re: your little second cousin. I find kids to be receptive to alternative medicine--they have no preconceived ideas about it, and are much more open-minded than adults. I took my kids, when they were babies and young kids, to the same energy worker I go to and got great results. Now that they are teens, they are much more resistant to going, and when I do get them to go, they are resistant to doing the follow-up treatments at home! When the treatments help them, they say, "oh, I would've gotten better on my own anyway!" I tell them this is probably true, but the treatments cut down on the amount of pain and/or discomfort they were having and shortened the recovery time. Thanks for your blog!
