My name is Mary Daley. I am a physical therapist by profession. I started working with Tamara as a patient in May of 2003. I was referred to her through a mutual friend who had previously relayed the information regarding Tamara’s organophosphate poisoning. I had developed progressive liver pain, weight loss, flu-like symptoms, and declining bone density problems in early 2003. I was working with a couple of other alternative medicine practitioners and was not sure that I was on the right path. As I had known about Tamara’s liver problems, I decided to call her as she certainly could identify with what I was experiencing. She requested all of my previous test results and ordered a few more specific tests that had not been done. Much to my delight, she zeroed in on two major areas of concern that needed to be addressed-a very low level of essential amino acids, and, an lingering h. pylori bacteria which had progressed to my small intestine and caused a malabsorption problem for me which resulted in weight loss(approximately 9 lbs.) and muscle wasting! She addressed those problems with very specific protocols, which eliminated the h. pylori, and, helped me gain back 8 lbs. of body weight! During this process, Tamara recommended several books, and, always explained the body’s biochemical reactions and needs in language I could understand as a health care provider. I learned so much! I now have a totally different outlook on general health and wellness.

Other than the above described health problem, I had also suffered from 18 years of chronic sinus infections and bronchitis after moving from the Midwest to Arizona. I now realize that I was eating foods I was allergic to (i.e. dairy and wheat) and had a significant amount of stress in my personal life. I did not address either at the time and as I eventually learned, my immune system bore the brunt of both! In addition, I was constantly taking multiple medications for my symptoms (i.e. numerous rounds of antibiotics, cortisone dose packs, and inhalers). This was the standard treatment prescribed by my MD. Needless to say I was getting concerned about my long term health and began re-evaluating my diet and lifestyle during this time period.

What actually started me on a path to find another way to heal by body was a home care patient of mine in 1996. This patient had chronic lung disease and could not walk more than 5 feet without extreme fatigue and shortness of breath. Out of the blue it hit me that I could be like that patient when I reached my 60’s (I was in my early 40’s at that time) if I didn’t find out why my immune system was failing me. Thanks to some friends who were focused on natural medicine approaches, I started on my path to wellness. Then I met Tamara! My association with Tamara over the last eighteen months has been the greatest learning experience in terms of healing my body. She has dramatically helped my recovery from malabsorption and liver inflammation. She recommended the Ionizer Plus water filter system and this has really helped my fingernails become stronger and aid my gut in shedding more candida. Working with Tamara and following her protocols has been a long, painstaking process and some times I have wanted to quit. However, I remind myself that I did not get sick overnight and I will not get “well” overnight!! I have no doubt that Tamara will continue to help me achieve better health and wellness. She has been a true blessing in my life!
