Taking Searching-Alternatives to the Next Level- Input Welcomed!

January 12, 2004

Hi everyone…

First of all I would like to thank each and every one of you for

participating to make this board the success that it is… And I

think it is safe to say, after a year and a half, we are aptly

endowed in content for the overall issues of alternative medicine-

ranging from policy to specific ailments and solutions for them.

But does anyone else think it is time to take it to the next level?

Sharing information is great, and we will most definitely continue

to do that, but I feel the need to move from " book " information

to " real life " experience. I would like to explore the interest of

everyone in collectively assessing and verifying the validity of

alternative health solutions…

I know there are thousands of things to look at, so then the

question becomes how do we decide where to begin? I think I want to

focus on single homeopathic remedies, herbal single remedies and

then herbal combination in that order. Why? Well, homeopathic

remedies can be found available in many, many places and belladonna

30c is the same if it is bought from a brand, or b brand, so it

takes out the commercial issue.

So for example I would like to propose the verification of the

homeopathic remedy arnica. It is a great remedy for mechanical

injuries and black and blue bruises. Among the elderly it is safe

and effective for clearing up the skin on the back of the hands,

around the nose and the face for those dark blue to grayish,

sometimes with small specks of blood, marks that are so common. So

the idea could go something like this: everyone who has experienced

this can raise their hand, and I would probably do this through the

polling here at S-A.

But I must admit, the idea is not fully worked out… Which means I

am incredibly open to input here. Please feel free to post your

ideas and suggestions to Searching-Alternatives. But let me

clarify, any product, commercial ideas should be sent to me

personally off the site, this project is not about promoting

products.

So, if you are ready to go to the next step, let me know your ideas…

Sincerely,

Misty L. Trepke
