A new healthy thread

When individuals praise the "natural" herbals over drugs I always remind them that in the end food, herbs, drugs...are all chemicals in one form or another that we allow into our body. That is why the ancient remedies worked. Each of us reacts differently to the chemicals that we put into our bodies..... So some are deadly, some are harmful, others are inert and have no effect and others are very helpful.... And our mind set can sometimes effect physical changes in our brain.....I just love the research using fMRI......

I agree! What powers the human mind possesses! It can make you sick or heal you I do think we are behind the times with our western medicine. The homeopaths and herbalists are with it! There is a lot to be said for eastern medicine and natural remedies. Not all states have these type of Drs available. I see there are quite a few here in FL. My daughter, Holly, works in a family practice and there is a PA in her office who thinks like me I'm planning to make an appt with her when I go visit Holly and the kids. She is a participating provider on my ins, so that is a plus! Plus, Holly can block off extra time for me so we can have time to talk about all I need to

I agree the power of the mind is amazing. In hypnosis class this week the instructor put a girl in hypnosis and with her prior agreement, made her stiff as a board and they placed her body between two chairs. He had her in hypnosis and between the chairs in less than three minutes! He has done this with her twice before and she goes into hypnosis almost as soon as he tells her to close her eyes. The class is to teach how to help people with things like weight loss, to stop smoking and improve sleep to name just a few. But he does do a demo like this occasionally just to show what the mind can do. I have a couple of videos of the process but not sure if I can get them on here.

Mtngal, I think I'd like to ease into more vegan recipes, not sure I can give up dairy I love my goat milk. If you have some recipes for main dishes would you post one or give a source where you find suggestions of what to eat. Sorry it didn't work for your problem but seems to have helped in a lot of other ways.
