    CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine)

    Other Care

    I am a firm believer in helping my body heal itself. I meditate daily, I am doing yoga, I walk 3 miles a day. I eat so many fruits and veggies for their high anti-oxident ingredients. I take lots of suppliments that are shown to be anti-oxident and anti-cancer. I have done alot of research on this. I also am a firm believer in naps and having a loving community surround you with love and prayers. And of course the positive attitude is key. I wish all us a return to health.
