarcoidosis is a silent killer. It kills as many people as Aids, but no one talks about the Sarcoidosis epidemic! Steroids like prednisone have been the standard treatment for years, and I might add the wrong treatment. Understand that prednisone is not an anabolic steroid, no atheletic performance gains come from its use. Sarcoidosis is actually caused by cell wall deficient bacteria and there is a real cure! Anyone in who posted to this that has sarcoidosis or has a loved one that has sarcoidosis please search the internet for the marshallprotocol. E-mail me if you can't find it! I think Reggie would want this posted so that others could be spared what he went through. He would want to know that his death enabled others to live!
