Leading a horse to water can
be frustrating enough. Leading
humans away from the pedestal
many have put their doctors on
can be very challenging. Most
of us want to feel we can put
our trust in doctors. I came
to appreciate alternative healing
but only after allopathic medicine
had failed me enough to change my
mind. I had not been ready before.

Ultimately your family and friends
must also choose for themselves.

I feel like taking care of myself
has proven to be inspirational.
It has taken years sometimes for
someone to be ready to hear what
I have to say. Don't give up, just
keep being your self and walking
YOUR walk and talk. It may not be
easy to support the choice of your
Aunt, but that too, is part of your
own healing.

blessings,
Zoe

ps. I keep telling my own family,
if I begin to show any signs of
mental lapse, just keep dosing me
up with cayenne~!

...and raise you two "DUHS" and one major "ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!"

Natural pepper plant that we eat for food VS rat-poison/coumadin.

Sometimes "screaming" really seems to be the only possible safe/sane reaction.  I know (for me), if I don't pop the safety valve on the 'pressure cooker of evil insanity' every now & then, I'll either explode or implode (both having disastrous effects on my OWN health).

:::sigh/shaking head::: 'Most times I stay sane by making sure I stay/get/keep healthy (we've GOT to be the living proof/example of what we speak!) while doing my best to share, teach, & educate...so others at least have a CHANCE to squiggle away from their evil grasp.

But when it's our elders, especially those we treasure the most (and they've already fallen prey), there's really nothing we can do (and no 'scream we can scream') that will likely change their course.  So it's then (I feel) that we have to do the changing.  Dr. Schulze says (from here): http://curezone.com/schulze/handbook/incur6.asp

I have had many students who have regretted that the last days they spent with mom, dad or uncle Harry was forcing them to undergo some natural therapy, swallow some bad tasting herbs, and listening to them complain as they dragged and tortured them through the programs. Dr. Christopher used to warn, never work on your relatives or friends, and this is why. Hopefully, this information will save you from a bad experience and a life of bad memories.

Remember, there are many paths to follow, and natural healing isn't for everybody. Give your friend/relative the right to drown themselves in chemical poisons and cut and burn their diseases away until they look like Frankenstein, if this is their choice. It is always O.K. to point out alternatives, but a good friend supports you in your decisions, and holds your hand while you are making them. My own brother usually chooses medical torture over my guidance, and I support him 100% and give him my love. It took me a few years to learn how to do this and now we really love each other and have a better relationship than ever.

Forcing someone to submit to natural healing is no different than someone forcing you to take drugs and have surgery.

 

Each of us has "x" amount of time to spend with our precious elders before they pass (and for many of us, that's VERY little time).  When they are gone, the only thing any of us will have are treasured memories.  We MUST (methinks) accept the very real fact that (for whatever reason), they are not likely to change deeply embedded thinking.  We can choose to make these last hours/days/months/years with them full of good memories, or we can choose to make them full of friction, anger, accusations & frustration.

Scream here, scream via email, go to the forest and find a "shrieking tree" to 'shriek it all onto'...but we need to do everything we can to make sure that our LAST memories with those we love are some of the BEST memories.  Thay may be the best 'taking care of ourselves' we can do :)

 

Heal ON!
