WELCOME

My Body Organic offers alternative health care services. The primary objective at My Body Organic is the prevention of disease and the attainment of optimal health. Prevention should start at conception and continue through life by eating real food, drinking plenty of clean water, avoiding exposure to chemicals like pesticides and food additives, and toxic metals like mercury or aluminum. High-quality, natural supplements should be taken as needed.

My Body Organic recommends herbs, homeopathics, and nutritional products after determining your unique needs. To determine your needs I will use education, experience, symptom survey forms, Electral Dermal Screening and most importantly, communication. Everyone has their own experiences, stresses, history, exposures, beliefs, and daily lifestyle. It is a privilege and  my responsibility to listen and observe so I may properly apply the education and make better use of the tools available. What to expect during your appointment.

In addition to one-on-one appointments we also provide health education classes. The cost is minimal and I always provide as much information as I currently know to be true. Health Education Classes for 2009 will include Spring Into Shape: Weight-Loss Classes , Breast Health: Whole Body Perspective ,and Your Child : Break the Sick Cycle.

Sharlene Peterson, CHS
I have worked in the Black Hills as an alternative health care provider, both in private practice and at Alt Med Services in Black Hawk under the guidance of Cory Carter, ND. My education includes a B.S. Biology degree, Lymphatic Decongestion certification, Certified Health Specialist (CHS) degree, and many seminars and classes in the alternative fields of health. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate of Naturopathy. I work with children, youth, and adults from several states. I may see some clients a couple times a year for preventative health services while others are facing serious imbalances that require frequent visits and changes.

Serious imbalances include diabetes or hypoglycemia, cancer, chronic fatique, fibromyalgia, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroid...there are also conditions like lyme's disease, west nile, and candida overgrowth and other parasites that respond well to specific herbs and homeopathics.

I do not claim to cure diseases – that would be against the law! It is also true. I simply recommend herbs, nutrition, homeopathy, and other modalities that the body can then use as it sees fit. Your body makes the new cells, transports the nutrients, and eliminates the waste, attacks viruses and bacteria – your body heals itself. Insurance does not cover my services. This is a good thing – I do not want some uncaring person sitting in an office telling me what you should have, can have, and for how long. You are a unique individual and I will serve you to the best of my ability and within the parameters you choose.

When are supplements needed?
When your body has not received the required minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, water, protein, or enzymes needed for optimal health. When toxins or chemicals have created or aggravated an imbalance/dis-ease in your body. Supple-ments may also be needed when you are facing stressful conditions or events in your life. Balance is needed in every aspect of life so that disease does not develop into disease. A properly nourished body has an increased resistance to acute conditions like colds and indigestion as well as chronic conditions like hypothyroid and arthritis.

What are high-quality supplements? Supplements that come solely or primarily from the earth NOT from a chemistry lab! Our bodies came from the earth, will return to the earth, and receive nourishment from the earth. Anything that enters our body and does not provide nourishment for our cells is waste material and adds to the total burden of our bodily systems to dispose of such waste.
