Actually, after the procedure it never hurt once, even over the days after it happened, and I barely touched the Rx they provided. Hmmm… hadn’t thought about that till just now. Interesting.

But yeah, it does follow the old maxim of “It’s more profitable to treat a disease than to cure it” mentality. The problem is most people don’t need curing - they just need a change of mind.

Have fun, always…

You know, I had one doctor who had a pill for everything (I am hearing “White Rabbit” in the background. LOL) and boy did she get upset when I told her I wouldn’t take a new one and wanted to try alternative methods. Wow.I got reamed out on that one. SO,I have a new doctor,who so far is more open to non-drug treatments,but I suppose she is rare. It may have also helped that I went into the first appointment as was straight with her, that I was not so keen on pills unless totally needed.

But to see a new drug nearly every day on TV, or in the print media (magazines, etc), it’s getting out of hand. Medicine can’t fix everything, and their simply can’t be a drug for every situation either.

Got restless legs? Wham, here’s a yet another new damned drug for you - and failing to mention eating bananas will help resolve it and it’s totally natural, but nooo.. people would rather have a Doctor say “Here, take this pill.” I’ve got restless legs, I always have since birth. Think I’m gonna take some pill for it? Nope.

And I’ve met lots of Doctors of all fields in my time and unless they have specific training and firsthand experience with hypnosis directly in their background, you get almost the same reaction as we discussed and commented on in one of your earlier postings, Ellie: that blank stare for just a brief moment then the open ended statement in hushed tones: “A hypnotist, huh.”

Kinda sad in this day and age that hypnosis still has such a negative stigma attached to it, even in the professional community at large. Bleh. Ignorance isn’t bliss, it’s just stupid, period.

Have fun, always…
