Great thread.

We've dealt with several things in our family. My son's NVLD (non-verbal learning disability), my husband's diabetes (he's completely normal now, blood sugar wise, just with diet and exercise), and my leg- the result of a resistant bacterial infection after a simple arthroscopic surgery.

We've learned a lot, and I think out lifestyle and diet are healthier than they've ever been. You can respond to illness by giving in, or by getting really active and interested in it. I don't think you can criticize people who give up- it can be pretty overwhelming, but I do think there are benefits to confronting your illness, and getting better in as many ways as you can. I've found some of the alternate therapies to have been the best ways to rehabilitate my leg- but on the other hand, I'm SURE glad I got boutique antibiotics when I got the infection in the first place.

I'm trying to blend the best of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine with Western medicine and good physical therapy and massage. So far, so good.
