About Me

I'm a 51 year old mom of 2. I live in California with my wonderful husband and 20 year old son. I have a 30 year old daughter who lives in Idaho with her husband and 2 children, a 6yr. old. and a 2 yr. old. My life has been pretty simple. Up until 8 years ago, I was a very healthy, athletic person. I really didn't think about having to take care of myself or that I needed to take vitamins because I had always been healthy. 

It was in 2001 that I stared having health issues and was reluctantly diagnosed with chronic fatigue and a little later, fibromyalgia by my doctor. It was a struggle working and enduring the stress there that was making me worse. Finally in 2004, I had to quit my job and stay at home.

I changed doctors because my old doc, was so frustrated with me he was getting to the point of meaness and degrading me, in front of his office staff. I went to a new doctor thinking she was different, but just like my old doctor, she also wanted to just put me on anti-depressants and send me home until the next visit. I let her talk me into taking Cymbalta and 1-2 months later, I was suffering from a detached retina and other issues with both eyes. That was in early 2005, and I still wasn't taking any vitamins or natural supplements to increase my health...silly me right? My eyes will never be the same because I didn't do my research. 

That's why I love Dr. Mercola, I know what is going on! I have tried so many things to help me feel better. My family has been so wonderful and understanding. I have learned through trial and error, which foods make me worse and which ones make me feel better. I also had to play around with different types of vitamins and supplements until I found the ones that worked best for me. I wouldn't say I am living a normal life now, but I do live it day to day in hopes that one day I'll wake up and feel like I used to. I live a very modified life, but at least I'm not stuck in bed! I want to help others, giving support, so that they are not alone. I know many people who suffer with illnesses such as mine, lose friends, as I did, and family who just don't understand what is happening. 

I also chose to work from home, as I didn't feel I could cope the stress of Corporate America again. I found a great company to partner with that has helped my health. I have not taken a prescription medication since beginning my vitamins and supplements and my chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia has responded better with them than they ever did with anti-depressants. I also switched to household and personal care products with plant based, naturally derived ingredients, which has eliminated as many toxins as possible from my home environment. That has greatly reduced the chemical sensitivities I was experiencing with the chemical based cleaners, etc. My heart is always open for those I can help to live a healthier life. Something I wish I would have known before I became ill. Always take care of yourself, BEFORE you become ill. PREVENTION is always the best choice!!

Hey Master! I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled last week. I have been taking Collidal Silver, a whole lot of vitamin C and antioxidents. It's healing up pretty well. People who I have talked to about having theirs pull have had terrible stories of dry socket and stuff. I guess everything I'm doing may be helping.

Hi!  First I want to tell you that you look great for your age.  

I am also going through depression and fatigue.  I've search everywhere for an answer and finally realize that most of my symptoms are from a dental cavitation from a wisdom tooth that was pulled thirty years ago that never properly healed.   Through the years, I'm 63 now, I've always had pimples and could never figure out why.  At some point, after reading several books on the dangers of cavitations, I became suspicious of my teeth.  I've always had healthy teeth most of my life, so I never suspected that would be the problem, but just to be sure, I pushed up on all the sites where my wisdom teeth had been and found one to be spongy with a hole in it, unlike the other where the gum had healed cleanly and the bone underneath could be clearly felt.  I was looking for a good holistic dentist to open the site up and clean it out when a friend loaned me a light therapy device called The Bioptron by Zepter. I have used it for six days and the infection is almost healed.  I'm not sure that it will completely heal this way andI may still have to go to a dentist to make sure that the site is thoroughly cleaned.  

Infections in the teeth may not be something that you've considered checking out.  I read that an infection doesn't always show up in an xray.  My tooth was pulled thirty years ago, and none of my dentists found it.  A perpetual infection can lead you to many health issues. I was diagnosed with anemia and adrenal exhaustion, probably precipitated by the infected site.  

Also, that light device was really surprising.  I don't know if it's because it got rid of a lot of the bacterial load, but I got a lot of energy after using it and my skin also started to look much more moist and smooth.  There are many modals of light devices on the internet and I am looking at one that uses a Xenon light source because it most closely mimics the rays of the sun.  There is even one with a light guide that can probably shine right into the back of my mouth and maybe even completely heal it.

Anyway, I hope this will be of help to you.  The best of luck to you.

Thanks for your wonderful comment! You are a great lady. I read your bio and totally understand your situation about trying to find the right doctor. Sometimes I feel like these doctors think we are hypochondriacs or something. But a woman knows when there is something that is just not right. I had a problem with my gall bladder for a few years and went to the emergency room several times with severe abdominal and back pain. They could never tell me what was wrong (except they believed I was really constipated) until finally one day they did an ultra sound and discovered gall stones in my gall bladder. I then had laproscopic surgery and had them removed. I have been pain free ever since. But unfortunately there are so many others suffering from the same problem and the doctor's only advice is to take Tums and the stomach pain will go away. I'm glad Dr. Mercola has helped you too!! :))
