Every full moon, pain and weakness increase and I feel just awful. Parasites are active during this phase - moving through the body and into the gut. We are going to start a protocol to try and reduce or eliminate parasites. My daughter is extremely sensitive so she is on reduced dosages over 52 days…
Tools for Healthy Living
I've been seeing a lot of articles and videos about getting well lately that are pretty linear in thought. Do THIS and you'll get well! To be honest, these rub me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong - the tools they are proposing are good tools, they're just not necessarily the cure all they…
Ayurveda – Pancha Karma
Yesterday, I started a new to me therapy called Pancha Karma. If it sounds like I'm speaking a foreign language, I am. Ayurveda is the traditional medicine practice in India.

Ozone Therapy

The therapy itself was pretty easy. An IV line is inserted & connected to a small saline bagBlood is drawn into…
Tai Chi Chuan
I have a really hard time with exertion of any kind. Simply walking down the hall is enough to send my body into a tailspin, so actual exercise can really take a toll on me. I've started implementing a basic Tai Chi program though and I'm finding I can do some of the simple, slow…

NUCCA – not your mama’s chiropractic
I've been seeing a chiropractic specialist for about 5 years. NUCCA doctors specialize and only adjust the atlas (the first vertebrae at the top of the neck).
