\"My name is Michael J. Marx NMD, Ph.D , I have worked all around the world as well as all every state in the US (Congo Africa, Ethiopia Africa, India, just to name a few). I attended Baylor and ASU and I am a Board Certified Naturopathic Medical Doctor, specialized in Immunology. Upon my graduation in 2000 I was offered a job that changed my life, I had the pleasure of traveling the world not just treating patients but learning from them as well. In 2007 I was told that I have an Auto-Immune Disorder that was brought on by environmental factors. So rather then look at life as a death sentence, I took it by the horns and decided that I was not going to be another casualty to \\\"BIG PHARMA \\\". I was told that I only had nine months left to my life. As a father, husband and doctor I was not going to give up at that point and my wife and I decided to start our own wellness clinic to give patients a choice in alternative medical care. We advise and teach our patient\\\'s that healing is not just writing scripts or pushing medications, but rather show them that there are options from Natural Medical Doctors as well\\\". We completed a journey too start our adventure this year, in 2008 we were investing in Foreclosed homes Part Time, as of a few weeks ago things started falling into place for us too do this Full Time. It was truly a long Journey with realizations that no matter how long it may take Never Give Up and Keep Moving Forward. Thank you too everyone that help us not by giving monetarily but by giving of themselves.
