 Topic: MUD THERAPY: Reverse Pain and Support Cellular Rejuvenation

Julie E Reveals the Overlooked Root of Chronic Health Issues is Scar Tissue

For many, pain, fatigue, or hormonal imbalances persist despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Julie E, MPH, RD, QRA, says the missing piece could be scars. Surgical marks, C-sections, injuries, and even childhood traumas often act as interference fields, blocking energy flow, stressing organs, and creating problems that surface years later.
