jake, what i said was it worked for me (twenty years ago) when i went to a therapist with impacted and infected wisdom teeth, and was terrified of the surgery! ergo i don't think there is 'nothing' in it! and i would support a person's choice to use it if they have tried everything FACT
but i have ALSO agreed that trying to cure HIV or cancer is inethical, although i made the point that many other complementary therapies also help with the side effects of conventional medications and treatments, eg. sleeplessness and consitipation is greatly helped by reflexology! then i was told this was nothing to do with it! FACT!
most comments were then taken out of context and singly undermined by other people who had nothing useful to add!
SO if you read accurately, i am just saying it worked for me but should be used carefully and not for serious illnesses, where a better outcome can be achieved through modern methods!
i think we should also remember that modern medicine cannot cure every ill and that expensive treatments, excessive medication and further discomfort can often be avoided by integrating nutritional and alternative approaches where appropriate!
also poor diet and environment causes many diseases, but we choose to ignore that, and expect the NHS to bail us out at all costs!
AND NO, I WAN'T SAYING THAT I ONLY CARE ABOUT HOMEOPATHS OFFERING HIV TREATMENTS IN THE UK - NOWHERE DID SAY THAT SNEERING COMMENT - BUT IF ITS OUTSIDE THE UK 'WE' CANNOT OUTLAW IT!!!
