I have said repeatedly that in many years, we will be looking at a very different medical approach to illness, and this article is one of many that substantiates that coming change. Researchers are becoming more and more atuned to the fact that it is the eco system that matters and not the one bacteria that needs to be fought off and killed. There are, of course instances where I still think antibiotics are invaluable, but, if they cease being the answer to every little thing, chronic illness will start to decline instead of continue to rise.

I developed the forum to discuss private matters amongst patients. So, I do not read those posts. Someone, however, brought to my attention a string of posts regarding medications and getting off them.

Even someone like myself or perhaps someone with even more experience than myself can fall into the trap of Western thought patterns. And, this is not to say that it is irrelevant, surely it isnt. However, fundamentally to practicing this medicine, one must heed close attention to the rules of Chiense medicine in order to practice it succesfully.
I myself made a huge mistake in treating myself for just a cold! And unbelievably in a period of two hours I turned myself around from feeling like I had a fever and wanting to crawl into bed to OMG-lets go out and do something!

This is a nice article connecting the gastrointestinal tract with heart disease. I have many people who have over the years had heart issues. Most of them have undiagnosable heart problems-typically feelings in the heart but, there is nothing actually wrong. Some have diagnosis. In Chinese medicine, we look at all of the organ sysems and how the interact and effect one another. Bladder problems may often be accompanied by heart issues. This is one reason why I thought this article was interesting.

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.
