Can an Herbalist See a Doctor or is
that Cheating?
Can a Doctor or Nurse see an
Herbalist or is that Cheating?
Ok I wanted to just cost this on my FB page as a status. But
FB sucks so I shall do a blog instead.
Let food be our medicine.
Yes we should be looking at food, sleep and vitalism type therapies
(which are not really therapies in my mind but common sense) for basic health
and sustainment. But that said…sometimes we NEED herbs, hydrotherapy,
aromatherapy (in safe applications) and other natural therapeutics to help with
our health issues. Maybe food allergy
elimination and challenge is all we would need. Maybe we need more than that,
too. That’s all ok. BUT SOMETIMES we need conventional
medicine. Yes I said it. Sometimes you just need to get your ass to
the doctor. There is nothing wrong with
that. You are not ‘cheating’ you are
not a bad herbalist if you go to the doctor.
It doesn’t mean natural therapeutics don’t work (but hell you need the
damn arm set and in a cast). Big deal!!!
Just deal with it. Don’t let
dogma get you in a bind where you can’t be healthy. I like what Paul Bergner says on that, ‘My
Karma ran over my Dogma…”
NOW that said, sometimes conventional medicine can fails us and
we need to back to natural therapeutics.
So that means you went to the doctor and it just didn’t happened for
you. The meds caused you more issues
that you started with or the MD told you to just have saltines and water (I was
told that once and to just eat more toast). So you are not a bad conventional medicine
person (nurse, doctor, etc) if you see an herbalist or other CAM professional. Its fine we are not going to judge you (even
though the judgment is often returned to us).
And we often can work together and that is ok too…..
The point to this blog is, IT’S OK!!! Don’t get excited, there is a place in this
world for all of us and we both have a reason to be here and there is no reason
our paths can’t cross. There is no line
in the sand that you can’t cross ‘or you are a bad person.’
Remain calm, do what you need to do for you.
