It is a distinguishing feature of natural therapies that they are straightforward and reliable enough to safely do on your own, at home.

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.

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.

This is America, and you have the right to remain sick. If you choose to treat yourself and your family, that is within your rights, and is necessarily your sole decision based on what you know to be best.

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

If you want to be productive, follow leads and dig. Whether it is for oil, gold or information, it requires action - your action. Question authority. Do it yourself.

I believe that alternative healing methods are much more than just temporary or half measures.
