First, welcome to our website and we hope you find it informative. Second, if you have any health issues, we hope that you realize that you have more choices than you realize regarding how you handle these issues. There is a lot of snake oil out there, misrepresented supplements, herbs, modalities, practitioners and practices, but just because the FDA or your doctor doesn't approve of a particular alternative health care approach, this doesn't mean that it may not be appropriate for your issue. Third, there are two axioms that, at this stage of our lives, we have found to be true:
A.) Never let fear hold you back.
B.) The only thing you can control is how you react to situations that come up in your life.
Fear will stop every good thing that life has to offer you, including good health, from showing up in your life. Real or imagined, fear will cloud your judgement causing you to make bad decisions. Fear will allow you to be talked into health care choices that you know in your heart are wrong.
Control issues will often cause us to bury our heads in the sand and not make any good choices. I have had clients with life-threatning health issues who would do nothing about them, simply giving up. Others had the thought that medical science would come up with a miracle cure for them so they were going to wait. One client I had found a lump in her breast, benign after testing. She decided to have both breasts removed so she would never have to worry about a lump showing up again. Many people find that their health issues allow them to control their lives and the lives of others. They wear their illness like a badge because of all the attention it brings them. They don't have to be an active participant in life because of "poor health". This is not to say that many illnesses can restrict aspects of your life but unless you have left no stone unturned, can you honestly say that you are doing everything you can to improve the quality of your health, and by default, the quality of your life?
About 25 years ago I (David) had put on a lot of weight, I topped out over 300 pounds. At the time I also was on 14 prescription meds, living at my doctors office. I had digestive issues, anxiety attacks, blood pressure issues, joint pain, headaches, depression and manic-depressive issues. I had an ah-ha day and decided that there had to be a better way. That day I started walking every night, only a couple of blocks for a while but I kept it up 7 days a week. I changed my diet and changed my attitude. I found an herbalist that put me on an extensive herbal / supplement program. After a year I had lost 167 pounds and was off of my prescription meds. It was one of the hardest years of my life but I was not the same person after all that work. For the most part I did all the work by myself. I started reading everything I could get my hands that had to do with alternative health methods. I had a couple of car accidents which led me to chiropractic care. I found a massage therapist. My greatest blessing was finding my colon therapist, Linda, who I married (she claims I did not want to pay for the colonics anymore!).
The important aspect of this process was that I did not stop my pursuit to improve my health and if I could find a puzzle piece via alternative health practices, I went for it. This is the challenge I offer you. I do not have all the answers, I / we do not have any magic bullets and we do not offer any "cures". What we do offer is an honest, realistic and affordable approach using professional-grade Traditional Chinese herbal programs, gravity flow colonics and TCM Protocols to locate the root cause of your health challenges and an array of healing modalities for every health challenge that is presented to us.

Be well!
