Becoming an Alternative Health practitioner was the logical and practically unavoidable result of being born with significant health issues that the medical profession not only couldn't help, but actually aggravated.
Over the years, I have found considerable relief from some of the issues I was born struggling with, but some of the other issues have refused to be resolved. This has resulted in my developing a continual search mentality, always reading, always searching. This has turned out to be a benefit to me, for it has produced a Perpetual Student attitude in me. Being very human, if I have a string of successes with my clients, it's easy to fall prey to an attitude of elitism, a "I'm one of the Better Practitioners, the Effective Ones". But then I have to face my consistent failure at finding answers to my own issues, rather humbling (though healthy), to say the least. Within the limits of finances, family and personal flexibility, I have experimented with a lot of supplements and therapies that have received high praise from others. There is still, in me, a subconscious hope that I will finally stumble upon that Magic Elixir, that Super Potion, the Cure-all that will conquer my and my clients health problems. Oh, I know logically that there is no Silver Bullet (I had thought I found it in CS, but I was wrong), but something in me still hopes, Maybe, Maybe, Maybe. When I first came across Noni juice, everyone was crying, "This is the stuff!" (as I have seen with many, many other things). I bought 12 bottles of it and started drinking. After six bottles, I noticed nothing whatsoever. The fellow I bought it from suggested inceasing the dosage, so I doubled the recommended intake. After six more bottles and no more results than if I had been drinking lemon-aid, I once again faced the reality: There is no Silver Bullet. Good health will not come from That One Special Nutrient that you need. Good health can only come from healthy living. I am not opposing Noni juice. Many folks have experienced good results from Noni juice (and from Colostrum, and bentonite clay, and Colloidal Silver, and Co-Q10, and Vitamin C, etc.), but the only Cure to poor health is good health, is caring for your body, mind and spirit. My two cents.
