Aika uskomattoman tuntuinen tarina. Ettei vain olisi jonkun
mustikoista elantonsa saavan runoilema:


September 6, 2008, I had a massive hemorrhagic stroke at age 60. My blood pressure was 200+/200+. A blood vessel very low in the left rear of my brain “exploded”. My amygdala were soaked in blood. I have no memory until 7 days later when I awoke with the entire right side of my body 100% paralyzed, and I could not speak with a variety of language impairments. Now, over 4 years later, with enormous gratitude, I have had and am still having an equally massive recovery. An essential component of that recovery has been intensely researched and engaged nutrition. An a key part of that nutrition has been and is BLUEBERRIES. I eat them daily with oatmeal and walnuts (another great health food), in salads, in a cup solo with a spoon, and in as many ways as I want! My blood pressure has steadily dropped (now typically a little under 120/70, and creeping lower. My energy has skyrocketed. I walk sometimes with a cane, and other times without. My speech is very slightly affected, though many people do not notice any problem. Cognitively, I am much more acute. On holidays or special occasions when, for example, a friend asks my girlfriend what to bring me — what does Billy like?, they often ask. She simply answers, “blueberries.

Mustikat ovat kyllä superruokaa, muttamutta, hänhän sanoo asian ihan itse:

"An essential component of that recovery has been intensely researched and engaged nutrition. An a key part of that nutrition has been and is BLUEBERRIES."

Myöntää itsekin siis että on tutkinut ravitsemusta ja muuttanut elämäntapojaan intenesiivisesti. Sanoo että OSA TÄTÄ ovat olleet ne mustikat. Kyseessä on siis kirjoittajan oma arvio siitä, että mustikat olivat se mikä vaikutti, vaikka muitakin elintapoja on muutettu.

Muttajoo, pyrin itse syömään nimenomaan mustikoita ja olen valmis maksamaan enemmän kotimaisista. Pensasmustikka voi olla kohtuullinen korvike silloin kun on halvempaa (ei usein edes ole), mutta niissä on huomattavasti vähemmän terveysvaikutteisia aineita.
