Medicine man verses Doctor

Stairway to Heaven

A redhead, brunette and blonde were on their way to Heaven. God told them the stairway to Heaven was 1000 steps, and on every 5th step He’d tell them a joke. But, they must not laugh or else they couldn’t enter heaven.The brunette went first and started laughing on the 65th step, so she could not enter Heaven.The redhead went next and started laughing on the 320th step, so she could not enter Heaven either.Then, it was the blonde’s turn. When she got to the 999th step, she started laughing.“Why are you laughing?” God asked. “I didn’t tell a joke.”“I know,” the blonde replied. “I just got the first one.”

Just thought I'd open the evening...morning...with a little humor. Never a bad way to start a day, right? Hehe. Well I forgot my password and the email I used to open the account for a while, and just barely remembered what they were. So if anyone has been crying in the corner because of my absence, you have my deepest appologies!



So I've had this thing about being a nurse for a little while, and I would still love to learn all the valuable knowledge they posess. But I've been reading into that world lately and a few things bother me. For one, the textbooks you study to take the test have a very similar pattern throughout the chapters. 1-symptoms and diagnosis of the specific disease or aliment. 2-medication and treatment possibilities. 3-what to do when medications fail, primarily, surgery, and possible removal of organs.



I don't have anything against modern medicine; I think it is a great blessing and step forward in mankind. But I also think there are loads of natural remedies and medicines we are leaving behind in the process, ones that are more helpful to the workings of our bodies then some medication. I know many people who study herbs and have had incredible success in helping conditions like fibromialgia, arthritis, insomnia, headaches, skin problems, mild organ disfunctions, etc. I want to study more into the concept of natural medicine. But don't fear! I have no intentions of becoming a fanatic. Being an extremist in supporting either the indian medicine man or the modern doctor isn't going to get me anywhere but a dead end. The path to more understand is in the middle, where the two knowledges combine. Taking the best of both worlds and moving on to more discoveries is what I intend to be a part of.

  1. I was crying. for a month and a half. good thing you finally figured things out! (speaking of the blog, that is) I like that you aren't becoming an extremist :) you will definitely benefit more with both sides/views.
