Believe it or not

I think we are amidst bombardment of healing types - both traditional, modern and whatever modern claims as alternative. So, I take each - and observe how my body behaves - reacts in shorter as well as longer term. I don't fear lead poisoning or any excess in my blood, pressure - for well, it is better to experiment rather than buy into anything! And, what best do you have rather than your own self. So, I have tried on myself allopathy, homeopathy, acupressure, reiki and ayurvedic.

Well, none - take it none of it is a panacea - or the magical potion. Nothing happens overnight. Nothing works unless you are able to get to the way you can observe your body. Observe and accept those that you have inherited, observe those that are changing and well, observe observe every day. Every step, every breath.

I think the skeptics are up against Dr. Chopra. http://www.skepdic.com/ayurvedic.html
They are not fond of mind control bringing body control. Well, full marks to you for questioning everything without research. But, do you care to go through all the articles in medical journals - or even question the research there, the sample size, the assumptions, and well, do you have all the information - uncertainty principle eh?!!!

"Many claim that their products or programs offer "optimal nutritional support."
But they conveniently neglect to tell you that a balanced diet provides the nutrients most people need and that government guidelines makes balancing your diet simple


Who forms the government guidelines - which people and on which corporations' board do they sit. They may be honest and could genuinely believe in their products. If masses should believe them, then why can't masses believe the quacks!

This is like - you want everyone to be broad-minded, but won't be broad-minded enough to accept that people can be narrow-minded!!!

I haven't read a single Chopra book - saw the cost and left it at the counter - may be a few pages that a friend loaned. But, then, I can say that your attitude to a situation can bring about physiological changes - don't believe me - try it. If that is what Chopra says, well, I have seen it happening. We can choke our arteries of the neck through anger - or bring up acidity through jealousy. Try it, experiment - allow jealousy to take over - see what it does to your system! So, well, the digene helps, and so do lime juice and buttermilk too but you see what the root is?!!! May be Reiki can heal you (I don't practice it)! But, your attitude change can minimize the damage - (may be thats what they mean by prolonging life)!

Our vigilance on what we put in our minds can help. If you still inherited sickle cell anaemia, I understand your feelings. But, you can help other unnecessary unwanted things.
