Hi Julierene, I also believe that whatever you feel deep in your heart has a lot to do with healing. And as Faux Gypsey said, don't follow the doctors blindly, but stay pro-active and do whatever it takes to get well.

There are pros and cons on both sides of this coin. Allopathic medicine has failed in many areas that Natural or Homeopathic medicine has excelled, and vice versa.

I have a friend who went to a healer here in California. The healer took no money, as she said her services were a gift from God. She took donations only and only if one could afford to make one. That was 4 years ago and my friend is disease free today after a very grim dx. The difference is, I believe, that she truly believed she could be healed and so went in that direction. She also incorporated Allopathic medicine in her regimine, as well as prayers, naturopathic, accupuncture, and many other avenues.

What may work for one does not necessarily work for another, as we have all seen. Even the chemo choices we have fare well with some, while others don't respond at all.

I hope you do what you truly feel in your gut. However you choose to go is your own decision and we all respect that. God never leaves your side for even a moment. If you believe there are any benefits to this healing, I would embrace it as a gift. If not, then research other options. There are many, varied reasons to go down the paths we choose. and they are all very personal. I wish you the best always.

Love and Peace, Vickie
