Learning Is One of Life's
Greatest Joys

I was a sickly child. Within a few short weeks of my birth, I had health challenges: eczema, allergies, strep throat, otitis media, tonsillitis, conjunctivitis — you name it. As a teen, I developed chronic gastrointestinal pain, gut dysbiosis and antibiotic dependency. I fell prey to chronic fatigue and asthma. My allergies, food intolerances, headaches and chemical sensitivities weren’t merely an inconvenience; they disrupted every aspect of my existence for decades.

So, when I say I’ve been where you are, it’s true. Maybe even worse. I understand pain, anxiety and suffering.

My mother searched for answers to my health challenges to no avail. As I became older, I joined her in the search. But unfortunately, whatever the physicians, naturopaths, clinical ecologists, and functional M.D.s gave me made me even sicker. Antibiotics, steroids, hormones, analgesics and inhalers. I was going downhill faster with the drugs than without them. I hardly recognized myself. I gained weight, had dark circles under my eyes, and was fatigued, depressed, worn out and almost hopeless.

I learned about herbs, vitamins and essential oils. I bought books — lots of them — and studied. I even tried vegetarianism. However, my health only improved slightly.

Then, I discovered homeopathy.
