Organic Herbal Detox What is this?

​

Currently, there is not 1, Organic alternative Treatment center dedicated to helping assist/relieve symptoms that arise while detoxing from harmful substances like Alcohol and especially Opioids, Benzodiazepines, and methamphetamines. People can literally die from these detoxifications. We have testified before the OLCC as well as the State senate about the harmful side effects of the misuse of alternative herbs to prove we understand all sides of this light-filled "alternative" as professionals who have paved the way for proper Manufacturing and use of Alternative Herbs.

 

We never sell products, we display and talk about them, never upselling or even suggestive selling except when asked. We lead by example and denounce all forms of sales, we do need to pay our overhead bills so we can keep offering these services for free to the public. We are 100% donation funded as a bootstrap (startup) currently in fundraising mode. We always give our own testimony when speaking, never claiming anything to be 100% true.

I know that I do not Know -Pythagoras, never at Ohmpdx.org shall you receive any sort of sales energy as to why we won't suggest anything herbal to clients (alt herb products) rather, we allow them to openly ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you... For the effectiveness of our help needs to be respected and not GIVEN away, NEVER DO WE OFFER SAMPLES! All we ask is for the client to truly be genuine and we will help as best as we can.

​

Every person is helped on an individual basis. We wish more to seek, to open our metaphorical door, and then walk through with an undoubting willingness to achieve success regardless of how often we fail, or however long it takes to get through.

 

Please, help yourself first before helping others by asking for help, asking for this healing, and place the thoughts of Universal Health and Light first, planted as a seed you unto the healing light, and please, try to be open to Reiki as it has helped millions of people exponentially.

 

We use "12-steps to Recovery" as a baseline for addiction that is 100% self-paced, and client-based. No one is forced to do anything. We use proven and effective methods that are guaranteed if the client works it. with OHM's holistic healing and mindfulness practices/services.
