Patti,

I didn't see 's post but it is probably just

another opinion and I doubt that it was aimed at you.

You have done extensive research and are not just

taking shots in the dark. Please consider it another

opinion and not an attack and don't leave the group

we'd miss you and your knowledge.

I swore off conventional medicine a few years ago and

went on all kind of supplements/alternatives. I was

directed by a nurse practioner that was recommended to

me. The more I read about herbs and alternatives the

more apprehensive I get about them but I am also

apprehensive about many drugs and I don't know what

the really good answer, maybe a combination of the

two.

I am also studing about the mind (particularly from a

religious standpoint) and how thougthts in the mind

can and do make one well or sick. Well that's another

theory to investigate and think about. I wish

everyone would take the differences of opinions as

just that and not take it as a personal afront.

Actually I've wondered if by taking drugs/or

alternatives do make on believe that they will be

better and then they are. The books I am reading say

just that. I am working on changing my thinking. If

I am successful I'll let you know. What can it hurt

we all are trying anything that can work. I have been

every route to cure my leg pain, I'm willing to try

anything not to be living in pain.

You have seen Mike's labs improve. Others take

Actigall and no SAMe or other supplements and their

labs have improved. All we can do is continue doing

what we are doing as long as it works. Phil has been

going along thinking positive and swearing that is

helping him and you know what - it is!!! I am a

negative thinker and I am a physical wreck. That's

why I am taking the approach of changing my mind.

Don't knock it until you've tried it and everyone has

a right to their opinion. The best advise is to do

what you tell everyone - get educated on what you are

doing.

Again, I really hope you don't leave.

Peg
