<PRE>Some of the info given out is been good, informative, and interesting. But

I

do think that just reading something out of a book is not always the best

medicine, what one of my books says, another book says something completely

different.. I even read in a book how to treat :shock with herbs: WOW!! I

would never make a cup of herbal tea for someone in shock. my first reaction

would be: ER I do believe some diseases cannot be treated ::just:: with

herbal medicine, as in bleeding ulcers, I think he needs to be seen by a

doctor. and the gal with the rash, that sounds like an allergic reaction to

something(it happened to me, ended up in emergency medical walk in) please

see a doctor. I myself have a heart condition and I do take :traditional

meds: and I am also looking into herbal supplements//remedies but with much

research and making sure they don't superced each other. I hope I have

offended no one.

No, Dian, what you say is fine. Thank you. You make good points. I've

been kind of scared sometimes to post because I thought people wouldn't

like something, but it is amazing. Everyone just takes what they can

use, apparently, and leaves the rest. I haven't seen any flaming.

Thank you, all. What a great group. And there are so many hundreds of

us!

I Agree , get a diagnosis first if it is something you are unsure

about , like your heart or bleeding ulcers ..etc...., then see if it

is something that can be treated by an alternative way ,or see if an

alternative way can be used along with tradtional medical

treatment.And research things throughly , talk to your doctor about

alternative ways , using herbs and such , if you have to take a

prescription medicine make sure a herb or vitamin or supplement is

not going to react or interfer with that medicine..(talk to your

pharmacist too , he actually is the one who knows if a traditional

med is going to react with a vitamin or supplement , if he doesnt ,

make him look it up) ....like taking garlic with blood thinning

medicine for a heart condition , example. my mom has a serious heart

condition , has to take certain meds, including a blood thinner , but

she was also taking all kinds of supplements , etc ( she is into

alterantive ways ) but her blood work kept coming back all messed

up , the dr had to keep changing her dosage , still things werent

right , finally I had her give me a list of all she was taking( meds

and supplements) and dosages , I checked them all out on a RX site (

one like the drs and pharmacies use) I found that the garlic she was

taking was messing with her blood thinner , I had her stop using the

garlic , finally her blood work started coming out right and she was

feeling better, they havent had to change her dosage now in a long

time...,,some things just cant be aways treated with herbs and such

such as an ear infection ( anyone seen an ear drum that has burst

because of infection , I have , not pretty ) you may be able to help

prevent an ear infection but you cant cure it once it has started ,

get medical help then . ..sorry just wanted to throw in my two cents

worth..lol..Lisa
