I began a terrible journey of ill health in Janu-ary of 2004. My health had deteriorated to the point where all of my body systems were affect-ed, but my short-term memory, vision, ability to breath and muscle tone were affected most se-verely.
By March, doctors had performed numerous tests including blood work, X-rays, TB test, and a MRI. I was told I had toxic chemical and heavy metal poisoning (my white blood count was el-evated 5 times normal), yet was not considered “sick”. I am normally a size 2 and my body had swollen to a size 10. I had no strength and could barely breathe. I lost my job.
It was at this point I began seeking alterna-tive forms of medicine and began my journey of healing. I knew I would need to rid my body of the heavy metals and found mineral body wraps, far infrared saunas and music therapy to aid in the process. I began using these mo-dalities to release the heavy metal build up, in-crease enzymes to assist my adrenal glands in the release of the impurities, and adjusted my PH so my body changed from an acidic to alkaline environment. Within 3 days I was able to breathe easier, I gained strength and lost inches through the release of metabolic waste. I felt as if I had returned to the living—I had my life back!
It has been since May 2006 this journey began and I am sharing my experience, strength and hope with others. I opened Circle of Life Spa to provide the modalities which helped save my life. This is for everyone who wants and needs them.
I look forward to the opportunity to share my experience with you.

is tometabolize hormones.The liverconjugates, or binds, estrogen to othercompounds to promote its clearancefrom the body. Estrogen is commonlybound to glucuronic acid, forming acompoundthatcanbeexcretedintobileandremovedfromtheliver.Decreasedliver functioncan result in an increaseinestrogenactivityinthebody.

“I LOVE this magazine because I’ve been contemplating making lifestyle changes and this maga-zine has been an important catalyst for me to do just that. HB is unique, other similar publications don’t hold as much impact. I love the idea that the magazine is a local publication. I like that it has a positive feel to it and I especially loved the article on Denice McKee! I am going to Barnes and Noble tonight and will pick up several copies to give to my friends!”
