what a lovely post, very informative and wise. i esp love what you said about your integrative care doc being your partner. as i was reading it, i kept thinking 'you go, girl.' until i got to the part where you said 'there is no cure.' what do you think the herbal & homeopathic remedies are, besides a cure? pharma or radiation - not a cure. herbal & homeopathics that you take for a time and then don't need any more? cures.
