This is going to be very short and sweet because I want you to be aware of it ASAP! Please follow the link and then put in your comments because they judge the interest in a topic by the feedback they get. I have been writing to them since two months ago when we had every kink worked out of the website -- and I was never contacted but perhaps was heard, along with others. I remember the day last year when an audience member said she had fibromyalgia and it was like 'hooray -- they finally said 'the F word!'

Live and Learn. Learn and Live Better! is my motto. I'm Mardy Ross, and I founded Lumigrate in 2008 after a career as an occupational therapist with a background in health education and environmental research program administration. Today I function as the desk clerk for short questions people have, as well as 'concierge' services offered for those who want a thorough exploration of their health history and direction to resources likely to progress their health according to their goals. Contact Us comes to me, so please do if you have questions or comments. Lumigrate is "Lighting the Path to Health and Well-Being" for increasing numbers of people. Follow us on social networking sites such as: Twitter: http://twitter.com/lumigrate [3] and Facebook. (There is my personal page and several Lumigrate pages. For those interested in "groovy" local education and networking for those uniquely talented LumiGRATE experts located in my own back yard, "LumiGRATE Groove of the Grand Valley" is a Facebook page to join. (Many who have joined are beyond our area but like to see the Groovy information! We not only have FUN, we are learning about other providers we can be referring patients to and 'wearing a groove' to each other's doors -- or websites/home offices!) By covering some of the things we do, including case examples, it reinforces the concepts at Lumigrate.com as well as making YOU feel that you're part of a community. Which you ARE at Lumigrate!

I'm a 17 yr survivor of Fibromyalgia and CFIDS. Four I was bed fast. I began to do my own research into proper supplements, breathing techniques, removing toxins from my body and chemicals from my life. There is a in article in the Sep. issue of "All About Women" magazine. concerning my findings. It took me years of research and trial and error to find the things which help with pain, fatigue and brain fog. After Sep. it should be in the archives. pg 55 or 56 The online version is different than my hard copy. its located at www.aawmag.com [5] I want you to find your path to feeling stronger and healthier.-- Clarissa
PS. I had written to O magazine several times concerning a story about Fibromyalgia and natrual healing. I wish they had included those of us with the illness in the article.
