Selfless Son Saves Father's Life In Act Of Bravery And Love
4 years ago, Elijah’s biggest wish was to save his father from kidney failure.
The only way to do so was a kidney transplant.
Elijah and his siblings all wanted to donate their kidney. But it was the eldest son, Elijah, who turned out to be the perfect match for the procedure.
But there was a problem
Elijah was 5’3” and 90 lbs, too light to be a donor. His mother told him that if he wanted to donate his kidney to his father, he needed to be at least 124 lbs.
Despite the family not being well-off, Elijah was given the most nutritious food they could afford. He consumed five meals a day and his siblings would often give their portions to him.
“It was fun in the beginning, but sometimes I felt so full.”
“I could barely swallow all the food.” – Elijah
Not only was the rapid weight gain uncomfortable, he was teased at school for his appearance.
“But it’s no bother at all, he’s my dad.”
“Dad is always the hero in our family. It’s my turn now.” – Elijah
He granted his dad the best birthday gift ever
Within three months, Elijah met the requirements to donate his kidney at 135 lbs. The procedure was scheduled two months later, on his father’s birthday, which went well.
Elijah, meanwhile, was out of hospital and on a diet. He hopes to get back to about 110 lbs, in time for his first day of college.
That didn’t happen
Elijah was so used to overeating that it became a habit.
His college days were spent eating his stress away, gorging on affordable and convenient foods like burgers, fries, pizzas, ice creams, and sodas.
Now, as graduation neared, 22-year-old Elijah is 5’7” and 265 lbs. To provide for his family, he knew he had to secure a job quickly.
On the way to one of his interviews, he had to climb up the stairs. All he could hear was his heart pumping and labored breathing. The next thing he knew, he had woken up on a hospital bed.
His doctor told him that he had blacked out on the stairs and showed early symptoms of kidney failure due to very high blood pressure.
“The doctor told me that if I kept it up, I’d end up like my dad.”
“And with only one kidney left after donation, it was life or death.”
“That’s when I realized, for the sake of my family, I needed to do something about it.” – Elijah
So, he went on a strict diet and exercise regime.
But everything failed miserably
His parents offered to get him a private nutritionist and fitness coach, but he declined.
He didn’t want his parents to spend more money after his father’s transplant. Elijah knew they didn’t have much left and was against spending more than necessary, especially on himself as it only adds to the family’s financial burdens.
“So, I tried everything that didn’t cost anything – different diets, at-home workouts…”
“But nothing worked.” – Elijah
The rapid weight gain for the transplant and his habitual binging had caused Elijah’s body to go in to ‘shock’. His body’s ability to digest food slowed down. This made it difficult to shed the pounds.
His parents were heartbroken
They knew that he was trying to limit his expenses and that he was teased for his weight in school. They were afraid that if this continued, his usual cheerful self would be affected.
“My son gave me the hope to live on my birthday.”
“I thank my son for everything he has done for me.”
“It is now my turn to protect him, to help him.” – Elijah’s father
With desperation, Elijah’s parents went to plead for help from their family doctor. Seeing their distress, their family doctor introduced them to a colleague, Prof. Dr. Takeshi Shinsato.
Dr. Takeshi was a renowned Japanese endocrinologist specializing in obesity treatments and was in town for an annual medical conference. He agreed to drop by and meet the family.
Upon hearing Elijah’s story, Dr. Takeshi was moved by Elijah’s courage and filial piety and decided to let him in on his recent medical breakthrough.
Elijah was introduced to Hiketsu™: An effective, all-natural formula that packs a punch, especially in stubborn problem areas
Dr. Takeshi took out a packet and showed it to the family.
“This is Hiketsu™, an ongoing experiment created by my team and I for 5 years now.”
“It is infused with 100% natural herbs which will help to speed up your metabolism, burn more fat, and suppress appetite.” – Dr. Takeshi
Dr. Takeshi explained that when Hiketsu™ is applied onto the skin, its natural herb extracts will be released into the skin through a transdermal process.
The natural fat-burning particles from the herbs will penetrate the underlying fat cells in a sustained fashion. This will breakdown the fat cells and boost metabolic activity, effectively cleansing our body from toxins and curbing further dietary fat absorption.
Other key ingredients include guarana and capsaicin which helps to reduce cellulite and restore skin elasticity.
The family was hopeful
Japan was known to have one of the lowest obesity rates in the world.
“If anyone could help, it would definitely be Dr. Takeshi.” – Elijah’s father
They decided to let Elijah try it out. Much to the family’s relief, the pounds started to shed.
Within a week, he dropped around 9 lbs and in just a month, almost 41 lbs were lost. Before 3 months passed, he successfully lost a total of 133 lbs!
Elijah is finally rewarded for his superhero deeds
Elijah was bursting with more energy and spirit than before. He could walk and run without pain in his leg and back caused by extra pounds. His mind was sharper and more focused.
He even landed the job of his dreams, lifting his family out of poverty.
“No act of kindness, however small, goes unrewarded.”
“I knew my son would be saved, just like how he saved me.”
“It’s all made possible thanks to Hiketsu™.” – Elijah’s father
Elijah’s story of selflessness, courage and composure when it comes to matters of life and death has touched the hearts of millions around the world, including those at Hiketsu™.
This is why Hiketsu™ is offering a special 50% discount to help raise awareness for kidney disease and organ donor programs.
