What did we gain from our experience? We always remained hopeful. When faced with infertility, we always envisioned that we would have children when all signs were pointing to a different outcome. We worked through the MS even though the prognosis was not good. The tumor was just another challenge for us to deal with. In all instances we took control of our own situation and learned as much as we could about infertility, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors. We feel that positive thinking, taking control and learning about what we had to deal with; and using the medical system where possible along with other more metaphysical means of healing, all played a part in our positive outcome. This is why we fully support an integrative approach to any illness.

You pick the medication, diabetes, osteoporosis, cholesterol or blood pressure - some of the more popular ones - all have side effects that can be categorized as "doing harm".
The major problem with all of the chemically based, lab created, over the counter drugs is that they do the same thing every time - they mask the symptoms and make them seem smaller and easier to deal with, and that's all that they will ever do, seriously. And after we've tried this, and we've tried that, and we've even tried the other thing, what is the next thing we get up the courage to do? We go and see the doctor for help.
Patients are typically looking for someone who can communicate on their level. They want to know that they are spending money on something that will work. They want to trust their acupuncturist. The best way to build trust is to communicate. The acupuncturist who wants to build their practice needs to learn to communicate in the language of their patients and not in the language of the medicine.
