In 1987 I suffered from severe arthritis in my left hand, which was painful and crippling. At the time I was working in my home town, Toronto, on a TV movie called “A Christmas Wife,” which starred Jason Robards, Julie Harris and Don Francks. Around the corner, there was a homeopathic store, Thompson‚s, that had been in business since 1868. I decided to see whether they could help me. Within days of starting to take the homeopathic remedies I experienced a tremendous relief of my symptoms. I have kept my arthritis painless and under good control ever since.

My personal experiences sold me on homeopathy, and I decided to bring the remedies to the movies -- or rather to film sets where I work as a First Assistant Director. Making films requires intensive work, and a healthy crew is essential in order to produce at peak efficiency.

I bought some remedies and diagnosing books and began offering help to crew and cast members suffering from common ailments. Over time and with experience my kit grew larger, and included flower and herbal remedies as well. Due to the success of the remedies, “Dr. John” was often called for on the set. The remedies relieved many ailments: injuries; physical, mental and emotional distress; stiff muscles after stunts; performance jitters; and other problems caused by the stress of little rest or over-work. Today, my kit is an indispensable part of any set on which I work, and production managers are more than happy to pay for the cost of the remedies, because they are so successful.

Although I carry a large kit and several diagnosing books, there are some remedies that seem to be the most commonly used, whether in the production office, on the film set or in any abnormal physical or emotional situation that arises. With this in mind, I assembled the John Board Hollywood Survival Kit. It incorporates useful remedies for the common ailments that people experience most often.

It is my hope that more people will experience the benefits of the alternative remedies in this kit, and will be able to help themselves and others to well-being without facing any side effects.

We all have symptoms that bother us and make our daily lives a problem. Whether its something as simple as a cold or a headache or as annoying as stress or a hangover. We go rushing off to the drugstore to get whatever remedy we can from the counter. We are in such a rush that we ignore the list of side effects that comes in the packet. Yes that piece of paper that you always throw away without even looking at it. The medications may or may not work but drugs always come with side effects of some kind. You have to ask yourself whether the side effects are worse than the original ailment.

Even the drug companies who make the products are forced to talk about the side effects when they advertise on TV. You see the blissful shots of people who are being helped by whatever drug is being promoted and then you have to listen to a list of possible side effects that is more frightening to think about than what the drug is supposed to fix.

Now you can use remedies that will help whatever symptom you are trying to cure without causing any side effects that will make you miserable. I created my Original Hollywood Survival Kit in order to help people on the sets of movies and TV shows that I have worked on. Now I want to share those amazing holistic remedies with you in an easy to carry and easy to purchase version called The Hollywood Survival Kit Pocket Pack.

The Hollywood Survival Kit Pocket Pack contains the 5 most used remedies from the original kit. They will help with ailments such as headaches, anxiety, insomnia, colds, fatigue, shock, stress, and even hangovers.

The Hollywood Survival Kit Pocket Pack can change your life and if you carry it with you then you can use it to change the lives of people around you.
