When I met Jac, I have had Vertigo for 9 months and was going through life day to day feeling lost and alone.  Jac was very concerned not only of my health but of every other person’s health in the room.  When I finished his Buteyko course, he said that if we ever needed help, all we have to do is email him and within a day, he would contact us.  I then asked him, “Jac, how would you remember us?  You’ve had so many students already.” He answered me, “Believe me Paul, I will remember you.”  Although he never assured me that his class was going to cure me, I did get well by using the Himalayan salt he gave us in another way.  This method also cures acidic stomach, stomach bloating and diarrhea as well.  As Jac always said, “The Library of Health and Healing has many books.  We need to open our minds so that we can choose the books that will heal us.”

After 2 years, I decided to attend Jac’s classes again because I wanted to remember the timing his breathing technique.  This helps a person in cough, cold, insomnia, losing weight and other health problems.  I wanted to hear Jac’s voice in my head telling me how to breathe towards better health. Like a friendly mentor he accepted me back free of charge like he said he would in our first class but it seemed I was the only one who took this offer.  He would show me off to his other students who were still struggling with their breathing but who had already lost weight in just 2 weeks.

Years later, I ran out of Himalayan salt and not only did he source me some from his own supply, he also taught me some exercises for my back.  At that time, he joined this group in the internet where they would share pictures of clouds they had taken.  He had this huge Apple Monitor that had such great color and clarity.  Just like Jac.

Many more years later, my friend who teaches in a polluted area had a cough for 3 months.  His cough was so bad that it sounded like he was going to die!  I asked Jac to see him and his wife personally since he did not like online classes.  Jac agreed that they see him at his place and that made me proud of Jac to go out of his way, going the extra mile just to help my friend whom I wanted to save. 

Who would have known that Jac would be gone too soon?  “Hey Jac!  I talked about you and your breathing technique almost every day to people I meet since we all breathe each day!  Who is going to be our mentor now?”

 It saddens my heart to know that he would not be around anymore.  Even just to answer my email.  I miss you my dear friend.  I was proud to be your friend.
