SHOW INFO
If you would like to donate to the running of the podcast and leave an energetic exchange that would be completely wonderful.
You can get my book here as a paperback or audio or e book, which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplements
If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com or

A little side note:
I am not a practitioner of health professional. These shows are meant to create food for thought for people going through similar situations. Planting seeds of information about things that perhaps you never knew could and might assist in treating and managing the symptoms associated with your diagnosis.
Alternative treatments are out there to be used, alongside allopathic medicine, or instead of, that part is completely up to you, but gaining knowledge is the first part in empowering yourself back to health.
In love, light and electricity
