i read a while back that he has been living with a tumor on his pituitary gland for many years. his high energy and ability to function full blast for twenty hour a day is due to the extra adrenalin supplied by his modified brain. hard to mimic but he has some concepts worth considering.

What-A-Coincidence -- Loved your comment of having read the book at Bethel, on their time.
Has anybody met Tony and spoke to him about his belief systems, or about his mentor Jim Rohn?

In 1994, a routine medical check revealed a tumor in Robbins' pituitary gland. According to his recounting in Personal Power the tumor was actually an adenoma that had infarcated several years prior. Due to the pressure of the adenoma on his pituitary gland, he had circulating levels of growth hormone several times higher than what would be normal for an adult his age. This had resulted in a subclinical manifestation of the disease known as acromegaly, which doctors told Robbins was responsible for his remarkable growth spurts as a teenager, as well as his large hands and feet (He is almost 2 meters in height, or 6 feet 7 inches). After consultation with a number of different physicians, Tony eventually decided not to have the adenoma resected, as it was not causing any clinical manifestations, such as organomegaly or heart valve defects.
