Welcome To Natural Health and Alternative Medicine Information

My name is Sharon Secor and I am a freelance writer and single parent, which means I definitely understand the effects of the high cost of health care today. It was the high cost of care and being poor that pushed me into the study of natural health and alternative medicine many years ago, long before I became a single parent.

From there, I began to learn about the history of Western medicine, the dangers associated with many of the treatment and pharmeceutical fads Western medicine went through and is still experiencing, and the value – not only to the pocket – of learning about how to use herbs and other natural remedies. I also began to study nutrition as a means of achieving and maintaining health, as well as its role in fighting and healing disease.

However, I do not discount the value of Western-style modern medicine. I have three children that were born prematurely, two of which would not be here without the seemingly miraculous feats accomplished by modern Western medicine.

With this blog, my sister, Melinda Secor – who spent more than 15 years working in health care before she made the shift into freelance writing – and I plan to offer practical, useful information as we explore the issues and subjects associated with natural health and alternative medicine.
