Pam is a Certified Nutrition Consultant and owner of Act Natural Health & Wellness in Torrington CT.
Seven years ago, she lost her father to a horrible death, which left her mother devastated and suffering from PTSD. Since then, Pam’s mother was prescribed several drugs, including Xanax, Dulera, Trazodone, Lorazepam, Diazepam, and Gabapentin. This resulted in several brushes with death, acute renal failure, bleeding ulcers, memory loss, withdrawal, sedation, hallucinations, and the onset of dementia.
While working to wean her mother off the cocktail of drugs, Pam learned about the seriousness risks associated with these prescribed medications. She joined W-BAD, as a State Rep for Connecticut, to help raise awareness, so that others are not harmed in the same way.
Through Act Natural Health & Wellness, she has held several Walk/Run for Your Life – Food & Mood Potluck events on July 11 to help celebrate World Benzodiazepine Awareness Day. See Event Page for details.
