Attitude therapy is as important a part of a healing therapy mode as are any carbon molecules of nutritional value. > > Doug Thank You Douglas I have been on the net since 94. Help to start a group on alternative therapies used in hepatitis and how to avoid liver cancer, in 96. I even was list owner for a year or so after the former list owner died. Back in those days it was not infrequent that new members would object to others post and frequently with cites to rules. On that list we never had any rules though:-) LOL We now have a very friendly group in many ways. Grand baby pictures are even allowed :-). Politics are ok as long as O.T. jokes are welcome and we don't even care if someone sends a personal thanks or a me too, intended to one other member that goes to the entire list.The thing that I have learned is that it is very very difficult to stick to any long term alternative therapy when delt the cards of a chronic illness. Without the socal aspect and sharing of interest and joint effort on an occasionl project the lifts the importance of a list and its members, up one level and some kick and scream the whole time LOL :-), a list is almost useless to many. Simply for the reason they do not feel that socal toward the other members that are trying to help with the best research etc. that is out there. Might as well read a nutrional herbal self improvement book in the library. No need to even check it out, so to speak. Cheers and thanks for you very well worded post and thoughts. I wish you the best for everything your trying to do and a long life. > - > aesculapius_ca > Gettingwell > Tuesday, October 29, 2002 2:43 PM > Re: Amina Lawal to be buried up to her neck and stoned to death > > > I just signed up for this group yesterday.
