I have read many stories about cancer patients beating cancer by doing the alternative medicine route instead of traditional medicine. \u00a0These patients start eating healthy and using other medicine to boost the immune system. \u00a0My mother and I have looked into alternative medicines for my illness. \u00a0The first thing we did was go to a place called Valley Natural Health. \u00a0Valley Natural Health is a chiropractic, and homeopathy and nutrition establishment. \u00a0We heard about it from one of my mom’s friends who has their daughter go there because she was diagnosed with cancer and getting adjusted helped her tremendously. \u00a0I first went there for the chiropractic portion. \u00a0Dr. David Coonrad is the chiropractor that works on my back and neck twice a week. \u00a0Dr. Dave has an interest in the mind\/body connection. \u00a0It is his belief that you need to get the whole nervous system and spine in top form to get the immune system in top form. \u00a0The first thing Dr. Dave did to me was take some pictures of my spine to see what he needed to do first. \u00a0For the first 2 months I went three times a week. \u00a0I went all throughout my radiation and chemotherapy and it really helped. \u00a0There were days after chemotherapy where I was tired and could barely move, but I would go get adjusted and run out of the office because I felt so good. \u00a0It was amazing what Dr. Dave did by just cracking my neck and back. \u00a0Right now my back has really straightened out and my posture feels good. \u00a0Overall, I love getting adjusted and plan on doing it for the rest of my life. \u00a0It really gets my energy up and just feels good.<\/p>\n
Dr. Dave’s wife Linda is in charge of the homeopathy and nutrition. \u00a0We went to see Linda to see what we should be eating and what supplements we should be taking. \u00a0She gave us some pointers on what to eat and gave us some good supplements to take to keep my immune system in tip top form. \u00a0The goal of going the natural way is to keep that immune system at its best to fight against cancer. \u00a0I have been taking all kinds of stuff to keep my immune system the best and to beat cancer. \u00a0Dr. Dave and Linda have been wonderful throughout this whole process. \u00a0They have been very supportive and positive that cancer will be conquered. \u00a0I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to go to Valley Natural Health to go get adjusted. \u00a0It is not only beneficial for cancer, but just any kind of aches and pains one is feeling. \u00a0It is also good for stress relief and depression.<\/p>\n
Their motto is, “where your body is healed, your mind is nurtured, & your spirit is uplifted.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Today, I went to Valley Natural Health for another reason. \u00a0A woman in the office rents out space for her acupuncture business. \u00a0I have also read many cancer patients going for acupuncture because of their treatment and helping with the immune system. \u00a0The acupuncturist is named Ting M. Chao. \u00a0“It is used to offer nutritional counseling to help you in recovery, improvement and \/ or resolution of ailments. \u00a0We are committed to balancing the body, the mind and the spirit.” \u00a0There alternative medicines work on body, mind, and spirit. \u00a0I met with Ting and she discussed what she would be doing to me and asked me questions on what I expected to gain. \u00a0Ting was taking my pulse on my wrists and was feeling for my energy. \u00a0There are three spots on each wrist that give off energy of certain organs in the body. \u00a0Of course your heart, lungs, both kidneys, stomach, and one other organ I cannot remember. \u00a0I thought that was the coolest thing about the acupuncturist. \u00a0I laid on the table and Ting proceeded to stick me with pins to boost my immune system. \u00a0Some of the pins hurt and some didn’t. \u00a0One of the best places to prod is in the ear. \u00a0It is also the most sensitive, so the most painful. \u00a0Overall, the whole experience was great. \u00a0I was deep in relaxation. \u00a0I don’t think I have ever felt like that.<\/p>\n That is Valley Natural Health. \u00a0It is a wonderful place, where everyone cares for you. \u00a0It is another way of healing, but I think is extremely beneficial. \u00a0It is something that I will constantly do for the rest of my life. \u00a0Again, you do not need to have cancer to do all these alternative medicines. \u00a0It cures the most common things and is just a great way to rejuvenate yourself and get energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have read many stories about cancer patients beating cancer by doing the alternative medicine route instead of traditional medicine. \u00a0These patients start eating healthy and using other medicine to boost the immune system. \u00a0My mother and I have looked into alternative medicines for my illness. \u00a0The first thing we did was go to a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":841,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642\/revisions\/841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/allaboutmatt.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
