Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Can we just stick to supporting people and helping each other instead of trying to figure everyones reasons out for doing certain things? I know I am VERY sick and I appreciate any ideas anyone has to get better, if they work or not, but I wish we could stick to the topic from now on....support. These emails that everyone is sending out are a bit depressing, like any of us need to be more depressed..... Shirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 I can't believe that we aren't able to voice different opinions on this group without having to resign, it is sad that e is leaving because I feel much of her information is very good and helpful. I am not going against Patty's information, however e has 4 years of Nursing school and all the years of nursing practice to provide us with some really good information and to chase her away because her opinion isn't all for natural remedies seem really silly. I think she has been harmed by implants just like the rest of us, and even if we don't agree with what she is saying doens't mean we should chase her away. I also feel that it is really interesting to get both sides of the story the natural and the allopathic views. I am going to tell a story here that is true and shows that natural healing doesn't alway work and can sometimes have dire consequences, will I be asked to leave also for this? I hope not, cause I enjoy this group allot. There was a woman my husband new, she was very healthy and all natural and was a vegetarian and took supplements and herbs and was very into the holistic lifestyle. One day at work he noticed a huge lump on her neck the size of a walnut and so did some of the girls in the office, concerned they asked her about it. SHe said not to worry she was being treated by a naturopath and it was under control. Well, time went by and the lump grew and grew and she began to get sicker and sicker and finally was wasting away and too ill to do anything, so a friend convinced her to see a regular Dr. Well he told her it was cancer and that it had spread to her voice box. He told her if she wanted to live he would have to remove her voice box. SHe refused and went back to her natural healer and herbs and supplements, well a few months later she died. My point of this story is that sometimes natural treatments and therapies just cannot save us. Now if she would have went to a Dr and had radiation treatments in the very beginning she may have been able to live a few more years of her life and instead she dies swiftly and painfully. Now is this offensive to anyone here? It really happened so if it is then maybe you need to look at this as an example. Healing therapies can help keep us healthy and they can improve our health but they certainly cannot cure us of cancer or terminal illnesses. My other point here is that e provided this group with the information that we still need to be seen by dr's for pap smears, mamograms and other tests that natuopaths do not provide if we want to have control over our bodies. I am not saying that all Dr's are good, far from it. But they allow us to prevent and treat diseases that cannot be treated with a vitamin. I am sorry to see e go because she challenged someone elses opinion on this group, I think is is sad, because if someone challenges me I do not take it personally I would look at it as an opportunity to re examine my own opinions and see wether or not there is validity in someone elses, and it is also freedom of expressing ones self. THis group should be allowed to express all forms of healing not just one.I also see that e was way sicker than allot of us here and she is doing so much better now, it would seem that her methods are certainly working well for her and I really like having an RN to provide us with information coming from her education and extensive background. I will miss you e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 I agree totally, I am still sick too and that is why I was saying that I think it is stupid to make people leave the group because they don't agree with what therapy works best for what. Natural or chemical, if it works I think we would all like to know about it. SO why all the arguing In @y..., shg713@a... wrote: > Can we just stick to supporting people and helping each other instead of > trying to figure everyones reasons out for doing certain things?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hey , The definition in Taber's didn't say that polyclonal gammopathy was myeloma, but was present in diseases similar to myeloma, which is an autoimmune disorder. And it does have to do with different types of cells, poly meaning " many. " I too, doubt that you have myeloma, but you're right it does have something to do with an autoimmune/connective tissue disorder. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
