Healing is too big a topic for any one person to know it all.

I wish there were easy answers to people's health questions. There aren't. There are answers, all right, but they are not easy.

If you are well educated, and especially if you are a health professional, you will have to unlearn much of what you've been taught and start afresh with the rather disruptive thought that natural healing may actually work.

Self-care means accepting some risk, and accepting much responsibility. It is not for all people or all cases.

If you are not highly educated, you will need to abandon your anxiety and fear of reading and doing research.

Medicine is aptly described as an art, not a science. To this end, four different doctors may have up to four different diagnoses or prescriptions.

We can take more time and interest, and give more attention to our personal health than a hired professional can. We have learned to go get medical help, not to give it. We have learned to relay our body's needs to another, not to provide them ourselves.
