Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Dear Group, When you ask a question to this group or any other group (or to most people for that matter) you are likely to get a (1) partially right answer mixed with some misinformation, (2) a wrong answer but, which may be intended well, or (3) a completly correct answr but the signifigance may be lost because of all of the other possible answers you may receive but you do not have the necessary background/thinking to evaluate properly the answers that you may recieve. The problem is that there is so much differing information from all levels of sources in alternative health. Some from quite strange sources. On top of that the entire field is attacked by false deliberate misinformation. I have never met anyone who can be right all of the time when it comes to alternative health. The answer is self education. It is the only answer for the majority of those seeking answers for optimal health. The field of alternative health is too fragmented, with too little resources to show the valid in a light which will make it stand above the invalid. Politics and government have kept the alternatives to the fringe on purpose to squash them as much as possible. We either must have the personal money to buy expertise in this area or we must become our own doctors. You cannot go to a group and find your faceless unlicensed doctor on line who can diagnose and treat from an email (no matter how much they think they can). No one really wants to be their own doctor. We all would like to find all of the answers as easy as possible. You can go to many allopathic doctors and get many different answers or you can go to many different alternative health practioners and get many different answers. If you have enough money and judgment you will usually, over time, arrive at the information that you want/ think that you need/ require. But barring those resources, you better learn all that you can by reading books, articles, studies, methods, etc. and by taking in a quantity of information and little by little we develope judgement and understanding for our own health. Part of that self education is to rid one's self of a lifetime of misinformation and to rid one's self of thinking in those ways that caused us to be ignorant, non critically thinking, misinformed, semi helpless health consumers. There are some 30 thousand articles in our archives here. The large bulk of them are on health and not political. We have accumulated a lot of links to relevant sites on our links library page for our members to use for self education or research. We have set up seperate web based forums/message boards which has information seperated by classifications. We have programs which enables members to download all of the archives to your own personal computers so that you search the archives on your own computers. We have lots of resources for those members who want/need to learn. Unfortunately most do not take advantage of these resources.
