Scholarship Spotlight: Meet Scholarship Recipient Alejandro Salazar
Seven years ago, Alejandro Salazar noticed unusual symptoms. “I had extreme insomnia as well as extensive digestive issues,” said Alejandro. “No one could diagnosis it. A naturopath finally explained that exposure to black mold in my apartment was triggering my immune system. I tried everything to address the symptoms, including taking herbs to detox my liver, but nothing solved it. My friend, Marvin Gross, had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and had been to OHI several times. When he heard my story, he recommended I go, too. Marvin told me to apply for a scholarship, and said he would pay for my first week, and a scholarship would pay for the other two weeks. Marvin’s recommendation changed my life. I was awarded the scholarship and arrived at OHI San Diego on June 15.”
