And during all that time, I’ve only come across one healing modality that supports the entire body — head to toe, every organ system — in such a powerful way.   Clear air is awesome and nurturing. Juicing is powerful and cleansing. Purified water is hydrating and supportive. But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever.   Some folks heal with a certain
