Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Moderator's Note- Rocky, yet another wonderful post. Thank you.. I would just like to add that as helpful as this symptom checker is- just knowing the label of the dis-ease does not cure the dis-ease and can often be a source of further entanglement. I have had many people tell me they can't do anything for their health because they have xyz and nothing can be done for xyz or that they can only do abc because only abc works on xyz. Knowing the " label " for your disease can sometimes make people feel they are in a box- and then their dis-ease is no longer treated as unique and deserving individual specific attention but lumped together with everyone else who deservingly (or not) has been given that label- and the resulting treatment plan that is automatically given for everyone with that label. It is a wonderful tool but I just wanted to suggest that it is a double edge sword. ps- Why else do you think they would spend so much money on creating such a tool and offer it for free.. When have you noticed such generosity for the sake of generosity in the allopathic world? But again, my 2 cents..
