I believe out bodies get out of kilter without and need a wee nudge in the right direction.. any help here Jamin please..
You're doing exactly the same kind of things people criticize doctors for. Overmedication is replaced by oversupplementation. Looking for the answer in a pill without analyzing the problem.

Have you ever looked into magnesium deficiency and the symptoms of that deficiency? MANY world wide are deficient and the doctors go to drug them vs looking at deficiencies.

And I'm not against "thinking" therapy but our bodies can be crying for help due to deficiencies.

dizzybint: Your relative could be deficient in thyroid hormone if that has not been worked on thoroughly. I went 10 long years with this deficiency until the RIGHT doctor finally helped me. No lab numbers, nada, just started me on theraputic dose that was a miracle after 10 yrs of depression.

Finding the right doctor is GOLD.

Haven't talked on here for a long while and thinking almost every day I hear of horrible cancer stories being discussed mostly on NPR which is my favorite news group. Today it was a woman from Ireland talking about her story, got wrong dx and thought no cancer and then found a little later she does have cancer, I think the story ended and she was gone.

And thinking the main reason I started on Pycnogenol back in 1995 and then went to Grape Seed Extract a year later and now on it 23 yrs, is MAY prevent cancers. I'm doing good at 80 and continue to take these antioxidants daily. So so many have no idea of it's power.

Of course, no guarantees but what guarantee is there with anything we do.

One can find so much info by just a google: Cancer and grape seed extract

Just talking to a friend on another group and I posted the What Scares ... link on page 1 here and he came back and said he's got friends who have prescriptions for prescriptions...one thing I've avoided. Said his doctor wanted to put him on cholesterol meds and he said to her "no way, my chol is good for my age".

Having some thoughts on how "WE" give opinions and suggestions on what others could do when they ask for advice here.

Those in the allopathic, western medicine world, either as their professions or their relatives go right to "get to a doctor". Some have gone to a fear that it's cancer before the the poster can even read more info on their post or form thoughts of their own. Then there are comments like fatal, if one is a bit fearful when they here, they are now more fearful....geez.

Many of us, think of more overall reasons what could be going on. Things to think about and try before running to doctors and drugs.

The psychology of it all, very interesting and true. The opposing mindsets of achieving wellness.
