Greetings Everyone, Among the most surprising things about our Indiegogo project for our sister-site, Chronic Wellness Tools, are the great questions that are coming in.

The Big Question

2017-01-26T12:26:18+00:00

I get asked all the time if I think I am "healed" from Wellness.

At one level, this seems like a question with a simple, yes [...]

Graphing epiphany; impact of holiday stress

2017-01-26T12:27:22+00:00

Holiday stress really can have a huge impact. Wow. I just learned something amazing from my Chronic-Tracker graph. I was printing a screen shot for my LLMD of my top 5 symptoms and noticed that they all had been improving, up until 11/25 when the graph showed they all started to make a precipitous decline. [...]
