Acupuncture has been part of my life since my first treatment in Taipei in early '60s

when we were stationed there.

It is amazing what it can do. . .

My naturopath of many years practices traditional and

alternative medicine.

HE is the one who kept digging until he found what turned out to be a brain tumor

The medical community?

They wrote me off as female hysteria (due to bizarre symptoms I

was presenting)

When they sneer, as some do, at fact I see him out of the VA system, I reply

"Just to be clear, HE is the one who kept digging until he found what turned out to be a brain tumor, YOU didn't care enough. IN FACT,

had I stayed with YOU,

I would be dead now or in a care facility having had a major stroke and blind"

When they blew me off in '03 Chris sent me to OHSU for evaluation.

They looked at his documentation and immediately began more testing

which led to brain surgery

THAT and what was rolled out in '20, which was cheered on by 'doctors' is why I have so little respect for 'doctors'

Chris is also the one who outlined an alternative protocol for me to follow in early '20

(had already been networking with other reputable healthcare providers prior to '20)

Your naturopath is wonderful! I also have one that I see every 2-3 years who practices traditional and, what I call, complementary medicine. Otherwise my husband treats me. Acupuncture was in my life for 20 years before I met my husband. My RN buddies called me Euell Gibbons for years, I'm proud to say. 😁

I have little respect for allopathic medicine since Covid but have always tried to assist my patients in ways other than allopathic treatments. Got me in hot water a time or two.
