Re: Even worse
Its not so much that the people are idiots, they are just brainwashed. As a society we tend to deify the medical profession. Next time you see a traditional MD, just look around and see how much of his "stuff" advertises drug companies. With too many doctors being controlled, if not totally brainwashed by the pharmaceudical companies, and we know they are motivated more by profit than by actually helping people, then its easy to see how our culture has gotten so messed up about health, and why alternitive medicine is not widely accepted or even understood.
One of the main reasons I am here is because tradtional medicine was not helping me. I kept getting more and more prescriptions to treat the symptoms but I wasn't getting better. If I stopped the medicine I found I was even worse off than before. When this back injury made me lose my job and the insurance I was forced to look for alternative solutions. As much as I hate this constant pain, in ways I am thankful for all that has happened because I am finally able to think outside the box and take responsibility for my own health. I am still hoping for what Shelley calls radient health and an end to the pain. But I no longer just want to feel better, I want to BE better, as in healed, not just drugged.
