    • About Me

      I went from 192lbs on April 25th to 160lbs on Aug 5th. I have maintained that level for 3 and1/2 months and counting. Going out to Golden Coral for dinner doesn't show up on the scale. There is a weight loss program that actually works. And the life change is easy because I don't crave junk food anymore.

      Helping people, both in my work and by sharing info, by doing things that other people don't.. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

    • Close Glaucoma

      In Jan '07, I was reffered by an eye specialist (because of loss of periferral vision)to an eye Dr that could test for glaucoma.  My pressures were 20L and 24R.  I could not face the thought of eye drops for life due the the expense, ($20,000 with no insurance) and all the usual phobias.  Four months later, the same Dr tested me and my pressures were 14 & 14.  My periferral vision is back to normal and the light sensitivity is gone.  I have never used the eye drops.

    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have been overweight since third grade. I have lost 25 pounds this year. Unfortuately I found all again. I have probably lost 400 pounds in my lifetime and the best thing I can say about dieting is that I am 20lbs below my highest weight of 215 lbs. Currently I am only trying to eat better foods and smaller portions. After 2 rounds of "The Weight Loss Cure" my weight is finally under control. It only took me 45 years.

    • Open Lupus

      My neighbor has lupus and is not doing well on new medications.

    • Open Asthma

      My mother has asthma late in life. My sister-in-law died from it when her doctor gave her Darvon. Her daughter and 1(of 2) sons have asthma. My step mother had it and died taking more medicines than she could tote anymore.

    • Open Cataracts

      I cured glaucoma in 3 weeks. The cataract cure is very similar.

    • Open High Blood Pressure

      My blood pressure got up 150/95. It spiked to 195/115 once. I switched music from rock to classical and easy listening. I did some meditation. I walked more. My pressure averaged 138/88, just low enough to keep my doctor off my back. Then I started acupuncture. My pressure now averages 110/68 with a resting pulse of around 65. My bp has been as low as 103/53. I have never taken any medication for it.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      Works like a magic wand.
