....I would certainly caution against dumping all allopathic medication and

leaping headlong into the nature cure system. I know of a relative right now,

who is on a sinking ship, with some undiagnosed, possibly liver, ailment. He

has sworn by nature cure for much of his life, and it has kept him in good

trim upto his present age of 75, but things are now taking a turn for the

worse. He will not consent to so much as a blood test, so it is not even

possible

to know exactly what is going on. I know it is unlikely that people from the

West would be that radical in their pursuit of nature cure but still, just a

caution...

 

 

Dear fg ~ thanks for bringing me up to speed on your actual whereabouts. I

don't have a degree in karmanometrics either. : / Sounds like an

interesting subject to pursue, though.

 

Actually, I am the last, well probably not the last, but somewhere in the

middle, person who would throw caution to the wind in terms of western medicine.

My belief has always been, call the shaman and the doctor. : ) So far

western medicine hasn't helped much with my various ailments, but neither has

Oriental Medicine, Accupuncture or supplements, except a few select ones that

my body doesn't have a hissy fit over taking. I guess I am hoping that there

is some way to stop the decline, or putting it another way, the worsening of

my symptoms. Dr. Vasant Lad, an ayurvedic doctor in Albuquerque, has been

recommended to me, and at some point, probably next year, if I can get someone

to take me there, I'll go see him. Or perhaps combine a trip to see Amma when

She comes to Santa Fe again with a trip to the good doctor. And I will check

out that blog site you gave me. Blessings ~ Linda
