Re: Bloodletting

"you want something that is inferred by all their brainwashing techniques of advertising and tv and films and books, but it simply doesnt exist. i, too, would have killed for a diagnosis at one point. i am lucky i never really got one."

That is not strictly true. What I want is to be certain; to rid myself of suspicion and the doubt it breeds. I do realise that all dis-ease is one and the same, regardless of symptoms and/or labels, yet a part of my mind (that which still recalls the years of fear and paranoia) requires satisfaction. I would love nothing more than for a blood test to come back "all-clear," yet I know in my heart that, even if it did, all is not well...

My pH will tell the story, and I shall divulge the first reading to members of this very forum...whether they wish to read of it or not! I am, to an extent, still very "new" to the world of natural health, thus, on occasion, I am guilty of returning to my darkest of pasts - the mind's bleak plateau where only depression dwells.

Thank you for the virtual slap in the face, Mr. Toad ;) - it is very much needed at times.
