Journal of Natural Healing

For my whole adult life, I’ve been a huge health geek! I’ve always enjoyed eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and practicing mediation.

On July 4th, 2012, my life changed dramatically. I was suddenly in agonizing pain with a high fever and incapacitated by what was eventually diagnosed as Early Disseminating Lyme Meningitis, and then Lyme radiculoneuritis.

I first learned about Tom Tam’s reputation as a powerful healer from the widow of a cancer survivor during a short conversation we had at a social event.

In 1991 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), which is a degenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. However, it affects everyone differently.

I started to notice a slight red patch appear on the tip of my nose where I had previously injured it with a careless jab from the nose pad of my glasses years before.

It was the first Friday of the new year. The year was 2014 and I was living in hilly central Massachusetts. Temperatures had been in the frigid zone for days, and the ground was covered by a crystalline snow blanket.

As a massage therapist I see a lot of people who are hurting. But, I didn’t expect that it would be a client (an RN), who would put me on my own path to healing.

A few years ago, I successfully recovered from a one-year bout of moderate depression. I thought my health was back to normal, but I then developed a follow up problem.

There are absolutely no risks in eating a complete, nutritious, gentle and natural food for three days — only potential benefits — so I recommend this age-old cleanse to everyone!

A few simple and effective postures a few times a day release neuromuscular pain and discomfort. I can do that!

I was a fashion designer and homemaker in New England and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that developed to stage IV within a few weeks.

Five years ago I sprained my right ankle walking Scruff, the dog, the evening before my daughter’s wedding rehearsal dinner.

Sometimes taking the road less traveled is well worth the risk.

My symptoms were the result of a chronic over-firing of the sympathetic nervous system, caused by my refusal to even hear my inner voice, a voice that had been drowned out for years by rules and roles I made myself live by.

The more remarkable effects occurred while I was taking doses of at least 20,000 IU per day.

I know first hand how effective and overwhelmingly beneficial the Ayurvedic holistic approach to health and wellbeing is.

Reiki proves again and again the miraculous capability of healing available to us.

My herbal remedy of choice happens to be very old, very natural, very available, and very controversial.

No swelling, no bruising, no discomfort — just the power of the mind, helping the body to heal itself.
