"Mary Anne tells the story of her grandmother, Jane. Jane is a young ninety-seven-year-old mother of four who adores her seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She’s a retired kindergarten teacher, book reviewer, floral designer, and homemaker who’s been active in her church her entire life. Jane, who lives at home with her son, likes to paint with watercolors, cook, play bridge, and watch sports on TV.
In 2003, Jane (better known as GG for “great-grandmother”) was hit hard by congestive heart failure. She was so short of breath and so weak that she could barely get out of bed, let alone walk about. It was impossible for her to move from a car to her apartment without stopping to catch her breath. Jane was finally hospitalized in intensive care and placed on respiratory support. She had thought she had finally reached the end of a good, long life. Although she continued to fight and was ultimately discharged from the hospital, she needed supplemental oxygen at home. She remained weak and exhausted for months following her discharge.
Jane’s granddaughter MJ, a nurse, had heard about D-ribose and decided that her grandmother give it a try, so she advised Jane to take it twice daily with her meals. Jane’s doctor approved, feeling it could do no harm. Within a few short days after starting the new regimen, Jane’s shortness of breath was gone and she was off the supplemental oxygen. After only a couple of weeks her energy level increased dramatically. She was back on the golf course, and the symptoms of her congestive heart failure were no longer imposing on her quality of life. Eight months later, Jane reported that she had no shortness of breath at all, and that she felt 'better than I have in years.'"
