Jennifer Mannion

I am a 38 year old living with my husband and 2 children in upstate, NY. I was born and raised in NYC. I maintain 2 blogs on my areas of passion. I blog about natural healing because I had severe chronic pain for over 2 years and was ill for over 6 years with several chronic illnesses. I want to empower others to seek out natural means to heal. I believe a more complimentary approach to medicine is needed in the US. Too many people are dependent on dangerous pharmaceuticals.

I also maintain a blog where I recommend Non-violent Computer Games for children. I taught computers for years to children and adults in NYC and love playing games with my own kids.

I welcome communication and new friendships and am always available to communicate on areas of health, family, computers and just about anything else!

Prescription Drugs Are Dangerous -- Time to Look At Alternative Methods to Heal
(4 comments) Prescription Drugs are now the #4 (or #1) cause of death in the US. Time to look at other methods of healing. I used all natural methods to heal and believe a more integrative medial approach needs to be taken in the US.
