It's My Health
Healthy for life!
About Us
My name is Colleen, and I’m a Natural Health Practitioner, Natural Health Consultant, and Natural Health Educator.Kyla, my daughter, has a keen interest in a variety of alternative health avenues and is my all-round assistant as needed.
Why do I promote “natural” or “alternative” health?
Because the health of my family and friends is too important to leave to government or big businesses that are only interested in making a large profit.
Here’s our family story:
When our daughter was born in 1983, she was a healthy, happy, 8 pound 5 ounce baby. We listened to the doctors and got her vaccinated according to what we were told. Each time, she would go through a frustrating, crying stage and her growth would slow down. When she had the 1 year vaccinations, she developed spots, a fever of 104 degrees, and lost 2 pounds off of her tiny 15 pound frame.
The doctors did many, many tests to find out what had happened. They would not admit that her problem related to the vaccinations. We sent a sample of her hair to a Naturopath located in the USA and without providing him with any details, he reported back to us that our daughter had an allergic reaction to her vaccinations. She hasn’t had any more vaccinations since then.
Then our daughter developed Eczema for which the standard treatment is Cortizone cream. Little did we know that this would suppress the initial health issue, caused by the vaccinations, and by kindergarten she had developed Asthma. We were told to use a ventilator for her to inhale the drugs that would “help” with the Asthma. By the time she was in Grade 2 her little fingers were starting to be twisted and crippled looking similar to a little old lady. And every time she needed to go to the hospital for a mask treatment the doctors wanted to try some new drug.
That was enough! We decided to home school our two children and take control of our family’s health. I started doing research and in less than a year our daughter’s asthma was a non-issue. It didn’t bother her for over 9 years. It reappeared briefly when she and her husband were living on a very poor diet of fast foods and macaroni and cheese. She cleaned up her diet and hasn’t had an issue since.
In 2006, our son got off-track, working long hours and not eating properly, and developed a severe case of mono and strep-throat. The doctor gave him a prescription which he decided not to fill. I informed him that it was his choice but that if he didn’t fill the prescription he had better follow my advice exactly. He did an impressive job of following my instructions and was back to work, fully recovered, in a much shorter time than the doctor told him it would take.
In 2003, after researching health benefits of various diets, I chose to become vegetarian. The results are speaking for themselves, and my family has switched over too. Our son, who doesn't live with us, became vegetarian after his illness in 2006. And now some of our friends are starting to be interested in vegetarianism.
Since 1991 we have made natural health a regular part of our lifestyle. In our minds, it is path you travel on as you keep learning. As we learn more, we modify what we do or don’t do. We make time to meditate, exercise, read, and study many books.
And we don’t use our knowledge only for people. Last winter one of our horses went down with colic. Information we had said that once a horse is down, call the vet to come and operate, and you have a 50/50 chance of saving/loosing the horse. We didn’t accept those odds and knew that some of the fastest natural health “medicine” around is homeopathy. Have you ever seen those tiny homeopathic pellets? They can do wonders, even for a 1500 pound horse! Our horse was up and able to go back with the herd in under 1 hour.
Enough about us. We are very thankful that our adult children and now our grandchildren are traveling along the same path. But now it is time to share what we have learned with other people. We hope that more and more people, like you, will learn, study, have great results, and share with friends and family.
Together we can create a healthier world one person at a time.
To your health!
