- Yeah I agree..coming from India I had the opportunity to be
- exposed to various systems that are prevelant there, including
- allopathy of course. Once I had a cyst problem on my face
- and tried homeopathy for quite a while and it seem to take
- forever to cure it. So we decided to go for surgery instead.
- And at other times I have found homeopathy to work very well.
-
- I personally feel it is a good idea to keep the mind open to
- various systems instead of getting fixated on any one no matter
- what. But at times it is probably a good idea to stick with one
- system instead of jumping from one to another when the recovery
- just does not seem to be fast enough.
-
- I also tend to agree with an earlier post which mentioned that our
- ever changing and more synthetic lifestyle may indeed pose some
- difficulty for these natural medicines. Some of these alternative
- systems expect one to lead a certain kind of well disciplined
- life style to be of any use. It is probably unfair to jump into
- them out of the blue and expect all the problems to get fixed in
- no time.
-
- Sometimes I find some of my friends here get so fixated on
- alternative medicine that it worries me..
