Who Can Benefit from this Service?
Actually everyone can benefit from this type of service. My
service is an in-person service for people in the San Francisco Bay Area.
You need to be able to travel to Los Altos, CA. If you answer yes to any of the following questions
or if you have any of the body signs listed in the table below, then you can
benefit from this service. Many people think that these symptoms or
body signs are
"normal" or something to be lived with, when in fact they are symptoms of
problems that should receive attention. If they are allowed to
continue, or covered up with medications, then they usually lead to more
problems down the road. So NOW is the time to address those vague or
not so vague problems:
- Do you have indigestion, heartburn, reflux, bloating after eating,
belching, gas, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, diverticulitis, Crohn's,
colitis, or irritable bowel?
- Do you take Tums for acid indigestion or other reason?
- Do you regularly use antacids?
- Do you have sinusitis, post-nasal drip, excess throat mucous?
- Do you rely on antihistamines and/or decongestants for allergies?
- Do you get infections easily or recover slowly?
- Do you have dry skin or little bumps on the backs of your upper arms?
- Are you overweight and can't seem to lose those extra pounds?
- Do you experience frequent joint pain, arthritis or bursitis?
- Have you taken prescription drugs two or more times in the past year?
- Are you frequently tired from a normal day's activity?
- Do you have trouble sleeping?
- Do you have heart disease, or a family history of heart disease?
- Have you been diagnosed with high blood pressure?
- Do you have high cholesterol levels?
- Have you been diagnosed with hormonal imbalance (e.g. menopause)?
- Do you have a thyroid disorder?
- Do you frequently eat or crave foods with refined sugar or starches, such
as candy, chips, cookies, pasta?
- Are you concerned about avoiding the effects or premature aging?
- Are you concerned about avoiding such disease as cancer, Alzheimer's
disease, Parkinson's disease and others?
