Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Dear Donald & everyone... It came to me in my meditation today, that what transpired between us yesterday was exactly related to lifestyle, and proved the exact point we were discussing... I also realized I could have acted in a better way... I realized through this past series of emails (admittedly in retrospect) that lifestyle includes communication choices. Additionally it is clear there is a division of mind required in order to see homeopathic or herbal remedies as separate from constructive lifestyle choices. Groceries are no different than homeopathic remedies or herbs, that belief is just rooted in a lack of understanding… Mother nature provides many healing plants, they are simply " prepared " in different ways. When you say pills in a bottle, that is more appropriately applied to allopathic medicine whose goal is to manipulate the body into suppressing symptoms, resulting in lowered vital force. Homeopathic, herbal, ayurvedic remedies, etc., are just nature's bounty (like groceries) but cooked and prepared differently, while similarly striving to nourish, harmonize, and strengthen the body as well as the vital force. From that perspective, eating spinach for more iron and eating homeopathic ferrum phos or ferrum met, in order to enhance assimilation and utilization of iron, both work synergistically in balancing and supporting iron related functions in the body. That being said, those who eat perfect diets, workout daily, etc., can still become ill, then it becomes all the more imperative to consult Mother nature's additional gifts of mercy. In retrospect, I more fully understand why lifestyle choices are so important to you, I suggest this in light of the fact that there are clearly lifestyle choices with which you need to address. Just as you accuse others of having a reluctance to address their lifestyle, let me humble suggest that you look at your own lack of communication clarity and passive/aggressive communication choices- indeed a lifestyle choice. If you prefer to address lifestyle limitations through will power and self-awareness, and without the help of remedies, I wish you well in your endeavors. But if realizing how difficult it can be to change these engrained ruts, may I suggest, most likely yours is a symptom of a larger picture at work, most likely benefited by Arsenicum Alb. This will ease the work ahead, but not eliminate it, self-awareness will still be required. I realize now, and do apologize, that I should have been more compassionate and recognized this is simply an expression of your unique and particular limitations and imbalances, (please don't take this as an attack, we all have them… Every single one of us on this planet) I should have addressed this lifestyle limitation just the same as if someone presented to me with a more physical issue such as a sore throat or headache. And I should have been more patient and understanding, while working harder with you to move past your limitations… While there clearly are limits as to what I will tolerate here at Searching-Alternatives, I feel this relationship can yet be healed and restored, benefiting all concerned. I apoligize again, and let's leave this discussion at that. In light of this, banning you was inappropriate. Therefore, I have removed your ban, so if you would like to, you are more than welcomed to return to Searching-Alternatives. Be Well, Misty L.
