    Yes years ago it was just Richie and a handful of us patients doing the BB etc. He was so kind to offer help to many many patients. So sorry to hear this. I don’t post much any more but am glad I saw this so I know. Hugs to family!

    Richie, you kept it real and didn’t suffer fools gladly. This forum won’t be the same without you x

    I was so saddened to hear about Richie’s passing. I feel like he saved my life in many ways. When I contacted RBF I was 25 years old and had been diagnosed with lupus and was in a huge flare. I felt like there was no hope! Richie encouraged me and introduced me to the antibiotic protocol that changed my life. I will forever be grateful for his encouragement and support! Rest in Peace my friend!

    Richie helped me believe that I could make it through this and get better. That was 13 years ago and I am better! He was a realist cheerleader.
    I hope his family is aware of his importance and his contributions to our community. Thank you for sharing him. May his memory be a blessing!

    I come to this site from time to time, to check into something. I came across this posting about Richie, I’m so sad to hear about Richie. He was a kind and wise man giving helpful information. I will miss seeing his messages and his face as George Clooney. RIP and may God comfort his loved ones.

    Thanks to Richie, I only occasionally visit the RBF site. His story and encouragement were what I needed to convince me that AP works, and have helped me stay alive for 11 years. My personal message folder and my personal email still have many personal messages with Richie. We shared many things with SD, particularly being a male. He always gave me timely advice when I needed it, and I knew I could rely on it as correct.

    Even in his death, attributed to cancer – NOT SD, he is still assuring us that AP works and you can beat SD.

    We will all miss Richie.

    I am not on here too often now, but there was a time when I was on here every day reading and going through forum posts on the old site before it was switched over, and Ritchie was a constant on the forum, a wealth of information to all, I am going to miss seeing his posts, and his knowledge of this protocol.I had many questions in the beginning and he was always quick to respond to my questions. He will be missed immensely. Condolenses to Family ❤️

    Oh, no! I can’t tell you how many times Riche helped me navigate my course on the Roadback. I so valued his comments and he was always available to answer any question I might have. What a great loss for all of us! I will be forever grateful for his help. RIP
