She reported that prior to his treatments she was unable to walk and more or less completely dependent. When I met her she was walking and able to go out to dinner with us in Coral Gables!! Dr. Haast was more enlightened about the benefits of venom..years before his time. He was shafted by the FDA. I also met him and was able to get over my fear of snakes by holding an Indigo Racer. It was so silky and gentle. I sure wish Dr. Haast was still able to help because I am loaded with Degenerative Joint Disease and and live in a great deal of pain.

Hopefully I can bring my children in a few years. 31 years ago on a family vacation, my parents took us to the Miami Serpentarium and we still talk about it today.

I remember once Bill Haast was handling a King Cobra in the courtyard with the audience surrounding him. That was one of my most memorable trips.
