May 2012

I have been having a few challenges lately. Personal ones, I wont go into them-nothing health related for those of you who were thinking that. They have been incredibly frustrating beyond words.

It has made me feel really upset, and even angry-angrier than I thought I was capable of being.

As I was driving down the road today entering into a state of spiraiing negativity I thought about my worst fear.

Many new patients come in here horrified when I suggest drinking raw milk. I do not suggest it for my IC patients until they are well into my program and doing well enough to tolerate it. But, for little ones, I often will recommend it right away (if they do not have IC). However, their parents often feel like this is a huge risk and copt out of that advice, which, I understand. If one does not have experience with something, they are not likely to try it on their children.

The first link, is something rather negative, or, is it positive? A trend that is not so great in medicine today. However, although this is a negative, in Chinese medicine, we say that every extremem turns ot its opposite. This is true in disease and in life. Given this, I believe, that this negative trend is why althernative emdicines of all kinds are becoming more prevalent. People want answers to their problems, they want healing, and they wont stand for anything less. The sad part is that we don't all have equal access due to the fact that we are not all on an equal financial footing.
