Alternative medicine has fascinated me from the moment I was introduced to it 1991. In 2000 I had an injury involving some dirty metal so I did what we're taught to do and got a tetanus shot. Forty-five minutes later I was laying on the floor in the grocery store. My quality of life went downhill from there. I had never had any problems before, so this was all a surprise to me. I had a hunch that my problem was from the shot but of course EMTs and doctors said no one reacts to tetanus shots. Guess what? I did.

From that point on in 2000 I became allergic to so many things, many that I wasn't even aware of. I knew I felt horrible but didn't know the cause. I developed Lyme disease, Fibro and chronic fatigue, and multiple chemical sensitivity, and more. I couldn't go to the store without feeling like I was going to pass out. When I ate, sometimes it would feel like someone took my bones out and I couldn't hold myself up. My hormones went crazy, my brain was foggy, my thyroid crashed, on and on.

After 1 1/2 years of this, some wonderful ladies at our church kidnapped me and took me to a chiropractor. It changed my life. I had undergone acupuncture years before but had forgotten about alternative medicine. This chiropractor was able to help my allergies and get my stomach working again. Within two weeks, my acid reflux cleared up. This man helped me tremendously but I still didn't feel well. I was functioning but not thriving. I tried acupuncture, NAET, and a few other items, all of which helped but still I didn't feel well.

In 2009 I met a BodyTalk practitioner and began working with her. It was a long road but my life began changing from the first session. I think the thing that made the difference was that BodyTalk has the ability to address so many levels of the body/mind complex. The active memory and consciousness items were what I was missing with the other things I had tried.
