Hello, and thank you in advance for your interest in Lumigrate, since you -- YOU! -- are here reading at this time.   The Lumigrate YOU! 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 »

I thought today I'd write a very quick blog post and hope to have more people who have something to add to Lumigrate come and be a part of something that is helping many now, and we plan to have that grow!  With everyone's help in grabbing an oar, if only to write one line in the Lumigrate Forum area, it's a contribution!   read more »

It is mid October now and I'm hearing reports of MANY people ill with viruses: cold or flu.  I spoke with an ER provider last week who said they're seeing 3x the usual number of people and was frustrated by people coming in who didn't need to come in.  So for all: contact your local health department by phone or website if you wonder about the symptoms of influenza versus cold viruses and then what 'secondary' illnesses can happen that might need treatment if you chose to go that route (such as antibiotics).  Other clinics may have helpful webs  read more »

Whether meeting someone in person or on the internet through facebook, I am having to answer this question a lot lately.  Which is great because it means people are finding out about us  and are interested.  Certainly, I refer people to look at Lumigrate.com's 'About Us' section (link below if you want to read later).  We have free information --- the blogs are packed with links to VALID sources to learn more about topics you are interested in and we think are important.  I get included in a lot of interesting information exchanges and have my  read more »
