Goals for this Blog

I am not a medical doctor, nor am I a homeopathic practitioner.

I am a normal person who likes to be healthy.  I have been diagnosed with the triad of asthma, allergies and eczema.  More recently, I was diagnosed with autoimmune disorders, which can cause inflammation in the body.

I will aim to write in this blog once per month.

I take "Western" medicine to control my asthma symptoms.  But, I also agree with the "Eastern" view of holistic medicine; therefore, I take several vitamins that, in my opinion, augment how the Western medicine works.

My goal for this blog is to talk about vitamins I take personally, discuss my opinion of trends in health, and discuss my opinion about how health involves the whole body and experience.  If you tell the doctor your symptoms, the doctor will treat the symptoms; if you tell the doctor about what is going on in your life, in addition to the symptoms, then the doctor will treat you as a person.

I'd like to stress that I'm not trained in the medical profession.  This blog will reflect my opinion and should not be construed as medical advice.  Please consult your doctor if you believe you need medical treatment.
