Probably long suffering too

Indeed, lol! In more than one sense of the word, I'd bet.

That one is too close to home to be funny. (Not criticizing you, btw.) I have great respect for natural remedies and supplements when appropriate. Most ESPECIALLY when the physician will prescribe something that is really just a patented, synthesized version of the natural. Given sufficient quality and strength control (the biggest downfall of natural remedies), they are generally superior in how the body assimilates and uses them.

HOWEVER ... more than once I've had to correct clients who claimed everything in our establishment was "safe, because it's natural - can't hurt you!" That is very untrue. You don't give a natural remedy that will result in increased heart rate to someone whose heart already pumps too fast, or irregularly - they could die.

And one time we were on our way on vacation, and my friend (who was a homeopath and childbirth doula) received a call that one of her clients, who wanted a home birth, had gone into labor and was hemorrhaging badly. They wanted to know what homeopathic remedy to use. My friend said, "hang up the phone NOW, call 911, and go to the hospital! NOW!" Which memory is my reason for not finding it funny. People need to use common sense!

(And in spite of my background, when I learned I had cancer, I scheduled surgery and cancer treatment, not vitamins alone. I've watched a dear friend take the natural route and die a slow, agonizing death. Lord have mercy!)

Anastasia - I'm in total agreement - natural remedies can help - but we also have to be aware that there may be problems.

I still shudder at the memory of being told by someone that my husband's AML was due to the fact that we ate meat and did not live on a diet of organic vegetables.

I'm sorry. Yes blaming people for their illnesses can be very counterproductive too.
