The Botox Tour
By Dr. Gabrielle Francis
This tour started out as a big frustration
for me. The artists had no interest in
any of my wonderful Naturopathic advice or remedies that would improve their
health. Well, they liked the passive
things such as massage and stretching before going on stage. But changing the diet and using natural
remedies was really not their thing.
That is not until they realized how well the natural therapies
The tour had convenient breaks for the
artists to have the necessary anti-aging cosmetic surgery support. This was the answer to years of
self-destruction and the war against gravity.
Botox, facelifts, tummy tucks, lip injections and the list goes on…
“Hope I
die before I get…old.”
-The
Who
I
supported the post surgery experience with remedies to decrease bruising,
decrease inflammation and swelling, and to help the integrity of the connective
tissue healing. Natural remedies are
quite good for this. I also did lymphatic
drainage massage and other soft tissues therapies.
I
was elevated to genius status when one of the artist’s plastic surgeon told him
that he had never seen someone heal so quickly from plastic surgery
before. “What ever you are doing is
working brilliantly.” The good news is
that this opened him and the others up to the fact that, “Hey, the snake oil
really works!”
By the end of the tour I had them on
anti-aging diets and supplements. I was
also doing acupuncture facelifts for the spots that the Botox had failed. I really didn’t mind how they came around to
believing in Natural Medicine. I am
just happy they did.
