Duration: 16:15
Laurie Jaffe and her husband Mike are the driving force behind a new documentary Journey to a Miracle: Freedom of Insulin. They were inspired to produce the film after their daughter Lilly, who was diagnosed with diabetes at one month old, was able to disconnect her insulin pump for good at age 6 after doctors discovered that she did not actually have type-1 diabetes.
In 2006, Mike attended a JDRF meeting where Dr. Louis Philipson of the University of Chicago Kovler Diabetes Center spoke of an upcoming study in the New England Journal of Medicine involving children diagnosed with diabetes as babies. Dr. Philipson explained that most of the children did not actually have type 1 diabetes, but rather a newly understood genetic form called monogenic that is best treated with oral medication, not insulin shots. The rest is history. The Jaffes made a forever friend in Dr. Philipson who became Lilly’s doctor and helped her transition from insulin to oral medication at the University of Chicago.
Moved by their family’s miracle and the potential of reaching thousands more, the Jaffes felt passionate about helping to raise global awareness of monogenic diabetes. They initiated monogenicdiabetes.org, an authoritative website now administered by the Kovler Diabetes Center. Laurie also began and moderated an on-line discussion/support group for parents whose children were also able to switch their treatment from insulin shots to oral medication. The close-knit group grew as parents contacted Laurie after hearing about their family’s story. The group eventually met in person in 2010 and 2013 at “Celebrating the Miracles” conferences hosted by the Kovler Diabetes Center to bring scientists and families together. Laurie is a founding Leadership Board member of the University of Chicago Kovler Diabetes Center.

When looking in the mirror I was getting deflated: my chin was
whittling away, upper lips seemed to be thinning out, I was getting this
sad face (corners of mouth turned downward) how was that happening when
I was happy? My cheeks seemed flat. Lastly that darn underneath chin
whatever needed tightening, I was convinced. I began using the flexaway
system in March 2013 in the middle of a blizzard.
I had been surfing the web and noticed that www.flexawaysystem.com had
this facial exerciser device. I thought why not try it since I work out
and lift weights and know how that has improved my body after three
kids. I had also done Pilates to strengthen core muscles in the past. I
have experienced first hand the benefits of exercise and how it brings
back our shape. So, I thought, why not try a product that brings back
the shape of my face? What did I have to lose? My double chin?
The product was tricky to use at first, and I had to watch the
video and work in front of the mirror until I was comfortable.  It took
about a week. It took me a while to learn how to change the tension
bands. Now I use it everyday after I brush my teeth or before I go to
bed. I don't use it on vacations...
I loved the Flexaway System® so much, my friends were asking me
what face creams did I use? They asked me for my beauty regimen. Well,
it must be working, I thought. In the Spring, I decided to become a
distributor for Flexaway and called up Beverly Hanna, the inventor of
Flexaway. She told me she lived in Michigan. I said I live in Michigan.
We got together for lunch, she said she wanted to retire. The rest is
history...
As President of www.Flexawaysystem.com,
I urge you to try it so you can feel and see the benefits. We welcome
you to send before and after photos and please share your experiences
with us via email or on our Facebook page.
We are so confident in the Flexaway System that we offer a
customer satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like the Flexaway System
simply return it within six-weeks for a money back guarantee. If you
have any questions about our products, please contact us. Our staff and I
are here to help.

Believing he discovered his specialty – burn repair surgery – he developed his gift while enjoying the intricacy and strenuous pace intensive care trauma presented. However, a rare invitation to perform a cleft lip operation and complex hand surgery from the Chief of the Burn Unit, a plastic surgeon, would introduce him to a new career in the innovative field of reconstructive plastic surgery.
Dr. Hunstad began his practice and watched it evolve rapidly as he welcomed more cosmetic plastic surgery patients. His determination, concern for patients and pursuit of excellence shaped him into an exceptional surgeon. It was his passion for finding solutions to challenging surgeries that led him to develop and publish several procedures while practicing. He began to lecture and demonstrate his new techniques to national audiences. In 1993, while presenting on the topic of Body Contouring after Massive Weight Loss, he was approached by the President of the Belgium Society of Surgery to be the key note speaker which was his first invitation as an international lecturer.
