The holistic therapist I've been going to gave me permission to link her web site here, so you can find it on the links page. Or you can simply click here. Her name is Julie Montgomery, and I was waiting a little while to give an endorsement, but after two weeks of seeing improvement in certain areas in not only me, but my wife as well, I think there's a lot of validity to holistic therapy. Think about it. Using herbs, vitamins, and minerals to treat certain medical conditions means no, nada, zero side effects from medicine. Plus, synthetic medicines tax your liver. The next time you hear an ad for a prescription drug (and there are a LOT of them out there), pay attention to hear "Not for those with liver disease" followed by a list of side effects which often make you feel more miserable than the symptoms you are trying to treat. So, if nearly none of these medicines are safe to take if you have a liver disease, you can come to one of two conclusions. 1) The medication in question is hard on the liver. And, 2) If you have liver disease, you're pretty much screwed. There are next to no medications for anything that you can take.
Julie is a very personable lady who truly seems to have a deep concern about every individual patient. And, if there is a way of cutting costs, even if it means less to herself, she'll do it. Don't get me wrong, since insurance doesn't cover vitamins, herbs, and minerals, holistic therapy can get more pricey, but the long-term benefits seem to be worth it. Oh, sure, I'll fuss to high heaven about the costs, but that's just my personality. Julie and her family are very heavy into horses. Their horse barn is incredible, I've seen humans who don't have it as nice. In fact, horses are what Julie started using holistic therapy on several years ago. Then, when people started seeing how good their horses were doing, they wanted a bit of that pie themselves, so she started helping people. Now here's what I don't get: When I was getting examined, she would put pressure on my body at certain points and say, "Does this hurt?" And, I would simply open my human mouth and say "Yes" or "No". How the heck, unless the horse is Mr. Ed (of course), and can talk, can she tell if something is bothering the horse? I could see Julie putting a hand around a certain joint on the front foreleg or something, "Does that hurt?" "NEEEIIIGH!" or "If this hurts, stomp one time for no, two for yes." Humans can communicate feedback, how does a horse? I don't know, but it would be fun to watch a horse exam.
