Outside The Box of Conventional Medicine: History Shows Slow Progress for Functional, Integrative and Other Approaches

Do you ever see the information about 'outside the box' health and think 'that makes SO MUCH SENSE, why didn't I hear about that before now?' Or 'why isn't EVERYONE doing this already, if it's been known for a while?'.  I hope this topic will help provide some answers. This will likely be a topic I add onto and improve upon as time goes on.  read more »

Fibromyalgia and Low Thyroid Disorders: How to Find and Learn from Author and Dr., Rodger Murphree

Dr. Rodger Murphree is one of the resources Dr Spurlock, Lumigrate's 'in house' FM/CFS/environmental medicine specialist, suggests people learn from, saying "he's one of my mentors".

I also have added some of my thoughts that came from reading this, so I hope you gain from that as well.  read more »

YOU - Do it Yourself Recipe

Model is the cornerstone that anyone using the website, or me as a guide and helper privately "at a distance" through the phone or video calling and written messages, must know about.  (I also work with paper and mail and telephone for those who are more low-tech, or who have electromagnetic sensitivities until they get THAT sorted out, which can be a starting point of our work.)   read more »
