Lisa Hill

Lisa Hill is a creative children and science writer, friend and patient of Dr. Darvish.  Once a healthy and active individual, Lisa started developing periods of deep fatigue, depression, food allergies and hormonal imbalance.  Her husband had periods of severe migraine headaches, joint aches, food allergies, tingling of the nerves and fatigue.  Their children experienced food allergies, joint aches, and short term memory loss.

For years, they searched for a reason why a once healthy family started the long, downward spiraling road to illness.  Many different tests were taken and medical specialists seen – all with different results or diagnosis.  When Lisa’s family returned to Washingtion state, she discovered Holistique Medical Center in Bellevue, WA.

After being diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2007, the whole family is on the road to recovery using natural cures and treatments. As individuals read this blog, Lisa hopes to help others find their path away from pain.

Why This Blog?

Through our own continual healing journeys, the knowledge and experiences we have acquired as a physician, a patient, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend, and our love for life, our families, and humanity, we have realized that healing is an interwoven process amongst cells, individuals, families, communities and countries.

The ailment of one is the ailment of another. The stress of one, is the stress of another. It is only through open and loving consultation with each other, through the sharing of knowledge and thoughts, through regular spiritual practices,  and through daily incorporation of the virtues such as love, friendship, patience, detachment, forgiveness, courtesy, and compassion that we  recognize the truth behind our pains and we begin to heal. This blog is part of that healing process for each one of us as readers and writers.

Through this blog, we hope to:

• 1) Educate and empower our readers to care and love themselves, and to continue their own healing journey.
• 2) Guide our readers to recognize the truth behind their pain.
• 3) Help our readers find unique, personalized, comprehensive, alternative and safe treatment options for their pain.
• 4) Encourage our readers to incorporate positive human virtues in their daily lives for continual pain management.
• 5) Aid our readers to recognize that physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual wellness play an essential role for optimum pain relief.

To Your Health, With Loving Regards, Nooshin K. Darvish, ND  & Lisa Hill
