A retired Medical Office Nurse/Administrator/Consultant.

Lena's  marketing experience and a great deal of her health knowledge was gained while building medical practices and growing them into successful businesses for twenty years. Those years served her by gaining  insights into illnesses, diseases, people, doctor’s attitudes and the way medicine is practiced. That knowledge came about during her process of setting up an office with merely two people, she and the doctor. She not only managed the  front office but was back office nurse, PR person, insurance clerk and patient advocate. Gradually growing a practice and adding personnel as needed getting it up on successful footing and then going on to do it all over again about every 3 ½ to 4 years. She sat up a total of 44 offices throughout Southern California, sometimes multiples at the same time. Did home nursing visits to evaluate patients and advise doctor as to patients need.

She states, "I learned that prescriptions and doctors aren’t always the best treatment for illnesses and that there are alternatives, which a lot of doctors don’t know about nor do they want to and the drug industry is not about to let them know, but a few do know but aren't passing on that information to their patients for fear of peer pressure and loss of respect in the medical community. I understand their trepidation but have no  respect for the lack of back bone in that attitude."
