>Hi Bleauberry
I know your motives are meant to help people. That is without question. But the volumes of alt health theories out there will require the dedication of government and science to determine what is true and what is false. It is beyond the scope of an ordinary man or woman to achieve this task.
There was a time where I read day and night on these topics and ran around hollering that I had found the silver bullet. Well I always ended up a little poorer and disapointed when this bullet was not the silver one. I am fatigued and no longer have the money to sift through the alternative health haystack. As I said it is a task beyond the scope of any one man.
I am now happier that the battle is over. Reading those books and going to doctors who would cure me no longer has any appeal. I have been disappointed to often.I now just go to my conventional physician who practices allopathic medicine. I go to their specialists when warranted. Yes I understand the drugs can have dangerous side effects. I understand the drugs suppress symtoms and often do not cure.
I eat as well as I can and exercise as much as I can. I also use my knowledge of drugs to decide what to take and what not to take.
Life is much simpler now. I don't scour the book store for books on the latest miracle that turns out to be another lead balloon. The constant scouring and reading is over. I accept what is out there. Some day more will be available.
I still believe the alt health haystack of claims holds a silver bullet somewhere.
