I remember my first experience with herbs. I was six years old. My great-grandmother took me with her to gather the different herbs, roots, seeds, and leaves. We would take the little wagon, shovel, bags, and boxes to put different things in. Then, when we got back to the house, we would soak some, dry some, some were put in alcohol, and some in other liquids that I am not sure about. I sure remember that she had a remedy for whatever complaints you would have. When she passed away no one else ever understood what she did and I sure wish I could have paid more attention to her work. I will always remember the experience and I am glad that I have taken up the study of herbs and health.

     I was ill for eighteen years, and, took the medical route for fifteen. Medication weakened my body until I could hardly function. My son came home with a little box of herbs. He said, "Mom here is something that might help you." I was really desperate so I began to use them. I started to study books to better understand what was happening to my body and what I could do to help myself. I really learned a lot. The most important thing I learned was that each person is an individual and they must be treated that way. I remember the medical doctor telling me, "You will just have to learn to live with it." NOT ME!!! I know I used to have more energy. I am a happy outgoing person and I just didn't feel like me anymore.

     It took me five years to get to the point where I felt the energy that I knew I could have. When I started on my endeavor to understand how to help myself I remember thinking, "I want to live, not die!" I think that was a commitment to my goal in life. I realized the knowledge I had gained in understanding my own body function helped me to understand other peoples condition better. It could be the help for others who might not have the power to overcome the struggle that I had to conquer.

     I started to take some training so I could really be of help to others. I now have a health food store and a healthcare business that has prospered for 29 years. I really enjoy helping people help themselves. Self-discipline and understanding your own body function is so very important to your better health program.
