Health

Welcome. My name is Cheryl Smith and I will be hosting the Health Portfolio. We will take up the cause of total health; physical, spiritual and mental.

I will share my personal experience with each of these. I am a cancer patient, diagnosed many times with a myriad of so-called mental health issues, and have been transformed spiritually through the cancer journey.

The “treatment” I have been engaged in of late has been more effective than any I have yet received. However, no one size fits all, and we want to learn what has worked for you.

We will attack stigma, shine light on cracks in the healthcare system for poor people, and try to inspire and uplift each other.

Feel free to contact me any time with your questions or ideas.

Peacock is community based.
