Keep taking your pills for heavens sake:)
I tried everything too. Homeopathies for a year, no supplements or drugs at all. Naturopaths for several years, while taking oxycontin for pain. Natural stuff could not alleviate the pain. Many years nothing but talk therapy which also got me no where.
I think the same thing. If you are already healthy and want to stay that was I believe in natural healing of foods and exercise and hydrotherapies, sauna's to get rid of toxins and herbs too. These are minutia problems for healthy people who perhaps are going over a bump in their lives. I also believe in placebo effects. I think that is why a lot of people will swear God healed them with prayer. If I believe something is so innately real and has complete control over me my bodies likely to respond to it. Studies have been done and there are hospitals that use prayer and doctors that say it helps. It makes sense. If I believed with all my heart that eating a piece of bark would say heal a wound quicker. It is likely that if I ate it the wound would heal quicker. Call it "bark prayer".
Okay so I am cynical:)
Take care,
Oky
By the way my naturopathic brother tore some fascia in his arm. To my utter astonishment he does not believe he can eat; will with persistence and conviction, take herbs or homeopathy for it. He told my family he is considering surgery. I think he should meditate on it. That would do the trick no doubt:)
