Ex-police chief defies condition as he fashions new life
 
In 1996, Nakamura announced he had a "chronic, progressive neuromuscular condition."
The Doctors aren't sure what to call his disease, Nakamura said. It appears to be a cousin of muscular dystrophy rather than the muscles.
Nakamura takes $600 worth of drugs each month - paid for by health insurance - to slow the deterioration. Twice a week, Dr.Kwang Chai of the Chai Health Center also treats him with shiatsu massage to make his body more relaxed, herbal medicine to strengthen his organs, acupuncture to stimulate nerves and cupping to increase circulation.
In the year since Nakamura was referred to the center, Dr.Chai has never charged him.
"As the police chidf, he gave us a great community service," said Joon Chai, interpreting for his father. "We want to give him a community service in return."
"People call me courageous. "I'm not courageous," Nakamura said.
He does worry that he might have passed the disease on to his sons Reid, a Maui police officer on Molokai, or to Keola, a senior at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
So far they haven't shown any symptoms.
"A lot of people see me struggling to get up and think I'm in pain," he said. "I'm not in pain. I don't want people to think I'm suffering."
