Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Portlandia season 3 tonight to Steve Xeno
Thanks again, Steve. Another big part of it for me is finding ways to help my family with their various ailments. My Mom and Dad both are now on so many Western meds that I'd be nervous recommending natural supplements. Though now that my Dad is out of the woods with the killer bacteria, I mentioned echinecea tea as a way to boost his immune system. But even in this instance, I'm a little nervous about how it might combine harmfully with his meds. So I look into any form of energy medicine that comes along. My youngest sister has a rare autoimmune disease. But she is open to and has pursued alternative health care along with allopathic treatments. And just this past year my younger sister had to have part of the bone in her arm removed to be replaced by cement and rods. She continues to be in a lot of pain. I'd hate to see her go on pain meds and she's unlikely to. But if I can find a natural supplement or energy work that can help her with this, that would be great and it's definitely worth my time and money to pursue. To Xeno: The thing is, so many spiritual seeking boomers are now aging. And they see or have seen the problems with allopathic medicine. For the sake of their aging bodies, they search for better ways to deal all this. And yes, most is psychosomatic. I think even allopathic health care practitioners recognize this. I've said before that I think a lot of souls incarnated at this time because it looked like a RELATIVELY easy time to grow and unfold full potential. I agree with you that there is no path, etc. But it's pointless to live that truth simply based on intellectual understanding. I think we're living in an amazing time when there's support to live this truth based on our own experience.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Portlandia season 3 tonight to Steve Xeno
Share...reading some of the comments here brought to mind a blog piece I wrote awhile back entitled 'Carousel of Physicians.' It's a memoir type piece about part of my own search toward healing and wellness from chronic illnesses. Have you ever read Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Illness: As Perceived by the Patient? I know there is lots of info out there now on mind/body illness, etc. Anatomy of an Illness was one of the first I read and I still go back to it (in my head) from time to time. Here's a link to the PDF if you (or anyone in your family) is interested: http://playpen.meraka.csir.co.za/~acdc/education/Dr_Anvind_Gupa/Learners_Library_7_March_2007/Resources/books/Anatomy.pdf I realize you may not be the one endeavoring to overcome any chronic health condition(s) and I am not assuming that. I hope your folks and sister are able to find a bit more wellness along the way. Caring for aging parents with illness conditions can be taxing.

Hey Share, there are no proper documented scientific evidence that alternative therapies work. There are no standardized parameters regarding herbal medicines, besides a lot of herbal medicines contain toxins that damage kidneys if used for too long a period of time. However, there are a lot of connections between the mind and the body. Both are interlinked. I forgot the name of that therapy in which you consciously see your body's healing system and immune system healing your body. This has to be done regularly. They have discovered 40 different auto-immune disorders and the most common is diabetes and arthritis in which your immune system destroys the cell lining in your knees. Tell your sister to hang on with grit. With stem cell research, regenerative medicine and other research going on, some path-breaking cure might come any time around. --- Share Long wrote: Thanks again, Steve.
