You know Peter...sometimes you almost come across as "nice."  There
are other times, you come across as a former troubled youth, who has
never
made a name for himself, until now, you think you are someone
special.   You might
find if you treated people a little better than you do, that it is
very possible that others
might treat you in the matter that they wish to be treated.

It kind of worries me Peter, that for all of the number of people that
protest, as Probert
refers to it as "fringe" treatments, in this newsgroup and other
places as hard as some
involved in it do, that why you would even put yourself in such a bad
spot, is it because
you believe the story teller or you believe the story??  That's why I
use the best of
both worlds; and use common sense when it comes to making those
choices to use
either one of the options available to me.  I do not know want to be
like my friends,
who take so many pills during a day that it looks like they are
swallowing more pills
than they are intaking food.  When I ask some of them what the doctor
is doing to
correct the problem besides pushing pills on them, they cannot answer
the question.
Some of them are literally addicted to pain pills because they have
taken them for
so long and without them they cannot function.    Instead of getting
to the root of the
problem, and finding out what really is causing the pain, and coming
up with a game
plan, in that 15 minutes the doctor has to spend with them, they just
prescribe drugs.
You want to know why people are turning to alternative health care???
They want
answers to their problems, and correction of their problems---they
don't want a new
drug.  They want to feel better, without having to rely on even more
drugs.

My question to you is, "do you want to continue to be part of the
problem, or part of the solution?"
Is it important for you to be part of a gang, or be an individual
thinker?  Are the stories you've
been told about alternative healthcare and how "evil" it is, and how
harmful it is, and that the
people that practice it, are doing, "voodoo medicine," so powerful
that you actually believe them, or
are the story tellers so convincing that you believe every word that
they tell you just because of who
they think they are?

I can only imagine how tough it is for someone like you to see the
other side of the coin.  I once only
saw the conventional side; that was until I got sick, and the
conventional side had no answers for me,
and I had no choice but to step out of the box and discover what the
other side could do for me, that's
why now I use the best of both worlds.

You want Jan to treat you better, then you lead by example.  You want
Ilena to treat you better, then you
lead by example. You want me to treat you better, then you lead by
example.  You want to hang out with
people that believe they have the right to control your life, and the
lives of others?  Good for you, but
please respect that there are people that were  born free, and us
altie types were born free.....you want
respect; respect is earned......lead by example.
