Feel Better as You Get Older

Story:

You can feel better as you get older! Forget the mindset that we can't. Ten years ago, I was exhausted all the time, dizzy sometimes, shaky, achy, a bit depressed, experiencing brain fog and digestive issues...quite a laundry list. A stranger directed me to an alternative medicine MD and the healing began. I made major dietary changes, began taking quality supplements, did a bit of homeopathy and acupuncture; read lots of books, changed my thinking, eliminating a lot of the negative thoughts over 3 years or so. And I did feel lots better, but it was not until I got the mercury out of my teeth that the healing became exponential. Then I added yoga and medition to my life; exercise had always been nearly a daily routine. So I can say at 55+, that creating wellness is lifelong; there is no 1 magic potion, but when you put it all together, chronic conditions cease to exist! And you can feel fabulous! PS... Over the past year I avoided surgery for an umbilical hernia with chi nei tsang and homeopathy, combined with a determination to avoid surgery.
