My Lensography of Health Topics

To keep my main lensography neat and tidy, I've moved all of my health-specific lenses to here. This should make it much easier to find the health topics that you're interested in without wading through all of the other stuff.

Homeopathy 

I am a graduate of the The Homeopathy School of Colorado and hold the designation of CHom (Classical Homeopath). While at the school, I had the privelege of training under world renowned homeopaths Alastair Gray, DSH, PCH, Judith Reichenberg-Ullman, ND, DHANP, MSW and Robert Ullman, ND, DHANP, and Kim Elia. I also participated as a supervisor in the published proving of Aquilegia vulgaris - the common Columbine.
I have been providing online consultations for 2 years in addition to my regular in-office practice.

I've used Flower Essence Remedies personally and with my children, my pets, and other family members for the past 8 years and with my homeopathic clients for 4 years. I have been heavily influenced and inspired by Ian Watson's work using flower essences in tandem with homeopathy

I have received training in Flower Essence Therapy, Western Herbal Medicine, Reflexology, Health Counseling, Holistic Counseling, Nutritional Counseling, Reiki and Crystal Healing, and Eastern Meditation for health issues.

My philosophy is to offer the BEST care available to each client in a complementary way. I believe that everyone should be educated about all available options regarding their health and well-being and to have access to the best of all systems, whether they be traditional or modern, allopathic or holistic. Integrative medicine benefits everyone.

Living With Allergies 

For several years, my husband was very, very ill - apnea, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic sinusitis. Four years ago, on the recommendation of our family doctor he went in for allergy testing and found out he was sensitive to many things. As soon as he completely removed all of those things from his diet it was like a miracle. His snoring and apnea (a LONG term issue) was GONE within a week, within a couple of months his arthritis was gone, and rarely does he ever get a sinus infection now and when he does, they are minor.

SO, I saw this all with such awe that I went in and had myself tested. At the time I was concerned that I had fibromyalgia. I was told I had allergies to potatoes (ingesting them, even cooked), eggs (duh, knew that already), pork, fish and shellfish (I had no idea, and I loved pork). So yeah, I don't have the fibromyaligia stuff anymore.

My egg allergy started gradually - first raw cookie dough made my mouth itchy, then anything with egg white made me itch, followed by the yolk, followed by full-on anaphylaxis from any consumption - it started about 6 or 7 years ago. The whole thing developed over a period of about 2 years.
