Thank you!<br />I have just begun to read the wonderful books you sent me.

Nothing else. There is no hope for his cancer, there is no this, there is no that.<br /><br />I sat until dawn for weeks searching all over the world via the Internet and learned what other countries were doing, trying, experimenting.<br />I found some obscure references in some Italian University and some in some French reference books. Old remedies against inflammation, natural sources.<br /><br />So far we are keeping the enemy at bay. I believe our arrogance, after all we are modern scientists, is what keeps us from discovering the potential if not of curing at least of alleviating the problems that affect us. If I were Queen for a day my first order of business would be to send the lobby industry packing for good and would recognize that what we today call "alternative" medicine is what could bring the answer to many problems where chemicals do not help at all.<br /><br />I am glad Sophie has a Chinese <br />amah in the form of the tea lady as I call her. Her compassion is perhaps the main ingredient in those packets of herbs and that is why they work.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-51626371783490551072009-08-19T20:48:44.077-07:002009-08-19T20:48:44.077-07:00I think of you and Sophie every day.

Your experience in that jungle is pure gold - thank you so much for passing along the wisdoms you have found .......<br /><br />I live in the land of suburbs and yearly well-child check ups. When was the last time I obeyed the decree of the well-child check up? It's been years. Well probably ever since our chiropractor cured my middle child of an ear infection. It was a neck adjustment, ear adjustment and willow bark ear drops. She hasn't had another ear infection since. At the time, I had her lined up for an appt. to get her ear looked at and then the pbligatory round of antibiotics. I was on the phone to the chiro to change my appt. and he suggested I keep it and bring her along for a quick look in her ear. When has an MD ever suggested a 2 for 1 deal? It's always separate appts and separate co-pays.<br /><br />Now I resort regularly to chiropractic, willow bark, tea tree oil, lavender, calendula and apple cider vinegar for all sorts of ailments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818795902981871173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-14074531383487245152009-08-19T09:04:18.816-07:002009-08-19T09:04:18.816-07:00Thanks for this post.

That was the article I used when I was arguing with a guy in Mexico (an American, of course- and a Texan!) about health care. He got his facts from Glenn Beck. I got mine from the New Yorker. He liked his better.<br />You get your facts from your life.<br />There is NO arguing with that. <br />Bless you, bless your family.
