My Walk with God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit: Dystonia a blessing from God

By Brian Towles

I am a person with Dystonia a rare muscle disorder that knocked me down a lot but never knocked me out. I am a story teller, but when stories are told as truth it is a lie. This book is my redemption, also an apology to thousands of people I hope will find it in their heart to forgive me. I wrote this as an autobiography that will continue Lord willing for the next hundred years of my life.

Introduction

Dear Readers, I am Brian Keith Towles, and this is my story. I do not have Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, or Multiple Sclerosis, but I do have Early Onset Dystonia Muscular Deformity. The Dystonia Foundation defines it as a condition associated with the DYT1 gene.

In 1997, researchers identified the DYT1 gene responsible for Early Onset Dystonia. The DYT1 gene codes for a previously unknown protein named torsion, which has significant similarities to the heat-shock and chaperone proteins. Found in virtually all living organisms. The heat shock proteins help cells recover from stresses, including heat, traumatic injury, and chemical poisoning. Until now, no human disease has ever been associated with these proteins. In people with early-onset Dystonia, the DYT1 gene has a mutation that causes the deletion of three letters or bases, specifically a G.A.G. deletion in the genetic code. This G.A.G. deletion results in the loss of amino acid, called gluten acid, a component of the torsion protein. This relatively small change in the torsion blueprint causes critical differences in the function of the protein. The role of the torsion protein is currently unknown. Still, somehow this defective protein disrupts communication among the neurons responsible for movement and muscle control, leading to the Dystonia disorder’s symptoms. Researchers believe that the same mutation in the DYT1 gene appeared independently in several ethnic populations throughout history and is possibly one of only a few modifications that result in early-onset Dystonia. Exactly how the abnormal gene causes the Dystonia is presently unknown.

Most neurologists know less than you know about it if you do not understand what I wrote above. The ethnic population paraphrased above was referring to the Jewish people. In 1911, the first cases of Dystonia were found in a few children with the DYT1 gene. When the Jewish people were persecuted during World War II, the Jews intermarried with the German people to avoid death. My family is on my Mom’s side; her heritage is Irish, Dutch, and German on my Dad’s side; his heritage was Irish, Dutch, German, and Welch. My family has never found Jews in our bloodline. Still, it is likely hidden due to Hitler’s plans to erase the Jewish people from the earth. I hope some of my German ancestors were merciful toward the Jewish people, making my suffering with Dystonia worthwhile. My siblings only received one defective gene from either parent. I received the defective gene from both parents, which makes me blessed with Dystonia because of my strong faith in God, and He made me, and I will overcome in Christ.

God loves all. I will continue to write about my walk with God until He takes me home to be with Him. I hope my challenges help you through your issues. To my family, helpers, and friends, everything in this book is the truth. I told many stories during my life, but I am tired of telling lies. God is my witness. If I lie in this book, God can send my soul to Hell. The types of stories/lies I told a big lie that I hacked a bank, and ninety percent of my police stories were lies.

God bless you,

Brian

Chapter One

Birth Until My Family Had To Deal with A Mystery

In 1970, before ultrasounds were available to check the gender of a fetus, My Family checked the gender the old-fashioned way. My Mom’s pregnancy was similar to my sister’s, so it was a massive surprise to us when My Dad telephoned home to announce that I was a boy! My Esther, age eleven, exclaimed, take it back! We have enough boys around here. She had a new job as my second Mom, which involved taking care of all my needs. My Tim, age seven, grumbled another Brat! He did not want me to invade his territory, and my nickname was born, which is Brat! My Mom gave me the name Brian Keith because he was her favorite actor. Most important, My Mom brought me home from the hospital with a clean bill of health-normal pregnancy and standard delivery. I began my life on January 14, 1971. However, unknown to everyone, I was a genetic time bomb just waiting to rock our world with laughter, sadness, and challenges.

I was an active child who loved to play, jump around, and laugh. I also became Ben Cartwright for six months of my very young life (Ben Cartwright was a cowboy on a television show, Bonanza). Mrs. Dean was my Sunday School Teacher at Hiawatha Beach Church; I asked My Mom if she was the mother of Ben Cartwright. They had a good giggle over it. My Esther and My Tim went to Cedar Point, and they bought a cowboy hat with the name Ben on it.

I loved to talk with anyone, and some people attempted to control my motor mouth. I became an uncle twice before I turned two years old. I did not know. My Rick was even my Brother until I was five years old because he was away from home in the military. My Robert took me with him everywhere;
