natural foods that have not been processed and have as little sugar and
chemicals as possible. Don't have foods with preservatives and MSG
(monosodiumglutonate - not Madison Square Garden). Drink plenty of water to
flush the system. Eat plenty of raw garlic because it kills overgrowths of
bacteria caused by an over sugary diet.When you don't have the sugar at
first, you'll get tired and depressed. But keep going.Also, eating junk
foods over and over again DOES detrimentally effect your liver. Your liver needs
diversity, not processing the same substance over and over again. And if you
stay off the substances you have exposure allergies to, for, say, 6 months, you
can lose your sensitivity to them and eventually return to eating
them.Kent, ask your doctor for allergy tests. Keep going with your diet
and exercise because in the end it is worth it.By the way, passing out
in front of the television may have been the result of obesity. Your snoozing in
front of the tv, perhaps with sleep apnea. You get less and less oxygen and then
you pass out or wake up startled.Sorry for getting off the boxing
subject.Massimo, good to hear from you.|

years of posting here this are my final words...............Jerry Quarry was one
hell of a fighter. Amen|

retired several times and kept coming back. Sugar Ray Leondard kept saying
"this is it for me" but kept coming back. I predict, and I hope I'm right, that
"Fan from Fandom" will break his retirement vow and have a comeback at this
site.But your "final" post will be tough to top because it really sums it
up, doesn't it? I'd love a T-Shirt with an action shot of JQ and the simple
words:Jerry Quarry: Fighter.|

Atascadero California at the same time Jerry was. Infact I lived four houses
down the street from him and would accompany him on his walks to the corner gas
station to get a 6 pack of Cokes. It was an honor to talk with him yet sad that
not many people actually knew who he was when we were in public. He was living
with his sister on El Camino Real at the time. I was fortunate enough to get
some candid shots of Jerry as well as autographs. I know him from 1994 up to to
the time of his death. He was very sharp mentally right up to the last year or
so of his life. I would occasionally take himm to Bruger King and he would tell
me about his various fights. At that time he hasd a very good memory and was in
better than average physical condition as well. I really miss him. |

interesting observations you make. I know that at the end, his cognitive
ability was impaired terribly. But it's peculiar that physically, I thought he
looked good and strong for his age. That CBS news report on him showed how
badly he deteriorated mentally---he couldn't get the words out---but he was
joking around with Ed Bradley and still had a boxing pose and could throw a mock
flurry of punches. I wonder at what point could he have retired and not
suffered so much damage. What fight or fights were the turning point when the
brain damage was too much?The Quarry family has had so many losses in such a
short amount of time---yet based on their interaction with fans here, including
that of Jonathan Quarry, Sabrina, etc., we see that the family foundation was
and is solid. These seem to be really good people. |

the superbowl. Two years ago I was at a boxing card the night before the
superbowl and Michael "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" Buffer happened to be the MC
at the event.I was waiting to pick up my car at the valet parking and
Buffer was waiting for his car too. I struck up a casual conversation
with him but when I said, "tommorow is Let's Get Ready to Fumble," a silly joke
about the superbowl and Buffer's signature saying, he gave me a funny look like
I had said something really stupid, he didn't think what I said was funny in the
