Interesting.
I am going to try and sum this up as best I can, but really–no explanation would do tonight’s experience justice.
Being an advocate and lover of traditional western medicine, I am skeptical of all the holistic methods/herb-taking etc. However, at the suggestion of my boyfriend’s aunt (whom I LOVE), I went and got a “contact reflex assessment” today. Lets just say this: It involved a lot of question asking, dietary wrist slapping, and weird instruments/mumbling about reflexes. This woman waved this weird light at my different “reflex points” while tapping down on my left arm and apparently identified my weak areas. Apparently my “TRAUMA” reflex is high, and my adrenal glads are completely fucked. So before you ask, the answer is YES, I did get suckered into spending 55 dollars on two dietary supplements and a bag of xylitol sweetener. Apparently splenda isn’t as wonderful as we all would like to think.
All this hocus pocus…I find it all very strange. But I told her that I like to keep an open mind, and will try anything ONCE. So I am eager to see if my adrenal supplement and rose hips help my FAILING body.
PS–Thanks for all the feedback on the last post, I really appreciate all of your thoughts. Seriously. I wish I had this many friends in real life.

I can understand your skepticism. I used to be skeptic, too. If it wasn’t for holistic medicine my Mom may have almost died from severe gallstones and pancreatic problems. She refused to have surgery (she’s just stubborn like that) and instead tried holistic therapies which ended up calming her system down enough that she learned how to eat correctly and take care of herself so she stopped having attacks and was able to avoid surgery. It’s not for everyone, but it doesn’t hurt either. I would never say it’s better than western medicine but it’s a good addition.
