On the weekend I watched a program called Marketplace on CBC, the topic being homeopathic medicine. The anchor woman showed her complete lack of knowledge on the subject and, while showing her prejudice towards alternative medicine, spent the duration of the show trying to disprove the benefits of homeopathic treatments. On their website they report that the program shows no obvious bias and gives the lay person a good idea of what homeopathic medicine is all about. That statement proves that they know nothing about the subject; otherwise they would know what fools they made of themselves by allowing this show to air in a valiant attempt to make fools out of those of us who choose to put our trust in homeopathic doctors! This episode removed all credibility for the program. Sorry Marketplace. You got this one wrong.
Each day I’m reminded of how important it is to take control of our own health care. Society puts a lot of pressure on us to follow the norm, take the pills to mask the problem so that more health issues can manifest in our bodies. The pharmaceutical companies have a lot of control of what happens in our health care system and you can bet they want us to keep taking their drugs!
I am grateful to be finding a balance between mainstream and alternative medicines. My advice to you is to not let anyone’s opinion, including mine, decide your fate. No one person has all the answers and no one science has all the answers. You have the right to gather as many professional opinions as you need to look after your body. Practice communicating to each of your doctors the different things you are doing, so they can better decide how to proceed with their treatments for your case; which isn’t always easy but stick with it and demonstrate that you will be the one to decide your future.
I want to hear what you have to say about this or any other topic I write about. Lets discuss how we can help ourselves live a fuller an healthier life.
Until next time, take care.

About Me
- Mary Dancey
- I am a dialysis patient discovering the ingredients needed to heal my body. Mainstream medicine saved my life and gave me the opportunity to do my own dialysis treatments at home. Mainstream doctors tell me that my kidneys won’t heal and that I should get a transplant. They think if I do heal it would be a miracle. I believe very strongly that my body is capable of healing itself. I am taking full responsibility for my disease and for my recovery. I have turned to naturopathic and homeopathic doctors to help me with this. This is my journey. I invite you to join me in finding out how to create miracles in our lives. I’m learning so much along the way and I hope you are able to gain something from my experience. I look forward to hearing your story also. Together we can help each other move from a life of dis-ease to a life of ease.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI watched that too and am skeptical to jump on board a ship of "mystery". Without scientific proof I am very hesitant that it is for me.
Hi Kathy
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I’m so happy to hear from you! It means someone other than family and friends is reading my blog…it’s a big day! I want to point out that each science has a way of proving its point. Just because one science can’t, or won’t, back up other sciences doesn’t mean they don’t work. There are many alternatives medicines in existence, and each of them can prove its worth in one form or another. If mainstream science worked for every one then there would be no disease. I’m sure you would agree that isn’t the case.
I believe if one thing doesn’t work keep trying until you find the treatment that works for you. It might be mainstream or if might be one of the alternatives or a combination of several. We have so many options these days. I know for sure it is possible to help, and in some cases completely eliminate, a lot of ailments with non intrusive, safe treatments. I know this because I’ve taken the time to experiment and learn.
I encourage you to open yourself up to the infinite possibilities offered to us in the mysterious world we call science. Each of us has the right to choose what works best for us. In my case, I refuse to admit that my health situation is out of my control. I am an example that there is so much we can do to help ourselves on the path to healthy mind and body.
Thanks for your comment Kathy. Good luck with whatever you choose as your health care system or systems.
