Six months ago after developing a rash and a fever which doctors initially thought was Dengue Fever, a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, I was rushed into hospital and after a week of being tested for over a hundred different viruses, I was diagnosed with a very rare auto immune illness (affecting just five in a million people) where my body is attacking it’s own muscles.
Since then I’ve either been lying in a hospital bed, barely able to raise my head from the pillow, or at home too weak from muscle loss and doped out on drugs to be able to let you know why I haven’t written a newsletter since early December.
Thanks to some powerful new medication, I’ve finally got the energy to write about it.

Phil, I just wanted you to know what a light and inspiration you’ve been to many of us out here, trying to make sense of how to make our business work in the online environment. Your newsletters have been so refreshing and honest –and helpful — that there simply has not been anyone else to replace them. We’ve missed you!!
That said, I wish you the very best support you can find, relief from your distress, and that you always know how much you are respected and loved.
I hope we will hear more from you, and that for all the days remaining in your life, you walk in peace.
You are always in my prayers.
Nancy
Just heard about your plight from Michael Campbell via his Newsletter. I am very sorry to hear of your illness, but I hope you continue to improve, and I extend my very best wishes from here in old England.
Hey Phil,
We met several times at closed door meetings back in the “adsense” days of 2004 and I’ve always respected your style and perspective on life and the business.
I would recommend “Ambrotose” to you as a natural way to address your body’s autoimmune issues- trust me, this stuff works. I have seen it work for many friends and family with similar diseases where the body is attacking itself accidentally- effectively a breakdown in cellular communication in the body.
No hype, no affiliate link, just trying to help a friend. Good luck!!
Hi Phil,
I also just heard about your situation from Michael Campbell’s newsletter.
I wish you well!

Hello Phil,
Just heard about your situation from Michael Campbell’s newsletter and just wants to say… “I do believe in God and do believe miracle do happen. You will be well soon in the name of our Mighty Father – Amen.
I, too do really enjoy your style of writing and looks forward to reading your newsletter. You’re one of the True Internet Marketting Legend that I can stand up and testify.
Remain Blessed,
Sam
Hi Phil
Please look into medicinal mushrooms e.g. reishi, maitake, cordyceps. Science has already shown they can rebalance the immune system. I would opt for formulas rather than single mushrooms. Try contacting Paul Stamets, a leading authority on medicinal mushrooms, for more info and advice: info@fungi.com
Get well soon miss the newsletter

Hi Phil,
Michael Campbell suggested I drop by your site in his most recent newsletter. He credits you with providing the inspiration to start his own newsletter and says you are a mentor of his.
I want to wish you the best and remind you to stay strong! You’ve obviously impacted a lot of people in a positive way with your work. Know that there are a lot of people out there routing for you, even people you’ve never met!
