A heartwarming picture book about a three-legged cat named Chicken who never got the memo that he's supposed to be different. A story about resilience, friendship, and the big heart that carries you through, for kids who need to hear that a little bit of "different" never stopped anybody.
It started with diverticulitis. The flares, the fear, the feeling that my own body had turned on me. That road led to a colon resection, then a hernia repair, and then the necrotizing MRSA infection that followed it. Seven debridement surgeries to survive that one alone. Nine surgeries in all, and years of learning to trust my body again.
Then the diverticulitis came back. Nobody had told me it could. What I was handed was another round of antibiotics, and then another, a cycle with no end in sight. I knew antibiotics weren't the answer to a problem that kept returning. So I turned to functional medicine, and that's what finally broke the cycle.
Traditional medicine kept me alive.
Functional medicine saved my life.
Every one of these books is written on a single principle: sometimes traditional medicine doesn't have all the answers. I'm living proof of that. What actually brought me back wasn't a pamphlet or a platitude. It was the real, specific, hard-won work of healing, and that's what lives on every page.
Living Proof Publishing exists because that kind of knowledge, earned the hard way, deserves a home that treats it seriously. Not wellness fluff. Not a diagnosis handout. The real, specific, occasionally funny truth about what it takes to heal.
