• Health Conditions that may be helped by alternative medicine
• Herbs
• Homeopathy
• Nutrition
• Essential Oils

Please feel free to post your questions in the comments below and I will keep a log of all the questions asked and will answer each of them individually in either a blog post or in a youtube video.  Many clients come to me asking, "what can I do for _________ {insert health concern}." 

There is a plethora of information available on the internet, clients do not come to me because they have a lack of information.  They come to me because there is too much information. Every website on nutrition or alternative medicine offers a laundry list of potential herbs, homeopathic remedies, various nutrition advice and other information about their condition.  If you were to take every remedy recommended it would cost a small fortune!  If you followed the nutrition advice on every website, you'd be left with only water to drink!

Are you struggling to find answers sifting through the sea of alternative health information on the internet?

If you are tired of all the misinformation, confusion and excess of information you have come to the right place.  Through nearly a decade of experience as well as regular study of peer reviewed journals I have come to realize that all, and I mean all, scientific research that meets certain criteria:

• Has not been funded by special interest groups
• Researchers who do not have a conflict of interest
• Properly conducted studies on herbs, homeopathy etc...

All the research luckily points in one direction, there isn't any confusion about nutrition!  The confusion comes from individuals promoting certain diets for financial benefit or even out of personal preference that distort the data or use studies that were funded by special interest groups.

Research on herbs is also a bit tricky, most research is conducted by researchers who are experts in Medical Research and have little to no knowledge about herbs.  They use doses that are too small to do much of anything, they expect herbs to work like a drug, they expect herbs to work as quickly as drugs and in the process determine that herbs are ineffective!

Due to many circumstances companies are unable to obtain FDA approval for herbs and the medical community wants it to stay that way.  There are many possible herbal remedies for any given health issue.  The real art is in knowing which one of those is right for the individual.   I will write an entire blog post on this in the future but it is important to know and understand that herbs do not work like drugs and it does take some intuitive knowledge to know which one is right for which individual.

I would like to help you sift through all the information and come to a place where you can evaluate information presented on the internet and find the right course of action to assist you with any health condition you may face.

Please feel free to ask your most pressing questions by posting in the comments below and I will certainly provide a thorough answer with scientific documentation when available.
