Our journey with alternative healthcare began when our mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1989. Being unaware of other alternatives or adjunct therapies, we followed all the traditional medical techniques available, but nothing helped her. As a matter of fact her quality of life was diminished considerably as a result of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. She passed away in November 1989 the day after her 43rd birthday. Not long after her death, our father also became very ill and no one could seem to find the cause of his illness. It was finally decided that he should have open heart surgery but they were not sure if it would be a success, nor did they know if he would even survive the operation. Out of desperation and at the advice of our uncle, we went to a ND who, with MSA testing, discovered that our father had chemical toxicity. The chemicals found were the same ones he used when farming. We later recalled that the sprayer had burst and chemicals had sprayed out on him a few days before he got sick. We were truly astounded with what we saw with the MSA testing and we followed the regiment given to us to detoxify and support various internal organs. Within a week he had improved signifigantly. Within four to six weeks he was fully recovered. Even the medical doctors were amazed! He had no surgery and had eliminated all the prescription medications he was previously using. This experience opened our eyes to other avenues for the betterment of our health. We all wondered how differently things could have been with mother had we only knew of other options. It became a mission to educate and make available information of alternatives in healthcare. Thus Natural Solutions for Preventative Healthcare was formed in 1998.
