Growing up with a father afflicted with polio and unable to walk unaided, I always wondered what motivated him to get up and go to work daily. I was told your mind is the most important gift you have, and to use it wisely and to its potential. Then when I experienced the sudden loss of my husband when my boys were 1 and 4 years old, I fell into this roll of sole guardian and caretaker. I started many companies, but my financial success did not take away the stress; it placed a burden upon me physically. I have watched close family members struggle with mental illness, unable to function in our society. I soon realized that the body and mind work closely together, and both need to be healthy.
My desire to help lead me on this voyage. Working with Veteran’s with PTSD and anxiety made me see the widespread dependence on Western medicines with a less than satisfactory result. I then gave away many possessions to travel and learn from developing countries. I sought out alternative treatments, costing far less and producing far better results. My desire to help others to learn and help themselves lead to the developing of 4 THE HEALTH OF IT LLC. It is never to late to take control of your body. Even little changes can produce significant results. I look forward to helping you grow in your journey of taking back your health. You can start with some of the products found on the website.
