Abandonment of western medicine

Hello,

Greetings from the alternative to non-western medicine site. My wife and I have had health problems since about age 20. My wife more so than me. We have been to numerous western doctors to treat problems for depression, irritable bowel, endometriosis, thyroid disease, gastritis, back problems, high cholesterol, lichens schlerosis and many more.

We have endured many treatment and medications to try to fight these diseases, but either side effects or unsuccessful results have gravitated us towards alternative treatments for these afflictions.

At first sceptical, myself being in western medicine, I had to work on accepting that alternative treatments may indeed work.

We have tried acupuncture, manuka honey ( for reflux and gastritis), and many nutritional supplements, and to our surprise we have never felt better.

In this blog, I like to share with you my experiences as well as here from other people who have struggled with traditional medicine and seen few if not worse results.

Farewell, hope to hear from you soon
