Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Dear friends, I must vent. All my life i always believed in the natural way of healing such as using supplements instead of anti-biotics. Thank G-d i have never had a problem and have had 100% success. I visit a chiropractor / knesiologist and she is brilliant and amazing and she keeps me in tip top shape when i need an extra boost. My problem is the world around me. I recently got pretty sick and have been taking the " longer but shorter " route by resting, and taking the proper vitamins and doing all that was recommended. All my friends and family know that im still " recovering " since all my originally scheduled plans have been cancelled, and i have found it very difficult to lie or bend the truth on what was wrong with me and what im doing to get better. Through conversations it always comes out that instead of getting standard blood tests, my kneisiolgist has used muscle testing to conclude what the problem was. As you can imagine most of my loved ones cant understand how I can trust such a method and why its taking so long for me to get better. I haven't changed what I believe; I just find it hard to be honest with my friends for I know what kind of attitude I will get in response. I am sure I am not the only one who gets " slack " from others on my using alternative methods. How have you handled your friends / family? Do you just lie, or tell them its none of their business? Its so annoying and stressful to have to explain to people these things for they don't understand and ultimately they think its not trustful and crazy. Any suggestions on how to deal with these people? Thanks so much, Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 You could try the old how do you know if you don't try. Most everyone I know has taken their cue from me and has changed over. I also tell them that western medicine does have its place and is still very good. But what we need to be concerned about is the pharmaceutical companies that just want to get rich and not really help. Deborah <gubertush Friday, June 29, 2007 12:20:30 PM I Need To Vent !

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I just tell them " you get to choose your method of healing, and I get to choose mine " . Not many people around me understand alternative methods, but my choices are truly none of their business. Samala, Renee ---- Any suggestions on how to deal with these people?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Dear Deborah , One step worse than the flack you received is getting turned in for medical neglect for your son with CF....I have went through it three times over!!!!....I have learned to say very little....it is very hard because as a single mom of four I am not always as consistent as i need to be with him and when I get off my natural treatment that is when he truly gets sick...and so everyone including my family will blame " my whacko ways of treatment " ....BUT I know it is the very thing that keeps him alive ...but it is such a shame when facing a life threatening disease parents no longer have a say in their treatment ....in the state of Minnesota the doctors brought me thru a legal battle for my son until I signed a statement I would do no more natural....I then moved to Florida !! ......I have very strong thoughtsw and experiences regarding this...so I totally understand!!!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 All of us need the human connection sometimes, but it helps if you volunteer as little information as possible because people do have opinions and don't mind giving them, whether judgemental or not. The easy way to avoid this is just to not discuss your challenges to other people, but I've never been able to do that myself, so I can't really advise you to. I'll keep you in my prayers. , " Deborah " <gubertush wrote: > > Dear friends, > I must vent. > > All my life i always believed in the natural way of healing such as > using supplements instead of anti-biotics.

If they persist, I tell them that I have never been healed of any condition by an allopathic Dr. and I relate some horror stories of my experiences with such. Many of them have followed my suggestions of herbal remedies and have had good results but your average person does not really believe that it is the correct way to go. I do have a cerificate in herbal medicine and only time and money have prevented me from going further. I do a lot of research on my own. As the Bible states, " herbs were put on the earth for the healing of mankind " and that is enough for me. I am 70 years old and have no condition and take no meds. I am now taking herbs for bone density and also magnesium with Epsom Salts baths. I am still able to do all I need to do. I eat organic food as much as possible. My philosophy has always been that it is none of my business what you think of me. Peace be with you, Cecile ( thyme) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 People challenging how you decide to pursue health can be tough, Deborah. I've heard a bit of the same since I also pursue a holistic approach to stay well. People are used to what we've been told/sold for so many years here in the U.S. and think any approach other than surgery and prescription meds is crazy. There are two ways I've handled this. One, I don't tell everyone everything. I choose what I tell a person. There's no need for each person to know every bit of how I am approaching something or why. Two, and this is where I stand most often now, I know what I know what I know. If someone wants to challenge that, I remain calm and confident. I'm not going to be defensive and I'm not going to go on attack mode either. I believe how I believe; however you want to believe is your right - that's how I handle it. I don't need to argue with them or prove my point. They are where they are, and that's fine. I might mention a few things, comment on how holistic therapy improved x for me, etc. Then I just let it go. Perhaps they'll realize one day or perhaps they are meant to pursue that other road. Hang in there, and know you're on the right track.
