Mind over medicine & vice versa
| Sat, 06-24-2006 - 4:39pm |
I recently had a laser treatment to get rid on some pesky bumps in a bad place. My OB/GYN had told me that my "body should take care of them," but since my immune system is currently in shambles, it didn't. The laser did. I had a brief moment of shame that I couldn't handle it on my own but am glad to watch them dry up and go away now.
So, the basic question is, at what point do you trust your faith and your own physical resources to heal you, and for what do you go running for modern medicine? Do you try home remedies and diet/supplements first, or do you call your doctor?

I always try prayer/meditation/seeing myself as well first.It has worked for me for 'small' illnesses, such as colds, stomach flus, being the only one in the house to not get a cold, etc... but I haven't been able to heal a knee I injured skiing a few years ago. So- next step- exercise, physical therapy, wearing a supportive knee band. I must have more belief in that, as I am seeing improvement. I don't think I will need to resort to surgery, but if at some point in the future I do, it means that my belief in the physical exercise wasn't enough.
