This is a synopsis of the Bill Quateman Pancreatitis episode on “I Beat the Odds” on the Zliving Channel.

Bill Quateman’s grandfather and father died at 54 from heart disease. Therefore Bill took fairly good care of himself. He ate vegetables, exercises, drink a lot of water, and get his rest.

When he was 55 years old, he felt a lot of pain in his abdomen. He started taking Advil for several weeks. Finally he went to his doctor who gave him and antacid.

After searching for a holistic doctor, Bill found Dr. Rex Wilson. Dr. Watson tested Bill with a Biofeedback test.

For 3 months, Bill followed Dr. Wilson’s program. Then he went to get a CAT scan. His gastroenterologist said that the CAT scan was clear and that he didn’t know what Bill had, but was blessed.
