Certification

  • CHHA - Certified Home Health Aide

I make my own medicine from mother nature. I just don't think the pharmaceutical industry.

I first go on line and do research. An example' I use wild weed cook it. First I dry it, turn it into a powder, and put it into capsules. I also make organic Irish seamoss gel to strengthen my immune system, I make neem with turmeric for immune system and to kill any cancer cell in the beginning stage. A lot of the recipes was handed down from my grandmother to my mother and my mother passed down to me. I've noticed whenever your doctor prescribe medication for one illness you will end up having side effects and that will cause other illnesses and than you have to make more medicines and it goes on like a domino affect. That's the reason why I hate the pharmaceutical system because they're all about getting rich off us.
