The difference between science and various forms of holistic medicine-most particularly Chinese medicine is that having a different way through which to view illness and health often opens up different possibilities for treatment. I was speaking to someone recently who struglles with severe depression and anxiety and has had to turn to prescription medication on and off throughout her life. We have been working on this issue with her and the way in which we have been addressing it provides remarkable results. She asked me if I could explain.

In January 2014 I had my first ever Bladder infection. I went to my doctor
and did a urine sample and walked away with an antibiotic. The day I
finished taking the prescription the symptoms returned so I thought probably
the medicine had just not completely knocked it out. So I called the doctor
and he called me in another prescription. It never came to anybody’s
attention least of all mine to ask if I actually showed infection. To this day I
still don’t know. Anyway, after the second prescription the same thing

My name is Scott and in 2006 (when I was 41) I was suffering from symptoms typical of
a bad urinary tract infection off and on for over 6 months. My symptoms included pelvic
pressure (even after I urinate) urinary frequency and urgency, burning during and/or
after urination. I was also beginning to feel classic symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowel
Syndrome), rectal itching, urgent bowel movements etc. These symptoms seemed to
“attack me” or “flare up” every week or two, and last anywhere from 3 to 10 days. It

I have posted a lot over the years on the power of one's own mind and belief. I think it was last year I posted about a book called Biology Of Belief, which, I really feel in love with speaking about the concepts of defying your own genetic make up and tendencies based on what it is YOU beleive. http://www.amazon.com/The-Biology-Belief-Unleashing-Consciousness/dp/140...

I know that I post post post and then I disappear for a bit before another go. What happens is that I post on things that inspire me and sometimes finding that insipiration is difficult. What we do here is so very stressful. I have been thinking about all the various things I could say in the last week and it all seemed redundant and oversaid. This morning, I received an email from someone, and this was after many other conversations on the phone this week that were similar and I suddenly that inspired me.

Interstingly a spoke to a long time patient yesterday and we had not spoken for a bit. In the time between our talks she had had a really bad case of pneumonia that she decided to treat with antibiotics. They gave her steroids as well. She happened to have an accident about a month after this and went to the ER. They took her bloods and did scans etc... to make sure she was OK. Low and behold her liver enzymes were through the roof. Then they did a liver scan and her liver had lesions that were unfamiliar and worrisome. She had to go to a liver specialist.
