Growing Older Gracefully & Improving As I Age.

Having been a holistic therapist for over 17 years I have observed a good deal of human life and the human condition.  I have also been lucky enough to be working with some of the most inspirational people you could ever wish to meet.

As I have had more and more experience and involvement with holistic therapies I have come to realise that the world we live in is not always as it might seem and that what is given to be a 'truth' might not be quite as it might seem - particularly when it comes to modern day medicine.

My story starts with me myself as from being a teenager I suffered with acne - it never got better despite my spending a kings ransome on every medication the pharmacy ever stocked.  My Doctors tried everything at their disposal and still I had lots of spots.  It never really went at all and as I got older it turned into Rosacea (most attractive I can tell you).  It was not until my 40's that a client who had Acne no more  who showed me the work of Dr Walden.  

This was such a revelation because now for the first time this offered me a real chance to be rid of my acne for good.  So, what was so special about this program?  Well instead of the usual medical approach of treating the symptoms this looked at the skin condition as a whole body condition and treated it as such.  I had read of holistic acne treatments before but never read good reports of them and this one looked different so I gave it a try.

Within 6 weeks my skin was a million times better than it had been over the previous 20 years.  This approach which looks at diet, natural skin care, exercise, stress levels and puts it all together in an easy to follow program that even I could cope with.  So, as I got older my skin got better.

Also since being a teenager I had to wear glasses - the acne was obviously not enough!  As I got older and older the worse my eye sight became because as those of you who wear glasses will understand your eye sight does not get 'better' with the correct lenses it actually just gets worse and worse.  So, again by the time I hit my 40's my vision without glasses was pretty poor.

Strange really that over time with the correct glasses that your vision does not get better just worse and worse isn't it?

Yet again one of my fantastic clients came to my rescue.  This particular lady had been told about New York eye surgeon Dr Bates and his pioneering work.  Dr Bates spent many years researching why the eye got worse rather than better and he developed a system to retrain the eye and it's muscles to do what it should be doing not what the glasses were making it do.  Yet again another 'alternative' cure that not too many people get to hear about.

I followed Dr Bates program and within 3 months my eyesight was pretty much back to how it had been in my early 20's  and for the most part I have now got almost 20/20 vision without glasses .

I never imagined that as I got older I would improve and that in my late 40's I am looking and 'working' better than i did in my twenties.  It just goes to show that you are never too old to learn new tricks.
