I had this funky, unexplainable medical issue with my face. It started with the massive cold sore that took over the corner of my mouth. This may not be a big deal for some but I only get them when I’m moving, flying to New Zealand or living in the sun. That averages out to one every 4 years. After a two week recuperation, another one came on. Two weeks later a third one hit me. Something was wrong.  I was as frustrated and mystified as my naturopath physician. We even ran a test on my white blood cell count to make sure it was running properly.

About two years ago a good friend of mine woke up with a very swollen belly, out of nowhere.

Later that night she was told she had stage 4 ovarian cancer.

I got a speeding ticket.

No, it's not the first time.

I often leave the house just a minute or two late, and by the time I get to the car it's about three or four.  Ugh.

Then I go into rush mode.

I’m 37 now and I have dealt with pain in various parts of my body since my 20’s.  I’ve had knee pain, wrist pain, headaches, and now hip pain.  It’s never been bad enough to keep me from activities (except for in my 20’s when I had to give up running) and a normal lifestyle, but I feel it at moments and wish it weren’t there.  Over the years I’ve done a lot of research into natural ways to cure my pain.
