Question

[Guest guest]

GreetingsIf its not an allergic reaction. It can also be a bacteria infection. A couple of years ago we had similar area type rash after coming home from a stay in the hospital. No matter what we did nothing would get rid of it. Moisture and heat as in being hot outside would irritate it. It turned out to be bacterial. Was given a topical cream to apply very thinly 2 times a day. Needless to say it went away. a lotJodie Hamilton <jhamilton002 wrote: I

It sounds like heat rash to me. Try witch

hazel (antiseptic).

Inversely, I have seen practitioners who haven't got a clue as to what

they're doing, but they're very sure of themselves, even in their ignorance.

They do perfectly well (if not very well) in both clinical outcomes and

confidence among their patients. This statement applies more to acupuncture

than herbs.

I don't think that caution and confidence mutually exclusive. You can be

very cautious and very confident at the same time. It isn't one or the

other, but the cautious part should likely remain internal while the

confidence can be shared with the patient.

 

I am curious as to how my excellent colleagues manage this skill.

The problem in my mind is the battle between the natural tendency of those

who want to heal to put the patient's needs over that of the practitioner.

While successful practitioners often need to be self-promoting which is

putting the needs of the practitioner over the patient. Best thing you can

do is be all about the patient, and let them do your marketing. (word of

mouth, testimonials, etc.)

 

The hard part is generating some really good healing responses even in the

absence of your own history of thousands of clinical successes. Experience

does bring with it a natural air of confidence.

 

My favorite teacher says that if you can get up to 75% of patients getting

better, that's a really good doctor. Anybody who says something ridiculous

like " 100% get better " is an embarrassment to us all, but perhaps a

financially successful practitioner.

Hello,

I missed part of this thread, and may be way off base in my reply, but I had

a practiioner who was very arrogant, constantly telling his patents how

great he was. I no longer go to him. Of course arrogance and confidence are

not the same thing at all.

Hi Al and All;

 

" but the cautious part should likely remain internal while the

confidence can be shared with the patient. "

 

That's a good point.

 

" The hard part is generating some really good healing responses even in the

absence of your own history of thousands of clinical successes. "

 

I'm not quite getting what you mean here. Are you talking about a junior

practitioner?

 

" My favorite teacher says that if you can get up to 75% of patients getting

I agree completely. Success is also difficult to measure, and maybe we buy too

much into the modern medical myth of total cures. We have, in CM, the saying

that nothing is curable, but that if we are smart we can manage our condition so

as to achieve balance and health.

This is why I won't treat someone if they are unwilling to manage their

lifestyle and personal habits.

On a slightly different tack, failure is too often looked at in a

one-dimensional fashion. Unless we are perfectly clear about why we failed,

there is always an element of mystery present which should dissuade us from

saying, definitively, " it didn't work for me " . I appreciate comments like " It

didn't seem to work for me at that time " . Why? Because it creates an atmosphere

of possibility, instead of the feeling of going through a list, burning

bridges!!

Of course, some bridges may need to be burned.

 

Thanks Al,

Hugo

Yeah, that didn't come out right.

 

My point is that when you have 30 patients every morning as many do in the

hospitals or clinics of China, it doesn't take too long to build up a long

list of clinical outcomes. This is the experience that gives rise to a

certain level of confidence that is strong enough to prevent the need for

arrogance.

 

You know, it's like yin deficiency heat. A lack of one thing gives rise to

an apparent excess of its opposite. Or to put it into yin/yang terms,

" internal deficiency gives rise to external excess " . Lack of confidence

gives rise to boasting, etc.

I think she may have to get used to black..

 

bleaching everything which weakens the fabric and redying is my only

thought really unless another darker color could over come the black and

you could dye them that way..

 

I am not expert - just have a lot of pink formally white shirts..

I dont know if anything will get it out.  dont put them in the dryer.  try a

bleach for colored clothes, it may help a little.  go on to answers, and

put this question in home and garden.

Try washing the clothes again and use baking soda and vinegar.

I have had the misfortune of turning whites red and had success with Oxi

Clean. My only concern is the lack of ingredients listed on the packaging.

I know it's not a " natural " product, but sometimes our options are limited.

 

 

 

I think I would try hand washing one item with the baking soda/vinegar

option as suggested. This may be your best solution.

How are you giving her the cesium? Transdermal with DMSO? That is the best

way. If it is killing cancer, she could have high levels of potassium in the

blood, as that is released by the dying cancer cells. The solution for that is

IV saline, but blood tests are required to know.

I know that some of you hear are knowledgeable on this.. What crystal/s are

specifically good for emotional and spiritual healing? How do you use them for

this task?
