Mike, Your assessment of chc's post was well-received by me, though I visit his side of the fence more often than the other side.
My concern was with "throwing out the good with the bad" that you alluded to. Sorry, friend, but that has already happened and your reference to the lad who laid open his thumb and "needed" the doctor is a terrific case in point. It tells me clearly that this horse ain't near dead enough. Have you never heard of or used comfrey? It's like science fiction the way this stuff works. Chuck's father laid open his ring finger to the bone when his wedding ring got caught by their automatically- closing trunk. I had given him a comfrey plant and he had dried quite a few leaves which I then blended into a dry powder. He dusted the badly mangled finger with this powder AND used some fresh comfrey blended with water to soak the digit. In WELL UNDER a week (3 or 4 days, I seem to recall) you could hardly see the point of injury. I myself laid open a thumb to the bone, soaked the badly bleeding injury in comfrey water for 30 minutes, there was almost no pain after that and the injury healed to the point that you'd have thought it a mere scratch in 3 or 4 days. My point is: almost nobody I know has any knowledge of comfrey (which even works on my dogs and peafowl-- that pretty well eliminates psychosomatics.) There are MANY SUCH cures that work on everybody, but they don't work on anybody anymore, 'cause that course of study has turned into opinionated herbalism that doesn't work or the study has been altogether abandoned. VERY FEW herbalists with whom we have dealt have any knowledge of dosage. VERY FEW chiropractors with whom I have dealt are more than con artists.
