I understand where you are coming from Gracie, and with your medical experiences, it is a conclusion that is understandable. We all make our choices based on what we know and what we have experienced.

From my experience, I have used various supplements but do not regularly use ones that I have not researched. Supplementation has an old long history, be it from herbs, both eastern and western, homeopathy or any other natural source. In fact treating "sickness" by natural means is in every culture and seems to be based on holistic understanding. It has such a long written and anecdotal history of success, that I fail to see how it should be dismissed. Every individual has a unique biochemical makeup and everything that we put into our bodies reacts somewhat differently so I expect that some of the "side effects" of drugs might be because of our individual uniqueness.

I do not use supplements that are in the drug stores as they are usually made by a branch of big pharma companies that are trying to get into the "natural health" arena. I prefer companies that have a longer history of making their supplements from a natural source rather than a "lab" source.

We all need to be careful of anyone to whom we trust our life. We give that power over by choice and we have to live with the consequences of making that choice. I am doing my best to trust myself and my choicemaking as I know that in the end I am the only one living my life so there is no one else to take the fallout.

And I am doing it as joyfully as I know how to it, moment by moment and day by day!
