| Leah provided natural healthcare to thousands of Clearlake residents over a period of 25 years. On any given day, her storefront, which was stocked with a basic array of nutritional supplements, fresh fruit and vegetable juices, a handful of herbal extracts, and a good selection of homeopathics, equaled any bustling medical clinic in volume of people seen and variety of conditions treated. She would spend hours, days and weeks educating people about the basic do's and don'ts about diet and lifestyle; she would outline a basic vitamin and herbal program to follow, and then send them on their way. Over a period of 10 years, I observed her successfully treat numerous cases of acute and chronic diseases including infections, asthma, heart disease, cancers and crippling rheumatoid arthritis. Echinacea was the staple of her herbal protocol. She recommended adding 10 drops of the fluid extract (1:1 concentration) to four ounces of water, three to four times daily. |
| At age 89, Leah could be seen in front of the Santa Cruz County building and governmental offices holding a sign protesting the federal FDA attack against vitamins and herbs. The sign read: |
| Born a homeopath |
| Raised on vitamins |
| Raised on herbs |
| At 89, still going strong! |
| At 97, Leah is still alive and feisty in a nursing home in Santa Cruz, California. |
