Why I Went Into Integrative Medicine

Years ago I owned a bakery and I had eczema, which got worse with stress or exposure to chemicals and lots of hand washing.

In a bakery or any restaurant you are always cleaning and washing. My eczema flared up so bad on my hands that they had to stay wrapped and gloved most of the time because they bled and cracked constantly and looked like I had leprosy.

I went to many doctors and the final straw was when a doctor said I should go on Prozac because it was al- in-my-head – kind of like an OCD habit. Are you kidding me?! It was not!! And I was determined to prove that doctor wrong (bless their soul!).

One day a customer at the bakery recommended an acupuncturist. Long story short, I went for two months two times a week and took herbal supplements for about four months. I had relief in two weeks it was gone (GONE!) in two months. I had been dealing with this issue for 40 years at that time. Amazing to say the least!

I sold my bakery and went to Integrative Medicine school.
