Welcome to My New Blog!

Welcome to my new blog: the future home of holistic health and wellness tips and advice. Since I am definitely not an expert, this will be a journey for both you and I. My plan is to not only research different topics, but even try them on myself to see the results. There are a lot of health problems in the world today that are not recognized (or fully treatable) by modern medicine (ie. fibromyalgia, PMS, etc). Frequently only the symptoms and not the underlying problem are treated (pain medication, etc) which can actually worsen the condition in the long run.

With as technologically advanced as we have become, I am always shocked to see doctors turn away patients or misdiagnose them when the patient is clearly suffering. It also bugs me that modern cancer prevention entails getting mammograms or other scans which is not prevention - it is screening for what might already be there! If cancer shows up on an x-ray, how has that prevented it from happening in the first place? It hasn't! If there is pain or illness, there is always a solution! I refuse to sit and suffer through health problems like a lot of people do, accepting that it's just "bad genes" or "bad luck." With an open mind, some research, and a little work, you (and I) can overcome health problems and feel calm and well!!
