Re: Herbs Are Not Effective and Quite Dangerous
Your post needs a 'RRR' H
Thanks.
You know what, something tells me she wants to be proven wrong, otherwise why is she here.
I really hope she sticks around and becomes enlightened.
I've always believed in the spiritual side of life. I've even seen a spirit, An indian chief you will be impressed to know H, i know you mention Red indians sometimes. This was in the uk, not the states btw and i was only eight at the time. My family still think i dreamt it, but i know different.
That is neat. I saw an entity once when I was young, but it was not from here. If you can imagine a large ball of quarter size sequins flashing in the dark then you have it. Scared the crap out of me!!! For a long time I thought it was an Indian spirit because the house is built on an old Indian burial ground. When I described it later to a friend I was told it was an orb. Information came to me later that put it all together for me.
I have a lot of interest and respect for the Native peoples. My great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee and Apache. And that ancestral history has always fascinated me. In fact I have quite a few authentic Native American pieces hanging in my house. Most of them were made by Turtle Woman, the oldest living member of the Turtle Clan. Unfortunately she moved back to the reservation because I would love to get more pieces from her. She does incredible pipes, Shaman sticks, medicine bags, etc. One piece is from an old Lakota friend where I attended sweat lodge up north. Three pieces I purchased from a lady a long time ago. Can't remember where she got them from, but they are authentic. The peace pipe is made with old elk horn about 100 years old. And the pipe is adorned with beads, feathers, leather and horse hair. Gorgeous piece. I also obtained a medicine wheel from her, which is actually my favorite. And a dance stick that freaks some of my friends out because it has the hoof of a deer on the bottom the fur all the way up except where the hand hold is, which is beaded, then the horns at the top with a dream catcher and bells attached. One of my dream catchers is from a Navajo medicine man. My two medicine masks come from a reservation in Arizona and were gifts. The two masks are to be kept together like a husband and wife. Then I have various other pieces. A few I made and the rest were pretty much gifts.
Even so, I've gone through phases where stuff has happened that completely knocked my faith. I'm not religious, to me that is different. You can end up denying and attacking the very thing you want to believe in, you want to be true.
Sometimes going around knocking something, is a cry to say, someone prove it to me please!!!!
This is why I have let her continue with her claims. When people trash alternatives like this all they do is force us to prove that alternatives are not only safer but more effective. So they only go to disprove themselves, especially when they don't provide valid proof to their claims, and the evidence we provide just ends up adding more credibility to alternatives.
